Chapter 52 Expensive Cooking Oil
Qin Ze grabbed Cheng Lao Demon stubbornly, so that a few people on the side couldn't help nodding, and said in his heart: This son is also refreshing, and there are not so many flowery intestines.
They thought that Qin Ze pulled Cheng Lao Demon in order for him to give a fair judgment, and Cheng Lao Demon knew that this guy was just thinking about making locusts into military food in front of everyone.
In the past few days, he has taken Qin Ze around to hang out, and finally let everyone know that he is just a bystander, and he doesn't know what Qin Ze is going to do at all. I just know that His Majesty sent me to study the new army rations.
But now, no matter how you look at it, Old Demon Cheng can see irrepressible ecstasy from Qin Ze's face.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, why was I so careless. In order to get away with it for a while, he fell into the trap of this kid.
"It's really something in the army, and we can't delay it." Cheng Lao Demon had a black face, almost about to run away, and said forcibly.
How could Qin Ze let him go?
Without saying a word, he stopped Cheng Lao Demon directly, and bent down to salute as soon as he vacated the ground.
"General, what the boys do is for the soldiers, and please ask the general to give an evaluation, don't chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Saying that, Qin Ze also glanced at it with a generous face, and Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu also looked anxious.
Although Cheng Laoyou was not in the selection team at the beginning, as a top officer, he didn't believe in his own words, so what could he do if he won the competition.
"General!"
Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu over there hurriedly stopped in front of Cheng Laoyou, and they also bent down to salute like Qin Ze.
But what I thought in my heart was: "I thought that this Master Changshi was the same as those scholars who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, but I didn't expect it to be so upright in my heart." ”
Qin Zeqiang pinched his hand with his hand, for fear that he would laugh out loud.
Especially when he saw the praise that Changshi on the side showed to himself, as well as the apologies on the faces of Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu, Qin Ze hated it even more.
Cheng Laoyou's lips squirmed, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Qin Ze, whose body trembled slightly.
"Bang!"
Cheng Lao Demon flew out again and kicked Qin Ze's ass.
I had the intention to tell the truth, but I held back.
If you say everything at this time, then you will only make yourself more passive at that time.
At this time, Cheng Laoyou suddenly remembered another sentence from Li Er: "This son has a very small heart, and he will never suffer losses, which is really difficult." ”
kicked it up, and Cheng Laoyou's mood was a little better.
But Qin Ze didn't hide this time, just stood there and waited for Old Demon Cheng to finish kicking.
This time, the old demon couldn't go at all, and the whole person was like a defeated rooster, quietly pestling there alone, looking really lonely.
Everyone waited for a while, and Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu's roast mutton was finally ready, and some were cut for each person, and no one served a little broth for them to taste.
If nothing else, they are much slower to make, and as for the taste......
In fact, this is unfair to Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu, because even if their roast mutton is really good, Cheng Laoyou and they are tired of eating it for a long time.
Especially Cheng Laoyou, Qin Ze heard Cheng Huailiang say that his family has to eat a sheep at every meal.
As for Qin Ze, who is south of the Yangtze River, let alone a meal and a sheep, he can't eat it even in ten days. I can't stand it, the mutton commotion.
Some people are attracted to it, while others are shunned.
And Qin Ze belongs to the latter category.
Cheng Lao You, their stomachs have long been able to hold on. At this time, when I saw the greasy roast mutton, not to mention the appetite, it was estimated that I would be a little sick to my stomach.
However, for the sake of justice, I still have to taste two bites, each of which takes a few bites of mutton, then takes a sip of broth, nods and stops eating.
Qin Ze saw their broth and cooked it for so long, it is estimated that the fishy smell of the pork has not disappeared. Not to mention the deliciousness.
Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu also noticed the change in everyone's faces, and they guessed a few points in their hearts, although they hadn't tasted it in person, they could smell a lot.
In terms of the smell of the food alone, they really lose.
Although Cheng Lao Demon looks like five big and three thick, his heart is very fine. Seeing the loneliness of the two, he stretched out his hand, patted the shoulders of the two and said, "We are compared to military rations, these things are nothing." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu were also happy.
"That's right, I'm comparing military rations with him, why do you want to worry about this?"
Qin Ze pouted and did not speak.
Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu rekindled their fighting spirit again because of Cheng Laoyou's words. Both of them are now twenty-one and twelve, and have been in the army for six years.
They don't believe that they will lose to a stunned boy with their own magical millet porridge.
Outcome......
"Ahem, that's how you eat?"
Changshi Song Fang watched Qin Ze pick up a bowl, add some fried flour to it, and then mix it with boiling water, even if it was ready. I can't help but ask.
Qin Ze nodded and said, "This thing has already been fried, just heat the water directly when you eat it." And this thing can be left out for at least a month. ”
The flour fried in oil not only has a very low moisture content in it, but also isolates the moisture because the surface of the flour has been browned.
If there is such a thing as a preservative, it is not a problem to leave it for three or four months, as evidenced by the instant noodles of later generations.
Qin Ze's words also aroused the curiosity of Cheng Laoyou and the others, and they all washed themselves with water.
The viscosity of the washed flour is completely at your disposal, and if you are willing not to say that the chopsticks will not fall, it is estimated that the chopsticks will not be able to insert them.
"Huh!"
Song Fang took a bite and let out an exclamation.
Although it is made of flour, it has a strong aroma of pork and an unknown burnt aroma. It tastes much better than any millet porridge.
Cheng Laoyou on the other side couldn't help nodding after eating, although the taste of this thing is not as good as the buns he ate before, but it is much better than millet porridge.
The most important thing is that it is easy to eat. It is completely possible to fry the flour during the march, and when there is a task, eat it directly with water.
As for the so-called sacs, the taste is even worse. But as soon as they heard Qin Ze die say that this thing could be kept for two months, several people's eyes widened one by one.
I have to say that Qin Ze's military rations are mainly concerned with the problem of preservation time, and the things he makes can be made at one time, and then they are very fast to eat.
Unlike millet porridge, it takes half an hour to cook the rice to rot. Many times on the battlefield, they simply can't wait for such a long time, and the soldiers eat half-cooked millet porridge.
But now it's different, Qin Ze's food is simply the best military food.
Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu on the side were also convinced at this time, and said to Qin Ze is salute: "In the future, I will be sent by the army lord." ”
"Don't worry, follow me and have a great future in the future." Qin Ze also said in return.
Cheng Laoyou, who was on the side, suddenly remembered something at this time, frowned and grabbed Qin Ze, who was buying people's hearts, and said, "Boy, your military food is indeed good, but it's not that simple. ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Ze was also stunned, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Cheng Laoyou pointed to the flour and said, "Oil, this thing needs a lot of oil." ”
"Actually, this thing can be done without oil, but the taste is worse. And it doesn't cost much oil! ”
Qin Ze pointed to the clay pot on the side. What was in it was lard, and he had just fried so much flour that it was only a few spoonfuls of lard.
"It's true that it's not much waste, but you have to know how many soldiers there are in Datang, so you can know how much oil you need." As soon as Cheng Laoyou's words came out, several other people also nodded in agreement, proving that he was right.
Although the flour can be fried directly, the taste is much worse than using oil, and Qin Ze wants to fry the locust powder again in the future, if that thing does not use oil, it is estimated that it will be a bit ......
Thinking about it, I don't do it endlessly, anyway, I always have to cross the threshold of oil, so it's better to have a good time.
Datang now only has animal fat and sesame oil, and there is also a kind of tung oil used for lighting, but this thing is only available in the palace, and it cannot be eaten.
It is impossible to fry this with sesame oil, although it will be very fragrant, but that thing is expensive, and I can't afford to use it at all.
Not to mention animal fat, which is also very expensive.
If there is another kind of oil Datang that can be obtained, it is soybean oil. Qin Ze discovered soybeans very early, but now they are still used to make tofu and eat them as rice.
The earliest soybean oil also appeared in the Song Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to animal fat, even sesame oil was not eaten, it was used to light everlasting lamps in temples, or as a spice.
Soybeans are very high in oil, and the yield is also very high, and his situation has always been very embarrassing. Because if you eat too much of this stuff, it will cause stomach bloating, and then you will unconsciously want to pass gas.
So it wasn't until the appearance of tofu that the embarrassing situation of soybeans was solved.
And what Qin Ze wants now is to use soybeans to squeeze oil, but he has eaten it, but he doesn't remember how to do it at all.
It doesn't seem to be an ordinary physical press, but it looks like it's going to be boiled in water.
But he didn't know, but he knew something.
"The system is up, and there is business."
Qin Ze said to the system angrily, except for the fact that this guy is interested in the wish value, he is as if he is dead at other times, and he doesn't say a word.
But as long as it involves wish points, this guy will instantly resurrect with full blood, and keep tempting Qin Ze to spend wish points.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Qin Ze's words, the voice of the system instantly sounded: "What is the host's wish?" ”
"How much does it cost to extract soybean oil?" Qin Ze unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he only had twenty wish points now, and he really couldn't afford to toss.
"Considering the initiative of the host, the service system only charges two wish points."
"Damn, you still have this kind of service, could it be that you still have coupons or something?"
