Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 67 Teach the homeless to make pasta
In the afternoon, when the big households in Wancheng sent people to send all the grain, Zhang Yang came to Chen Qiu with a happy face and said: "Lord, today's more than 20 kinds of Taixu eating practices have been exchanged for nearly 1,000 stone of grain, plus more than 2,000 stone of grain donated by the big households, we have nearly 4,000 stone of grain for the relief of the displaced people, and the food problem has been temporarily solved." ”
Then he said with an angry face: "But half of this batch of grain is soya beans, which is really unpleasant!" The subordinates really want to arrest these big households and force them to exchange soybean beans for other grains, even if they don't exchange it for millet rice, but for millet rice. ”
Chen Qiu shook his head, signaling him not to do this, and at the same time said with regret: "Let's stop the food matter, we can't force them too much, and in the future, we will have to rely on them to help spread the food." ”
After Zhang Yang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire the five-body throw, "The lord is really wise and resourceful, and if it is publicized by these big households, it will definitely attract more people to exchange food for the practice of eating too empty." ”
"There are thirty-seven counties in my Nanyang County, with 528,551 households and 2,439,618 mouths.
When Chen Qiu heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How can it be so easy, the two stones of grain for the method, it's just that this government is aimed at the big families and the powerful class in the city, if the people come to exchange this price, this government will definitely not agree, if it really does, it will definitely attract countless infamy." ”
"Eh," Zhang Yang was stunned, as a thief Cao, his force value must be enough, but he is still a little lacking in IQ, not as far as Chen Qiu considered, if Gong Cao Cen Sheng is here, he will definitely put forward a suitable opinion.
People just can't stand the thoughts, no, as soon as Zhang Yang thought of Cen Sheng, he saw Cen Sheng coming in in a hurry.
"How's the food going, my lord? The homeless people only drank one bowl of porridge today, and many of them were reluctant to continue working. ”
Chen Qiu nodded lightly, "Ming Fang, you came just in time, this mansion and Xian Qingzheng are discussing the matter of food, he has some ideas, and he also said that you should listen." ”
Zhang Yang took over with a smile and said to Cen Sheng: "Don't worry about the grain for the time being, the lord adopted the suggestion of the Wu family Xiaolang and exchanged nearly four thousand stones of grain. ”
"How can there be so many!" Cen Sheng was shocked.
"These big families began to disbelieve that there was too much to eat, or that the lord sent someone to take it from the palace to make it, and these people believed it. However, in order to appease the anger of the lord, they all volunteered to donate a hundred stone of grain, and then they also exchanged two stones of grain for a Taixu food. Regarding the fact that these big families don't trust Taishou, Zhang Yang is still a little worried.
Cen Sheng calculated, "Then there isn't so much food?" ”
Zhang Yang snorted coldly, "It's not that they are smart, forty percent of the food donated is wheat food, and then they found that these practices of eating too much food all use wheat, and they doubled it back." ”
Cen Sheng laughed and said: "This is really smart but mistaken by cleverness!" ”
After laughing, Cen Sheng asked again: "When I entered the house just now, I saw the lord's brows tightly locked, could it be that I encountered something tricky?" ”
Zhang Yang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I didn't see that I could exchange such food, so I suggested that the sovereign comprehensively promote this kind of exchange in Nanyang County, but the sovereign cared about the people and categorically refused." ”
"How dare you think about it!" Cen Sheng was a little speechless, as Chen Qiu said, if he really did this, he would not only attract countless infamy, but also may have a huge impact on his career.
However, there will be more and more displaced people in the future, and the 4,000 stone grain is definitely far from enough.
At that moment, Cen Sheng frowned and thought for a while, and then suggested: "Since the lord is unwilling to exchange for the people's food, why don't you summon the three elders of the township near Wancheng and ask their opinions." ”
Zhang Yang also persuaded: "Yes, my lord, since we want to exchange food, it is impossible to pass on the practice of eating too empty to the people for free, but these foods will be passed on by the displaced people sooner or later, so it is better to plan for this matter as soon as possible." ”
Chen Qiu nodded, "You go and pull the food you need today to the outside of the city to distribute it to the homeless people, and then think about it carefully." ”
The two agreed, and just as they were about to turn around and leave, Chen Qiu called out to them again, "By the way, ask the Wu family kid if he has any way to solve this soya bean problem." ”
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, but the two still didn't ask anything, and turned to leave.
After the two handed over the millet from the treasury to the officials to cook porridge, they came to find Wu Yong hand in hand, and as soon as they arrived at the place, they saw Wu Yong teaching a few men to grind.
I saw Wu Yong personally walk to the stone mill, scoop a scoop of wheat, pour it into the hole in the center of the stone mill, and say to a man next to him: "You come and try, push this wooden handle." ”
The man received the order, although he didn't know what Wu Yong was going to do, but there was no difficulty for him to push and grind, before he became a homeless person, he had a stone mill at home, and he often used it to grind grain.
As the stone mill turns, after a while, the flour is squeezed out from under the stone mill.
After a while, after a layer of flour was piled up under the stone mill, Wu Yong found a clay pot and a sieve.
Then Wu Yong swept the flour in the recess into the basket sieve with a broom, and gently shook the basket sieve, and a layer of white flour mixed with yellowish appeared in the clay pot.
On the side, Cen Sheng and the others and the group of homeless people all widened their eyes.
It was the first time they had seen the flour milled, and the yellow wheat that was poured into it turned into white powder after being pressed by the stone mill for a while! And it's so white, like the prettiest snowflakes.
The onlookers swallowed their saliva unconsciously, and just by looking at their appearance, they knew that it was delicious, and some children even drooled.
Wu Yong ignored them, poured the filtered wheat husk from the basket into the small hole of the stone mill again, and grinded it again.
After three times, Wu Yongcai stopped and asked the male homeless onlookers, "Do you understand everything?" ”
"Xiao Langjun, what are you doing? We used to grind at home, and it wasn't difficult. A homeless person asked suspiciously.
Wu Yong glanced at the man angrily, "Grinding noodles!" Since you can grind, then push well and grind all this wheat for me. ”
After speaking, Wu Yong said to the onlookers, "Your aunts and sisters come with the boy, and I will teach you to cook." ”
Everyone came to a low case together, and Wu Yong began to teach everyone to make peace.
"The most important thing is to add water, water should be added to it little by little, and in the process of adding water, keep kneading, so that the dough can be evenly proportioned."
"The amount of water you add depends on the feel of your hand, and it can't be too dry or too wet. If it's too dry, you can't knead it, and if it's too wet, you need to add more flour to keep it from sticking to your hands. ”
After the reconciliation, Wu Yong asked the many women onlookers, "Which elder is willing to try to demonstrate?" ”
The crowd was silent for a while, and finally a thin woman walked up to Wu Yong, "Xiao Langjun, let me try it"
Wu Yong nodded, and the woman began to concentrate on the face-to-face, during which Wu Yong continued to correct some of her mistakes.
Soon, the woman met successfully, and Wu Yong praised her a few words and asked her to stand beside her.
Next, Wu Yong began to teach everyone how to make noodles.
"Today's kid teaches everyone to make two kinds of food, one is called rice noodles, and the other is called worry relief buns."
After speaking, Wu Yong didn't care about everyone's surprised eyes, clicked on the skill panel, and after a burst of bells and whistles, he grabbed a handful of noodles and showed them to everyone: "This is a dumpling noodle." ”
The onlookers looked at Wu Yong with round eyes, incredulously.
"Do you elders understand?" Wu Yong asked softly.
The women were shocked, some nodding, some shaking their heads.
Wu Yong's head was a little big, and she asked the thin woman standing beside her, "Can my uncle understand?" ”
Seeing the woman nodding, Wu Yong asked again, "Can I ask my uncle to demonstrate it for you?" ”
The woman hesitated, but finally nodded, "I'll give it a try, and ask Xiao Langjun for more guidance." ”
Wu Yong smiled and encouraged: "Uncle and aunt, although she lets go of her hands and feet, there is a kid here, and there will be no mistakes." ”
With Wu Yong's assurance, the woman relaxed and began to roll the dough seriously.
Wu Yong saw that although the woman's movements were a little rusty, and the thickness of the dough was also different, but the overall was not bad, at least the noodles were cut out in the end, which was considered a success.
After the successful teaching of noodles, Wu Yong began to teach how to make steamed buns, "Next, the kid teaches everyone to make worry-relieving buns, which is even simpler, just look at it." ”
After Wu Yong made a relief bun, he asked the thin woman next to him to demonstrate it again.
Then he said to everyone: "These two kinds of food are not only used in the method, but also in the method of steaming, the rice noodles need to be cooked in boiling water, and the steamed buns need to be steamed in a steamer." ”
This can speak, and the stove that has been set up a long time ago on the side is also boiled by several old men with two pots of boiling water.
Wu Yong first set up a steamer on the iron pot, put the dough into the steamer one by one, and let the old man burn the fire and steam.
After that, I went to another pot stove and taught everyone how to cook noodles.
When the first pot of noodles came out of the pot, the onlookers swallowed unconsciously, they had never seen such exquisite food.
After Wu Yong distributed the boiled noodles to a few children, the one they ate was called a gobble, and the onlookers hated to exchange places with them.
There weren't many boiled noodles in total, and if there were many people, they could taste it, and after these children ate it, their eyes all glowed green, and they looked at the steamed bun pot.
Because of this kung fu, the steamed bun came up, and the whole pot stove was filled with a strong smell of steamed buns.
The homeless people waited anxiously, and just smelling the steamed buns, they could conclude that the food must have tasted like never before.
After a while, it really whetted everyone's appetite, Wu Yongcai slowly lifted the lid of the pot and distributed the steamed anxiety relief buns to the old man to eat.
Wu Yong also picked up a broken piece and tasted it, although there was no yeast, and the steamed anxiety relief bun did not taste very good, but for the homeless, this was already a gift from God.
So when all the old people who got the relief buns, after tasting it, their eyes couldn't help but widen, they had never eaten such delicious food, and some of the old people were even in tears.
Wu Yong saw that the onlookers were drooling and unconscious, and felt a little funny, so he couldn't help but remind: "I will teach you these two ways of eating, if you want to be hungry all the time, then still stand." ”
The onlookers suddenly realized that instead of watching others eat, it was better for everyone to do food together!
So there was no need for Wu Yong's instructions, there were people rushing to grind, sieve noodles, mix noodles, knead dough, roll dough, and burn fires.
Cen Sheng and Zhang Yang saw Wu Yong cooking for the first time, and this kind of miraculous skill opened their eyes, and they no longer dared to treat Wu Yong as a child.
There have been very few teenagers who can have this miraculous method since ancient times, and if they continue to grow up, their future achievements will definitely be beyond their expectations.
The two glanced at each other, and thought secretly in their hearts at the same time: "This Wu family Xiaolang's methods are really good, it seems that the lord asked him to solve the problem of soya beans, and there is a certain reason, I can't say that he really has a way." ”
