Chapter 35 The Problem of the Mentally Handicapped
"Look, I'm just cutting tomatoes!"
Tang Qi took the kitchen knife in his hand and shook it at Wei Qing first, and then used the knife to cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
Next, Tang Qi started another stove, poured new oil into the pot, put in the tomatoes and fried until soft, then added some sugar and salt and it was out of the pot.
A bowl of fragrant tomato sauce is ready.
Wei Zifu sniffled, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so fragrant, just smelling it can make people drool!" ”
Liu Che echoed: "This sauce is indeed very fragrant, it is worthy of Mr. Tang's craftsmanship!" ”
Tang Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't boast, what kind of craft is this, it's just a simple fried sauce!" ”
Wei Zifu asked eagerly, "Mr. Tang, can you dip the french fries in this sauce now?" ”
Tang Qi shook his head and said, "It's not good yet, you have to let it cool a little!" ”
The tomato sauce that has just come out of the pot has a relatively average taste.
On the contrary, after cooling, the taste is more rich.
When Wei Zifu heard this, he could only hold back his greed first and wait for the tomato sauce to cool.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wei Qing opened his mouth and asked Tang Qi, "Mr. Tang, can you show me your kitchen knife?" ”
Tang Qi was stunned and said, "What do you want me to do with a kitchen knife?" ”
Wei Qinghan smiled: "I'm just curious, I want to see what material it's made of!" ”
"What other material can it be, of course it's iron, what's so nice about this!"
Tang Qi said, still handing the kitchen knife to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing couldn't wait to take the kitchen knife and looked at it.
In fact, Wei Qing noticed that Tang Qi's kitchen knife was very special.
It is completely different from the kitchen knife used by the Han now, the whole body is clear, and the edge looks extremely sharp.
After taking a closer look this time, Wei Qing liked it again and felt distressed.
What I like is that the metal used in this kitchen knife is like iron and non-iron, and the toughness and hardness are superb; It's a good material to hit a kitchen knife, and it would be great if it was used as a weapon.
"Mr. Tang, is this really made of iron? Could it be the Outer Iron? ”
Wei Qing asked Tang Qi curiously.
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Fart's Extraterrestrial Dark Iron, this is just ordinary iron refined by normal methods!" ”
"The normal way?"
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
The normal method that Mr. Tang said should be the normal method of Penglai Xiandao.
But compared to the mortal world, it can be regarded as an immortal law!
"Mr. Tang, may I ask the method you mentioned, how do you operate it specifically?"
Wei Qing asked Tang Qi very sincerely.
If you can master the technology of immortal iron smelting, then the weapons of the Han Dynasty army can be replaced with better ones.
When the time comes, the magic weapon is in hand, and sweeping the Huns is not the same as playing.
Just thinking of this, Wei Qing couldn't help but feel excited.
In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the iron-smelting technology was still at a relatively rough level, and the iron smelted was relatively brittle.
They prefer to use copper as a weapon to brittle iron, that is, a bronze sword.
The bronze sword is known as the king of short weapons, and it is more suitable for replenishing troops and fighting with shields, but in the face of cavalry, the lethality of the Han sword is limited.
First of all, because the main method of the sword is stabbing.
But in the face of the galloping cavalry, it was difficult for the Han sword to pierce the vital parts of the cavalry.
Even if it is stabbed, it is difficult to pull it out for a while, and it is very likely to be broken.
In the early days of the Han army and the Xiongnu war, there was often a comical scene on the battlefield: after the Han soldiers killed the Huns, they threw away the long swords in their hands and went to pick up the Huns' war knives.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che learned from the pain, ordered skilled craftsmen to study day and night, and finally developed the nemesis of the Hun cavalry - the ring head knife.
Of course, the original ring head knife was also mainly made of copper.
It was not until the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the iron-smelting technology was greatly developed, and the ring-headed knife made of 100 steel-making appeared.
Wei Qing led the army to conquer the Huns, using the ring head knife, and beat the Huns to flee.
It is now the middle period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so Wei Qing is still a little unfamiliar with the more advanced iron-smelting technology.
Tang Qi touched his nose and said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in ironmaking, just as I'm going to make a few needles in the afternoon, you can visit and learn it then!" ”
Wei Qing immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, Wei Qing is grateful!" ”
Tang Qi pouted and said, "Needless to say, thank you, you can swing your sword at me less in the future!" ”
Wei Qing suddenly smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't control it, and I won't be next time!" ”
"Okay, I'll fry some more fries and let you taste the classic way of eating french fries dipped in tomato sauce!"
After saying that, Tang Qi moved to the location of the fryer.
At this time, Wei Zifu spoke: "Mr. Tang, these french fries...... Can you let me try it? ”
Tang Qi looked at Wei Zifu, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you want to blow it up yourself?" ”
Wei Zifu nodded and said, "I want to try it, if I want to eat it in the future, I can make it myself!" ”
She really loves french fries, just like many little girls in later generations.
Tang Qi had no reason to stop Wei Zifu's little hobby.
He stepped aside and made an inviting gesture, "Then you can try it, but be careful not to let the hot oil spill on your hands!" ”
Wei Zifu nodded, stood in front of the stove, grabbed a large handful of fries and threw them into the pot, and then followed Tang Qi's example, stirring in the pot with a spoon to make sure that the fries would not sink to the bottom of the pot.
After waiting for three or four minutes, Tang Qi said, "Okay, now the fries are almost fried, and you can catch them!" ”
Wei Zifu didn't say a word, and immediately scooped the fries into the big bowl.
The aroma rises as soon as it rises.
Wei Zifu took a deep breath quite intoxicated, and boasted: "The French fries I fried don't taste bad, they are so fragrant!" ”
Tang Qi pointed to the ketchup and said, "You dip the fries in the ketchup and taste it to see how it tastes!" ”
"Good!"
Wei Zifu agreed, but he didn't care about the heat, so he directly grabbed three French fries, inserted them into the ketchup and dipped them, and then put them in his mouth.
"Hmm!"
Wei Zifu's eyes widened and said excitedly: "This is also too delicious, sweet and sour, even better than tomatoes!" ”
When Liu Che heard this, he quickly dipped some tomato sauce with French fries and put it in his mouth.
Then, Liu Che also narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of enjoyment.
Fried foods are inherently pleasurable.
Add to that ketchup, and it's a blissful blast.
Tang Qi said with a smile: "If you think it's delicious, eat more, eat well, and work with me!" ”
Liu Che munched on French fries and asked, "What else do you have to do?" ”
Tang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not a big job, it's just changing the water in the fish pond, it's quite easy, you eat first, I'll take you to the fish pond first after eating!" ”
"Fishpond?"
Liu Che asked curiously, "Is it Mr. Tang, the pond where you raise your own fish?" ”
Tang Qi rolled his eyes, disdainful of answering such a mentally retarded question......
