From planting garlic in the spring, six months have passed now, during which the garlic sprouts were pulled out once in April and May, but because Li Shun got too few garlic cloves from the Yue's, a total of less than half of the land was planted, and the fresh and tender garlic sprouts pulled out were only two or three catties, some of them were made into kimchi, and some were made twice garlic sprouts fried bacon, and the family had not yet solved the cravings, as for the garlic sprout hot pot meat Chen Xu did not dare to make it to eat, only picked a few thin fried plates of meat, and everyone did not eat well, Yu Wuya regretted it to the extreme, In addition to saying that I can only eat it next year, I am also looking forward to the garlic cloves ripening, and then have a good meal of steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli.

Although it is not autumn yet, it is almost the harvest time of garlic, and a few days ago, Chen Xu found that the garlic leaves had begun to turn yellow.

Seven or eight days did not come, the garlic seedlings are really a little older, except for the central leaves are still green, the old leaves around have been green and yellow.

In order to plant these precious garlic seedlings, Chen Xu not only made people have enough fertilizer, but also watered and weeded on weekdays, and in order to prevent the chickens and ducks in the yard from getting into trouble, he also put a fence more than one person high around the garlic seedling field.

Pushing open the fence door and entering, looking at the garlic stalks with finger thickness, Chen Xu chose the oldest garlic and pulled it out after observing it.

Under the thick garlic stalk, sure enough, there is already an egg-sized garlic head, hidden under the garlic coat looks bulging, peel off the garlic head and take a look, this garlic has more than ten garlic cloves of all sizes, it looks no different from the garlic head of later generations, the only thing is that the size of the garlic cloves is particularly uneven.

But it is undeniable that this is the real garlic, Chen Xu peeled off a clove and tasted it, and a rich spicy taste rushed him out with a sigh.

In later generations, people in many places have the habit of eating garlic cloves raw, and even some people have to peel a few cloves of garlic to eat and drink, but this vice Chen Xu does not have, in Chen Xu's view, garlic into the dish can sterilize, enhance the flavor and enhance the appetite, in addition to improving the body's immunity, but eating garlic is also very particular, not all dishes need garlic, and garlic will have a strong breath if you eat too much, because of the smell of allicin produced after the enzymatic of amino acids in garlic, so do not get close to people who eat raw garlic, Beware of poison gas coming, a fart can make people want to die, it can be called a biological weapon.

Yu Wuya, Xia Zijinshui, and the others all followed Chen Xu to the garlic seedling field, and looked at the garlic that Chen Xu regarded as a treasure.

"Engong, how does this garlic taste?" Yu Wuya watched Chen Xu eat garlic, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, you'll know if you taste it!" Chen Xu handed the garlic to Yu Wuya, Yu Wuya listened to Chen Xu's laughter, couldn't help but shudder slightly, waved his hand and said, "I saw Engong vomit just now, it must be unpalatable!" ”

The last time he waited for a few years, Erguotou has made him feel more and more unpredictable about the various things that Chen Xu is inventing now, and many things have begun to develop in a very exciting direction out of the category of deliciousness.

"All kinds of flavors in life, how can it be all sweet, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, with a good combination to make delicious food, green onions, ginger, pepper mustard are not delicious, but cooking is essential, you taste it, it is very exciting!" Chen Xu smiled with encouragement.

Yu Wuya struggled for a long time, feeling that what Chen Xu said was very reasonable, so he peeled off a petal and threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, and finally swallowed it with a twisted face.

"Hey, Engong is right, this garlic is extremely spicy, and the mouth is full of relishes under the chewing, which is very refreshing!"

"Give me a taste!" Xia Zijin took the garlic from Yu Wuya's hand, peeled a clove and threw it into his mouth, only took a bite and couldn't wait to spit it out, and then kicked it on Yu Wuya's ass, and turned around to find tea and rinse his mouth with a frown.

"Hehe, Brother Wuya will be beaten up again in a while!" Ying Shiyan covered her mouth and smiled.

Shui gently picked up the garlic that Xia Zijin threw on the ground, peeled a clove and bit it lightly, tasted it, and couldn't help but smile and nod: "This garlic is indeed much spicier than the small garlic in the Central Plains, garlic sprouts and garlic sprouts can be fried meat, I don't know how to eat this garlic?" ”。

"Fresh garlic is not easy to enter the dish, you have to dry it first, now the garlic is ripe, pull it up and clean it up and dry it together, and then choose a few small ones to soak up with sweet and sour, and it will be an appetizing side dish in a few days!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

Half a cent of garlic seedlings, plus a few maids, a total of seven or eight people to do it together, a few minutes all the garlic pulled out, clean up the soil on it, let people pick it up, cut off the roots, use the reed curtain to dry, when drying, Chen Xu selected some garlic stems and weak garlic to take to the kitchen, personally cut off the garlic rods, leaving only an inch long, peel off the old skin outside, and then put the garlic clothes into a clay pot, pour in some fruit vinegar, some salt, and then mash a few fructose and put it in and mix well and cover the lid.

Be sure to use fresh garlic for pickling sweet garlic, and preferably cloves of garlic rather than a single garlic with a round head.

Chen Xu has seen his grandmother and mother do it before, but he has to use an upside-down pickle jar, and he has to marinate it for two or three months, and after pickling, the garlic cloves become sauce red, and they taste sweet and sour, which is a very good refreshing side dish, especially the best to eat Luo Bao, but Chen Xu is too lazy to make it so complicated, and decided to make the simplest sweet and sour garlic according to his own method.

This pickling method is similar to kimchi, and although it certainly doesn't taste as good as real sweet and sour garlic, it doesn't look much worse.

The most important thing is that there is too little garlic, Chen Xu is reluctant to get a big jar to eat, this year's harvest is only a few hundred heads of garlic, all peeled into garlic cloves, and it is estimated that it will only be half an acre of land planted next year.

And this kind of thing should not be expected to be brought back by Meng Tian's army from the Yueshi in large quantities, because the Yueshi people do not grow vegetables at all, except for cattle, sheep and horses, the rest of the agricultural and sideline products all rely on the natural and wild model, commonly known as jungle.

In the next few days, Chen Xu spent most of his time hiding at home and drawing drawings, except for getting up early to go to the court with sighs and inspecting the yamen of Zhongshu Province.

When Chen Xu drew the drawings, Shui Qingrou also helped beside him, Chen Xu also explained some simple chemical knowledge to Shui Qingrou while drawing, which also made Shui Qingrou's interest greatly increased, and Chen Xu also turned out many manuscripts that were bored to write and draw on weekdays, pointing to some chemical element symbols and some chemical reaction formulas that he still remembered to teach Shui Qingrou to understand.

I can't remember the periodic table very clearly, but the basic elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and aluminum can still be remembered after constant recall, and some simple chemical reaction formulas can also be roughly remembered or calculated, as for the chemical reaction of more complex organic molecules, it has long been forgotten in Java.

But these chemical foundations that seemed miserable to Chen Xu were completely like the Book of Heaven in Shui Qingrou's eyes, and even Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin were quite interested at the beginning and gave up completely after taking a look twice.

Chen Xu wrote these strange symbols that twist and turn, I don't know or say, I feel dizzy after reading too much, far less recognizable than the I Ching, according to Yu Wuya, these books are not read by mortals, and reading too much will hinder the operation of internal breath, and it is easy to go crazy.

However, Chen Xu pouted and expressed doubts about this.

Nima I Ching is the Book of Heaven, well, the hexagrams in it are all long and short lines teasing together, as soon as you open it, you will be dizzy, not to mention, those deduced hexagrams are even more unreliable.

Although Chen Xu does not reject metaphysics, especially after encountering legendary characters such as Chisongzi and Guiguzi, he also believes that there are indeed people who can rely on the deduction of these hexagrams to get some useful information, but Chen Xu has to admit that compared with Western science, metaphysics lacks a realistic theoretical basis, and everything is built on the level of idealism, relying entirely on conjecture.

Although the origin of science also depends on conjecture, science also has a bold assumption, careful verification process, and this verification is the essence of science, because the verification process will reverse to support whether the idea is correct, and metaphysics does not have this verification process, Fu Xi plays gossip, King Wen pushes Zhou Yi, there is only a result and no process, so there is no way to reverse reasoning through verification.

Therefore, in addition to carefully retaining his reverence for the ancient Chinese civilization, Chen Xu has more energy to promote what he is familiar with.

Mathematics, geometry, mechanics, physics, chemistry and other natural sciences are the driving force and foundation for the rapid development of Daqin, and metaphysics can only be left to find someone to study slowly in the future.

And when he thought of the Book of Changes, Chen Xu suddenly remembered Shi Xuan, that guy said that he still had an ancestral book of the Three Tombs of Gu Yi, and he said that after killing Zhao Gao to take revenge, he would give the Three Tombs Gu Yi to Chen Xu, but then he never took it out, and this time Chen Xu deduced that the Miao doctor hidden in the palace was Zhao Gao according to Xu Fu's statement, Chen Xu was suddenly in a daze.

I always thought that Zhao Gao was dead, but in fact, he didn't die at all, and Shi Xuan never took out the three tombs Gu Yi, so there are only two possibilities, one is that Shi Xuan forgot what he said that day, and the other is that Shi Xuan knew that Zhao Gao was not dead through some method.

Judging from Chen Xu's current identity, it is unlikely that Shi Xuan will forget his promise.

Then there is only one possibility, Shi Xuan may have a mysterious way to know that Zhao Gao is not dead.

Hiss~, it is difficult for Shi Xuan to also deduce the technique.

Chen Xu tugged at his chin and almost brushed off a layer of skin.

It seems that I want to find an opportunity to talk to Shi Xuan about Zhao Gao and the Three Tombs Gu Yi, if Shi Xuan accidentally hangs up one day, this ancient book may really be lost from the long history of Chinese civilization.

The Three Tombs are easy to use or not, Chen Xu doesn't know, but this kind of thing is also a treasure of civilization left behind, and maybe he can study some mysterious things. ()
