A person carrying a table and holding a kitchen knife, under the scorching sun, disappeared into the gate of Zhang's mansion.

Then the door closed tightly.

"Lao Zhao, I have been in the ground for the past two days, and I have made ten ripe watermelons and covered them with cloth and sent them to the Marquis of Wu'an, Changlingyi."

The words of the young eunuch reminded Zhang Yuan that if he forgot Tian Wei at this time, he might be more sad in the next few days.

"Whoa."

From Liu Che entering the door to now a large number of people leaving, almost a quarter of an hour has passed, Lao Zhao's legs are still trembling, and the appearance of others is even more unbearable, and the smell of, urine and farts mixed together is not so good.

"I've seen it all, there will inevitably be some big people of all kinds in the back house, you have to get used to it one by one, don't embarrass me anymore, hurry back and wash your body."

Zhang Yuan roared, and dozens of adults crawled back to their thatched huts, leaving only those children who didn't know what was going on.

Not to mention these tenants who think that the county order is the biggest person in the world are afraid of being like this, even Zhang Yuan's back is soaked, some time ago he was still thinking about making a scarecrow to stand in the field, if this is really done, he was seen by Liu Che today, and his head is not there.

Before the agreement to Zhang Yuan Yicheng harvest, to the end of the summer only half of the end, fortunately the middle of the successive sent a lot to the field grass, half of the beet seeds are left to wait for next year's flowering and fruiting, half of all pulled out of the ground, the seeds are cut into pieces to make sugar, the whole process in the middle has Shaofu people on the side to watch, and after they learn, Zhang Fu made a good white sugar at all, and the rest of the beetroot is taken away.

The best pig feed was the leftover residue from beetroot boiling sugar mixed with beet leaves, and two more doors were opened from the fence in the place where the tenants lived on the left side of Zhang's mansion, allowing them to expand a place outside the mansion to raise pigs and chickens.

In addition to the 500 acres of land for planting watermelons and sugar beets, the remaining 2,500 acres of various grains are finally ripe in autumn.

In order to drink soy milk and eat tofu, the stone mill has already let Xiong Daxiong Er use the boulders on Lantian Mountain to build it in his free time.

It has to be said that due to the existence of Dinghu Yanshou Palace, there are surprisingly few wild people and wild beasts in these mountains and forests outside Zhang Yuan's mansion, and Liu Che held no less than five hunting activities in Lantian Mountain this year, and the crops have no interference from various uncontrollable factors, and they grow particularly well.

Natural goose egg gypsum can be found on the edge of the water, and now in this world, even Liu An, the king of Huainan, has not yet made tofu, and Zhang Yuan does not have to worry about being implicated with him.

Because he plans to let Chu Da take it back and dedicate it to Liu Che as soon as the finished product is produced, since he has crossed over, and he is still in the Han Dynasty, not another country founded by ethnic minorities in history, he should survive well, instead of thinking about making trouble at this stage when he began to gather national self-confidence.

"The mountain spring on Lantian Mountain is really good, add some sugar to these soy milks, boil them and cool them to give each person a bowl."

Zhang Yuan is very happy, soy milk is his favorite drink, this thing is simple and does not need a systematic task reward, and you can satisfy your appetite by groping by yourself.

Half of the soy milk produced on the first day was used to drink, and half was used to experiment with how to make good tofu.

Zhang Yuan had never made tofu before, only knew that the soy milk was heated and then coagulant, that is, gypsum powder or brine, and after it cooled, it would become solid tofu, but the proportion was not known at all.

In Dahan, eating too many beans will cause stomach flatulence, and it will also lead to iodine deficiency and increase the burden on the kidneys, and if you don't do it well, you will die. When everyone has food to eat, soybeans can only be used as fodder for horses, and people in the family do not know what soybeans are doing without horses.

Until Zhang Yuan got the tofu.

"Master, is this what you mean by tofu?"

Zhang Yuan got ten stoves in the kitchen and set up an iron pot, boiling soybean milk and gypsum powder, and the proportion of gypsum powder in each iron pot was different.

picked up the big iron spoon for cooking, scooped a spoonful, handed it to Lao Zhao, and said with a smile.

"Lao Zhao, try it."

Lao Zhao glanced at the group of people around him very proudly, smirked at Zhang Yuan, lowered his head and ate all the tofu cubes in his mouth.

"How?"

Although it was solidified and formed, Zhang Yuan didn't know how the taste and texture were different from what he had eaten before, so he wanted Lao Zhao to try it first.

Lao Zhao's mouth was full of tofu, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to speak, for fear of leaking out, so he just nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yuan also scooped a spoonful and tasted it, the taste was still a little worse, but the taste was the same as what he had eaten before, of course, it was also possible that he hadn't eaten it for too long, so he felt in his heart that as long as he could eat it, he would be happy.

"Lao Wang, give the rest, take out this pot of tofu and cut it into pieces, and I will make a big dish for everyone today."

The rest of the tenants didn't feel anything, they only knew that the head of the house, who could make new things all the time, should not be normal, so they thought about cooking. All right

But Lao Wang, they know that the head of their family is a master who created one of the genres of cooking.

"The little one will give you a hand."

Lao Wang's stir-fry skills all come from Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan has not been in the kitchen for several years, and now he is interested, and if he wants to show his hands, he must be more excited than others for Lao Wang.

Originally, I wanted to make mapo tofu, although there were seasonings such as peppercorn and dogwood, but without chili peppers, I always felt that something was missing, so Zhang Yuan wanted to make a stew of tofu with Chinese cabbage, which was simple but delicious.

The tofu that has not been cooked in any way has already shocked Lao Zhao, who has eaten stir-fried vegetables for several years, not to mention the tofu that Zhang Yuan has fried until it is slightly yellow on both sides.

The rest of the cooks are making other dishes, and more than 100 people in the house eat this stewed pork with vegetables and tofu, and it is great that one person can share a bite. The soy milk is still cooling, it can no longer be said to be cooling, in the winter in the cellar dug a deep hole to store some ice, in the summer to eat watermelon used most of it, now the rest of the ice is just right.

"Yo, Dr. Zhang personally cooks today, it seems that Chu is blessed."

Chu Da was sent by Liu Che to monitor Zhang Yuan clearly, and the Zhang Mansion would definitely not fortify him, so he walked into the kitchen with a swagger, not feeling that this was a place where nobles could not be involved.

"Doctor Chu came here today, I have developed a new ingredient, and I am demonstrating the cooking method for my family's cook, you can watch it here, and when the food is ready, stay and eat, if you think it is good, you can dedicate this ingredient to Your Majesty, which is considered to be repaying God's grace."

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Chu Da immediately paid attention to it, and after getting along for such a year, Chu Da thought that he also knew something about Zhang Yuan, and what he could offer to Liu Che was definitely a good thing.

The tofu and wead can be cooked quickly, and the pork belly is also fried first, and the lid is slightly covered and stewed for a while, and the fragrance comes out.

"Doctor Chu, please, let's go to the main building to eat."

In normal times, Xiaoqing eats with Zhang Yuan, if Chu Da is there, she will serve on the side, and then Lao Wang will leave some food for her, so when Chu Da comes, Xiaoqing is very unhappy.

After putting a few dishes on the table, he left in a huff.

"Doctor Zhang, your maid is still quite personal."

Chu Da took the chopsticks and pointed to Xiaoqing's departing figure and said with a smile, Zhang Yuan could only smile awkwardly, and then stretched out his hand to let Chu Da move the chopsticks first.

Chu Da was sent to Zhang Yuan by Liu Che, which indirectly showed that he was not valued as a young man, but Zhang Yuan felt that Chu Da was still quite shrewd, so he put a chopstick on top of the tofu, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

After seeing him swallow it completely, Zhang Yuan asked.

"What does Dr. Chu think?"

Chu Da put the chopsticks on the table before saying to Zhang Yuan.

"Please also ask Dr. Zhang to show me how it is produced here after eating, and then I will bring the finished product into the palace to meet Your Majesty."

In this way, it is already the highest evaluation, it is not a good thing, and the courtiers dare not send it to Liu Che's eyes.

However, Zhang Yuan was a little hesitant before he thought of a question.

"It's fragile and not easy to preserve, and no matter how it's transported, it can be damaged on the road.

Dr. Chu will stay in the house for a day, and I will tell you that from the equipment used to make this tofu to the final production process, you have learned that you can demonstrate it directly to His Majesty in Chang'an. ”

Zhang Yuan thought about it more thoroughly, Chu Da could only nod gratefully, it doesn't matter how many days the night is, the most important thing is that when it is presented, what Liu Che sees is the best.

This is an emperor who attaches great importance to the result rather than the process, and if it were not for this, there would be no allusion to Li Guang's difficult seal.

After eating, there was no need for Zhang Yuan to say that Xiong Da and the others began to grind the soy milk, and it was gone after only one bite, which was really not enjoyable.

Chu Da saw the lively scene in the yard, didn't care about eating, and quickly ran out to watch how the tofu was produced, and Zhang Yuan secretly called Xiaoqing to start eating the fried soybean oil that had just been hidden in the kitchen and didn't let Chu Da see it.

After cooling, the surface condensed into a sheet of soybean oil, Zhang Yuan must not be able to let Chu Da see it, how could he share it with other outsiders if he didn't have enough to eat.

After having soybean oil, he also thought of a dish that he liked to eat.

If you roll the minced meat mixed with various seasonings and roll it in soybean oil, steam and slice it, what kind of delicious it will be?

Zhang Yuanjin could only offer Liu Che ingredients, not delicacies, otherwise he was afraid that Liu Che would not be able to help but arrest him into the palace to cook in the end.
