Three Kingdoms King of the North

Han Zhan thought to himself, although many sources say that cotton was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, but as early as the Han, Wei, Jin, and Sui and Tang Dynasties, many historical books can see records about cotton, but it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that there was cotton. Textiles appeared.The only reason for the formation of the view that cotton was introduced in the Ming Dynasty is entirely because cotton textiles began to be popularized in the Ming Dynasty.Prior to this, rich people wore silk or animal leather for the winter, while poor people could only wear rough linen clothes to keep out the cold.

Zhao Yun didn't notice that Han Zhan was thinking, so he said to him, "Second brother, a few days ago, I heard from the Ju supervisor that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Tadun of Wuhuan seemed to be in collusion. Afterwards, we have to take precautions when we move south, don't we?"

"Ta Dun?" After repeating the name, Han Zhan asked thoughtfully, "What is the relationship between this person and Qiu Liju?"

"Two months ago, Qiu Liju Shanyu passed away. His son Louban was young, and Zitadun was a brave and wise man. Therefore, he was appointed as Shanyu. He was in charge of the Wuhuan tribe in Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu. Everyone obeyed his orders."

For Han Zhan, the biggest threat was the Xiongnu, not Wuhuan, so after Zhao Yun finished speaking, he asked, "Has there been any changes in the Xiongnu recently?"

"No." Zhao Yun shook his head and replied, "Since the second brother moved all the people in Guanzhong to Jizhou, even if the Xiongnu wanted to go south to plunder, they have no people or property for them to loot."

While the two were talking, Rob hurried in from the outside and reported to Han Zhan, "My lord, Dr. Zhang has arrived."

"Hurry up please!"

Zhao Yun asked Han Zhan a little puzzled: "Second brother, why did you call Dr. Zhang here? Could it be that you are sick?"

"Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient," Han Zhan said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "You will know when Doctor Zhang comes later."

After a while, Zhang Zhongjing walked into the house from the outside and saluted Han Zhan and Zhao Yun: "Zhang Ji has seen the lord and General Zhao!"

"Master Zhang," Han Zhan asked with a smile after Zhang Zhongjing finished saluting, "Do you know the purpose of calling you here?"

"Zhang Ji doesn't know."

"Ben Hou was on the street recently and saw many people's ears were frostbitten due to the cold weather. I don't know what can Dr. Zhang do to treat these people?"

"Responding to my lord," Zhang Zhongjing replied, "Zhang Ji also saw many people with frostbitten ears recently, so he planned to treat them by using food to keep warm and treat diseases."

"To keep warm with food, to cure disease with food?" Zhao Yun repeated Zhang Zhongjing's words, and asked curiously: "Doctor Zhang, I don't know what to do?"

"General Zhao, Zhang Ji has recently researched a decoction for dispelling cold, which can treat frostbitten ears for common people."

"What dispelling cold soup?" Han Zhan asked knowingly.

"It is to boil mutton and some cold-dispelling medicinal materials in a pot. The mutton and medicinal materials are taken out and chopped, and wrapped with dough into ear-like ears. Just jiaoer, a large bowl of broth, let them eat, after eating, the symptoms of frostbite ears will be relieved, and it will be cured in time."

"It's a good way to complement the shape with the shape." Han Zhan pretended to be surprised, and said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Master Zhang, I will leave this matter to you, and let Xun Changshi provide mutton and drive away the cold." Medicinal materials and flour, and then let General Zhao send troops to maintain order."

Chapter 529 Han Zhan's Design Drawings

An hour later, Zhao Yun led people to build more than a dozen greenhouses in the open space in the north of the city.A large pot was set up in the shed, and after adding water, the newly slaughtered mutton and medicinal materials were thrown into the pot and boiled.After cooking for less than two sticks of incense, the aroma of the meat in the pot is overflowing, and you can smell it from a long distance.

As early as when the greenhouse was being built, many people nearby stopped to watch, but seeing that there were groups of soldiers here, they did not dare to ask.At this moment, smelling the smell of meat coming out of the pot, some hungry people couldn't help but stepped forward and asked the sergeant who maintained order: "Master, what is cooked in this pot, and why is it so fragrant?"

"Mutton." The sergeant was not as vicious as the people imagined, but said kindly: "This is the mutton soup that the Marquis of Anyang saw the weather was cold and made for the people to keep out the cold. If you want to drink, hurry up and queue up." "

Given that Han Zhan had given out porridge many times before, the people did not suspect that the other party would deceive them after hearing what the sergeant said, so they immediately ran to the place designated by the sergeant to line up.In just half a stick of incense, there are long queues in front of more than a dozen greenhouses.

In the past, Han Zhan used to prepare large coarse porcelain bowls for the people who received the porridge.After use, most of the people will send the bowl back.At this time, the steward in charge of distributing porridge will temporarily recruit some people to help wash the dishes.Of course, doing these things is not free, at least each person can get a few pieces of bread.

It is because of past experience that some people who are busy with their thoughts asked the sergeant at the side when they first started queuing: "Mr. Jun, can I let the little one help wash the dishes after eating later? Don't worry, don't worry. If you don’t wash it clean, you definitely don’t want a piece of bread.”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when the people nearby heard, what, you can get noodles by washing the dishes, they all became excited and said: "Mr. Jun, the young one is a hotel clerk, and washing dishes is a small strong point. You must leave this matter to the villain."

"Master Jun, the younger one is a buddy of Shaopinxuan, and he has to wash the dishes in the store every day. You leave this matter to the younger one, and the younger one will definitely do it properly for you."

Han Zhan, who was patrolling the shed with Zhao Yun and Zhang Zhongjing, heard the noise coming from a distance, thought that the people were arguing over food, and hurriedly brought someone over to check.When he found out that it was just a group of people vying to help wash the dishes in order to earn a few noodles, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

But he overheard a commoner saying that he was a buddy of Shaopinxuan, and he couldn't help but feel moved.He knew that Shaopinxuan was a place to sell jars and bowls, and these things were all fired, hence the name Shaopinxuan.

The people who were arguing saw a group of high-ranking officials in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by sergeants, and they knew that a big man was coming, so they kept their mouths shut obediently, so as not to annoy the other party and drive them away from the team.

Han Zhan came to the front of the team, looked at the group of yellow and thin people in front of him, and asked, "Who said he was the buddy of Shaopinxuan just now?"

After asking, there was silence in the team, and no one dared to say anything, because they didn't know why the young man asked such a question.But those who knew the guy at Shaopinxuan still unconsciously looked at the guy.

Seeing that many people's eyes were focused on a young man with a short mouth and monkey cheeks, Han Zhan pointed at him with his hand and said, "Are you a buddy of Shaopinxuan?"

Seeing Han Zhan calling his name, the clerk walked out of the crowd hesitantly, knelt down in front of Han Zhan, kowtowed and said, "Young master, I have never done anything bad, do you admit your mistake?" people."

"Get up, the Marquis asked you to come out. I have something to ask you." After Han Zhan greeted his staff, he turned to Zhao Yun and Zhang Zhongjing and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and distribute the sheep's head meat and jiaoer ears to the people." .”

After ordering the two of them, Han Zhan shook his head at the guy who just got up from the ground: "Come with Benhou to the shed, Benhou has something to ask you."

Seeing the people queuing up, the staff each received a large coarse porcelain bowl and came to the pot. The sergeant in charge poured a spoonful of hot mutton soup into the bowl, and two other strangely shaped pasta.The buddy couldn't help drooling secretly, he worried that after he left with Han Zhan, he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food.

Seeing the man standing still, staring intently at the people who were receiving the mutton soup and jiaoer, Han Zhan knew he was greedy, so he smiled and said to him, "Let's go, I'll get someone to give it to you later." Double."

Hearing that Han Zhan said that someone would give him a double share later, the guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly agreed, and immediately followed Han Zhan to the shed.

After Han Zhan found a seat in the shed and sat down, he looked at the guy standing in front of him and asked, "Where do you usually buy your Shaopinxuan?"

"Master," the clerk replied respectfully, "The earthen pots, jars, porcelain and large bowls sold in the store are all fired in the owner's own fire kiln."

"How long does it take to burn a kiln and earthen jar?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, not only the clerk was stunned, but also Rob, who was standing by as a guard, was also stunned. He thought to himself that the majestic Hou's mansion still lacks earthen pots and the like, and he wants to go to the folks Buy?

The man asked in a daze, "I don't know what kind of crock pots you want to make, and how many are there?"

It is definitely not easy to find a pen and paper here. Ding Rong happened to see a stick of charcoal on the ground, so he bent down to pick it up. After some repairs, he lay down on the table and drew the shape of the object in his mind.When Han Zhan was drawing the picture, Rob couldn't help leaning over to check it. He saw that the things Han Zhan drew on the paper were somewhat similar to the jars he usually saw, but they were quite different.

After drawing the blueprints, Han Zhan called his assistant to him, pointed to the sketches he had just drawn, and said to him, "Can your master make me a batch of jars like this?"

The man looked at it and couldn't help frowning slightly. He pointed to the drawing and asked, "Master, there are some differences between the jars sold at my house and the ones you drew. There is no such raised part on the mouth of the jar."

"You observe very carefully." Han Zhan couldn't help smiling and nodding when he saw that the other party found that what he drew was different from the jars he usually saw on the market, and said, "This Hou wants this special one. Jars, can you burn them in your shop? If you can, try burning a hundred of them first."

"My lord," the man said with some embarrassment, "The shape of this jar of yours is too special. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to explain it clearly to my master, and I'm afraid I'll miss my lord's important business."

Han Zhan quickly picked up the design drawing he had just drawn, and stuffed it into the hands of the clerk: "Then you take this drawing back to the boss to see, if he can burn it, let him burn a hundred, Ben Hou Send someone over to pick it up in a few days."

Seeing that the clerk took over the blueprint, still looking out of his wits, Han Zhan told Rob: "Rob, take two hundred dollars and give it to the clerk. It's my deposit."

After the guy received the money, he immediately changed his face. He nodded and bowed quickly and said to Han Zhan, "Don't worry, my son. When I come back to the shop, I will show the blueprint to the owner immediately and ask him to burn it for you as soon as possible." One hundred jars."

Han Zhan nodded with a smile, called another sergeant, and said to him, "Prepare this guy some mutton soup for two." After speaking, he got up and left the shed.

Chapter 530 Kimchi

The medicated soup made by Zhang Zhongjing is not a panacea. Drinking it once can cure frostbite, so this kind deed lasted for ten days.

Many mutton soup pot owners in the city saw that people like to eat the newly launched "Jiao Er", so they went to the greenhouse area to learn how to make it secretly, and then rolled it out in their own stores.All of a sudden, a sign was hung outside the doors of many mutton soup pots, which said, "There are jiaoer for sale inside."

Wealthy people in the city will certainly not be like those poor people who put down their dignity and go to the shed area to get free jiaoer. Now that the mutton soup pot near their residence has also introduced this novel pasta, they can't help but Live and run over to try something new.

After Han Zhan learned that all the mutton soup restaurants in Yedu City now had jiaoer, which is the dumplings familiar to later generations, he felt that his goal had basically been achieved, so he sent someone to notify Zhang Zhongjing to stop distributing herbal soup and jiaoer. .
