Li Mu came to Datang this time, not only bringing spices. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Some expensive glass, and then some other things.
There are some special things in these things, Li Mu put them in the space alone, and the others let the people in the house put the things in the warehouse.
There was only one thing, and the people in the house didn't know what to do, so they came to inquire.
"Master, I don't know how the transparent glass piece is reasonable?" The subordinates who came to repay really couldn't think of a way to move those expensive glasses.
I'm afraid that it will be broken without knowing the severity.
Therefore, under the recommendation of other subordinates, it is up to him to ask.
Pieces of glass?
At first time, Li Mu didn't react, but then after thinking about it, Li Mu remembered that it was the five-millimeter glass he had prepared for the windows in the house.
Ancient windows have always used paper to cover the windows.
This method not only has a bad lighting effect, but it is not too strong, and you can poke a hole if you don't watch TV.
So he brought a glass frame from modern times to Datang.
"Well, does Mei'er have a carpenter in the house?" Instead of instructing his subordinates, he began to ask if there was a carpenter in the house, and this kind of thing requires the cooperation of the carpenter.
"I don't have it at my lord's house, but I can find it from outside." Merle replied.
"No need for Brother Mu, take my waist card and let my guards follow, you can go to the craftsman supervisor to borrow a few carpenters, the carpenters in that way are better than the outside."
Finally seeing where he had his help, Li Zhi untied the waist card around his waist and handed it to Li Mu.
took Li Zhi's waist card and handed it to Li Mei'er.
"Mei'er, you go and find the cow guards with the waist card, and find a few skilled carpenters to help in the house, remember to have a better attitude, we can pay the salary."
Li Mei'er, who took the waist card, nodded and said, "Understood, master." ā
Seeing Li Mei'er leaving, Li Mu then instructed the subordinate who came to inquire, "Move a large square table and put it on the martial arts stage." ā
After dealing with the hot pot matter for a while, when Li Mei'er came back with the carpenter, she was ready to deal with the glass.
The glass knife he was carrying was still lying in the space at this time.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, what are we going to do in a while?" Li Zhi is a master who can't be idle, seeing that Li Mu finished his order, and the spicy pepper has passed, he stepped forward and asked.
"In a moment, I'll do a magic trick for you." He said with a smile and walked outside.
Target kitchen.
Following Li Mu all the way to the kitchen curiously, Li Zhi finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mu, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Are you hungry? ā
"No, I'm going to prepare for dinner." Li Mu said as a matter of course.
Li Zhi and the others looked dazed, preparing dinner, do you want the master to do it? Even Li Lan'er, who didn't know the reason at first, heard that Li Mu was going to prepare dinner.
immediately panicked and said, "Master, what are you doing here, there is a cook at home." ā
Looking at the panicked appearance of the three of them, Li Mu knew what the reason was, the ancient masters didn't know how to cook, especially men, gentlemen were far away from cooking, that's what it meant.
But the next thing he didn't do was there, he couldn't do it, and he didn't know how to make hot pot when he wanted to come to Datang.
After all, hot pot is a thing of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Don't worry, Lan'er, the three of you will just stand there, and when I am not in Datang, I will go to the kitchen by myself."
"Oh." In this way, the three of Lan'er thought of it, Li Mulai's country, Bolai country.
"No, you really can't stand there, Lan'er, you go and find me some saltpeter, I'll use it later."
"Yes, sir." When Lan'er heard about her, she immediately ran happily to find saltpeter.
Li Mu asked for saltpeter because the mutton was only cut into thin slices if it was frozen.
"Cook." After instructing other things, Li Mu looked at the cook who was already paralyzed with fright when she heard that he was going to cook.
"Master, did I do something wrong?" The cook felt that she was not doing something wrong, so she asked Li Mu to cook herself.
"No, I'll give you a raise when I'm done." Li Mu encouraged, he knew that this was a hierarchical concept at work.
"A raise?" The cook wondered.
"It's just to give you a salary." Li Mu explained.
"Ah, okay master, my Chef Zhang absolutely guarantees that I can do a good job." Sure enough, money is the most attractive, so that a cook is not afraid of the majesty of the previous class.
"Is there lamb or beef at home?"
Li Mu remembered that the Tang Dynasty did not eat pork, or that only the common people would eat pork, and most of the meat of the nobles was concentrated on mutton and beef.
However, beef is not something that can be eaten casually, after all, cattle is the primary productive force.
"Lamb is there, but there is not too much beef." With the support of wages, plus the question is her own job, the cook answers very fluently.
Seeing that there was mutton and beef at home, Li Mu instructed the cook: "Chef Zhang, you ask people to prepare a water tank, don't fill it too full, prepare a copper basin, you can put it in the water tank, go and prepare some beef and mutton, and you can have more mutton." ā
"Yes, sir." Chef Zhang went down to prepare things.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing here?" Li Zhi asked curiously, this is beef and mutton again, and it is a copper basin in the water tank.
"And take care of it, just have your delicious food in a while." Li Mu didn't speak, just let Li Zhi wait, and then walked into the kitchen to prepare other things.
Hearing Li Mu say this, Li Zhi and Li Xueyan waited curiously aside.
Watching Li Mu prepare some shabu-shabu materials with the help of Zhu'er and Ju'er.
Be prepared to use it in the evening.
After a while, the cook took people to prepare the things that Li Mu wanted, and also filled the water, waiting for Lan'er to bring back the saltpeter.
I guess I went to the pharmacy to buy it.
After all, in addition to the old alchemy, the others are only available in pharmacies.
and the cook's front and back, Lan'er also bought the saltpeter, took the saltpeter in Lan'er's hand, and the cook also prepared the beef and mutton.
Roll the lamb and beef separately with clean linen into columns and tie them with rope.
Put it in the copper basin that has been prepared, then take the water ladle from the cook's hand and fill the copper basin with clean well water.
Look ready, it's just saltpeter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to witness the miracle." Li Mu proudly posed a classic pose.
"Hurry, hurry. I can't wait. Seeing that it was a trick, Li Zhi couldn't help but urge.
"Okay, here." Saying that, Li Mu poured the saltpeter in his hand into the water tank, remembering that it was a water tank, not a copper basin.
The five of them gathered around the water tank with Li Mu, and Li Zhi, who had been waiting for a while, said impatiently.
"This, nothing has changed."
Li Mu looked at the water tank and frowned, and said to himself, "Could it be that there is less poured?" ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the water tank began to bubble, and then a trace of white gas came out, and ice crystals began to appear on the edge of the water tank.
"Out of here." Li Xueyan, who had been observing, exclaimed in surprise.
"Where?" Li Zhi, who saw the changes in the water tank, exclaimed in surprise, "Really, is this ice?" It's so powerful, Brother Mu, are you an immortal? ā
After saying that, she looked at Li Mu with a look of adoration, and Li Xueyan was also curious, but she didn't have Li Zhi's worship, because she knew that it must be related to what she had just poured in.
No matter how curious and adoring Li Zhi and Li Xueyan are about him, he still likes the blind admiration of his three girls.
Enjoying the adoring eyes of the people around him, Li Mu raised his chin and looked like you stupid mortals.
"Master, the craftsman who is the master of the craftsman has arrived, and he is waiting on the martial arts stage at this time" Li Mei'er, who went to ask the craftsman to be the carpenter, finally returned.
Hearing Li Mei'er's words, Li Mu turned around and instructed Chef Zhang, the next thing to do, find a lid to seal the water tank so that the cold will not be exposed.
There are a few other things to use for hot pot.
Li Mei'er saw Li Mu leaving, and then looked at the changes in the water tank, so she grabbed Li Lan'er, who was leaving, and asked.
"What's going on?"
Li Mei'er, who had just come back, didn't know what happened after she left, but she heard Li Lan'er say this.
After thinking about it for a while, he said sharply to the people in the kitchen.
"Forget what you just saw, remember, if anyone dares to spit out a word, watch your tongue, and still have life, understand?"
Although Li Mu didn't care, Li Mei'er knew that this could make ice in the summer, which was definitely a unique secret.
The ice used in Chang'an City is basically dug in the winter and stored, and this kind of thing is only available in the imperial palace, the emperor and empress, as well as those young imperial heirs.
This is definitely a good way to make money in the house.
"Understood." The subordinates in the kitchen shivered and lowered their heads and did not dare to disobey.
Li Zhi, who was lying on the edge of the water tank, saw this scene in his eyes, and saw that this water tank was like this, so he got up and chased after Li Mu without interest.
After chasing Li Mu's side, he told the scene he saw.
"Brother Mu, how about I give your maid a good gift." After speaking, I didn't forget to look at Zhu'er and Ju'er.
"Of course, my girl." Li Mu smiled.
Zhu'er and Ju'er, who were following Li Mu, originally thought that Li Mu would be angry, but when they saw their master's appearance, they were happy for their sister.
