Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 143 Eating Hot Pot, Bragging Pen

'hiss……'

A mouthful of spicy hot-boiled mutton was thrown into the mouth, and a feeling like an explosion came from his mouth instantly, sweeping every taste bud in his body, just one mouthful, Li Shimin's forehead was full of beans. Sweating, I had to look around for water, picked up the big bowl on the table, took a sip of strong wine, and a hot feeling suddenly swept my whole body.

Qin Chao looked on and wanted to grin wildly, but he didn't dare...

Baijiu paired with hot pot is not inedible, but people who are extremely fond of both will absolutely not be able to accept this kind of double-sided taste bud stimulation.

It can be said that Tang people have never eaten chili, and the only spiciness is still a trace from the pepper, which is almost negligible.

In terms of eating, the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether they say they are poor donkeys, or pursue the original taste, in terms of seasoning, the people of the Tang Dynasty don't use much.

Qin Chao picked up a piece of mutton, lightly rinsed it in the boiling pot for a few times, and after confirming that it was cooked through, he dipped some ingredients into his mouth.

Li Shimin and others looked at Qin Chao, but waited and waited, a huge sense of loss suddenly struck.

The imaginary scene didn't happen. Qin Chao's ability to adapt to this spicy taste obviously exceeded their expectations.

The numbness is enough, but the spiciness is still not enough. I still have to find a way to find real chili, but because of the material problem, I can barely give it a [-]%.Qin Chao muttered secretly in his heart.

Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to believe this evil, just like Qin Chao, picked up a piece of mutton, boiled it in a hot pot, and put it directly into his mouth.

'Pooh!Pooh!Pooh! ...'

As soon as the mutton was in his mouth, Cheng Yaojin spat it out in one gulp, his dark face was rosy, and his mouth and nose were full of rough breath.

"Boy, is this for people to eat?" Cheng Yaojin was extremely dissatisfied.

It's okay to make this pot out of copper in private, but it's so unpalatable...

"Of course it's for human consumption. If your Majesty and your uncles can't accept the taste here, you can try the other side." Qin Chao pointed to the bottom of the clear soup pot opposite.

"This clear soup lacks water..." Cheng Yaojin complained, but the chopsticks dropped into the clear soup unambiguously.

The so-called clear soup is not a real clear soup. In addition to green onion, ginger and garlic, Chinese herbs such as salt, red dates, and angelica are also added, and then combined with the dipping sauce. Although it is not as good as red soup, it is definitely beyond the imagination of Tang people.

Cheng Yaojin just tried it out, but soon he was completely conquered by the bottom of the clear soup pot. He poured a whole plate of mutton rolls into the bottom of the clear soup pot. For fear of being robbed first.

Li Shimin and others also tried it, and found that the taste is really good, which is very different from the taste on the other side. Although it is light, eating hot hot pot in this weather has a special flavor.

only……

Why do I still want to eat over there?
Qin Chao felt that his outlook on life had been completely destroyed. Creating hot pot might have been a big mistake for him.

It was a good hot pot, but it was made nonsense by these monarchs and ministers.

The clear soup is certainly suitable for the taste of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also novel enough.

However, several monarchs and ministers who have tried the red soup are not satisfied with the clear soup. They still can’t forget the red soup. After trying it a few times, it is still difficult to accept. After eating such heavy-tasting food, they couldn't accept it physically for a while.

Therefore, the nimble Changsun Wuji came up with a trick to make Qin Chao feel that his outlook on life was destroyed.

The servants of the Cheng family brought several braziers with clear water in the shape of a hot pot.

Well, Qin Chao forgot that the Tang Dynasty did not use coal as a fuel on a large scale, so it also includes the underside of the hot pot, which is the unanimous brazier.

Boil it in red soup, then rinse it in clear water to remove some of the spicy taste on it, and then put it in your mouth. Although it still feels spicy, it is not unacceptable.

The few monarchs and ministers ate with gusto, but it was hard for Qin Chao.

After half-full meal and three rounds of wine, several monarchs and ministers couldn't help but marveled at the hot pot, and each of them asked Qin Chao to make more bites for them.

Qin Chao could only agree with a smile, nonsense, what else could he do besides agreeing?

"Boy, did you make that cement block?" The meal was almost finished, and Changsun Wuji also started the mode of talking about things, as always implementing the style of talking about things at the Huaxia dinner table.

"The cement was thought of by the boy, but the cement blocks that His Majesty and your uncles saw were not made by the boy. The boy just put forward an idea, and Chu Mo was in charge of the specific operation." Qin Chao added. He didn't rush to ask for credit, nor did he plan to ask for credit. Anyway, he couldn't escape if it was his own, and he couldn't force it if it wasn't his own.

"How is the production of this product?" Fang Xuanling asked immediately, but directly ignored Qin Chao's words.

Li Shimin often made some decisions, and then left them to the officials to resolve. Could it be said that this matter was not done by Li Shimin?Therefore, since it was Qin Chao's idea and his instigation, this matter belongs to him, so there is no need to question it.

"I don't know, kid. Chu Mo is responsible for this matter from the beginning to the end. Why don't you call Chu Mo to let him answer?" Qin Chao scratched his head. If he knew about this, it would be a ghost.

"Forget it, know the festival, just call your kid over and ask." Li Shimin looked at Qin Chao calmly, a little unpredictable, how could he give credit to others?

Cheng Chumo was not far outside the house, and he returned to the house in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Yaojin lost his previous politeness and directly explained the previous question.

Cheng Chumo was still a little worried at first, but when he heard these questions, the worries in his heart dissipated in an instant, replaced by a confident face, everything was handled by himself, it can be said that no one is better than himself Know more about every detail of this cement.

"The output of cement is mainly determined by the amount of limestone mining and the output of the kiln. As long as the mining amount and firing output can keep up, the output of finished cement will not be low. As for the rest of the ingredients, clay and so on It is everywhere, and gypsum is another form of lime. Oh, yes, the limestone needs to be crushed. This may take some time, but the burnt limestone is easy to break into foam. I can hit ten carts." Cheng Chumo said triumphantly, these are all the results of his careful research these days.

"If there is no steel bar, what is the effect? ​​Can we use other things that are easy to find instead?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

"Without steel bars, the effect will be worse, but it is still enough to deal with ordinary wars. And the city walls with steel bars, my brother calls them permanent fortifications." Cheng Chumo continued to sigh.

"Permanent fortifications?" Li Shimin seemed to have grasped the key point of the question.

"That is, the world will not be destroyed, the fortifications will not be destroyed, and if it is completed once, it will not need large-scale repairs for tens of hundreds of years, or even repairs at all. It will not be afraid of wind and rain, and will not be afraid of the sun."
