This kid started talking nonsense again recently, and Liu Deng kicked him in the butt in annoyance. Du Ziteng immediately became honest.
There are many people and they work quickly. It only took less than half an hour for those people to finish all the fish, and then they all stood there with interest and watched Liu Deng fry the fish.
While Liu Deng skillfully flipped the fish in the pot with his chopsticks, he still had time to explain to them the essentials of the action.
After all the fish were fried, Liu Deng changed the steamer.
Pour the sauce used to pickle the fish into the pot together with the seasonings, and finally put the lid back on the pot.
Then he took out a large piece of linen cloth, wetted it and placed it directly around the pot, and pressed a big stone on the lid of the pot.
I don’t know if this is useful, but in the next short time, it should be able to be used as the simplest pressure cooker!
"After the fire is boiled, the fire does not need to be too high. Simmer slowly over low heat. Be sure to keep an eye on me. There is no need to rush this! This is after the pot is boiled. Put these rice beans for me. Go in! The soup is not enough. Remember to add water. Don’t burn it. I will come back in two hours!"
"Also, every time after opening the lid, I wet the linen cloth and seal all the seams. No heat is allowed to leak out!"
There were a lot of people today, and eating fish alone felt a bit inadequate, so Liu Deng specifically pointed to the two buckets of beans placed next to him.
"promise!"
After hearing this for two hours, Du Ziteng suddenly made a sad face and responded, "There is no way anyone can make his life miserable. It seems that he doesn't need to sleep tonight."
"Put away your bitter face! If I look at you with a bitter face, be careful and I will hang it on the flagpole for you tomorrow!"
After Liu Deng walked a long way, he suddenly turned back and angrily took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and threw it at Du Ziteng.
After taking the bamboo tube, Du Ziteng was overjoyed.
On the surface it looked like a bamboo tube, but Du Ziteng knew that it contained fine wine!
This is a good thing Cai Xin specially sent to Liu Deng some time ago.
Although it is only the simplest thread process, it perfectly solves the problem of liquid leakage.
The containers they made using thread technology will never leak even if they contain fine wine.
This bamboo tube was fine, but Du Ziteng was really curious as to how the threads on it were obtained.
He has been by Liu Deng's side all year round and has already coveted this thing. But he didn't expect that tonight, his wish would be completely fulfilled.
After walking out of the kitchen, Liu Deng took a long stretch.
Now we are just waiting for the results tomorrow morning. If this thing can really work, it can be promoted and it can be regarded as finding a way out for the old, weak, women and children in Buqi County.
If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea.
In this day and age, fishermen actually don’t make much money even if they go fishing in the sea for a year.
It's not because they couldn't catch fish, it's because most of the fish they caught were miscellaneous fish.
The air at the seaside is humid, so it is actually very detrimental to the preservation of meat.
Although the fish in the sea are said to have strong vitality, they cannot survive for long after leaving the sea water.
At most, the fish they catch can only be sold in nearby counties. Even further away, the fish will already smell bad on the road before it is transported. At most, they can only sell some smoked fish and the like.
But the people in the inland are actually not interested in this thing, because there are too many fish spines.
When Liu Deng saw the earthen jar brought by Du Ziteng today, he immediately thought of the canned fish in later generations.
After the fish has been specially processed, even the fish bones can be eaten directly.
Not only is it easier to eat, but it also adds more calcium.
If canned fish and meat can be pushed out, the biggest beneficiary should actually be the army.
After all, night blindness is so common in this day and age, and many soldiers can basically see nothing at night.
Canned fish can perfectly solve this problem. It is not only low-cost, but also can be supplied for a long time.
What's more, except for fishing, the rest of the work doesn't require much physical strength at all.
Even the seven or eight-year-old children at home can operate it skillfully after simple learning.
In this case, the supply of Daiguo's army alone would be enough for these old and weak women and children to live in peace and contentment.
It's something that can achieve multiple things with one stone, so why wouldn't Liu Deng do it?
Who said that ordinary people must dig in the soil to eat?
If we can’t grow the land, we can do something else, like raising chickens, ducks, and geese. If we can’t raise these things, we can just do canning as a side job!
As time passed by, dozens of soldiers crowded in the kitchen of the inn, smelling the fragrance coming from the pot, and looked at each other in confusion.
"Let me tell you, boss, this should be familiar, how about you call me the king?"
A soldier encouraged Du Ziteng while swallowing his saliva.
"Why don't you go? Don't you know what our king's temper is like? I went to bed late last night, and I'm very angry when I wake up now. If I go over at this time, wouldn't I be looking for a beating?"
Du Ziteng glared at him angrily. This kid really thought he was a fool.
"It's almost time, open the lid!"
Now they were all excusing each other, and when no one dared to call Liu Deng, Liu Deng's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, this smells so delicious!"
Several soldiers were drooling while talking, which was really disgusting.
"Stop talking nonsense and wipe the saliva from your face for me!"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then poured the can of chicken soup he was holding into the pot.
If you don't have chicken essence, just use this thing to deal with it. At least it can improve the freshness.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Turn the fire up a little and the fire will absorb the juice!"
Liu Deng angrily kicked Du Ziteng's butt again, and then cursed.
Seeing Liu Deng put the lid on the pot again, Du Ziteng added firewood to the stove and directed the soldiers next to him to start blowing the bellows.
After struggling for three to five minutes, Liu Deng opened the pot and checked it.
He picked up a small piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then nodded with some satisfaction. It tasted like this.
Although it doesn't have much of the freshness of the fish, if it has a different taste after adding seasonings, it will definitely taste much better than the military rations eaten by the soldiers.
What's more important is that as long as this thing is put into an earthen jar and sealed properly.
It won’t break down for several months, and it’s so convenient when marching and fighting!
You don’t even need to prepare a pot in the wild. You can just heat it up on a campfire and eat it directly.
"That's almost it. Everyone, have some and tell me how it tastes!"
Liu Deng nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the soldiers.
"promise!"
These foodies who had been waiting all night finally got Liu Deng's permission and immediately started fighting for it.
At the beginning, they were all cautious for fear of eating fish bones. However, as they were eating, someone suddenly discovered that the fish was so fried that even the fish bones were already crispy. Just chew it a little. You can eat it directly...
