Chapter Eighty-Eight: Blood-boiling

Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Chengzi got up, the innkeeper sent two copies to the room early.

Jiang Chengzi asked suspiciously, "Didn't I call early?"

The shopkeeper pointed to a bowl of tender tofu brains sprinkled with chopped green onions and soy sauce, a stewed chicken thigh, and a bowl of millet porridge and said, "This is the breakfast that a young man Zhang ordered for you." This is a Geumseong specialty, and if you need a special dipping sauce, we can also provide wood ginger or dogwood juice. ”

"Oh, what about this one?" Jiang Chengzi pointed to another bowl of white rice porridge, with tender pickled bamboo shoot strips, and a plate of thin cicada wing fish meat next to it was neatly arranged, and a small plate of black dipping sauce was placed aside.

"This was ordered by another masked man for the girl. What a blessing, girl. The shopkeeper replied while looking at her with a very ambiguous expression.

Jiang Chengzi knew that the shopkeeper had misunderstood, so he said, "Those two are my friends." ”

"I understand. "The shopkeeper has a 'I've seen a lot of this kind of thing' tone.

Jiang Chengzi did not argue, or pretentiously asked people to withdraw. People who have experienced jungle survival training and have hallucinated while hungry will never waste a grain of food. And because of the lack of materials, the ancients would not have a large portion of their meals. Small bowls and small plates, probably for fear of waste.

Jiang Chengzi visually inspected the two breakfasts and thought that he should be able to finish them, so he waved his hand to the shopkeeper and said, "You go out." ”

"Well, if the girl has anything to do, just tell me. "The shopkeeper is a fine person, and when she saw two extraordinary-looking sons ordering breakfast for her, she realized that she was also extraordinary. If you do something for her, you will definitely get a lot of oil and water.

Jiang Chengzi didn't care, only nodded to him and thanked him. After that, a person was swept away and ate all the two breakfasts. Not to mention, even in the early Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, I still felt that I was more suitable for Sichuan cuisine.

Although there is no chili pepper, the spicy taste of dogwood mixed with wood ginger, soy sauce, Sichuan pepper oil, etc., is even more tactful and layered than that of chili pepper. Served with tender tofu brain. The sashimi, which is as thin as a cicada's wing, is delicious.

She ate two servings of breakfast, which can be regarded as coming to the early Tang Dynasty. The most filling meal you eat. The only regret is that the salt taste is too light, which means that there is almost no saltiness, and the soy sauce alone tastes very different from the soy sauce of later generations, and there is basically no saltiness. Closer to the original soybean oil flavor.

Jiang Chengzi knew that this was because in ancient times. Salt is a rarity. Although it is not easy to obtain salt raw materials, there have always been wars since ancient times, and there are very few peaceful days, and the imperial court's jurisdiction over salt raw materials is insufficient, coupled with the backward purification process. The best salt is precious. Therefore, even the crude salt is uniformly blended by the state, which is so expensive that ordinary people are prohibitive.

Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, after the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The vitality of the world is greatly damaged. Just after the founding of the country, many places have not been swept away. Although the acquisition and production of salt are also on the agenda, it is still in a semi-stagnant state. And the engineering masters who made salt before were killed and injured nowhere to be found, so that in the early Tang Dynasty, the lack of salt was more serious than that of the previous dynasties.

Of course, in the first year of Zhenguan, the Yantian area of the northwest plateau was controlled by the ancient Qiang people. The coastal area is also controlled by bandits, and the sea salt and salt drying methods have not been widely promoted.

Therefore, the current imperial court is still relatively short of salt, and the supply of the front-line army is already inferior salt, let alone to the people. Therefore, in the salt-producing Shuzhou, it is not surprising that the dishes are light and tasteless.

In fact, it is relatively simple to obtain the raw materials and make salt, as for obtaining purer salt, for an engineering woman who loves history, this is a trivial matter.

Then, perhaps by chance, in the future, in the matter of making purer salt, we can toss it and seek a good future for Yang's six rooms.

Of course, she will do a lot more, not only to make purer salt, but also to make tea, train the army, and even improve smelting technology, design housing, and maybe even cultivate high-quality crops.

Jiang Chengzi's thoughts flew, and there was a faint impulse in his heart, like the impulse of a chick yearning for the blue sky. She suddenly wanted to pick up her pen and see what beautiful pictures could be painted in this era.

Of course, in addition to her abilities and thousands of years of Chinese cultural immersion, she also has the excellent qualities cultivated by elite education under the equality of men and women in modern society.

She is the only woman in the Jiang family in this generation, and she is also recognized as having the highest IQ (although her EQ is a little lower and can be ignored). She is not only excellent in her studies, but also knowledgeable. She is a famous talented woman in a famous family and the flower of the army.

is also because of her excellence, which discourages many children of wealthy families. His cousin said with a very damaged mouth: "Ah Zi, do you know why the third child of the Xu family didn't marry you even if he died? It's not that you are not good-looking, it's that when I look at you, I feel a lot of pressure and feel that I am worthless." Women, too strong are destined to marry. ”

"It's obvious that you men are useless, and you blame women for being too strong. She retorted, and when she bowed her head, she also knew that she was too strong over the years, and she wanted to do everything better than others. Putting in a hundred times the effort, making people look up to them, also makes many men feel inferior.

When she saw her friends around her getting married and having children, she was extremely happy. When he was alone, he also complained: "Grandma, what is the use of learning so much and becoming so good?"

Grandma knows her best, and she laughs: "Marriage is destined to turn a thousand times, and I can't be in a hurry." ”

She was ashamed and hurriedly covered it up: "I'm not talking about marriage." ”

"I know. You're talking about knowledge. However, Grandma wants to tell you: knowledge is useful at all times. What may seem useless at this time is useful at a certain moment, and it will be useful someday. Grandma advised her to do so, and then got up and went to cook.

Knowledge is useful anytime and anywhere. It may seem useless at this time, but it will be useful at some point and one day!

At this moment more than a thousand years ago, Jiang Chengzi remembered his grandmother's words, but he suddenly chewed the taste in his heart. It was also at this time that she suddenly felt that her grandfather's strictness to herself in the past was a great wealth.

Standing on the shoulders of countless predecessors, supplemented by skills, carrying sweet potatoes and potatoes, only the surroundings are relatively peaceful. Then, he can earn a bright future, and he can even bring more different things to this era, or he can earn some bargaining chips for his idol, maybe he can change his tragic fate.
