"Is this considered the rhythm of being taken care of?"
Any profession is considered a profession, and so is begging. It is understandable that the rich are keen on this at such an old age and need support. The elderly still need to find something to do. So does begging. It's just that the old man left one sentence behind, I am responsible for making money to support the family, and you are responsible for looking beautiful. This kind of support is the real support.
Because of Leng Bingbing's arrival, it was obvious that it was inappropriate for the two of them to share a bed. After all, Leng Bingbing's behavior before marriage was not acceptable for the time being. For this reason, the wealthy party specially arranged a house for Leng Bingbing. The conditions are naturally much better than Wang Budie's.
Another day passed, and Wang Busheng couldn't remember how long it had been since he came to this strange dynasty. He was confused every day. Apart from earning a cheap wife, he had accomplished nothing. He had no money, no silk to cover his body, and no one to protect him. To be honest, as a time-travelling person who is at least a hundred years ahead of this era in terms of knowledge and vision, I should not be poor even though I am still poor. This is not how the script should be written.
It's time to go out for a run tomorrow, buy some brown sugar, and do experiments. The first pot of gold depends on it.
Sugar is an essential ingredient in our lives. Our country is also the first country in the world to master sugar-making technology. According to research, as early as the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, our ancestors knew how to use grains to make sweet foods. In the "Book of Songs", a collection of poems from the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is a poem "Zhouyuan is fertile, and the pansy tea is as sweet as glutinous rice", which means that in the era of the ancient ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people moved westward to Zhouyuan, and the people here The land is very fertile, and even the wild vegetables are as sweet as glutinous rice. The so-called malt sugar is a kind of starch sugar made from grains, also known as malt sugar. Maltose is made from cereal starch mixed with malt and then saccharified and boiled to form a viscous product.
There are two birthplaces of cane sugar in the world. One is ancient India, which can be known from its ancient book "Vedas"; the other is ancient China. The earliest written information can be found in the work of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan in the late Warring States Period. "The Calling of Souls" contains the sentence "Shy soft-shelled turtles and fried lambs have some pulp", which means that when cooking delicious foods such as soft-shelled turtles and fried lambs, some "slurry" should be sprinkled on them for seasoning. The so-called pulp refers to the sweet juice squeezed from sugar cane.
By the Western Han Dynasty, the application of sugarcane products had further developed. Liu Xin's "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" once mentioned that "the King of Minyue presented five husks of stone honey to Emperor Gao." The so-called stone honey refers to sugar products made from sugar cane. , Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped the emperor in Ganquan Palace, and ordered Sima Xiangru and dozens of others to write poems to praise it. They jointly produced nineteen chapters of "Song of Suburban Sacrifice", which includes the sentence "Taizun Zhejiang Analyzes Chaoyu". It means: Sugar cane juice can relieve the lingering hangover of noble people in the morning. It can be seen that in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, people used sugarcane juice not only as a commonly used seasoning food, but also as a hangover.
It is also Sima Xiangru. In his famous work "Zixu Fu", when describing how rich the products of the Chu country are, there is also a text expression of "Zhu Cane and Qie", where "Xianqi" is the ancient banana, and "Zhu Cane" "Cane" means sugar cane. This can show that during the two hundred years or so in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty when Sima Xiangru was alive, the consumption of sugarcane juice had become a common thing for the upper class in society.
Beet sugar is naturally extracted from beets, and these two sugars can also be collectively referred to as brown sugar. The production process of brown sugar is relatively simple, it is unrefined jaggery. Just squeeze sugar cane and beet directly. Since it is unrefined, it contains a lot of nutrients. This is one of the reasons why brown sugar is the main tonic for mothers during their confinement period. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar is slightly warm and has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and stomach, dispelling wind and cold, analgesic and spasmolysis, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Appropriate supplementation of brown sugar after delivery has a good effect on improving fatigue, chills, pain, lochia, backache, and lower abdominal pain caused by excessive blood loss, excessive physical and energy consumption, and blood stasis. If you have stomach cold pain or vomiting, boil water with brown sugar and ginger to relieve the pain. Menstrual pain can be relieved by decoction of brown sugar and mugwort leaves. Folks also commonly use brown sugar boiled eggs to treat women's blood deficiency or irregular menstruation.
White sugar is made from brown sugar after decolorization. Because there are no impurities, the taste is much better, and the medicinal effect is still very strong. Because the medicinal properties are relatively cool, it has the effects of moistening the lungs and promoting body fluids, replenishing qi, detoxifying and inhibiting bacteria. It is often used clinically to treat dry cough without phlegm caused by insufficient lung yin, or epigastric and abdominal pain caused by spleen deficiency and insufficient Qi. Spring and autumn are windy and dry, and the lungs are delicate organs that are most susceptible to evil. At this time, drink an appropriate amount of it in drinking water. Adding white sugar can nourish yin and moisturize the lungs. Epigastric discomfort caused by eating fish and crabs can be relieved by drinking concentrated sugar water. High concentrations of sugar can change the ratio of active ingredients and water in bacterial cells, thereby inhibiting and killing bacteria. Wiping the purulent wound clean and applying sugar can prevent further infection and promote wound healing.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. No matter how good something is, eating too much is not good and is not beneficial to the body.
Because he is a chef, he naturally has a good understanding of sugar, and sugar is widely used in various cuisines. Wang Busui is also very clear about how brown sugar is converted into white sugar. In the 21st century, bone char is mainly used. Bone char is a carbon-like substance made from bones that have been degreased and degummed in isolation from the air and burned at high temperatures. , sorting and other multiple processes and finally carbonized. Thereby using bone char to turn brown sugar into white sugar.
There is also a relatively simple method, dissolve brown sugar in water, then add activated carbon, stir continuously, filter the suspension while it is hot, and finally put the colorless liquid in a bowl, evaporate and concentrate in the pot, and cool naturally. What you end up with is sugar.
Bone charcoal is pretty easy to find. Mutton is selling like hotcakes these days, but no one wants the bones. As for activated charcoal, it’s a bit difficult. The artificial material was invented by a foreigner in 1900. If this kid hadn’t traveled through time, it would still be hard to get. However, The same goes for using charcoal. Charcoal can also be turned into activated carbon. The shells of some nuts such as walnut shells and coconut shells are carbonized at high temperature to obtain charcoal. The charcoal is then treated with high-temperature water vapor to remove the oil inside, so that the charcoal It becomes activated carbon.
It is true that people who have not studied physical chemistry travel through time. If you want to get rich and become a well-off person, it is still difficult to become a master. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Busheng used these sugars in cooking, so he did more research, otherwise Wang Busheng wouldn't have done it. Will know the method. After thinking about it for most of the night, I finally sorted out what I needed. Not to mention that if you don't engage in real estate, it is very difficult to get rich through hard work with your own hands. No, Wang Busui's head hurt just thinking about it, and he couldn't sleep all night. sleep.
It is said that it only takes ninety days for a person to develop a habit, but chickens were domesticated four or five thousand years ago. A habit that has persisted for thousands of years is still very punctual. No, even if the king is not dead. Just when he was about to fall asleep, the chicken also started to work. After making a few complaints and steaming you for a while, Wang Busheng had to get up. After all, his wife is here, and the only thing she can't do is You can do it yourself.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him. Hot summer always makes people irritable, which made Wang Busui, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.
When he walked out of the door, he saw that the yard was neat and tidy, with not even a fallen leaf. Wang Bu died with a strange look on his face. Could it be that the old man got up early today. Ignore it and wash the pot to cook. The pot is also cleaned. It would be better to eat something light in the morning, so Wang Busheng planned to make some porridge and boil a few eggs. Add water, wash out the rice, add a handful of firewood, and wait for the pot to boil. It would be great if there is sugar. Putting it in the porridge also gives a different taste.
At this time, the door opened, and Leng Bingbing walked in from the door. She put on the face towel she took off yesterday again. Could it be that she was afraid of getting tanned? Nowadays, many little girls will cover themselves tightly when going out. A certain foreign ethnic group, so wearing a face scarf coldly does not look out of place.
"Sister Leng, you got up so early. What did you go out to do?" Wang Bushi asked when he saw Leng Bingbing coming back from outside.
Leng Bingbing took off her mask and said, "I went to buy some steamed buns and fried dough sticks."
In fact, if a person wants to be happy, it is very simple. Just look at the beautiful woman. After seeing Leng Bingbing's pretty face, Wang Bushi felt much better. However, after hearing that Leng Bingbing went out to buy food, Wang Bushi's heart skipped a beat. After a while, he walked up to Leng Bingbing, took the buns and fried dough sticks in her hand, looked at them, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Leng, Master has given you money to buy breakfast."
"No," Leng Bingbing said very strangely, "I have money."
"What, I paid for it myself. Sister Leng, you pay for it, I contribute, and the old man only talks. This is very unfair," Wang Bushu explained, "Besides, we are still young, and there are still many places where we need money. Be sparing."
"You mean, I'm old and have a short time to live, so it's useless to keep money, right?" A voice came from the roof.
"Well, this voice is quite familiar." Wang Bushit looked over and saw the old man standing on the roof with a cup of tea in his hand.
"Haha, Master, why are you climbing so high so early in the morning? How can you recover after falling?" Wang Busheng was still very embarrassed when his whispers were overheard, especially now that he was still living in someone else's house.
"Can't I just enjoy the scenery?" With a slight jump, Fu Jia fell from the roof without landing face first. Pointing at Wang Busui's head, the old man cursed angrily, "I know you are nothing."
"Yes, yes, master said, I am not a thing," Wang Bushu said with a thumbs up, "Master, you are a thing, and a good thing at that."
"Humph, you are so sharp-tongued. I don't know who I learned it from. Your father is not as good at speaking as you are."
"Well, Master, you know your father and me."
"Your father, uh, I don't know him, I don't know him, how could I know him?" Fu Jia turned around quickly, walked towards the pot, and asked, "Is it done?"
If the king does not die, he will no longer be entangled. Regarding his father, he is now dispensable. If the king does not die, he will not force himself.
"Let me see, let me see." Opening the pot, there were already steaming bubbles inside, and the rice grains were completely dispersed. "It's cooked, it's cooked, hurry up and get the bowl."
"I'll get it." Leng Bingbing trotted into the house and took out a bowl and a few small stools.
One bowl per person does not mean that this person only drank one bowl. Even a woman like Leng Bingbing drank a large bowl, not to mention Wang Bushit and Fu Jia, who had relatively big appetites.
The old man had a particularly good appetite today and drank five large bowls, probably to conserve energy for the work that was about to begin. Today, Wang Bushi did not perform well. After all, his wife was present and it was not good to eat too much, so he only drank three bowls, then ate five fried dough sticks and four steamed buns. Well, he was half full.
After eating and drinking, the rich man couldn't help but praise, "I found that your boy is quite suitable to be a cook."
"Haha, of course. I was a cook in my last life, and I am also very good at cooking. How about hiring me for a long time, master?" Wang Bushi stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels a month."
One tael of silver is equivalent to sixty yuan in the 21st century, which is sixty thousand a month. This salary is reasonable. If the old man is willing, Wang will not plan to start a business until he dies, which is quite tiring. It also hurts the brain and makes it easy to go bald.
"Well, I am your master, and the master is also the father. It costs me money to use you." The old man looked at Wang Busui, as if he saw a mentally retarded man, negotiating salary with his master, which was something that had never happened before.
"Well, there is another saying, Master, you are so old, why do you keep so much money? You can't spend it." Money can only reflect its value if it is spent. If it is not spent, how can we stimulate consumption and how can the country become prosperous? Wang Bushit disagreed with the rich man's reckless behavior.
"I know you are thinking about my money, why don't I keep it for burial?" the old man said angrily. It is easy to earn some hard-earned money, but you have to keep it in your pocket for a few days no matter what.
"Master, don't you know that there is a profession called Captain Mojin?"
"grave robber"
"Yes, tomb robbers, Master, think about it, how heartbroken you would be if you knew that these money was taken away by those people."
"I'm dead, my heart won't hurt."
"Uh, that makes sense. From now on, you should pay more attention to the old man's gravesite after his death, and don't take advantage of others."
"Don't mess with useless things, hurry up, I have to go to work, don't you think of a way?" The rich man put on the same clothes as yesterday. People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Let alone the old man wearing this clothes, who can He said that he was not a beggar, and the king planned to fight with him even if he died.
"any solution".
"How can you be so forgetful at such a young age? Of course it's a way of begging. Hurry up. You have to be early, otherwise you won't have a seat."
"Well, the competition is quite fierce. Master, I broke my legs."
"No, I already used it yesterday."
"What I said this time is true, once and for all,"
The rich man left with a look of resentment in his eyes. Although he liked the old professional beggar very much, he still wouldn't do anything that would hurt him. He had to rely on himself today.
