"Datang Qin cake. Legend has it that the pot helmet was invented by the army of Bai Qi, so it is called Tang Qin cake. Yanagi explained: "It's been a month in winter, and it's estimated that it can be put for more than half a month in summer." ”

Li Shimin also cut a slice with a knife and tasted it, and then said: "The pot helmet was invented by King Wen. ”

"King Wen didn't have white flour, they don't know how to grind flour, I think there was only flour grinding in the late Spring and Autumn Period, so it must have been invented by Qin Jun." Liu Mu argued.

Li Shimin was about to refute, but Li Yuan stopped the two: "This is small, there is no need to fight." This Datang Qin cake is a good thing, is it troublesome to make? ”

"One day to make cakes, one night to bake over a simmer. You can only make one iron pot a day. ”

One is not slow, this one is estimated to be able to feed ten strong men, and it is impossible to only eat dry without drinking water, plus ten people with ordinary water may not be able to eat it all.

Most importantly, it's cooked food, and it's much better than just bringing corn and cooking it yourself.

"It's just, flour." Li Yuan believes that the cultivation of wheat in Datang is still too small.

"Father, I have ordered people to try to make all kinds of grains, but it is necessary to grow a lot of wheat. The cake is made with sorghum flour, which tastes too dry and can only be soaked in water, and wheat flour is still used. ”

Li Yuan didn't answer, and looked sideways at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "Father, the current state capitals are counted. The north is dominated by millet, accounting for 60% of the grains, and then sorghum accounts for 20%, beans account for 20%, and wheat accounts for 10%. In the south, rice is the mainstay, accounting for nearly ninety percent. ”

"Then grow a little more wheat."

Liu Mu hurriedly said: "Under intensive cultivation, the yield of wheat will be higher than that of millet, as long as the fertilizer keeps up, it is not a problem to be fifty percent higher." ”

Hearing this data, Li Yuan's original mind changed.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, millet is better than wheat, and wheat is indeed paid attention to three points of seven points, willow wood is confident that the yield of wheat is much higher than that of millet, and this period of the Tang Dynasty is still the era of small farming, as long as the yield is high, farmers are willing to stay in the field every day.

"Then pick a few mansions, let the wheat occupy half of the field first, and the matter ......" Li Yuan was thinking about who to choose to be in charge, and Liu Mu said again: "Father, don't try." Just check the figures reported by the state government, and when the summer harvest this year comes, you will see the verdict. ”

"Okay, if that's the case, let's do it."

In fact, by the time of the Song Dynasty, wheat was already the main crop in the north, and the difference was the cultivation skills and the use of fertilizer.

After Li Yuan and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, Su Iling, who was trembling with a nervous, depressed and even murderous atmosphere in Jingyang Zhuangzi, and her maidservant girl were taken to Sanyuan Xiaozhuang.

After listening to Dugu Lanruo's words of relief that she did not doubt them at all, Su Wuling expressed her willingness to cook and make a big meal.

"Good." Dugu Lanruo gave them a chance.

After the two girls went to the kitchen, Baoqin and Yueming quickly came to Liu Mu and Dugu Lanruo, and Baoqin asked, "Langjun, no one has eaten the feast of the Wa Kingdom yet." That Su Wuling is also a top nobleman, but he didn't expect to be able to cook. ”

"I'm used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it's okay to taste an exotic delicacy once in a while."

"Looks like you've eaten it?" Dugu Lanruo asked Liu Mu curiously.

Liu Mu laughed dryly: "I promise, you won't forget it for ten years, the aristocratic feast of Wajima." ”

Baoqin and Yueming both looked very expectant, only Dugu Lanruo looked at Liu Mu and had a feeling in her heart, it is likely that this so-called feast is so bad that it will make it unforgettable.

Yanagi Xin said, not to mention now, even a thousand years later, the so-called feast of the powerful and wealthy Oda Nobunaga shocked Tokugawa Ieyasu, and in the eyes of Yanagi, it is not as good as the occasional meal of the rich families in Chang'an City.

It can be said that there are all kinds of kitchen materials in willow, and what Chang'an City does not have, there are all here.

Baoqin and Yueming got up: "Let's go out for a walk and take a look at the sentinels around." ”

"Remember to wash your hands when you come back." Yanagi reminded.

"Wash your hands?" Huqin was puzzled.

Liu Mu snorted and said, "The Japanese only learned to use chopsticks more than ten years ago, and only for some nobles, so remember to wash your hands." ”

"Hey, how can you eat without chopsticks, do you use your hands to catch it?" Baoqin looked puzzled.

"You'll find out in a moment." Liu Mu said happily.

In the outer courtyard, the sisters of Baoqin are carrying an animal called a hornless wild sheep from outside, and if Liu Mu sees it, he will definitely drool, and this thing can only be seen in the deep mountains and old forests in the wild in the future.

Artificially cultivated, very poor, very poor.

The forest musk deer, a peculiar animal, has egg-sized sachets on its body.

"It's a good thing, but today's daughter of the nobleman from Wajima said that she was preparing a big meal for Wajima, and she would keep her stomach for a while to taste it." Huqin said as he walked out.

The four of them looked at each other, and then quickly peeled the forest musk deer, took the sachet, and then cut it up, and hung it under the tree with a touch of salt. It was clear that they were going to taste the Wajima feast.

Only a quarter of an hour later, Baoqin came back just in time for dinner.

What's on the table?

Baoqin was suspicious of her own eyes, a ball of rice, then a small bowl of water with a piece of kelp floating without a splash of oil, then a strip of pickled radish, and then a small piece of dried fish, which seemed to have just been cooked.

Then there was a bowl of black soup and two plums in a small saucer.

Baoqin picked up the ball of rice, which was not much bigger than an egg, and it was obviously yesterday's leftovers, and asked Liu Mu in a low voice: "Lang Jun, this arrangement of the Japanese people is interesting, but it is not very good-looking." ”

The Datang banquet is particular about plating, and it is for seeing, not eating.

Most of them are dried fruits, preserved fruits and the like.

"That's the meal. And the king of the Japanese is also at this level. Liu Mu smiled happily.

"This, it will starve people to death." Although Baoqin is young and a woman, her food is not small, and people who practice martial arts have such a lot of activity all day long that they feel that they can't survive without half a catty of meat and Baoqin.

Liu Mu threw his coat aside: "Okay, watch me cook you a real feast for the Wa Kingdom." ”

Su and I Ling sat awkwardly in the lower position, not knowing how to answer.

Liu Mu is not wrong, their Wa King is also this meal.

Su Iling has been in Chang'an for many days, and she has also seen the food in Chang'an and the food of Jingyang Zhuangzi. She wasn't used to eating, and she had a stomach fuss for many days.

The reason is very simple, people who have never eaten meat since birth can't stand what they eat in Jingyang Zhuangzi.

Liu Mu went to the kitchen, Baoqin and Yueming followed left and right, Yueming asked Liumu: "Do you want the sheep?" ”
