let go of that priestess

Regardless of whether it is barbecue or ale, they are fresh eating methods or drinks that have never been tasted.

All the girls' eyes lit up when they heard it, and they shouted "Thank you sir~" softly, and then sat at the table impatiently, waiting to taste it.

But having said that, isn't it a little too flattering for adults to serve them personally?

Hmm, their adults are so approachable~

Jiang Hongdou looked at the reactions of the girls, then at Ji Cheng, walked up to him, and looked at the barbecue he was preparing with his head tilted.

"Meats of all kinds are cut or sliced, skewered on sticks, and set over a fire.

Hmm...is this BBQ?Are you sure you won't let them down?

In the past tribal times, the prey we hunted would also be grilled over the fire. "

"That's different~"

Ji Cheng smiled and shook his head: "In the past, when roasting prey, you would separate the parts of the prey, and cut them so finely?

Grilling a whole prey, or a large piece of meat, is very difficult.

And making food into different shapes, the difference in taste will be very large.

Remember that heat conduction equation I told you about? "

"......"

The corner of Jiang Hongdou's mouth twitched when she heard this, she naturally remembered it.

At the beginning, what Ji Cheng told her about cooking was also a science, and then he showed it "a little bit", drawing two piles of symbolic formulas on the ground that looked like heavenly scriptures.

She still remembers this incident...

"Okay, okay, but I remember that after I was with you, you would also cut the prey into small pieces and roast."

"That's still different." Ji Cheng shook his head again: "At the beginning, the conditions were limited, but there was no iron grill, and the grill pan was grilled with an open fire."

"Aren't you using an open flame now?"

"No, this is just burning charcoal fire first, and after the fire goes out, I will use the residual heat to grill."

"Huh, is that so?"

Jiang Hongdou raised the interest of exploring: "Listen to what you mean, it will taste better without an open fire?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Because grilling over an open fire tends to burn the outer layer of the food, while some parts inside may still be raw, affecting the taste.

If it is smoked and roasted on a dark fire, it can be heated evenly, and finally the outside is charred and tender on the inside. At the same time, it can be slowly and repeatedly brushed with oil and seasonings to make the ingredients more flavorful. "

While Ji Cheng was explaining, he had fiddled with the burnt charcoal, spread the grill net and the grill pan on the grill, put the prepared ingredients on it, and carried out the operation just mentioned——

The skewers are evenly turned, and the pork belly in the grill pan is turned upside down from time to time. Then, use a small brush to spread the ground chili pepper powder, salt, refined and fragrant lard, or very fresh bird oil, and continue to roast.

After a while, the extremely fragrant smell permeated the surroundings, and Jiang Hongdou and the girls couldn't help swallowing hard.

"Looks good, looks delicious!"

Jiang Hongdou tried her best to maintain the image of a saint, staring straight at Ji Cheng's hands:

"This new cookware called a grill is awesome! Did you build it today?"

"Well, it took a lot of work to build today. I used the power of the dragon to rush to build 23 barbecue grills today."

Ji Cheng said, "In addition to the three grills here, there are now twenty barbecue grills in the center of the square."

"Eh? There are also in the center of the square?"

"That's right, there are more people there. Today I will reward everyone, celebrate the establishment of Dongxu City, and have fun with the people. We are not the only ones celebrating."

Ji Cheng nodded: "Of course, the barbecue and beer provided for free today is not only for celebration, but also to take this opportunity to warm up the official restaurant we will open soon."

"Oh!" Jiang Hongdou understood: "Will restaurants introduce barbecue in the future?"

"Yes, and I believe that after everyone has tasted the barbecue tonight, the restaurant's business will be very good in the future~

No, the first batch is baked, try it and you will know what I said is true. "

As Ji Cheng spoke, he handed a handful of barbecue skewers to Chu Qiong, who was acting as his deputy, and Chu Qiong distributed the skewers to the girls who were waiting to be fed.

And Ji Cheng personally picked out a piece of grilled pork belly from the barbecue plate with iron tongs, put it in a green vegetable leaf, folded it up, and brought it to Jiang Hongdou's mouth.

"Roasted pork belly will be very delicious if eaten like this, come on, open your mouth, ah—"

"Ow!"

Bite down the ginger red bean in one bite. Now that the food is delicious, I don't care about the image anymore.

And the next moment, the sharp contrast between the crispy vegetables on the outside and the tenderness of the fat and thin pork belly on the inside instantly conquered her taste buds.

Bite firmly, then chew, the fragrance of vegetable leaves mixed with the hot meat oil gravy, flowing along the teeth.

Gudong.

I couldn't help swallowing in my throat, and then there was only a mouthful of aroma and a strong desire to take another bite.

good to eat!

It's really delicious!

Jiang Hongdou's eyes lit up, staring at the baking tray, without Ji Cheng's further words, he picked up the iron tongs, repeated Ji Cheng's operation just now, wrapped the meat in vegetable leaves, and ate it.

Seeing her greedy appearance, Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Don't just eat barbecue, try it with two sips of ale, and drink as you go."

"Oh." Jiang Hongdou heard the words, and turned his eyes to the wine barrel beside him, "Is the ale a new product produced by the brewery that Xiong Manman is in charge of?"

"Well, after a period of practice and accumulation, this is the first non-industrial use, drinkable alcoholic beverages."

"Okay, then I'll try it!" Jiang Hongdou picked up a porcelain cup, scooped two scoops from the wine barrel, and drank it in one gulp.

Ji Cheng immediately asked, "How is it? Is it good?"

"Well, it's delicious!"

Although it is a little bit bitter, it is more of the aroma of liquor and wheat, and it is inexplicably heady when paired with barbecue.

After a while, Jiang Hongdou ate and drank, her cheeks were already flushed, and she was a little excited when she was slightly drunk, hiccupping and giggling.

"Awesome! Ji Cheng, you are so amazing! With barbecue and ale, our new business, hiccup, will definitely be successful~!"

Chapter 300 National Culture

Thanks to the strong support from the government and the preheating of the barbecue with ale that night, the catering industry quickly covered Dongxu City and its subordinate villages and towns.

Today, there are two towns and four villages in Dongxu City's subordinate villages and towns.

The town-level local government in the west direction is Heishan Town, which was developed from the original Heishan Village.

And in the Heishan Plain to the west of Heishan Town, another Pingyuan Village was established, mainly using the geographical advantages to develop grazing and breeding, and provide Ming with better food materials.

At the same time, the huge grassland under the jurisdiction of Pingyuan Village can also be regarded as a buffer zone for contact with the west. If there is any situation in the future, Dongxu City can receive news earlier and respond.

As for the town-level local government in the east direction, it is the newly built Muyang Town.

The construction site of the town was determined by Ji Cheng after deliberations and discussions with the Central Council Office and field investigations. It is located in the east of Dongxu City and will mainly serve as a transportation hub in the future.

Muyang Town is connected to Dongxu City. At the same time, Dongyang Village, Nanyang Village, and Beiyang Village are established in three directions from Muyang Town to the east, south, and north to accept human tribes invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as population buffers and population diversion. , and rationally distribute the roles of different occupational populations.

The locations of the three villages have their own characteristics, some provide wood and building materials suitable for local growth, and some provide specialty fruits and vegetables.

The introduction of cultivation cannot solve all problems with the current technical conditions, so the corresponding practitioners will be assigned to various places.

With the flow of population, in addition to the catering industry, industries such as transportation, accommodation, and postal services have developed rapidly.

The steam vehicles dispatched in the past to transport materials and materials or transmit information have been unable to keep up in terms of efficiency and perfection.

The Ministry of Transportation of the Central Council of Dongxu City established the first government-run passenger station and post office, and set up a transportation and communication network, together with the accommodation hotels and restaurants under the responsibility of the Ministry of Economics and Trade, to meet the needs of people for various reasons. .

Autumn goes and winter comes, winter goes and spring comes.

In the following year, a series of changes after Dongxu Town was upgraded to Dongxu City finally took shape, and the dust basically settled.

Council Hall, chief office on the east side.

Ji Cheng and Jiang Hongdou were looking at a newly drawn map.

The map is based on the world of mortals, marking towns, villages and all roads that have been built and to be built.

In other words, this can be regarded as a map of human civilization.

Ji Cheng looked at it for a while, then pointed to one of them and said, "Here, we will improve the soil environment here in the future."

Jiang Hongdou looked at the words and said, "You mean the saline-alkali land between Dongxu City and Heishan Plain."

"Well, this saline-alkali land is located in our abdomen, almost separating Heishan Town, Pingyuan Village and the towns and villages behind.

The most taboo is that the territory of the territory does not border on the east and west.

We need to tightly integrate our forces into one body, which is very necessary in terms of long-term development, guarding and other aspects. "

In the Warring States period in ancient times, land was also a land to be bordered by the city. The reason is very simple. Jiang Hongdou nodded and said:

"Understood, I remember that when Tongxu Road was built, you mentioned that you wanted to build an underground reservoir in Baqiedong to irrigate the land.

So when do we start improving saline land? "

"Now, this is not to say that this matter is urgent. The improvement of saline-alkali land is not due to a lack of food. Our territory has sufficient planting area.

To the southeast of Muyang Town, a large piece of fertile land can be expanded, enough to feed the entire population.

Hmm... Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not contacted all the human tribes in the world of mortals, we can already speculate based on the current situation that the total population of the human race is not large.

There are about 200 big and small tribes in the world of mortals?The total number of people, maybe only about [-]?

This is also normal...

Only after sedentary life starts, overproduction, food surplus, does the population explode, and we are at this stage.

In other words, building water conservancy to improve saline-alkali land is a long-term project for future generations, but we should start now. "

Ji Cheng paused as he spoke, and continued with a look of helplessness on his face: "And this matter will not be soon even if we think about it."

"Well."

Jiang Hongdou blinked and guessed: "It's related knowledge, you don't understand?"

"Well, that's about it. I only know a little bit about it. I know that improving saline-alkali land requires drainage, washing, reducing the salt content of the soil, planting plants that are resistant to salt and alkali, and fertilizing the soil. I don't know the specifics."

Ji Cheng spread out his hands: "Let's explore slowly."

"In the end, it proposed a direction, so that we can avoid a lot of detours."

With gentle eyes, Jiang Hongdou tiptoed to kiss Ji Cheng's lips.

"Then I will start to deal with this matter now, do you have anything else to explain?"

"How's the road going to the Seaside Volcano going?"

Ji Cheng pursed the sweetness on his lips, and suddenly thought of this matter: "Referring to the construction time of Tongxu Road, they should have completed it by about the same time.

Then shipped back the basalt to build our wedding house"

"..."

Jiang Hongdou gave Ji Cheng a gouged look, her cheeks flushed slightly: "The latest report is that the repair is almost done, and it should be within this month."

"Oh, good!" Ji Cheng smiled and looked at Jiang Hongdou for a while, until he looked shy at her and lowered his head.

"Okay." Jiang Hongdou said angrily in a low voice: "You should also pay attention to what new mines you can discover this time.

Also, the construction of this road has effectively accelerated the migration of human tribes.

Now the population of Muyang Town and the three lower-level villages is growing rapidly, and the development is also impressive. With such a rapid development, is there anything that needs attention? "

"This, basically nothing, the work of assimilation still needs to keep up, strengthen the popularization of basic knowledge, and strengthen education."

Ji Cheng thought for a while and said: "Unifying the human race is not only about gathering all the human races, unifying the currency, unifying the basic units, etc., but also unifying our ideology.
