Farming Pan Technology is not in a hurry, so after returning to Nanzheng, Li Su also immediately emptied his mind, prepared to be comfortable for a while, and took advantage of the happy event of the main business, eating, drinking and having fun every day, and changing his brain.

October 12 is the day of great joy for Liu Bei to accept two concubines at the same time. Three days later, on the 15th, it was booked to be the day for Guan Yu to marry a wife, and on the same day, he had to take a concubine, and on October 18, Zhang Fei married a wife.

On the eve of the banquet, Li Su still wanted to take a hot bath, clear away the fatigue of more than ten days of trekking in the Sword Pavilion and Yinping, and participate in the ceremony refreshed, so as not to be rude.

Cai Yong and Cai Yan's family, because they were going to Ba County to take office in the future and build another mansion in Dianjiang and Jiangzhou, so they politely resigned Liu Bei to choose another house for his family in Nanzheng, saying that they could live in the student's house temporarily.

Li Su's mansion was originally the second largest in Nanzheng County, which was originally lived by Zhang Wei and rebuilt and renovated. Li Su has no relatives, so let his teacher and sister live in the back and not squeeze at all.

Cai Yong and Cai Yan are used to living in the capital and Wu County, although the Cai family has little money in the capital and can't afford to enjoy any luxurious life, but Cai Yong's reputation and status are there, and he has seen a lot of the world, and Cao Cao, who is as rich as Cao Cao, often invites him to banquets as guests.

When he was in Wu County, Cai Yong lived in the manor that Gu Yong bought for him, and the Gu family was the head of the four valves in Jiangdong, very rich, and the treatment was also excellent.

When he came to Nanzheng this time, Cai Yong was actually ready to live a poor life, but he didn't expect that this prospective son-in-law's mansion was not very luxurious except for the decoration (at least in the eyes of other Han Dynasty people, it was not very luxurious, because Li Su didn't care about etiquette and useless decoration, and liked simplicity)

However, food, clothing, and daily necessities make people feel unique and very good at life. Even if Cao Cao and his father Cao Song were greedy for more than 100 million yuan when they were the big Si Nong, they had never used such a delicate thing.

In this era, there were no woks, no complicated cooking dishes, mainly stewed, steamed, fried and grilled. Li Su didn't have time to make a big deal about the equipment for the time being, so he relied on subtle adjustments in spices and other seasonings to improve his life.

The main reason is that even if the thin iron wok, no one will develop relevant dishes for a while, and Li Su can't be allowed to stir-fry in person, or teach the chef how to fry it by hand. He's not a cooking enthusiast, a gentleman is a chef, he just eats.

When he left Nanzheng in May, he ate skewers while taking a bath at most, and he was afraid that he would sweat too much if he didn't take a bath if it was hot. It's already early winter in October, and I don't have any scruples about the weather, and I'm not afraid of what to eat mutton and dog meat on fire.

He has done it to Zhonglang to keep Shu County too much, one person eats three portions, picks casually depending on the mood, and rewards the rest to his subordinates, or eats with friends, which is not too extravagant.

At this moment, Li Su was taking a bath with skewers and iron skewers, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others came again, and even Guan Yu was there.

However, Li Su didn't protect the food, mainly because there were a lot of materials prepared tonight. In winter, the meat is dried outdoors, and it is not afraid of spoilage for two or three days, and Li Su has hoarded it very fully.

Seeing Liu Bei, Li Su also subconsciously asked the maid to move a few more wooden barrels over, thinking that they would also take a bath before getting married to refresh themselves.

However, Liu Bei waved his hand to stop him: "Eh, no need, we are here today to eat meat and drink wine." By the way, let's see if there are any good things here, which will be entertained at tomorrow's banquet. ”

Liu Bei said, he had already opened the bow left and right, and he was worthy of a person with a double-strand sword, and the speed of taking the strings was much faster than Guan Yu Zhang Fei, who ate one with one hand and then took another.

He knows Li Su too well, Li Su seems to have new products here every time the season changes, how can he not come and search for it, in case he bumps into a "new hot model in winter", he will earn it.

Li Su smiled and teased: "Brother is so pompous, those staff members who are doing the ceremony are busy, why bother to make trouble for them with ingenuity." If you want to eat, drink and have fun, it is not on the day of marriage. Zi Jing Zi Yu they are really pitiful. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, Zijing Ziyu and they will just wait for tomorrow to eat and drink well, and watch the singing and dancing, I didn't let them do anything this time." Brother Xian, you have miscalculated - they are all pragmatic talents, governing the people and managing money, how could they let them do such a thing.

There are still few people under my command who understand etiquette and etiquette to eat idle meals, these few wedding gifts are all led by Guan Ning, and among Zheng Gong's disciples, Cheng Bing is also very good at etiquette, let them help. ”

Li Su then remembered that Liu Beijun still had a lot of strategists who were raised as mascots, specializing in etiquette, and Li Su originally thought that they would have to survive until they ascended the throne of Hanzhong before they could use it, or they would usually be in charge of education like Guan Ning. I didn't expect to find something to do when Liu Bei got married.

Li Su replied: "Since it is handled by these idlers, I am not afraid of finding trouble for them - I have something new here, just learn it, and use it to entertain guests tomorrow, as long as it doesn't 'violate the law of etiquette'." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "it!" The ancients had no tricks, and Zhou Tianzi could only eat meat sauce and rice. The virtuous brother has good things, and the guests feel happy.

Well, I'll take a look, I've seen this skewer and iron plate, your iron plate hasn't been baked as the tile of the dog fat roasted dog liver I ate in Yecheng, is there anything new? What's going on with this saucepan? ”

Li Suyi pouted his chin and gestured to the sauce next to him: "Shabu-shabu, it can also be called hot pot, just try it, mutton, dog meat, venison, all are fine." ”

Liu Guanzhang and the others looked at each other suspiciously, Liu Bei didn't want to start yet, but Zhang Fei tried first.

Many people in later generations said that hot pot sprouted in Mengyuan and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which Li Su did not believe.

It can only be said that the kind of copper hot pot with fast heat conduction and rapid temperature adjustment may have appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. But if you use a casserole like the Japanese sukiyaki or udon hot pot, then the source is too early, both in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Japanese learned it in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

And this thing can't be carried forward all year round, in fact, it is also related to seasoning - if the cooking time is too short, the meat itself can't be burned into the taste, it is purely light, if you use the meat raw materials with a strong smell, or the pig fed by the wet garbage of the Han Dynasty as an ingredient, it will not be delicious at all.

The key to the prosperity of hot pot is not in the pot, but in the dipping sauce and soup base that are rich enough.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei, who had no choice, casually shook a few pieces of meat, bared his teeth and bit it, and immediately abandoned it.

"Boya didn't expect that there were such unpalatable things in your house, phew." Zhang Fei couldn't help but spit it out.

Li Su couldn't help but complain: "Who made you so anxious?" Don't you see the sauce next to it? It's not the same when you dip that one and eat it. Okay, okay, you go out first, I won't soak anymore. ”

Li Su was disturbed upset, and ordered the maid to bring the hot pot outside, take Liu Bei and them away, and then close the door to serve Li Su to change clothes.

When he got dressed and went out again, he saw that Liu Bei and the three of them were not at all disgusted just now, but were full of praise and feasting.

Although there are no chili peppers yet, Li Su has already reused fried pepper oil, pepper, dogwood, and cumin that he had just recently bought from a Qianghu merchant to make a dipping sauce, and added well salt to taste.

With the dipping sauce and the beef and mutton fat in the bottom of the pot to taste, the hot pot has a soul.

"Okay, this is for my brother, tomorrow's banquet guests, let Guan Ning Cheng Bing and them instruct the cook, prepare dozens of casseroles to make. Brother Xian took out this recipe for dipping soup and it was done. Liu Bei wiped his mouth, wiped his hands clean, and patted Li Su on the shoulder:

"We won't take a bath for a few days, Brother Xian, you will bubble less in the future, it's not hot this day, how can it be so easy to stink. In the past few days, I have found a famous doctor and asked, saying that bathing hurts my vitality too much. You'll find out when you're going to get married in the future. If you want me to see, the daughter of Cai Gong, although she can't keep her relationship secret with her virtuous brother for the time being, she ...... in private Brother Xian is polite, you are also crowned, and you are idle. ”

Li Su was speechless for a while, Nima Liu Bei is looking for him to tell a meat joke? Aren't these kinds of jokes all told by chatting and farting like Jian Yong?

However, this can be regarded as a manifestation of treating him as a buddy, which is similar to how to deal with his wife and how to cover each other with friends in the workplace.

Li Su felt that it made sense, and agreed bluntly: "Brother is right, it doesn't matter if you soak for a few months, it really hurts your vitality to take a bath all year round, and if I make a new gadget to take a bath in two months, it won't hurt your vitality." ”

Traditional Chinese medicine says that bathing hurts the vitality, and its practical modern medicine explains that it is easy to kill sperm by soaking in water at high temperature all year round.

But this is not unsolvable, for example, you can change it to a sauna, get more wet bath towels soaked in cold water, and put them at the door to cool. When steaming, wrap a cool bath towel around to ensure that some areas of the body are not steamed by high temperatures, and then change the cool bath towel frequently.

Or make some odd-shaped Turkish baths, usually soak the limbs, and then pour circulating hot water on the upper body, and don't soak the lower body, it will not hurt the vitality.

For people like Li Su, who have a strong need for bathing, there are always more ways than difficulties, and it is good to continue to spend money on renovations.

The Turkish bath was not invented by the Turks, but was first invented by the people of Byzantium, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and is a collection of ancient Roman public baths and water supply system technology. The enjoyment that the Roman emperors of the same era can use, and it is not high-tech, and Li Su can certainly make it out.

This can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of Emperor Han Ling, and making up for the regret that Emperor Han Ling failed to complete the water supply and drainage technology of the Roman Empire.

Liu Guanzhang searched for all kinds of good goods and recipes that could be displayed at the wedding banquet on Li Su's mansion, and returned with a full load of food and drink.

After all the guests left, Cai Yan secretly turned out from behind the window of the side room and looked Li Su up and down with concern.

"What are you looking at...... Those just now were all jokes between men, and General Zhengxi had no malicious intent. Li Su was furious in his heart, and thought that Cai Yan had heard some novel meat jokes.

Cai Yan blushed and asked, "Senior brother...... Are you just bathing too much, so your body hurts your vitality......"

it? Is this because I think my brother has soaked in the bath too much, so he is empty?
