What she thinks, Liu Xing knows.

When he knew that she was thinking like this in her heart, Liu Xing couldn't help but throb in the depths of his thoughts, and secretly thought: Could it be that this little girl is really in love with me? But when did she fall in love with me, and why did she fall in love with me?

You must know that I am the biggest threat to his Zhao family now, but deep down she has such a thought in her heart, how much she loves me!

No, Liu Xing, Liu Xing, you are already sorry for the two women, let the two women share your love that is not big enough, how can you bring a third woman in to share.

One person can be spared, two people can be forgiven, at least two women, you Liu Xing can still take care of and take care of them. If there is such a golden branch and jade leaf, no matter how much she loves you, you will inevitably find it difficult to take care of three women.

How big the mind is to carry how many things, how big is the diamond to do a lot of work. You are the number one master today, but you are just an ordinary man, without the ability to divide a heart into many petals, each petal can be brilliant.

No, there are too many negative people and they are no different from beasts. Beasts can't do it, so stop thinking about it.........

"Tell the master, you sent your subordinates to inquire about it, and your subordinates have made it clear to inquire about it." Just as Liu Xing was muttering to himself in his heart and stopping his thoughts, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, Liu Xing saw five personal soldiers chasing after him.

As soon as he stopped his horse, the personal soldiers led by him immediately lowered their heads and hugged their fists and said: "Yu Taifu, the reason why that farmer wants to change the paddy field into dry land is because he wants to use his own field to grow soybeans and use it as raw materials for his family's oil mill. ”

"Huh?" After listening to the words of the captain of the pro-soldiers. Liu Xing frowned, lowered his head in thought, and whispered to himself: "Plant soybeans to extract oil." This is a good way to make money. It seems that it's not just the master who is thinking about how to let the people live a prosperous life as soon as possible. Those people are also looking for their own way to get rich. The master is in the folk, this is good, this is really good wow! ”

After a slight pause in his voice, Liu Xing looked up at the commander of Tian Cewei in the team on the other side, and asked in a loud voice: "Lu Mingtao, haven't you been working as a secret agent in the household department before, do you know how much oil I produce in the Great Song Dynasty today." What is the yield of other oils used in eating? ”

Edible oil is essential in people's daily life, it not only provides the fat that the body needs. It makes food delicious and tasty, and it has a variety of uses, so that people can't live without it.

In the Central Plains, people in ancient times knew about oil and ate it for a long time.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor got a book called "River Map", he read it day and night, in order to solve the problem of lighting at night, he ordered a subordinate named Li Mu to collect tree fruits to make oil, use silk cotton as oil core, and light it at night to read.

Of course, that's just a legend, but the production of vegetable oil is a later thing. Animal oil was the first to be known and consumed.

After humans learned how to use fire, they were in the process of barbecuing and cooking meat with utensils. After long-term practice, I gradually learned how to obtain oil and its use.

Creams can sometimes be used in combination with each other. According to some ancient records, the oil eaten by people in the Central Plains of China before the Han Dynasty was animal oil, called "fat and ointment". The word fat paste is derived from meat, indicating that they are produced from animal meat. Lipids have various names due to the different parts of the animal's body.

As early as before the Xia Shang, due to the unknown language recorded in the ancient books, the specific situation of its edible oil is not very clear. Tianjian": "Feng Jue is decided, the seal is shot, why offer the paste of steamed meat, and then the emperor is not as good? ”

That is to say that Xia Yi shot a big wild boar and used its meat paste to sacrifice to the Emperor of Heaven, but why didn't the Emperor of Heaven bless him? Wild boar fat is used to sacrifice to the gods, and the gods are imagined and created by people, and the diet of the gods is also the eating habits of people.

It can be inferred that the first people to eat the oil of hunting beasts, and after the emergence of animal husbandry, people naturally consumed the oil of domestic animals.

It is said that at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the tyrant King Xuan performed the "punishment of cannon branding", which was to apply grease to the copper pillar, and let the "dreamer" slip and fall into the burning charcoal fire for fun.

After the Zhou Dynasty, there were many records of cooking paste in ancient books. According to those ancient books, when eating lamb and suckling pig in spring, it should be cooked with butter; In summer, eat dried chicken and fish, cooked in dog fat; In autumn veal fawns are eaten, cooked in lard; In winter, fresh fish and wild geese are eaten and cooked in mutton fat.

It can be seen that at that time, people had already understood the properties of various animal oils, so they emphasized which animal oil should be used for cooking in a certain season and a certain meat.

It was probably also at that time that people began to consume animal oil, mainly from domestic animals, such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, etc., as well as caught beasts, fish, birds, etc. The liver in "Eight Treasures".

The amount of grease required in daily life is large, and there were merchants specializing in the trading of grease in the Han Dynasty. Historical Records. The Legend of the Goods Colony "Cloud: "Selling fat, humiliation, and Yongbo's daughter." "Yongbo can get rich by selling fat, and its business scale should not be small.

The oil word is the special name of the water name, "Shuowen": "Oil and water, out of the west of Wuling Xiaoling, southeast into the river." "This water is roughly in the area of present-day Yichang, Hubei.

Because the word oil contains the meaning of flow and gloss, after the emergence of vegetable oil, it was used as the meaning of fat oil, and gradually lost its original meaning, with the wide application of vegetable oil, the word oil gradually became a common name for animal, vegetable oil and other oils.

The acquisition of vegetable oil began around the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when people already knew that the oil contained in plant fruits, but the method of extraction and the finished product were still relatively simple and primitive.

Cui Wei's "Four People's Moon Order" said that in May, "hang the oil coat with a rod, do not hide it" (folding). An oilcoat is an oiled coat to protect against rain, possibly with vegetable oil.

In the Han Dynasty, sesame seeds, then called flax, were introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions. Because of its rich oil content, it has gradually been loved and eaten by the majority of people.

The planting and trading of flax is mentioned many times in the "Four People's Moon Order", which shows that people attached great importance to flax at that time, and also reflected the important position of flax in people's daily life at that time.

Vegetable oil was probably originally used for lighting or as a combustible fuel in war, as reflected in the legendary Limu Oil. Sesame oil is probably the first vegetable oil to appear in large quantities and be used for consumption. During the Three Kingdoms period, people used sesame oil in large quantities.

In some ancient books about the Three Kingdoms period, it is recorded that this sesame oil, which may refer to sesame oil, was used as a burning product, and its number is not a few.

Wang Yin said hemp paste in the Book of Jin, and said sesame oil on the bottom, and the anointing oil was used interchangeably. From this, we can also glimpse the traces of the gradual replacement of grease as a generic term by the word oil.

The consumption of vegetable oil may have been more common during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. (To be continued.) )
