Chapter 27 The Relationship Between Ideals and Dreams
There is no snow in Beishan, so Yun Zheng has no choice but to have a meal by himself. Although the Yun family's cooking skills are not impressive, for Yun Zheng, there is a very important taste missing - chili. There is no chili.
!
Before Yun Zheng crossed over, he was an authentic Hunanese, and Hunanese are typical people who cannot cook without spicy food. Hunanese people's living habits are inseparable from chili peppers, just like Shanxi people like to put vinegar in their dishes, and Hokkien people like to put shrimp oil.
Hunan people will feel bad taste if there is no pepper on the table. Hunan people eat pepper. In addition to general cooking and seasoning, there are also chopped peppers, pickled peppers, pickled peppers, roasted peppers, white peppers, black bean peppers, and rice noodles.
Chili peppers, chili sauce, chili oil, etc., the list goes on and on.
But the big problem that is currently bothering Yunzheng is: chili peppers are imported. This good thing was only introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty in his world. Although before the end of the Ming Dynasty, Hunan also ate spicy food. Salt, sauce, etc. were mentioned as early as in the Book of Songs.
Honey, glutinous rice, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and other condiments, among which ginger and pepper are of course spicy. During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan had a sentence in "The Songs of Chu: Soul Calling": "It is bitter, salty and sour, and spicy and sweet are more spicy." Here it is
Contains five flavors: bitter, salty, sour, spicy and sweet
But that being said, Yunzheng is a person who is used to eating chili peppers. Now that there are no chili peppers, he is suddenly asked to replace it with something else. I'm afraid he is not used to it. Don't look at chili peppers, but in
In Hunan cuisine, spiciness is a technical skill. It can be divided into spicy, spicy, sour and spicy, paste spicy, oily spicy, fresh spicy, bitter and spicy. In addition, when used in conjunction with other seasonings, the dishes will never be the same.
, and it is also different from the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine. For example, the famous Hunan dish "Dongan Chicken" is made from yellow chicken produced in Dong'an County, cooked thoroughly, cut into several large pieces, and then mixed with ester, ginger, and pepper.
Pour in the chicken soup with salt, cover it with a large bowl, and pour it several times until the flavor of the seasoning penetrates into the chicken. Dong'an chicken is mainly sour and spicy. It tastes appetizing and refreshing, and it is fragrant on the teeth and cheeks. Another traditional famous dish is "
"Spicy Chicken" is made by deboning the chicken and cutting it into cubes, sizing it with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and wet starch, then oiling it until hot, stir-frying it with red pepper flakes and Sichuan peppercorns, and adding vinegar, soy sauce, green garlic segments, and Gou Ying oil.
The characteristic of spicy chicken is red pepper, green garlic, numb and spicy, close to Sichuan flavor but different from Sichuan flavor. In addition, there are also "sesame crispy chicken", "five yuan fairy chicken" and so on, all of which are cooked due to their cooking characteristics.
Different methods and ingredients result in different levels of spiciness and different tastes. This is just the chicken dish, there are countless variations, let alone spreading it to other dishes.
Yunzheng felt depressed when he thought about not being able to eat chili peppers in the future. He even wished he could immediately build a ship and send people to go to Nanyang to find chili peppers. This was of course utopianism. At present, the coastline controlled by the Yun family was not long, and there was no navy, let alone a "navy".
"Such a technical unit, but this does not prevent him from leaving such a thought in his heart. Who knows that there will not be enough conditions in the future? People, always have some ideals. As a Hunanese, bring chili peppers to China as soon as possible.
It’s a good ideal to come, isn’t it?
Yunzheng touched his nose and forced himself not to think about such a lofty ideal. He waved his servants to clear away the remaining seats and returned to his room to start performing "The Thinker"
It's strange to say that since I came to this world, I have been very busy - although it seems that nothing has happened to me because of my busyness, I have never had the chance to think about how I will live my life after coming to this world.
Go back? That's impossible. There will never be an Audi A6 suddenly popping up in this world to give me a "kiss"
Then you can be your own young commander with peace of mind? No, sooner or later the young commander will become a great commander. It is no joke to sit on the border for a lifetime, that is called a tire! These nomadic people in the north, first the Khitans, then the Jurchens, and finally
And Mongolia... Do you want us to be gatekeepers for the rest of our lives? What, loyalty to the emperor? Come on, we were born in New China and grew up under the red flag. Such old-fashioned things as loyalty to the emperor are not what we should do!
But, again, although we don’t bother to be loyal to the king, patriotism is a righteousness that has been instilled in us since childhood. We may not love the king or the court, but this national righteousness and patriotism cannot be lost.
How about we work hard and convince the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols, and then we can integrate the nationalities as soon as possible and sing "Fifty-six brothers and sisters are one family"? Uh, that's all.
Isn't it too difficult? With the strength of our Yun family, the total army only has about 200,000 soldiers. We can resist the Liao Kingdom thanks to our Han people's strong military strength, high city walls and deep ditches.
If you want to put down the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols... well, hey, we are not Xiang Yu, Chen Qingzhi, and Yue Pengju... Although we can be considered a first-class strategy game player, the games we play are just games, God knows.
How high are the simulations of those games? You must know that war cannot be simulated by just a few programs!
So we don't have to expect to "sweep thousands of armies", so what should we do? Shall we follow my uncle's lead and become a civil servant? Well, although we are now officially a top talent, politics is the most filthy thing in the world. According to our opinion
Judging from the historical dramas that have been watched, it is not that easy to be a civil servant. Even if you get to be the prime minister, it is not safe - yesterday the prime minister has a lot of things to do today? No, no, this way is better than being a young marshal.
With the financial background of the Yun family, working as "Young Marshal Yun" is a bit tiring and a bit tough, but at least my head is still sound - as long as I don't make any stupid mistakes on the battlefield.
When it comes to having a stable head, it seems that the emperor has the most power, and his head should be the most stable. Is it difficult for us to find a way to get an emperor for fun? No, no, although the Central Army has fought fewer battles, after all, they are well-equipped
Okay, besides, the thirty-six guards in Guandong plus the seventy-two guards in the provinces directly under the central government, the emperor has 108 regular troops, a force of more than 600,000, not to mention that the emperor is financially wealthy, and the Zhou family is also
We have a bad relationship... Grandma, this is too dangerous, so don’t even think about it.
Depressed, depressed!
Forget it, we are still young, let’s just goof around and wait a few years before we take a closer look...
Suddenly an idea flashed in Yunzheng's mind: Didn't the Thirteenth Princess want to make Princess Huai'an? Huai'an is a good place. Huai'an in this era includes Haizhou, and Haizhou is Lianyungang in later generations.
What? What a great naval base! According to the Wei system, the princess of Huai'an can get 30% of Huai'an's income. If overseas trade is launched, won't the money be spent? It's not surprising that there are many people with money, even if she is the emperor
I must be happy when I see my income growing, right?
Alas, it seems that we have also been corrupted a lot by the thoughts of foreign devils. Why do we like money so much? But... Hehe, if I, Marshal Yun, marry Princess Huai'an, it will not be the barrel of a gun, but the money bag in my hand.
Are you done? It’s great! It seems that the key to this matter still lies with our obedient little elf...
Yun Zheng had been hurrying in the past few days. After all, he was so tired that he fell asleep just thinking about it. He didn't know what dirty things were going on in his mind. There was a stream of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he actually showed a hint of coquettishness.

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
If spring is not far away, wouldn’t it be normal to preview your erotic dreams?
