"Ah!" Li Longji understood again. It was written in the book, but it was different from Li Yi's example.
Currency circulation was about using money as an intermediary for trade. It was a tool.
The circulation of commemorative coins was a commodity circulation. It was not defined by its value.
Salt bricks belonged to either of the two types. They could be eaten, which was a commodity. They could be used to buy things, which was a currency.
Commemorative coins could be collected and used to buy things, just like salt.
Princess Yongmu lowered her head and ate her doughnuts, but there was no soy milk.
She drank milk, and Xiaolan ate something with her.
Li Family Zhuangzi used fermented mung bean to make soy milk.
Soy milk was not fermented. Soy milk was made from soybeans.
Li Yi could eat any kind of food. Soy milk was actually something that the Manchurian people in his time ate.
The first nomads in the Northeast produced soy milk was Khitan's Liao.
During the Song Dynasty, Liao and Khitan both loved and hated each other. Liao loved money.
The Northern Song Dynasty lost Youzhou, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, and 16 other prefectures.
There was no place to raise horses. It was like Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty. He bowed to the Turks and asked for thousands of horses.
The Northern Song Dynasty gave money to Khitan every year for peace.
The main reason was how Zhao Kuangyin got his position. He was a military official outside and had a lot of power.
When he became the Emperor, he adopted the method of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force.
Then what was with the soy milk? What did it have to do with the Manchus?
The grassland people always ate meat and had little vegetables, so they had to eat fermented milk and cheese.
After a heavy snowfall, many cows and sheep that could produce milk were frozen to death. The Song Dynasty also did not give tea.
The tea and horse trade was called a market. A free trade zone between the two countries?
So the grassland people could only use mung bean to make soy milk to replace tea and fermented cheese. It was good for the gastrointestinal tract.
Why not use soybeans to ferment? Soybeans were fermented to make sauce.
Of course, soybeans were fermented to make sauce, and mung beans were fermented to make soy milk.
During the Qing Dynasty, the entire Northeast, including Beijing and Tianjin, was controlled by the Manchus.
Shenyang was the same. They also drank soy milk.
Beijing was called Yanjing, and Shenyang was called Shengjing.
Shanhai Pass was located in the middle of the two capitals. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This was the reason why there was the saying that the two capitals were unparalleled and the Great Wall was the first pass.
What about Tianjin? That's right! They used to drink soy milk together.
Then, he realized that if the soy milk was slightly thicker, it could be used to make pancakes. The burnt circles would turn into deep-fried dough sticks and crispy skin. Wasn't this a fruit pancake?
As for those who made a lot of money from selling crepes in Tianjin, they had to set a rule that only the crepes made by Mung Beans would count. If they didn't admit anything else, they would be too arrogant.
Tianjin's Jianbing Fruit started from Jianbing. Jianbing belonged to Shandong of Henan Province. Henan Province was not Henan Province. It included a lot of places.
Shandong was suitable for growing highland barley and wheat. At first, highland barley was used to make pancakes, which were eaten by the poor.
The development of Chinese cuisine was a continuation of history. No one had the right to define it. They could only define their own cuisine.
Li Yi was lost in thought again. He unconsciously chewed the radish strips and stir-fried them with cowpeas, pork skin, and soybeans.
He was always absent-minded, and everyone was used to it.
She was so used to not disturbing him as long as there was nothing particularly important to ask him.
Princess Yongmu took a bite of garlic eggplant. "Li Lang, I heard that they make garlic eggplant, and it's uncomfortable to eat it."
"There is less salt and garlic. The population in the north is heavy, and they eat a lot of salt. There are fewer vegetables in winter, and they use salt to make their staple food.
Rice with vegetables, roujiamo, braised noodles, stewed pancakes.
Actually, it's all because of the same reasons. There are fewer cutlery, not a fixed place to eat, and the cultural environment. "
Li Yi was lost in thought again. Why do the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi like to eat outside?
From a human's perspective, take my dumplings for example.
The dumplings are done, but the neighbors don't know. I have to show off. How do I show off? Borrow vinegar.
Borrow some vinegar. Aren't the dumplings full? There's no vinegar.
The so-called borrowing is asking for it. It's impossible to return the vinegar.
There are also some who borrow fertilizer. After the dough is fermented, they leave some for steaming buns. There's no baking powder inside.
This is human nature. There's no praise or criticism.
In history, Shanxi and Shaanxi lived in cave dwellings. The cave dwellings were dark. Can you light oil lamps during the day?
You have to come out to eat. One cave dwelling after another was similar to a courtyard house.
Then why use big bowls? People would think that there's a lot of noodles in a big bowl. The key is that people used to eat noodles with a lot of soup.
What does it mean to have a lot of soup? When eating noodles, no matter if it's ramen or steamed noodles.
If you add some capillary, it's very, very fine. You just need to add two more lines.
Fine noodles eat a lot of soup and have a large surface area.
When eating capillary noodles, you'll realize that if you eat slowly and eat a few mouthfuls, it's still the same big bowl. That's right, you'll make the noodles big.
Once it's big, you'll be full. Actually, it's still the same noodles.
Isn't this because they're poor? Shanxi and Shaanxi were historically this factor.
Henan and Hebei loved to eat jiamos because it was convenient to operate. They couldn't cook a few more dishes while working.
Authentic jiamos were made with dough and then dry baked. It was easy to save oil.
In places with higher latitudes, people were willing to eat things made with dough. In places with lower latitudes, they were most suitable for growing wheat. Therefore, they loved to eat scalded noodles.
In places with lower latitudes, there were only things made of glutinous rice, such as glutinous rice cakes.
In places with lower latitudes, they ate vermicelli and rice noodles. Rice noodles were made of indica rice.
"Li Lang, can we eat eggplant boxes at noon? Put more meat in them. "
Princess Yongmu suddenly said. She wanted to eat it.
"There aren't any canteen dishes for lunch today. I'll make it for you," Li Yi agreed. This was easy to make.
Authentic fried eggplant boxes were all made with eggplant slices that had been cut and dried in the sun and shade.
Why did it have to be dried? Even the vegetables when eating dog meat pot were dried vegetables.
It was to achieve a balance in color and taste.
Princess Yongmu was happy. "Make some fresh eggplant and dried eggplant! Let me see. "
"Me too. We're thinking of the same thing. After eating, I'll rest for a while and give the two death row prisoners who came over today an intervention practice. "
Li Yi didn't even think about it and directly cooperated.
Princess Yongmu was trying hard to think about how to cooperate. She bit her lip. "Li Lang, there aren't many death row prisoners, right? I'll dress a little prettier, and then someone will come to me and want to take advantage of me. Is it a death row prisoner? "
Li Yi: "…"
This was definitely a fishing operation. Princess Yongmu dressed up beautifully and didn't reveal her identity.
When the rich foreigners saw her, they would think that she was pretty and wanted to contact her.
When they spoke, if they were even the slightest bit impolite, they could become death row prisoners.
"Wen Tian, I'm not going to use a woman's beauty to achieve my goal. However, don't you think that if someone offends His Majesty when he's wearing such tacky clothes, his entire clan will be executed? "
Li Yi refused to let the other half of his life do such a dirty thing.
But the emperor was different, wasn't he? The clothes he wore were more rustic. It would be best if he wore a large cotton-padded jacket that exposed cotton.
Li Longji, who was eating together with them: "…"
