"This Yongzheng is a troublesome one." Liu Bei's tone was a little indignant.

Kong Ming and the others were suddenly stunned.

However, it is not incomprehensible to be serious - just like the day when Emperor Wu made the lunar calendar to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, it is the common pursuit of the descendants of the Yan and Han dynasties to return to the same customs from all over the world.

As a result, now because of the trouble-saving of Yongzheng alone, there is a difference between the customs of the north and the south in later generations.

It's not a big deal, but it looks bad enough.

However, only Lu Su still cares about the few people:

"How can this posterity be called the crown of 5,000 years?"

So the uncertainties on Liu Bei's face all dissipated, and a little sadness appeared on Kong Ming's indifferent face, and he raised an irrelevant question:

"Zijing thinks that the two pages of agronomy are treasures, there is the method of manure to increase the yield per mu by half a stone, and the experience of seedling breeding and seedling selection can be called a hundred years of experience, and how much can it be valued in future generations?"

This question was a little abrupt, but Lu Su still thought about it seriously and said cautiously:

"Even if the abundance of goods in the future is far beyond what we can imagine, it will be regarded as the price of a hundred dollars?"

Lu Su felt that his valuation was already quite bold, but he still saw Kong Ming shake his head, stretched out a palm and said:

"The whole book is called "Heavenly Creations", and the price of the later generations is only five yuan."

Later, Kong Ming and Lu Su explained in detail the cause and effect of the equivalent value of the later life named "Yuan" calculated according to the gold gifts at the earliest.

Lu Su was silent, and then Ai Ai said:

"That's... That junior... The porridge that is difficult to swallow is ......"

Kong Ming has always observed carefully, just now he also glanced at a box of laba porridge flashing in the picture, which seems to be sealed in cans and packed into boxes, and the weight and price are clearly written on the packaging, a can of 280 grams, twelve cans for 34 yuan, they also explored the relationship between the so-called gram weight in later generations and the catties at this time, so it is easier to calculate:

"Dozens of kinds of grains and fruits are mixed into porridge, and the price of more than seven catties is three cents."

So Lu Su could no longer suppress the expressions on his face, and in the end, all that was left was envy.

In today's troubled times, how the people live is very clear, he has seen all the way.

There are strong enemies outside the Song Dynasty, and there are harsh taxes inside, and a porridge can't be reached, and crying is just now.

Even the overflowing scene of Taicang during the time of Emperor Xiaojing recorded by Taishi Gong can be dwarfed by the wealth of grain production in later generations.

At this point, thinking about the New Year's events that the younger generations talked about at this time, Lu Su sighed:

"We are waiting for the festival to feast, and the younger generations are so rich, I don't know what kind of glory can the celebration be?"

[The changes in the customs of the young year are relatively simple, but through the records of the stove sugar used in the sacrificial stove in various eras, we can clearly see the changes in ancient sweets.

In terms of sugar sources, sweets in ancient times can be roughly divided into three categories: honey, maltose, and sucrose.

In the "Biography of Gao Shi" written by Huangfu Mi, the great-grandson of Huangfu Song during the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that a person named Jiang Qi "animal bees" produced honey and wax, which officially opened the prelude to domesticating bees.

He has written the first acupuncture and moxibustion work in China, such as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Sutra", and also wrote books such as the Biography of Yi Shi, the Biography of Lienu, and the Century of Emperors of the Past Dynasties.

Because of the relationship between the sweet and durable honey, it has been favored by the powerful in ancient times, so the beekeeping industry has been improving from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty.

However, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the ancient method of beekeeping has always been used in Huaxia, using hollow wooden barrels, eroded hollow wood and other things to forcibly move bee breeding, and finally destroy the barrel to extract honey, the efficiency is extremely low, and the modern reusable live frame beehives and honey shakers are completely incomparable.

Therefore, in ancient times, honey has always been the exclusive domain of the powerful, and it is not the mainstream of sweets.

In addition to honey, there have been small sweets wars between maltose and sucrose in history.

Maltose is a modern name, in ancient times there is a well-known name is the glutton, this thing has a long history of eating, the earliest can be traced back to the Book of Songs into the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wu Zhou Dynasty, it is considered the golden age of gluttony, the technology of making maltose with sorghum and millet, and the method of decoction with higher yields are all from this time, but from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the consumption of gluttony in ancient times is becoming less and less, and the fate of maltose in ancient times has changed from prosperity to decline.

The reason for this change is the rise of sucrose, which is not unfamiliar to us.

Wang Xuance's roar brought back the sugarcane sugar making technique for Li Erfeng, and this technique took root in Huaxia.

In the subsequent Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the sugarcane sugar production method has been improving, and the quantity and quality of cane sugar have steadily increased year by year, and it has also successfully defeated honey and starch on the table, becoming the best choice for the ancients to taste sweetness.

In addition, this little war for sweets is enough to correspond to the sudden decline of ancient beer.

According to modern research, the manufacturing process of liquor called "liquor" recorded in ancient times included the steps of germination, saccharification, and liquorization, and it can be confirmed that it is beer in its original state.

According to the records, this kind of primitive beer originated in Shang, flourished in the Han Dynasty, and was lost in the Tang Dynasty, and the decline of the Ao in time can be matched, after all, the essence of the Yao is maltose, and the technology and beer brewing are derived from each other.

Another reason is that in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the two phoenixes destroyed Gaochang, in addition to achieving the strategic goal in the Western Regions, they successfully obtained complete winemaking technology from Gaochang and mare's milk grapes, which are known as treasures.

The front and back pinching made the sucrose a big victory, and also made the sucrose process have made great progress.

Relying on high-quality cane sugar, from the Song and Yuan dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese merchants who went to sea also successfully monopolized the entire Southeast Asian sugar market and gained massive wealth. 】

"If you talk about sweetness, the syrup is indeed far from sucrose."

Subconsciously licked his lips, Li Shimin gave a conscious and fair evaluation, and then glanced at Sun Simiao with a slight resentment.

He can understand why he ordered the imperial dining room to reduce the sweet and sour fish to once a month? I'm not the thirst-quenching Cao Pi!

But under the insistence of Imperial Physician Sun, and thinking about the name of diabetes in later generations, Li Shimin finally had to pinch his nose and accept Imperial Physician Sun's request.

As a result, whenever these delicious things are mentioned now, Li Shimin inevitably criticizes Sun Simiao in his heart.

Sun Simiao didn't move, and he didn't even give Emperor Tang a look.

Li Shimin didn't mind, and the mood of interest in the back turned into great joy:

"There is such a treasure in this Gaochang Kingdom!?"

There was a movement in my heart: since fat cows, fat sheep and cane sugar are not edible, it is not bad to be able to drink wine.

This Gaochang country has both brewing methods and things for brewing, isn't it a godsend?

Li Shimin was full of interest.
