Chapter 70: Liu Xian cooks
One by one, the fish were thrown up from the water by Liu Xian, and there was a rain of fish, which made the village women overjoyed, and ran to check them out with joyful laughter.
They never imagined it would be so easy to fish in a big river.
At this time, they also somewhat understood what Zhang Ning meant by congratulating Liu Xian on his cultivation of divine skills. They at least understood that if they practiced the magic skills, they could catch so many fish in the river in this winter.
It's food, and there's nothing more satisfying for them than having it.
Many village women cried with joy, kneeling down to Liu Xian in the water on the shore, and they almost regarded Liu Xian as a god.
In Liulin Village, when they were most desperate and helpless, it was Liu Xian who rescued them, and now, it was Liu Xian who gave them hope to survive. In this way, in their minds, Liu Xian has risen from the son of Liu Mansion to the young master, and now he has risen to a god-like existence.
Why did Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road develop so quickly among the people? The main reason is that he did use the combination of the Taiping Sutra's medical skills and runes, and there were indeed countless living people, so that the people regarded him as a god and were willing to obey his orders.
In ancient times, the use of gods to fool the people was actually the most effective, after all, the people were basically people who were knowledgeable, and if they encountered something they couldn't understand, everything was blamed on the gods was the best explanation.
Of course, Liu Xian did not mean to use the name of the gods to fool the people. Now, it is these village women who spontaneously believe that Liu Xian is their savior and their god.
Liu Xian ignored the thoughts of the village women on the shore, and did not pick and kill too many fish in the river, he caught a total of more than 100 fish, and he cleaned them before going ashore.
After coming ashore, Liu Xian began to teach the village women how to use the reed stems to weave some fish cages, and then taught them how to set up traps at the mouth of the fish cages. Following the demonstration on the spot, he killed some fish, took out the internal organs of the fish and placed them in the fish cage, tied the fish cage with a rope, and sank the fish cage not far from the river.
After a while, he pulled the rope on the shore and pulled the fish cage ashore, and in a short time, a big fish had been caught in the fish cage.
After proving to everyone that they could easily catch fish in this way, Liu Xian went back to the village with Xiaojing and Zhang Ning first.
Fishing matters, I believe there is no need for Liu Xian to worry about it in the future. Originally, the women of these villages did not dare to think about catching fish in the river, because it was usually the men's business. But now, with the method taught to them by Liu Xian, they can easily catch a large number of river fish.
For a long time to come, we will not be worried about eating meat, and even if you can catch fish on the banks of the river, you will not need a boat or a net to go directly to the river to net fish.
These natural and ecological fresh river fish, Liu Xian naturally can't miss it. After coming to this world for so many days, he hadn't even eaten a meal of fresh meat, and Liu Xian felt that he was about to drool.
Therefore, Liu Xian naturally brought several big fish with him.
Back at Liu's Mansion, after Liu Xian changed into dry clothes, he went down to the kitchen in person despite the opposition of Xiaojing, Zhang Ning, Zheng Bo and others.
Liu Xian personally went to the kitchen, in fact, to give Xiaojing and several other maids who were newly recruited into Liu's mansion, as well as two or three women, to conduct an on-site teaching.
One is to teach them how to get rid of the fishy smell completely. The second is to teach them how to cook these fish to make them more delicious. Three, Liu Xian also wants to know what condiments are available in this era. With more contact with life, Liu Xian can know what methods he can use to make more money in this era.
Now Liu Xian is more and more convinced that his memory should also be one of the benefits of him as a traverser. This refers not only to the original memories of Liu Xian, but also to those memories of him in the postmodern era.
The memories of his later life seem to be sleeping memory factors, only when Liu Xian comes into contact with certain people, it is possible to activate those memory factors, which can make Liu Xian clearly remember about the people or things in front of him.
Of course, this so-called relevant person or thing refers to the records of these people or things in front of him that Liu Xian had heard of at some time in his later life, or watched it on movies and television, or seen it in a certain book. These are not all real history, and Liu Xian can only extract these memories as a reference.
In the kitchen, Liu Xian really found a lot of condiments. For example, ginger, garlic, green onions, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise leaves, and some sun-dried herbs.
However, there is also a lack of many daily necessities that were common in later generations.
For example, in the postmodern era, peanut oil has been basically used as an edible oil for people's lives. There is no such thing in this Three Kingdoms era, and this is mainly that there are no peanuts at all. Peanuts were recorded in the early Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and there should have been no such common plant in later generations in China.
If you guess it, it should be the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry attacked Western Europe, brought back the seeds from Western Europe, and then China had this crop. And it was very popular with the people, and it quickly spread.
It can be said that when you are used to eating peanut oil, and then you eat other oils, you always feel that something is not delicious. But there is no way around this, who said that now the big man can't find peanuts at all?
In addition to this peanut oil, there is another major condiment that is not available, and that is soy sauce.
Soy sauce, which really appeared in China, should have existed in the Zhou Dynasty. But at that time, soy sauce production was not very mature, and many times soy sauce was made by accident.
It wasn't until around 220 that there was a real record of real soy sauce.
Of course, it's not that there really isn't, it's just that there is no one in Liu's house, and these condiments are not something that ordinary people can enjoy, they are generally emperors' families, and some real rich families can enjoy them.
However, although there is no real soy sauce in Liufu, there are some soy sauces with a similar taste, which are oil made by chopping meat into meat puree and fermenting, and the taste is similar to that of soy sauce made from soybeans.
Although some condiments are missing, Liu Xian can also use them.
Liu Xian taught on the spot, teaching Xiaojing to make braised carp, steamed fish, boiled fish, pepper fish, etc., Liu Xian made them while letting them taste it, until they even swallowed their tongues.
None of them thought that the fish, which they had never eaten much, could be so delicious.
After Liu Xian taught them, he asked them to teach other villagers how to make them. However, Liu Xian strictly ordered them not to spread these methods of making fish food casually.
Liu Xian thought about it, these are actually dishes that make money in this era.
