Ran Fang suddenly smiled. After eating whole grains for so long, he was finally able to make a good meal of his favorite food.
How is it possible to still eat cake?
"If we still make cakes and eat them, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?"
"Of course I have a better way to eat it."
"Someone, bring some water!"
In the courtyard, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ran Fang poured water into the basin, and then began to rub the noodles with the water.
In a few minutes, the dough is ready.
Ran Fang found a board and covered it with the dough, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"Let the chef mix the stuffing with pork, okay?"
"You can bring it over."
It was obvious that Zheng Guo didn't understand what Ran Fang was talking about, but the guard next to him understood immediately and came over soon with a porcelain basin.
There were several chefs following behind, and they also came to learn Ran Fang's method with doubts.
Zheng Guo felt a little heartbroken when he saw that there was minced meat, some cabbage, and other things inside.
"this……"
He wanted to say that the cabbage and pork were both very expensive things. If they were chopped up and put together like this, wouldn't this be a waste?
But when he thought that he still wanted to beg Ran Rang, he couldn't say any more.
However, his heartbroken look could not be hidden from Ran Fang.
Ran Fang glanced at the people around him, and it was obvious that everyone felt a little pity, but the people in his house, who had been with him for such a long time, knew that he was not so kind to his servants.
So even if they felt regretful, no one dared to question his decision.
"Keep grinding another bowl of noodles and we'll be ready."
The people under his command immediately started a new round of grinding noodles in a hurry.
While waiting, Ran Fang took the initiative to tell Zheng Guo: "This thing is called a stone mill, and it can grind wheat and rice into powder."
"The food we eat is better than usual. If this thing could be common, people wouldn't have to eat those rough grains that are hard to swallow."
"Moreover, after grinding the flour and adding some things, you can eat more than wheat."
"Do you think it's okay?"
Zheng Guo didn't expect that Ran Fang would take the initiative to talk to him about this, but after hearing Ran Fang's next words, he knew that it was for Qian Shou to live a better life.
In an instant, his understanding of Ran Fang gained another level.
Looking at the two ceramic basins on the table, the suspicion in his heart suddenly dropped a lot.
"The commander has such a heart, I really admire him."
"If it is true as the commander said, it will really be a blessing to the leader of Guizhou in the world!"
"But...even so, the sufferings of the people all over the world are not only because they find it difficult to eat, but more importantly, they have nothing to eat at all."
"Although the short curved shaft plow made by the commander can solve some problems, there are still many problems that have not been solved."
"Especially the problem of water sources, irrigation is the biggest problem for the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Guizhou."
"Cultivation requires water, so the yield will be lower year by year."
The short curved shaft plow had already been used in the villages near Xianyang City, but Zheng Guo still felt that Ran Fang must have other ideas.
Just because he couldn't give Ran Fang anything, he was too embarrassed to ask Ran Fang again.
The words Ran Fang said just now made him feel that Ran Fang also had the life of the common people in his heart.
Then if he asked, Ran Fang would definitely not refuse.
After hearing his question, Ran Fang naturally understood what Zheng Guo meant. He was also willing to help people improve their living abilities.
However, naturally he would not hand this thing over easily.
"Well, let's talk about it later."
"Let's make this flour first."
After saying that, someone happened to bring the flour.
Ran Fang took it upon himself to cut the dough into half. After kneading it in his hands for a while, he made the dough into a long strip, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife.
Under everyone's surprised eyes, he flattened the dough with his hands, and then started rolling it back and forth with the round stick in his right hand.
While rolling out, he kept turning the dough left and right.
After a while, a very thin and small dough pancake was made.
Then, Ran Fang placed the pork and cabbage in another basin on the pancake, and then pinched both sides of the pancake to turn it into a bulging semi-circular pancake.
Ran Fang placed the cake on the table nearby and took the initiative to explain: "This thing is called a dumpling. It will be very delicious if you dip it in some vinegar."
After speaking, he looked at the chefs and asked, "Have you learned how to do it?"
The chefs looked at each other. They understood the method, but they still didn't understand what Ran Fang meant.
But he still nodded sincerely, "Master Qi, I understand."
Ran Fang nodded happily. He was indeed a chef and learned quickly.
At that time, he wanted to learn how to roll dumpling wrappers, but he kept contacting him. Now, after watching it once, he learned it!
"Okay, then you do it."
As he spoke, he put the rolling pin aside and signaled the chefs to get started.
A chef stepped forward, picked up the rolling pin, and began to roll out the dumpling wrappers, imitating Ran Fang's gesture.
It's a pity that he has learned a little bit, and the dumpling wrapper is difficult to describe, and it is very slow.
After a while, beads of sweat began to fall from his forehead.
After barely rolling it into a round shape, he also put the filling into the dumpling wrapper, pinched the edges tightly, and placed it on the table.
Later, several chefs took turns rolling out dumpling wrappers and learning how to make dumplings.
By the time they reached the last dumpling, their movements were already very skilled, and the dumpling skin was getting rounder and rounder.
Looking at the dumplings placed on the table, everyone's eyes fell on Ran Fang, waiting for his next order.
Ran Fang stepped forward to see that the dumplings were not broken, and then he said: "Go to the kitchen and boil a pot of water. After the water boils, put these dumplings into the water."
"If you don't stir it gently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot, you can't eat it. You can't stir it too hard, otherwise the dumpling skin will break."
"You can give it a try first. After you have no problem cooking a few dumplings, you can move them all in."
"Cook until you feel that the meat inside and the skin are cooked, then you can take it out."
"Okay, you go ahead and do it. I'll be waiting in the front hall."
After giving all the instructions, Ran Fang and Zheng Guo walked towards the front hall, and the chefs hurriedly went to cook dumplings.
After arriving and sitting down in the front hall, Zheng Guo couldn't help but ask again: "Commander, when was the future you just mentioned?"
"In a few months, we won't be able to plant anymore. How will these people live their lives?"
"Please give me some advice from the commander. If the commander has any request, I will never refuse as long as I can do it!"
Ran Fang had no intention of embarrassing Zheng Guo. Since he said so, he was willing to give him a chance.
"In that case, I have something I need you to do."
"When the matter is completed, I will tell you the method."
