Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 67 What can I do, eat No.1

"what are you doing?"

Wang Shuyi was very curious.

"Brush your teeth." Chang Yu muttered.

"What do you use to brush your teeth?"

She couldn't understand the things Chang Yu used, so she hung around asking around curiously.

Hearing her curious question, Chang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Did you eat breakfast without brushing your teeth in the morning?!"

She didn't answer, but her pretty face blushed, a little embarrassed.

really!

She looks like a pretty delicate girl, but she didn't expect to eat without even brushing her teeth!
In fact, it's not that Wang Shuyi doesn't have this habit, but who knows how to brush her teeth on this deserted island!

Wang Ben and Emperor Shi Huang brushed their teeth at will, not every day.

In their day and age, there weren't as many hormones as modern foods, so there wasn't much bad breath.

Of course, Chang Yu can also not brush his teeth, but it is difficult to change the habit, which is also the beginning of a good day.

Seeing Chang Yu washing his teeth continuously, Wang Shuyi also wanted to mess around. After all, she is a girl who is more delicate.

"You want to brush your teeth too?"

I ate all my breakfast, so what a fart!
However, seeing her curious look, Chang Yu prepared one for her.

Mix fine salt and charcoal ash, hold it in your mouth and rub against the edge of your teeth repeatedly.

"What are these two pieces?"

Two blades of grass floating on the cup?

"Mint."

Peppermint can freshen your mouth and energize you, among other uses.

There are quite a few on the island, and they were cultivated by Chang Yu.

Wang Shuyi didn't understand what mint was, she tilted her head and stared at it, but she didn't know what to look at.

isn't it?
Don't even know mint?
Ugh!
A good girl, how can I say she is stupid, she is stupid!
"After brushing your teeth, spit out the charcoal ash with your saliva, and put those two pieces of mint in your mouth."

Chang Yu was rinsing his mouth, and then put the mint in his mouth, chewing it once, before and after, there was a faint coolness.

The coolness of the bite marks stimulated by mint is like eating Xuanmai and you can't stop eating it!
"Hyun Mai?"

Wang Shuyi didn't understand again.

Never heard of it, nor recorded in the book.

Could it be something from the fairy world?

Chang Yu was choked, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Forget it, too lazy to explain!
When there is no one on the deserted island, one person is in a panic!
Now that there are too many people, it is annoying to panic!
There is no normal person, either a fool or a lunatic!
Ignore Wang Shuyi, let her toss the excitement brought by mint there.

Emperor Shihuang and the others simply rinsed their mouths and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.

After waking up in the morning, Chang Yu made breakfast and didn't eat it.

Early in the morning, I didn’t dare to order work, and it didn’t taste good after eating.

"How's the ship going?"

As soon as he sat down, Li Si asked.

"It is estimated that there will be four people. Now that I add one more person, I have to overthrow a lot and start over."

Chang Yu sat down, grabbed the buns and gnawed them. It was served with shredded yogurt and potatoes, which was more refreshing and appetizing.

After Wang Shuyi swallowed the peppermint, she felt that her entire mouth was breathed out, and she walked back with some bliss.

Although there was a stimulating coolness in his mouth, it was not uncomfortable but rather comfortable, and he was a little surprised that Chang Yu brushed his teeth so gaudy.

"Didn't you eat it?"

As soon as Wang Shuyi sat down, she grabbed a steamed bun.

"Can't eat after eating?"

She blushed pretty, and wanted to hit Chang Yu a little bit.

Go go go!
Chang Yu rolled his eyes.

I really can’t do whatever I want, No. 1 meal!

Handing over the hammer early in the morning, I did nothing and ended up having two breakfasts!

Fortunately, I made a lot of cornbread, otherwise I would have been afraid that there wouldn’t be enough for them to eat.

"By the way, speaking of which, what is this?"

The First Emperor grabbed the wowotou and asked Chang Yu in surprise.

They are no strangers to the novel things made by Chang Yu, but this is the first time they have made it.

"Wowotou!"

As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, Wang Shuyi picked it up beside him.

"Four for one yuan, hehe!"

Chang Yu was a little surprised, this girl is not bad, she can play tricks so soon!

"Wowotou? What is that?"

isn't it? !

Wowotou is similar to steamed buns. You don’t even know steamed buns?

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.

The raw material of Wowotou is wheat, and a lot of it is grown on the island, but the output is too low to meet the consumption of food.

Why?

Wheat is pickier than others, and basically cannot be grown in saline-alkali soil.

Chang Yu had to run to the mountains to cultivate the land, and since he didn't stay there after planting, there would be many birds eating the wheat.

This season's harvest is less than last season's, less than a hundred catties.

Wheat is not considered a staple food, and it does not taste very good when steamed and cooked.

Therefore, I basically don’t move at all. When I want to eat pasta, I grind it into wheat flour.

In the impression of the first emperor and the others, there was indeed no such thing as steamed buns in Daqin.

Basically, they are thick noodles, which are directly used to make flatbread. The taste is not very good but it can fill the stomach.

This kind of flatbread is mainly easier to carry. When marching and fighting, soldiers will tie the flatbread in front of and behind them.

Not only the rations for the soldiers, but also the front and rear pancakes can provide a certain amount of defense when encountering a surprise battle.

Over time, among the soldiers, it became a big cake: pot helmet.

Why is it called a pot helmet?Instead of using a more pleasant name?

Because the flatbread is baked in a pan, which is more important than ordinary flatbread, and even harder than some armors.

It really is to let the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty eat a bite when they are hungry while fighting!

Of course, it is not made for the taste, it is made to fill the stomachs of soldiers.

If it is not paired with water, the hard texture will be difficult to swallow.

In Daqin, the staple food is millet, and the output of wheat is not high. Even high-ranking officials and dignitaries cannot afford to eat a meal.

In addition, there is no technique, it is very difficult to grind into flour, and it is also rough noodles similar to pot helmets.

Compared with the output and value of wheat, it simply cannot withstand such consumption, so pasta has not become a staple food.

As for the appearance of steamed buns.

It should have been done by Mr. Zhuge during the Three Kingdoms period.

It is normal for the First Emperor and the others not to know about this.

Chang Yu has been on the island for a long time. How boring would it be if he didn't do something to pass the time?

Making flour is a time-consuming task.

However, for him, the difficulty is relatively large, and he has to lose a lot of time.

It took three or four days, and it was estimated to be about ten catties.

Put it away as a storage, and when you want to eat pasta, it is also convenient to make noodles directly.

Letting the flour ferment gave Chang Yu a headache for a long time.

Traditional fermentation in the past is not as convenient as modern fresh yeast
The fermentation method used can only be the traditional fermentation method, whether it is difficult to say is simple or not simple.

The fermented flour is a little yellowish all over, which means that the impurities are not removed cleanly.

There is no way, there are few tools, and many impurities cannot be screened out, but it is good to be able to mix the noodles and make pasta.
