Chapter 135 Braised

The work of dredging and removing blockages was carried out step by step under the command of Zheng State.

To be precise, it should be dilamination and dam building, because it is divided into two parts, one part is dilamination and the other part is dilamination.

The more technical matters such as dredging are mainly commanded by Zheng State.

Shen Bing is responsible for building the dike.

Zheng Guo did not actually start cleaning the Guangwu Stream as planned before.

This is because Zheng State considers that there is water in the Bian River, it will be more troublesome to clean the dredging... The water is flowing, and the soldiers who clean the dredging have to row their boats and use long poles with hoes to dig to the bottom of the river bit by bit.

This method of digging is afraid that it will not be able to complete the dredging cleaning after digging for a month.

So Zheng State decided to intercept the traffic first.

That is to block the mouth of the Yellow River and make the Bian River dry.

As soon as the river water is clear and silted, it is much more convenient... The soldiers can directly dig into the river with short hoes and radish baskets. Soon, baskets of river mud were passed down and then transported to the fields by carriages.

The reason I have to pour it into the field is because if I fall nearby, I worry that the river will surge and then rush the river mud into the river, and the result is a waste of work.

On the other hand, it is what Chen Bing said before that the "war of destruction of the country".

Since we are going to destroy the country, the fields of Wei will belong to Qin in the future. Why not think about the fertility and harvest issues in advance?

The black river mud is a good fertilizer!

However, these are not what excites the Qin army soldiers even more.

As soon as the river water was dry, the river was full of river fish jumping everywhere.

Yang Duanhe might want to reward the soldiers, and at the same time, in order to supplement military rations, he specially ordered the construction soldiers to catch fish for half an hour.

The scene was so lively, like a bumper harvest, soldiers everywhere crawling and rolling in the river mud, catching baskets of river fish...

The river fish at this time were really big, with all the tails as thick as arms.

Chen Bing thought that this may be related to the underdeveloped fishing technology in this era. The technology is not developed, so fish have a longer survival time, so it is generally larger.

If this is the case in modern times, the electric fish pole will penetrate into the water, and the fish will all turn over and float to the surface, and even the fish with a small finger will be electrocuted.

That night, the Qin army soldiers had a beautiful meal of river fish.

Of course, Chen Bing showed his cooking skills at this time.

There is no way, it is not possible to do it. People in this era only know how to cook and roast, or cut it into sashimi and eat it with meat sauce.

Chen Bing himself was also greedy and only he could do it. If he didn't do it, he would have nothing to eat.

Look, when Chen Bing said he would fry a braised fish, they stared at Chen Bing in a daze.

"Fry? What's the way to do this?"

"Braised? But put it on the fire?"

Shen Bing was speechless for a moment...

Meng Liang came up with interest and said:

"Subby, why don't you show me and let me open my eyes?"

"What ingredients are needed, I will get them for you right away."

Shen Bing listened to the second half of the sentence.

Well, why didn’t I expect Meng Liang to make some ingredients?

Although this braised fish is not difficult, it requires a lot of flavors: sour, spicy, sweet, and add some green onions.

There was no shortage of oil, and when the last time the oil was boiled, there was only a lot left. Shen Bing asked Fatty to put it in a pottery and seal it and kept it in the carriage.

Sour, there was no vinegar in this era, but there was plum sauce, and they called this thing Xi (xi).

It's sweet, no sugar, but honey.

There is nothing to do if it is spicy. There are no chili peppers in this era, but there are peppers and ginger.

It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to get these things, even the doctor Chen Bing is not good, but Meng Liang, who can enjoy them, is certainly not "ordinary soldiers".

Sure enough, just in just one incense stick, Meng Liang brought back some of them, and the portion was quite large.

He said with a smile:

"I don't know how much my husband needs, so I just brought more!"

Later it turned out that Meng Liang's approach was right, because it was not enough to eat just one.

Then he was responsible for making the fire, the fat man set up a wok, washed the fish, prepared the tableware, and Meng Liang was the assistant...

This made Chen Bing feel like a chef was cooking.

But wasn’t Chen Bing a chef in this era?

Who made others know what they did?

If you have the ability, what eight major cuisines can you show off?

In fact, Chen Bing only dares to be so arrogant in this era, and he only knows some home-cooked dishes...

Less gossip, Chen Bing added some oil to the wok, and after the oil became warm, he put the river fish cut into the wok... "Wao Wai" immediately wafted a unique fragrance.

The surroundings couldn't help but exclaim "wow", and I don't know if I was scared by the sound or sighing about this new approach.

Because it was open to the wild, the nearby craftsmen were also attracted by the fragrance and came over, and they all swallowed.

When Chen Bing turned around, he wanted to "get the blame", but let it go.

After all, this wok is different from a modern pot. It is not only heavy but also has no handle. If you accidentally overload it, you will make a fool of yourself.

After frying, put it out of the pot, add meat sauce, ginger, vinegar, honey, etc. to the oil pan to make the taste better, and pour the golden fish on both sides...

Everyone exclaimed again.

Meng Liang couldn't wait to ask with the chopsticks:

"Mr., can you eat it?"

Chen Bing answered without thinking:

"cannot."

Meng Liang asked:

“Why?”

Chen Bing snatched the chopsticks from his hand and said:

"Because I haven't eaten yet!"

As he said that, he grabbed one.

Meng Liang:...

Then everyone didn't care about the appearance, and they tried to make a big move with one chopstick.

Meng Liang didn't have time to get the chopsticks, so he reached out and grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth...

It made a "hmm" sound from my throat when it entered my mouth, and then I took a few more bites. After I finished it, I sighed:

"Delicious! Sour, sweet, fragrant... all kinds of flavors are mixed together, and it is so mellow."

When I had to pick up another piece, I found that it was gone long ago.

Meng Liang licked his fingers with all his heart and said:

"Is this what the Sirfu said to fry?"

"Why is it called braised fish?"

Chen Bing was asked by this question.

I have eaten this big and I have eaten it countless times but I really don’t know why this method is called “braised”.

So he said nonsense:

"Because... after it is frying, it will be as red as it is burnt, so it is called braised!"

Everyone said "Oh" and said, "So that's it!"

Meng Liang also nodded: "It's indeed appropriate! If the red one is burned, it will be called braised fish!"

At this time, the craftsmen discovered the benefits of the lard, and they squeezed them up with wooden bowls and said:

"Subby, can you evenly use the oil and fat to me?"

"Give it evenly to me!"

"And I..."

As a result, the pottery jar was divided into lard after a few strokes. Soon the military camp was filled with the sound of fried fish making, and it was heard one after another.
