I do research in ancient times

Mo Zong had a very restless night.

According to Ning Juzi's arrangement, Aunt Niu and her kitchen team cooked the first dinner on the stove in the new dining room. She wanted to make some troublesome dishes to prolong the cooking time, but Ning Fei stopped them in time.

"No need to do anything special."

The handsome boy shook his head.

"Now it's time to test the performance of the earthen kang. You can burn it as you want, so that the old fish can get the most real data. The results this time are likely to be used as the basis for the construction standard of the earthen kang. The food room cannot be used every day. Do you want to make meatballs?"

"That's true."

Aunt Niu rubbed her hands.

"Juzi, do you eat meatballs? I left a piece of fat for you to fry meatballs. It's delicious!"

Ning Fei: ...

Now Ning Fei gets a headache when he hears "oil".

Ever since he went to the kitchen to rob a piece of suet last time, Aunt Niu felt very distressed, and said bluntly that it was originally intended to be reserved for him to replenish his body.

I kept saying this for a long time, until Brother Mu Ye's younger brother came to the door.In order to silence Aunt Niu, Ning Fei gave her a bigger piece of suet and told her not to talk anymore after paying off the debt.

However, I don't know how the aunt understood it. Anyway, the next day, he received a big bowl of croquettes.

Aunt Niu personally delivered it to the door, saying that it was fried with suet mixed with herbs, a great tonic handed down from her hometown, which is best for people with weak constitution.

Unable to refuse the good intentions, Ning Fei had to close his eyes and gnaw one.

Once in the mouth, the mouthful of oil flowers burst, mixed with a strange medicinal smell, sticky and greasy, chewing and creaking, and the taste is extremely curious.

"Is it tasty?"

Aunt Niu on the side also asked him expectantly.

"Delicious!"

Ning Sawzi gritted his teeth.

"It's good to eat."

Aunt Niu's face turned into a flower with a smile.

"It's just that good suet is rare, otherwise Aunt Niu will make it for you every day, and I promise to raise you stronger than Zhang Erzhu!"

"Juzi, you are busy, I'm going back to the dining room now, remember to eat the meatballs while they are hot, otherwise the taste will change when they are cold."

With tears in his eyes, Ning Zhizi didn't dare to open his mouth, and waved goodbye to the person in charge of the restaurant.

He was afraid that when he spoke, white and greasy foam would come out of his mouth. After all, it was Aunt Niu's wish and he had to give face.

Hehehe, but Ning Zazi couldn't suffer this crime in vain.Sooner or later, he will let Aunt Niu's dark cuisine sweep Mo Zong, and everyone will eat suet balls!

He felt that this day was not too far away, as long as the pigs promised by brother Mu Ye were in place, Mo Zong would be able to have a lot more food.It's just that this winter, the feed for raising pigs is also an expense, so we still have to find some way to store food.

I can't count on other things for the time being, but I can still think about the big gift bag of washing.

Use the first bucket of pigs in exchange for double the working capital, and then exchange it for supplies.Oil crops such as soybeans already existed in this era. Without the support of systematic production, it is impossible for ordinary seeds to grow on poor land like Niubei Mountain, but he can change a batch of finished products first, and the bean cakes left over from oil extraction can be mixed People who feed pigs with forage, and those who have more fat in their stomachs will reduce their consumption of carbohydrates. As long as this cycle can be established, he is sure to let the food eat fried meatballs every day.

The task given to him by the system is to let Mozong live through the winter, but now Ning Fei is no longer satisfied with letting all Mozong members survive the winter safely. He sincerely hopes that everyone can eat better, have a stronger body, and live more happily. Go ahead.

From the perspective of the system, Mo Zong's existence may be just a tool to promote the technological progress of the times, but what Ning Fei sees is the vibrant crowd who get along with him day and night.They are not robots who only know how to do things, they also have needs and expectations.It's just that the yearning for knowledge surpasses all other desires, and temporarily makes them forget about hunger and cold, and can face death directly.

But why can a kang make everyone so happy?

Because the heated kang really changed their lives, allowing them to live more comfortably.

Yue Wanfeng exchanged a lot of inventions from the system back then, most of them were amazing and far-reaching, and they were not worth mentioning compared to those that were more than a kang.

But did those things really change the fate of Mozong disciples?not at all.What changed fate was Mo Zong's opening up of knowledge to all disciples, which was also Yue Wanfeng's only scoring point. Besides, the wicked sage and Mo Zong's disciples were like two worlds. Struggling to survive.

He doesn't want to be Yue Wanfeng, he is Ning Fei, he wants to seek some benefits for these "colleagues", let everyone truly experience the power of knowledge and technology to change life, and want everyone to live a better life.

That night, many people in Mozongwu Castle were sleepless.

Naturally, the Yushan team does not sleep. They have to track the heat preservation of the kang throughout the process, and organize it as a reference for future kangs.

The Pankang team was divided into several groups, each responsible for temperature tracking of each room.Without a thermometer, they used hand feeling to record. Although the accuracy was much lower, it was enough to deal with the heated kang.

Several of the women who worked in the canteen stayed behind. They were all older aunts, and they didn't have so many defenses between men and women. They gathered in one room to chat with Aunt Niu.

There is still a temperature difference between the head of the kang and the end of the kang. In order to prevent uneven heating, the civil engineering team sandwiched the room between the stoves when designing, but this way, it is not as convenient for people in the dining room to cook as before.

"It's nothing."

Aunt Niu waved her hand.

"Isn't it just to separate several stoves, the big guy will do everything in the big room in the middle first, and cook separately when the fire is needed, and we will also divide into groups in the future, so that we can do our own work without delay!"

The injection of chicken blood from Ning Sawzi's injection is still on it, and Aunt Niu speaks very confidently now.She has already thought about it, and in the future, she will make the dining room a place that no one else can leave!Even if everyone can go home and cook for themselves in the future, they still have to come to the dining room from time to time to exchange some food and go back to the tooth festival. The dining room must firmly grasp the stomachs of Mozong disciples!

Last time she gave Jizi white meatballs, and Jizi liked it very much. The next day, she secretly stuffed a piece of birch bark for her, saying that there was something good for her to help research.

Aunt Niu was illiterate, so she couldn't see what was written on it after reading it for a long time.She was too embarrassed to ask Juzi, so she went to Mu Donglai and begged Lao Mu to help her find out what Juzi wanted her to do.

"This is……"

Mu Donglai narrowed his eyes.

"It's like a kind of sauce..."

Sauce?

Aunt Niu was a little disappointed.

She can do it!She makes all the sauce in Wubao, does Jizi not like the taste of her sauce?

"Wait, it seems not."

Mu Donglai's face almost touched the birch bark.

"No sauce, but the oil inside..."

Aunt Niu was so angry that she slapped Mu Donglai across the face.

"You old man, you still speak out of breath!"

"You read it to me quickly, and I will listen to what is written on it myself?"

So Mu Donglai honestly read it to Aunt Niu.

Ning Juzi wrote about something called "soy sauce".

"Use three buckets of soybeans, boil them in water, take 24 catties of noodles, and mix them into yellow rice. For every ten catties, add eight catties of salt and forty catties of well water, and mix them in the sun to make oil."

This is the "soybean oil method" recorded by Li Shizhen in "Compendium of Materia Medica".The "soybean oil" here does not refer to soybean vegetable oil, but soy sauce made from soybeans.

Ning Fei doesn't cook, so naturally he doesn't know how to make soy sauce.However, the era of information explosion is unbearable. Some seasoning manufacturers claim to be brewed by ancient methods every day, and even make the production process into advertisements that are broadcast on TV. It is difficult to remember.

sun sun sun sun...

In the ancient method of brewing soy sauce, the soy sauce tank needs to be stored in the open air, and it will be exposed to the sun and night for about half a year. After a tank of soy sauce is fermented, the soy sauce is extracted, which is the first soy sauce. Continue to add salt and then ferment, which is the second and third extractions.The taste of the first draw is the best, followed by the second draw, and the third draw is the weakest.But some people like light soy sauce, saying that low-salt is healthy.

The latitude of Niubei Mountain is relatively higher, but the sunshine in spring and summer can still be guaranteed. At worst, a little longer in the sun can always make delicious soy sauce.

Ning Fei wasn't really greedy, but he felt that Aunt Niu had misunderstood the taste of food.The sauce in Shijian always smells salty and smelly. I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been fermented well. It’s always a light smell when used to pickle pickles.

People who work need salt to grow their strength, but it doesn't mean that just adding oil and salt is delicious!The weather outside the Great Wall is cold. If everyone is used to a high-salt and high-fat diet, he will find a way to take aspirin to prevent cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis!

"Scary! This is much more troublesome than making sauce!"

Aunt Niu listened to it three times in succession, secretly clicking her tongue.Xin said that Jizi used to be so particular about making some sauce that it would take so long to dry it, and also need to extract a little bit of oil from it.

She is used to making sauce, so how much sauce does it take to make a little oil, but Jingui!

However, the oil that Jizi said is similar to the process of making sauce, except that more artificial materials are required.Since it is Juzi who wants to eat, there is nothing to be reluctant about.

"Alright then, I'll go prepare the materials."

Aunt Niu snatched the birch bark from Mu Donglai.

"It just so happens that the kang is about to be built, and I'll leave a room for the sauce jars. I'll move outside when the spring warms up, so that it can be exposed to the sun."

Seeing that Mu Donglai was useless, Aunt Niu started waving at him.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go, and bring back those young people from the Nanwu. It's already midnight and you still don't want to leave. How long are you going to hang around with us?!"

Aunt Niu said that there are quite a few "staying on" people. Many people simply went to the kang at night, and refused to go home no matter who called them.

Now Niubei Mountain is approaching the end of autumn, and the temperature in the early morning has already dropped below freezing point. Taking a nap on the warm Kang is much more comfortable than sleeping in the cold at home.

"Can we sleep in a house like this in the future?"

Wang Dazhuang from the carpentry class whispered to his younger brother Hasle.

"Isn't this house great? Such a big kang is still hot in the middle of the night, so you don't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night when you fall asleep!"

Wang Dazhuang looked around the room and smacked his mouth.

"It's just a little empty. I don't have much to do. I'll just make some small cabinets and tables in the future."

Hasler glanced at his brother, feeling that he was thinking a little too much.

Both of them are single, and they go to the dining room to eat without using a table, and they don't have a few changes of clothes in total, and it's useless to ask for a cabinet.

"Then don't plan for the future!"

Wang Dazhuang rolled his eyes at his junior brother.

"In case I marry a daughter-in-law, why don't I prepare something for her? Besides, the house is so clean, do you have the nerve to throw all the junk on the kang?!"

This is true.

Hassler nodded.

He has no daughter-in-law, but he has an old mother.

In the past, Mo Zong was poor, and his life in Wupu was not better than in Ding'an City, but now the Zongmen is going to build a house, and if there is no accident, he can also have a small room, maybe he can persuade his mother to come here!

It's nothing else, his mother is a helper in Ding'an City, and she sleeps on a broken plank bed, which is not as comfortable as this kang.

His mother has worked so hard for so long, it's time to enjoy her son's blessing!
