"Look at the color, the combination of meat and vegetables, the aroma..."
He took a deep breath and said, "It looks delicious!"
"Hahaha, it really is delicious!"
Wang Wan also followed suit.
Several other ministers also expressed their agreement and gave some praise.
Qi Pan said, "Alright, alright."
"Eat it quickly and taste it."
"Okay!"
Feng Quji, Wang Wan and other ministers responded and picked up their chopsticks.
Only after seeing Ying Zheng and Qi Pan put down their chopsticks did they start to eat.
These dishes made by Xiang Heliang are served with pickles.
It’s really delicious.
It tastes very good!
Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and others basically cleared out all the food on their tables.
After eating, Qi Pan touched his stomach and leaned back in his chair.
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, he drank it in small sips.
The three most important things in life are eating, sleeping and making money!
Only when you eat enough can you sleep well.
Only when you sleep well can you have the energy to make money.
He had previously given perfume, soap, and soap to several imperial merchants such as Jiang Xiang, and made a lot of money in Xianyang.
Qi Pan gave all the money he got to Ying Zheng.
Let him use it to build the Great Wall, highways, and water conservancy projects.
The weather is hot and there is drought in many places.
There is no water in the fields and the crops are dying.
Developing water conservancy projects is a major project.
The financial, material and human resources required are enormous.
The little money that Qi Pan and Ying Zheng earned can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, soaps, soaps, and perfumes have been sold to counties near Xianyang and spread to the entire Qin Dynasty.
By then, you will earn more and more money.
"National Master? National Master?"
Qi Pan was lost in thought when she heard someone calling her.
She looked up in confusion.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
She looked at Ying Zheng, then at Feng Quji, Wang Wan and others.
Blinking, he asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"I was distracted and wasn't paying attention. What did you say?"
Ying Zheng said, "They want to ask you how you pickle these vegetables."
oh.......
I was just asking her about pickling vegetables.
Qi Pan said, “That’s easy.”
"First, wash the vegetables you want to pickle and let them dry."
"Sun-dry until the stems are slightly wilted, then sprinkle with fine salt."
"Rub the leaves and stems vigorously."
"Rub until water comes out, then place them layer by layer into a clean tub."
"Pay attention, the large vat must be cleaned in advance and then dried."
“There can’t be any water stains.”
"After putting the vegetables into the large vat, put a few large stones and bluestone bricks on top."
"Put it in a cool place and let it rest."
"The next day, the pickled vegetables will release their juices, so just leave them alone."
"Wait half a month, and the pickles will be ready."
“When you’re ready to eat, you move the stones away, then after you’ve taken the pickles, push the stones back down to compact them.”
"It can be stored for a long time and will not spoil easily."
After hearing this, Feng Quji, Wang Wan and others quickly took note of it.
After returning home, he prepared to ask someone to pickle some vegetables according to this recipe.
Occasionally stir-fry it to improve the taste.
Before the ministers left, Qi Pan gave each of them a portion of pickles.
After everyone left, Qi Pan looked at Ying Zheng and said.
"Brother, please let me know when the next batch of money and food will be sent to build the Great Wall."
"I'll have someone go to the kitchen and take out all those big jars of pickled vegetables."
"Send them together."
"good."
Ying Zheng had no objection to this.
After nodding, he continued to talk about the method of pickling pickles that Qi Pan had just mentioned.
Write it down.
Prepare to hand it over to the soldiers who are transporting money and food, and let them send it together to the other side of the Great Wall.
Ask the chef over there to pickle some vegetables as well.
To replenish the physical strength of the laborers who were building the Great Wall.
It is better to add salt directly to the pickled vegetables than to the multi-grain porridge.
.........
Build the Great Wall border.
Many laborers are still carrying stones under the scorching sun in the hot summer.
Hammering gravel.
Ding ding dong dong.
There was a lot of noise everywhere.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
Wearing a woven straw hat on his head.
This is still Qipan, woven into a shape imitating the modern straw hat.
Then he summoned a large number of palace maids and taught them how to weave straw hats.
Then they were all transported here.
Even though everyone wore a straw hat on their head, blocking some of the sunlight.
But everyone's face was still tanned red.
"Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!"
"Put down what you're doing! Get in line!"
A soldier struck the gong in his hand and shouted loudly.
When the laborers heard this, they quickly put down their work.
Run over to queue up and get your food.
Then squat on the ground and eat.
In everyone's bowl was porridge made of millet, beans, and sorghum mixed with a few vegetable leaves.
The porridge is already thick.
Even if you stick chopsticks in it, it won't fall over.
"Huh?"
"Why is this porridge a little different today?"
Someone took a sip of porridge and said doubtfully.
He looked at the few vegetable leaves floating in the bowl and picked some up with his chopsticks.
Put it in your mouth.
Salty.
What kind of dish is this?
How come I haven’t seen it before?
