Chapter 264: The Suffering People, and the Emperor's Ambition
When Changsun Sheng and his party continued to march towards the north, the people who delivered the news from all walks of life also set off from Jiangdu and rushed in all directions.
It's like a pebble being thrown into the calm surface of a lake, and ripples emerge from where the pebble fell and spread out towards the surroundings.
Dasui, who was about to usher in the New Year's Festival, suddenly became uneasy.
Many people who were originally happy and prepared for the New Year's Festival suddenly lost their mood.
Because of the mobilization of so many soldiers and horses, there must be sufficient food, grass and ordnance as support.
And in order to transport these things, the government must also call in a large number of laborers.
Recalling the excavation of the canal, the construction of the new capital of Luoyang, and the various things that have been experienced over the years, there is no need to say much, these people at the bottom know that as soon as this move comes out, I don't know how many families will be separated because of this.
I don't know how many people will lose their sons, their husbands, their fathers......
Their fears were not wrong at all, and as soon as the news broke, the local officials began to act on a large scale.
The urging is tight, and they don't care if the New Year is approaching or not, and whether the weather is cold.
How can there be such a big thing in the affairs of these promotion and small people, and the official position under his ass is important?
Among them, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei were the most called.
The winter of the sixth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty was a cold and bleak winter.
Not only is the sky bleak, but most of the people living under this sky are also gloomy.
Yang Guang, who was sitting in Jiangdu Palace and was ambitiously planning various things, did not see this, there was no gloom in his eyes, dark clouds were thick, and there was just an infinite light.
After conquering Goguryeo, many of his ambitions could be realized, and he also completed some of the plans in his heart.
More importantly, he can use his actual actions to prove to the world that what Emperor Wen can't do has been done by himself!
He has surpassed Emperor Wen!
It is the right thing to get rid of the crown prince Yang Yong and ascend the throne as emperor!
If this were not the case, how could the Great Sui Dynasty usher in such a prosperous era?
Under the leadership of an incomparably wise emperor, the Great Sui will surely win victory after victory!
It will become a dynasty that surpasses all dynasties and become a legend in history!
In the winter of the sixth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who was sitting in the palace of Jiangdu, recalled his plan and was full of ambition......
Mayi County, Qingque Village.
There was smoke and fire in the kitchen of Han Cheng's house, and it looked steaming.
The smell of food fills the kitchen.
Han Xiaoya sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, and from time to time she would stand up and look into the pot, looking impatient.
Lighting a fire in winter is an extremely sought-after job, not only because Han Cheng's cooking is delicious, but also because it is very warm to burn a fire here.
Han Cheng, who was standing on the edge of the pot, was holding a spatula in his hand, constantly stirring in the pot.
The contents of the pot collided with the spatula and the pot, making a rattling sound.
In the midst of this sound, there will be a crackling sound from time to time.
As these crackling sounds sound, some small flowers will appear in the pot.
These flowers, of course, are not real flowers, but corn flowers.
Corn that was originally only a small amount of corn has grown many times since it burst into bloom by heating.
It is not a difficult thing to make corn bloom, especially in later generations.
As the uncle on the bicycle took down the black thing that looked like a cannonball, which was roasted on the fire, and kicked it hard, and after a loud bang, the heat rose up, and the countless corn contained in it had already bloomed.
Of course, in that era, there were not many fried corn flowers, and most people fried them with rice flowers.
In this era, Han Cheng didn't have the advanced equipment like a cannonball like a bicycle uncle, but he could still have a way to burst corn into flowers.
This is done by heating it in a pot and letting it bloom.
Of course, there is still a certain amount of attention when heating, and you can't put corn directly into the pot to heat.
Doing so will not give you any satisfactory results, other than scorching the corn.
There is some tool that needs to be used here, and that tool is sand.
Just like the chestnuts that are commonly fried in sugar on the street, they are not fried directly, but need to be mixed with sand in them.
The purpose of this is to heat the pan more evenly.
And because it is not in direct contact with the bottom of the pot, it can avoid these things, which will burn and break.
The pot that was being stirred by Han Cheng was also filled with sand.
This is the washed sand he got from the river.
In order to better separate the sand from the burst corn, he also put some oil in it, stir-fried the sand first, so that the sand became hot, and the surface was stained with a layer of oil, and then poured the corn into it.
The reason why I want to do these things is because there are gluttonous little girls in the house, and on the other hand, it is about to celebrate the New Year.
There are very few things that can be called snacks at this time.
Of course, given that many families still can't eat enough, snacks are even more extravagant in this era.
But it's the New Year, and there's always something to come up with.
Han Cheng didn't have time to spake before, but now that he has time, he will take the time to prepare to make this kind of food and add some color to the upcoming New Year's Festival in the future.
In Xiaoya's expectation, all the corn in the pot finally burst into flowers.
Han Chengcheng got them from the pot to the inside of the pot along with the sand.
After waiting for a while and letting their temperature cool down a bit, I found a sieve and put the sand into the sieve along with the burst corn, and sifted back and forth.
The sand can continue to be used, and the more you use it, the better the sand will be.
So Han Cheng took a clay pot and continued it underneath, not letting the sand go to waste.
When choosing sand before, Han Chengcheng first sifted it with a sieve, and all the sand he chose was fine sand that could pass through the eyes of the sieve, so it was not troublesome to sift it at this time.
As he swayed, the sand leaked out of the sieve and into the clay pot below.
The popping corn flowers are in the sieve......
"Now, taste it and see if it's delicious."
Han Cheng took a big bowl, filled it with a full bowl, and handed it to the little girl who was already hungry with a smile......
