Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 95
After being cooked, the Hele noodles are flexible and strong, with a meaty aroma and a mellow soup, which has a special flavor.

The cold wind is raging, it is a kind of enjoyment to find a Hele shop, eat a steaming bowl of Hele, and drink a sip of delicious soup.

Lu Jinyao proposed to eat Hele, and said casually: "However, Hele is not as good as Chaotianguo for keeping warm and cold, and the taste of soup is not as good as Chaotianguo."

"Jin Yao, what is Chaotianguo?" Lian Susu asked suspiciously.

Lu Bingwen also had a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Jinyao's face was suddenly covered with black lines: I'll go, co-authoring this era, there is no Chaotianguo?

She hastily babbled: "Ah, I saw this kind of food in a travel book once, and the author of that travel book wrote it like this, so I just said it."

"That's it."

No one asked anymore, the Lu family was used to the eldest daughter's surprise words from time to time, and Lu Bingwen was still curious about what kind of travel journal it was, with so many unheard of things written on it.

Lu Jinyao let out a sigh of relief, and walked on the road, kicking the small snow lumps on the side of the road with her shoes, but her mind turned.

In her previous life, Chaotianguo was also a famous dish of the Han nationality in Weifang, Shandong Province. It belongs to Shandong cuisine. , the meat is fat but not greasy, the soup is light but not turbid, and it is eaten with pancake rolls, and its taste is endless.

This kind of food is similar to traditional Chinese food like Beijing's Guoshaobing (that is, offal stewed with fire), Xi'an's gourd head (that is, offal stewed cake), and Changsha's Fire Palace (that is, offal soup with pepper).

It's just that Lu Jinyao forgot that Chaotianguo originated in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In this era without the Qing Dynasty, many things would not appear.

Chaotianguo originated from Daji in Weixian County.The Weixian Daji is the largest in Shandong, and it is said to have "a hundred thousand people". If there are too many people to eat, it becomes a problem, and Chaotianguo came into being.

Chaotianguo uses chicken and donkey meat to simmer soup, mainly boiled pig offal, including pig head, liver, lung, heart, belly, and intestines. The pig intestines should not be broken and must be turned over for cleaning.

Intestines, mouth strips, and pork head meat should be rinsed with boiling water first, and then boiled in an old soup pot. The heat should be controlled just right.After the pigs are cooked, take them out and cut them up for later use. After the noodle cakes are rolled out and baked, they are also put into the mao tunzi for later use.

The small ingredients for Chaotianguo are also very particular. The scallions need to be cut into small pieces of the same length. Wait for the little stuff.

Diners use the pot table as a table, sit around the pot, eat meat rolls (all kinds of meat), meatballs, eggs, and drink soup with wooden spoons, served with lump pickles and scallions.

Due to the strong participation of diners when dining, and the low price, the meat is fat but not greasy, rich in nutrition, and delicious, so it is deeply loved by the local people.

After Lu Jinyao learned that there is no such thing as a hot pot in this world, she immediately had a new idea for making money.

She thought to herself: In the novels I read before, those traversers invented glass, developed guns, and built tall buildings and mansions. Bring food to this era, and open various shops, which can both make money and promote.

I don't need to write "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin", I will write all the practical knowledge I have learned in my previous life, such as economics, marketing, management, and accounting, into a book, which can promote the economic development of the country.

In Lu Jinyao's previous life, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the country was closed and self-important, and the country lost the opportunity to communicate with the world, resulting in falling behind and being beaten.

Modern history is a history of humiliation and struggle.

In this world now, the people in power of the Apocalypse Dynasty did not enforce the sea ban. Lu Jinyao knew from travel notes and various sources that Japan has not yet reached the period of the Meiji Restoration, and Japanese pirates are still burning, killing and looting along the coast.

Shandong is the closest to Japan, so it naturally receives the most harassment.

In the world, Britain, France and Germany are still at the far end of the continent, and they don't know what they are doing.

Lu Jinyao knew that if the country is not rich and strong, sooner or later it will fall behind and be beaten.She has no ambitions, but she also wants to contribute to the country through her own efforts.

Although the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful now, but there are wars in the north and south borders, and the Apocalypse Dynasty is a powerful country in the world, but now that Lu Jinyao has come here, he has to plan for the long term.

After all, the current era is too close to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Maybe the First World War will break out one day, or Li Zicheng's uprising will destroy the Apocalypse Dynasty, and then the Qing army will enter the customs and establish the Great Qing Dynasty.

Whenever the world is in chaos, the unlucky ones are the common people.

"At the very least, you have to prepare enough money and belongings. If the world is really chaotic, you can go to an uninhabited island to enjoy yourself. You can't be foolish and think that the world is peaceful. Who knows what the direction of history will look like. " Lu Jinyao muttered in a low voice.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" The family was already sitting in the Hele shop, and Lu Yinling was sitting next to Lu Jinyao, asking strangely.

"It's nothing. I mean, I don't know if the acetic acid in this store is sour. I will add more vinegar soup later to make it taste better."

"I don't know who Jin Yao followed, but she is so jealous." Lian Susu laughed.

"Mom, I like this kind of jealousy, not that kind of vinegar." Lu Jinyao puffed up her mouth.

The whole family laughed, looking extremely harmonious and warm. Lu Jinyao enjoyed such happiness very much, and hoped that such happiness could continue forever.

Soon, the steaming Hele was served, and the family picked up chopsticks, picked up a noodle as thick as half a finger, blew hot air first, and then put it in their mouths.

After eating this meal, everyone's faces and heads were sweaty, and their faces were flushed.

Taking advantage of the heat, the family went to the street to buy things again.

The target this time is the condiment shop.

During the Chinese New Year, many dishes are prepared to entertain guests, and the condiments are indispensable.

One cannot be without salt for a day. Salt comes from endless sea water, so it should cost nothing. However, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, those in power knew how to use salt as a tool for profiteering.There have been regulations on salt in all dynasties in China. On the one hand, it is to let the common people have salt to eat, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of windfall tax for the government.

The Apocalypse Dynasty also strictly restricted the sale of salt. Once the sale of illegal salt was discovered, it would be a crime of losing one's head.

If it was in the past, the poor family could not afford salt. If they wanted to eat salt, they would buy some coarse salt and eat frugally for a few months.If you can eat fine salt during the New Year, it will be a prosperous New Year.

This year, the family can finally eat fine official salt all year round.

Lu Jinyao used to make medicated meals every day, which consumed a lot of condiments. She thought that after the Chinese New Year this year, she would have to continue making medicated meals after the beginning of spring, so she just took this opportunity to prepare more condiments.
