Chapter 12 Virus prevention starts with bathing
Tao Ran had to admire these lovely and respectable Tang Dynasty soldiers.
Most of them are illiterate, but they can quickly learn songs.
also let Tao Ran lead the singing three times, and the soldiers basically learned almost.
Especially in the final paragraph, the singing of "The Tang Dynasty wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate" is particularly domineering and shocking.
General Cheng stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded frequently.
Cheng Chumo was also yelling hysterically on the side, although it was very ugly.
Rhubarb looked at these collectively abnormal people in surprise, and turned around and went to the river to drink water.
By the time the sun had fully risen, breakfast had been prepared, and the soldiers consciously said goodbye to their music teacher, after all, the most important task at the moment was the task of the salt pan.
Tao Ran drank most of the bowl of white porridge, watched Cheng Chumo, and drank three bowls of white porridge in one go.
Cheng Chumo's round and sturdy body was really not given for nothing.
Tao Ran looked at the wild onion he put on his backpack, and ordered Cheng Chumo to go to the Huotou Army to borrow an iron pot to come over.
As soon as he heard that Tao Ran was going to eat at noon, Cheng Chu jumped out silently, and after a while, he asked the soldiers to bring a big black and shiny iron pot.
Tao Ran called the two sisters-in-law, after all, this was the first batch of people he met when he first came to Datang, not to mention that his torn clothes were still sewn by the two sisters-in-law.
"Two sisters-in-law, Tao Ran has nothing else to teach, today I will learn the method of green onion cakes for the two sisters-in-law, and I will have a skill in the future." Tao Ran just finished speaking.
The two sisters-in-law were about to bow and salute, but Tao Ran was very embarrassed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
Datang is good at everything, but there are too many courtesies, which is Tao Ran's most intuitive impression during this time.
Tao Ran took out the dough that had already woken up from the wooden barrel.
Place on a cutting board and sprinkle with a little mutton fat.
Knead evenly back and forth with your hands, when the kneaded dough has good elasticity.
Tao Ran began to roll the dough into the length, and the thickness of the rolling pin was about the same. Start pinching the dough with your hands, the size of each bowl.
Spread the dough with a rolling pin, and sprinkle the prepared green onion and salt evenly on both sides of the dough.
Then roll the dough back into the dough from one end and spread it out, at this point the chopped green onion and salt are fully integrated into the dough.
The pot is already red, put two spoonfuls of mutton fat in the pot and heat it.
Soon the oil in the pan was steaming.
While the oil is hot, put the spread dough into the bottom of the pan, fry one side in oil until it is almost browned, and then roll it over with a spatula to continue frying the other side.
Fried back and forth several times, the tent was full of the fragrance of green onions, and Cheng Chumo kept sucking saliva on the side.
The first green onion cake came out of the pot, and Tao Ran interrupted Cheng Chumo's big hand that was secretly stretched out.
"Some of them are eaten by you, go and send Uncle Cheng a taste first."
Cheng Chumo smiled and touched his head with his hand. "It's still my brother's thoughtfulness, if I let my father know that we eat alone, we will have to be beaten up."
Tao Ran took advantage of Cheng Chumo's time to send cakes to General Cheng, and explained in detail the key points and precautions from live noodles to pancakes to the two sisters-in-law.
The two women were teary-eyed and didn't know how to repay Tao Ran's kindness.
After a while, the two sisters-in-law started to make green onion cakes in person, Tao Ran nodded happily, and opened the tent to go out to breathe.
I didn't expect General Cheng to walk in with a smile, followed by a small black charcoal Cheng Chumo.
"Virtuous nephew, how many surprises do you have for me to keep this old bone. The cake that Tie Niu sent over just now made the old man have a big appetite, come on, come on, and give the old man ten more sheets........."
Tao Ran was completely speechless, such a scallion cake, according to his amount of food, he would eat two, this master is good, and his mouth is ten.
Tao Ran really doubted that General Cheng Lao had come from Heizhou, and his hunger had reached the point of crying ghosts and gods.
"Uncle Cheng, your old man doesn't want to eat ten sheets, even a hundred nephews promise to make them for you, but you also have to promise me a condition, the soldiers must take a hot bath after a day of fatigue tonight."
Tao Ran had just come from the planet where the coronavirus was still breaking out globally, and an epidemic had brought great panic to mankind, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, where medical conditions were even worse, and according to historical records, every cholera and plague in history would cause a large number of human deaths.
The root cause of these infectious viruses is that human beings do not pay attention to their own environmental hygiene.
"Okay, don't say it's to let them take a bath, you just let them rub your back, I agree."
General Cheng is spraying fragrant green onion cakes, and there is still a little bit of general demeanor there.
In this way, the two sisters-in-law spread one, and General Cheng ate one, and so on, and after eating ten sheets, he really ate ten sheets. Old General Cheng rubbed his round belly and said.
"This taste is the bread that people eat, the previous bread was eaten into the dog's stomach, immediately let the Huotou Army come over to learn to make green onion cakes, and those who can't learn will be rewarded with a hundred military sticks."
Cheng Chu silently pulled his little head and took the order. Is there such a father? I ate more than a dozen sheets in one go, completely ignoring my son's feelings, and my TM's saliva was almost full.
Influenced by the song of serving the country in the morning, today's salt mining progress is obviously much faster than yesterday, and by the end of the afternoon, more than 1,000 catties of salt have been collected.
Cheng Chumo had already ordered dozens of large wooden barrels to be lined up, and the Huotou Army specially set aside a few cauldrons to boil water.
Then, under Tao Ran's guidance, put one-third of hot water in each bucket, add one-third of cold water, and put a little salt in the bucket.
Although General Cheng and his son saw Tao Ran asking people to sprinkle salt grains into the bucket very painfully, they knew that there must be a reason for him to do this, so they endured their distress and did not step forward to stop it.
"I have come over to arrange for Lao Tzu, and from today the general has issued a new military order, that is, you must take a bath on time every day, otherwise the military law will deal with it. Look at all of you, all of them have hair on their bodies, and there are enough lice on their bodies to make snacks and drinks. ”
Cheng Chumo's words burst into laughter because of the soldiers.
"Don't laugh, this is what Tao Gongzi specially explained, even the bath water was personally prepared by him, saying that it was for everyone's health."
As soon as the soldiers heard that it was the bath water prepared by Tao Gongzi, they all immediately quieted down, and their expressions became much more solemn.
For this young boy, they have inexplicable respect from the bottom of their hearts.
