The medicinal soup made by Zhang Zhongjing was not a panacea, and drinking it once could cure frostbite, so this good deed lasted for ten days.

Many mutton soup pot owners in the city saw that the people liked to eat the newly launched "Jiao'er", so they went to the greenhouse area to learn how to make it, and then launched it in their own stores according to the gourd. For a while, a sign was hung outside the door of many mutton soup pots, which read, "There are Jiaoer for sale inside." ”

The wealthy people in the city will definitely not be like those poor people, put down their bodies, and run to the greenhouse area to get free Jiao'er, and now they can't help but run over to try this novel pasta when they see the mutton soup pot near their residence.

After Han Zhan learned that all the mutton soup restaurants in Yedu City now had Jiao'er, that is, the dumplings that later generations were familiar with, he felt that his goal had basically been achieved, so he sent someone to inform Zhang Zhongjing to stop distributing medicinal soup and Jiao'er.

Luo Bu, who was ordered to act, after returning from Zhang Zhongjing, saw several ox carts parked outside the gate of the mansion, and the carts were full of altars and jars. A few people who looked like ordinary people were negotiating with the soldiers at the door.

"What's going on?" Rob drove forward and asked in a loud voice to the person in charge, "Why are there so many vehicles parked in front of the house?" ”

"Back to the Luo guards," the chief hurriedly reported, "these people said that they had sent a burned jar to the governor's mansion, and the small one was being interrogated." ”

"This military master." A middle-aged man wearing a dogskin hat found that Rob seemed to be a person with weighty words, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and said with a smile: "The villain is the boss of the burning pinxuan, a few days ago, Anyang Hou once took a drawing to the villain's buddy, saying that he would burn a hundred special jars according to the drawing. Now fortunately, the jar has been burned, and the villain personally led someone to send things to the Hou Ye. ”

"My father-in-law's custom-made jar?" When Han Zhan called the guy into the greenhouse, Rob happened to be not around, so he didn't know anything about it. However, seeing that the boss of Burning Pinxuan does not look like a deceitful, and in Yedu City, if anyone dares to deceive Han Zhan, it is tantamount to looking for death by himself, no matter how bold the boss is, he will not dare to sit on this kind of thing. To figure out what was going on, Rob asked, "Where are the drawings?" ”

The boss hurriedly took out a boxy piece of paper from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Rob, and said respectfully: "This military master, this is the drawing that Master Hou handed over to the villain." ”

Rob took the drawing and looked at it, and found that there was a very strange kind of jar painted on it, which was very different from the usual jars in the past. He wasn't sure if this was an order from Han Zhan, so he could only say to the boss: "You wait here, I'll go into the mansion and report to the lord." ”

When he came to the inner courtyard, Rob saw Han Zhan and handed the drawings in his hand to the other party: "Lord, there is a boss of Burnt Pin Xuan outside, saying that the jars you customized have been burned, and now they are all piled up at the door, waiting for your acceptance." ”

Han Zhan saw that the jars he customized some time ago had been fired, and after saying two good things, he instructed Rob: "Rob, immediately order someone to transport all the jars to the inner courtyard, settle the payment for the goods, and reward him with twenty gold." ”

After about a stick of incense, Rob and a group of soldiers moved the jars into the courtyard. Seeing this, Han Zhan pointed to the wall and instructed him, "Place these jars neatly by the wall." ”

Just when Luo Bu led a group of soldiers to set up the altar, Guo Jia walked in from outside, saw the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but ask Han Zhan curiously: "Lord, what are these altars used for?" ”

"Kimchi," Han Zhan picked up a jar in front of him and looked at it carefully: "There are few vegetables in winter, except for cabbage and radish, the people can rarely eat other dishes." Ben Hou thought of a way, that is, to soak some vegetables in the jar, so that not only can the people have one more way to eat, but also the preservation time of the vegetables is much longer. ”

Guo Jia stared at the jar in Han Zhan's hand and found that it was one foot high, and there was actually a circle of altar rims near the mouth of the altar, which was very different from the jars he had seen before. Curious, he asked, "Is it a jar for pickles?" ”

"No, no, no," Han Zhan beckoned to a family member standing not far away, motioned for him to come over, and said to Guo Jia: "Pickles are pickles, and pickles are pickles, and the two can't be confused." ”

After the family came over, Han Zhan handed him the jar in his hand and said, "Take it and clean it immediately, and then tell the kitchen to boil a pot of water, and when the water is cold, pour it into the jar." ”

After the family received the order to leave, Han Zhan pointed to a jar at his feet and asked Guo Jiapu: "I plan to put some vegetables into this jar and soak them in salt water, referred to as kimchi." Soak the vegetables in the jar, cover the lid, and add water to the rim of the jar, which can play a sealing role, so that the vegetables inside can be stored for a long time. ”

Guo Jia saw the kimchi jar for the first time in history, how did he know the magic of this jar, and he was still asking ignorantly: "I don't know how long it will take to eat the vegetables after they are put in?" Also, How long do you keep the dishes inside? ”

"If it's cabbage and turnips, it only takes four or five hours."

"You can eat it in four or five hours?" Guo Jia was a little surprised and asked, "I don't know how it tastes?" ”

"You'll know when you taste it."

Half an hour later, the family came to report to Han Zhanyu: "Lord Qiqi, the jar has been cleaned, and the cold boiling water has been poured into the jar, I don't know what to do next?" ”

Han Zhan is very familiar with the steps of making kimchi water, such as adding salt, peppercorns, dried chilies, rock sugar, cooking wine, and so on. In this era, there are no dried chili peppers and rock sugar, so you can only use dogwood instead of chili peppers, so I instructed the housekeepers: "Add salt, peppercorns, dogwood, and wine ,...... to the jar."

As soon as he was halfway through the conversation, Han Zhan immediately realized that people in this era didn't even know what kimchi was, and it might be self-defeating to explain to them how to make kimchi water, so it was better to do it himself. Then he changed his words and said, "Forget it," Ben Hou should do it himself.

Han Zhan came to the kitchen and began to make kimchi water by himself, while putting salt, pepper and white wine into the jar according to the ratio he was familiar with, he also instructed the chef who was watching the excitement on the side: "Prepare me a little cabbage gang and radish skin of white radish." ”

Although the cook didn't understand why Han Zhan gave such orders, he still faithfully followed his orders and prepared these things for him. Han Zhan made the kimchi water, broke the cabbage gang prepared by the cook one by one, and put them into the jar in turn. Then he put the peel of the radish that the cook had peeled into the jar.

And when he had done all this, he covered the lid of the jar and added water to the rim of the jar. Then he said to the cook, "At dinner, you take out the cabbage and radish skin, cut it into small pieces, and bring it to you, understand?" ”

Although the cook felt that Han Zhan's method was strange, he still agreed without hesitation when he heard his order: "The little one obeys the order." ”

When Guo Jia arrived at the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, he was originally just discussing with Han Zhan, but when he saw such a strange thing, he couldn't help but want to taste it. After the explanation of the discussion, I casually found a reason to stay. Han Zhan understood his thoughts, but considering that he wanted to promote this kind of kimchi in Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places, he really had to let his henchmen taste it first, so that they could work hard to promote it.

Seeing the cut radish skin and cabbage gang on the plate on the table, Guo Jia took a pair of chopsticks, put them in his mouth and took a bite gently, and found that they were crispy and had some sour taste, which was much more delicious than the boiled cabbage he ate on weekdays. He nodded vigorously and said to Han Zhan, "Lord, this kimchi tastes really good, you hurry up and taste it." ”

When Han Zhan saw Guo Jia going to pick up kimchi again, he couldn't help but think in his heart: It's a pity that there are not many things in this era, otherwise you must feel the unique flavor of pickles in Bashu. Also, if you have chili peppers, pour a spoonful of oil and spicy seeds in the kimchi, sprinkle some MSG, and mix well, which is a good accompaniment to rice.
