The early years of the dispute over [Hu Si] was basically gone without a trace with Guo's political purge.

Now no one says that the wine shop is Hu Si.

People no longer obsessed with the [upper] life of each person, one table, one meal, and began to accept this pattern of sitting on a table and eating.

How to eat is really not unfamiliar to the officials, and Xinpi doesn't need to explain to Manur himself, otherwise the meaning of Wei Yong following him will be gone.

That doesn't count.

In addition to these dishes, there is also a whole piece of roast pork placed on the iron plate by one person, which makes a sizzling sound when served.

It is not eaten with chopsticks, but with a knife and a fork like a miniature farm tool. Cut the meat and eat it with a fork. This way of eating Manur is unheard of.

Wei Yong said this was beef. Manur cut a piece into Wei Yong's way and put it in his mouth. Once he chewed it, he could instantly feel the excellent taste experience brought by the tender beef.

"This way of eating came from the palace. It is said that this is the method of eating meat created by His Majesty the Emperor during the march and war. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor likes to eat meat like this very much, and now he often eats it. Later, this way of eating came from the palace, and everyone learned it."

While Wei Yong ate, he didn't forget to explain the origin of these dishes to Manur.

There are always many people who have connections with that emperor.

He felt that the food culture of the Wei Empire was too rich, and each one was delicious, no worse than the Roman court dishes.

But the only thing that surprised him was that more than a dozen dishes were served, and there was a wide variety of them, but I didn’t see a single dish of raw food, all of which were cooked food.

Manur felt confused.

This has a really big relationship with Guo Peng.

Guo Peng has promoted cooked food nationwide and rejected raw food for many years.

With the popularity of iron pots and coal, the rules of cooked food have gradually become popular. Even in coastal areas, fewer and fewer people eat raw food.

The tradition of raw food is mainly related to the objective factors such as the lack of cooking tools and fuel in ancient times.

Iron pots began to become popular in the Song Dynasty, and cooking was also launched on a large scale in the Song Dynasty. Cheap fuels such as coal entered the homes of ordinary people at about the same period and began to truly popularize them among ordinary people.

If the major cuisines in China today lack the key cooking tools such as iron pots, it would be difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.

Before this, people had very limited cooking techniques without iron pots and lack of fuel, even the royal family.

Without an iron pot, people's cooking methods are limited, and when the fuel is expensive and not popular, there is no way to process food for a long time. In order to save money, raw food is a good choice.

Therefore, the raw food tradition in the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood has not been abandoned, but has been passed down.

This is true all over the world, and some traditional customs have been passed down to the modern times.

By the Sui and Tang Dynasties before the Song Dynasty, the concept of raw food and dishes happened to reach a peak.

Fish sashimi, a dish that appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, developed to a peak in the Tang Dynasty and became a top-notch dish that everyone likes to eat. Sashimi dishes were varied and popular all over the country.

It happened that the Japanese envoy sent the Tang Dynasty also showed a peak of studying in China during this period. Sashimi was spread to Japan with the envoy sent the Tang Dynasty, and was inherited by Japan and continued to this day.

But eating this way is undoubtedly dangerous, no matter whether it is freshwater or seawater fish.

The so-called concept of pursuing food flavor and freshness was initially born because of lack of fuel and inconvenient cooking without pots. No one knows.

However, Mr. Guo believed that this was a bad tradition based on his arbitrary and arrogant attitude. While promoting iron pots and coal, he forced the promotion of cooked food orders in many areas with strong raw food traditions, and raw food is not allowed.

Especially in coastal areas, rivers and lakes, the fishermen and villages living around them are strictly required not to eat raw fish and meat, and must be cooked. Those who find raw food will be severely punished.

This also caused resistance in some places, gatherings and causing trouble, etc.

However, Mr. Guo did not give in and demanded that local officials implement it. While transporting more cheap coal to be sold locally, he ordered that even if harsh measures were taken, local people would not be allowed to eat fish and meat.

After many severe blows and even indictments, he was imprisoned and arrested thousands of stings and sentenced to prison, demonstrating the toughness of the court. The fierce resistance in some places was suppressed and he began to honestly implement the cooked food order.

By now, raw food has been completely eliminated at the official level, and raw food among the people has basically disappeared in the mainstream catering field.

Guo Peng's external propaganda combines plague and raw food to promote it, and uses plague to intimidate people and force them to stop eating raw meat.

No matter what means are used, as long as this tradition can be abolished, or raw food and plague are linked together, Guo feels that he has made great contributions.

To this end, Mr. Guo felt that it was necessary to speed up the development and release of coal, and always let cheap fuels spread across the country, fundamentally relieve people's worries and make them get used to the state where cheap fuels can be used.

There are some reasons that parasites are difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, let alone viruses.

As an emperor, I occasionally have to use the emperor's absolute power and become a dictator, otherwise Mr. Guo would feel that he doesn't look like an emperor.

Manur was even more surprised to learn that His Majesty the Emperor of Wei linked eating raw meat with plague, so that he banned hunger strikes on raw meat nationwide, and even punished those who ate raw meat.

There are also many such things in Rome. In many areas, the cooking custom is to eat raw and cook as little as possible. I think it tastes fresher and more delicious, so I wish I could just lie on the animal's corpse and bite it.

Wei Yong was not sure about the specific reason, so he could only ask Xinpi and convey what Xinpi said to Manur.

"Why are there no raw food? This matter is a long story."

Xinpi is quite impressed by this matter.

Because the group of people who liked to eat fish sashimi the most included the current ruling class.

Most poor people have no money to eat fish except fishermen who are forced to eat raw fish.

At the order of Guo Peng, people were not allowed to eat raw food such as fish sashimi across the country. Many officials were confused and asked the emperor what the reason was.

The emperor summoned important officials to meet and told them the reasons for doing so.

The reason is that a small plague broke out in a certain place in Yuzhou during the seventh year of Yande.

At the beginning of the outbreak, the plague was suppressed by local grassroots officials who had been strictly trained and ruthlessly used isolation to suppress it, and then quickly cleared the homes in the surrounding areas and immediately reported the matter layer by layer.

Local officials were afraid of the plague and dared not hide it, so they reported it quickly.

Luoyang soon learned about this matter, and Guo Peng attached great importance to it and ordered the Grand Medical Center and the Imperial Hospital to form a joint investigation team to go to the local area to investigate the reasons.

Of course, the reason was not investigated, and the person had no time to save him.

All thirteen patients died of illness and jointly supervised the cremation of the bodies by the investigation team. The plague ended and there was no danger.

The joint investigation team returned to Luoyang to report to Guo Peng and submitted a local investigation report.

The report was nothing special, but Guo Peng noticed that a patient in the investigation report said that they had violated the imperial ban in the early years of Yande because they were greedy and went up the mountain to fight hares and pheasants in groups, and then roasted them to eat them.

Of course, because of poor barbecue technology, some places are baked and some places still have bloodshot. They don’t bother to eat the baked raw.

After learning about it, Guo Peng was very angry and felt that these two things must be related.

Moreover, these people violated the ban issued by the court several years ago that it was not allowed to go up the mountain to hunt wild game privately, and regarded the ban on the court as nothing, so he decided to take it seriously.

Not only should the rules and regulations for outdoor hunting be strictly stipulated nationwide, but raw meat consumption should also be completely prohibited.

"After these two orders were fully promulgated, some places did make some troubles, but His Majesty did not compromise and even dispatched troops to suppress the matter. If the order was implemented to the end, we officials naturally had to take the lead and could no longer eat raw food."

Xinpi smiled bitterly: "But there is no clear statement about this matter from beginning to end. We don't know if it is a plague caused by raw food, but Your Majesty's strict orders, we can only follow it and not disobey it."

What Xinpi said was passed on to Manur by Wei Yong, and Manur was also surprised after hearing this.

"Will there be a plague breakout after the order is issued?"

Wei Yong translated Manur’s questions.

Xinpi frowned and said slowly, "It's true that seven years ago, in the Central Plains states, Jiangnan, and Hebei, similar reports were reported to the court from time to time.

I can hear news of plagues occurring in certain places several times every year, but after Yande issued a ban on raw food in the seventh year, I really have known three times that there have been suspected plague outbreaks in the past three years."

Manur was even more surprised.

“Is this the result of the raw food ban?”

Xinpi was silent for a while and shook his head.

"I don't know, the doctors from the Grand Medical Center and the Imperial Hospital do not know why, and His Majesty has never publicly told this."

Manur nodded, indicating that he understood.

But whether it should be said or not, although Xinpi had many opinions on Guo Peng's ban on raw food, in the past, before his rural system was established, Xinpi did not know that the plague seemed to have been wandering around him and never left.

From the first year of Yande to the seventh year of Yande, every year, every region can report two, three, three, and four suspected plague outbreaks.

Some are common fever symptoms and patients can be cured, but they are just false alarms. Some really feel that it is a plague. The medication is ineffective, and all infected people die of illness.

Apart from isolation, they have no other way of dealing with it, and ordinary medication is useless.

Later, Xinpi learned that such things did not happen in the past, but in the past, the traffic was difficult and the grassroots government was weak, and the message transmission speed was much slower than now.

They had no idea that the plague happened in some place where traffic was behind.

The plague occurred, was contagious, and then everyone died, and the plague ended on its own.

From the beginning to the end, it is unknown.

There are not many such things happening, but they have no way to know, cannot count, record, and cannot be passed on to future generations.

It's not that it didn't happen, it's just that it didn't record.

What can be recorded must be on a certain scale, which is enough to attract widespread attention and fear, and at this scale, the situation is almost uncontrollable.

People die in groups, and some families die in a row, and none of them survive.

It was entirely due to the backward transportation at that time and the population almost did not move to each other, so the plague could always be controlled in a certain area and would not spread across the country.

Once a situation of forced movement of people in chaos occurs, it will lead to a nationwide plague.

Still hopeless.

I can only wait until all the damn dies slowly, and the plague will be over.

Now, Guo Peng has vigorously rectified transportation and vigorously strengthened the central government's control over grassroots levels. Officials have also received training in epidemic prevention and control. Once suspected cases are found, they will be isolated immediately and then reported immediately.

So the Luoyang bosses felt that there was a plague breaking out every day and there was a danger of extinction every day.

Although Xinpi didn't believe it, such things have gradually decreased since the seven-year raw food ban was issued and forced to be implemented.
