Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 171 Chapter 168
There is no vegetable oil in this era, but animal oil is available, but basically no one uses it for cooking.

Ordinary people can't even eat enough, and their eyes turn red when they see it, so why would they think about using animal oil.

Moreover, although pigs are also raised in this era, raising pigs requires a lot of food, and how can ordinary people afford it.

Therefore, in this era, pork is only affordable for those powerful and powerful, and ordinary small landlords cannot afford to raise pigs.

The limited food production is the fundamental reason that restricts the expansion of pig farming.

After all, there is not enough food for people, so where is there anything for pigs to eat?

Fortunately, with Chen Yuan's current status, he would naturally not be short of pork.

Therefore, Chen Yuan refined several cans of lard.

Stir-fried vegetables with lard, that is a fragrance.

Solved the problem of oil, and the problem of wok.

Iron pots have been around for a long time in this era, but because of the quality of the iron, it’s okay for cooking rice and vegetables, but if you use it for cooking, it may not be interesting.

But just use it, because the smelting technology cannot be improved in a short while.

You can't use black iron just to make an iron pot.

Leaving aside whether it is extravagant or not, the key is that black iron is not suitable for making woks.

The most suitable wok is wrought iron, that is, wrought iron or something.

Many officers in the army did not have weapons made of hundred-wrought iron, so Chen Yuan naturally couldn't use hundred-wrought iron to make an iron pot.

Although the amount of iron used is not much, it hurts morale too much.

Therefore, I had to use ordinary wrought iron.

Fortunately, it is enough to fry ordinary home-cooked dishes.

As the food was served, the unique aroma of stir-fried vegetables began to overflow, which immediately made Chen Yuan's stomach growl.

To be honest, this trip to the north was not only physically exhausting, but also my stomach was wronged. I ate all the cooked vegetables, and a bird had already faded out of my mouth.

No matter how polite Chen Yuan is, he must be ready to feast.

At this moment, a servant came to report that it was an old man from Yingchuan who came to visit.

Chen Yuan was taken aback, old man from Yingchuan?

What old friends do I have in Yingchuan?
Could it be a liar?
But there shouldn't be any liars who dare to lie to their own heads so boldly.

Looking at the food in front of him, Chen Yuan couldn't help frowning.

"Has the visitor ever identified himself?"

"No, I just said it was your old friend."

Chen Yuan struggled for a while, and finally said: "Si Qin, go prepare the same dish again."

Si Qin nodded and arranged for someone to do it.

Chen Yuan told the servant: "Please come in."

It wasn't that Chen Yuan was rude, the key was that the visitor didn't reveal his identity, so Chen Yuan naturally had no reason to go out to greet him.

Moreover, because the visitor interrupted Chen Yuan's eating, Chen Yuan was not in a good mood, let alone go out to greet him.

Chen Yuan knelt down and waited for someone to come in.

After a while, the servant brought in a handsome young man,
Chen Yuan took a look, this guy looks good.

His brows are clear, his expression is calm, and he has an extraordinary bearing.

Chen Yuan got up and saluted, "If you dare to ask who is the respected guest, he claims to be an old friend of Yuan, but He Yuan doesn't have the slightest impression."

The visitor bowed to Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan's face changed drastically when he opened his mouth.

"Chen Qun and Chen Wenchang in Xiayingchuan, in order to meet you, you lied about your old friend, please forgive me."

Chen Yuan's face turned ugly first, and then he sneered: "The Yingchuan Chen family is indeed worthy of being a famous family, and they are very capable, so they came here so quickly."

After he paused for a while, Chen Yuan's expression became calm.

"May I ask your Excellency to visit late at night, what is your business?"

Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Chen Qun remained calm.

"Why is Zichu so disrespectful, he lost the way of hospitality, why don't you invite me to sit down and talk?"

Seeing Chen Qun acting like this, Chen Yuan calmed down a bit.

It was still influenced by the original owner.

Logically speaking, with Chen Yuan's personality and mentality, he shouldn't be indifferent to Chen Qun.

It seems that the original owner has resentment.

"So, let's ask Brother Wen to sit up."

Chen Qun was also not polite, Shi Shiran sat down, looked at the food on Chen Yuan's case, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because Chen Yuan's food was something he had never seen before.

It just so happened that Chen Qun was also worried that he had no excuses to bring up the topic, so wouldn't this just come to his door?
Chen Qun pointed to the food on Chen Yuan's case and said: "Dare to ask Zichu, what is your food, it emits such a strange fragrance, it makes the group salivate."

At this time, Chen Yuan's mood had calmed down, and when he heard Chen Qun's question, he replied, "All I eat are stir-fried vegetables."

"Why stir-fry?"

"Stir one or several kinds of vegetables in a special concave pot, use the heat transmitted from the fire to the iron pot as the carrier, add oil, seasonings and a spatula and stir the vegetables until they are cooked. This is stir-frying."

Smelling the strange fragrance, Chen Qun couldn't help but said, "Can Zichu share a meal with me?"

Chen Yuan was a little surprised.

According to historical records in previous lives, Chen Qun had a beautiful appearance, was good at talking, had a dignified style, and was moved by etiquette.

It is not recorded that he is a foodie.

As a food lover, I naturally like to share food.

Seeing that Chen Qun wanted to eat, Chen Yuan would naturally not be stingy.

Besides, Chen Yuan had ordered his servants to prepare it just now, and it happened to be brought up at this time, which was full of cases before Chen Qun.

Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Wen has something to say later, please enjoy the delicious food now."

After speaking, Chen Yuan started to eat first.

Just kidding, if Chen Qun hadn't interrupted, Chen Yuan would have started.

Stir-fry loses its flavor once it cools.

Chen Qun was not restrained, and started eating with the chopsticks.

The lethality of cooking to the people of the Han Dynasty can be described as a nuclear bomb level. Chen Qun, who wanted to talk about it while eating, was attracted by the delicious food, and immediately lost the interest in talking, and concentrated on dealing with the food in front of him.

Chen Yuan was also hungry, and had no intention of speaking at this time.

Thus, there was this strange scene in the hall.

One is Yingchuan Chen's Yingjie, and the other is Jingzhou Biejia, a general in the army.

At this time, they all turned into Lao Tie, focusing on cooking, with nothing else in their eyes except food.

However, Chen Qun is a member of the Chen family in Yingchuan. Even if the food in front of him is so delicious, he still manages to import silently, and the dining etiquette is called a standard.

On the other hand, Chen Yuan, who can only gobble up food like a voracious eater, still babbles from time to time, which is out of style.

This made Chen Qun, who had put some attention on Chen Yuan, sigh secretly.

After all, he was used to being in the outfield and lost the Chen style.

If Chen Yuan heard this, he would definitely laugh.

People's life is a joy, I eat at my own house, I can eat whatever I want, I can smack my mouth when I want to, and beat me if I don't accept it.

It's still bothering you to have a meal.

Fault!

Besides, Chen Yuan had ulterior motives in doing this.

Finally, after Chen Qun was half full, he couldn't bear it any longer. He stopped his cup and threw his chopsticks, saying: "The master said: 'If the table is not upright, don't sit; if you don't cut rightly, don't eat; , don’t listen’, why did Zichu make such a sound?”
