Chapter 5 Catch up with mosquito coils

"I don't know if the idiot said it, the pork that hasn't been castrated is not delicious, and the person who says this will definitely not cook" Wang Xuan looked at the pot full of braised pork on the table, and said with disdain.

In fact, Wang Xuan said that it was a bit biased, in the Tang Dynasty, where stir-fry had not yet been invented, and star anise cinnamon was only a medicinal material, and the pork that was not castrated was indeed fishy and difficult to swallow.

After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty at that time, almost all the food they ate was Ding Shi and barbecue, and the high-end ones ate some fish stew.

Barbecue is easy to understand, just like modern barbecue, but the Tang Dynasty people put not as many spices as modern ones.

As for Ding food, it is better to understand, that is, a mouthful of big ding with various ingredients to cook.

This kind of cooked food, people with a little cooking knowledge know that the choice of ingredients must be good, otherwise the taste of cooking can be imagined.

And it is precisely this kind of food culture that makes pork a cheap meat in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty.

Because such unseasoned pork, whether it is castrated or not, it must not taste good.

Pork is not like beef and mutton, as long as it is boiled and salted, it is a good meal.

Therefore, it is obvious that pork was not welcomed in the Tang Dynasty.

But this is really never a problem for Wang Xuan who came through the crossing, not to mention how noble he can make pork, but he still knows that he still knows by adding green onion and ginger wine to remove the fishiness and adding various spices to enhance the taste.

So it's normal for him to make such an emotion.

In this way, after Wang Xuan had a beautiful meal, he didn't bother to clean up, so he went to the backyard to get some wood that he demolished the house and demolished, and lit a bonfire in the yard.

Then he picked the dried leaves that were very sticky and grinded them in a large wooden basin around the campfire.

After the leaves in that large pot were almost ground, Wang Xuan took the wormwood he bought today and grinded it in the same way.

It's just that the amount of wormwood is a little smaller, and the wormwood I bought is also dried, so it's also very convenient to grind.

But it was the grinding of these two materials, and it was just a simple grinding, and it took Wang Xuan almost two hours, that is, four hours, before it reached the powder form.

Although it is boring and boring to make it like this, and it is very tiring, but the thought that after mixing them tomorrow, you can make mosquito coils and sell them for money, there is a smile on Wang Xuan's face.

After that, Wang Xuan simply cleaned up, moved everything back to the lobby, extinguished the bonfire with only coals left, and hurried to sleep while the moonlight was shining.

When he got up the next day, Wang Xuan simply heated the leftover dishes from yesterday and ate them hot.

I took advantage of the morning time to rush out the mosquito coils at noon when the sun was at its highest.

The production of mosquito coils is also very simple, that is, the very sticky leaf powder and wormwood powder are mixed with water to form a dough-like thing, and then it is kneaded into small strips by hand and placed on a wooden board to dry.

Even in order to increase the fragrance of mosquito coils, you can add powders of various spices to them.

However, the mosquito coils made by Wang Xuan are to repel mosquitoes, so he only added wormwood with mosquito repellent effect.

But because the herbs are used in the production, there is still a nice fragrance when burning.

In the next few days, Wang Xuan kept making mosquito coils at home, and when he went out here, he had already made more than a thousand mosquito coils, which had already been dried, and a whole yard had been laid out before drying.

And he went out this time, not for anything else, but to go to Fangzheng's house to sell his mosquito coils.

After all, there is such a person who can be called a snake on the ground, and he has a good sense of himself not to visit, but to sell it in a daze, that is not what a disease is.

"Uncle Liu, are you at home? Uncle Liu" Wang Xuan came to Uncle Liu's house, and when he saw the door closed, he stood outside and shouted loudly.

However, Wang Xuan shouted for a while, and found that no one answered inside, and thought that there was no one at home, so when he was about to leave first, the door of Uncle Liu's house opened, and a delicate face poked out from inside, and said to Wang Xuan timidly, "You are Brother Xuan!" My father and brother are not at home, you have something to do, can you come later! ”

"Ah, that's it, that's really embarrassing, Xiaosheng will come back later, disturb the little lady" Hearing Uncle Liu's daughter's words, Wang Xuan said to her and turned to leave.

"This man is really weird! I was staring at others just now, this will go so fast again, I really don't know what's going on" Looking at the back of Wang Xuan leaving, Uncle Liu's daughter muttered, and then closed the door and went in.

At this time, Wang Xuan, after walking out for a long time, saw that there was no one around, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

And because Wang Xuan saw Uncle Liu's daughter just now, the originally delicate little face, the red envelopes in the east and west, especially the one at the center of the eyebrows, looked like a lump of flesh.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud without being in front of her, that was really Wang Xuan's determination.

However, after Wang Xuan laughed, he turned back from time to time and looked at Uncle Liu's house.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that this Uncle Liu and his wife are not very good-looking, how to give birth to cubs that are better looking than the other, especially his daughter, not to mention the peerless beauty! But after finishing a small jasper, I just don't know what this character is," Wang Xuan muttered there.

And just when Wang Xuan was thinking about the little lady of the Liu family.

In Yong'an Fang, which is four squares away from Yongyang Fang, Uncle Liu and his family are kneeling in front of a large family.

"I said Lao Liutou, you are also a square square, can't you even take out three coherence at home? My lord said, if your family can't take out three copper coins, my lord can only send your boss to see the official, after all, because of his mistake, ruined a thousand-year-old rosewood of my lord, and you want your family to pay three times, it is already for the sake of you Yongyang Fangfangzheng, otherwise don't say three times, even ten times will not work, now you don't kneel, or hurry up to raise money! My lord will give you three days" After speaking, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion didn't care about kneeling on the ground and returned to the Chen Mansion.

Looking at the closed door, Liu couldn't help crying, "Old man, what can I do!" Let's get so much money! ”

"Cry, cry, cry, you know crying, the boss's idiot, tell him not to be greedy for a cup, he just doesn't listen, now the master's materials are wasted, then let him die" Uncle Liu looked at his crying wife, and yelled at her irritably.

Then he stood up and walked away without looking back, but although he said this, his footsteps and the worry in his eyes still betrayed him.

Yes, there are a few fathers in the world who will watch their children die, in fact, he has already made up his mind in his heart, even if he sells the house, he can't let the old man of the Chen family send his eldest son to the official.
