The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118 Playing with fire and wetting the bed

Ang Lee needs plant ash. If you are a time traveler, remember that the easiest way to make soap is to use plant ash to make lye.

Just burn the weeds and wood into ashes first, sift the plant ashes, put it into a container, add water and stir, the amount of water will be enough to cover the plant ashes. After fully mixing them, you can choose to filter or let it sit. Overnight, you can get lye.

Of course, the current lye cannot be used yet. Why? It has not been concentrated yet. The simplest way to concentrate the lye is to heat it and use the characteristics of evaporation to concentrate. Here is a simple method to judge the concentration of the lye: take a chicken feather Reach in (other feathers will do), and if the pH value of the lye reaches above 12, the chicken feathers will be dissolved.

At this time, your lye is qualified.

After making the concentrated lye, you can add the filtered oil and stir it while heating. (This process is dangerous, so please take precautions. As long as a little oil splashes on the skin, it will Your skin is finished), stir until the saponification is completed, the object in the container becomes very thick, or can be erected, it is initially completed.

The next step is to put the soap into the mold, let it cool and solidify, and wait for more than half a month before it can be used.

Remember to dry it for more than half a month, no less, because if it is less, the drying time will be too short and it will be very irritating to the skin, so it cannot be used directly to wash your face.

Piles of fires burned under the control of the old people. If these fires could kill you in modern times, they would be said to pollute the environment. Hey, our ancestors have burned fires for thousands of years. Now they are burning. It's just polluting the environment. There's no point in inflicting a crime on it.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The fire attracted the children from Lijiacun. At this time, the children were playing by the stream. Li Duoduo was among them, with his trouser legs rolled up, his chest wet by the stream, and his face covered with stream water.

After seeing this sloppy little look, Liu Xiatian shouted excitedly: "Liu Huzi, who asked you to take the little lady to play in the stream? If the little lady catches a cold, I won't tell your father when I get back." , let your father take care of you."

"I don't have a grandpa. I'm not going. We were all forced to go by the little miss!" Liu Huzi explained quickly. Knowing the conscience of heaven and earth, he would not dare to take the little miss to the creek. He was given numerous warnings at home not to take the young lady to dangerous places, and the creek was a dangerous place.

This time it was entirely the suggestion made by Ergou, a bastard. Liu Huzi tried his best to stop it, but if Li Duoduo wanted to go, he could only follow.

Now that he was said to have been brought there by himself, he was simply wronged.

"Haha. It's okay, it's okay. It's not made of mud. The children's physical fitness is actually quite good. A little stream water doesn't matter!" After saying to Liu Xiatian, Li An looked at Li Duoduo and asked with a smile: "Caught Is there any fish?”

"We caught a lot, some big and some small. There is a fire here, which is perfect for us to grill fish!" Li Duoduo looked at Li An and answered with a smile.

"Come to grill fish? Haha!" Li An showed a smile. These little guys are really good at playing. Li An suddenly thought of his childhood in the past. It was in the countryside in the 80s, and the children's entertainment methods were not as good as today. There were so many computers, TVs, and game consoles. Children of that era had to find something to play with themselves whenever they had a holiday.

One of the children secretly took a picket from home, the other secretly took some salt, and then secretly took a box of matches. Then they went to the small river outside the village together, picked up a small section of the river with fish, and blocked it with sand. They got up, leaving only a small opening, and then blocked the opening with a fence. Several people slowly drove the blocked fish from upstream down. In the end, all the small fish were isolated in a small In the water.

At that time, use a picket to pick up all the small fish at once, remove the internal organs, then pick some larger leaves under the tree, sprinkle a little salt on the fish, pick them up with the leaves, and then find firewood Light and bake slowly.After the outer leaves are charred, the small fish inside will be cooked, and then each person can enjoy the delicious food they created!

After eating, I went to block another section of the stream. I had a lot of fun and ate delicious food. In addition to small fish, there were also shrimps. The best thing was to pour a little instant noodles seasoning on it. The taste was absolutely fresh.

By the way, the most important thing to mention is grasshopper, also known as locust, also called dry shrimp.

During the summer harvest, there were more of these things. At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to eat locusts, saying that they were locust gods. In the second year of Zhenguan, the locust plague broke out. Li Shimin ate the locusts himself. He was very determined and finally let everyone eat them. There was a locust plague in Tang Dynasty. In fact, the locusts were very delicious.

Especially during the summer harvest, it happens to be the season when locusts lay eggs, and their stomachs are full of eggs. It is definitely a good delicacy in the countryside.Both adults and children like to eat it, because in that era, eating a meal of meat was still very luxurious and could only be eaten during holidays. Unlike now, where the material living conditions are so good, you can eat enough every day.

At that time, I could only think of ways to make tooth sacrifices on my own, and grasshoppers became the first choice.

Use a bamboo pole, make an iron ring in front, and sew a small gauze net on it. It is a tool for catching grasshoppers. It is similar to the net we use to catch butterflies now, except that our gauze net is not so It looks good, just green.

With the tools, another thing is to get up very early, because there is dew in the morning. At that time, the grasshoppers are also covered with dew, so they are not flexible and easy to catch. In this way, you can catch them in one morning More than a pound or even two pounds.

There was no pesticide pollution at that time, so there were many grasshoppers.

In particular, there is a kind of grasshopper that is locally called "Tengdaishan". Just by looking at the name, you can guess that it must be very big. Four grasshoppers can weigh one or two. They are green and have two powerful hind legs, so the name is derived from it. Come.

After returning home, I drowned it in water, cut off the wings, fried it, sprinkled some salt on it, it was very fragrant and definitely tasted much better than meat!

Li An is a good player. He stopped slightly when he recalled this. At this time, Li An smiled slightly and looked at his daughter and the children in Lijia Village eager to try. In order to give the children an unforgettable childhood, Li An smiled and said: "Then let's grill it. However, grilled fish still needs some salt to taste good. Who is going to get the salt?"

"I'll go, I'll go!" Seeing Li An agree, the children all rushed to get the salt.

Li An laughed loudly, as if he had returned to his own era. The children were so carefree. After a while, the little fish were strung up one by one with branches and left there. The fire was burning. It was summer and the fire was very hot, but none of the children wanted to stay away from the fire, not even Li Duoduo.

At this scene, Li An laughed and shouted: "You all, please pay attention. Those who are playing with fire today should not wet the bed when they go home."

Li An's words surprised the children, and Li An laughed out loud when he saw the children's surprised expressions.
