These four dishes are not very surprising in later generations, but at this time, they are the only ones of scorpion.

After Fan Yu was busy, he asked Chen Fang to serve the food.

Zhan Zhao's saliva that he had been waiting for a long time was drying up, and when he saw Chen Fang serving the food, his mouth couldn't help but become moist again.

As before, the stepmother Granny Li just ate a small bowl of rice, and let Chen Yuan help her to the back, and the table was left for Fan Yu and Zhanzhao to talk.

It's a pity that Zhanzhao didn't have the heart to speak, but stared at the dishes on the plate, eating a large piece.

What made Zhanzhao the happiest was the sweet and sour carp.

"Brother Fan, this fish tastes sweet and sour. However, how did you get it, the head and tail of this fish are cocked, and it looks weird and beautiful. Granny Li didn't return it, Zhanzhao threw off her cheeks to eat, and didn't forget to praise it.

"This is sweet and sour fish, first set this type with oil, and then fry a sweet and sour sauce and pour it." Fan Yu said with a smile: "Carp, the golden carp jumps over the dragon gate, and you can step into the green clouds and take a good color mouth." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad, it tastes good, and this color is also quite good." This chicken soup is also very fragrant, and I have never tasted it before. The meat is slippery and the soup is fresh, and you can't stop drinking it. ”

Fan Yu pointed to the celery fried bacon and said: "Brother Zhan, try this dish again, the bacon is chewy and the celery is refreshing, although it looks simple, every time you chew it, it is a layer of taste." From strong to light, the aftertaste is endless. ”

"Oops." Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and smiled: "Little Brother Fan, how long do you have such a brain, you can figure out these many delicacies, if you are a cook, I am afraid that you will already become a famous chef." ”

Of course, Fan Yu would not tell him that he was from a later generation, and these dishes have been accumulated for thousands of years to form so many changes.

"Brother Zhan, I just like to have a stomach, so naturally I pay more attention to these things. Where can I compare to you, big brother, who is in charge of the injustices in the world. Fan Yu shook his head and said, "There is also this dish of fried meat with garlic sprouts, which is also very delicious." The garlic sprouts are fragrant, and the meat slices are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so you can't let them go. ”

Zhanzhao ate happily and couldn't help laughing, "I've been to countless restaurants, even if I've been to Fanlou in Bianjing, but none of them are as happy and comfortable as eating here with you." Otherwise, Brother Fan, you will open a restaurant in the future, and it will definitely be a good business. As long as I'm here, how about cheering you on every day? ”

Fan Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhan, my livelihood as a pot maker is more profitable than opening a restaurant." The restaurant has to be stared at every day, but the pot is not used. And the money I make is not a lot at all. ”

"You're ...... Wok, is there so much money? This dish, if it is in Bianjing, will cost at least twenty or thirty yuan, and how many copper coins does the wok cost to compare. In the course of a day, several pots have to be made. Zhan Zhao just shook his head in disbelief.

"Brother Zhan, don't worry, I've calculated the account." Fan Yu smiled slightly, "My pot making is different from other places, I can make fifty or sixty pots a day." In addition to the cost of labor and carbon, iron and iron, you can make two dollars in a day. This is still a pot that has just been made, and the blacksmith is not yet familiar with it. If it takes some time, I am afraid that it will be easy to make four or five times a day. If this pot factory is expanded, then no one in the Great Song Dynasty will be able to make pots except me. ”

Zhanzhao just didn't believe it and thought Fan Yu was bragging.

"You're still young, don't talk about it." Zhan Zhao persuaded bitterly: "Although I know that Junior Brother Fan, you have some skills, but you must do things in a down-to-earth manner and not be vain. But it doesn't matter, I'll see Bao Qincha tomorrow. After Jia Zhixian's case is decided, I will introduce you to Bao Qincha, and he will definitely value you. From now on, if you embark on the right path and get an official position, isn't it more decent than what kind of pot factory you open? ”

Fan Yu saw that Zhanzhao didn't believe it, and only wanted to help himself get Bao Zheng's favor, so as to get an official and a half-job to glorify his ancestors. This may also be the way he showed his own thoughts, and he overapplied these thoughts to himself.

Moreover, in addition to his official position, Zhanzhao also looked down on other professions, which made Fan Yu a little uncomfortable. However, he also knew that most people at this time thought the same way, but it was understandable. But there are some things that are not unhappy, and Fan Yu's own different opinions.

"Brother Zhan, although it is good to have an official body, this official body is not omnipotent." Fan Yu argued: "It's like my pot, although it's inconspicuous. But if it is used well, it will also be able to withstand military affairs. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhan Zhao immediately caused a burst of laughter, and only after laughing did he say: "You young man just likes to say these amazing words, just make pots, and what kind of military affairs can you withstand." It's hard to make it, you can't still go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Fan Yu still didn't believe it when he saw Zhanzhao, and he was afraid that he could only let him see the real chapter.

Therefore, Fan Yu urged: "When Brother Zhan finishes eating, I will take my eldest brother to my pot factory to have a look." If what I said is wrong, then I will never argue with my eldest brother in the future. ”

"Okay, well, when I'm done eating, I'll take a look at it." Zhan Zhao was only a young man's vindictiveness, and couldn't help laughing.

Half an hour later, Zhan Zhao and Fan Yu arrived in the workshop.

Fan Yu called the yellow blacksmith and demonstrated to Zhanzhao how to make a pot on the spot.

Zhanzhao watched the huge hammer smash into the mold and make a pot, and he didn't feel anything.

"This thing is ingenious, but what does this have to do with military affairs?" Zhan Zhao sighed and said, "Is it just to make a few more pots for the army?" ”

Fan Yu asked the yellow blacksmith to stop the waterwheel, pulled Zhan Zhao and walked back together, and said on the way: "Brother Zhan, don't think that this hydraulic stamping can only make pots." If you use this machine to make iron armor for my Great Song Dynasty official army, it is far from being comparable to sending more blacksmiths. ”

Hearing this, Zhanzhao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but gasp and said, "You...... You've thought of it! No wonder they are so sure that it is related to military affairs. If it is armor making, I am afraid that in one day, this stamping mechanism can top dozens of blacksmiths! ”

"Exactly." Fan Yu gestured with both hands and said, "If you divide the half body armor into two pieces before and after, make a mold for each." There are other parts that are also made of corresponding molds. A few more waterwheels will be enough. Blacksmiths only need to prepare a few more materials, and they can easily make the various parts of the battleframe, and finally assemble a complete set of armor. At that time, all the officers and soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty will be able to wear and be sharp. Xia and Liao, can they still compete with my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhanzhao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and of course he has also thought about joining the army. He also dreamed that one day he would break through the Xia and Liao kingdoms and recover the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty was weak, and signed the Lanyuan Alliance with the Liao State more than 20 years ago, which made him lose interest in joining the official army.

"When I see Bao Qincha tomorrow, I must recommend you to him!" Zhan Zhao said categorically: "If Bao Qincha refuses, I will break off with him!" ”
