It’s a pity that the pots and stoves here are still primitive earthenware pots and copper cauldrons.
Cao Xiong couldn't help but frown at the sight of it. He had also noticed during this period that his emperor was fine in other aspects except when it came to eating, and he really wouldn't tolerate any compromise.
And it is very innovative.
Even the kitchens in the palace were forced to rebuild a kitchen exactly the same as the one in Tianxiaju. They even brought cooking utensils with them when they went out this time.
Just because all the carriages were abandoned on the road, the cooking utensils were naturally abandoned as well.
If you use this kind of clay pot or copper pot to cook white meat now, I'm afraid it won't pass the test.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he saw that Zhao Xin had actually ordered the guards of the Nan family to build a bonfire in the courtyard and even ordered people to dig a ditch in the yard.
This action not only surprised Cao Xiong, but also the postmaster and all the postmen were stunned.
"Is this young man planning to live in his courtyard like those mountain people? Why is he lighting a bonfire?"
Confused, Cao Xiong ran over and asked Xiao Cui, who was busy and sweating but very excited, "Xiao Cui, what are the young master and your girl doing?"
"I don't know either. The young master said he wanted to do something called a 'Babi Kou'. Butler Cao, do you know what a 'Babi Kou' is?"
Xiao Cui actually didn't know what Zhao Xin was going to do, but she was at the age where she loved to play. Although she didn't understand what Zhao Xin was going to do, she thought it was very interesting.
How could Cao Xiong know what "Babi Kou" meant? Babi Kou, does it mean picking your nose? Why would you light a fire while picking your nose?
Just as he was puzzled, he heard Zhao Xin shouting, "Old Cao, what are you still standing there for? Come over and help me move these burnt charcoal into the ditch, cover them with soil, and then burn a few more piles."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xiong did not dare to delay and immediately ran forward to follow Zhao Xin's instructions, and did so together with the Nan family guards.
After he finished, he asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xin glanced at him and said, "Can't you see that? It's charcoal burning."
"Charcoal?"
Cao Xiong looked at the sky, a little confused, "Why are they burning charcoal in this hot weather?"
Yicheng and others were also a little confused.
Standing aside and blinking, he was puzzled, and even the mountain people couldn't help but look inside.
I feel that these Qin people are really weird.
However, it is rare to find that this noble young man from Qin can actually make charcoal.
One of the natives said in broken Daqin language: "You won't get any good charcoal if you burn it like this!"
The other natives laughed complacently and said, "Of course, the Qin people can't make good charcoal. We natives are better at making charcoal."
Zhao Xin certainly knew that good charcoal would not be produced in this way, but he did not need good charcoal, as long as it was fast.
After a while, I burned several more piles and felt that it was about done.
Zhao Xin then ordered people to use the excavated soil to build an earthen platform and dig a trench in the center of the platform, thus making a barbecue platform.
At the same time, Nan Luoying was directing everyone to chop the washed and skinned game and lamb into pieces and bring them over.
Asked: "Is this all right?"
Zhao Xin thought it was almost done, so he nodded and ordered Cao Xiong, "Bring the salt and the spices we brought, and marinate the meat with salt.
And we also brought some wine brewed from sweet potato residue. Bring it here and let the postmaster help us drop it into the well water to cool it down.
Then everyone go take a shower, and when you come back we can start Barbie Q."
No one understood what "babikou" meant, and why they had to shower and change clothes first, but after being busy for a long time, they all thought it was quite fun and couldn't help but look forward to it.
And when you are sweating, you really want to take a shower.
Upon hearing this, they all agreed, even Kong Xiao and Kong Xuan couldn't help but feel excited and curious.
Upon hearing this, the postmaster naturally arranged for everyone to take a bath. Fortunately, it was summer and the water didn't need to be too hot.
Men basically use cold water directly, and women just need to warm it slightly.
But while bathing, Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask Nan Luoying out of curiosity, "Lady Luoying, what exactly is this 'babikou' that Young Master Zhao is talking about? How come I've never heard of it before?"
This question stumped Nan Luoying. She shook her head and said, "I really don't know, but he always comes up with some weird things."
Xiao Cui also echoed beside him: "Yes, yes, yes, the young master also made sweet potato flour balls before, which were delicious."
After saying this, he smacked his lips in savoring the taste.
Nan Luoying rolled her eyes at her and scolded her with a smile, "You only know how to eat."
Xiao Cui stuck out her tongue and giggled.
Kong Xuan, standing nearby, felt like he had heard a new term. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Xin had mentioned it before, so he couldn't help but ask, "What is sweet potato flour ball? Oh, and Young Master Zhao seemed to have mentioned something about wine brewed from sweet potato residue..."
Nan Luoying thought for a moment and replied, "Sweet potato flour balls are made from sweet potato flour. Sweet potato residue is the residue left after the sweet potato flour is extracted. It seems that it can be used to make wine."
"oh……"
Kong Xuan said "Oh", but still looked confused... He had no idea what you were talking about.
Nan Luoying smiled slightly and said cunningly, "I can't explain it clearly. You'll know when you go to the capital."
Kong Xuan nodded, knowing in his heart that Nan Luoying was helping Zhao Xin to trap them, but he did not dislike Nan Luoying's naive little cunning.
Moreover, from the current contact, although we don't know the specific identity of this Mr. Zhao, judging from his character and broad mind, he is an option worth considering since they have nowhere else to rely on.
After the three of them finished bathing, they returned to the courtyard again, only to see that Zhao Xin and other men were already in the yard.
