After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Grandpa Qin and the others were overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Secretary Guan!"

"There is no need to thank you. If this can be done, all the people of Wei will benefit." Secretary Guan took them to a side room and said, "You guys wait here first."

After saying this, he asked Chen Xiaoqi to take dried kudzu powder and kudzu powder to eat, and go to the Grand Duke's house to see the county magistrate.

Magistrate Kang was about to go out when he saw him coming in person and asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with Secretary Guan?"

Guan Annong is very strict about rules. He usually follows the rules and reports to all levels, but in the past half month, he has come here for the second time, which is really strange.

The official Guan Shuli did not give in and told the story about the kudzu powder. He took out the dried kudzu powder and the kudzu powder and presented it to County Magistrate Kang: "Your Excellency, please take a look. Beizhi and Chen Xiaoqi have already tasted this kudzu powder and it is not poisonous." "

County Magistrate Kang was shocked and looked at Master Han.

Master Han immediately took the food and ate a piece of arrowroot cake: "It's delicious. It tastes softer than the cake made with white flour. It's fragrant and has a hint of sweetness."

While he was trying the food, a servant in the room bowed and left.

Not long after, two people came into the main room, one was a handyman from the big kitchen and the other was the master ladle.

"Try it, can you tell what this is made of?" Master Han has never eaten Ge Chai, so he doesn't know if this pancake is made of Ge Chai?

"Yes." The handyman and the chef each took a piece of arrowroot cake to eat.

The handyman looked at the chef and said, "Master Lin, this pancake has a hint of kudzu flavor."

The flavor of arrowroot itself is very weak and not easy to taste.

Master Lin asked: "Master Han, do you have the dry powder to make this kind of pancake?"

Master Han pointed to the cloth bag on the table: "This is the bag."

Master Lin hurriedly took the handyman to taste the dried kudzu powder, and he was sure: "It tastes like kudzu... But how can there be the smell of kudzu in this white flour? But the ground dried kudzu peel is added to it?"

"But who has nothing to do, peel off the kudzu peel, dry it, and mix it with white flour? Isn't this a waste of good quality!" The handyman was very angry. When he was a child, his family was poor, he ate pig food, kudzu, and was even collapsed. He has two teeth, so he cherishes food very much and hates it being wasted by others.

Only then did County Magistrate Kang speak again: "It seems that what's in this bag is mostly Ge Chai white noodles."

"What? Ge Chai white noodles?"

Where can Ge Chai make white noodles?

The handyman thought the magistrate was crazy, but he did not dare to say anything for fear of losing his job to support his family.

"Sir, Doctor Cao, Doctor Li, and Doctor Kang are here." The boy who had slipped away earlier brought in three doctors.

Master Han looked at Guan Annong and said with a smile: "After all, it is an entrance thing. You need to see if it will hinder people."

Guan Anong said: "I was negligent, or Master Han did everything carefully."

Master Han asked three doctors to check the dried arrowroot powder and arrowroot starch delicacies. After working for half an hour, the doctors said: "Sir, we have not found any toxins."

County Magistrate Kang asked again: "This Ge Chai is a medicinal material. If it is used as food for many years, will it be harmful to people?"

Dr. Cao said: "As long as you are not sick, you don't have to worry about eating it all year round. Eating more in summer can relieve heat and eliminate dampness and phlegm, making people less likely to get fever. However, patients with wind-cold cough need to avoid eating it."

Dr. Li also said the same thing, and added: "Farmers often feed pigs with kudzu firewood. After feeding them for so many years, I have never heard of any pigs dying from eating kudzu firewood."

Magistrate Kang looked at Dr. Kang.

Doctor Kang nodded to him: "What the two doctors said is true."

This is a doctor raised by the Kang family and will not harm County Magistrate Kang.

However, in order to be more convincing when reporting to the government and the chief envoy, Kang County Magistrate still ordered Mr. Han: "Find a hundred people to come and try to eat arrowroot powder on the spot."

"Yes." Master Han hurriedly went to do it.

For a moment, the entire county government was in a state of shock. The officials asked Team Leader Zhou one after another: "Boss, what big case happened? Why did everyone in the county government go to the grand office?"

He also congratulated Team Leader Zhou: "When the case is settled, Team Leader will probably be promoted. Brothers, I would like to congratulate Team Leader first."

Team leader Zhou said: "Stop flattering me. This is unusual today. Please tighten your skin. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being unkind!"

The next group of government servants said hurriedly: "Yes, brothers, you must handle your errands carefully!"

……

Grandpa Qin and the others sat in the wing for a long time. Seeing the government officials walking in a hurry, Xu Sanjun was a little scared: "What happened? Could it be..."

Aunt Xu interrupted him: "It's definitely none of our business. That pig eats kudzu firewood every day and has never had any trouble."

But they have been sitting here for half an hour, and the official has not come back yet, so they are somewhat worried.

However, soon, Secretary Guan and Master Han came over with a group of government servants.

"Don't be afraid, it's not a bad thing." Secretary Guan said some reassuring words before saying, "The county magistrate asked us to take you to make kudzu powder. We need to see the process of making kudzu powder from kudzu wood."

Is this half done?

Grandpa Qin was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Please ask the official to lead the way."

Guan Shuli took them to the large kitchen of the county government: "Fresh kudzu firewood, manpower, and utensils are all prepared for you. Let's do it now."

"Hey." Grandpa Qin responded, and Jiang Dalang and a group of government servants made kudzu powder.

"Wash, peel, and cut into small pieces."

The government officials immediately started to work, aggressively, with many hands and strong strength, and they chopped a hundred kilograms of Ge Chai in less than a quarter of an hour.

Grandpa Qin: "Use a stone mortar to pound the pieces of kudzu firewood into dregs."

Bang bang bang, the yamen servants were very strong, and there were many stone mortars in the yamen, so they divided into ten teams to pound the rice, and they finished it quickly.

Grandpa Qin: "That's all right. Put the crumbs of the kudzu wood into the jar and scrub. Then the starch in the kudzu wood will be washed into the water. Let it settle for another night. When the water becomes clear, the gouache will be completely separated. This jar You can see a layer of white arrowroot powder at the bottom.”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Annong and Master Han were both shocked, and suddenly realized: "That's it, that's it!"

Dawei's powder is all sun-dried or roasted and then ground into powder using a stone mill. Rhizome and bark medicines are also dried and ground into powder. Who would have thought that there is such a method of making powder by washing it?

"We really had an eye-opener today." Master Han said with a smile.

After a while, Grandpa Qin said: "It's time to filter. Just water, not dregs... The kudzu dregs can be washed again, and a lot of pink water will come out."

Master Han hurriedly asked the government officials to do it.

Then he asked Grandpa Qin: "Uncle Qin, how long does it take for the water to settle before you can see the powder? I mean you can see the powder. After all, one night is too long."

The county magistrate is anxious to see the results.

Grandpa Qin said: "You can see a thin layer of powder at the bottom of the tank within an hour."

"Okay." Mr. Han was happy but nervous. After an hour of boiling, he immediately ordered the yamen servant: "Poop the pink water into another vat. Be gentle and don't disturb the powder at the bottom of the vat!"

"Yes." The officials were careful and managed to scoop out a jar of pink water to the bottom.

Master Han kept looking around the big vat. When he saw a thin layer of powder at the bottom of the vat, he was overjoyed: "There is powder, there really is powder! Don't move, I'll go ask the county magistrate."

I rushed to the grand palace immediately.

After a while, Magistrate Kang came to the big kitchen in person.

After seeing the powder at the bottom of the tank, I could no longer suppress my excitement. I said hello three times and said, "God bless Wei!"

Bless him!

He was originally a descendant of the Kang family. He studied hard for many years and finally passed the exam, but was sent to this bitter and cold place by his master's family.

This year is already the sixth year. If I can't make any great achievements again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to be a Beijing official in this life.

But with the new grain of arrowroot, he would not only be promoted, but even if the Wei Dynasty changed emperors, his official career would be prosperous... Just because being able to produce new grains when he was in power was one of the achievements that every emperor valued.
