Chapter 158: The Past Is Turbulent (Fifth Update)
A large casserole is placed on top of the alcohol stove, and the pot is bubbling and the fragrance wafts out.
Other dishes include fish cutlets, braised fish maw, stir-fried garlic sprouts with tenderloin, pork tail in a dry pot, roasted lion's mane mushrooms with chicken thighs, and scrambled eggs with fungus and cucumbers.
Counting the eight dishes of fish head, there is a fruit plate of watermelon and melon next to it.
The rest of the watermelon rind is mixed with a cold dish, and the cold dish with shredded carrots and cold powder is placed on the left and right.
"Big brother, after the beginning of spring, your Zhuangzi will grow many watermelons with my Zhuangzi, and I want to make watermelon cream, which is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.
The watermelon cream made with watermelon and miscanthus salted to treat mouth ulcers and sore throat is the medicine sprayed on the palate of the old man that day. β
Li Yi first sandwiched a small piece of watermelon to eat and said to Li Chengqi.
Taohong next to her also said softly: "The proprietor and the royal eunuch of the Huangzhuang above have agreed, and the Huangzhuang also has a lot of plants, so Wang Xing is always afraid of being replaced." β
She spoke for Wang Xing, and if someone else came over, she might not cooperate with the tacit understanding, if she was looking for something, wouldn't she be killed.
"Then Wang Xing is still good." Li Longji spoke.
The palace maid and the eunuch are clear, and Wang Xing will come over in the future, and Yang Siqiao doesn't count.
Queen Wang narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Yes, Wang Xing...... I'm not familiar with it, but it looks good. Uncle, why is the tofu in the pot different? β
She almost made a mistake again, and quickly changed the subject.
Li Yi didn't know, he looked down, and sure enough, the tofu was tofu.
However, one is whiter and more tender, and the other is slightly yellower and looks firm.
"The tender is the brine tofu, and the firm is gypsum tofu, which was made last night, and until now, the old tofu, the people in the back kitchen are getting more and more thoughtful, very good."
At a glance at Li Yi, you can see that the coagulant is different.
"Brother Yi, which one do you want to talk about?" Li Chengqi is willing to listen to Li Yi talk about ingredients when eating, and he feels more fond of eating.
"If the tofu is made at the same time, the tofu from the brine is less and tender, and the tofu from gypsum is more, and the tofu from gypsum is profitable."
Li Yi introduced that the people who sold tofu at that time called brine tofu, which means that the cost is high.
"For the same beans, if you put those waters, will there be less brine?" Li Chengqi didn't believe it.
"Put the same amount of water, the gypsum can be pointed out, the brine can't be pointed, the brine needs to be thicker, even if you put more brine, when pressing the tofu, the water will run out."
Li Yi did not mention the specific reaction of the coagulant, only the appearance.
"Then everybody makes it in plaster." Queen Wang thinks it's okay to make more money.
"Sister-in-law, gypsum tofu is compared with brine, others are unwilling to buy it, they can't sell it, they are slowly dehydrated, they become old tofu and then sold, and the amount is lost.
Therefore, those who can buy buy old tofu, and those who sell tofu sometimes continue to press old tofu, press it into dried tofu, smoke it, it is smoked tofu, put salt to dry, and dry in the shade, it is salted tofu. β
Li Yi knows tofu very well, and when he practiced, he used threads to sew on tofu, and he sewed all kinds of things.
There is also practice on peeled grapes, one stitch and one thread, lifting lightly as heavy, and then you can lift as light as light when you can suture it.
Only those who have just entered the school buy a piece of pork with skin to practice, and they can eat it after practice.
As soon as everyone said that they wanted to practice and go to the vegetable market to buy something, they couldn't raise their heads when they bought pork, no matter how expensive pork was.
At that moment, it was a dimensionality reduction blow.
I used to eat pork a lot, my skills were not good, and my training cost more money.
Can tofu and pork be the same price, it's all tears when I think about it.
The people at the table didn't know how big the psychological shadow was when Li Yi said tofu, and they began to taste two kinds of tofu.
Elsewhere, farmers eat watermelons, not seeds, and spit watermelon seeds into plates.
The proprietor said that it is useless to eat it in the stomach, it is better to spit it out and use it as a medicinal herb.
The watermelon rind was not visible at all, and the big box was full of watermelon pulp.
The skin is chopped and mixed with mango to make watermelon cream.
I made a lot of it in the fall, and I put it in the pharmacy.
"Brother Yi, will you take out your watermelons and melons and sell them?" Li Chengqi asked, he also has a lot of Zhuangzi.
"If you can't eat too much, you can sell it, and try to sell melons, but you don't grow artemisia seeds, so you can't add flavor to melons." Li Yi talked about Artemisia.
Places where melons are sold have artemisia seeds, one is to enhance the fragrance, and the other is that the freshness of artemisia seeds can repel mosquitoes and flies.
If you want to preserve the water of the melon, you can water the artemisia seeds, and the position of the melon is placed downward, so that the melon can absorb some water and does not reduce the taste.
Of course, if you water it, the melon won't be sold on the same day.
Generally, there is dew overnight, so that the melon can be kept.
Buying melons in the supermarket feels that they can't taste as good as those sold in roadside carts, and this is the root cause.
The wisdom of the working people can be preserved without soaking in fresh water.
"Isn't there in the pharmacy?" Li Chengqi is as wise and intelligent as the working people.
Li Yi looked at this big brother with that kind of eyes.
After looking at it for a while, Li Yi opened his mouth after looking at Li Chengqi awkwardly.
"You asked me to take the mugwort preserved from the Dragon Boat Festival to make melons? What do you use for acupuncture? I have to make moxibustion strips, some of which have to be boiled and applied externally and taken internally. β
Li Chengqi stiffened his neck: "I don't believe that you can't cure the disease without moxa." β
"Big brother is high, brother is convinced." Li Yi put down his chopsticks and arched his hand.
"Look, I'll just say it." Li Chengqi was as triumphant as a general who had won a battle.
Queen Wang glanced at this eldest brother, and it was still not down-to-earth enough, although she had learned a lot from her uncle since the spring.
Li Longji didn't laugh at the eldest brother, because he didn't understand either, he asked: "Brother Yi, mugwort Dragon Boat Festival day is the best?" β
"It doesn't mean that day, it can be a few days before and after, and then I picked it and ate it as a dish. It can be planted, but there are many wild ones, so there is no need to occupy land. β
Li Yi gave a time, the ancients already knew that the mugwort at that time during the Dragon Boat Festival had the highest medicinal value.
As for how the ancients knew, he didn't know.
"What about my uncle after a period of time after the Dragon Boat Festival?" The queen was willing to participate in the inquiry.
"The next one is not suitable for medicinal use, but it can repel mosquitoes, and the mugwort is rolled into a rope, hung in the house, and lit to extinguish the open fire.
The rope burns slowly, and the smoke fills the house, but it does not choke people and mosquitoes do not bite.
If the mugwort is beaten into pieces and pressed into mosquito coils, the lighting effect is better, and I will do it next year, there are so many laborers, I can't be idle. β
Li Yi said and looked at Peach, and Peachy nodded: "I'll make a note of it, even if it's a shift change, it will be passed on to the next Peach." β
This rosΓ© is the second batch of shift-changing pinks, and she always feels that the first batch of four people have a trace of resentment whenever they change shifts, which is very strong.
Later, she knew the reason, at the beginning, Colliers wanted to keep four people, and the four people refused in their attitude.
The proprietor directly said that it is not difficult to change shifts.
Now the four classes are not in Zhuangzi, and they are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and they are happy when they take their shifts.
In the palace, there is no better place to be at ease than Zhuangzi, eat well, sleep soundly, and have fun.
Li Longji was willing to see the happy looks of the palace maids and eunuchs, he took a bite of fish head meat and asked, "Brother Yi, what does brown rock mean?" β
"Rock." Li Yi said: "The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles...... You are a rock......"
"The concubine is regarded as a pampering reed. The reeds are like silk, and the rock has no transfer. Li Longji, Li Chengqi, and Queen Wang said together.
"What about the green pine?" Li Longji asked again.
"The heavy snow weighs down the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight. You must know that the pine is high and clean, and stay until the snow melts. Li Yishun said.
"Cuiliu." Li Chengqi spoke up.
"Two orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the sky. The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship. Li Yi didn't have to think about this.
Without waiting for others to ask again, he himself said: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. β
