Chapter 13 Ancestor Appearance

The family of five, four dishes were eaten up, and the last bit of soup was wiped clean by Wang Liangjing with noodles.

I swear to God that Wang Liangjing had never eaten such delicious dishes. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were second, and food was more satisfying than warm houses.

Wang Liangjing pressed his hands on his bulging belly, and his abdominal muscles that he practiced martial arts all year round became flat. He even thought that if he ate such delicious dishes every day, it would not take long to turn into a pile of useless fat meat!

It turns out that food is like a beauties, which is bad things that can destroy the spirit of a hero. But some things are like this. Even though they know they are bad things, they can't help but want to try it. So, the food in the stomach has not been digested, and the aroma of supper has floated in again.

Wang Liangjing turned his head away, but the next second he couldn't help but turn it around.

A large pot of pumpkin porridge, a small plate of fried fish, a plate of pickles, a plate of sesame oil mixed with spinach, a combination of meat and vegetables, light and refreshing, golden porridge and green spinach, I couldn't help but move my index fingers.

Wang Liangjing drank three large bowls, burped, and put down the bowl.

"Ning'an, let alone Cangzhou, you're afraid there are few in Yingzhou!"

Bai Shi also smiled and said, "Listen to my brother and the others, only the chefs in the capital can cook - Ning'an, who did you learn from?"

"Mom, cooking is nothing great, the key is oil." Wang Ning'an used to write time travel articles. A long time ago, the ancestors of China used animal fat, lamb oil, butter, lard, and cooked food.

However, most people can't eat meat a few times a year, and the fatty meat full of fat is the favorite of ordinary people. They don't eat enough, so they are willing to make meat oil. Therefore, even if there is cooking, it is only circulated among the nobles.

Vegetable oil was only produced in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Sesame with extremely high oil content became the first choice. It was originally used for lighting or to set fire to help burn in wars. Later, it was gradually used in cooking and developed into the Song Dynasty. Sesame oil was already very common and had relatively low prices. The stir-frying went from aristocratic to a folk, becoming a delicacy that ordinary citizens could enjoy.

Of course, the current cooking is only popular in Bianjing. The chef who knows how to cook is even more self-refined. He regards it as a secret skill and cannot bear to spread it. However, it will take decades to make a fry in the world. Shen Kuo mentioned in "Mengxi Bitan": "Northern people like to use sesame oil to fry food. No matter what, they all use oil to fry."

The Song people did this, but Wang Ning'an tried it for a while and shook his head.

Sesame oil is also sesame oil, commonly known as sesame oil. This thing is a good thing to fry and stir-fry, but the sesame oil tastes too strong and will cover up the taste of the food itself. Everything tastes sesame oil, and it will definitely not feel good if you eat too much.

Moreover, sesame oil is not resistant to high temperatures and is prone to burning, and it will have a bitter taste when used in stir-frying.

With these two major disadvantages, sesame oil is destined to be the first choice for cooking.

The vegetables that Wang Ning'an used were fried with fat meat bought from Uncle Wu's house and made from meat oil. Wang Ning'an estimated that the first choice for stir-frying in Bianjing should be animal oil such as lamb oil and lard, and sesame oil is used for the worse. As for the real main vegetable oils in later generations, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and peanut oil, it is not yet popular.

Peanuts are native to America and will only spread throughout the world after the great voyage. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no need to think about it for the time being.

Soybeans are native to China, but for a long time, soybean oil has not been favored by people. When Wang Ning'an went to Uncle Wu's house to buy grain and cook cakes, he asked indirectly and asked the reason.

According to Uncle Wu, soybeans are not planted or squeezed oil, but the oil yield of soybeans is too low. One hundred kilograms of soybeans can only get five or six kilograms of oil. Compared with sesame, the oil yield rate is as high as 30% higher than that of sesame. Therefore, the people are unwilling to grow soybeans.

However, Wang Ning'an disagreed. The oil yield of soybeans is indeed lower, but it cannot withstand the high yield per mu of soybeans. He also knows a method that can increase the oil yield of the dull squeeze to about 15%.

After soybean oil is pressed, the remaining soybean cakes are the best feed, which can be fed livestock and is an excellent source of protein. Moreover, the mixing of soybeans and wheat can improve soil fertility, increase yield, and have many benefits...

Cangzhou is located in the north and is not suitable for growing rapeseed. Wang Ning'an also inquired about the yield per mu of rapeseed, and the oil squeezed has a strange smell, so there is no market in the north.

After choosing, the best choice is to grow soybeans!

Wang Ning'an spent an hour to describe a plan to make a fortune for his father and mother. At present, Wang Liangjing has 100 acres of land, all of which are planted with soybeans, and then raise dozens of pigs, feed them with bean cakes, and sell them to his own restaurant after they are fattened.

As for restaurants, using soybean oil to stir-fry dishes, it will not take long to become popular in Cangzhou.

Wang Ning'an also knew that in the Song Dynasty, because it was not allowed to kill cows at will, rich families mainly ate mutton. As for pork, it is actually very common. Unlike some people who think that pork is cheap meat, which ordinary people don't like. Haven't you seen that in "Water Margin", there are often scenes of slaughtering pigs and sheep, drinking and having fun, and pigs, cattle and sheep are both one of the three sacrifice rituals, and the ancients were not so repulsive.

Of course, because pigs eat water and grow in mud and water and feces, the literati who are obsessed with cleanliness do not like pork. But Wang Ning'an knew the solution.

As long as you give the pig a knife, the pig will no longer think about it from now on, and will keep fat and grow fat, grow fast, and will not have any taste. Moreover, the pig has too much fat than the sheep, and it will definitely be loved by ordinary people.

Hotels, soybeans, pig farming.

This is the money-making plan designed by Wang Ning'an. One by one, the oil squeezed from soybeans is supplied to the hotel, and the remaining bean cakes are fed to the pigs. After killing the pigs, they are sold to the hotels like meat, and the pig's feces can also make the fields richer.

After listening, Wang Liangjing grinned and laughed loudly, and his big hands kept patting Wang Ning'an's shoulders, making him grin.

"Good boy, my head is so good, how did you come up with it!"

This is not the first time Wang Liangjing and his wife have asked questions. The former gangster suddenly became Zhiduoxing, and anyone would doubt it.

Wang Ning'an didn't want to be suspicious by his father and mother. His eyes rolled and came up with an excellent reason.

"Dad, mom, I really didn't tell you something. That day, my second uncle beat the child in the ancestral hall. When I was about to faint, my eyes suddenly lit up and I saw an old man with white beard."

"Oh? What does it look like?" Wang Liangjing asked hurriedly.

"I was wearing black armor, holding a big knife in my hand, shining with cold light, and a bow behind me. I couldn't see clearly his facial features, but I could feel that his smile was very kind. I walked to me, clicked on my forehead, and then disappeared, and then there were a lot more things in my head for no reason!"

Wang Liangjing listened quietly, and suddenly his whole body trembled violently, as if he was caught in an evil spirit. He suddenly laughed to the sky, "The ancestors have appeared, they really have spirits!"

The father cried and laughed, like a child. Bai did not blame her husband for his loss of composure, but instead covered his face and was sad. What was the reason?

The ancestors of the Wang family were indeed military generals. They once served as the governor of Zibo, named Wang Gui. They came from Pan Mei to the north and made many military achievements. Later, together with Yang Ye, they were besieged by Khitan soldiers and horses. The veteran general killed dozens of people, used all arrows, used bows as weapons, and killed several more people, fought hard and died heroically for the country!

Yang Wudi was also captured and sacrificed in that battle. A hundred years passed, and the Yang family did not have widows as the storyteller said, but instead they were full of widows. They were one of the generals. Although they were not a top wealthy family, they should not be underestimated. In contrast, the Wang family was inferior to the previous generation. Wang Ning'an's grandfather once tried to restore the glory of the Wang family, went to the army to fight with Xixia, and died on the battlefield.

From Wang Gui to Wang Ning'an, he was already the fifth generation. The bravery of his ancestors faded away and the blood in his body cooled down. Wang Liangjing gritted his teeth and practiced martial arts and kept talking about the revival of the family business, but he didn't know what to do.

The glory of the general's sect will be completely the end of his generation!

Let the two sons study for the imperial examinations, like an ordinary family, work hard and do not fantasize about irrelevant things anymore... Wang Liangjing was almost desperate, who would have thought that his ancestors would appear!

Since I came back, I found that Wang Ning'an was different from the past. He could see through clever tricks, understand other ways of wealth, know how to cook, tell stories... Are there any other explanations besides enlightenment from ancestors?

Of course, Wang Liangjing didn't know about time travel. He jumped and jumped happily, and cried with joy.

"The great-grandfather has appeared. Follow me to the ancestral hall to kowtow to him. By the way, let's tell grandma first and make her happy!" Wang Liangjing danced.

"etc!"

Bai grabbed her husband, "You can't tell outsiders!"

"Why?" Wang Liangjing said in confusion: "Grandma is not an outsider!"

"Why isn't it!" Bai said fiercely: "The old lady is devoted to the second child. If she knew that her ancestors appeared, Ning An would have the ability to treat our son as a money tree?"

Wang Liangjing scratched his head, "If Ning An could make money, there would be nothing wrong."

Bai glared at her husband fiercely and said anxiously: "It doesn't matter if they just make some money. If they don't tell Ning'an's secrets, the yamen is not a vegetarian. You forgot that when we went to Yingzhou to see my father, the government arrested a pretender and paraded in the streets! How old is Ning'an? Are you not afraid of outsiders' ideas?"

Wang Liangjing was stunned, "What should I do?"
