Wheat has been cultivated in China for a long time, but it has not been popularized, and millet was the main staple food in ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Emperor Cheng, the wheat in the Guanzhong area was popularized under the promotion of the famous agronomist Pan Shengzhi, but this popularity was also temporary, with the change of dynasties there are still high ~ tide and trough. Wheat was still called "hybrid" or "miscellaneous crop" until the Tang Dynasty, and when the imperial court collected taxes, it also harvested millet, and only where millet was not produced, wheat was harvested, and wheat was not popularized again until the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. There is another crop that can be used to compare and verify the "miscellaneous crop" status of wheat, and that is cotton, which has only taken a few decades from the beginning of its attention to popularization, and it continues to this day. (Xie Fangde, a man at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, once mentioned in a poem that there was no cotton in Jiangdong at that time, but in 1289, the year of his death, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty set up a kapok lifting division in Jiangdong and other places, and collected more than 100,000 cotton cloth from the people every year.) )

Since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has been a large agricultural country, and traditional agriculture emphasizes "hybrid planting", that is, planting as many crops as possible to prevent floods and droughts. This is also the time when there is no way, because in ancient times, irrigation and drainage technology was not as developed as it is now, and there was a shortage of fertilizer, so at that time, it was basically to watch the sky to eat, God was in a good mood, everyone ate a little, God was in a bad mood, and it would be good to have a bowl of gruel to drink. In ancient times, officials and people had a kind of fear of God, and when there was a solar eclipse, they had to review themselves, and find out a minister who misbehaved to top the tank, unlike now, people and disasters are all resentful of Lei Gong, and they are not afraid of chopping to death! Pull away, back to the topic.

With the use of fire, although people's diet has made a qualitative leap, this is only relative to "Ru Mao drinking blood". Cooking cooking, the reason why it is called cooking, in ancient times, it was mostly cooking, and there was no cooking skills such as frying and frying, to put it bluntly, that is, boiling, sprinkling a little salt, Manchu and Han full banquets, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, etc. are relatively backward things. Roasting is an exception, since ancient times, the difference is that in ancient times, only salt was sprinkled, in order to be able to eat the stomach as the standard, and the roast in the kitchen is to put a lot of seasonings, to taste as the standard, the origin of roast duck was the earliest in the Wu Zetian period, but also confirmed this from the side.

The pasta is similar, and in ancient times, rice was the main food, including millet porridge and rice. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were steamed cakes, a variety of grains were ground and mixed together and steamed, and they were not peeled, and the taste was not very good. Don't peel it, it may also be a reason why wheat is not popular, at that time it was all boiled and eaten, the taste, you can try it if you are curious, absolutely not dripping. As for why it can be ground but not peeled, because there was no basket at that time, the earliest origin of the basket was in the Song Dynasty, and the ancients cherished the grain, since the skin has been peeled off, then there is no need to waste this layer inside, so few people think about grinding the grain again.

Explain the appearance of the basket (here and the above "basket" refers to the noodle basket of the basket), Yang Guang is tyrannical, the country is rich and the people are poor, the people are not doing well, and they have no heart to tinker with fine food. Although the Tang Dynasty had the "rule of Zhenguan", a large part of this prosperous era was established by stepping on the shoulders of the Sui Dynasty. Why? Although the Tang Dynasty was rich in the people and the taxes were low, the grain in the treasury was basically inherited from the former Sui Dynasty, otherwise Li Er would not have been able to drum up a prosperous era so easily. Why did Li Er ask Empress Xiao which one was stronger than Yang Guang? Why does Li Er often discuss with the ministers of the former Sui? Ho He thinks that Li Er is still a little unconfident, a very simple data - population, in the Tang Dynasty in 289 years, there were several prosperous times, but he has never been able to catch up with a Sui Dynasty that has existed for 37 years. It can be seen that the common people have less "wars", and they just have food to eat, and of course they will not have the heart to tinker with exquisite food. In the Song Dynasty, there was a "Lantern Festival" among the people, and those who knew the Lantern Festival method must know that this thing should use fine noodles, so the Song Dynasty already had a basket. At the same time, hoe He also avenged the grievances of the "snot Song", it is indeed not easy to resist the Mongolian cavalry with infantry for many years, and there is no princess in the 319 years of the Song Dynasty! Even if you pay reparations for defeat, you don't have to exchange peace for such degrading things!

It's back to the point. (The reason why I say this is also to dig a hole.) ),

After the little brothers said goodbye, it was Jin Yu's turn to worry, the reason was very simple, there was no flour these days! Seeing some ancient wearers coming over to do this and do that, Jin Yu was speechless, he had no intention of complaining, and he relied on himself.

The snacks that Jin Yu made by himself and the ones used in the kitchen were all ground out by him at his orders, and they were not peeled, so they could only be said to be improvised. But this time Jin Yu didn't want to make do, missing Yang Ying's birthday, Jin Yu felt very guilty, Jin Yu planned to give Yang Ying the best day in the future, at least in terms of diet. Although Li Ke promised this time that he would do his best, it was more meaningful for Jin Yu to be a practicing hand, and maybe he could open a dim sum shop or something by the way.

There is a stone mill in the yard, hoe He grinded a little flour by himself a while ago, and now he basically eats it, as for why he didn't think of making a dough basket at that time, the reason is very simple - no! Now the situation is different, with such a carpenter master as Taishi, he can't really build his craftsmanship.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. An oven is indispensable for making snacks, right? If you don't have an electric oven these days, then use charcoal to bake! But this oven is going to do it, right? Just put the fire sickle away first, and get all the utensils that need to be prepared. In those days, there was no welding technology, so it was cast in one piece. How did he know that after Jin Yu explained his intention to the blacksmith, who knew that the blacksmith shook his head vigorously, it was impossible to do it! Why? It is too difficult to turn into molten iron, especially when it is cast into a large cauldron.

Just as Jin Yu was struggling, the blacksmith asked tentatively: "I wonder if the tools that Gongzi needs can be cast in copper?" ā€

"Okay, just a little thicker." Jin Yu nodded, why did you forget about this? The Shang Dynasty was able to cast Simu Wuding, why not in the early Tang Dynasty? In addition, copper is less active than iron, so there is no need to worry about seeping into food.

Of course the blacksmith is willing, the thicker this thing is, the easier it is to make, and only when it is thin can the craft be examined.

After giving it to Taishi and the blacksmith to do, Jin Woo continued to think about which kinds of dim sum to start with.

Although wheat is grown in much less quantity than rice, its value is lower than that of rice, after all, it is a miscellaneous grain that people do not like to eat. There can be some cost advantages in this point, but oil and sugar are indispensable for any snack, right? Some even use eggs, the price of these things is not low, it seems that they can only take the route of high-level nobles. In addition to shaved ice and fire sickles, the soaps and snacks that you make yourself are high consumption, or luxury goods, not to mention the high cost, and the production is not guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Jin Yu shook his head, it was not easy to mix in ancient times, so it was cheaper to eat rice, and it was not easy to eat a snack. What is it like hereafter? Half a catty of rice, a processing fee of five cents, you can burst a pot of rice flowers, a basket of white flowers, cheap and affordable, and delicious.

Popcorn? Jin Yu seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his head suddenly brightened, is there anything more low-cost, high-profit, and quick-effective than this? All you need is a few sets of utensils and some sugar, which is definitely better than the previous ones!

What is it called? It's called inspiration! No wonder Thomas Edison said, "Success is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration, but that 1 percent inspiration is more important!" Jin Yu boasted proudly on the way to the backyard to inform the blacksmith to try out a set of tools. (One percent of the inspiration is more important, not self-compilation, it is indeed Edison's original words, but it was emasculated by the teacher for his own needs.) )

Jin Yu came to the backyard, wasted his tongue for a long time, and pasted a model with mud, so that the blacksmith with a wooden face understood what this popcorn machine looked like.

"What's your name?" Jin Yu asked the blacksmith, it is taboo to not know the soldiers.

"Little Feng is sturdy." The middle-aged man looked at Jin Yu and asked, and replied with sincere fear.

"Good name!" Jin Yu praised it, it was strong, and when you saw the tendon meat, you knew that it was very strong! Although Feng Jieshi is honest, but with Jin Yu's half-day speech, Jin Yu also knows that this Feng Jieshi is not as worry-free as Taishi, because he is indeed a little stupid'''''' but there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so Jin Yu tempted: "Blacksmith Feng, if you can cast the two artifacts that this son said, this son will allow you to be worshiped by the Jin family, and the treatment will be the same as Taishi!" ā€

"The small one must be made for Childe!" Feng Jieshi is a little stupid, but not stupid, seeing Jin Yu bloom such a high bonus, he was also quite moved, and he expressed his attitude excitedly at the moment.

"Okay, let's do it!" Jin Yu saw that this trick worked and encouraged him. Jin Yu likes honest people, because honest people are honest and easy to satisfy.

When it was dark, Cheng Huaimo came. From the moment he entered the door, he had a lewd smile, and Hu Yue was smiling. When he came to the backyard alone with Jin Yu, Cheng Huaimo laughed directly, holding his stomach and lying on Jin Yu's recliner and twitching, his voice was intermittent, as if he was about to lose his breath, and tears were squeezed out of his eyes.

"What's wrong? Beware of joy and sorrow! Jin Yu didn't know what funny things Cheng Huaimo had encountered, so he couldn't experience his happiness.

Cheng Huaimo just filled a mouthful of shaved ice, and immediately burst out laughing again, and said to Jin Yu intermittently: "I'm laughing to death, haha" '' I met Huaiyu today, this kid secretly said to the little brother '''Haha'' said that he had hair under him, haha''' Ask the little brother what's the matter, is he sick, haha'''"

"Poof~" When Jin Yu heard this, he also squirted out the shaved ice in his mouth, this Qin Huaiyu is too thunderous, right? Quite a nerd! "What did you tell him?"

"Little brother said" "Little brother said" "Haha" Cheng Huaimo covered his stomach with one hand, and slapped the recliner a few times with the other hand, it seemed to be really funny, "The little brother said that this is indeed a disease, and you must quickly pull it out" "Haha" "Otherwise, it will be full of body" "Haha"

When Jin Yu heard this, he also laughed breathlessly, this Cheng Huaimo is too good at tricks, right? Can you think of this kind of deceptive trick?

The laughter of the two drifted far away, startling a group of homecoming sparrows. Life is so happy.
