For some reason, people in the Tang Dynasty hardly ate animal offal, which reminded Xiao Han of the Americans of later generations.
I remember there were Chinese people living in the United States who did not believe in evil. I made a pot of husband and wife lung slices for a banquet with my neighbors. As a result, the tall American still ate heartily and often went to his house to eat and drink.
From this point of view, the so-called not eating is just that I have not found a suitable cooking method. As a descendant who has tasted all kinds of delicacies, Xiao Han feels that he has an obligation to pass on this craft, it is better than letting these things go to waste!
Processing haggis is actually very simple, just wash it and clean it! And according to the experience taught by the butcher next to the orphanage, these things must not be washed too clean! According to what he said: Someone once carefully rubbed the inside and outside of the intestines with alkaline alkaline, and it was indeed clean! However, the unique flavor of the haggis was also rubbed away, and it tasted just like chewing gum. The freshness had long since disappeared!
Although what the butcher said was a bit disgusting, it seemed to make sense. After all, in a certain island country in the east, people just like to eat the contents of their intestines...
After closing the lid of the casserole, I heard the cook shouting over there, which seemed to mean that the big pot with belly-exploding pot was boiling.
Xiao Han hurried over and instructed the chef to put the cut lamb tripe in the boiling water. When he saw that the lamb tripe was twisted, he immediately took it out and put it into a bowl. Then, the various sauces that had been prepared long ago were poured on top. The white, tender and crispy lamb tripe is ready to eat!
Don’t burst the lamb tripe too much at one time, one bowl is enough! If there is too much, it will be old and raw, which will affect the taste! And this thing must be cooked and eaten freshly. If it is a little late, the taste will change!
The chef respectfully brought the first bowl of fried belly to Xiao Han. Xiao Han was not polite, picked up a piece with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly, a familiar smell emerged! It reminded Xiao Han of the feeling of visiting the snack street in later generations!
Just a few bites to wipe out all the fried belly in the bowl! Then ask the cook to give everyone a bowl in the same manner. Even the cook himself will be compensated for overtime work!
Xiaodong and Lengzi were drooling when Xiao Han was chewing, and now they finally waited for their bowls to be brought over. He quickly and carefully bit off a bit of the raw lamb tripe, and then their eyes lit up! A pair of chopsticks were used to chop the food very quickly, and a small bowl of it went into my stomach in an instant!
"It's delicious! It's delicious! Is there any more?" After finishing their share, the two of them held up the empty bowls and looked longingly into the pot.
At this time, Xiao Han was filling his mouth with the last piece of sheep tripe from the second bowl. He felt comfortable for a while, then he patted his belly and said, "No more! How many stomachs will two sheep have in total? It's not a cow, there are four." A stomach!"
"But there is obviously something else..."
"Hey, your eyes are very useful. This is for Ren Qing and the night watchman! Do you want to watch the night?"
"Uh, forget it..."
As soon as the vigil was mentioned, the two men laughed and the second general quickly put down the bowl and shook his head vigorously!
Alas, vigil is not easy to do! Everyone was asleep, but I was still wandering outside! The key is that it is too close to the Qinling Mountains. If a wild boar or leopard comes here, you might become a hot pile on the ground the next day...
I couldn't eat anymore as my belly was bursting, but luckily there was still a lot of haggis. We sat around the stove, each with a large bowl. The white soup was sprinkled with finely chopped green onion and coriander, and a lot of vinegar! One bite and I almost swallowed my tongue!
Seeing the people here immersed in eating, Xiao Han rubbed his chin and thought: It is estimated that Datang's recipe will include a new dish in the future! But this is not bad. A little more food in the world is always more meaningful than a few more copper coins.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
This is the most simple life of the Tang people. It fades away from the hustle and bustle of the city crowd and returns to the purest nature. This unfettered pastoral life makes people very comfortable.
Xiao Han's life is very carefree now. I sleep until I wake up naturally every day. After getting up, I walk around and record the growth of the rice seeds. In the evening, he got together with the guards to brag and spank, telling dirty jokes and pornographic jokes, which made him blush with embarrassment. He reluctantly walked away with his ears pointed like antennas, which caused a lot of laughter.
Unknowingly, the rice seeds sprouted. This rice seed that placed great hopes on Ren Qing and Xiao Han finally did not disappoint them! In just a few days, it has grown to a height that takes twice as long as other rice varieties!
Led by Ren Qing, and after careful evaluation by several veteran farmers and agricultural supervisors, everyone agreed that they can be transplanted into the field and allowed to grow!
Thirty acres of newly plowed paddy fields, this is the best environment Xiao Han and the others can prepare for rice cultivation! In order to give them the best environment to grow, Ren Qing used basins and buckets to change the water in this large paddy field in the past two days!
Fortunately, this paddy field is in an excellent location and is very close to the ditch. Otherwise, just this thoughtless move could kill several people...
Piles of seedlings were transported to the fields by dedicated personnel, and more than twenty people lined up to work in the paddy fields! There is no Xiao Han here, because even Xiaodong, who has played with crops, is not qualified to do this!
As for the idiot, he accidentally broke a few seedlings while transporting them in the morning, and was kicked aside by Ren Qing! Now he is still squatting on the ground, making circles and cursing this unscrupulous black-faced man.
Transplanting rice seedlings is a big event, and it’s natural for Xiao Han to be absent! Squatting on the ground and watching the people working in the fields, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh:
As expected of someone who has been tending crops all year round, he is walking backwards in the paddy field with his back hunched over. Without them even raising their heads, the seedlings in front of them naturally lined up in a straight line, and the distance between each plant was almost exactly the same!
Because it is an experimental field, naturally it cannot be the same as ordinary farming! In order to ensure that the excavated rice seedlings are planted in the ground as soon as possible, the agricultural supervisor specially organized manpower to transport the rice seedlings! The people in the fields only need to plant rice seedlings, and others will do everything else for them.
In this way, these people work very quickly! In one morning, more than half of it has been done. At this rate, it is more than enough to plant thirty acres of land in one day!
From busy work in the morning to noon, Xiao Han looked at the sun above his head and asked them to come back to rest for a while and eat some food.
Just on the edge of the field, a pergola was temporarily built with straw mats and wood. The cold boiled water in the jar has a little salt added to it to add some salt to those who have worked hard all morning. This is because I came in a hurry and didn't bring any tea, otherwise a bowl of herbal tea would be the best drink at this time.
The man who came up from the field gasped and poured a bowl of salt water, and the kitchen brought boiled eggs over. No more, no less, one for each person!
Xiao Han held an egg in his hands and thought the cook was stingy at first. Later, I heard what Xiao Dongyi said with a red face, and then I realized: It turns out that the first day of planting rice is called opening the rice seedling gate, and it is a rule to give each person an egg...
The ancients had many rules, so I quickly dragged Xiaodong to one side and asked him to tell me what other rules there were, so as to save myself from embarrassment later...
There are many rules for farming, but Xiaodong is still young and can't remember many things clearly. He only remembers other things. They squat down to pull out the seedlings in the morning. First, they sweep the straw tied with the seedlings across the field several times. This is called "seeking madness".
However, this point also made Xiao Han suddenly realize. He saw this strange phenomenon in the morning, and muttered to himself, thinking that they were going crazy...
