"What are you doing when you get up and kneel? I didn't trouble you, on the contrary, I will reward you......!" Xiao Lotian yelled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, Xiao Letian, as a leader, has to prepare some rewards at any time, but these money are not for his civil and military officials and soldiers, and there is a very perfect mechanism for recording military exploits in the Chinese clan, and everyone's rewards are distributed according to the law.

Within the Chinese people, especially in the military and political system, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's private rewards with the meaning of master and slave were strictly prohibited, especially the Chinese army did not have the practice of rewarding all kinds of silver, even if it was a decisive charge with less fighting and more to the death, even if it was a vicious battle that knew that the whole army would be annihilated, it did not rely on on-the-spot money to motivate.

All the rewards are after the war, and they will only be released after a detailed and systematic analysis, no one will give you a penny, and they will not give you any more, everything is accurate and fair.

But after all, the Chinese lived at the end of the nineteenth century, and the outside world of the Chinese was still old and traditional, and when dealing with the Manchus and other foreign races, this kind of silver reward system was necessary.

Liu Dadao saved Zaichun's life, and he also wanted to do the Chinese a big favor, so it is not okay not to reward such a meritorious service. But after all, Liu Dadao was a Qing Dynasty man with braids, and he was not a citizen of the Chinese nationality, so the reward mechanism for meritorious deeds within the Chinese nationality could not be used on him.

In this case, Xiao Lotian can only start the most traditional cash reward mechanism.

At the sound of an order, their own guard soldiers took out a long roll of silver coins from the house, which was a hundred brand-new dragon pattern silver coins, tightly wrapped into a roll with red paper, which was the most common way for Chinese merchants to store silver coins.

A hundred silver coins is the salary of a skilled blue-collar worker for about ten months, which is not too much, and it is not too much, and it is definitely a little less to reward the merit of saving the driver, but it is definitely too much to reward this bowl of hoof flower soup.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the reward...... Thank you Prime Minister for the reward!, kowtow to the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Chitose......"

Xiao Lotian smiled and patted Liu Dadao, who was kowtowing, after all, he was a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't forget the truth that Zaichun was the master.

The guard soldiers held the remaining hoof flower soup and led Liu Dadao to find Emperor Tongzhi, and before leaving, Liu Dadao tentatively asked the prime minister why he rewarded him.

Liu Dadao knew that it would definitely not be because of the rescue of the driver, and the merit of saving the driver was naturally rewarded by the Manchu royal family, and a hundred silver coins were not equal to such a merit, so the reward could only be related to this bowl of hoof flower soup, but such a bowl of secret hoof flower soup scratched the itch of the prime minister? How could it be rewarded!

In the end, Xiao Lotian didn't give him a clear answer, just this bowl of soup tasted delicious.

Watching Liu Dadao go away, Xiao Letian smiled secretly in his heart: "This secret is my financial plan, not only that, but this is also a killer feature in social situations, isn't it equivalent to telling the Manchu Qing Dynasty......?"

"Someone, it's rumored that the Yellow Evil Doctor came to have lunch with me, I have something to find him......"

Doctor Huang was on another warship talking to his doctors about the plague in Port Suez, and he never expected the prime minister to meet him, which was something that had never happened before.

After all, Xiao Lotian has the entire Chinese militaristic dignitaries to worry about, and it is good to be able to meet these doctors' research groups once a quarter, and sometimes they can only report problems to the meta in the form of written reports.

Today, he was able to get Yuan's summons, and the Yellow Evil Doctor was suddenly surprised.

"Call me alone? Didn't you call Dr. Barker?"

"No, Yuan specially explained that he only summoned you alone, and it shouldn't be about medical research, so you don't need to bring any tools or anything like that......"

The surprised Yellow Evil Doctor followed the soldiers to the Zhiyuan by boat, and waited until he saw that the dishes on the table of the Yuan Hou had been placed.

Simple four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, the soup is half divided into hoof flower soup, and there is no drinking There is a pot of green tea on the table.

"Sit down, this road is bumpy on the sea, you doctors can be regarded as suffering, even the big soldiers have a large number of seasickness and illness, it is not easy for you to hold on until now!"

"Thank you for your concern, we can hold on, Virus Island is a day and a half away from Ryukyu, we often go back and forth, and we are used to ......"

After a few simple greetings, Xiao Lotian actually personally served a bowl of soup to Doctor Huang, and just when his moved eyes were red and swollen and ready to drink, Xiao Lotian said, "Take a sip of tea first, clear your mouth, and then taste this bowl of soup carefully...... This is the private dish of the imperial chef Liu Dadao!"

Doctor Huang hurriedly rinsed his mouth with clear tea to ensure that there was no peculiar smell at all, and then tasted this bowl of unsightly hoof flower soup.

As soon as he entered his mouth, his eyes lit up, "Xian! It's so fresh! Sure enough, the imperial chef has a secret recipe in his hand, this is the most delicious soup I've ever drunk in my life......"

"But Yuan called me, shouldn't I just taste this bowl of soup?

"Hahaha, you have made a lot of credit for your research on germology, don't be presumptuous...... But I'm calling you today, and I really have a new mission for you!"

"I know that in the process of cultivating bacteria, you are also studying chemistry, after all, the knowledge of laboratory operation can also be used in medicine......

"Bring a top-secret team, and you'll be in charge...... Help me refine the umami in this bowl of soup!"

"Huh?" the yellow evil doctor snapped, and the porcelain spoon in his hand fell on the table.

"It's not...... I'm embarrassed, how can this taste be refined? Isn't this a joke......

"Who is kidding you? Why can't the taste be refined? Where is the saltiness? Where is the sweetness? Where is the sweetness in the salt? In the sugar......

"Chili peppers have a spicy taste, aged vinegar has a sour taste, and bitter gourd has a bitter taste...... What kind of taste can not be represented? Why can't it be refined?"

"Chemistry studies the changes of this kind of micro-material, find the root substance of these flavors and purify them, this is what you should do!"

"The same goes for umami, I can extract it, I can extract it!"

Doctor Huang made a completely bitter face, "Yuan, you are really embarrassed, it is difficult for umami to be the most representative of a certain ingredient, almost all ingredients have umami in it, do you want me to study all the ingredients in the world? I can't do medicine anymore? I will kill chickens and sheep for you to be a cook all day long?"

Huang Xie Doctor is right, to use chemical experiments to purify a certain element, you must first confirm that it contains the most in those substances, and then experiment again and again.

The sea is salty, so if you want to find the source of the saltiness, go to the sea or salt wells. Chili peppers are spicy, and of course the extraction of capsaicin is found here, and the crystallization of sugar cane after drying with sweet water is of course white sugar.

But where is this umami hidden? Huang Xie Doctor thinks that Yuan is unreasonable.
