Chapter 462: Sweet Potato Vermicelli(1/2)
Imperial study room
Three sealed black jars are neatly placed on the desk.
Emperor Yu, Wen Yu, Wen Longyan looked at the three jars in confusion.
He said intimately, "Are these three jars of wine? Is it the red wine in Jiang Aiqing's mouth?"
Thinking of it, he wanted to open one of the jars.
Eunuch Zhang, who was standing aside, was so scared that he shouted in fear, "Your Majesty, can't you?"
Who knows what this black jar will contain, but not any poisonous snakes, venomous insects, scorpions, or poisons. In short, no one can afford such consequences.
After Eunuch Zhang exclaimed, the emperor's hand did not stop and continued to unpack it.
Eunuch Zhang hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, let me demolish it?"
As he said that, his hand reached forward, making a gesture to snatch the jar from the emperor's hand and stop the emperor's movements.
But the emperor seemed very relieved about the things in the black pot. He said, "Eunuch Zhang, don't worry, I won't have any trouble."
As soon as he said that, the sealed black jar was taken apart.
The emperor looked in and found it was a yellowish-brown liquid. Then, he sniffed it with his nose, but it was not the smell of wine, but a clear fragrance. He had never smelled this smell before.
The emperor became even more confused.
Red wine, red wine, as the name suggests, is red wine, no matter what kind of wine it is, it should have a smell of alcohol.
But neither of the things in the jar is occupied.
He looked at Eunuch Zhang and said, "Eunuch Zhang, come and smell it. Does it smell like wine? Why can't I smell the wine? Could it be that something went wrong with my nose?"
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhang came over carefully, his nose shrank, and smelled the smell of the jar, and then said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I only smelled a clear fragrance in the jar, but did not smell a trace of alcohol."
Afterwards, he looked into the altar again and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what exactly is the thing in this altar?"
The emperor shook his head, then thought of something, and then found a letter from the table.
He couldn't wait to open the letter.
After reading the letter, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up and his expression was very vivid. Then, with excitement and excitement, he said to Eunuch Zhang, "Eunuch Zhang, carry this jar to the imperial kitchen house and let the imperial kitchen use this thing to cook. I will eat the dishes made from this thing tonight!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Eunuch Zhang was extremely surprised.
He said in panic on his face, "No, Your Majesty! Who knows what is in this jar? This thing is cooking, what if..." What if he is poisoned and poisoned?
The emperor took the letter and looked at it again and said, "Eunuch Zhang, don't worry, this is cooking oil! You can eat and cook."
Eunuch Zhang was stunned, "Oil?" What oil? Is it lard? But lard is used to cook every day?
The emperor did not explain, but said, "Eunuch Zhang, why are you doing while standing there? You haven't brought your things to the imperial kitchen!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhang respectfully and panic-like oil into the imperial kitchen house.
As for whether this oil will be eaten to death, people in the imperial kitchen will be able to identify it.
After Eunuch Zhang went down, the emperor took the letter and said quietly, "Peanut oil? Then Lin Yuelan is indeed a very smart woman."
No one of our predecessors ever thought that peanuts would produce oil, but she could even produce an oil press.
The emperor was very confused, "Lin Yuelan, who are you? Why do you seem to know everything?"
The emperor allowed Lin Yuelan to go to the exhibition because this country was still very backward compared to other countries. Many people were not covered in clothes and could not fill their stomachs. They were countless people who froze to death every year.
Therefore, he urgently wanted to change the status quo, make the people rich, the country stronger, the people rich, and the ambition to dominate the world. This is the ambition of every emperor.
He is the same.
Although he is in his sixties, his ambition to unify the world has never stopped.
Therefore, after seeing Jiang Zhennan's military talents, he focused on cultivating him, and because of Jiang Zhennan's character, he made him trust Jiang Zhennan.
Of course, those who are superior will have suspicion, especially those who have already entered the old age, who are even more suspicious.
If Lin Yuelan was her farmer and showed her own agriculture and she married Jiang Zhennan, he would not object, but if Lin Yuelan could threaten his country, then he would never be merciless.
But now, he needs a capable person like Lin Yuelan.
The black jar that Eunuch Zhang heard was oil. When he carried the things into the imperial kitchen, he immediately asked the imperial kitchen to see what oil it made of?
The imperial chef was more careful. Listening to Eunuch Zhang's words, the emperor said that this thing was oil and he had to cook with oil. He immediately led a dog over.
Mix a large piece of meat with this oil and let the dog eat it.
After about half a quarter of an hour, the dog was still full of energy and was more energetic. Just look at the dog's tongue-sniffing and nose-sniffing action, you will know that it still needs to find something just now.
The Royal Chef said, "Eunuch Zhang, it seems that this oil is not poisonous!"
For poison, dogs are more sensitive than humans.
If it is really a poisonous thing, the dog will not look for something to eat after eating it.
Eunuch Zhang asked, "Liu Yuchu, are you sure? Your Majesty said this thing is oil and can be used to cook. Can you tell what oil is this?"
The imperial chef looked carefully, sniffed, shook his head and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I don't know what oil it is. But the emperor said that this thing can be cooked, and I believe that your Majesty has a clear idea of this thing."
Otherwise, if you don’t even need to check the food, you will be sent to the imperial kitchen, which is unreasonable.
Therefore, I can only say that the origin of this thing is clear, and I know very well who sent it to me, and I will not be tampered with by anyone in the middle.
Eunuch Zhang immediately reacted as he heard the Emperor's Chef say this, but he still said with concern, "After that being said, we still have to be careful. If something happens to His Majesty, all of us must be on the ground!"
Liu Yuchu thought for a while and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I can save it."
Eunuch Zhang said righteously, "Well, that miscellaneous family will surrender!"
"Please, Eunuch Zhang!" The Royal Chef said respectfully.
After Eunuch Zhang retreated, the imperial chef ordered a eunuch and said, "Take this dog down and observe it carefully. If something is wrong, report it immediately!"
"yes!"
There is no lunch yet, and it is still several hours before dinner. During this period, you can observe this so-called oily thing well.
How to do the imperial kitchen is not to worry about the emperor at all.
Looking at the letter, a urge to go to Taoyuan Village to take a look suddenly surged in his heart.
However, after all, he is the emperor and cannot speak at will. Therefore, he must carefully consider and arrange the matter of going to Taoyuan Village.
...
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan didn't care at all about the emperor's reaction to the peanut oil.
Anyway, the peanut oil was passed through his secret guards, and they didn't care whether they were eating it or not.
However, what I didn’t expect was that because of the three jars of peanut oil, the noble emperor had the plan to go to Taoyuan Village.
Because the oil press was successfully produced and the oil was successfully squeezed out.
Therefore, Lin Yuelan immediately asked her subordinates to do the remaining peanuts.
Lin Yuelan asked the special personnel to deliver the oil to various restaurants and managers of major industries.
For subordinates, especially those who are capable of helping their subordinates, she has never been stingy to share good things with them.
Then, she asked the woodworking workshop people to make a few more oil presses!
It’s just an oil press, and when the peanut harvest season is over, I’m just too busy to use it.
In cooperation with Liu Yichen, as long as Liu Yichen receives enough peanuts, he can cooperate at any time, and the interests of both parties are.
As for how Liu Yichen arranged it, Lin Yuelan would not ask about how to get out of the squeezed peanut oil.
After the oil press was finished, Lin Yuelan thought about making a machine for making vermicelli.
Rice noodles, sweet potato noodles, potato noodles, etc. When Lin Yuelan thought of various vermicelli, she suddenly missed her very much and wanted to eat it even more.
But by chance, she saw the design and manufacturing process of a horizontal wedge oil press, which can be used as a vermicelli machine, but she had never seen it at all.
If it is just artificial vermicelli, it is very simple.
For example, sweet potato flour, mainly mash the sweet potatoes, then add water, filter, and filter the sweet potato residue, leaving behind turbid water. When these turbid liquids precipitate, sweet potato starch will form.
Pour out the water, then use fine gauze to fill the starch, hang it up and then drop the water. When it feels like there is no water at all, then turn on the gauze, mash the starch inside and take it out and burst into the sun.
After the starch is completely dried, you can beat the paste.
The so-called beating paste is mixed with a certain proportion of water in sweet potato flour. Generally, one pound of starch is mixed with 2.5 pounds to 3 pounds of cold water and put it in a basin.
Put the basin in the pot and boil it, stirring continuously, and the maturity reaches a maximum level.
After it is beaten into paste, put it in dry starch and can be mixed with 20 kilograms of starch noodles.
Finally, it is the leaking wire.
The so-called leaking silk is thickened with starch noodles, which turn into vermicelli.
Before leaking the silk, you must also check whether the powder ball is suitable.
If the leaking vermicelli is not thick or thin, it is appropriate to keep it.
If the following strips are too fast or too slow, dry or wet powder must be added.
