The robber leader was not a tough guy.

Before he even started doing anything, he started crying and howling.

"Please, please forgive me. It was Chen Gui who tricked me into coming here."

"Who is Chen Gui?"

"Chen Gui is a servant of Zhang Changsha's family!"

Zhuge Liang explained to Zhuge Tian, ​​"Zhang Changsha is Zhang Xian, the current governor of Changsha."

Zhuge Tian looked at the robber leader who was wailing while holding his leg and said, "Treat his wounds and take him to the Zhang family tomorrow."

Zhuge Liang nodded. Chen Gui had already betrayed his own people. Handing this man over to the Zhang family was considered a favor to them.

It can also serve as a warning to others.

Let other people with ideas be more restrained.

Now he also understood why Zhuge Tian asked him to take gifts to his two sisters' homes as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang.

This is to tell other wealthy families about their background.

Other aristocratic families would not risk offending the Pang and Kuai families to deal with them for this money.

This kind of highly profitable business would be difficult to do without any background.

Once you are targeted by those wealthy families, you will be eaten until not even a bone is left.

Although Zhuge Liang had made some progress in his studies, he was still far behind Zhuge Tian in these aspects.

After returning to Wolong Village, Gan Ning followed Zhuge Tian curiously.

He also claimed that he was an expert at barbecue, but the pork always had a fishy smell no matter how he prepared it.

He wanted to see how Zhuge Tian would handle it.

"Why are you following me? You need to learn how to remove the fishy smell first, and you have to kill the pig first!" Zhuge Tian said with a wry smile: "Remember to save all the pig's blood."

"Can you eat blood?"

“It’s delicious!”

After hearing what Zhuge Tian said, Gan Ning took his men to slaughter pigs and sheep.

I collected a basin of pig blood and just as it was ready, Zhuge Tian arrived.

After adding a little water and a pinch of salt and stirring it again, Zhuge Tian nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, leave it there. I'll make a dish of pickled pepper pig's blood later."

Then we start processing the meat, mainly pork.

You have to remove the hair first. Usually when they cook pork, they don’t even remove the hair. How can it taste good?

Pull out what can be pulled out, burn what can be burned, and for some difficult-to-reach places, just use a soldering iron.

After finishing the work, Gan Ning saw Zhuge Tian take out some bright yellow oranges.

After cutting it in half, squeeze the juice on top.

"This is not an ordinary orange." Gan Ning took one curiously.

"Try squeezing some." Zhuge Tian teasingly handed Gan Ning a cut lemon.

"Your smile is... weird. Is it unpalatable?" Gan Ning sniffed it and found a sour fragrance. Just the smell made his mouth water.

Zhuge Tian suppressed his laughter and said, "If this is put into the meat, how can it be unpalatable?"

"Why can he taste it but not me?" Liao Hua on the side was unhappy.

"Then you two should try it?" Zhuge Tian was helpless. There were people who were eager to get cheated.

Gan Ning glared at Liao Hua and said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors!"

"Just guess, am I afraid of you?"

Then Liao Hua's triumphant laughter was heard soon: "Hahaha, Gan Xingba, you should practice rock-paper-scissors more."

He stretched out his right hand in front of Gan Ning and said, "Give it to me!"

Gan Ning reluctantly put the lemon in Liao Hua's hand, then found some juice left on his hand, and licked it secretly.

"very sour……"

Fortunately, there was too little juice, so Gan Ning looked at Liao Hua with some anticipation.

Liao Hua took his spoils and looked at them.

He took half in each hand, tilted his head back and squeezed all the juice into his mouth, imitating Zhuge Tian's way of squeezing a lemon.

"Ah!" All of a sudden, Liao Hua's face wrinkled like an old chrysanthemum.

"Pah, pah, pah, so sour!"

"Hahahahahaha!" The others looked at him and burst into laughter.

"Hanxing, you!"

"Hey, I didn't cheat you. You just snatched it away yourself! And the same thing happened to Xingba. You asked for it yourself because you wanted to have a taste of it."

Zhuge Tian put aside the matter and continued to deal with it.

In fact, the fishy smell of pork is caused by a variety of substances in it.

Ammonia, trimethylamine and other fishy substances are alkaline, and adding lemon is to neutralize these substances with the help of citric acid.

Cooking wine is added because the small molecular fishy substances in the meat are easily soluble in ethanol.

Spices and seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic and star anise are used to cover up the fishy smell.

After marinating it with lemon juice for a while, Zhuge Tian poured some wine into it.

"Oh my, the wine just spilled like that!" Gan Ning and Liao Hua said in unison with a tone of regret.

Just by smelling it, I feel like it is a good wine.

"After we harvest the grain, we'll make our own wine."

Zhuge Tian didn't even raise his head as he spoke while "massaging" the meat.

You can buy alcohol at convenience stores, but it's really not cheap.

Now all this wine can buy a pig.

It is still more cost-effective to brew it yourself, and then you can sell it for money.

It turns out that my master likes this kind of wine. At that time, there was no such thing as buying wine through the checkout system.

So he has been helping to brew everything since he was a child, and he knows how to make both white wine and beer.

The meat was almost processed, and Zhuge Tian began to show off his cooking skills.

It didn’t take long to prepare dishes such as pickled pepper pig’s blood, braised pig’s trotters, stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried liver and kidneys, twice-cooked pork, and sweet and sour spare ribs.

Gan Ning was swallowing his saliva wildly. He never thought that pork could be made into so many delicious foods.

"Let's raise some pigs ourselves!" Liao Hua has already started thinking about the future.

"That's fine. Buy some pigs and sheep and raise them. Then castrate the pigs. When they grow up, they won't smell so fishy and will taste better."

Zhuge Tian said, "Then tomorrow you should go to Xiangyang and ask the pig and sheep vendors to buy some small ones. The villagers can build a pigpen and a sheeppen first."

"Leave it to me!" Liao Hua patted his chest.

The next day, Zhuge Tian and the others did not follow them to Xiangyang, but only asked Liao Hua to take the men there.

Of course, I didn’t forget to prepare a small box for the Pang family and the Kuai family.

When I came back, I bought another pig and two sheep.

Now that there is income, Zhuge Tian thinks it is better to let everyone eat better.

Liao Hua also said that next time he went, the other party would bring a lot of piglets and lambs.

Ice cream quickly became the most popular dessert in Xiangyang.

At the beginning, Zhuge Tian thought that everyone was just looking for something new, but after a while, fewer people would buy it.

Unexpectedly, the 100 sticks he sent to Xiangyang every day were not enough at all.

Three days later, servants blocked the city gate and said they wanted to buy everything.

There were also a few families that didn't have a very good relationship, and their servants had a fight at the city gate just to grab popsicles.

Zhuge Tian thought about it and decided not to go to the store to sell it.

Just tell them directly that if they want something, they can come to the entrance of Wolong Village to buy it, and prepare their own boxes and insulated animal skins.

Anyway, if these wealthy families want to eat, they have plenty of servants to run errands for them.

It is better to sell them at home than to go to Xiangyang. They just need to keep making them.

It doesn’t matter if you make too much and can’t finish it, you can just share it with everyone.
