Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

Under the canopy, the common people from all over the world were holding branches on the ground, drawing sketches of millstones.

Compared with the previous treading pestle, the millstone is relatively more delicate and more difficult to make.

At least if the previous treading pestle only required hands, then the production of the millstone also required some brains.

After all, how many inclined grooves should the millstone have, how deep should the channels be, and how the upper and lower millstones should be able to cooperate with each other, etc.

These all require the common people to think, try, and make them many times before they can slowly make a truly usable millstone.

Although the production of the millstone is more troublesome, the common people are not going to give up.

First, the millstone is really easy to use.

At least from the efficiency shown on the canopy, it is dozens or hundreds of times more efficient than the manual stone mill they used before.

Second, if they can't make a more complex millstone. Then, can't they make a relatively simpler push-type stone mill?

In the process of inventing, improving and making millstones, the prince Fusu and Xiangli Ji on the sky curtain invented the push-type stone mill that put the stone mill flat at the beginning."Nine four, nine four zero, zero" is also acceptable to them.

It is on a flat stone table, and then a round wooden stake is placed on it, and then a hole is opened in the center of the wooden stake, and then a long stick is passed through the center.

Then put the grain that needs to be ground into powder on the flat stone table.

Finally, you can walk around the flat stone table while pushing the stone mill back and forth to grind the grain on the flat stone table into powder.

Although the grinding efficiency of this push-type stone mill is not as high as that of the millstone, it is at least much higher than their original manual stone mill.

So even if a more useful millstone cannot be made, it is acceptable for them, the common people, to make a relatively easy-to-use push-type stone mill.

In Xianyang City, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng looked at the millstone displayed on the sky curtain. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Xiang Liji behind him and asked:

"Xiangli Lord, if you were to judge, could the common people of the world make millstones themselves?"

Hearing the question from the First Emperor, Xiangli Ji immediately closed his eyes and began to imagine the various difficulties in making millstones, and whether the common people of the world could overcome the relevant production difficulties.

After a long deduction, Xiangli Ji finally answered:

"Can!"

"Although the production of grinding discs is somewhat difficult, if the people of the world are willing to try many times,"

"Then I estimate that most of the common people in the world can slowly make the millstone after trying to make it three or five times and spending two or three months."

After hearing Xiang Liji's answer, Emperor Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Although Xiang Liji didn't know why the First Emperor asked this, he was relieved in his heart, as if he had escaped an unknown disaster.

Originally, Emperor Qin Shi Huang thought that the grinding efficiency of the millstone was very high. If the millstone could be promoted to the world, then the common people in the world would not have to waste so much time on grinding wheat in the future.

They can spend more time on farming, or textiles, etc.

So if the common people in the world can't make the millstone by their own ability, then Emperor Qin Shi Huang planned to add the production of the millstone to the tasks of the Mohist School.

But since Xiang Liji said that the common people in the world can make the millstone by themselves by their own ability, at most after spending some time.

Then he didn't plan to continue to add tasks to the Mohist School. After all, the Mohist School now has a lot of tasks.

【After presenting white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved methods of making pasta, Zhongli Chun and other peasant children from the Herb Division also invented another cooking method, which was called stir-fry.】

【It is to use iron to cast a pan like a plate, or to make the iron into a semicircular concave bottom iron pan, and then put meat and vegetables on it to stir-fry until cooked.】

【The original source of this cooking idea was that a farmer's son from Baicaosi was cooking food in a clay pot. Suddenly, he had an idea: if he didn't add water and just put meat and vegetables in to"cook", what would the result be?】

【The answer is, it smells delicious!】

【Compared with cooking, stir-frying does not involve soup. Instead, it is just gravy and sauce poured over the meat and vegetables. The texture of stir-fried meat and vegetables is also completely different from that of boiled meat and vegetables, as well as roasted meat and vegetables.】

【If paired with a bowl of fragrant white rice, the taste is simply amazing!】

【Later, because the opening of the clay pot was too narrow to be used for stir-frying, the peasants of Baicao Division changed it to a flat clay plate that was convenient for stir-frying.】

【Then, because the heat permeability of the clay pot was not good enough, other utensils were used for cooking.】

【After many attempts, the farmers of Baicaosi finally found that the flat-bottomed or concave-bottomed iron pans made of iron were the most suitable for cooking.】

【And the dishes cooked in this way are the most fragrant and delicious.】

【At least, both King Ying Zheng of Qin and Crown Prince Fusu were very satisfied with the new cooking method developed by Baicaosi.】

【Even for this reason, Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fusu specially ordered the chefs in their respective palaces to come to Baicaosi to learn how to cook and how to make white jade tofu and bean sprouts.】

【As for the other things that the Herb Bureau had researched, King Ying Zheng of Qin and Crown Prince Fusu both specifically told their respective chefs not to learn them.】

【There was no other way. After seeing the death row prisoners and heavy prisoners being escorted nearby, they would occasionally eat all kinds of strange foods developed by the farmers of the Baicao Division.】

【This led to symptoms including, but not limited to, bleeding from all seven orifices, hysteria, diarrhea, and even sudden death.】

【Even Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fusu admitted that the stir-fried vegetables, white jade tofu and bean sprouts developed by the farmers of Baicaosi were delicious.】

【However, we also have to admit that other things developed by farmers such as Baicaosi are sometimes really deadly.】

【However, even Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fusu were very satisfied with the new cooking method developed by Baicaosi.】

【However, neither King Ying Zheng nor Prince Fusu rewarded the peasants of the Herb Department again.】

【Although stir-frying is delicious, it has a fatal flaw: it consumes a lot of oil!】

【Because if you don't add oil when cooking, the meat and vegetables will easily become a mushy burnt paste or even black charcoal, which is simply inedible..........】

【In this era, ointments are basically derived from the fat of animals and livestock..........】

【For ordinary people, this is also a rare commodity no less precious than salt.】

【Therefore, even if this new cooking method of stir-frying was taught to ordinary people, ordinary people could not use it, or were reluctant to use it.】

【After all, the oil needed to simply stir-fry a dish is enough for an ordinary family to use for ten days, half a month, or even one or two months.】

【Therefore, it was destined that this new cooking method of stir-frying would be mostly spread among the nobility.】

【Although this enriched the diet of the nobility, it did not have much effect on ordinary people.】

【At least it is far less useful to ordinary people than the white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved pasta making methods invented earlier.】

【After all, after white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved pasta making methods were passed on to ordinary people, ordinary people could really improve their lives greatly because of these kinds of food.】

【Therefore, King Ying Zheng of Qin and Prince Fusu simply gave him a verbal commendation and some material rewards.】

【Unless the peasants of the Herb Department find a way to make oil more abundant, and turn oil from a rare commodity into a common commodity that can be widely used by ordinary people.】

【Then, the new cooking method of stir-frying can bring about earth-shaking changes to ordinary people, just like the white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved pasta making methods mentioned above.】

【At that time, Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Prince Fusu will certainly confer titles on him. 】

Under the sky, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng looked at the evaluation of the new cooking method of"stir-frying" by another"self" and Prince Fusu, and nodded slightly.

Indeed, without enough oil, even if the stir-frying tastes good, it is difficult to really promote it among the people.

And if it cannot be really promoted among the people, then this thing can only exist as a rare 4.7"treasure".

4.7

And for a country, things like"treasures" can be there, but they can also be absent.

At least, if stir-frying and white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved pasta making methods are placed in front of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, and he can only choose one.

Then Qin Emperor Ying Zheng will only hesitate among the three of white jade tofu, bean sprouts, and improved pasta making methods, and will never take stir-frying into consideration.

Of course, since the sky is giving him a new cooking method of"stir-frying" for free, he will not refuse it.

The common people were short of oil, but as the first emperor, he had plenty of it, so of course he wanted to try the taste of the stir-fried dishes that his other self and the crown prince Fusu praised.

So Emperor Qin Yingzheng looked at the Shang Shi Ling on the other side again, and the Shang Shi Ling nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

It's just stir-fried dishes, and it doesn't look difficult.

He made sure that the first emperor and other civil and military officials would have a good meal at the banquet behind the canopy.......

PS1: What really limits the spread of stir-frying is not only the iron pan, but also the important factor of oil.

Without enough oil, you can't stir-fry, or in other words, stir-frying without oil will not taste good even if you stir-fry..
