As soon as they finished speaking, a neighbor knocked on the door and asked to buy their pork.
However, Wang Ada declined. He planned to keep all the remaining meat to nourish himself and his wife.
They had never eaten so much meat in their lives.
Moreover, the mine pays double wages during the ten-day New Year holiday, and Wang Ada plans to earn more during these ten days.
The company rated him as excellent and awarded him ten taels of silver. He couldn't let the company's money go to waste.
During these ten days of the New Year holiday, he must help the company keep an eye on the mine!
After seeing off the disappointed neighbors, Wang Ada started to deal with the pork.
On the way back, they bought a lot of salt just to pickle bacon and sausages.
The couple worked together, one to marinate the meat, the other to cut and season the meat, and stuff the sausages. Although it was tiring, they were both very happy.
After the stuffed sausages were hung on bamboo poles to dry, the two found a stool to sit down and smiled foolishly at their freshly baked sausages.
For the first time they had so much meat that it lasted them a long time.
so good.
……
At the same time, a palace banquet was being held in the palace.
But today's palace banquet is a little different.
The palace banquet prepared by Emperor Taihe was hot pot.
So a small hot pot was placed in front of each official, along with portions of cut ingredients.
Emperor Taihe also specifically instructed his ministers not to waste food and that they must eat up all the food that was scalded, otherwise they would be fined and the money would be used to help the poor.
Therefore, the ministers could only calculate their own food intake and eat only a little bit each time.
They are not afraid of being fined, but they are afraid of being embarrassed, and even more afraid of ruining their reputation because of such a small matter.
However, I have to say that the hot pot at the palace banquet is much more delicious than the cold imperial meals of previous years.
Although the imperial chefs’ cooking skills are excellent, no matter how delicious the hot dishes are, they will become inedible once they cool down.
Unlike this hot pot, it is fresh and hot, making people feel refreshed after eating it.
The civil servants were relatively restrained and ate slowly and leisurely.
The military generals, however, just relaxed and ate with great ease.
When the food is hot, he will quietly loosen his belt.
Situ Jing, as the son-in-law of the emperor, and Jiang Chi, as the younger brother of Concubine Jiang, also attended the palace banquet.
However, their styles are completely different.
Situ was eating with great joy, as if he was one of those people in later generations who must eat their fill at a buffet.
Jiang Chi ate very politely, even worse than his younger brother Jiang Cheng who was sitting next to him.
Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable watching him eat so politely, so he leaned over to his ear and asked quietly, "Brother, why are you eating so slowly? Is it not to your liking?"
Jiang Chi was a little reserved: "This is a palace banquet after all..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "What's wrong with the palace banquet? Look at that stingy Situ Jing, he doesn't even feel ashamed, what are you afraid of?
Don't worry, no one will pay attention to you today with him here, and you definitely don't eat as much as he does anyway."
Jiang Chi silently glanced at Situ Jing's rapidly waving chopsticks, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense: "..."
Situ, who was picking up the meat slices, noticed someone was looking at him and immediately glared at Jiang Chi unhappily: "What are you looking at? Eat your own!"
Jiang Chi had no choice but to lower his head and eat the food silently, but his movements of picking up the food were obviously much faster.
On the throne, Emperor Taihe looked at Situ Jing, then at Jiang Chi and Jiang Cheng, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: Have these people been hungry for several lifetimes? Can you be more reserved!
It's a pity that Situ couldn't hold back at all. Whenever he thought about the glass factory shares his son gave away, he felt like he had suffered a huge loss.
So you must eat more at the palace banquet to make up for what you lost!
Anyway, any money earned is good!
Situ swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth fiercely, his eyes seemed to be flashing with murderous intent.
At the same time, at Xie's house.
Xie Ying sighed a little depressedly as she looked at her silly brother who had eaten and drunk his fill and was already playing by himself.
As a county lady, she is actually qualified to attend the palace banquet.
