When the hot steamed bun was placed in front of Li Er, Li Er was stunned. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. It's something, it smells like wheat, and some vegetables.

"Ding Yi, what you said about turning one pound into two pounds, these are the things"

"Your Majesty, yes, Lord Du and Gonggong Chen also saw it just now, these cakes and steamed buns are made of a pound of flour. Now you see, tsk" Ding Yi separated the cakes, buns, and steamed buns, and said to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, what the minister saw with his own eyes is indeed made of a pound of flour" Du Ruhui stood up and spoke, indicating the matter.

Chen Hong also responded to Li Er's question, and the eldest grandson Wuji walked forward, picked up a steamed bun and asked, "Ding Yi, what is the difference between this steamed bun and Hu Cake you said" The two things look really different, one is burnt yellow, and the other is white with a little yellow. And the contrast is obvious, there are only seven or eight Hu cakes, while there are more than ten steamed buns. Stacked together, it is true that there are many more steamed buns.

"Your Majesty, Lord Eldest Sun. This steamed bun has the thing that the minister said. After kneading, shaping, and then steaming on top of a pot of water for two quarters of an hour, it is ready to eat, and the thing that the minister said is called alkali, which is extracted from alkaline ground. It is processed and added to the flour. It can make the flour swell, and after steaming in the pot, the body size is nearly doubled. And this steamed bun tastes better than this flour cake without alkali for people's health. Of course, this benefit is only a few minor changes. Steamed bread is used to satisfy hunger, no matter how good it is, it will not be like these cakes, and after eating too much, the stomach always feels heavy, "the one that uses alkali is called the flour, and the one that does not use the alkali is called the dead noodles." Later generations always heard the old man say that dead noodles should not be eaten too much, and it is not good for people, so Ding Yi also said this to a few people.

"Your Majesty can try this steamed bun, these buns next to it are added with some vegetables, and it tastes more delicious."

Chen Hong stepped forward to test the poison, and then he was relieved to hand it over to Li Er. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. Ding Yi also expressed his understanding, after all, alkali is still unfamiliar to Li Er.

Several people took a steamed bun, and Ding Yi was firing fiercely at the bun at the moment

"Shi Pinghou, what is this alkali and what is it for" Fang Xuanling also smoothed the water at this moment and asked.

"Condensate Stone, I don't know if Your Majesty and your lords know"

"You mean the condensate stone used as medicine," said Eldest Sun Wuji.

"Well, yes, this alkali and condensate are excavated from alkaline ground, but this alkali is extracted from it."

Li Er, who finished eating steamed buns, took a sip of the teacup, and his mouth was a little dry. It's just that this steamed bun tastes sweet and delicious, but Ding Yi, who has eaten a mouthful of oil, said with disdain: "You said that this alkali can make dough and make the flour swell." This stuff doesn't do much, it's just a seasoning. ”

Ding Yi was in a hurry, and this Li Er raised the bar with me again

"Your Majesty, this alkali is not so simple as making dough, I call it, baking soda. And this alkali is also useful for other uses."

Li Er said disdainfully: "What's the use" has to provoke this kid, otherwise he won't answer honestly.

Sure enough, still young

"Your Majesty, this alkali can be used to make paper, and it can remove debris from the pulp that cannot be found by the human eye. Stone can also be used to cut stone, and cement can be added to make it more viscous. Used as a medicine, it can also produce a pesticide to eliminate pests in the field, such as locusts, and many uses can also produce something called sodium cyanide with alkali, which can be used as a dye and can also be used as a quenching of steel. There are other uses, and the minister can't finish talking for a while," Ding Yi hurriedly picked up a few things and explained them to Li Er.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, why did you wait until now" Suddenly Li Er became angry, Ding Yi couldn't figure out what it meant, Li Er continued: "Do you know that many people died because of the locust plague last year, if you said it earlier, those people of the Tang Dynasty who starved to death because of the locust plague would not starve to death, but you still bargained with me because of your selfish desire to build a city."

Why are you doing it, Changsun Wuji also looked sad and angry, but he comforted Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, Ding Yi only arrived in Chang'an this year, and he is not to blame for this."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Du Ruhui Fang Xuanling also stood up and persuaded,

Li Er was angry, "Where is your hometown, why was Datang swept by the locust plague, but you were indifferent, if you took out the pesticide, how could my Datang suffer this catastrophe" He was said to be in the wrong position because of the locust plague, and the heavens punished him, so he also issued an edict for himself and ate locusts

It's just that now let Ding Yi explain where his hometown is, and how to explain it, can I say that this pesticide only existed more than 1,300 years ago?

"Your Majesty, I have heard about this matter. In this regard, the minister is also deeply saddened, but now let the minister tell where his hometown is, Your Majesty might as well cut off my head, if the minister can find it, he will not watch the people of the Tang Dynasty suffer, and be indifferent"

"You really don't dare to kill you," Li Er was furious.

"Your Majesty, I can't help Ding Yi to make great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, how can I punish him for this matter. He was still a child, and he spoke without measure. Your Majesty can't afford to deal with him, wow" Du Ruhui hurriedly dissuaded Li Er, why is this Ding kid so blind

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling persuaded Ding Yi and asked Ding Yi to apologize to Li Er and admit his mistake. Ding Yiyi didn't know what to do for a while, and now he told Li Er that he was from more than 1,300 years later, and he would definitely be hacked to death with a knife, but how to explain it if he didn't say it

"Your Majesty, the hometown of the Marquis of Shiping cannot be found. But he is here, is he still afraid that he will not be able to make the pesticide that can kill locusts" Fang Xuanling saw that he couldn't persuade Ding Yi, so he reminded Li Er.

Ding Yiyi immediately thought about it when he heard it, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, although the minister's hometown can't be found, but there are still ministers here, the minister will teach all the things he has learned, so that I can have more learned people like the minister in the Tang Dynasty, and the minister can make a military order, and within 20 years, I will definitely develop the pesticide and other things, so that my Datang will no longer be harmed by locusts, so that my people in the Tang Dynasty will no longer starve to death" After 20 years, I can't say where I am, even if I can't go back, there is a system, it is estimated that pesticides should be made

When Li Er heard this, he said in a somewhat soothing tone: "Twenty years is too long"

"Your Majesty, I really can't be shorter anymore I Datang now know this knowledge, except for the ministers, there is no one in this way of chemistry, and it is full of dangers. Chen alone is really powerless, and now he says that in the past 20 years, he has also taught a group of students who studied chemistry. Then take them to develop "pesticides are so easy to get, you should be Chinese cabbage."

"I have approved the construction of the city"

"Ten Years of His Majesty"
