Chapter 70: Fire Command
"Don't you know how to put oil in your stir-fry?" Zhao Huan asked.
"Oil?" This statement shocked the store, and the store asked suspiciously, "What oil?" ”
"You can use lard or soybean oil!" Zhao Huan said that he suddenly realized a problem, stir-frying vegetables with oil was a matter after the Song Dynasty, although it began to rise in the Song Dynasty, but at this time, this way of cooking was still regarded as a secret recipe treasure by the imperial chef in the palace, and it did not spread among the people.
"This guest officer, you are just joking, where does the oil come from on this pig, it is all meat, as for soybean oil, it is all used to light wax, how can this thing be eaten." The shopkeeper said with a smile, the meaning is obvious, that is, what you said is not right, so don't get an axe here.
"Why is there no oil on the pig, you put those white meat fat in a pot and heat it, and it will soon turn into oil, and it must taste excellent when you use this oil to cook." Zhao Huan said.
"Don't talk nonsense, looking at you like this, you don't look like a person who can cook, but you are here to teach us to cook, you are really good at talking!" A diner next to him sarcastically said.
"That's it, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, have you ever cooked?" Another diner helped.
"Eat if you like, leave if you don't like to eat, don't affect us all here." A diner said to Zhao Huan.
Cheng Dafu heard everyone say this about Zhao Huan, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was stopped by Zhao Huan and said: "Right or wrong, it's not what I say, and it's not what you say, just give it a try." ”
Everyone didn't believe in evil, especially the diners, who felt that Zhao Huan didn't know how to cook, so they just made a big splash here, so they encouraged the restaurant to give it a try.
The soybean oil store didn't have it, but the lard happened to have a piece, so the store simply took it and gave it a try.
After the pig fat of Baihuahua is put in the pot and baked at high temperature, a layer of oil and water quickly melts out, and with the increase in temperature, the oil begins to crack, and then the fragrance of the oil also wafts out.
"The oil is already boiling, you can start stir-frying!" Zhao Huan reminded.
In fact, at this point, when the fragrance wafted out, everyone present already understood that what Zhao Huan said was not a lie.
The shopkeeper woke up like a dream, and hurriedly put the cut vegetables into the pot, and the rest of the steps didn't need Zhao Huan to teach him, he was a professional cook. This stir-fry in oil was commonplace for later generations, but in the Song Dynasty, this was really a treatment that only the royal family could enjoy in the imperial dining room.
Zhao Huan: This can be regarded as promoting the process of folk Chinese cuisine.
Because of Zhao Huan's order, the dishes made by the store became more delicious, in order to thank Zhao Huan, he specially made a table of specialty dishes for Zhao Huan for free, and this time the dishes were fried in oil.
Zhao Huan didn't shirk either, he was happy in his heart, and after eating a homely meal, he hurriedly took Cheng Dafu to the Ordnance Department.
In the hall of the Ordnance Department, Zhao Huan saw Wang Yuqing, an old Taoist priest with a scruffy beard, and saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a flower who asked for food, but his mental state was excellent, and his eyes seemed to be glowing.
"Your Majesty, you're finally here!" After Wang Yuqing saw Zhao Huan, he immediately reached over and pulled Zhao Huan's sleeve, and said as he walked: "Your Majesty, come and take a look with me, according to what you said, what we have developed." ”
"Bold, rude!" Seeing this, Cheng Dafu immediately reprimanded loudly.
Wang Yuqing realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly let go of Zhao Huan's sleeve and was about to salute, but was stopped by Zhao Huan and said, "I forgive you for your innocence, take me to see your research results!" ”
Wang Yuqing now seems to have been fascinated by the development of this firearm, and after the successful development, at this time, he is like a child who shows off his research results, and wants to demonstrate it to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan didn't understand the distance of this fire system, but just gave Wang Yuqing a model and suggestions, but he didn't expect to be studied by him so quickly.
"This is the command that I asked those blacksmiths to build according to the drawings given by His Majesty, and after filling it with gunpowder, it can shoot enemies three hundred paces away, this thing is really amazing." Wang Yuqing said as he handed Zhao Huan a fire tong and said, "I'll show it to Your Majesty." ”
In fact, the fire system developed by Wang Yuqing is not a musket in the real sense, but more like a firefly bullet in later generations, in an iron pipe with the thickness of a baby's arm, a gunpowder bullet is stuffed in, and then the fuse is ignited, this gunpowder bullet is actually divided into two ends, and after the fuze is ignited, the gunpowder bullet behind it explodes, so as to launch the gunpowder bullet in front.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a small tree three hundred paces away in front of it snapped, and there were bursts of green smoke at the break in the trunk.
"Escort!" This sudden voice frightened Cheng Dafu, he rushed to Zhao Huan, firmly protected Zhao Huan, and said, "Your Majesty, go quickly, it's dangerous here." ”
Zhao Huan is not only full of black lines.
"Cheng Dafu, don't be nervous, I'm fine!" Zhao Huan also felt the sincerity of this great wealth, and said, "You should step back first." ”
Cheng Dafu was still a little worried about Zhao Huan's comfort, after all, the power of this thing was too terrifying, it was a trunk with the thickness of the bowl, and it was directly shot off, if it was shot at the person's body, it wouldn't directly smash the person.
"Your Majesty, how's the effect?" Wang Yuqing said very proudly, like a child waiting for praise.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "So-so!" ”
Wang Yuqing was a little unhappy and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say anything sincerely. ”
Zhao Huan said: "This thing, it can only be said that it can be used so-so, such a large fire control, it is not very convenient to carry it on the march, and if the fire control is reduced, there will be less explosives that can be weighed, so that there is no power, am I right?" ”
When Wang Yuqing heard what Zhao Huan said, he frowned and said, "This in itself is an unsolvable problem, and I have also tried it hundreds of times before I chose this thick and thin fire control." Wang Yuqing was a little unhappy, her eyes rolled and she said, "Is there any better idea that Your Majesty can't have?" ”
Wang Yuqing's small action naturally did not avoid Zhao Huan's eyes, and Zhao Huan did not hide it, and said: "Actually, it is very simple, I told you before, you can solve this problem from two aspects." ”
