Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 24 On the Importance of Abundance

The symptoms of Lamei seem to be night blindness? !
Night blindness is the inability to see things at night or in dimly lit places, commonly known as blindfolded eyes.However, there are several types of night blindness, one of which is caused by a lack of vitamin A.I just don't know what kind of wintersweet is, but it's always good to eat more things that contain vitamin A.

Thinking about the food list eaten since traveling to the Tang Dynasty, the most eaten meat is mutton; compared with later generations, the variety of vegetables and fruits is pitifully small.

Xue Lang felt that, given the monotonous diet of Tang people, Lamei's night blindness was probably caused by a lack of vitamin A, that is to say, it was temporary, and it could be cured by supplementing vitamin A.

Tang Dynasty did not have vitamin tablets, so it could only be supplemented through food.Foods rich in vitamin A are nothing more than that -

Liver, such as chicken liver, pork liver; carrot; fish.

Pork liver may be eaten by poor families, but families like the Princess Mansion would definitely not eat it; carrots were obviously not available in the Tang Dynasty.Fish... Did people in the Tang Dynasty eat fish?
Xue Lang asked Lamei directly: "Lamei, does the house eat fish?"

Lamei said honestly: "Your Majesty, do you want to eat fish sticks? The cooks in our courtyard don't know how to cook such a big dish. To eat fish sticks, you must find a chef who specializes in fish sticks."

Fish sticks? !
It is sashimi. It seems that people in Tang Dynasty eat fish mainly raw.However, to eat sashimi, you need to find a special chef, which doesn't seem like home cooking.No wonder Lamei thought Xue Lang wanted to eat when she heard Xue Lang's question.

"Fish sticks? Do you want to eat fish sticks?"

The two had already entered the inner courtyard, and Mo Zhu heard what they said, and interjected: "It's not easy for your lord to eat fish cakes, and the mansion only invites a master who specializes in fish cakes to come in to cook them when there are big banquets." .”

Seeing that Mo Zhu was also misunderstood, Xue Lang shook his hand and said, "It's not that I want to eat it, what I mean is that winter plums can't see clearly at night, eat more fish, chicken liver, pork liver, etc. It should be fine."

Lamei asked in surprise: "Is what Lang Jun said true?"

Before Xue Lang could answer, Mo Zhu directly interrupted: "Your Majesty, don't lie to wintersweet. As a servant, how can you enjoy fish sticks! As for pickled things like chicken liver and pork liver, how about it?" Can you show up in the mansion? If the housekeeper finds out, the Lord is fine, but the servants will be punished."

That's right, this is the princess mansion, not my own home, nor the homes of ordinary people. Some things cannot be served on the dining table of the princess mansion, not even the table of slaves. This is the social reality.

Mo Zhu had already prepared hot water, and as soon as Xue Lang entered the room, he brought a basin to wash Xue Lang's hands and face.

Xue Lang nodded nonchalantly while washing: "Since that's the case, then we should eat more fish. Fish is not just a way to eat fish sticks. I will tell the cook tomorrow that if you see someone selling fresh fish when you are shopping for vegetables Fish, buy some and come back, I will teach you to eat three fish with one fish."

Mo Zhu laughed, and gave Xue Lang a blessing: "Thank you, Sir, for your compassion, and the servants will enjoy the blessing with him. Lamei, seeing that the Lord has taken so much trouble for you, why don't you thank him soon?"

La Mei blushed at what Mo Zhu said, she gave a blessing to Xue Langfu, and said shyly: "Thank you sir."

Although Xue Lang thought Mo Zhu's words were weird, he didn't think much about it.In his eyes, people like Mozhu and Lamei are completely loli attributes, just children, and he is a big man, so he doesn't want to care about children.

Therefore, Xue Lang said with a hearty smile: "Actually, I also want to change the taste. Since I came here, I have eaten four tricks, steaming, stewing, and roasting. Try other methods tomorrow, Mo Zhu , remember to tell... by the way, what's the cook's name?"

"Mr. Lang is so noble and busy with personnel affairs, so I have time to ask questions now. Back to Mr. Lang, the cook's name is Xiu Niang, don't forget."

This little girl, Mo Zhu, has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but she is agile in doing things.Xue Lang nodded: "Okay, remember. Mo Zhu remembers to tell Xiu Niang that I want to eat stir-fried vegetables tomorrow, so don't bring me another table of soup."

"Here, my servant will tell Xiuniang, but I dare to ask you, what is cooking? How to cook it? This servant has never heard of it."

Mo Zhu put away Xue Lang's dirty clothes diligently, and at the same time found a dry handkerchief, and wiped the water on Xue Lang's hands, his hands and feet were neat, very resolute.

Xue Lang stood for Mo Zhu and Lamei to fiddle with, and asked curiously: "Mo Zhu, you don't know how to cook, don't you usually eat it?"

Mo Zhu said: "Your servant has never heard of it. Maybe your servant's status is low and you don't have the blessing to share it. However, when the servants go to help with a big banquet in the mansion, you haven't heard of cooking."

Xue Lang was stunned, it seems that the cooking method of frying has not been used yet at this time——

See, once time travels, things that shouldn't be there are brought forward again.If there are historical records in the future, in the Tang Dynasty, the cooking technique "stir frying" was introduced to China with Xue Lang and Xue Youyang... thinking about it is also drunk.

However, if you think about it optimistically, this is also an alternative way of leaving a name in history, right?I just don't know, will there be a place for him when chefs of later generations worship God? !It seemed that thinking about it made him even more drunk.

The picture is too beautiful to dare to imagine!

These things are all things to say, first satisfy the appetite in front of you!As for whether it will become a god worshiped by chefs... I will leave it to future generations to discuss.

So, Xue Lang said: "Tomorrow you call Xiuniang, and I will tell her what to do."

Mo Zhu responded crisply: "Here."

After Mo Zhu and Lamei helped Xue Lang wash up, they took away his dirty clothes.Although candles are lit, the light is naturally insufficient compared to modern light bulbs.Now there is no optical shop to provide glasses, Xue Lang doesn't want to damage his eyes, otherwise, there will be no place to cry when the time comes.

Although he couldn't fall asleep, Xue Lang lay down early, with his hands behind his head, silently lost in thought——

When Xue Lang was in modern times, unless he had something important to get up early the next day, he really didn't go to bed earlier than twelve o'clock in the evening.Now in the Tang Dynasty, everyone’s work and rest habit is to go to bed early and get up early. If you don’t want to be late for work in the future, you still have to adjust your work and rest accordingly, which can be regarded as doing as the Romans do.

Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, maybe you can develop good habits and get sick less?
Xue Lang comforted himself in this way.However, ideas are always full, and reality is always skinny.After lying down for a long time, I still didn't feel sleepy at all, and I couldn't help but think of what Jiyou once said——

Bad habits are so easy to correct, why do you need chicken soup for the soul?Isn't the so-called chicken soup for the soul mostly people who let people continue to indulge their bad habits and firmly believe that they will be successful if they have bad habits?

Thinking of my friends, I can't help but think of those days when I was complained by my friends that "the technology is not as good as a primary school student". Thinking about Demacia, he was really complained by my friends countless times, and now I have a feeling of nostalgia——

Xue Lang was thinking wildly, when he suddenly felt a dark person approaching him, before he could see who it was, a pair of hands were groping beside him, Xue Lang almost flipped over, hugged the quilt and jumped up: "Who? "
