When the price of the Heavenly Sword continued to climb and there was no auction yet, Dai Yan already knew what large-scale steelmaking meant for this era. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If a few more Heavenly Swords come out and let the people of Chu know that what they got at such a great cost is just an ordinary steel sword, the State of Chu will definitely jump up, and I am afraid that Song State and Tao Qiu will face annihilation at that time!

At first, he wanted to study more ways to refine iron as a restriction on what he could sell, but then he realized that he was thinking a little too much.

Perhaps because he used graphite crucibles, the liquid iron he got from liquid iron at the beginning was indeed high-quality steel. However, once a certain time limit has passed, most of the extracted from this method is pig iron!

Dai Yan guessed that this should be the reason why the quality of the graphite crucible is not good, and the carbon in it has begun to gradually penetrate into the molten iron. He poured all of this extra pig iron into various items and began to sell them.

Among them, there are naturally iron swords and bows and crossbows that all countries want, but the iron products sold by Dai Yan are more used as daily necessities.

Dai Yan did this, in fact, because at this time, the whole world Han Tie occupied too much of the market, and Dai Yan had to find another way to break the monopoly of Han Tie!

Today, Taoqiu has become a super city of this era, and after having enough fuel coal, Taoqiu citizens have begun to be relieved from the life of obtaining fuel from outside the city. They also began to have more time to spend on other things, and the scarcity of kitchen utensils began to limit their lives.

In this era, kitchen utensils in people's hands are also extremely rare in the eyes of Dai Yan. Although there are many types of kitchenware, there are dozens of kitchenware such as ding, mustache, gui, retort, ring, dun, etc., but in Dai Yan's eyes, there are only three kinds of these kitchenware: for cooking, steaming, and for serving food!

And after Dai Yan traveled to this era, his life as a nobleman should be very good? But this is also relative to the common people of this era! Although there are many kinds of food eaten every day, and there is also a lot of meat, it is either steamed or boiled! And Dai Yan has long been fed up with this kind of day of eating "hot pot" every day!

He wants to eat fried meat with chili! Although at this time, chili peppers are still on the American continent on the other side of the ocean, and his wish is destined to be unfulfilled, but it is good to let him taste the taste of fried meat again!

Therefore, the first thing he thought of using iron to make daily necessities was to make iron pots!

Since pig iron could not be forged, Dai Yan could only choose to use the method of sand casting to make iron pots, which is the method of pouring liquid molten iron into a specific sand mold to make iron pots.

When the first iron pot was manufactured, he personally took out the first iron pot of this era, put it on a special coal stove, and disregarded the rules of "gentlemen are far away from cooking" in this era, and personally ran to the kitchen to fry a plate of fried meat with bamboo shoots for himself!

Thanks to this era of oppression, civilizations have rarely communicated with each other. At this time, not only did there be no common chili peppers in the world, but even radishes and garlic were obtained by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty through the Western Regions! And the vegetables of this era, in the eyes of a traveler like Dai Yan, are just wild vegetables, and they are not suitable for stir-frying. Dai Yan had no choice but to use the most common bamboo shoots of this era as the first dish to be fried.

Bamboo shoots are the freshest bamboo shoots, and the meat is also the most tender tenderloin from a freshly slaughtered pig. Dai Yan washed all of them, cut them into slices, added water to the iron pot, boiled them, put the bamboo shoots into it and cooked them, and then took out the bamboo shoots; After processing the bamboo shoots, he selected a piece of fat from the pig, and fried the pork in an iron pot to get lard; After having the lard, he chopped the ginger and stir-fried it in the hot lard, and when it was slightly fragrant, Dai Yan put the most tender tenderloin slices into the iron pot and stir-fried; Stir-fry until the pork changes color, Dai Yan adds salt and vinegar to the pot, stir-fry it evenly, and then add the cooked bamboo shoots after the meat slices are flavored; Let the bamboo shoots and meat slices mix and stir-fry for a few minutes to make the two ingredients mix together perfectly, and then Dai Yanfang got up from the pot and put the fried meat with bamboo shoots on a clay plate.

Finally, Dai Yan sprinkled the unique wild onions of this era on the cooked bamboo shoot fried meat, and the first bamboo shoot fried meat in history was completed!

To be honest, because of the limitations of ingredients in this era, coupled with the fact that there is a lot of gap between the iron pot made for the first time and the iron pot of later generations, and Dai Yan's rustiness when he returned to the kitchen after seven years, this bamboo shoot fried meat still has a lot of defects, but smelling the fragrance it exudes has already made Dai Yan excited!

Dai Yan picked up the chopsticks, and in the kitchen of this Yi mansion, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The most tender tenderloin is a little stiff to chew, and even Dai Yan's cooking skills are not good and he burns it a little, causing it to be slightly bitter, but when the taste of this fried meat swirls on the tip of his tongue, this familiar taste makes him immediately burst into tears!

If someone asked Dai Yan why he was crying, he would definitely reply at this time: Because this piece of meat reminds me of home. If someone asks Dai Yan what this piece of meat tastes like, Dai Yan will definitely answer: This is the taste of happiness!

However, in the present world of this first fried meat with bamboo shoots, no one wanted to understand Dai Yan's feelings, but it attracted a gluttonous ghost who grabbed food with him!

As soon as this unique fragrance wafted in the Yi Mansion, it immediately attracted Princess Zhao Guo, the hostess of Taoqiu, who had just returned to the mansion!

Her sense of smell, which is more sensitive than that of a dog, immediately found the source of this fragrance, the kitchen of the Yi Mansion. When she arrived in the kitchen, she saw a group of cooks standing awkwardly near her husband, who was crying and eating a portion of pork roasted (Zhao Xue's understanding) mixed with bamboo shoots.

She immediately walked up to Dai Yan's side with a curious look and asked him, "What delicious things are you eating, and you are crying after eating?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just fried meat with bamboo shoots." When Dai Yan saw his wife coming, he finally restrained his emotions and replied calmly.

Zhao Xue didn't pay attention to his emotional changes, but focused on this plate of fried meat with bamboo shoots. Immediately, she found a pair of chopsticks by herself, picked up the fried meat and ate it!

As soon as the fried pork entered her mouth, she immediately felt her taste buds bloom, how could this plate of pork be so delicious? Her face was full of enjoyment, and her heart was extremely comfortable!

However, when she saw that Dai Yan was also continuing to eat, she immediately sped up her movements and began to quickly digest the fried meat with bamboo shoots on the plate!

The pottery plate quickly bottomed out, but Zhao Xue was still not satisfied with eating, she immediately ordered the chefs around her: "Make another barbecue like this, I still want to eat it!" ”

The chefs around were even more embarrassed at this time, and one of the leaders stood up and said to Zhao Xue: "Mastermother, this plate of fried meat with bamboo shoots was made by the lord himself, and we won't do it at all!" ”

Zhao Xue immediately said to Dai Yan in front of him: "Then you go ahead and make another stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, I still have to eat it!" ”

Dai Yan immediately retorted: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, I am dignified Tao Qiujun, how can I do the work of cooking?" What's more, I still have important things to do today, I have summoned the chief officials of all districts of Taoqiu to gather in the Yi Mansion to discuss important matters! ”

Hearing this, the princess of Zhao immediately went crazy: "If you don't do it, then don't you want to enter my room tonight!" In the future, Xiaorou and them, you don't want to touch them again! ”

When Dai Yan heard this, he was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I was joking just now, Xijun wants to eat fried meat, how can I not make it for you!" ”

So the dignified Tao Qiujun could only continue to be a chef and made another stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots. This time, he didn't even have the qualifications to taste the dishes he made!

And after this fried meat was eaten by Zhao Xue, the princess's greedy talent was completely stimulated, and she had already eaten one and a half fried pork with bamboo shoots, and she still wanted it!

Faced with this scene, Dai Yan could only sigh unlucky: Why did I marry such a delicious and unruly princess blindly?

He made five servings of fried meat for Zhao Xue in a row, and when her stomach was round, he was satisfied and asked the servants to lead her back to the room. At this time, the chief officials of the various districts of Taoqiu have been waiting in the Yi Mansion for almost half an hour!

As soon as Dai Yan saw these long-awaited district chiefs, he said directly to them: "I have summoned you here to tell you about the two important iron products that I am going to sell in Taoqiu, namely iron pots and kitchen knives... ”

Soon after, two kinds of special kitchen utensils appeared: iron pots and kitchen knives in the self-operated shops of Taoqiu-eup. As soon as these two kitchenware recipes appeared, they immediately triggered a frantic scramble among the entire Taoqiu citizens!

Because the whole Taoqiu is preaching one thing: the iron pot, a kitchenware that can fry food, is extremely delicious! And Tao Qiujun used the first iron pot to make fried meat, and wanted to swallow it alone, but was finally discovered by Taoqiu's mother, and was forced to make five fried meat in succession, and the mess spread throughout Taoqiu!

I have to say that the advertisements made by the rumors of the lord and the lord are different! This new type of kitchenware iron pot, which only made a simple announcement in Taoqiu Daily, was immediately sought after by the entire Taoqiu!

Even the kitchen knives with iron, as well as the iron spatulas that were introduced one after another, were also sought after by the citizens of Taoqiu! This kind of inexpensive kitchenware immediately became a must-have item for every family, and even in the near future, as long as the Taoqiu people got married, if there was no iron pot and kitchen knife in the levy and dowry, the negotiated marriage contract would directly regret the marriage!

And the iron kitchenware, as well as the troubles that happened to Dai Yan, soon spread all over the world with the footsteps of Taoqiu merchants, which made iron products quickly sought after by people all over the world! Because it is purely kitchenware, a civilian product, it is not as restricted as the buying and selling of weapons by countries.

And the sales object of iron pots and kitchen knives is all people in the world, any family, need this kind of convenient kitchenware! Therefore, its demand is almost unlimited relative to the iron production at this time! Soon, the profits of iron kitchenware began to skyrocket, and soon beat the profits of tea and paper, becoming the largest source of wealth for the entire Taoqiu industry!

And the sales of iron kitchenware have also made Han Railway, which monopolizes the whole world, a real competitor appear!
