Chapter 1028: Solar Barbecue
Li An went out to prepare quite completely, not only brought all kinds of hunting equipment and basic food, as well as cooking utensils, and even brought a few folding stools, although this folding stool is relatively simple, but it is still very comfortable to sit on, after all, ordinary stools are hard planes, and the top of the folding stool is soft cloth, which will naturally make people more comfortable.
The general folding stool is made of wood, which is more in line with the characteristics of this era, after all, the price of iron is still too expensive, wood is cheaper, woodwork is more, it is easier to make wooden folding stools, and it is simpler, and it is more troublesome to manufacture iron folding stools.
But the iron folding stool also has an advantage that the wooden folding stool can not be compared, that is, it is more sturdy, but also more compact, the same thickness, the bearing capacity of iron is naturally far better than wood, so, in order to support the weight of the human body, the wooden folding stool must be made relatively stout, and the iron folding stool only needs to be very thin.
The three folding stools carried by Li An are all iron, and they are in the shape of a round tube, which is very light in the hand, after folding, the three are stacked together, and they hardly take up any space, they are artifacts that they carry out, and the people of Datang have already started to use them, but Li Yu and a few people did not carry stools, maybe they didn't plan to make stools!
Li An opened a stool and sat on it to rest, while the guards beside him could only take turns sitting on stones or broken branches.
Not far from the side is a clear stream, several soldiers who are responsible for dealing with yellow sheep and hares, when dealing with them, frowned, they have not hunted, naturally know the state of the prey after the arrow, but the prey brought back by Li An is obviously not in line with the state after the middle arrow.
"Why is this yellow sheep's wound so deep? It's so weird that it's rotten in it! ”
"The rabbits over here too, all shot through."
"Li Shilang has a lot of strength, it is normal to shoot deeper, and break the flesh bigger, what's strange."
"It's like, when I was in the clouds, I used to hunt, and I often shot rabbits through, so there's nothing strange about it, so let's get to work! We must have a share in making so much meat today, Li Shilang's craftsmanship, you are not unclear. ”
Several of the guards who handled the prey began to chat.
Handling prey takes time, and while these guards are good at it, it takes a moment to deal with it.
"Li Shilang, it's all taken care of."
The guards stepped forward to report.
Ang Lee stood up, looked at the yellow sheep and hare that had been cleaned, and then looked into the distance.
"The time has come, King Guangping, they should come back, you hurry up and look for it."
Li An is not in a hurry to cook, if Li Yu and they can't come back in time, then they will still eat a fart!
Li Yu's guards, hearing Li An say this, dared to slack off, and directly dispatched half of the men and horses to find the three of them.
"Li Shilang, this forest has always been safe, there will be no danger, King Guangping and they will definitely be fine, it is estimated that they didn't hit the prey, so I don't want to come back too early."
One of the guards analyzed.
Li An smiled: "The hero sees the same thing, it must be like this." ”
It didn't take long for Li Yu and the three of them to come back on horseback, surrounded by a group of guards.
From a long distance, you can see that their horses are empty, and there is no prey, so they can be regarded as returning empty-handed.
"Li Shilang is so powerful! In less than half an hour, we beat five hares and two yellow sheep, but the three of us found nothing, which is a big difference! ”
As soon as Li Yu returned, he praised Li An.
"It's not easy to hit the yellow sheep, I heard that the yellow sheep live in the north of the Great Wall, and it is rare to see the yellow sheep near Chang'an City, and the yellow sheep runs very fast, and it is not so easy to kill."
"Li Shilang's ability, we can be regarded as knowledgeable, it is really not comparable to us."
Li Qiao and Li Jun also opened his mouth to praise Li An.
Li An was naturally very happy, smiled, and said: "It's just ordinary, don't talk about this, let's still cook!" The king of Guangping has seen my cooking skills, but the king of Jinan and the king of Yidu are still unclear, and you also have a good mouth today. ”
"Qiao'er, Jun'er, Li Shilang's ability to cook is no worse than hunting, and the food he makes is even better than the food made by the imperial chef? You should have a taste. ”
Li Yu said.
Li An opened his mouth and ordered: "Cut a lamb hind leg, and two hares, and the rest of the mutton, you roast and eat it yourself, and you will grill it according to the method I taught you." ”
"Yes, Li Shilang."
When the guards heard the news, they were overjoyed, their level was slightly inferior, but the yellow sheep itself was delicious, and a little condiment barbecue was a mouth-watering delicacy.
"You guys pack this."
Li An pointed to the equipment placed on the ground and spoke.
In fact, this equipment is a solar barbecue, which is a very energy-saving equipment, the manufacturing cost is not high, and it can make food very efficiently.
Its structure is very simple, mainly a bracket, a glass tube, a reflector, and a lining for food.
For Ang Lee, it is very simple to manufacture such a device, and it almost does not require too much energy and thinking, and the equipment can be easily manufactured, but Ang Lee concealed the manufacturing cost of glass, making outsiders think that the glass tube seems to be very valuable, but it is actually not worth at all.
The biggest difference between this solar barbecue grill and the ordinary round solar cooker is that the efficiency of use is higher, after all, the solar cooker is a platform in the open air, when it is hot, it is easy to cook, but it is difficult to have an effect in the cold winter, because the heating heat will soon be cooled by the cold air, resulting in the dilemma that the food is not cooked, even if it is used to bake water, the water cannot be boiled, the lower the ambient temperature, the lower the temperature that the water can burn.
But the solar barbecue is different, the principle of the solar barbecue is also to focus the solar energy on a small surface, so that the heat of this surface is greatly increased, but compared with the ordinary solar stove, there is one more glass tube that can keep warm, so as to create a relatively insulated sealing environment, the temperature of this closed environment increases relatively quickly, and the loss is relatively small, so that the internal temperature will be higher and higher, and then the food placed inside is cooked.
Because it uses the energy of the sun to make food, it is a very energy-saving way to make food, and it is a good way to make food from all angles.
For example, from a health point of view, the use of solar grills is the healthiest of all barbecue methods, because the traditional coal barbecue will produce a lot of fumes and chemical emissions, and there will be burnt substances, which will bring great harm to people's bodies, for example, someone once said that eating a charcoal barbecue chicken leg is equivalent to smoking 60 cigarettes, which shows its toxicity.
There is no need to worry so much about using a solar oven, because the solar oven does not use charcoal, and the whole process of production is in a clean glass tube, and the utensils designed by Ang Lee to hold food inside are polished metal, although it is not completely stainless to the extent, but the corrosion resistance is also very good.
When making food, you only need to gently pull out the inner tank and put the food into the inner tank, which can be made, isolated from the external environment, there will be no fumes and chemical emissions, and there will be no open flame and no burnt substance in the process of roasting, so that people can enjoy the food while experiencing a healthy life.
According to later scientific proofs, when grilling food with an open flame, various bad chemical reactions will occur, producing various flavors, and with the emission of these fragrances, the vitamins, proteins, and amino acids inside the food will be seriously damaged, and the use of solar energy for barbecue will not produce these problems, and there will be no loss of food nutrients due to chemical reactions, and it will make the food more nutritious and delicious.
Safety issues are also a huge advantage of solar ovens, when the food is put in, you can do your own thing as you like, just after the roasting time is enough, take out the food and eat, do not have to stand in front of the charcoal fire all the time, endure the hard work of the fire, and there is no concern about fire and electric shock.
The most important point of the solar barbecue box is energy saving, which will not consume energy at all, which greatly reduces fuel expenditure.
There is also more flexibility, when roasting food, you can choose the combination of food independently, make ever-changing delicacies, do not have to worry about the roast field does not have special ingredients and utensils, you can process melons and fruits, cook, and make soup.
When Li An set up the solar barbecue grill, Li Yu came over curiously, because he didn't know what this was for, so Li Yu didn't dare to move, for fear of breaking it.
"Come on, bring the condiments such as green onions, ginger and garlic, and a small table."
Ang Lee continued to order.
The condiments are all brought, including the most basic condiments such as onions, ginger and garlic, as well as processed products such as sweet oil and vinegar, as well as chili oil and sauce, etc., as for the small table, it is a necessary operating table for making food, and it is also a folding type designed by Ang Lee.
"Li Shilang is well prepared! Everything. ”
Li Yu said.
"Brother Wang knew that Li Shilang would prepare these, so he told us before we went out, so that we didn't have to prepare anything, just bring a mouth."
"I don't understand how to cook this!"
Li Qiao and Li Jun spoke.
While preparing the materials on the table, Li An opened his mouth and introduced: "The three of you are optimistic, this new guy is a solar barbecue grill, the function is much better than firewood barbecue, and it is not choking, the speed of barbecue depends on whether the sun is strong enough, fortunately, the sun is good today, it should be a good barbecue, let's make barbecue now!" ”
Li An said, arranging the six pieces of cut lamb leg meat neatly, then turned around and gently pulled the inner lining of the barbecue grill, revealing the metal barbecue table.
"Barbecue is easy to bake meat, so you should add some oil to it first, so that there will be no burnt paste when you barbecue, and after you have oil, the barbecue will be more delicious, look at it! As long as you put these lambs in it, add condiments and grill for a while, it will be fragrant. ”
While opening his mouth, Ang Lee brushed the oil, put six slices of cut mutton into it evenly, sprinkled onions, ginger and garlic condiments on top of the beef, and brushed a little chili sauce, and then pushed the food into the glass tube, and then adjusted the best angle to allow more people to focus into the glass tube.
"Alright, let's just wait."
Ang Lee washed his hands with clean water and asked the guards who blocked the light to stand next to him, if the light was blocked, the solar barbecue would not be used at all.
At this time, several guards were also busy grilling the remaining yellow sheep, they had already lit the bonfire, and the wooden shelves on both sides had already been made, and after the yellow sheep was dressed, they began to roll over the barbecue.
This barbecue method is very primitive, but also very simple and convenient, most people like to use this barbecue method when camping, it is also a more realistic way, because all the materials can be obtained from the woods, no additional materials are needed, only need to light the fire, add some condiments when grilling, if there are no condiments, it is just a little worse taste.
Although it is winter, the fire of the bonfire is very large, so the progress of the barbecue is also very fast, not long after the roasting, there is already a preliminary meat aroma, which makes the guards around are very happy, although such a little mutton is still too little, evenly distributed to the hands of each guard, not even a catty, is not enough to fill their appetite, but when they set off, they all brought dry food, most of the meat with dry food to eat, the effect is still very good, in this way, when eating dry food, it is more delicious.
Li Yu and the three of them often eat bonfire barbecue, which is not uncommon for a long time, naturally they will not lean over to smell the smoke, they are naturally interested in the solar barbecue grill carried by Li An, and they have been standing next to it and observing carefully, wanting to figure out what is going on with this solar barbecue grill, whether it can really have a good effect.
The glass tube is transparent, and you can see the situation inside, and because when it is first heated, the metal lining is cold, so the heating speed is a little slow, which is not as good as the yellow mutton grilled over an open flame.
But as the temperature inside the glass tube gets higher and higher, the effect comes out immediately, and the heat inside heats the mutton, so that the moisture in the mutton evaporates out, so that the entire glass tube is filled with heat, making it impossible to see what is going on inside.
