In everyone's exclamations, Li Dongsheng put the dough into the pot to steam. There is no steamer, just a bamboo fence in a large iron pot to separate water from steamed buns.

At this time, it is necessary to explain that the Chinese have a history of 5,000 years of steaming, and it is said that the technology of fermentation has been fully mastered during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. But some people make noodles well, and some people will be sour after a long time, but they don't know how to neutralize with alkali, and the noodles are expensive, so they can't waste food, so they eat it hard, and many people think it's the taste.

We also have very early records of alkali in ancient times, and the natural mineral alkali used in ancient times mainly came from alkali lakes and solid alkali ores. Inner Mongolia has the most alkali lakes, and Qinghai Lake has long had a saying that alkali is fished in winter.

Everyone was talking and laughing at the kitchen door, and after waiting for a while, the cauldron was steaming.

Li Dongsheng hurried to the stove. When I lifted the lid, I saw that the water vapor in the pot was suddenly rising, and there were more than a dozen steamed buns lined up neatly on the bamboo fence where the steamed buns were placed.

Yang Qiang was a little embarrassed, the chef's skills were not good, and the guests had to do it themselves. Hurriedly grabbed it, helped pick up the steamed buns, everyone stretched out their heads to take a look, the steamed buns looked a lot better, and they squatted there like rabbits in vain. Li Dongsheng picked up the steamed bun first and took a bite, and it really became much white, tender and soft, and a little sweet, it was so delicious!

Yang Qiang and the people around him also reached out and took one, the steamed bun that had just come out of the pot was hot, and several people were hot and poured the steamed bun back and forth in their hands, and after taking a bite, they were reluctant to put it down.

Xiao Ju also held a steamed bun in her hand, looking at her young master, feeling that she didn't know him anymore. I used to be a child who played with me, but in the last few months, I have changed too much, not only can I chant poetry, but also make toothbrushes, I can also make toilets, and I can also cook all kinds of food, if it weren't for the fact that my face hasn't changed, my voice hasn't changed, and I feel like a different person.

The little kid kept shouting, "I'm going to eat too, I'm going to eat too, you promised me." Li Dongsheng looked at where he was jumping, and smiled and snatched a steamed bun from Xue Li's hand and gave it to him. The little kid didn't care about the hot steamed buns, and devoured them, humming while eating: "It's delicious, you didn't lie to anyone." ”

A pot of steamed buns with meat is served, and this is lunch. The steamed buns were quickly snatched up, and everyone was still unsatisfied after eating, and the cook saw that everyone was looking at him with fierce eyes, and he was also very clever: "Li Gongzi, please give me some guidance on how to do it." ”

Li Dongsheng didn't hide his secrets, so he instructed him how to make noodles, how to look at the heat of the noodles, how to apply alkali, how to knead the noodles, and the people watching from the side also learned it.

After eating, everyone walked around the village with a bulging stomach, and by the way, they ate and ate by the way.

Walking around the village, to the surrounding mountains, following the mountain road to the mountain, I saw the village below, the village was in a valley, on both sides were majestic mountain beams, in the middle was a river, the water was very fast, the river was rushing downstream, flowing into the canal at the edge of the field.

A house facing north and south on the opposite slope is the house of Yang Qiang's family, Li Dongsheng is carefully looking at the environment, admiring the beautiful scenery around, and heard someone calling: "Young master, why are you here, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." ”

Li Dongsheng raised his head, looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a figure coming straight towards him. As he walked, he said: "The sun in the mountains is very poisonous, so the young master is still a few steps faster, and hurriedly entered Zhuangzi to find a place to cool off." ”

When he got closer, Li Dongsheng realized that the person who called him turned out to be a big bull. This surprise really came suddenly, since the big cow snatched away the title of inventing the toilet, I can't see anyone every day, according to my father, the big cow is also a celebrity in the county, and he can do any job in the toilet project. Li Dongsheng himself hasn't seen him for a long time, but he actually saw him here.

Da Niu is more than 20 years old, and his face is estimated to be working outside every day, all of which are dark and black, and his body has become strong, and he is rough. A pair of eyes have also become clear and bright, showing a shrewdness that does not match the appearance, and it seems that the big cow has also been exercised.

Li Dongsheng walked forward with a smile, punched Da Niu on the shoulder, and scolded: "Now that the business is getting bigger, you won't come to see me." ”

Da Niu Han smiled: "The young master is laughing at me again, the main reason is that he is too busy, the demand for the toilet is too great, and I organized six construction teams, but it is still not enough." As he spoke, he raised his head high, and his expression was full of pride! The young master invented the toilet, but it was the big cow that I made the toilet to thousands of households.

Li Dongsheng introduced Da Niu to Yang Qiang and Xue Li, and it turned out that Da Niu came on a blind date today. Now that his income is also the golden collar of Datang, a matchmaker came to introduce the girl to him.

Li Dongsheng smiled and quipped: "Oh, have you seen the girl's face?" Still satisfied, right? On the day of marriage, I will wrap a big red envelope for you. ”

Da Niu's originally proud face immediately became twisted: "I just met, I'm very satisfied, I don't know what the girl thinks?" ”

"Hahaha......" The people around laughed, and Yang Qiang said: "I will guarantee you which girl you see, and I must let you succeed." ”

Everyone talked and laughed, and joked for a while. Li Dongsheng suddenly asked: "Yang Qiang, how many people are there in this Zhuangzi now, how much land, and how much grain can be harvested?" ”

Yang Qiang said: "Why does Brother Li care about this? There are more than 300 mouths in the village, a total of more than 2,800 acres of land, my family's ordinary rent is very low, the farmers are well fed and warmly clothed, even if it snowed heavily in Guanzhong last year, we did not freeze to death in this village. ”

Between Yang Qiang's words, he was quite proud. Xue Li also nodded proudly.

And no wonder they're proud. The peasant households on this village are not the Yang family, but the tenants who are attached to the Yang family, and they are his family's former subordinates. can ensure that they follow the immigrants of the Yang family to wade through mountains and rivers and come over and be fed and clothed, how can Yang Qiang not be honored?

Li Dongsheng had another question in mind. More than a dozen acres of land per capita, but you just want to starve people to death? ”

In ancient times, people planted seeds in the ground, and they counted on God to reward them, and it was a miracle that people did not starve to death in various disaster years......

But what can be done to increase food production? Li Dongsheng is not Yuan Longping, and he will not improve the soil and improve the tools, so he can only give some advice on management.

Looking at this green field, Li Dongsheng thought that his manor was so big, and it was also a lot of income to increase the yield of farmland, so was I just a small landlord in the countryside? And Duoduo Little Lori also lives a life of "under the east fence of the chrysanthemum, leisurely seeing Nanshan".

Of course, Ge Ke is a young man born in the new era of the 21st century, and when he returns to ancient times to be a landlord, he must also do everything he wanted to do before, such as the traditional culture of "three wives and four concubines" in the feudal era still has to be carried forward, hehe.

Today is the Lantern Festival, I wish you all a happy holiday.
