Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

Why does the dough grow two to three times larger after it has been left to stand for a period of time?

Zhong Lichun on the sky curtain explained, but he did not fully explain it.

Because Zhong Lichun and other farmers on the sky curtain did not know why this happened, they just discovered this magical phenomenon by chance.

And they determined that this magical phenomenon can be reproduced, and that this phenomenon can indeed increase the amount of pasta by two to three times.

As for what exactly is behind this magical phenomenon, perhaps the farmers on the sky curtain and the farmers in this world need to study and understand it more deeply before they can get the answer.

As for ordinary people in Guizhou, although they are also curious about why the dough grows larger after it has been left to stand for a period of time.

But if this reason is not explained to them, they will not care too much.

After all, most ordinary people in Guizhou are actually pragmatists.

So why the dough grows larger after it has been left to stand for a period of time is not important.

What is important is that as long as they follow this, their dough can also grow two to three times larger after it has been left to stand for a period of time, that's enough!

In addition, the pestle and stone mill needed for making pasta are not difficult to find, and almost every household has them.

After all, even if you don't make pasta, the common people often need to shell grain or other crops.

There are also many crops that sometimes need stone mills.

So when there is no shortage of tools, and wheat is one of the staple foods, basically most common people have more or less wheat in their homes.

Therefore, common people from all over the world have begun to try to make pasta.

After all, the original portion of dough can now become two or three portions of dough. Where can you find such a cheap and cost-effective thing.

Not only did the common people start to try to make pasta, but Qin Emperor Ying Zheng in Xianyang City also looked at the Shangshi Ling beside him.

Feeling the sight of the First Emperor looking over, the Shangshi Ling immediately nodded, indicating that he understood what the First Emperor meant.

So the Shangshi Ling waved to the officials behind him again, and called one of them.

Then the Imperial Cook Order asked the clerk to convey to the Imperial Cook Assistant in the kitchen that the First Emperor wanted to eat the noodles that had been left out for a period of time. The clerk who received the order immediately walked quickly towards the kitchen. The

Imperial Cook Assistant in the kitchen, before receiving the order, had already ordered people to try to make the noodles on the sky curtain after seeing that noodles could be made in this way.

After all, not to mention that the First Emperor wanted to try what noodles made from dough that had been left out for a period of time would taste like, even he himself wanted to try it.

There were also nobles from the six countries all over the world, such as Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang, Tian Dan and other nobles from the six countries, who criticized verbally while ordering the servants around them to make noodles that had been left out for a period of time as the sky curtain said.

【Xu Zi, who was eating noodles with a completely different taste than before, couldn't help but sigh:"The noodles taste really good after being left for a while."】

【"It is soft and has a light wheat aroma."】

【"Unfortunately, if you want to eat such a portion of noodles, you have to pound the rice to remove the shells first, and then use a stone mill to grind it into flour. The process is quite time-consuming and laborious, and it is rare."】

【"If it weren't so difficult and troublesome to grind wheat into flour, I would like to eat this pasta every day."】

【As he spoke, Xu Zishi would occasionally turn his head to look at Prince Fusu.】

【Prince Fusu also noticed Xu Zi's actions and asked curiously,"Master Xu, why are you looking at me like this?"】

【Seeing that his actions finally caught the attention of Crown Prince Fusu, Xu Zi was a little embarrassed but asked with a fiery and expectant look:"I want to ask Your Highness, do you have any ideas for improving the flour you have developed?"】

【After all, although the improved pasta is good, developing flour is a time-consuming and laborious process.】

【If the tools for making flour can be improved, then the promotion of this pasta will not be a problem.】

【Similarly, in the future, it will no longer be so difficult and troublesome for ordinary people to eat noodles.】

【This can be said to be a great thing that benefits the people of the world.】

【That's why Xu Zi deliberately looked at Prince Fusu frequently, just to attract Prince Fusu's attention, and then bring up this topic.】

【After hearing what Xu Zi said, Prince Fusu did not refuse directly. Instead, he looked at Zhong Lichun and other farmers from the Herb Department and said,"Show me the tools and process of making flour.""】

【The improved noodles taste much better than the previous ones, and Prince Fusu also likes it very much.】

【So in order to be able to eat more of this kind of noodles in the future, and to save the people who are responsible for making flour from working so hard,】

【Therefore, Prince Fusu was also willing to see if he could make some useful improvements to the development of pasta.】

【After hearing the words of Prince Fusu, Zhongli Chun and other peasants from the Herb Department immediately ran out.】

【After all, the intelligence of Prince Fusu is well known to everyone in the six ministries.】

【In particular, the story of Prince Fusu inventing and improving the plow and curved plow had already spread among the six ministries, especially the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry.】

【It can be said that the children of farmers in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry and the children of Mohists all knew that Prince Fusu was very good at inventing and improving tools.】

【So when they heard that Prince Fusu might help them improve the tools for grinding flour, they were naturally more excited and looking forward to it than anyone else.】

【In just a moment, a group of farmers from the Baicao Division had already brought over the mortars and stone mills that they had used to grind flour.】

【"Your Highness, please look, this is the mortar stone used to husk grains."】

【"The mortar stones used to pound grain are usually heavy and difficult to move, so most of them are embedded in the ground."】

【"Just put the grain into the groove of the mortar stone and pound it continuously with the pestle."】

【"But if you smash it too much, your arms will get sore easily."】

【A farmer's son from the Herb Department said this as he swept the groove of the mortar clean and poured some wheat into it.】

【Then he picked up a pestle as thick as his arm and began to pound it repeatedly to remove the husk from the wheat.】

【After repeatedly pounding for a while, the farmer finally stopped, then lowered his head to clean out the wheat husks and wheat from the groove of the mortar.】

【Then, we have to pick out the wheat from the mixture of husks and wheat.】

【Finally, the wheat was placed on the groove in the middle of the stone mill. Then another farmer from the Herb Department held a flat millstone with both hands and moved it back and forth in the middle.】

【"Your Highness, this is the stone mill used to grind flour."】

【"Just put the wheat into this stone mill and grind it back and forth continuously, and the wheat will gradually be ground into flour."】

【"However, if you grind more often, your arms will also get sore easily."】

【The farmer who was in charge of grinding said as he was grinding.】

【Prince Fusu listened to their story while silently watching the wheat in the middle of the stone mill being ground into powder and then flour, and gradually fell into deep thought.】

【He seemed to have heard about the problem of arms getting sore easily somewhere before.】

【When Prince Fusu was lost in thought and no one around dared to disturb him,】

【The little raccoon slave who was previously adopted by Prince Fusu suddenly jumped from Zhang Han's body and jumped onto Prince Fusu's shoulder.】

【The Crown Prince Fusu, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses because of the little raccoon's sudden action.】

【But at the same time, he also remembered where he had heard about the problem of arms getting sore easily.】

【"If my arms get sore easily, would it be better to use my feet instead?"】

【Prince Fusu looked at everyone and smiled.】

【"Use your feet?"】

【"Use your feet to pound rice to remove the husk?"】

【"How to pound rice to remove the husk using your feet?"】

【"And how about grinding wheat into flour with your feet?"】

【The farmers present all murmured in confusion.】

【Prince Fusu looked at the Minister of Works Xiangli Ji and said,"I wonder if Minister Xiangli still remembers the pedal loom?"】

【When Xiang Liji heard the words"pedal loom", an idea flashed through his mind, and he laughed and said,"Yes, it's a pedal loom!"】

【Seeing this, Prince Fusu also showed a smile on his face.】

【The farm children of the Textile Department also encountered the problem of sore arms when weaving.】

【At that time, the peasants of the Textile Department and the Mohist disciples worked together to change the loom into a pedal-operated loom, thus solving the problem of arm soreness.】

【To be honest, the structure of a pedal loom is much more complicated than that of a rice pounding machine.】

【If such a complex textile machine can be changed into a pedal-operated one, then there is no reason why rice pounding machine cannot be changed into a pedal-operated one.】

【In fact, this is indeed the case. After Prince Fusu gave this suggestion, Xiang Liji immediately thought of how to change the manual rice pounding to a foot-operated rice pounding.】

【After all, the key to pounding rice is to keep the pestle moving up and down to pound the grains.】

【The pedal-operated rice pounding machine is actually a method of using the foot to control the pestle to pound the grains up and down.】

【But how can we control the club head with our feet?】

【It's very simple. Just add a link between the foot and the pestle head so that the pestle head can be moved when the foot moves.】

【For example, use a long wooden board, tie one end to the pestle head, place the other end under your feet, and then add a fulcrum in the middle for leverage.】

【In this way, as long as you step lightly on the end of the pestle that is not tied to the pestle head, the other end tied to the pestle head will rise high.】

【Then, he loosened his foot slightly, and the pestle head that had been raised high would fall down with a bang, hitting the wheat in the groove of the mortar.】

【Finally, the wheat is hit back and forth by the pestle, and the husk wrapped around it will gradually break, revealing the wheat grains inside.】

【The whole process can be said to be simple and easy, without any hands-on work, just moving your feet】

【A group of farmers and Mohists gathered around the improved rice pounding tool and took turns to test it with great interest.】

【Xu Zi, who was standing by, exclaimed:"This thing is great! This thing is great! With this thing, the common people in the world will no longer have to work so hard to pound rice in the future.""】

【Even King Ying Zheng of Qin looked at Xiang Li Ji with admiration. The Mohist school was indeed very useful!】

【Zhongli Chun also looked at Xiangli Ji and asked,"What is the name of this thing?"】

【Xiang Liji shook his head and said,"This thing was suggested by Your Highness. Please give it a name."】

【Prince Fusu also shook his head and declined Xiangli Ji's kindness, saying,"I only proposed this direction. The one who actually invented it was Shangshu Xiangli."】

【"So it would be best if the minister of Xiangli named it."】

【After hearing what Prince Fusu said, Xiang Liji did not delay.】

【After all, it was just the naming of an ordinary little object. Neither he nor Crown Prince Fusu would lack such naming opportunities.】

【So since Prince Fusu said not to name it, then he would name it.】

【After thinking for a while, Xiang Liji said:"Since it is pounded by stepping on the feet, let's call it 'Tazhu'."】

【As soon as the word"Tazhu" came out, everyone repeated it several times, and then praised it in unison:"What a good name, it really lives up to its name!"】

【"Pedaling the pestle, pedaling the pestle, isn't it just pounding rice with your feet?"】

【"Later, the treadle pestle became more and more popular.���It is no longer a hard work for the people."】

【"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shangshu Xiangli, for inventing the treadle pestle to improve life for the common people of the world!"】.
