Chapter 240: Great Qin's First Dumpling

Ran Fang suddenly smiled, after eating coarse grains for so long, he was finally able to cook his favorite food.

How can you still eat bread?

"If you still make bread and eat it, isn't that a tyrannical thing?"

"This official, naturally there is a better way to eat."

"Someone, bring some water!"

In the courtyard, in full view of everyone, Ran Fang poured water into the basin, and then began to knead the noodles and water.

In a few minutes, a piece of dough is kneaded.

Ran Fang found a board and covered it on top of the dough, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Let the chef mix the stuffing with pork, okay?"

"You can bring it."

Obviously, Zheng Guo didn't understand what Ran Fang was talking about, but the guards around him immediately understood, and after a while, they came over with a porcelain basin.

There were also a few chefs behind him, and they also came to learn Ran Fang's method with doubts.

Seeing that there was minced meat inside, and there were some cabbage and other things in it, Zheng Guo felt a little heartbroken.

"This ......"

He really wanted to say that this cabbage and pork are very expensive things, and they are just chopped up and put together, isn't this a waste of things?

But thinking that he still had to ask Yu Ran Rang, it was not easy for him to say any more words in his mouth.

However, his heart-wrenching eyes couldn't hide from Ran Fang.

Ran Fang glanced at the people around him, and it was obvious that everyone felt a little pity, but the people in his mansion had been by his side for so long, and he knew that he was not so kind to his subordinates.

So even if he felt sorry in his heart, no one dared to question his decision.

"Keep grinding another bowl of noodles and we'll be done."

The people under him immediately started a new round of grinding noodles in a hurry.

In the process of waiting, Ran Fang took the initiative to say to Zheng Guo: "This thing is called a stone mill, which can grind wheat and rice into flour. ”

"It's better than what we usually eat, and if this thing can be universal, then the people don't have to eat those hard-to-swallow coarse grains."

"Moreover, after grinding, flour and a few things can be eaten more than wheat."

"What do you think?"

Zheng Guo didn't expect that Ran Fang would take the initiative to talk to him about this thing, but when he heard Ran Fang's words later, he knew that it was to make Qianshou live a better life.

In an instant, his understanding of Ran Fang had another level.

Looking at the two ceramic basins on the table, the doubt in his heart suddenly dropped a lot.

"The commander has such a heart, which is really admirable to the subordinates."

"If it is really as the commander said, it is really a blessing for the head of the world!"

"But...... Even so, the suffering of the people of the world is not only because it is difficult to swallow food, but more importantly, they have nothing to eat. ”

"Although there are some problems that can be solved by the short curved plough made by the commander, there are still many problems that have not been solved."

"Especially the problem of water sources, irrigation is the biggest problem for those old, weak, sick and disabled leaders."

"It can be planted, and water is needed in the first place, so the yield will be lower and lower year by year."

The short curved plough had already begun to be used in the villages near Xianyang City, but Zheng Guo still felt that Ran Fang must have other ideas.

It's just that he can't give Ran Fang something, so he is embarrassed to ask Ran Fang again.

The words that Ran Fang said just now made him feel that Ran Fang also had the life of the people in his heart.

If he asked, presumably Ran Fang would not refuse.

Hearing his question, Ran Fang naturally understood what Zheng Guo meant, and he was willing to help the people improve their living ability.

However, he naturally won't hand this thing over easily.

"Well, we'll talk about that later."

"Let's make this flour first."

After that, someone happened to bring the flour.

Ran Fang took matters into his own hands, cut the dough in half, kneaded it in his hands for a while, made the dough into long strips, and then cut it into small pieces and pieces of dough with a knife.

In the astonishment of the crowd, he flattened the dough with his hands, and then began to roll it back and forth with the round stick in his right hand.

While rolling, he also used left and right to turn the dough all the time.

In a short time, a very thin and small dough cake was made.

Then, Ran Fang put the pork and cabbage in another pot on the dough cake, and then pinched the two sides of the dough cake to form a bulging semi-circle cake.

Ran Fang put the cake on the table next to him, and took the initiative to explain: "This thing is called dumplings, and when the time comes, it will be very delicious." ”

After speaking, he looked at the cooks and asked, "Have you learned?" ”

The chefs looked at each other, they understood this method, but they still didn't understand what Ran Fang meant.

But he still nodded sincerely, "Lord Qiyu, I understand." ”

Ran Fang nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, he is a chef, and he learns quickly.

At that time, he wanted to learn to roll dumpling skins, but he didn't have much contact, and now people have learned it after watching it once!

"Okay, then you can do it."

As he spoke, he set the rolling pin aside and motioned for the cooks to do their hands.

A chef stepped forward, picked up a rolling pin, and began to roll out the dumpling wrappers in the same posture as Ran Fang.

It's a pity that he learned a little fur, and the dumpling skin is hard to say, and it is very slow.

After a while, the beads of sweat on his forehead began to fall.

After barely rolling it into a circle, he also put the stuffing into the dumpling wrapper, pinched the sides tightly, and placed it on the table.

Later, several chefs take turns to roll out the dumpling wrappers and learn how to make dumplings.

By the last dumpling hand, their movements were already very skillful, and the dumpling skin was getting more and more rounded.

Looking at the dumplings on the table, everyone's eyes fell on Ran Fang's body, waiting for his next command.

Ran Fang stepped forward to see that the dumplings were not broken, so he said: "Go to the kitchen and boil a pot of water, and after the water boils, put these dumplings into the water." ”

"If you don't have to stir it gently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot, you can't eat it, and you can't stir it too much, otherwise the dumpling skin will break."

"You can give it a try first, and after cooking a few dumplings without any problem, then live all of them."

"Cook until you think the meat and skin are cooked, and you can take it out."

"Alright, you guys go ahead, I'll wait in the front hall."

After ordering everything, Ran Fang and Zheng Guo walked in the direction of the front hall, and the cooks hurriedly went to cook dumplings.

After arriving at the front hall and sitting down, Zheng Guo couldn't help but ask again: "Commander, when will you just say that you will be in the future?" ”

"In a few months, when we can't plant, how will the people live?"

"Please also ask the commander to give advice, if the commander has any requests, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"

Ran Fang had no intention of embarrassing Zheng Guo, since he said so, he was willing to give him a chance.

"That being the case, that official has something for you to do."

"When the matter is completed, the official can tell you the method."
