History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 185 Huang Dao Po

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Oh my god, I really don’t know this big guy!
Wan Ning can’t sleep (Guan): To be honest, when she talked to us about this person in the dormitory, we were all confused. Is this person really there? But later we got to know him and realized just how powerful he is!

Fuling (Guan): Yes, but to be honest, has there ever been a time when the person she said was not awesome?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed!

Netizen 1234567890: Hahahaha, this is true!

Su Yue looked at a bunch of people in the comment area discussing who this Du Shi was, and said: "Okay, I also know that you are not familiar with this guy, so let's see for ourselves what he did! "

Contribution to water conservancy
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the most significant development of irrigation in the Yangtze River Basin was in the Tangbai River area, a tributary of the Han River. The irrigation of the Tangbai River was relatively developed in Nanyang, Dengxian, Tanghe and Xinye areas of Henan today.

The Tangbaihe area is an erosion and alluvial plain with an annual rainfall of about 900 mm. The climate is mild and suitable for crop growth.

It was developed earlier and the economy was quite developed by the middle of the Western Han Dynasty.

Farmland water conservancy developed rapidly in the late Western Han Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty (48 BC - 33 BC), Nanyang Governor Zhao Xinchen made special contributions to the local water conservancy and agricultural production. Therefore, he was supported by the local people and was known as "Zhao Fu".

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang's water conservancy industry further prospered, and Du Shi also made great achievements in this aspect, promoting the development of local agricultural production.

According to historical records, Du's poem "repaired the Pichi, expanded the land and fields, and made the county more prosperous".

Promote the development of water drainage
The so-called "water drainage" is a device that uses water power to push and blow air, and is used in metallurgy.

The early invention of pig iron was China's outstanding contribution to world metallurgical technology.

To obtain liquid pig iron, a higher furnace temperature is required.

Where there is wind, there is iron, and blast technology is of great significance to the development of pig iron smelting and casting.

"Book of Rites" says: "The son of a good man must learn to be a Qiu."

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, skin bags have been used to blow wind, and sons have followed their fathers. Young craftsmen must learn the skills of sewing skin bags.

This shows that early smelting craftsmen attached great importance to the production of blowing equipment.

The development of the blowing device from human power (human platoon) to animal power and water power (horse platoon, water platoon) was a major innovation in iron smelting technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Due to Du Shi's advocacy, water drainage was widely used in Nanyang area at least in the first half of the 1st century AD.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Du Shi" says that Du Shi "made water drains and cast them into agricultural implements. He used less effort and saw more achievements, so the people could use them."

The efficacy of water rows is not only higher than that of human rows, but also much higher than that of horse rows. "Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Han Ji Biography" writes: "In the old days, to make horse rows, hundreds of horses were used for each cooked stone.

It takes a lot of effort to make more arrangements.

Ji took the long stream as a water drainage and calculated its benefits, which were three times that of the previous one. "

In view of Du Shi's achievements, the people in Nanyang, Henan, compared him to Zhao Xiong, saying: "There was Zhao Fu before him, and Du Mu behind him."

The "Wang Zhennong Shu" of the Yuan Dynasty described in detail the shapes of the vertical wheel type and horizontal wheel type water drainage pipes, and also drew pictures.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: What what? Du Mu?

I send my longing to the bright moon: Hey! I’m from Nanyang! Why haven't you heard of it?

I can't sleep at night (Guan): It's normal, but to be honest, these two are both powerful masters. It's a pity that the productivity at that time did not allow it. If these things were promoted early, their reputation would not be lost. Pay attention. , this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Who says it’s not, but fortunately, their names have been written down.

Come to the bowl quickly: Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t know who made these exquisite things.

Jiangnan has been in mist: Yes, this is a pity.

Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "The next one is an old lady. She was originally an ordinary old lady, but because of her skills, she is constantly praised by us!"

Huang Daopo (1245?-1330?), also known as Huang Po and Huang Mu, was originally from Wunijing, Songjiang Prefecture (now part of SH City). He was a famous cotton spinner and technological reformer in the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty.

She was a child bride when she was young. She could not bear the abuse and lived in Yazhou (the seat of governance is now Yacheng Town, SY City, HAN Province) for about 40 years. She learned cotton spinning techniques from Li women and improved them. She summed up the concepts of "wrong yarn, color matching, heald thread, The weaving technology of "Puhua".

During the Yuanzhen period of the Yuan Dynasty (1295-1297), he returned to his hometown and taught the villagers how to improve textile tools, manufacture special machines for rolling, elasticizing, spinning and weaving, and weave cotton fabrics with various patterns.

Huang Daopo played an important role in promoting the rapid development of the cotton textile industry and cotton planting industry in the Yangtze River Basin. Later generations praised her as the "female textile technician" who "clothes and quilts the world".

After his death, villagers in Qiong and Shanghai established temples to worship him.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Ahhhh! That is to say, I just happened to draw Huang Daopo today!
His Majesty Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty: I am different. I was beaten violently by Huang Daopo today!
I can't sleep at night (Guan): Hahahahahaha, you two are really enough!

Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Yes! But to be honest, Huang Daopo and Mapo are definitely my two favorite old ladies!

Kirityu: Hahahaha, Mapo tofu, right?

The pig came to the bowl quickly: I'm a little greedy when you say that. I'll order takeout tomorrow!
Fuling (Guan): Doesn’t it mean that my wife, Wang, doesn’t know that you guys are praising me?

My charming and short-lived ancestor: No, as everyone knows, Wang Po sells her melons and boasts! So Wang Po, you should praise yourself!

Jiangnan has already encountered mist and rain: Hahahahahaha! A bunch of shows!
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: But to be honest, talking about Mapo Tofu makes me really hungry!
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Hahahahaha! That is to say, if Yueyue shows the making process of Mapo Tofu now, I will see who can resist the temptation to blow up the kitchen!

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Ahhh! That is to say, you should not release poison late at night!

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I agree! Very much agree!

I can't sleep at night (Guan): What a vicious idea! It’s easy to get hungry in the middle of the night!

Don’t allow the world to grow old: Who says it’s not the case! Yueyue, don’t listen to him!

Su Yue read the comments, then looked at the food stall where she was sitting, and suddenly realized that this idea was not impossible! After all, she can eat now, but these people may not!

With Su Yue thinking this, she opened her hand quietly and said, "Then let's see how to make Mapo Tofu! Don't worry, I have food here, so you won't be hungry! "

cut tofu

The first choice for making Mapo Tofu is soft tofu. First cut the tofu into thick slices about 2cm wide. Then cut all the tofu into small cubes. Put the cut soft tofu into a bowl and set aside.

Prepare fermented bean paste and bean paste
Then scoop a spoonful of tempeh onto the chopping board and chop the tempeh into small pieces. Pour another spoonful of bean paste onto the board, and chop the bean paste into small pieces. Put the chopped tempeh and bean paste into separate bowls and set aside. Prepare some more garlic and flatten it first. Then cut it all into minced garlic and set aside. Make mapo tofu and prepare some minced meat that has been chopped in advance.

Blanched tofu
After the water in the pot boils, add a spoonful of salt to the pot. Add a little soy sauce, then pour the cut tofu into the pot and blanch it. Adding salt and soy sauce can give the tofu a base flavor, and adding soy sauce can also add color to the tofu. After cooking the tofu for one minute, remove from the water and set aside.

Fried minced pork

Then pour oil into the wok, and when the oil is hot, add the minced meat. You can stir-fry until the minced meat is cooked until it becomes dry and fragrant.
