"Time to eat, time to eat." The little girl who had dug up a lot of wild vegetables called everyone to eat.
The local aborigines were like the people of the Tang dynasty. They ate two meals a day.
They were not like the people in the capital who ate three or four meals a day.
A large group of aboriginal children ran over with the little girl as the center. They were all smiling.
The children's happiness was very simple. Sometimes, a candy could make them happy for a long time. Sometimes, they would be inexplicably excited when they saw the rain outside.
"When we wake up tomorrow morning, we will eat sour cornmeal soup. It will ferment today."
Li Yi and his men made cornmeal pancakes and salted fish for everyone. They were all steamed.
The salted fish was made from the small yellow croakers he caught in the sea. It had been many days since he came out, and there were very little nitrites.
Li Yi felt that the nitrites in the salted vegetables were not a problem in the development of Chinese cuisine.
Whether it was pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables, dried vegetables, sausages, etc., the Chinese people knew that they could only eat them when the time was right.
Who would eat the pickled vegetables in the northeast after being pickled for ten days?
Also, the pickled vegetables were only allowed to be eaten after 20 days.
Yunnan's raw pork and salt were kept in jars. Who would eat them within a month? They were kept for a few months and only eaten after fermenting.
Some people were stupid and said that the salted vegetables were not good to eat because of the nitrites.
The Chinese people knew about this long ago. Why would they need to talk about it? Why were they pretending to be scientific?
Also, they said that alkaline and acidic foods were not good for the body. Didn't they know that the Chinese people knew about the neutralization of acids and bases?
Cornmeal pancakes were salted fish. Naturally, there were also people who said that salted fish were not healthy.
Salted fish had been steamed for more than a month. How could they criticize it based on their so-called knowledge?
Li Yi did not care. Many so-called public knowledge accounts were shameless in order to earn royalties.
You can't eat fried food, pickled vegetables, fried food, red meat, white meat, fish with too much protein, and carbohydrates are harmful to your health … You can't eat it. You can't eat it. You can't eat it.
It was easy to find such people. In order to earn royalties, some even helped to advertise.
They did not care about right or wrong. If they could deceive people, they would think that they were smart. They lacked morals and only cared about money.
Now, everyone was eating cornmeal pancakes, steamed salted fish, and small yellow flowers.
There was also a wild vegetable soup with some pepper noodles and chopped green onions. There were no eggs or shellfish.
"Li Lang, this is delicious. The cornmeal is a bit thick, but it's still edible. It's satisfying."
Princess Yongmu took a bite of the salted fish and a big bite of the cornbread. She felt extremely good.
"Because the fish is salty. A small fish needs to eat at least two big pancakes. I tried it, and it works. It will be easy to deal with the people of the Tang dynasty in the future."
Li Yi felt a sense of nostalgia. He had not eaten it for at least ten years.
Eating this when he was young consumed too much food.
It was good enough that he could eat two pancakes now. When he was young, he rarely saw adults eat more than twenty pancakes because there was no other oil.
When he was young, he had seen a woman with a very good figure eat 16 big steamed buns. If it were him now, he would only need to eat one steamed bun.
She had an S-shaped figure and worked in a coal mine. She might have eaten.
There was also a man carrying a log. There were more than 20 big steamed buns. Some people tried to show off and ate 30 of them.
Li Yi was still pondering. How could the stomach be so good at storing food?
"Li Lang, I think it's good to raise pigs. Raising pigs saves food." Princess Yongmu ate a pancake and stopped eating.
She could still eat. Eating two more pancakes was not a problem. The fish was too salty.
She was thinking about the fat conversion. When people ate food, the more they ate, the more they would feel hungry. Then, they would feel uncomfortable going to the toilet. They would not be able to poop, and there would be less oil.
If they fed food to the pigs and ate meat, they would not be so hungry. They would eat less food, and it would be easier to go to the toilet.
"Yes, 100 catties of food. If you dig wild vegetables and eat them together, three catties a day might not be enough.
Take out half of it to feed the pigs. Spend a little more time cutting pigweed and eating pork. One catty of food a day would be enough.
Therefore, farming is always accompanied by planting. Protein, fat, carbohydrates, trace elements, and so on.
Whoever can coordinate the relationship better will be the one who maximizes the use of resources. "
Li Yi agreed. It involved the conversion rate of protein and fat.
The conversion rate of carbohydrates of pigs was higher than that of humans. They could eat pigweed and other things.
That was why they raised pigs. Otherwise, why would they raise them?
In the Tang dynasty, many people raised dogs to kill them for meat. Other than guard dogs and hunting dogs, the rest were raised and then strangled to death.
As for cute rabbits and stupid bamboo rats, they were all food.
The natives did not know that Li Yi had to consider a lot when he ate something. He was affected by the rules of his era. He was bound and then broke free from them.
The natives' thoughts were simpler. They did not have too many moral constraints. The most correct thing for them to do was to stay alive. Everything else should get lost.
I can't live anymore. I can even eat humans. You want to talk about ethics and morals with me? Come, stand in front of me and say, just right. I will eat you today.
"Do you see? The processing of food is also a kind of technique. It's a cooking technique. "Li Yi ate the conch that he had caught earlier.
"Isn't cooking technique the same as production technique? The natives don't understand.
Look at the conch. When we bake it with salt, it is actually a dehydration process.
When we reach the next stop, there will be potatoes. I will bake them with salt for you. Small potatoes. Big potatoes are not good. They are not delicious. "
Li Yi explained cooking techniques from the perspective of food. Cooking techniques were very important, but not many people paid attention to it.
In his era, Chinese restaurants were opened all over the world. Was it just because there were Chinese all over the world?
Definitely not. There were some places where not many Chinese went to, but there were still Chinese restaurants.
Since it was owned by the Chinese, they had to eat their own meals too. At the same time, they could adjust it according to the local tastes.
When the locals are comfortable eating, the Chinese will make money.
If they meet real Chinese, the dishes they make will be different. If the dishes are the same, the Chinese tourists will not like to eat them.
"Li Lang, don't exchange for potatoes. We will have them at the next stop, right?" Princess Yongmu was afraid that Li Yi would use his lifespan to exchange for food.
She can choose not to eat as there are many things she can eat.
"No. I am not stupid. When there are more potatoes in the future, I have a good way to make money. If I don't say it, they will not be able to figure it out. You can sell it at Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion. "
Li Yi gave Princess Yongmu a conch meat and said in a low voice. It was very mysterious.
Xiao Lan leaned forward to listen. After listening, she nodded and looked at the others warily.
"Xiao Lan, we are all on the same side. Don't play tricks." Li Yi was so angry that he laughed.
He was disgusted. In the past, when he was in primary and middle school, there were always girls who looked mysterious. In fact, they were precocious and played tricks.
Then, they met him and wanted to make use of him. He was not so stupid at that time. He did not agree and ignored them.
When the girls saw that their tricks were seen through, they became angry and asked other stupid boys to find trouble with Li Yi.
Li Yi had beaten the girls with bricks and sticks a few times. He even hit the girls and grabbed their hair and kicked their faces. All the children in the school knew that he was not to be trifled with.
Li Yi came from the countryside and was not used to this disease.
He was most grateful to his parents because they said that if you were bullied, you should not beat them up. When you go home, we will beat you up.
Wasn't this the reality? Children's weakness was mostly reflected in their parents' weakness. If a soldier is weak, then a general is weak.
