6 Improving life (ask for favorites, recommendations)
"But when I finished writing, I almost broke my arm! Looks like I'm going to have to get a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen or something. I don't feel anything when I practice writing with this brush, but writing long articles is definitely a kind of torture for people like me who are used to using a hard pen. ”
After a few days of hard work, Liu Hong wrote out all the later projects he knew, such as sugar, refined salt, tea, paper, glass, mirrors, cement, steelmaking, etc., and wrote hundreds of items freely. This is also thanks to the brush writing that he practiced for a period of time in his previous life, otherwise, so many words, in such a short time, he would definitely not be able to finish writing.
When Liu Zhong got these projects given to him by Liu Hong, Liu Zhong was completely dumbfounded.
After a few days of trial production, high wine, toilet water and soap have been made. And after testing, these things are pretty good. Liu Zhong can be sure that with these things, he will definitely be able to reverse the economic situation of the Hou Mansion, and this time will definitely not be too long.
The joy brought by those three projects hasn't gone down yet, but unexpectedly, Liu Hong sent him new projects, and there are hundreds of them, how can he not be surprised.
After the things were handed over to Liu Zhong, Liu Hong no longer cared about it, anyway, Liu Zhong was more experienced than him in dealing with these things. What can be done, what can't be done, what things need to be partnered with, what people to partner, these things are all clear by Liu Zhong, and they can definitely be dealt with, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
It's not that Liu Hong is irresponsible, although Liu Hong is a pleasure-hungry surname, but he is still very clear about the priorities of things. However, the projects that Liu Hong sorted out this time are different from toilet water, soap, and high wine, and they are definitely not things that can be made in the short term. Liu Hong was also a poor writer in later generations, although there were a lot of miscellaneous materials in his head, but he had never made them himself, and many things even he only knew what they were, not knowing why, let alone craftsmen who made them according to the methods he wrote. Therefore, to make those items, it must go through a lot of experiments, and it will definitely not produce results in the short term.
The long-term operation of these projects requires excellent overall planning skills and the ability to understand and coordinate all parties in the Hou Mansion, which Liu Hong does not have.
But fortunately, there are competent housekeepers in the Hou Mansion, so he doesn't need to worry about these things anymore. And he was busy for days, and he decided to get some good food and treat himself well. After all, his goal in life is to enjoy life well, and after the "capital" is enough, "arch a few more good cabbages" to make up for the "wounded heart" in his previous life.
Thinking of what he had eaten in the past few days, Liu Hong couldn't help frowning. According to him, it is to be blind to so many good materials.
The diet of the Han Dynasty has not yet been fully developed, and it is very different according to the richness of later generations. In this era, in addition to roasting and stewing, occasionally steaming, even frying is rare, let alone stir-frying.
If it's just a few tricks, it doesn't matter, Liu Hong thinks that he is not a golden nobleman, and he can tolerate the same. But the problem is that it is a very good dish, and the people who cook it are stunned not to put condiments in it, not only that, but even the salt is rarely put in, which makes this dish fishy and weird, and how unpalatable it is, how unpalatable it is.
This is not Liu Hong's pickiness, such a dish, people who have traveled over in later generations are extremely hungry, it's okay to eat one or two meals, if you eat all day long, don't say Liu Hong, it's a person who can't stand it. It's just that the dishes are not the right appetite, and neither are the staple foods, and in the past few days, I have eaten small rice every day, which makes Liu Hong, who is used to eating rice and white noodles all day long, how can he live.
A few days ago, Liu Hong was busy sorting out the project and had no time to tinker with food and drink, but now that he has time, Liu Hong will definitely not endure it any longer.
Just do it, anyway, eating and drinking this thing, it's very easy to change. After all, the ingredients of this era are quite excellent, and they are all green and pollution-free products. Such ingredients, in the future generations, are definitely special materials, and with Liu Hong's identity, it is difficult to say whether he can eat a meal by smashing pots and selling iron.
There is no shortage of ingredients, and the rest is the problem of condiments. In this era, few people have studied the problem of condiments, so it is impossible to buy condiments directly. However, Liu Hong knew that many condiments were used as medicinal materials in the early days, and it was very likely to find them in the pharmacy.
Medicine!
Hearing this, Liu Zhong smiled. "Our Hou Mansion lacks everything, but there is no shortage of medicinal materials!"
When Liu Hong came to the treasury and saw the three major houses, which were filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, he finally figured out why such a large Hou Mansion was about to go bankrupt.
"Damn, I know that this is the warehouse of the Hou Mansion, but I don't know, I think this is a pharmacy."
However, the medicinal materials have been bought, and now it is useless to say anything, it is still important to find all kinds of condiments. It is also thanks to the complete range of medicinal materials in the Hou Mansion, so it is easy for Liu Hong to get together the thirteen incense, otherwise, it is definitely not an easy thing to get these things in this era.
Cooking, as long as the ingredients and condiments are complete, almost half of the success is achieved, and the rest is mainly a matter of heat. That mainly depends on practice makes perfect, as long as you practice a lot, you can succeed. So now that the condiments are complete, Liu Hong handed over the glorious task of cooking to his nurse Zhao Rao.
The wet nurse is, in a way, a kind of cook. Due to the same surname of work, the royal sister Zhao Rao showed considerable interest in the chef's work and cooking.
But it's a pity that Liu Hong didn't work as a chef in his previous life, and he didn't remember a few recipes in total, and it didn't take long for him to learn all the things he knew. Sister Zhao's thirst for knowledge is very strong, how can this little thing satisfy her. So after mastering Liu Hong's home-cooked dishes, she went to invent other dishes again.
The more Zhao Rao knows, the more benefits Liu Hong will have. Therefore, Liu Hong did not spoil Sister Zhao's interest, but instructed other cooks to make pastries.
During the Han Dynasty, there was no shortage of wheat, especially in the northern regions, where wheat was almost the main crop. However, due to the incomplete grinding of wheat in the Han Dynasty, and the fact that the bran and bran were not removed, the flour was very rough and difficult to swallow, and almost no one ate wheat products.
Others don't know what Maizi does, but Liu Hong knows it very well. And he also knew that in the north, it would be difficult for him to eat rice in a short time, so flour would be his staple food for a long time to come.
When he found the wheat, he could not distinguish it, so he commanded his men to grind out the flour according to his request.
There is flour, wine, and there is no shortage in the Hou Mansion, with these two things, the old face is very good.
If you want to say that this old way of doing things, it is thanks to his experience in the orphanage. At that time, there were few subsidies in the orphanage, and in order to save money, steamed buns and other things had to be steamed by themselves. At that time, Liu Hong was relatively old, and he had to go to the kitchen to help, and after a long time, he really didn't know much about the things on this case.
Steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns, and all kinds of dim sum, Liu Hong commanded the cook, and they all came out, which not only satisfied his appetite, but also allowed the chef to learn all the pastry practices. In the future, if he wants to eat, he just needs to say it, and he doesn't have to work as hard as he does today.
Today's toss, although it didn't take much effort, but there were a lot of tossing people, but fortunately, the stir-fried vegetables and pastries were all made, and it was not in vain. Although he is now in charge of the Hou Mansion, outsiders don't know that he has been tossing up and down all day, which will inevitably attract the attention of people with a heart.
It doesn't matter, Liu Hong has a way.
Now he is a well-known filial son, and getting some new food for his father who has no appetite is definitely not a big deal for a filial son.
Of course, this is just an outsider's idea, and Liu Chang will never see it that way. When Liu Hong brought the stir-fried vegetables and various pastries to him, Liu Chang, who was moved, burst into tears.
