Chapter 707 In Li Sikong's hands, anything can be turned into magic
Zhuge Jin followed Li Su and Zhuge Liang into the table, and observed the scenery on both sides as he walked.
The place where Li Su chose to entertain guests today was a pavilion in the middle of the lake in Bigui Garden, with a nine-curved stone corridor bridge connecting the two sides. This is also a few places in this former royal garden that have not been affected by the war, and are well preserved.
When Dong Zhuo withdrew, he asked someone to set fire, but he didn't have time to run to the small island in the middle of the lake to set a special place. After the house on the shore was burned, the fire could not cross the lake water and spread.
As a civil servant who is also familiar with poetry and books and is proficient in historical lessons, Zhuge Jin has a very strong brain-replenishing ability for these ancient relics. Looking at the remains of this grass and tree, he can brain-replenishing:
Perhaps the scene when the guard who stayed here, who was attacked and killed by Zhao Yunqi was quite similar to the dilemma of Wang Mang escaping to Jiantai to avoid fire before his death.
This kind of synesthesia is difficult for people without education to associate. It is like an archaeology professor and an illiterate person who also visits a museum. Illiterate is just a blind look, and archaeological masters can see the article when they see a brick.
Zhuge Jin could also see that Li Su took the attitude of learning from the many "miracles" left by Emperor Ling. As long as the preservation is well preserved, it will continue to be retained, and will not blindly demolish and build large-scale buildings, but will be demolished for the sake of demolition.
What needs to be removed is more or less damaged and cannot be directly used. This can be regarded as a careful inheritance and development.
After joining the table, Zhuge Jin saw that the dishes served in front of him were nothing but steam pot chicken, roasted beef and mutton, and roasted Yellow River carp with wine. The steam pot chicken was added with ham and winter bamboo shoots, and the roasted carp was served with roasted noodles.
A few meat dishes, except for the Yellow River carp, are all domestically raised and have no wild game.
This scene also moved Zhuge Jin very much, realizing how hard life was after Li Su was transferred to the position of Sili Captain.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the living conditions are already very good. But if you compare it vertically with Li Su's days in Chengdu, Chang'an and Wuchang, you will know how much it is to live in Luoyang, which is in ruins.
Henan Yin’s local pigs obviously used not the clean feed required by Li Su, and they had never been rude and the taste was still strong. So Li Su did not eat local fresh pork, and the only pork topping on the table today was ham.
That was produced in Zhuti County, Dianzhou, which is equivalent to the "Yunnan Xuanwei Ham" in later generations.
When Li Su was in Yizhou, he asked the farmers in his fiefdom who were responsible for tribute livestock and meat to be kept from the pigs given to the Marquis' Mansion to be raised with traditional filthy feed.
Of course, Li Su is not a waste of abusers, and he will not ask for breastfeeding to pigs like those who compete with the luxury and luxury people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As long as pigs raised by stew, pig grass, and nuts, Li Su can accept it. Moreover, try to choose the fruit varieties that humans do not like to eat.
It is precisely because of Li Su's pragmatic attitude that the cost of raising pigs has not significantly increased. This prescription, which was originally used for private enjoyment, was learned and imitated by local mountain people. Later, it was circulated to Zhuti County to develop "Xuanwei Ham".
For example, the taste is coarse and astringent. It is only in the famine that some people grind into acorn noodles. This is a nut that "humans don't like to eat, but pigs like to eat". The cost is actually cheaper than bran.
In the deserted period, people would rather eat coarse wheat bran than acorn noodles. Eating too much of that thing can easily cause constipation.
But there are many acorns in the mountains in the south, and the pork grown with acorns has a strong nutty aroma. Western Iberian ham often advocates that "these pigs are grown up with acorns." Li Su asked the people to pick up the nuts that humans don't like to eat the most and feed them to pigs, which is also considered a waste to use both worlds.
So in this life, the ham from Yizhou, Dianzhou has the dual advantages of the original "Yunnan Xuanwei Ham" and the Western "Iberian Ham", which is bright, mellow and nutty.
However, in the north, this pig feed formula cannot be promoted and cannot even be promoted on a small scale.
The main reason is that there are not the 100,000 mountains in southern Yizhou and Dianzhou, nor are there such rich wild mountain nuts. There are not enough mountain ethnic labor force, so I have no time to pick up mountain fruits.
Li Su's future pork freedom will have to rely on long-distance trade in the south for a long time to pay tribute.
Zhuge Jin was familiar with most of the dishes on the table. He had never seen only a dish of roasted yellow river carp noodles, so after sitting down, Zhuge Jin talked about food and tasted this fish first.
After taking a few bites, he realized that the dish was very good at removing fishy fish, and the problem of loose carp meat was also well handled.
"The chefs in Sikong's mansion can really turn any material into magic. A mere carp can have no fishy smell and the flesh is firm, which is simply incredible."
Li Su laughed proudly when she heard this: "Tiyu is a coincidence. If you were like A Liang, you would have eaten a month ago, you would not have eaten this kind of Yellow River carp."
Zhuge Liang also smiled beside him: "The chef in Master Li's mansion can optimize and adjust the cooking method in half a month, and figure out a new flavor."
It turned out that after a month, what Zhuge Jin ate this time was no longer the "Yellow River Carp Roasted Noodles" when Li Su first came. Li Su never considered the issue of "fagu/retro", especially when it comes to eating, he would not believe that traditional dishes are better than new dishes.
In Li Su's eyes, even if the "court imitation food" in later capitals did not keep pace with the times and learn from others' strengths, it would not be comparable to contemporary food.
Otherwise, will the power of technological progress be of no help to "make humans eat better"? In order to capture human taste buds, modern science has developed to the level of molecular cuisine. It is more delicious than delicious. Modern technology has its advantages.
The reason why traditional famous dishes are famous is that they can only achieve this under the technical conditions at that time, which was very good at that time.
Li Su didn't know much about Henan cuisine in his previous life. When he first came to Luoyang in this life, he could only let the chefs in the mansion learn "Yellow River Carp Roasted Noodles", but after eating it, he thought about further upgrading.
He thought of the Sichuan restaurants in later generations where there were so many "spicy grilled fish" and "Zhuge Grilled Fish". For loose meat fish, they were first blanched with crispy oil, and then put them on an iron plate and added other ingredients to simmer. The fish processed in this way were a little tighter than the traditional carp roast noodles "fry the fish first and shape it".
Of course, Li Su was based on pragmatism and learned from others' strengths. He asked the chef to combine frying and roasting, and improved the sweet and sour sauce into iron plates. He tried variously and finally became a new variety that combines carp roast noodles and Zhuge roasted fish. However, the spices were not as many as in later generations.
Of course, the "Zhuge Grilled Fish" in history actually had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, and they were all far-fetched by later generations. However, the grilled fish made by Li Su in this life was a coincidence and really had something to do with Zhuge Liang.
After all, Zhuge Liang also came to him here every day this month to have a free meal. If everyone was not satisfied with the meal, they would discuss and give suggestions together, which was the result of jointly criticizing current problems and improving them.
Zhuge Jin quickly became suspicious of life. Ginger was still spicy, and all ingredients turned into magic when it came to the hands of the chef in Sikong Mansion.
...
At the end of the banquet, Li Su and Zhuge Jin began to talk about the important matters of immigration and building the new capital.
Li Su has many assessment indicators to learn from Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin also has many sudden incomprehensions to ask for advice.
After Li Su was full, she stopped her cup and threw her chopsticks and asked casually: "Tiyu, how many people have been sent to organize the Immigration in Yizhou this time? How long will it take to be in place? Has the personnel composition been organized and carefully considered?"
Zhuge Jin also just put down his silver chopsticks and was almost full. He realized that Li Su was polite and afraid that he would not be full.
At the banquet, if there is a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, the leader put down his chopsticks and asked questions. Even if the subordinates are not full, they are embarrassed to continue eating. The banquet will basically end.
There are two completely different modes for superiors and subordinates to eat and treat customers to dinner. Li Su was thinking about the people below, so he just didn't ask anything at the beginning. Seeing that Zhuge Jin didn't eat much, he asked.
Zhuge Jin answered with sincerity: "In the past, every year, Yizhou immigrated to the outside world was controlled within 200,000 people and within 50,000 households according to your requirements.
Which of these two indicators will stop expanding when they arrive first, which is also to allow the people to have a stable expectation so that they will not affect production due to concerns about immigration.
This year, we are also following your instructions. Considering that Luoyang is richer than the northwest and has better development prospects, the people are more willing to come, so the scale has been slightly expanded. The number of households is still stuck at about 50,000 households, and 59,000 households have been moved. In addition, your enfeoffed households in Pi County have been relocated in the name of Pi Hou and have been relocated to some households.
So there are 68,000 households and more than 287,000 people. This time I came with me the first batch, more than 40,000 people, and a total of five batches will arrive within two months."
Too many people can't immigrate to Luoyang at one time, mainly because the ship's capacity is burdened. After all, the daily transportation of private people and trade with merchants, and the imperial military supplies cannot stop and cannot squeeze out the capacity.
Zhuge Jin was divided into four or five batches, and the impact on transportation capacity was minimized.
It was a bit similar to before the Barbarossa plan during World War II, when the German army put tens of thousands of trains into the railway network to the east line, and 1.5 million train wands to transport troops, weapons and military supplies. As a result, the German civilian train schedule was still zero late, and normal civilian transport trains did not need to be delisted and abolition would be affected.
This factor later led to Comrade Stalin clearly seeing the information that "the Germans are going to attack" obtained by Zorg and other intelligence channels, but he still couldn't believe it, believing that the German army was not ready to assemble to the east line at all (of course, the price of cotton and cotton has not increased significantly, and the shortage is also an important factor leading to misjudgment, indicating that the German army did not prepare for winter clothes)
Zhuge Jin could not achieve such strict modern scheduling efficiency, but his daily civil affairs scheduling efficiency can also be seen. This was also trained by Li Su for many years as a county magistrate, prefect, and governor.
Regarding the years before and after Li Suan, Zhuge Jin is not shorter than his younger brother. In the era when other civil servants in the world generally have low mathematical coordination skills, the Zhuge brothers' resumes are themselves a big flaw. As long as they are willing to study hard, they can become masters of coordination.
The reason why the immigrants are mixed with nine thousand "people in Pi County and surrounding fiefdoms" is to minimize the impact on the local people's livelihood fluctuations in the Chengdu Plain, so as not to have the psychological expectation that "there will be more and more immigrants every year in the future."
