Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

"It’s really gotten bigger!"

"You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to add anything. After kneading the dough, just leave it there. It will slowly grow in size by itself, and it can more than double in size!"

"If you keep letting it go, it will even double in size!"

"How is this done?"

"Or is there some key step in the middle that we missed?"......

The common people from all over the world were talking about the dough on the sky that had expanded more than twice its size.

Not to mention the common people from all over the world were confused.

Even the emperor and ministers in Xianyang City, such as Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian, and Tingwei Li Si, as well as the nobles of the six countries such as Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang, and the folk wise men such as Xiao He and Cao Shen, were all puzzled.

Even though they were extremely intelligent, they didn't understand what was going on.

If Zhongli Chun on the sky did something extra to the dough, or added something to make the dough bigger, then they could understand it.���

After all, new changes were added to the process, and then the results also changed accordingly. This is normal and understandable.

But the problem is that Zhongli Chun did not do anything extra and did not add anything extra.

But why would a good dough grow by itself after standing for a period of time?

This is equivalent to the process not changing at all, but the result suddenly changing.

This is completely beyond their understanding.

It can't be said that after the dough is kneaded, it suddenly comes to life, just like people or livestock, and grows up slowly by themselves, right?

This is not normal at all, and it is impossible!

How can ordinary dough have life?

But if there is no life, how can the dough grow slowly by itself?

The conflict caused by inherent cognition and the inexplicable result made everyone stare at Zhongli Chun on the sky with puzzled eyes, eagerly and expectantly hoping that he could give an answer.

【Xu Zi looked at Zhong Lichun in shock and asked,"Why is that?"】

【After kneading the dough, I did nothing and added nothing. However, after the dough was left to rest for a while, it actually doubled in size.】

【According to what Zhong Lichun said before, the dough will at least double in size.】

【This change really made Xu Zi feel puzzled and curious.】

【Of course, not only Xu Zi, but also King Ying Zheng of Qin, Prince Fusu and others were also very curious about the reason for this change.】

【Hearing Xu Zi's question, Zhong Lichun showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face and said,"Well, actually we don't know why this happened."】

【"Because you can see that our previous method is the same as the pasta method"】

【"The only difference is that after making it, we let the dough rest for a while.¨．¨"】

【"So we guess that during the period of resting, some small changes that we don't know about or can't see have occurred in the dough."】

【"But we haven't figured out what this change is yet."】

【"At present, we can only confirm that kneading the dough and letting it rest for a period of time can indeed make the dough two to three times larger than the original size."】

【Hearing Zhong Lichun's answer, Xu Zi was also shocked.】

【After a long while, Xu Zifang continued to ask:"Then how did you find out that after kneading the dough and letting it rest for a period of time, the dough can become two to three times larger than before?"】

【At this point, Zhong Lichun scratched his head in embarrassment and said,"Teacher, do you remember what we talked about earlier about how to use less food so that more people can have enough food?"】

【"At that time, we not only ground the beans into powder, but also prepared to make soup"】

【"Rice, millet, sorghum and wheat were also ground into powder and prepared to be used for soup."】

【"Some of the flour was ground from wheat and kneaded into dough with water."】

【"Then when you are ready to go further, someone else suddenly needs help."】

【"So we put the dough aside and moved on to other things."】

【"After another hour or two, when I was done with other things, I looked back at the dough and found that it was two to three times larger than before."】

【"At that time, we asked others if they had done anything with the dough."】

【"But everyone else said no, and then we thought again about whether we did anything special when kneading the dough, or added anything special."】

【"Then still nothing, the process and steps of kneading that dough are basically the same as kneading other doughs before."】

【"So in order to verify whether the sudden increase in the size of the dough was a miracle that cannot be replicated, or whether there were other reasons that we don't know about."】

【"Then we used new flour and kneaded a new piece of dough in the same way as before."】

【"Then we put the kneaded dough there and no one touched it."】

【"Then something magical happened. As long as the kneaded dough was left there, it would slowly double or triple in size after about an hour or two."】

【"Then we tried to let it sit for a longer time to see if the dough would become bigger."】

【"However, according to our current research, after the dough has been left to rest for one or two hours, it can only grow two to three times its original size."】

【"Even if you leave it alone for a longer time, the dough will not continue to grow."】

【"At least, that's what we did when we left a piece of dough to rest for seven days and nights."】

【After hearing Zhong Lichun's explanation, everyone present showed a look of confusion.】

【In general, the fact that the dough would expand after being left to rest for one or two hours was discovered by a group of farmers from the Baicao Department by accident.】

【As for why the dough has such strange changes, they don't know】

【The only two things they knew were that the dough would double or triple in size after being left to rest for an hour or two.】

【Another thing is that after the dough has doubled or tripled in size, it will not grow any larger even if it is left to rest for a longer period of time.】

【Zhong Lichun seemed to suddenly remember something and added:"In addition, after our research, we found that the pasta made from the dough after it has been left to rest is particularly soft and delicious."】

【"It tastes much better than pasta that has not been rested!"】

【"I will make some for your majesty, your highness, and all the gentlemen to taste."】

【After that, Zhongli Chun began to call on other disciples of the Herb Division to work together to make steamed buns, and then steamed them in a steamer.】

【But within half an hour, King Ying Zheng of Qin, Prince Fusu and others were eating steamed buns that tasted completely different from before.】

【The steamed buns made from the dough after it has been left to rest are indeed, as Zhongli Chun said, softer and more delicious than the steamed buns made from the dough that has not been left to rest.】

【King Ying Zheng of Qin, who was eating a steamed bun, couldn't help but sigh:"¨「¨「Why has no one noticed before that the dough can become two to three times larger than its original size just by leaving it to rest for a while?"】

【After all, if you really want to talk about it, it is not difficult at all, and there is no need to make any improvements to the original pasta making method. You just need to let it sit for a while after kneading the dough.】

【Although Qin King Ying Zheng just sighed casually, Zhongli Chun and other farmers from the Herb Department had thought about this issue.】

【"Because pasta is not easy to make, you need to pound the rice to remove the shells first, and then use a stone mill to grind it into flour."】

【"Ordinary people don't know that if the dough is left to rest for a period of time, it can double or triple in size, so they often don't waste time and energy making pasta."】

【"Although princes and nobles can eat noodles, who dares to keep them waiting for a long time for the noodles they want?"】

【"Therefore, after the dough is kneaded, it is often made into pasta immediately and will not be left to stand for one or two hours."】

【"So no one has discovered that leaving the dough to rest for a period of time can cause it to double or triple in size, which is normal."】

【After hearing Zhongli Chun's answer, Qin King Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:"That makes sense!"】

【Then King Qin Ying Zheng asked again:"In addition to the white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and���In addition to the new pasta-making methods discovered, are there any other food inventions and discoveries?"】

【Zhong Lichun and other peasants from the Herb Department shook their heads and said,"Your Majesty, for now, we have only discovered these"】

【King Qin Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked:"Is the preparation of white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and new noodles the work of one of you or the joint efforts of all of you, the children of the farmers in the Baicao Division?"】

【Zhong Lichun and other peasants from the Herb Department looked at each other and said in unison:"Your Majesty, this is our joint achievement!"】

【King Qin Ying Zheng's expression did not change at all, and he said directly:"Okay, you guys study white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and the methods of making new noodles, which will benefit the Qin State and the people of the world."】

【"Zhong Lichun, the official of the Herb Department, was granted the second-class Shangzao title, and the rest of the peasant children of the Herb Department were granted the first-class Gongshi title."】

【Zhong Lichun and other peasants from the Herb Department all showed joy and thanked him,"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"】

【After the peasant children of the Textile Department and the First Division were awarded the first-class duke title, now the peasant children of the Herb Department have finally been awarded the first-class duke title.】

【Among them, Zhongli Chun was awarded the same second-class upper-rank title as Xu Zi and Xiang Li Ji, which made the peasant children of other departments envious.】

【At the same time, the peasants from other departments were secretly thinking about earning a title for themselves.】

【After all, as long as they achieve certain results, the King of Qin will really give them the title! 】.
