Chapter 2: Secrets in the Kitchen Zongzi inlaid with fatty candied fruit is naturally a delicacy that many people like, even Tie Xinyuan himself likes to eat some with some icing sugar.
After a Dragon Boat Festival, the people of the Western Regions did not remember Qu Yuan, but firmly remembered the zongzi, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and the people of the Western Regions bought glutinous rice and candied fruit to make zongzi for their families to satisfy their hunger.
Qingxiang City and even Hami City to the remote Tianshan City are full of vendors selling zongzi.
If a woman wants to tie a man, she has to tie his stomach, and Tie Xinyuan feels that in the matter of national integration, he is like that weak woman.
Since ancient times, there are many white bones under the love network, and you might as well use them more.
Women from the Western Regions who can make Hu cakes and mutton will be despised in Qingxiang City, and women from the Western Regions who can make good soup cakes will be praised by everyone.
There is also a chance to participate in the soup cake competition held by Qige Soup Cake Shop, and earn a few silver coins by relying on your own skills.
This competition made many Song people and Han people's skillful ladies hate their teeth itching, and they saw those filthy Hu women making bowls of porridge-like Hu cakes that could be mixed with a silver coin, and beat their chests and feet.
Under the banner of developing soup cakes in the face of the Hu people, the Qige soup cake shop isolated all the Han people and Song women who eat soup cakes every day from the arena.
I don't know how the rich people in Hami interpret the practice of the Seven Brother Soup Cake Shop, anyway, after the first soup cake competition of the Seven Brother Soup Cake Shop came to an end, there were countless food competitions on the market, whether it was steamed buns, dumplings, wontons, rice, porridge all appeared in the same competition.
None of the items to be tested in these competitions were the original food of the Hu people.
This also makes sense, after all, there is too little food created by the Hu people after all, except for mutton, there are only Hu cakes left, or a little sour dairy products.
Tie Xinyuan felt that it should be a very simple matter to destroy the original food of the Hu people, as long as the government did a little tricking, there would be no customers in the Hu people restaurants in Hami Kingdom, as long as this situation persisted for a year or two, even the Hu people themselves would arrange their meals according to the ingredients on the market, and finally forget about those crude Western Regions food.
Black pottery has always been the main cooking tool of the people of the Western Regions, and the history of the people of the Western Regions using pottery to make meals can be traced back to prehistory.
Now, the black pottery workshop has received a large number of orders from the military to start firing porcelain jars, and the workshop will no longer fire black pottery if it wants to be upgraded.
Instead, there is an iron pot, from large to small, not to mention the beautiful style, the main thing is that the iron pot of Hami is sent, one for each family......
It is also unknown since when pork became the most expensive meat in Hami......
The Song people, the housewives of the Han people, put a piece of pork in the basket, and they can boast to their Hu neighbors for a long time.
In the end, it has become a trend for noble families to eat pork, and poor people with no money to eat mutton.
After this trend, the most immediate reaction was the addition of countless pork stalls in the market......
The appearance of pork in the Hami market is nothing short of a disaster.
There are those who rejoice, there are those who curse, there are those who tear and roar, no matter what, the pork that is hung on the iron hook is still snatched up by the Song people and Han people who like to eat pork, and of course, there are not a few other ethnic groups who buy pork.
Especially after the Qige soup cake shop in Qingxiang City launched twenty-six pork dishes in one go, it pushed this madness to the extreme.
In the past, the Qige soup cake shop also had pork dishes, but it was implemented in Xiao Er's mouth and menu, and those who liked it could naturally chew it with confidence, and those who didn't like it naturally avoided it thousands of miles away.
The people of the Western Regions don't care, they even eat mice when they are hungry, let alone such a big piece of meat, the Khitans, the Tangut people, and the Tubo people naturally don't care, the only reason why they don't like to eat pork is that they haven't eaten it before, and they don't know how delicious this kind of meat full of oil and water is.
The Uighurs didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't have it in the Western Regions, so they didn't eat it, and since it was food, it could be sold in the market.
The real outbreak was the merchants from Dashi and Persia......
It's just that the Harbin fan officially ignores these people, he doesn't like it, so he can't eat it.
Since pork can be sold in piles like mountains in Tokyo markets, there shouldn't be any problems in Shoka City.
Those big cannibals and Persians habitually thought that Qingxiang City was a city in the Western Regions, and since it was a city in the Western Regions, there should be no such thing.
The big cannibal Rahul doesn't care, he has long been used to eating soup cakes from the Seven Brother Soup Cake Shop, and he likes this kind of food very much.
Eating a bowl of shredded pork early in the morning is a great treat for him, and he has lived in the city for more than two years and has long been accustomed to the food.
Rahul also believed in the gods, who he saw as high and had nothing to do with what he ate.
Everyone just eats quietly, as long as you don't tell the gods, there shouldn't be any problems.
It was a first-hand experience, and he had eaten pork for more than two years in a row, and there was nothing wrong with it except that his body had become fatter......
Tie Yi and Tie Er like to eat pork very much, because of physical reasons, their teeth are not very good, a pot of fat and glutinous braised pork, it is indeed easier to digest than raw mutton.
In this way, Tie Xinyuan happily saw that the first batch of fat pigs raised by the Han people under the snow mountain were consumed by the people in Qingxiang City.
Wang Anshi is a cold-eyed bystander, he naturally sees clearly what Tie Xinyuan is going to do, he just doesn't understand why Tie Xinyuan didn't start from the big killer of ethnic integration of intermarriage, but chose the Hu people's kitchen to poison him.
It doesn't make sense.
"It doesn't make sense!"
Tie Xinyuan sighed and threw down the pig bones that he had eaten cleanly, and said to Yu Chiwen.
"The big cannibals who made trouble were arrested and beaten with a board and then stopped, and now there is no one in the pork shop to make trouble.
The subordinates thought that the eating habits did not need to be guided so deliberately......"
"You don't think it's useful?
Or do you think I should focus on the upcoming Khitans, and not on the country?

” Seeing that Wei Chiwen didn't answer with a straight face, Tie Xinyuan laughed dryly and continued: "The people take food as the sky!
Think about this sentence carefully, and then come and tell me what you think, and I make a final comment. ” "If the people ask why they do it, how do we answer?"
Tie Xinyuan thought for a moment and said, "Just tell them that this is a process that people must go through from poverty to wealth."
A group of Hami people are poor, as long as they can eat enough, they are blessed by God, and at this time we have no choice of food.
Now that we are rich, the rich should have food worthy of his wealth, and now we like to eat meat, and when we get tired of eating meat one day, we start eating vegetables and fruits.
Of course, this is an expectation, and now, with our personal wealth surpassing that of the Song Kingdom, there is no reason not to eat better food. ” Wei Chiwen smashed his mouth and said: "The reason is very strong, but it can't convince everyone." ” Tie Xinyuan raised his head and looked at Wei Chi Wen and said: "Then tell the Hami people the fact that their average life expectancy is only twenty-one years old, and tell them that the reason why there is such a life disaster, in addition to the war, is caused by diseases caused by the lack of fine food." ” "It's still a deception......"
Before Wei Chiwen's words fell, he was interrupted by Tie Xinyuan forcefully: "This is a fact, you only need to look at the documents sorted out by the Household Registration Department, and you will find that the average age of our population in Hami today is only twenty-six years old!"
Push forward five years, their lifespan is only twenty-one years, or even less, we have sheltered all of them, so that their lives can be extended, and if the war continues, their lifespan will always be only twenty-one!
Do you understand?
If you understand, you will relay my words to Wang Anshi, and he will ask to see me again. ” Wei Chiwen asked cautiously, "Why are you always reluctant to see Wang Anshi?"
He's at peace now. ” Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "It is not good for us to see Wang Anshi early, on the contrary, as long as the two of us meet, it will be time for Hami and Da Song to formally negotiate."
Wang Anshi didn't know enough about our Hami, he didn't understand it enough, and he didn't understand the real strength of our Hami country.
We will be in a disadvantageous position to negotiate with such Wang Anshi, and only after Wang Anshi thoroughly understands Hami and has an objective view of Hami can our negotiations proceed on an equal footing.
It's good for everyone. ” Wei Chiwen is a microphone for the exchange between Tie Xinyuan and Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi acquiesces to this.
He didn't narrowly think that Tie Xinyuan looked down on him if he didn't see him, on the contrary, he thought that this was Tie Xinyuan's respect for him, and he could freely go in and out of any place in Hami, read any files, meet anyone, and attend any meeting, which completely showed that Tie Xinyuan was opening his mind and letting him take a good look at a Hami who had nothing to hide.
If the two of them don't see each other, it's time to see each other.
Last time, Tie Xinyuan was going to see him after seeing Baima and Begging Yan, but he was finally rejected by Wang Anshi, since he had already received the answer, it was okay not to see him.
Tie Xinyuan deprived Chief Hu of his rule over his people by brutal means, and instead sent those officials who had migrated from the Great Song Dynasty to manage them, so that those under Chief Hu would change from slaves to free people.
The freed slaves of the Hu chiefs were born with a sense of reverence for the king of Hami, which is also the reason why although the country of Hami was a country formed by different races, there was no large-scale civil uprising.
At the same time, Wang Anshi also saw another way to suppress the alien race from Huo Xian's top-secret documents, even he trembled with fear after reading it - that is, the extremely cruel reduction and extermination of households.
The reason why Wang Anshi was puzzled was because of this consideration, since the Hami Kingdom already had two means, one light and one heavy, why did he still poison the Hu people's kitchen, he couldn't figure it out.
