Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

After telling Jiang Qi about the dangers of bronze tools and seeing his unhappy expression, Jiang Tuan felt that it was not easy for the ancients either.

After much difficulty, they learned how to make bronze ware. In order to highlight the importance of bronze ware, they not only associated it with status, but also gave it a nice name "Ji Jin".

In the end, the so-called pure beauty is just your imagination, and it is true that it is bad for your health.

For Emperor Jiang Qi, he couldn't bear the dizziness and headache caused by the poison, let alone being poisoned to death.

He has to worry about national affairs every day, and he knows how important a clear mind is. If he has a headache every day, he will definitely not be able to govern the country well.

What should he do if he is unable to govern the country and the crown prince is unable to take responsibility for the dynasty and the people, facing internal and external troubles?

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to issue an order to ban the use of auspicious gold in the kitchen. Oh, and all other auspicious gold products that were frequently used in the palace should be put away.

The Queen has been feeling unwell these days, and he even suspected that she had been poisoned by using too many Jijin utensils!

People, it’s better to be more open-minded and not imagine too much. If you imagine too much, you will easily scare yourself.

Jiang Qi is just imagining too much and scaring himself.

Jiang Tuan didn't know about Jiang Qi's anxiety, and continued, "Your Majesty, I'm telling you this. If you want to believe it, don't use it anymore. It's best to let others stop using it too."

Believe it, believe it, how can I not believe it.

It wasn't because of the dream about the gods that Jiang Qi believed every word Jiang Tuan said, but he felt that Jiang Tuan would not lie to him for such a thing.

If Jiang Tuan really wanted to harm me, he could have just said nothing. Maybe one day I would be poisoned to death, and others wouldn't be able to find out the reason. It would have saved me a lot of trouble and effort.

Now Jiang Tuan has risked being doubted and spoken out about the matter, which means that he is here to help him, just as the gods said.

Thinking that Jiang Tuan was here to help him, Jiang Qi became more friendly towards him.

"Okay. I know. I won't use those golden utensils again."

"Oh, by the way, you'd better not eat the unrefined coarse salt you eat anymore."

Just as he was about to end the topic, Jiang Tuan turned around and saw the eunuch putting the purified salt into the jar. He thought of the salt problem again.

"Is the salt I eat poisonous?"

If Jiang Qi knew there was a word called "speechless", he would definitely use it to describe his current mood.

He was the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, but everything he ate and used was poisonous. Who could he ask for justice? Should he thank God for blessing him to be alive and well until now?

Jiang Tuan saw the depression on Jiang Qi's face and comforted him, "How should I put it? In fact, many things we eat are toxic. If we eat them in moderation, they will not cause much harm to the body.

But if you eat too much salt for a long time, it will make you feel uncomfortable. That’s what unrefined salt is like.”

Even with Jiang Tuan's comfort, Jiang Qi still decided to have someone purify the salt immediately. He couldn't eat it without purification.

The matter of Ji Jin and salt was not an important matter to Jiang Tuan. After telling Jiang Qi about it, he no longer took it to heart and continued to look at the finished tofu.

Maybe it was because the information provided by the system was very detailed, or maybe it was because Jiang Tuan had a talent for cooking, anyway, the tofu he made the first time was very good, neat and tidy, not too old or too tender, and it tasted delicious at first glance.

At this time, Ning Ling, who was ordered by him to find a knife, also brought him the knife.

Jiang Tuan looked at the silver-white knife in his hand and asked, "What is this knife made of?"

Ning Ling replied: "Sir, this is a silver knife."

Wow! Jiang Tuan exclaimed in his heart, what a guy!

Was it really necessary to take out a silver knife just to cut some tofu? Or did he underestimate the wealth of the privileged class in ancient times? A silver knife was insignificant to them?

Forget it, it’s just a silver knife, at least it can be used.

With a few cuts, Jiang Tuan cut the tofu into large pieces, and then cut the large piece into small pieces and brought them to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is tofu. This tofu is made with gypsum, which is more tender. You can also use brine to make tofu, which will be tougher."

Jiang Qi originally thought that the tofu pudding had already surprised him, but he didn't expect that the tofu was even more unbelievable.

He looked left and right and asked, "Should I eat this tofu like tofu pudding?"

"Of course not. Tofu pudding is a snack and cannot be used as a proper meal. Tofu is different. It can be eaten as a dish or a meal.

If conditions permit, put a little in it when stewing meat. If conditions do not permit, put a little in it when stewing vegetables.

If you are really poor, you don’t need to stew it. Just cut the tofu into pieces or mash it, put some leeks and chopped green onions in it, and finally add some salt, and you will have a delicious cold tofu dish. ”

As he was talking, Jiang Tuan's mouth was watering. When he thought of stewed pork in casserole, braised tofu, shrimp and tofu, etc., he immediately felt hungry.

Jiang Qi was very happy to hear Jiang Tuan say that there were so many ways to cook tofu. Other things were hard to come by for ordinary people, but beans were available in almost every household. If everyone learned how to make tofu, they would have one more food.

However, although the tofu was good, there was one thing that made him not very satisfied.

"This tofu is very good and easy to eat, but it doesn't look easy to store."

When productivity was low, people's requirements for food were just a few: high yield, good storage quality, and the ability to fill the stomach.

Among them, the storage stability is particularly important. Just like fruits and vegetables, why don’t we grow more of them?

Is it because they don't like it? Is it because the production is not large enough? Neither, the main reason is that it is not easy to store.

You work hard and finally harvest the food, but it starts to rot after just a few days. Who can stand this?

Therefore, as an emperor who understands people's livelihood, Jiang Qi is naturally very concerned about whether the food can be stored for a long time.

How could it be difficult to store? Jiang Tuan expressed his dissatisfaction on behalf of Tofu.

"Your Majesty, I only made you the most basic tofu. Beans can also be made into dried tofu, tofu shreds, etc., which can be stored longer than tofu.

If you want to store it for a longer time, you can make yuba, dried tofu skin, etc.

If you can't learn how to do those things, wait until the winter comes and just cut the tofu into small pieces and freeze them outside. They won't go bad for a long time.

When eating, put it in the pot and cook it together with meat and vegetables. It has a different taste from fresh tofu.

In addition to those, if there is enough salt, you can pickle the tofu or ferment it to make fermented bean curd, which can not only be kept for a longer time, but can also be eaten directly as a dish, which is simple and convenient. "
