It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Xie Shi put a tray on the desk in front of the two of them. There was a wooden box on the tray, and there was something hidden in it. The closer you got, the more you could smell a faint fragrance of mint grass.

Han Ji didn't open it without authorization, but asked: "Is this what Ah Shi said, the little handiwork you made during these days?"

Xie Shi nodded with a smile. As an agricultural student, he was so proud of being able to produce these things that he almost had to show off.Xie Shi opened the wooden box and showed him the products of these small handicrafts one by one.

Xie Shi was the first to unscrew a ceramic jar. As soon as the lid was unscrewed, the scent of mint grass smelled just now became clearer, as if someone took a bunch of mint grass under your nose, "This is a mint-flavored toothpaste for brushing teeth. Yes, it cleans much better than ordinary tooth powder.”

In ancient times, not everyone brushed their teeth with willow branches or fingers and salt powder. Senior officials, scholar-bureaucrats, literati and other upper-class people kept their teeth clean. In addition to special saliva, they also had various tooth powders. It is popular to use pine resin, poria cocos and other Chinese medicinal materials and fragrant flowers and plants to dry and pound into powder, and then sieve the fine powder to pack. It is said that it was a trend led by Su Shi, a former scholar of the dynasty, and it is called "Su's Tooth Powder".

The usage of this kind of tooth powder is to put a small spoon in your mouth when brushing your teeth, spit it out after rinsing your mouth, and then brush your teeth. It is said that it can whiten and leave fragrance, clear away heat and sterilize.Xie Shi had observed before that Han Ji and others used this special tooth powder daily, and paired it with a pig hair toothbrush, it can be said that it is not inferior to modern people.

However, compared to the tooth powder that can only be used for mouthwash, the toothpaste made by Xie Shi added a by-product of brine—glycerin as a surfactant and humectant, and calcium carbonate poured out of lime as a friction agent, so it is completely It can be made into a paste that is not easy to solidify, and it can also take away more dirt when brushing your teeth.

"Stick some on your toothbrush, and then brush your teeth normally. This is more convenient than tooth powder and salt." Xie Shi took out a plum-shaped white porcelain bottle, which contained a simple version of shampoo, which was different from the refreshing one just now. Mint flavor, this time the shampoo has a subtle floral scent.

Han Ji frowned, looked at Xie Shi, and asked, "Is it plum blossom?"

Xie Shi nodded with a faint smile, he didn't say that this was a shower gel fragrance specially made for him, even Xie Shi himself used a uniform mint fragrance.

"This is specially used to wash your hair. Brother Han can try it when he goes back. As for the soap next to it, we have to wait another half a month before we can use it."

Since it is a plum vase, the opening is very small, but it is impossible to see what is inside.The reason Xie Shi used all ceramic bottles is because today's porcelain is much cheaper than glass.He made things for his own use, so naturally he wouldn't be so extravagant to use glass, but he already guessed that the profiteer Ceng Gu'an would do this.

Xie Shi also sent a set of toiletries to Qi Qi and other people who were close to him, but except for Han Ji's, the rest were mint scented.That night on the boat, all those who received gifts replaced the tooth powder or salt with toothpaste before going to bed, so that everyone's speech smelled of mint.

The next day, the ship loaded tea, porcelain and other goods on a nearby small port and began to return.There is nothing left or right, knowing that Xie Shi had a good harvest yesterday, Li Dahai and others began to encourage Xie Shi to continue fishing in the sea, and Xie Shi refused to continue fishing with lingering fear. He didn't want to have another big battle yesterday-now even he himself is a little bit Afraid of my luck.

"Yesterday's bluefin has a special flavor according to Xie Guanren's method!"

"Indeed, as expected, no matter how ordinary ingredients are, they can have new tricks in the hands of Xie Guan."

"Although what you said is true, the big guy caught by the owner is not a simple thing. Many people on this boat have seen this kind of big fish!"

"Indeed, as expected of our Patriarch! Besides, this can't be an ordinary big fish, but this is a divine beast ordered by Lord Dragon to give the jade seal!"

"I don't think it's the Dragon King, but the Jade Emperor in the sky sent a big fish. I heard from my mother that only the Jade Emperor can appoint the emperor in the world."

"It's all the same, besides, isn't the Dragon King also under the Jade Emperor?! Our patriarch is the emperor appointed by the gods in the sky!"

Some people talked about the jade seal dug from the belly of the fish in private, and extended it to the prophecy about it, and some people talked about eating, "I heard from Xie Guanren that if the remaining meat is not spoiled on the shore, It can also be made into canned fish, which can be stored for a long time. I don’t know what this canned fish tastes like.”

"It's delicious after all! It's a pity that I heard that Mr. Xie will go back to Le County soon, and we won't be able to eat Mr. Xie's craftsmanship soon."

"It's a pity, Mr. Xie taught these recipes to Dahai and the others long ago. Even if we continue to float on the sea for a few months as before, there are still these new dishes to improve the food. Be content, young man."

As the crew members discussed in private, when the ship landed, Xie Shi asked the cooks to pack the luggage while instructing the cooks in the salt field to make the remaining bluefin tuna into canned tuna—fortunately, it was late autumn and the temperature was low , these fish are still in good condition, no signs of rot.

Most of these cans were left to the salt workers in the saltworks and the crew of the shipyard, and some were brought back to the canteen of the academy to try something new. After all, this is a rare canned bluefin tuna.

----------

In the canteen of the academy, Fu You looked at the food in the food box with a sad face, as if looking at a heartbroken man.Even so, he never ate less.

Han Ning couldn't see his sighing appearance, and said with chopsticks: "Eat well!"

Fu You looked up at him sadly, "Didn't you say that the head of the mountain went to pick up Mr. Xie? Why hasn't Mr. Xie come back after so many days?"

Cai Hua laughed at him, "Mr. Xie went out and didn't delay cooking in the cafeteria, why do you always look forward to three meals a day?"

Fu Yu ate the last bit of braised pork on the plate in one gulp, then carefully poured the rice into the gravy, and ate it cherishedly before returning to him: "Mr. Xie told me before he left that Qinglitang is going to serve I am looking forward to the food tasting and drawing menus for autumn and winter, but it didn’t take long before I heard that my husband went to Quanzhou... I am looking forward to my husband’s return every day!"

Hearing this, Han Ning frowned, suddenly felt that the food in the food box was no longer delicious, and looked at the friend in front of him and thought he was an eyesore!

Cai Hua said straightforwardly: "Mr. Xie is so kind to you! There is such a good thing, Fu Xiaoyu, can you bring me? Don't worry, I don't eat much, I can also draw! I promise to draw better than you Looks good, with your level of painting, I don't know how Mr. Xie thinks it looks good!"

Hearing this, Fu You said angrily, "Mr. Xie likes my style of painting, and even praised his childishness!" After teasing Cai Hua, Fu You didn't say a word to the side again, and for some reason his complexion was a little pale Han Ning said: "Mr. Xie asked me to call you, Han Ning, when did you get so close to Mr. Xie?" The reasoning should be the same as that of Cai Hua and others, who only had a few encounters with Mr. Xie.

Han Ning, who had a grim expression just now, heard Fu Yu's words and tried his best to restrain the corners of his mouth from rising, so that he would not tell them that last time he went to give porridge to the refugees with his husband, and he also ate Liuxin persimmons made by him. He also gave the group tea that my husband likes to drink, so their relationship is naturally close!

After eating, Han Ning was the first to leave the cafeteria humming a little tune, and the other three looked at each other in blank dismay. Fu Yu pointed at his head and asked, "Is Han Ning okay here?"

Cai Hua also touched her chin, "Could it be that you lost your soul?"

Gao Shu glanced at the two of them who were playing Bao, and said, "Have you ever seen anyone happy?"

Han Ning and Cai Hua said in unison, "I've never seen Han Ning like this!"

While Fu You was looking forward to it, Chef Xie Shixie finally returned to Dongcang Academy after a month's absence.He came back with him, along with all kinds of seafood stuffed for him by Buqu from Chuanfang and Saltworks, as well as canned tuna made by Xie Shi.

When Xie Shi returned to the mansion, the first thing he did after resting was to see the development of the rice plants in the experimental field. Fortunately, during his absence, the hired farmers also took good care of them according to his instructions. In addition, there is Han Ji taking care of it, because the rice ears are growing very gratifyingly during the flowering period, and they only need to wait a few more days before they can be harvested.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xie Shi went to the cafeteria and handed over the new dishes that had been decided to the back chef one by one.Even if you are in the south, you are not immune to the invasion of autumn. Xie Shi discovered it before. After the autumnal equinox, the food in the cafeteria tends to become frozen food, and it loses some flavor when swallowed.

The students buried their heads in the bookstore and studied hard. Xie Shi couldn't let these kids not even have some hot soup, so long before he went to build the saltworks, he had the idea of ​​changing the menu of the cafeteria.In autumn and winter, there is nothing that warms the heart and lungs more than hot noodle soup.
