Before Bai Feng came to Hanzhong, he was very bored.
During this period of time, Bai Feng would definitely not be idle.
Bai Feng had always thought that the dishes in ancient times were too bland.
After all, salt and sugar were very rare in ancient times, and the dishes made were limited.
Even the dishes made by the imperial chef were not as delicious as the food in the food stalls in Bai Feng's eyes.
However, there was nothing he could do. After all, this was the disadvantage of ancient times.
If he wanted to change this situation, he could only make salt!
Fortunately, Bai Feng had made salt at home before.
The simplest and most effective way to make salt was to make it directly from seawater.
Therefore, Bai Feng specially went to the seaside to collect seawater to make salt.
In fact, ancient people also ate sea salt, but sea salt was extremely expensive, and it was coarse salt.
Because ancient times did not have the filtering technology of modern times, the things contained in sea salt were too mixed. If all of them were not filtered out, it could not be eaten at all.
In ancient times, it took a lot of time to filter sea salt.
It took half a year or even a year to make a little bit of salt.
Therefore, salt was a luxury.
And sugar was even rarer.
In ancient times, only the relatives of the royal family could afford to eat sugar.
After all, the method of making sugar in ancient times was really simple.
The sweetest thing was honey, but no one in ancient times dared to cultivate honey.
The main reason was that the protective measures could not keep up.
If one wanted to get honey, they had to do it by force and get themselves bruised all over.
However, the taste of honey that had not been processed was far inferior to that of the current honey.
Moreover, the person who collected the honey would not be able to recover without recuperating for a year or so.
Things were precious when they were rare.
Under all these circumstances, sugar had become the most expensive luxury.
However, this was simply a piece of cake for Bai Feng.
After all, Bai Feng had the seeds of sugarcane.
After the sugarcane was produced, it could be made into cane sugar.
The method of making cane sugar was also relatively simple.
The cane sugar that Bai Feng made during this period of time was enough for him to eat for a year or so.
The fine salt made from sea salt was enough for Bai Feng to eat for a long time.
With sugar and salt, naturally, he could not do without the two seasonings, cumin and chili.
Since there were many people, Bai Feng prepared more than ten dishes.
They were all simple home-cooked dishes. After all, Bai Feng was not a Michelin chef. He only knew how to cook some home-cooked dishes.
However, Bai Feng's culinary skills were superb. In modern times, many people liked to eat Bai Feng's dishes.
Now, Bai Feng had a lot of vegetables and fruits on hand, and Hanzhong itself had poultry.
As for meat, there was less of it.
Although pigs were raised in ancient times, most of them ate mutton, and there was no way to deal with the smell of pork.
Pork, also known as pig meat, was hard to swallow.
However, if Lin Chuan wanted to eat meat, it would be a piece of cake.
What's more, he could also buy the young of poultry and livestock in the System Shop.
However, Bai Feng didn't have the energy and time to cultivate it, so he put it aside for the time being.
Bai Feng prepared more than ten dishes in one go, including a combination of meat and vegetables.
The appetizer and dessert were hawthorn cakes.
The main dishes were stewed beef brisket with potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, three fresh vegetables, spicy chicken, and other home-cooked dishes.
There was also tomato and egg soup, seaweed and egg soup.
Finally, there were some cold dishes, such as tomatoes with sugar, which Bai Feng liked to eat until now.
This table of dishes could definitely be called a grand banquet in the Three Kingdoms era.
Tomatoes with sugar alone could be popular all over the world.
Some people had never eaten any sugar in their lives.
When they saw the dishes Bai Feng made, everyone was shocked.
Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu, especially, were even more dumbfounded.
They had never seen these dishes before!
They were red and green, and they looked, smelled, and looked delicious.
The tempting aroma almost took Ma Chao's soul away.
"Sir, what are these? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Ma Chao rubbed his hands excitedly and asked.
Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "After that, you will eat these dishes.
"After that, you guys started to eat it often. These are all relatively common dishes."
"I've already planted all of them. It won't be long before Western Liang is no longer so cold."
"Okay, okay, eat while it's hot. I've steamed a lot of rice. Eat more."
Looking at the rice in the big wooden bucket, everyone immediately swallowed their saliva.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat heartily.
"This meat tastes so strange. It's not mutton."
Ma Chao picked up a piece of braised pork and muttered.
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"This is definitely not mutton. This is pork."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone was shocked.
Ma Chao was stunned. He looked at the braised pork with half of it left on his chopsticks.
"This is … braised pork?"
"No, no, no, it's impossible. Sir, don't lie to me."
"Braised pork tastes very bad. How can it be so delicious?"
"Moreover, it's sweet …"
Bai Feng smiled and said, "Nonsense.
I added sugar. How can it not be sweet? "
"Sugar?"
Ma Chao blinked.
He had never eaten sugar since he was a child.
"Sir, you're really something. Wei Emperor is actually willing to give you sugar."
"As far as I know, even Wei Emperor doesn't eat sugar."
Pound couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Forget it. Wei Emperor doesn't have sugar. I made this sugar with sugarcane."
"Here, take a look."
After saying that, Bai Feng went to the kitchen and took out two medium-sized jars.
One of the jars was filled with salt, and the other with sugar.
"Fine salt, it's fine salt!"
Ma Chao was dumbfounded.
Fine salt, so much fine salt!
"Sir, don't tell me you made this fine salt yourself?"
Ma Chao asked tentatively.
Bai Feng nodded noncommittally.
"This is sea salt. It can be eaten after refining. It's delicious."
"Okay, okay. Why are you all asking so many questions? Hurry up and eat."
"Don't leave any for me. I can't eat so much by myself."
"Why? What is it? "
Ma Chao decided not to think about it.
After all, Sir knew a lot.
However, Bai Feng's worries were completely unnecessary.
At first, Bai Feng thought he had made too much and wanted Ma Chao to bring the leftovers back to eat.
However, everything on the table was swept clean like a tornado, even the plates were clean.
Everyone was full. Their stomachs were even showing.
The worst thing was that there were two big buckets of rice!
The buckets were almost as tall as one of Bai Feng's legs.
"Are you all pigs?"
Bai Feng immediately scolded with a smile.
He had only eaten two bowls of rice. He didn't eat much.
There were only so many people here, and so many dishes were destroyed so easily.
"Sir, your cooking is simply superb!"
Ma Yunlu said happily, "That's right.
