Chapter 180: There are people in the court who are good at farming
Huo Quzhi led Tangyi's father and others to catch more than a dozen old hens and more than 50 fat ducks at Cao Xiang's house, and came back very arrogantly.
Cao Xiang was distressed, so he simply couldn't see it out of sight and was not upset, and ran out to tease the little cook and was blasted out; Then, bored, he went to provoke Naren Toya.
As a result, he was chased out by the little girl with a kitchen knife, hugged his head in the Zhuangzi, and shouted for help, but no one paid attention to it at all, and both boots were lost......
For the outrageousness of this product, everyone has long been accustomed to it, it's simple.
Yang Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, but called his cousin and the thirty half-grown sons over and began to teach them how to slaughter ducks.
"You have to take a look, the first step in cooking roast duck is to choose fat and strong ingredients, you can't be mistaken."
"For example, these ducks you caught, they look very big, but in fact, if you touch them, do you find that these ducks are strong but not fat?"
When teaching these half-grown children, Yang Chuan's patience is excellent, always tepid, gentle and smiling, looking like a big brother with a good temper, even Huo Quzhi is a little greedy, and can't help but come up to observe and learn.
"When you choose the ingredients, you have to slaughter them."
"Slaughtering is the first step in processing ingredients, so don't underestimate it."
"What about these people, they think that the so-called slaughtering is not just a knife to wipe it over, and just let go of the blood of beef and mutton, chicken, ducks, geese and other ingredients, that is very wrong, it is simply a tyrannical thing."
"They call it slaughter, they call it waste of food, they call it ...... Well, it's not particular anyway. ”
"You see, for example, when a duck is slaughtered, one must first grasp the two bases of the duck with his left hand, lift the duck's right palm back with his right hand, and hook it with the little finger of his left hand. Pinch the duck's beak with your right hand and bend its neck downward, and pinch the lower part of the duck's head with the thumb and forefinger of your left hand to tighten the neck skin......"
'Brush' a knife.
Everyone only felt that Yang Chuan's knife had been gently wiped by a flower in front of them, and they didn't see how he took out the knife or how he put away the knife, and a wisp of duck blood gushed out and fell into a clean clay pot.
"This is to be accurate, steady, fast, and very gentle to cut through, and then lift it like this, and control the duck blood......"
This knife, don't say that the thirty half-sized children didn't see it clearly, even Huo Quai......
Well, this kind of skill of playing with knives, Yang Chuan, a cook, is much better than Huo Quai, a martial artist who is used to swords, horse lances, spears and clubs.
“…… Whether Childe can make another stab, we don't see clearly. A half-grown boy whispered.
Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and said with a warm smile: "This first knife is to set a benchmark for you, in the future, every time you use a kitchen knife, you will have a general idea, otherwise, it is easy to become a vulgar martial artist, even if you kill chickens and sheep, you will make a mess."
Naturally, I'll slow down this time so that you can see it clearly and carefully......"
Yang Chuan caught another fat duck and pinched it tightly with the same technique.
Then, very slowly, a knife was cut.
This knife, at first glance, is inconspicuous, as if he swiped it on the duck's neck very casually, so that people can't see its subtlety.
It's just that in the eyes of Huo Quzhi and Tangyi's father, the steady, accurate, ruthless, and fast of this knife and Yang Chuan's so-called 'gentleness' are simply beautiful.
"What a clever knife technique."
Huo Quzhi muttered, and said thoughtfully: "Yang Chuan, the last time I tried the knife technique with you at the stone gate barrier, I was still somewhat unconvinced, but now it seems that ......."
Yang Chuan chuckled lightly and said: "Now it seems that my knife technique is actually nothing more than that, your Huo Quai's knife, wide open and closed, sweeping the world, that is the real knife technique;
However, the knife technique I demonstrated today is just a small road, which is not surprising, and it is just killing chickens and slaughtering sheep. ”
Huo Quzhi frowned, thought for a long time, and nodded: "I understand." ”
Yang Chuan smiled and asked, "What do you know again?" ”
Huo Quzhi ignored Yang Chuan's ridicule, and said very seriously: "I suddenly understood a truth just now, this marching and fighting, arranging troops, opening and closing, and dominating the world is of course essential, it is a kind of prestige that is arrogant in the world, and it is unstoppable;
But in the specific tactics, there is no need to stick to the ancient art of war, you can learn from your Yang Chuan's steady, accurate, ruthless, and fast;
Only in this way can the Huns be able to give the Huns a gentle knife by surprise, and before they can react, they have already caused a fatal wound......"
Listening to Huo Quai's 'epiphany words', Yang Chuan was speechless for a long time, so he could only pat the thick shoulder of this thing, and then pat it a few more times.
What else can be said?
In the face of a military genius like Huo Quzhi, Yang Chuan, a big Han cook, seems to be ...... Well, it's pretty impressive.
Subsequently, Yang Chuan carefully explained the simple structure, usage and basic skills of kitchen knives, boning knives, chicken and sheep slaughtering knives to the thirty teenagers, and let them practice.
After a dozen breaths.
Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it seems that in the recent period, you have used a kitchen knife to cut grass every day, and it has been effective." ”
Then, he continued to teach them techniques such as scalding, hair removal, hair selection, elaboration, bore detection hook, scalding and sugar coloring; And after staring at them meticulously, he finished it before he roasted it himself.
Authentic roast duck, in fact, there is a 'billet' process, that is, the duck ingredients that have been processed in the early stage are picked with bamboo poles and hung on the 'hanging duck pole' to dry and ventilate for 12 hours, so that after the duck skin is dried, it is more suitable for roasting.
Such a finely processed duck, whether it is roasted by the 'hanging oven method', the 'oven oven method' or the 'barbecued pork method', can easily achieve the standard of 'red color, delicate meat, mellow taste, fat but not greasy'.
However, looking at the gluttony of Huo Quai's several people, Yang Chuan had no choice but to make do with it once......
……
Three days later, Sang Hongyang and other officials came to the Yang fiefdom again, and brought 1,000 ploughing cattle, 3,000 mules and horses, and 300 carts of money, grain and materials.
As for the three thousand servants that had been said before, they could not be sold for a while, and according to the order of the Great Nong Ling Zheng at that time, all of them were converted into 'military supplies' such as horns, tendons, cowhides, and boxwood, and they were pulled over in one go.
At the same time, Sang Hongyang also brought a secret decree of the emperor, but while encouraging a few people to 'serve the country diligently', he also allowed Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, and Cao Xiang to 'act cheaply' and solve the difficulties of labor and servitude by themselves.
In other words, Liu Che not only did not have the slightest difficulty with Yang Chuan's trial of the 'Tuntian method'.
On the contrary, he also specially appointed Sang Hongyang and others to observe, investigate, and learn from Yang Chuan's practices when delivering supplies, and planned to fully implement it in the Han Empire?
Hearing this news, Yang Chuan looked very flat.
It's just that in my heart, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief: 'As long as the law of Tuntian can be implemented, at least half of the military rations of the Han Empire can be solved......
Of course, what he was concerned about was the field battalion's plan to strengthen the army.
"The big farmer has worked hard."
"You've done a great job."
Yang Chuan stood at the gate of Zhuangzi, looking at the mighty 'door-to-door' team, with a gentle smile on his face, and a slightly helpless wry smile, he arched his hand and said: "You really believe in people." ”
Sang Hongyang walked over quickly, wiping the sweat on his face while laughing: "How about being less upper-handed?" This time, we can finally solve the problem of spring plowing and spring sowing, right? ”
Yang Chuan smiled bitterly: "Sang Hongyang, you guy started too fast, I didn't even react." ”
"The day before yesterday, you just left, the next day, there was a nobleman who visited, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was three thousand ploughing cattle, and he wanted to exchange for the pattern of the car, don't you know, I Yang Chuan, this time I lost a lot!"
While speaking, he also waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Sang Hongyang, if you pit me again next time, don't think about eating my Yang Chuan's food again!" ”
Sang Hongyang smiled, leaned closer, and whispered: "You, you really don't want your eye sockets to be too shallow." ”
Yang Chuan looked sideways: "What do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean? What do you mean? Sang Hongyang took a big advantage and said proudly: "Less Shangzao, you have to remember, there is an old saying that is good, what is the good thing in the court."
Do you know that you have a small cocoon in exchange for the favor of the big farmer Ling Zheng at that time, if it weren't for his mediation, he fought with the emperor.
You, it is estimated that you will be rewarded with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land again......"
Seeing Sang Hongyang's very proud appearance, Yang Chuan was in a better mood, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around this guy's shoulder, and walked more than a dozen steps into the distance, and then asked:
"Is there any benefit to follow-up?"
Sang Hongyang glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Da Nong Ling Zheng asked me to tell Shao Shangzao at that time, in order to thank you for the pattern of the car, Da Nong Ling took the method of tuntian you implemented on the head of Da Nong Ling's ......"
Yang Chuan nodded, and his heart was clear.
No wonder Liu Che is so refreshing this time, his feelings are this 'method of tuntian', and it has also become the 'political achievement' of people's big peasant orders?
It's right to think about it, do everything possible to vigorously promote the 'tuntian system', which can not only increase a large amount of money and grain income for the Han Empire, but also solve the problem of displaced people to a large extent, which is the responsibility of the people's big peasant order.
So to speak.
Danong Ling Zheng and Sang Hongyang not only fell in love with the pattern of the cocoon cart, but also took a fancy to the "method of tuntian" to splash the sky......
Yang Chuan smiled with satisfaction.
The power of the individual has never been able to compete with the power of the entire Han Empire, and it is better to let the Great Agricultural Order be forcibly implemented in the form of an imperial edict than to secretly engage in some 'contract responsibility system' by himself.
As a cook, you should be like a king when faced with a large number of ingredients...... Ahem, you should be like a referee on the field, how can you rush with an athlete to shoot the ball into your own goal?
Wouldn't that be a traitor!
This time, it was also very ironed and proper, and it was very comfortable to think about.
Tsk, that's the real surprise.
"You old thieves!"
Yang Chuan felt comfortable, but his face looked very helpless and annoyed, pointing at Sang Hongyang's nose and scolding: "You guys, it's so black, even this credit has been snatched?" ”
Sang Hongyang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "So, Da Nong Ling owes you a big favor, so I want to give some compensation." ”
Yang Chuan asked expressionlessly, "What compensation?" ”
Sang Hongyang looked left and right, stretched out three fingers, and said in a low voice: "Three thousand people who don't want money, do you want it?" ”
Recently, the foreshadowing of more than 10,000 words has finally been completed, and some people are about to make their debut
