An He looked at it, and it could only be like this, it was already good to be able to make a briquette like this in the Tang Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang blacksmith found a kind of gray-white soil called "Chenghuang soil", used this kind of Chenghuang soil to lay the bottom in the wooden furnace shell, and then used gravel and sand to build a nest on the bottom of the furnace, the nest mouth is as big as the inner diameter of the furnace bladder, and the nest mouth also has two horizontal thin iron from the king blacksmith, stack the furnace on the nest and the height of the furnace shell, and then use gravel, sand and Chenghuang soil to fill the gap, and the first briquette stove in Datang is completed. In the back house of Wang's blacksmith's shop, dozens of Wang's blacksmiths experimented with making briquettes, and An He and Wei Chi Xunxi instructed their subordinates to carry the stove and briquettes to An He's house.

Jingyun, Jin Feng, and Wanyue were very curious when they saw this strange-shaped thing, and they stepped forward one after another, taking a closer look, and Jin Feng personally touched it with his hand.

An He asked Qingyun with a smile:

"Sister Qingyun, is there still meat at home?"

Qingyun smiled: "There is also a big piece of pork belly." ”

An He is not at home, these three women like to eat vegetables, I heard that An He is going to stay at home for more than ten days, Qingyun went to the vegetable market to buy such a large piece, anyway, the weather is already very cold, and it is not easy to break.

Ann and said excitedly:

"Okay, now you have a delicious meal, you can cut the pork belly into thin slices, and bring the small iron pot with water."

The clear clouds went away.

An He and Wei Chi followed the silence to light the coal stove, An He first used a honeycomb coal to cushion the bottom, and then used small pieces of pine wood with rosin, spread it on the coal and lit it, and then superimposed a honeycomb coal after the pine wood burned red, and after a burst of smoke, the briquettes slowly burned.

After a while, Qingyun had already brought the small iron pot according to An He's instructions, and An He and Wei Chi Xunxi carried the stove to the room and asked Qingyun to put the small iron pot on top of the stove.

The honeycomb coal burned more and more, the pale blue flame kept licking the bottom of the pot, the water in the pot slowly boiled, and Ann He put the pork belly cut into Qingyun's paper-thin slices along with pepper, dried hawthorn slices, chopped green onions, and ginger foam, and kept skimming off the surface foam with a spoon in the middle.

Qingyun's knife skills are good, the meat slices that are as thin as paper slices tumble up and down in the pot, and after a while, an attractive aroma comes from the pot, and Wei Chi swallows his saliva, and he can't wait to put the meat slices in his mouth immediately.

The fire was blazing, and the air in the room was slowly rising, and An He moved the pot to see that the briquettes were burning red, and added another coal, allowing Qingyun to open a window.

Wei Chi Xunxi asked An He in confusion: "Fourth brother, the temperature in this room has only risen so easily, why did you open the window?" ”

An He smiled:

"It's about increasing the mobility of the air to prevent gas poisoning."

Wei Chi asked in confusion. Anhe replied:

"Coal gas is the gas produced by burning the coal in the furnace."

Can this gas also poison people? Ann He Says:

"Yes, if we don't increase the flow of air, we may be poisoned if we stay in this house for a long time."

Seeing that Wei Chi Xunxi still looked confused, An He sighed in his heart:

"It's a hassle to impart modern knowledge to an ancient man."

An He looked at the five flowers in the small iron pot from red to white, almost cooked, so he sealed the door of the stove, and after a while, the fire was weak, just enough to keep the soup boiling, and achieved the effect of simmering.

An He took a piece of boiled pork belly with chopsticks and tasted it, it tasted good, and thought: If only there was a little chili, eating hot pot without chili always feels like something is missing.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no chili peppers, and in 1492 Columbus voyages discovered the New World, and the chili peppers were harvested in the late 16th century

Chili peppers were only introduced to China, and before that, the source of spiciness in Chinese food was mainly Sichuan pepper, followed by the Fuliu vine of dogwood.

Yu Chi Xunshan saw that An He ate it, and hurriedly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, but he was reluctant to vomit, the pork belly melted in the mouth, soft and rosinous, it was really delicious in the world, where did Yu Chi Xunshan eat this.

Just when the two of them were forgetting to eat one bite at a time, Sihao didn't notice that there was a person standing behind him, and a slap on the back of the head woke up the two foodies.

"Two bastards, I don't know how to shout big brother when I have delicious food, I really hurt you two in vain.

The two looked back and saw that it was Yu Chi Xunyu, and Yu Chi Xun glanced at him in silence, and said angrily:

"It's really time for you to come, when we were busy just now, you weren't there, and you came just after cooking."

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time, how about letting the eldest brother taste the taste!"

After Wei Chi Xunyu finished speaking, he snatched Wei Chi Xunyu's chopsticks, took a piece of pork belly and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, not shaking his head and complimenting:

"This pork belly is cooked, I have nothing to say, it's really delicious, I'm in a hurry, wait for the eldest brother to taste it again."

Wei Chi said dissatisfiedly: "You use my chopsticks!" ”

Yu Chi Xunyu's eyes glared and said: What's wrong with your chopsticks, I don't think you're dirty.

Wei Chi Xun was so angry that he hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach was bulging.

"What a person, this is!"

Wei Chi Xunxi muttered in a low voice.

Yu Chi Xunyu didn't hear it, but the frequency of starting was getting faster and faster, and after a while, a pot of pork belly slices let him eat most of it, Yu Chi Xunyu couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to the kitchen and got a pair of chopsticks, and came to grab food with Yu Chi Xunyu.

An He looked at the two brothers gobbling up and thought:

Are these two brothers starving ghosts reincarnated?

By the time he raised his chopsticks to fish, there was not much left in the pot.

Anhe asked Qingyun to cut a plate of pork belly again, and by the way, cut a cabbage and put it in the pot.

Wei Chi Xunyu was not satisfied with eating, and said cheekily:

"There is no wine, there is no food and no wine!" An He had no choice but to instruct Jin Feng to bring a jar of soju that he had purified by distillation.

Wei Chi Xunyu was not polite, he slapped open a jar, poured himself a cup, drank it in one gulp, his eyes suddenly widened, and a strong aroma of wine almost drunk him, this is also too delicious, I have never drunk such a delicious wine.

Knock, he drank half of the jar in one gulp.

Wei Chi Xun next to him asked weakly: "Big brother, what about me?" Only then did Wei Chi Xunyu put down the jar, wiped his mouth, and said a little embarrassedly: "This wine is really delicious, and the remaining half of the jar is left for the two of you." ”

The wine purified by Anhe by distillation is as high as more than 50 degrees, which is different from the ordinary wine of twenty or thirty degrees in the Tang Dynasty.

As expected, not long after drinking half a jar of wine, Wei Chi Xunyu's black face swelled into a pig's liver, and his tongue grew when he spoke.

Before he could eat a few bites of the heavy pork belly slices, Yu Chi Xunyu fell asleep on the table.

An He and Yu Chi Xunyu were lonely, and it took a lot of effort to get his huge original body to An He's bed, and early in the morning of the first day, Yu Chi Xunyu opened his eyes and asked An He: "Could it be that I drank too much every day?" An He nodded affirmatively.

Wei Chi Xunyu scratched his head and wondered, "Can't! I've never been drunk after drinking two or three catties, but I drank two catties more yesterday and yesterday? An He said word by word: "Because the eldest brother drinks the wine that I distilled!" (To be continued.) )
