——If one day, you came to the Han Dynasty, what kind of food can you eat?

Yuan Huan had read many similar popular science articles before, and laughed it off when he read it. It was only in this era that he realized how sad the "not introduced into China" one after another was.

In this era when ordinary people had two meals a day, aristocrats from aristocratic families had three meals a day, and the emperor had four meals a day, even if he had ten meals a day, he couldn't eat whatever he wanted like later generations.

What does it mean to have money and not spend it, this is what it means to have money and not spend it.

Although there are basically all kinds of cooking methods available at this time, the frying, roasting, steaming and frying methods are basically different from those he is familiar with. The most common foods that appear in front of him these days are wheat rice, rice porridge, bean porridge, vegetables and meat. It is basically cooked and served, accompanied by sauces and fried noodles made of various ingredients, it is a rare delicacy for ordinary people.

Before the advent of iron pans, cooking could only exist in his memory.

In the days when Yuan Huan just arrived in Anguo Yuan's Mansion, because his body was too weak, besides soup and medicine, he took in medicinal food every day. It was rare to have a candied fruit. He thought that as long as he could get rid of the medicinal food, he could eat any food happily, until he really See normal meals.

Stone mills are not popular now, and the stone mills in the mansion were hardly used before his arrival, and the fine flour flour that is ground into flour is not common in later generations, even so, it is something that only a few people can enjoy.

Before the appearance of stone mills, the barley rice eaten by the common people was one grain of wheat, which was unpalatable no matter how it was made, and only savage farmers would eat it. Eating "barley rice" was even regarded as a sign of poor people.

After the stone mill, the barley rice was also cooked with wheat and skin, and the taste was also not good. He felt that his inability to eat was not only due to his poor appetite, but also the reason why these meals made him lose his appetite when they were served.

Millet, millet, wheat, bean, rice, and five grains are all popularized. Compared with the other three, millet and rice are relatively precious, and only rich and noble families can eat them. In the past few years, people who had no main family lived here in the Yuan Mansion, and the reserves of bean and wheat are quite large. Considerably, there is not much millet and rice.

There are many wars outside, and there are very few merchants who dare to transport goods between states at this time. The family is used to self-sufficiency, and it is not easy to buy for a while.

If you want to eat something good, you can only use your brains and play with the ingredients in the house.

Among the five grains, the status of bean is very embarrassing. If people eat too much, they will get flatulence. In the era when medicine was not developed, any disease could kill people. Except when the green and yellow are not enough to eat, no one is willing to use beans as a staple food. , used only to feed livestock.

Of course, the premise that beans are not popular is that there is no series of delicious and cheap soy products such as bean sprouts, soy milk, tofu, and bean skin.

Before Yuan Huan arrived in Anguo, the Yuan Mansion had no owner, and many things were unprepared. However, there were various workshops, not only workshops for weaving clothes, making pottery and bowls, but even ironware.

Although the craftsmen in the mansion can only make farm tools and kitchen knives, sometimes there is only a thin line between farm tools and weapons. As long as the materials are sufficient, those craftsmen who have been engaged in this industry for generations will have no problem changing farm tools into weapons.

There is a blacksmith in the house, and the next thing is much easier.

The exiled celestial being, who seems to have no fingers at all, went around the workshops in person, and the heads of the workshops were trembling, thinking that the master had something against them, so they knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to say a word, for fear of accidentally bumping into each other. A fairy-like homeowner.

Originally, Yuan Huan just wanted the craftsmen to improve the stone mill, but before he even spoke about the clinker, he scared the craftsmen in the mansion into fear, so he had no choice but to go back to the main courtyard and tell the steward his request, and let the steward give instructions go down.

The stone mill looks very simple, but the technical content is quite high, especially the vertical shaft in the middle, which needs to be made of iron. He can’t remember exactly how to do it, so the craftsman has to figure it out slowly. Not to mention that he was nervous as a craftsman in the workshop, even if the craftsman was not nervous, his body, which was comparable to that of Sister Lin, would not be able to hold on.

Originally thought it would take a long time to improve the stone mill, but the craftsmen were extremely efficient, and the finished product was sent to him in less than half a month. The flour and soybean flour produced were much finer than the previous mill. On a good day, he ate an extra bowl of noodles.

Half of white flour and half of bean flour are mixed into dough to make hand-rolled noodles. They are called soup cakes here. There is no such name as noodles here. All noodles are collectively called cakes.

In addition to the common barley, rice and meat, there are also bean sprouts soaked in water in the kitchen, seasonal vegetables grown in the village, and tender mutton marinated with various seasonings for a long time and then grilled.

Cattle are precious, and Jizhou is not too far from the grasslands, and there are more mutton here.

Yuan Huan's own food is very different from other people's. Other people's food table is full of wine and meat. He only has a bowl of noodle soup, a plate of cold bean sprouts, and a glass of honey water.

The reason why he likes to eat with the little guy Yuan Jing is not because the little guy doesn't have much to eat, and they don't have to hurt anyone when they eat together.

The military generals in their prime of life have a lot of food. The kitchen specially prepared more meals today, fearing that they would not have enough to eat. The kitchen has not ceased fire. It turns out that this is very correct. Bucket of wheat rice, and all the meat left for tomorrow was processed and sent over, which was enough to feed a few guests who came from afar.

No, it wasn't all eaten by the guests. General Lu Da was the one with the biggest appetite in the whole banquet, and he killed the whole bucket of wheat rice by himself.

It was rare for Sun Jian and the others to have so much fun eating, they swept away all the food on the food table like a storm, then stopped their chopsticks in satisfaction, licked their lips and was about to say something, looked up at the smiling gaze of the person in charge, His face blushed and he couldn't help being embarrassed, "I was born in a humble family, and I rarely see such delicacies, which makes adults laugh."

Cao Cao wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel, and his face was a bit embarrassed. He was born in a family of officials and grew up in Luoyang City. He also met the children of Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao. Never had such a meal.

Not to mention him, Yuan Benchu ​​probably never met him, otherwise that guy would have shown off in front of him a long time ago, why would he have to wait until he found out by himself.

Yuan Huan raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "It's just some common food, as long as everyone is happy."

He wanted to carry forward the tradition of the Great Heavenly Dynasty and discuss things at the dinner table, but he didn't expect that these people would all bury their heads in eating after sitting down, which made it difficult for him to disturb him, even seeing how delicious they were, he himself ate more A few mouthfuls.

Eat and sow rice, and my friends will not deceive me.

It's not too late to talk about business now that we've had enough to eat and drink.

Yuan Huan bent his fingers and tapped twice on the table, asked the maid to remove the food table, and then called Tao Ji to help him up, "Wen Ruolai told Meng De about the matter of Yanzhou's farming. As for Wu Chenghou, follow him first." I'll go to the study."

Cao Hong, Zu Mao and the others followed the maid to rest. Xun Yu got up with a smile, and walked to Cao Cao and bowed with arms, "Xun Yu in Yingchuan, I have seen Governor Cao."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Cao Cao hurriedly replied. He had met Xun Chen, who was also from the Xun family in Yingchuan, beside Yuan Shao.

One of the Xun brothers followed Yuan Shao, and the other followed his elder brother. This man had a good eye.

Cao Cao looked at the person in front of him indiscriminately, and saw Xun You and Xun Gongda sitting beside him. He probably knew why the Xun clan didn't go to Yuan Shao, but came to Zhongshan.

Xun Chen was an official in Jizhou. He had previously persuaded Han Fu to sell Jizhou. Now he is still trusted by Yuan Shao. I don't know how long this trust will last.

The two people have their own thoughts in their hearts, and their faces are still amiable. Yuan Huan is deeply moved when he sees their backs walking away together. Sure enough, no matter when they meet, these two people can see each other.

Lu Bu had nothing to do for the time being, so he followed up in the name of protecting the lord, causing Sun Jian to glare at him, and he would not be harmful to the adults, so why should he be on guard?

The slender young man walked in front, walking slowly, his sleeves were blown by the wind passing through the hall, he was like a bamboo in the wind, and he was also floating like a fairy.

Yuan Huan walked in front, not paying attention to the gunpowder smoke quietly rising between the two behind him, walked to the window and opened it, and then motioned Sun Jian to sit down opposite him, "Wu Chenghou is here, but I am sure I don't want to take orders from you anymore." Yuan Shu?"

Lu Bu stood beside him with his arms folded, staring at Sun Jian with a serious face. The general who was much taller than ordinary people stood there. If the person sitting opposite was a person with weak mental endurance, his legs would be weak if he couldn't even speak. .

"As an official of the imperial court, he should obey the imperial court. Why should he obey Yuan Shuyi's words?" Wu Chenghou straightened his waist, ignoring Lu Fengxian, who felt extremely oppressive, and replied righteously, "For Han Chen Those who eat Han Lu should eat Han Lu, and those who eat Han Lu should serve their family and country."

The implication is that whoever gives the food will hang out with him.

The imperial court was only responsible for paying the officials and not paying them. Yuan Shu gave them food and grass. There was no difference between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Cao Mengde told him from his own experience that the two of them were brothers in difficulty when it came to recognizing their elder brother. good.

After so many years of hard work, the person in front of me is the one who gives food the most, not to mention the food in his house is so delicious. If your lord is still so generous in the future, as long as the soldiers under him are not hungry, someone will come To provoke their relationship, he will never betray the adults.

Sun Jian looked helplessly at the lord who was rare and he liked, and his waist was straighter, not because he boasted, but the soldiers and horses under him had followed him in the north and south for so many years. Not much difference.

Yuan Huan coughed lightly, raised a smile and continued, "Meng De has explained just now, does Wu Chenghou understand his identity now?"

"Understood." Sun Jian choked for a moment, his waist was not as straight as before, and he replied with a face full of embarrassment, "Jian was careless and didn't pay attention to the details. At first, he thought that the adult came from a poor family, so he was shocked."

"I have a slight disagreement with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If Marquis Wu Cheng stays, might he fight against them in the future?" Seeing his reaction, Yuan Huan cut straight to the point, "There will be no deduction of grain and grass, it's just a short-term official title You can't be promoted inside, so Wu Chenghou might accept it?"

"Naturally." Sun Jian nodded his head heavily. His title and official position were not a problem. He was not afraid of conflict with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but he was afraid that the lord still had brotherly feelings for those two guys.

The words have already reached this point, if you don't call out, the lord will see you, Wu Chenghou got up quickly, walked two steps to the open place, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, "My lord is on the top!" , to be worshiped by Sun Jian."

"Wentai, please get up quickly." Yuan Huan couldn't get up himself, and winked at Lu Bu next to him, asking him to help him up so as not to lose his manners.

Lu Fengxian grinned, strode over, picked him up from the ground, and said while patting him on the shoulder, "Marquis Wu Cheng, don't need to be polite, get up quickly, you will be a colleague in the future, please give me more advice hahaha Haha~"

Sun Jian: Cough cough cough cough!

General Lu Da's strength is unbearable for ordinary people, Sun Jian's whole body is not good after being photographed by him, so he calmed down and sat back quickly, "General Xian's divine power is far beyond my reach."

"Feng Xian." Yuan Huan stared helplessly, but unfortunately, his soft expression had no deterrent power at all.

Lu Bu rubbed his nose and lowered his head, his beard dangling behind him, obviously he was just looking honest, but he still had bad ideas in his heart.

Yuan Huan laughed out loud, let him look at his toes, and then told Sun Jian about the next thing.

Yanzhou is currently leaderless, and he wants to help Cao Cao become the shepherd of Yanzhou. Sun Jian's soldiers and horses can help him a lot. Cao Cao's military ability is very strong, and his ability to govern internal affairs is also very strong. It happens that Sun Jian leads troops to help him guard Yanzhou. The two separate powers, one civil and one military. As long as the surrounding princes do not set fire to Yanzhou, they will have enough time to restore Yanzhou's vitality.

The food and grass come from him, and the two people governing Yanzhou are more reassuring than letting Cao Cao hold the power alone.

Moreover, today's world is not peaceful, people need to be on guard everywhere, people are bad natured, usually like to fight in the nest, whenever there are foreign enemies, they will unite every minute, and there are so many foreign enemies attracting attention, the two of them will not turn against each other easily.

Lu Bu listened to their conversation with his ears pricked up, and when he heard that Sun Jian would not stay in the mansion, he immediately stiffened, and his eyes became more friendly when he looked over.

There are already enough people in their house, and all of them can fight. If Sun Wentai had said earlier that he would be stationed in Yanzhou with Cao Mengde, he must have gently lifted them up to congratulate him just now.

Mistake, sorry, hahahaha~

After listening to the order, Wu Chenghou got up and went out, feeling the man's inexplicable gaze, goosebumps all over his body, he hurriedly cupped his hands and walked away.

In the courtyard next door, Zu Mao and Cheng Pu were sitting in the room waiting, when they saw their general come back, they quickly got up, "General, how is the situation?"

"My lord is benevolent and righteous, ten million times better than Yuan Gonglu." Sun Jian walked in quickly, closed the door behind his back, first drank a can of herbal tea, and then told them what he said in the study just now.

There are already so many useful people in the house, many of whom are smart, his vision must be fine this time, not to mention that Cao Mengde is with him this time, even if there may be problems, it is the two of them who are unlucky together.

Thinking about the bright side, his previous experience was all the hardships before meeting the Ming Lord, and now this is the Ming Lord in his mind.

Zu Mao Handang nodded as he listened, and when he heard the final exchange of eyes, he pondered for a moment and asked, "General, I will stay in Yanzhou with food and grass, did Lord Yuan put forward any conditions?"

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, "Conditions? What conditions?"

Cheng Pu sighed, "It's our honor that Mr. Yuan is willing to trust us, but Zhongshan is not close to Yanzhou, so it's one thing for Mr. Yuan to trust us. If someone comes forward with slander, saying that we have a different intention to stand on our own in Yanzhou , what should the general do?"

They came here to betray Yuan Shu, there is a precedent of betrayal, will the new master fully trust it?

Sun Jian hissed, thinking that there was indeed a problem in his mind, he clenched his fist and beat his palm, turned around several times, and thought of a good way in a flash, "In this way, let Ce'er bring his family to Yuan's mansion, and some family members are here As a hostage, even if there is a villain by our side, there is nothing we can do about it.”

He just noticed that apart from the servants and tenants, the Yuan Mansion has only two masters, the lord and the young master. Besides that, they are the family members of the Xun family in Yingchuan. The family members of the Xun family can escape the war here, as can his family of the Sun family.

He and Xun's uncles and nephews are both lords and ministers, and the lord can't treat one more favorably than another.

Good idea, just do it!
