oil can...

When it comes to frying oil drums, Song Shi is quite experienced.When he was a child, he used to light firecrackers with his neighbors and elementary school classmates and throw them into a discarded oil canister that he didn't know where to find.

How powerful is the explosive power of this ancient black powder?You have to fill a bucket full of medicine to blow up the oil tank, right?There are so many medicines made into explosive kits that are enough to blow up a section of their Hanzhong city wall. Isn't this a waste?

Master Yang saw that his brows were slightly frowned, as if thinking of some embarrassment, he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the gunpowder in the oil tank can't blow it up?"

It's not that it can't be blown up, but it's a waste, and how powerful is the explosion power of an oil cannon?And he remembered that the shell of the grenade had to be crushed, otherwise the wall of the barrel would not explode, and the power would not be strong enough.It is estimated that when it explodes, it will explode from the twisted cap or the entire upper cover first. The lid will fly out first, and the airflow and flame will rush out from the mouth of the barrel...

It's better to use the gun directly...

No, isn't this a cannon?

Heartless cannon!

He traveled through time for so long that he almost forgot the magic weapon of heartless cannon!

That's right, he's seen it in old movies and documentaries, made out of gasoline cans!Pour a layer of gunpowder into the barrel, put the upper shelf or something, and then put an explosive bag on it. Once the gunpowder explodes, the explosive bag will be sent hundreds of meters away. After the explosion, the power is stronger than ordinary cannons!

He was excited for a while, and was about to answer, but he suddenly woke up and changed his words: "I am a herdsman official, I don't understand military affairs, so I dare not make judgments lightly. However, according to my humble opinion, everything in the world is nothing more than "doing" and "knowing." "The two words, those who have the experience of the ancestors can know it before doing it. What the predecessors have not done is to know it first and then know it. We get the results and record them, which can also benefit future generations."

Master Yang chuckled: "You're right, I just saw your popcorn today... machine, you have never seen ordnance, what can you think of? There must be a new oil tank in your economic park. Write a post to ask Hanzhong Wei Zhou Zhenfu to ask for some gunpowder, and then ask him to bring an old soldier who can use gunpowder to go with him for debugging, so let's go to the Shanyao who tried to throw the oil bottle last time to try!"

Song Shi bowed his head and clasped his hands, no longer suppressed his smile, and agreed: "If you are invited by Mr. Lai, the lower officials will also gain insight."

so close.

He almost explained too clearly, exposing his extremely high military accomplishment and knowledge of war.

He was born in a family of officials and gentry, and after more than [-] years of peace and governance, he was the number one scholar, and he was also a civil servant and a civil official. He has no access to weapons. How can he point out the military and civilians? Are the leaders of the two political parties acting unconscionable?

Mr. Yang is smart and keen, if he realizes that his identity does not match the knowledge he understands...

Although it would not be possible to really surrender him as a monster, they still had to take good care of their vests, and they would not reveal their secrets if they could.

He firmly grasps the personality setting of "after practicing the prophet, the unity of knowledge and action", and persuades the leaders to practice the true knowledge - when he practices it, he can slowly draw out the knowledge that has no conscience.

Mr. Yang really didn't see the essence of him as an expert in modern warfare, and when his servants gave him pen and ink, he and he each wrote their own posts, and each selected their own officers to deliver letters.After all the serious things were settled, I took a break and tasted some freshly popped rice crackers.

There is sugar in this rice flower, which is slightly sweet and crisper than the fried yin rice. It melts when you grind it with the tip of your tongue. The taste and texture are quite good.He took a few sips, looked down at the sesame rice cracker candy on the dim sum plate on the table, and suddenly laughed: "So this dim sum is made by yourself in your yamen! I thought it was the internally made dim sum of the palace..."

Those toffee, sugar water candied fruit and so on, can't they also be made by the Hanzhong government office?He actually thought it was something made inside, and solemnly asked someone to take it back to his hometown.

Yang Rong shook his head and laughed.Song Shi was worried that he would accidentally choke the rice flower when he laughed, so he hurriedly asked someone to deliver lotus tea smoked by the new lotus that bloomed early this summer, and asked the adults to drink to calm down.

When Master Yang settled down, Song Shi explained: "The rice grain produced in this mansion in the past two years is too much for the common people to eat. Our government can't just store it in the warehouse after harvesting it. The nearby mansions have a good harvest this year. I can’t sell so much, and there are shipping fees and tariffs further away, so it’s not worthwhile to sell it any longer. The official tried this pressure meter and just produced popcorn. It tasted similar to the yin rice in Sichuan, so he asked someone to get some Tanglai made rice cracker candy, I want to try it and open a source of income for the people in the mansion."

Popcorn is simple and time-saving, and the popped rice puffs up bigger, so it is more cost-effective to make snacks than stir-fried yin rice.It is then covered with boiled thick syrup and compacted. After cooling, it is sweet and dry. The sugar is not easy to melt in winter, and the shelf life of this rice cake candy can also be very long.

If the merchants who do this kind of business can be supported, a famous snack will be added to the local area, and the people will have a place to sell food, and the pressure on their government to stabilize food prices will be relieved a little.

While listening to his plan, Master Yang also tasted the rice cracker candy.This thing is said to be sugar, but there are no sugar lumps between the rice grains. The taste is slightly hard and brittle, and every bite is fragrant, sweet and crisp, as if not much sugar is used, but it is an affordable and delicious snack.

However, Hanzhong does not produce sugar, so the production of this candy must cost a lot of money, right?

Song Shi said with a smile: "The sugar is not bad. There are sugar cane in Sichuan. The cook under the leadership of the official memorized a recipe for making western sugar in Fujian. He bought the cheapest coarse brown sugar from Sichuan and filtered it with yellow mud. It becomes white granulated sugar."

It can't be filtered as white as snowflake sugar, and it doesn't matter if it is a little yellow.Because this thing is a way of small profits but high sales, it does not need to use the standard requirements of the imperial court, and the fried sugar juice is also a bit caramelized.

Not only does he not want to strictly demand himself and improve food quality, he even wants to hold a food fair to promote this kind of puffed food to all provinces and Zhili prefectures and counties across the country.

This popcorn can be popped not only with rice, but also with millet, sorghum rice, and broomcorns... The land of nine borders lacks fine grains, and coarse grains are difficult for young and old to swallow. Use a popcorn machine to process them, and you can swallow them easily even if you eat them empty-handed. , or pour some hot water to soak and eat, it is soft and smooth rice soup.

He tasted it himself, and said to adults: "Actually, a handful of popcorn in the tea is not bad, and it has a little fragrance."

Master Yang had eaten the fried rice tea brought in by the herdsmen outside the pass, and recalling its taste, he nodded in agreement: "Adding rice is delicious and mellow, and it also helps to fill the stomach. It's just that it's better to put less ghee and milk, otherwise it won't be enough to clear the mouth. Get tired."

At his age, he would be half full after drinking milk tea, and he couldn't even eat any mutton.

Don't worry, my lord, there is no authentic Mongolian milk tea in Hanzhong Mansion, and there is no mutton for dinner.

The main dishes for dinner are beef brisket and braised short ribs stewed in a pressure cooker, a large pot of local-style roast goose, a plate of fake Jiangyao made of black fish back meat, a plate of double crispy waist and belly, various stir-fried vegetables, cold salad... mostly All are produced in the house.

Mr. Yang has a frugal temperament, he is not the kind of person who waits for a meal to say that he needs at least thirty or so dishes to show his status as a governor, and he feels palatable even after eating these farm dishes.Especially the beef, which is extra soft, rotten and salty. It doesn't taste like old but slaughtered beef, but it tastes like a healthy cow.

He couldn't help asking: "This beef tastes very tender. Could it be that he broke his leg when he went to the field, or was he sick?"

Song Shi said with a smile: "How dare I let my lord eat a sick cow? This is a strong old cow. The city official watched Mike kill it before asking someone to kill it. The comprador in the mansion knew that the next official loves to eat beef, so he cut it A few catties, stewed in a pressure cooker."

This kind of old beef meat is not easy to be stewed even if it is put on hawthorn, tea, and vinegar.Usually, a pot of beef needs to be cooked for several hours before it can be eaten. After having a pressure cooker, it saves a lot of effort, and it can be stewed for more than an hour until it is crispy.

Beef is still not easy to stew, so replace it with ribs and stew for half an hour, even the bones can be stewed crispy.

Master Yang became more and more surprised the more he heard it, but he thought that the popcorn in the court had only been baked for a short time, and it had the effect of steaming and frying when making yin rice, so he was convinced and asked him for a pressure cooker.

The meat stewed in the pressure cooker is eaten by a gentleman, and there is nothing to look at in that pot.

After dinner, Song Shi asked someone to bring the pressure cooker up for the governor to taste: there are two types in total, one is a steam pressure cooker with a barometer and a lock, and the other is a household pressure cooker with a pressure limiting valve.It's just that there is no rubber school now, and the unsatisfactory Eucommia gum can't adapt to the high temperature environment. The lid of the pressure cooker is covered with a leather pad polished by a cobbler according to the shape.

Master Yang touched a pot from the inside to the outside, and repeatedly praised the pot for its thickness and ease of use. He only regretted that it was too small, and it couldn't be used as a big pot of rice in the military camp.

The greater the pressure, the greater the pressure, and the steel can't bear it.

Song Shi replied with some regret: "This is because the material is not good enough, and we can make better ones in the future. However, this kind of pressure cooker with a pressure gauge can also be used in the army. It can not only stew food, but also steam it to serve in the army." The knife, needle, and cotton cloth used by doctors are more convenient and reliable than roasting and boiling.”

Master Yang touched the deep cauldron with a pressure gauge, and said with a smile: "This pot cooks meat today and blood-stained cloth tomorrow, how can people eat it? But the army really needs it. This kind of thing, the nameless difference you practice here is also very useful, and it has saved countless soldiers..."

He wants this pot, but he can't ask for it for nothing.

In a few days, he will enter the secret book, and then write a letter to the Ministry of War, asking Hanzhong for a sum of money to help him build an iron factory, and in the future he will specialize in the production of... such pressure-bearing instruments for the army.

Song Shiyuan planned to present the prescription, so that he could get a commendation and let the Ministry of War produce it by itself.Unexpectedly, Master Yang would apply for him to be a factory engaged in the manufacture of military equipment in an upright manner, and ask the court to allocate funds for him——

The construction of his economic park has relied on the local economy since the beginning, and the imperial court has not allocated funds yet!The tributes brought in and the court purchases are all given at cost price and ex-factory price!

He actually has a day when he can win the court's wool? !

As expected of Mr. Yang, one of the legendary Three Yang Cabinets, he has such thoughts, such a mind, and such a foresight without regard to small profits!Why don't people want to dig local talents, but also support local development?Dazheng's enterprise economy was supported by the elders with long-term vision like Mr. Yang and their teachers!

Song Shi got up excitedly to thank him, Master Yang quickly supported him, and said with a smile: "What is the prefect of Song doing? It is clear that you have done a lot for the soldiers of the court. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, I should encourage you, and the court should reward you. Why bother?" in this way?"

Master Yang is so understanding and reasonable, Song Shi couldn't be more polite.

After much deliberation, there is no repayment, so let’s give the adults an artifact that can be used for cooking when marching. Does the adults know that this tin oil barrel can not only hold gasoline, diesel, and explosives, but can also be transformed into a multi-functional barbecue grill?
