When he got up in the morning, Zhang Chao put on a full set of new clothes, shoes and hats. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info has a black soft-footed head on his head, a white robe with a round neck, a leather belt around his waist, and black boots on his feet.

Dressed well, Zhang Chao took care of the basin of water, and found that the one in the water was also very Tang style.

This round-necked robe is actually a robe with connected clothes, but with a slit in the middle of the outer thigh. There is also a hidden collar button at the neckline, and a placket button on the lower waist of one side.

This kind of robe is an improvement on the basis of Han Shenyi, which is similar to the round-necked robes of the officials and scholars of the Tang Dynasty, but the robes of the officials and scholars are not open, and the hem of the shirt is also long, directly to the feet. The round-necked shirt worn by ordinary people only reaches the calf.

The clothes, shoes and hats are all made by Qi Niang to help Zhang Chao, Qi Niang's craftsmanship is very good, the stitches are fine, and the clothes are just right to wear on the body, not big or small. Because of the cold weather, the robe is still sandwiched, and there is some silk cotton inside.

The robe with the open pun is actually somewhat similar to the robe of the Republic of China. The common people's robes are also worn for the convenience of work, and the soldiers in the army also wear this kind of open robes, which is also for the convenience of combat riding and shooting.

Man by his clothes, by his horse, by his saddle.

Zhang Chao put on a new robe, and he is no different from the people of Datang. Although the robe was made of linen and was not as comfortable as his original clothes, it made him no longer feel like an outsider.

Zhang Chao, who was in good spirits, stood outside the cave and started boxing with great interest, Tai Chi.

Just feeling good about himself, the father who came back from the thatched house looked at the side a few times, and snorted coldly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Dad, this is Tai Chi, look at my punch, although it seems to be gentle and slow, but it can actually pull out a thousand catties in four or two."

"I'll try." After Dad finished speaking, a punch came, Zhang Chao hurriedly resisted, and he also wanted to use Tai Chi to resolve it, but as soon as Dad used a little force, Zhang Chao fell to the sky.

Daddy bent down and reached out to pull up Zhang Chao, who was in great pain from falling on his buttocks, and slapped the snow on his body for him.

"Your punch, the name is upside down, Tai Chi. It's a pity that in fact, it doesn't have any power, if it's just practicing health, I think it's okay, but if you say that you can strengthen your body or even go into battle to kill the enemy, your punch won't work. I think, don't practice this Tai Chi in the future, practice with me, and it will be a thousand times better than your Tai Chi. ”

Dad belittled Tai Chi so much, Zhang Chao couldn't refute it, although Tai Chi is legendary, it's a pity that he can't practice it, and he just practiced those few tricks, but he used to learn the old men in the park.

Dad is willing to teach him martial arts, Zhang Chao is still very excited, after all, Dad has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and he must be powerful if he is killed in the pile of dead people.

excitedly agreed, but who knew that the father just took out his fifteen-pound iron gun and threw it to Zhang Chao.

"Tie your steps, hold your gun, and stick forward. When you pierce it, you use all your strength, and you roar while piercing. ”

Zhang Chao held the heavy gun, set his pace according to his father's requirements, stabbed forward with all his strength, and roared when the gun was drawn, which was indeed a bit imposing.

"It's still decent, that's it, keep this position, and shoot a hundred shots today. Remember, every shot has to be done with all your heart and soul, and you can't slack off. ”

A hundred shots, isn't that trivial?

Zhang Chao felt that a hundred shots were not difficult, but when he stabbed eight or nine shots in a row, he felt that he couldn't do it. His legs were sore, his arms were even more sore, his waist was sore, and he couldn't shout in his throat.

Just wanted to relax, but Dad slapped him on the shoulder and almost sat him down.

"Grit your teeth and persevere, if you can't do a hundred, don't stop."

In the end, Zhang Chao failed to shoot a hundred shots, and when he pierced the twenty-seventh shot, he couldn't lift his arms. The fifteen-pound spear was a little heavy in his hand, but he could stab it out and take it back again and again, and it felt even heavier.

"Forget it, let's stop here today, I didn't expect you to be so tall and so weak. It's not enough to shoot twenty-seven shots, and I'll have to double my practice in the future. Daddy smiled wryly and shook his head. When he ordered Zhang Chao for 100 shots, he set a very low number, who knew that he couldn't even complete a hundred, so he could only stab 27 shots.

Zhang Chao put down his spear and panted.

"Dad, how far do you want to practice your skills?"

"When you can stab a thousand shots in one go, then you will also have my ability."

A thousand guns, Zhang Chao was speechless, and he may not be able to succeed in practicing until the Year of the Monkey.

For breakfast, I ate steamed cakes sent by Qi Niang, which is actually a big trowel. The steamed cakes of the Tang people are called steamed cakes in steamers, whether they are steamed bread or steamed buns, steamed buns or flower rolls, they are all called steamed cakes. The steamed cake delivered today is actually a yellow flour bun, which is a steamed bun made of millet flour, and the steamed bun from yellow millet flour is also yellow.

With so much strength from practicing guns in the morning, Zhang Chao had a good appetite.

Picking up a yellow bun, he took a big bite into it.

But immediately Zhang Chao almost vomited again, so sour.

"Dad, our steamed cakes are made from old noodles, did you forget to put alkali?"

"Well, old noodles are used to make pasta, what is alkali? What do you do with alkali? ”

It turned out that there was no yeast powder in this era, so the people used old noodles for dough, also commonly known as leaven. In fact, it is to leave a piece of dough for one day, and the next day the dough becomes yeast and can be used to help with fermentation. In later generations, many northern people still fermented in this way.

Later generations of old steamed buns were also made in this way, but they were not sour. Because everyone will add some baking soda, which is alkali. When alkali is added, the sourness of the yeast is neutralized, and the dough is more swollen and loose.

Datang obviously has not used this method yet, or there is no such alkali.

No wonder the steamed cake is sour.

Zhang Chao remembered that edible alkali is actually very easy to refine, and there is trona in some salt lakes, and there is often a saying that salt is dried in summer and alkali is fished in the east. Edible alkali can be obtained by processing and refining trona and lime, and edible alkali can be obtained in the end, and edible alkali can even be directly processed and refined with table salt.

These refining methods were learned and experimented with when he was in middle school, and Zhang Chao felt that he had found another way to make money. If you can refine edible alkali by yourself, then everyone will not need to eat sour pasta in the future, and the pasta with alkali will be more fluffy. Such a good thing, once it comes out, will it still be worried that it will not be sold?

And this thing is not difficult to process, the material is salt or lime, plant ash and other things. If the salt is in the Middle Tang Dynasty, it will be very expensive, but now, like the Sui Dynasty, the salt court does not collect taxes, and the bucket of rice is now a few hundred yuan, but a bucket of salt is only about 100 yuan, which is much cheaper than rice.

After eating two sour steamed cakes and barely filling his stomach, Zhang Chao refused to eat them again. I'm not pregnant, and I really don't have an appetite for sour steamed buns.

Walking to the small courtyard outside the door and squatting, Zhang Chao thought about his schedule.

Repairing the cave is the first major thing at present, but the cave can not be repaired for a while and a half, and this kang and the new stove cannot be put aside, and must be started immediately. In addition, it is necessary to refine the alkaline noodles.
