The seemingly unremarkable food of the pot helmet actually became a magic weapon for the Great Qin army to defeat the enemy. I am afraid that the people who invented it did not expect that this ancient compressed biscuits is extremely important for improving the combat capabilities of the Qin army and reducing logistics pressure. High effect.

The reason why the pot helmet has a long shelf life is suitable for long-term storage and carrying. This is inseparable from the materials and manufacturing methods of the pot helmet. The method of making the pot helmet is very particular. You need to use good wheat flour, stir with water, and form a dough. After fermentation, use a rolling pin to roll it into a large round cake, place it in a large flat iron pan, slowly burn it with a simmer, kang dry water, the skin is slightly brown and dry and fragrant, the helmet is put on the hot summer even for 10-15 days It will not be moldy and spoiled. It is very suitable for long-distance combat edible. It is a very large compressed biscuit, a compressed biscuit that can be used as a shield.

When I think of a thick big shield hanging on the front chest and back, Li An feels that such a soldier is more difficult to be shot. The two large pot helmets on the front and back can protect the most important parts of the soldier. .

This is also the Story of the Qin Dynasty. In the Great Tang era, there are also stories about pots and helmets. According to legend, the tomb of Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty was originally selected as the 20 peak mountain of 5 5 kilometers northeast of Zhonggan County. Later, because of the fengshui ominous point, he was re-elected on Liangshan, 3 kilometers north of Qianxian city.

Liangshan has a beautiful scenery and was the place where Qin Shihuang and Sui Wendi toured. It is located 80 kilometers northwest of Chang’an in Kyoto. It is a dry place in the 8 hexagrams, so the tomb is called Qianling. The construction of Qianling was vast, and 10000 craftsmen and migrant workers were requisitioned. At that time, there was a young man named Dongwa, who lost his mother since childhood and was dependent on father 2. He was naturally intelligent, hardworking and simple, and was praised by his neighbors. Unexpectedly, the father was lying in bed because of illness. In addition to going up the mountains to make firewood, Dongwa returned home and cooked the cooking for the father. After doing so for a long time, he learned the skill of cooking by himself.

When requisitioning migrant workers in the construction of Qianling, he went to work for father. Due to the large number of people, he was struggling to survive, and his meals were often unable to be eaten on time. One day, he was so hungry that he could n’t hold it. He quietly dug a dirt den on the side of the road, put on his helmet, put his face and evenly in the helmet, and burned firewood under the helmet. After a while, he took out the steamed bun from the helmet and tasted it crispy and delicious. He was so happy that he told his companions about this method and asked everyone to use an iron pan for ironing. As a result, they ate crispy, smelled fragrant, and passed 100 to 1 to form this unique steamed bun.

Since then, the fragrance on the construction site has been filled. After the director tasted this unusually sweet bun, it felt good, and he sent someone to Chang’an in Beijing. Therefore, the steamed buns are different. Later, the Tang dynasty would pay tribute to the tribute pot and steamed buns every year. This method of steaming buns gradually spread to the people. Due to the continuous improvement of the production methods of the working people of the past, the quality of the steamed buns is getting better and better, and there are many styles. The tourism industry in the later generations was quite developed. Qianling attracted many tourists from all over the world. They always loved Ganxian’s specialty steamed buns and steamed buns.

However, the credibility of this Story is not high. How can a peasant worker who repairs Qianling have an iron helmet. In the Great Tang era when the iron is very precious, it is unlikely that ordinary peasant workers who repaired the tomb have an iron helmet. Ancient The control of armor and helmets is very strict. Where can the migrant workers have iron helmets, even if they are soldiers ’helmets, there are many rattan and leather, iron helmets are not enough, and fire helmets, then There is a suspicion of damaging the helmet. Once the damage is really caused, it must be punished.

This is just a story that is circulated, not at all is too high authenticity, anyway Li An does not believe it, think it is fabricated.

For Shuzhong, there are also legends about pot helmets. According to legend, during the period of the Han and Han Dynasties, Zhuge Kongming of the Western Shu Cheng sent troops to the south and waited for the North Expedition. Placed in the helmet, fire wood under the helmet, a small amount, the inside of the helmet is already a cake, called the pot helmet. Later, Bao Yuanheng, a descendant of Baogong, entered the Sichuan with the army, and he used the helmet technique in the army. For a long time, I saw that the pot-shaped helmet was thick and round. Although it was hungry and hungry, but the taste was lacking, it was not crispy, I thought hard for a long time.

Armed Forces of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Kingdom in an emergency, it is also possible to use pancakes with iron helmets. However, Li An still feels that the probability of the fiction is higher. There are professional gangs in the march to fight. Why use a helmet! In ancient times, iron helmets were scarce, and the quality was relatively ordinary. Isn’t it afraid of being burned? How to guarantee the hygiene problems? These all are problems.

In the process of waiting in line, Li An also roughly saw the production process of the pan helmet. First of all, the dough was naturally fermented, and then the fermented dough was taken out, exhausted and kneaded, the dough was divided into 2 parts, and each part was kneaded. Evenly, roll each portion into thin slices and coat with oil. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of pepper, and 3 teaspoons of cumin powder, spread evenly from bottom to top, roll up tightly, rub a little long, roll up the plate, and tuck the end into the bottom.

Then roll it thinly, sprinkle with a spoonful of sesame seeds, roll it with a rolling pin a few more times, roll it into a green shape, cover the 2 pre-made green helmets with the lid and ferment for a while, and gently put in the twice-produced helmet Green, slowly burn on low heat, iron one side, turn it over gently, and turn it into two golden sides. The ironed helmet can be put into a flat pan for guests to choose from. Of course, in short supply period, There is no choice. Basically, it is just bought after the plate is put in, and the guests need to queue.

In fact, there are quite a few small shops that make pots and helmets in Yizhou City, but the same food, after being made by different people, will have a little difference in taste. The taste is very good. The more authentic shops need to line up. For small shops with poor taste, the business is very general.

Li An naturally wants to taste the most authentic pot and helmet, so I ran in line specially, even if I waited for a while, it was worth it.

After waiting for a while, it was finally Li An’s turn. Because it was difficult to queue up, I bought 4 at a stretch. This made the queues behind to have a little bit of complaint. Generally, queues to buy pot helmets are one or two. 2 are few.

Li An ignored the dissatisfaction of the people behind him and took one of his own. The rest was distributed to Chen Long and the others, and he randomly broke a small piece and tasted it in his mouth.

“Well, the taste is authentic, not bad, is it delicious?”

After Li An tasted it, he said very satisfied.

The small pot helmet, the materials and craftsmanship are very simple, but it can have such a taste, it is really very good, so Li An is quite satisfied.

“The nobles are from other places! This is our famous Baoji pot helmet in Shu. There are many kinds of pot helmets in Shu?”

A passing 100 surname said.

“Oh, there are more pot helmets, can you tell me?”

Li An curiously asked.

The 100 surname explained many kinds of pan helmets in one go, including the public security pan helmets. This so-called public security pan helmet is naturally the pan helmet produced in this area of ​​the public security. It is not difficult to make the industry. The preparation materials are simpler and only need one oil Remove the lid, use fire-resistant mud to make a big, small mouth, and then add a chopping board, which can be opened.

There are generally 2 people who make public security pots and helmets. One person is called the white case. He is responsible for kneading the noodles on the chopping board. He keeps rubbing the fermented noodles in his hands until he feels satisfied. Then he puts on the side and wakes up. The other can be called the red case. According to the customer’s needs, add sugar for sweetness, salt for salty, and even add chili peppers. The oil is heavy and light. Sometimes, it is in the shape of a begonia leaf, sometimes in the shape of a shoe sole, and finally a metal box is shaken. The bottom of the box is cut into a sieve-shaped hole. The box is filled with sesame seeds. 3 Two minutes to complete, the Red Case Master quickly pasted the pasta into the furnace.

At this time, people only noticed that there was still a pot of fire, or charcoal, or anthracite in the furnace, which was the only energy for roasting pots and helmets. It was about 3 two minutes. Master used a special pliers. Gently remove the pot helmet that has nearly doubled in volume from the furnace and hand it directly to the diners standing aside.

At this time, the pan helmet was tender and soft on the outside, and it seemed to be a bit hot when holding it, but it felt very good when eating. It seemed to be unconsciously. The dough that was just on the chopping board just disappeared. If it did not stay in the corner of the mouth With a lingering aftertaste, people even want to find where the pot helmet they just took is.

Eat pan and helmet, don’t need tools to help, whether it’s chopsticks or spoons, 2 don’t need dishes to accompany meals, whether it is pickles or fresh vegetables, 3 don’t need tables and chairs, pan and helmet are suitable for standing or walking, some people need a bowl of tofu brain to eat sesame It is said that if you can’t swallow dry, you have to have a bowl of soup to eat dumplings. The reason is that the original soup melts the original food. The only thing with this pot and helmet is that you don’t seem to be so particular about it. A pot helmet is only a few penny, no matter the form or price, the pot helmet is an uncompromising mass food.

It is strange that even in the local public security, the small shops of a few grades do not have seats for pots and helmets. To eat pots and helmets, one must go to the end of a rough street and walk through the streets in Gong’an County. Compared with snacks in other places, no one here claims that his pot and helmet belong to any school. Whether they asked the gray-haired old man or the young man of full of vigor, they all smiled lightly, didn’t they just make pots and helmets?

In the countryside, even a general carpenter has a cumbersome ceremony that is almost religious. The only thing is to make a pot and helmet, you can do it, and you ca n’t do it. Stand by and watch. See more, try again do. If you do poorly, you fill your stomach until you are satisfied with it.

There are folk sayings, church discipline, starve to death Master, do not seem to pay attention to master and disciple. The streets are full of pots and helmets, no one has anything to do with anyone. It is said that walking on the streets of the public security, seeing the people who eat pots and helmets include young men and women, old men, some people on the road, some sleepy village women I feel that a kind of popular food, without hype, can be distinguished from the north and the south, from the old to the young, from the old and the young. , Is a very popular snack variety.

“Is the brother a public security person? Actually so familiar with public security pot helmets?”

Li An asked.

The 100 surname shook his head and said: “No, no, I am a businessman. I have traveled to many places from south to north, but I have only been to the public security, and I have eaten many public security helmets there.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is, what other helmets does the brother know?”

Li An asked.

The 100 surname said a dozen kinds of pot helmets in one breath, such as Bozhou pot helmets. This kind of pot helmet is comparable to the big pot helmets in Guanzhong. It is also a very large pot helmet. The unique food originated from the grandma’s gift to grandson He Miyue, and later developed into a flavored convenience food. This kind of pot helmet is round in shape, about one chi in diameter, one inch thick, and weighs 5 pounds. It’s hard, so it’s named the pot and helmet, also called the strong steamed bun, because it is extremely hungry, and a big pot and a slap can reach 2 big buns.

It is made by repeatedly kneading large pieces of dough to make a round cake with a large basin, about one inch thick, one foot to 2 feet in diameter, a layer of sesame is stuck on the surface, and it is placed on the pan and dried on the kang. After it is finished, the outside is crisp and the inside is soft, the color is golden, and the food is fragrant. Some experts can also make some patterns on the surface of the pot helmet.

The most important thing to make this kind of pot helmet is to slowly plate and knead the noodles after mixing, to fully knead the dough, the taste of the cake is good, the pot helmet looks hard, and it is tough enough to eat, most Everyone thinks it is made with dead noodles, but it is not the case. You must mix the fermented noodles with flour together with the noodles. Otherwise, the noodles will taste like stones, and the pan helmet will not be added when making it. The slightest amount of oil and materials are absolutely light food. Many people will eat Bozhou pots and helmets after drinking and feel very refreshing.

Li An really did not expect that there are so many varieties of small pots and helmets, which are blooming in almost 4 places all over the country. However, due to the differences in technology and regional tastes, the pots and helmets in different regions will have different flavors and different sizes. Very large, some are crisp, some are soft, some are very hard, and the shape is not all round, and there are elongated pot helmets, which look nothing like pots.

In short, there are too many types of pot helmets. I am afraid that a person may not eat all the pot helmets all his life, and it is very good to taste the most famous and authentic pot helmets.
