I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Ordinary vinegar actually existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and the person who made the vinegar was Du Kang, who is very familiar to everyone.

Yes, it was because he accidentally produced vinegar as a result of brewing wine. Basically, talking to Liu has to produce some by-products in everything he does now.

Having the most primitive vinegar means having vinegar, which has laid a foundation for Liu Tan, otherwise Liu Tan would have to make ordinary vinegar first.

It's just that even if there is vinegar, how to make transparent vinegar is still a technical job.

Knowing that no matter how processed mature vinegar is, it can't make it transparent, so what should he do?

Liu Tan squatted in front of the desk and recalled for a long time, but he couldn't remember how he had been exposed to white vinegar, nor could he remember what the chemical reaction of white vinegar was.

After feeling that he wasted half a day in vain, Liu Tan felt that he seemed to be going astray.

He has studied ancient Chinese and has studied history. After time travel, shouldn't he rely on his professional knowledge to kill the Quartet and leave his name in history?

Why is he squatting here to study how to make white vinegar?This doesn't match his profession!

But he thought about it seriously. If he wanted to kill the Quartet, he had to kill Liu Fuling first, then Liu Shi, and then fool Liu Che. The difficulty of these three things increased exponentially.

Forget it, let’s study how to make white vinegar.

He had a lot of wild thoughts in his mind, and at the end he had a sudden idea. Anyway, vinegar was originally fermented from the lees left over from brewing. As for white vinegar...can you try it with vinegar and white wine?

At this point, Liu Tan has basically started messing around, but strictly speaking, there is indeed some scientific basis.

Finally, he made a jar of boiling water, poured in white wine and vinegar, and after thinking about it, he added a little sugar.

After making it, he calculated according to the timing of aging vinegar, and found that... even if he succeeds, it seems that he will not be able to keep up with making salad for Liu Che.

After all, the brewing of vinegar requires a long process, and it has to wait for it to ferment a little bit. When the temperature is relatively high, the time will be shorter, but the current temperature is only about ten degrees, and the conversion time will be longer. long.

But Liu Che is coming in two days, how can he catch up?

Just when Liu Tan was about to give up this dish, a major event happened in Chang'an City—the Bailiang Terrace caught fire.

The Bailiang Terrace is not a particularly important building, but it was used by Liu Che when he had fun with his courtiers. Well, generally this kind of fun is also very serious. Put wine on it, and then let people compose poems. Only those who write well can go up. drink wine.

If it is put into later generations, we must find out the cause of the fire, such as whether the sky is dry or the fire is used irregularly.

However, in this era, the first thing everyone thinks of is the warning from heaven.

So the Taibu Department, which has always been relatively cold, began to work, and Liu Che naturally had no intention of traveling.

While worrying that Chen Ajiao would take the opportunity to persuade Liu Che not to marry Danyang, Liu Tan began to observe white vinegar every day and study recipes.

Fortunately, as the temperature increased, when Liu Che wanted to build a new palace, white vinegar finally came out of the altar!

It took a total of more than 20 days. During these 20 days, Chen Ajiao did not take the opportunity to prevent Princess Danyang from marrying away as Liu Tan worried about. Instead, she followed Liu Che to sacrifice for a day.

As time went by, no one knew why Bailiang Terrace caught fire, but Liu Che ordered the construction of a new palace in the end, and it must be bigger than the original one, in order to overwhelm Bailiang Terrace. The advice given by the person should also be the custom in South Vietnam.

Liu Tan is not interested in the customs of South Vietnam. The only thing he is interested in is probably the very famous Jianzhang Palace in history, which is finally coming.

Yes, Liu Che gave a name to the palace to be rebuilt.

And because Jianzhang Palace is bigger than Bailiang Terrace, Liu Che even ordered the construction of the Feige Chariot Road across the city for the convenience of traveling.

Liu Tan was thinking about when he would be able to see the whole picture of Jianzhang Palace, and at the same time began to immerse himself in the pleasure of directing people to cook.

In the past, he didn't really like cooking, but he was single, and if he lived alone, it would always save money to cook by himself.

Now he finds that when the cook is someone else, the process is quite happy.

It's just that he was not so happy after the dishes came out of the pan.

Because there is no specific recipe, you have to try it, and in this era, only Liu Tan knows what these dishes should taste like.

Boiled vegetables are fine. This mainly depends on the taste of the soup. As long as it is not too salty, the taste will not be bad. He can also leave the final arrangement to professionals.

Not to mention fruit salad, as long as the salad dressing can be made, the taste will not be too bad.

What makes Liu Tan want to die is the sweet and sour pork ribs, to be exact, the sweet and sour lamb chops.

In order not to let the smell of lamb chops be too obvious, he chose lamb chops, and then he was worried about frying them.

Fried pork ribs are either coated with flour or coated with a mixture of starch and flour. In short, there must be flour, but neither starch nor flour exists these days.

The only thing that exists is probably yellow rice noodles. Liu Tan has never seen this kind of rice in later generations, and he doesn't know whether it has evolved into other rice for a long time or was discarded after the emergence of rice and noodles, and then became extinct.

Anyway, now he can only try to have someone grind the yellow rice into powder, wrap it in lamb chops and fry it.

Not to mention, because yellow rice itself has color, when it is fried until it is almost out of the pan, the appearance is pure golden yellow, which is far yellower than flour, and with the reflection of oil, it looks like a layer of gold powder Same.

As for the taste, hey, what are you asking for so much after time travelling?

In any case, the crispness is there, but it has the unique taste of yellow rice. This taste is not unpalatable, so Liu Tan even if this step has passed.

After the lamb chops came the sweet and sour sauce, which went well before and gave Liu Tan the illusion that he could do the sweet and sour sauce.

But in fact... he can't.

Since he started to let the cook make sweet and sour sauce, the lamb in Zhuangzi has suffered.

I didn't waste so much lamb chops before frying lamb chops, but this time I wasted too much.

It’s okay not to waste it. Every time when making sweet and sour sauce, he thinks it’s okay to taste it empty mouthed, but after wrapping it with lamb chops, there is always an indescribable strange feeling.

Probably because the lamb chops themselves have been marinated, and in the end they need salt and sweet and sour sauce to form a balance, neither too salty nor too sour and sweet.

This balance was not settled until Liu Tan heard that the word sweet and sour changed color.

The finished sweet and sour lamb chops look very appetizing. The lamb chops wrapped in sweet and sour sauce are bright red in color and exude the unique aroma of fried food, but this aroma is overwhelmed by the refreshing sweet and sour sauce. Neutralize, it doesn't look so greasy, eat it...

Forget it, don't eat, he is already tired of eating.

Liu Tan reckoned that after inviting Liu Che to eat this meal, he might not want to hear anything about sweet and sour for a long time.

After finishing the most difficult sweet and sour pork ribs, it meant that Liu Tan was ready to receive Liu Che, and Liu Tan was still debating whether to meet Liu Che.

After all, Liu Che said before that he wanted to see his new invention, but after such a long time, Liu Che might not be in the mood, right?

However, Liu Tan went to Weiyang Palace after all, and when he got there, before he could speak, he saw that Liu Che had changed into his regular clothes.

As he walked out, he looked at Liu Tan with a delicate expression and said, "I thought you wouldn't come to see me if I didn't give the order."

Liu Tan said obediently: "There is a court meeting today, and my ministers dare not disturb the emperor's handling of state affairs."

Liu Che patted his forehead and said, "Pretend to be cute, let's go."

Liu Tan followed him and asked carefully: "Father, can you call the queen mother together? The son hasn't shown the queen mother yet."

After hearing this, Liu Che paused, turned his head and glanced at him, and Liu Tan, who was looking directly at him, wanted to shrink back.

In fact, he also shrank back, and finally Liu Che couldn't stand it anymore and directly carried him back by his collar, shaking him by the way and saying, "Why are you hiding? Can I still eat you? "

He was puzzled, so many sons, no matter whether they were from the palace or from the old clan, none of them were afraid of him, so why did they just want to hide when they saw him?

Liu Tan was taken aback: "No, no, it's because the father's aura is too strong, and the son is ashamed of himself."

Liu Che managed to understand what the aura Liu Tan was talking about, turned his head to Bu Fan with a cold snort, and said, "Go and tell the Queen, and ask her if she wants to go out."

Liu Tan was really relieved. Since Liu Che is still willing to travel with Chen Ajiao, does that mean that he has not made up his mind to abolish the empress?

Of course, he didn't expect Liu Che to have no idea of ​​abolishing the queen, this is unrealistic.

Of course Chen Ajiao agreed, not only did she come, but she also came dressed up.

Liu Tan looked at Liu Che and then at Chen Ajiao, and found that although these two were dressed in ordinary clothes, they could tell at a glance that they were different from ordinary people. Not to mention things that were so mysterious in temperament, they could be seen at a glance by the accessories they wore. come out.

Since Liu Che wanted to pretend to be a casual traveler, he didn't really want to put on a show, so he simply brought a team of guards.

At first glance, Liu Tan wanted Chen Ajiao and Liu Che to share a car, and himself a car.

It's not that he wants to match the two, but he thinks that only Chen Ajiao can match up with Liu Che.

Liu Che is arrogant, Chen Ajiao is a great onmyoji, very good, very good, so don't harm an honest person like him.

However, neither Liu Che nor Chen Ajiao seemed to want to be alone with each other, so they forced Liu Tan to stay.

For a while, this car looked like a normal family of three traveling.

It was also thanks to Liu Che's spacious car, but Liu Tan kept wanting to run outside.

It was really too difficult, Liu Che asked him how the grapes were doing now, Chen Ajiao asked Liu Tan to get two more boxes of hot pot, Chen Ajiao asked him to make some more sugar, Liu Che felt that there was not enough wine in his place.

In fact, what are the two people lacking? For example, Chen Ajiao doesn't like to eat self-heating hot pot at all. Although Liu Che likes to drink, after Liu Tan gave him a car before, he gave him a car every half a month. How could it be missing?

These two just don't know why they are competing with each other!

Once again, Liu Tan realized that Ajiao Chen and Liu Che might really not be able to be a peaceful couple, because the two of them are too similar, and this likeness refers to their temper. Just imagine who likes to be with someone who has the same temper as himself?

When he finally heard Miao Rui say that he was approaching the gate of Zhuangzi, Liu Tan was almost moved to tears. Before today, he didn't feel that the road was so long and hard to endure.

He didn't let the car drive directly into Zhuangzi, but turned his head and said to the couple: "Before entering the village, please get off the car and have a look."

Chen Ajiao glanced through the car window and found that there was nothing, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What the hell is it? Why are you so mysterious?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "You can't see it here, you can only see it when you get off the car."

Compared to Chen Ajiao, Liu Che was much more straightforward, got up and got out of the car.

To be honest, sitting in a car for so long is unbearable no matter how spacious and comfortable Liu Che's car is.

After getting out of the car, Liu Che saw the ground at Zhuangzi's entrance and exit was covered with white flowers at first sight, and asked involuntarily, "What's going on in front?"

The author has something to say: Liu Tan: Experience tells us, don’t fiddle with recipes if you’re okay!
