Chapter 271: Food poisoning again

If you want to talk about the best marching dry food, it is necessary to compress biscuits. If you need to use Penghua powder for compressed biscuits, you can't do anything about this. Not to mention that he doesn't need Penghua to do it, even if he can't make it with current technical conditions.

Wang Kuang had never thought that instant noodles were too large, which was not conducive to marching. A bowl of instant noodles was probably not enough for one sergeant to fill, but the same volume of compressed biscuits was enough for two sergeants to have a meal, so Wang Kuang just flashed the idea of ​​instant noodles and rejected it.

Speaking of instant noodles, people in the world think it was invented by Japanese man Ando Momofuku, but it was actually a big special. Ando Momofuku is just the first person in the world to use convenience as a commodity, while the inventor of instant noodles is a genuine Chinese.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yi Bingshou (a great calligrapher and painter, a famous official in the Qing Dynasty) from Tingzhou served as the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, literati and poets often came to his house to gather, recite poems and paint, and the kitchen at home was often busy.

Yi Bingshou then asked the chef to mix flour with eggs and mix them with water and make noodles, curl them into a ball, dry them, fry them until golden, and store them for later use (some say they are cooked and dried). When the guests come, just add the noodles and add seasonings to the water and cook them to entertain the guests.

Once, the poet and calligrapher Song Xiang tasted it very delicious, but it didn't have a name yet, so he said that such a delicious food was not famous, which was awkward. How about it better to name it "Yifu Noodles"?" From then on, Yifu Noodles spread, abbreviated as "Yi Noodles". This Yidu Noodles is the originator of modern instant noodles (excerpted from Baidu).

In this era when MSG is not yet without chicken essence, if you want to make instant noodles delicious, you must concentrate them with broth. The bacteria powder can increase freshness, but it must be cooked. Only soaked with boiling water, the bacteria powder will not only not increase freshness, but will have a moldy smell. Using the soup ingredients concentrated in the broth to ensure that it does not deteriorate is a difficult problem. Therefore, in the era when sealing technology has not appeared, instant noodles are definitely not a good dry food product for marching or travelers.

The marching rations must at least be guaranteed to not break down in one or two months without sealing, so you can only choose one with less moisture and wrap them in oil paper.

Cookies seem to be OK, but they must also be slightly fermented, and the volume will expand during the baking process. Finally, Sun Jiaying came up with an idea, first stir-fry the flour, then mix it in three parts of cooked noodles, and mix it with oil in the proportion of a portion of raw noodles, and then send it to bake according to the mold. In this way, the degree of fermentation can be almost negligible.

When dry food is solved, water becomes a problem. Although there is a lot of snow in winter if it is used to fight against the southwest and the northeast, Wang Kuang, in winter, whether a sip of hot water can be drunk into his stomach will have a significant impact on combat effectiveness. If you need to hide your whereabouts, or if you need to fight in small groups, sometimes it is not allowed to make fire and boil water, and you are afraid that the smoke from the cooking stove will be taken to the enemy.

The only feasible way is to use quicklime, which is a hidden weapon that is unpleasant in martial arts novels. Wang Kuang also likes to use it. Although he doesn't seem to care about it, there will always be a small bag of quicklime on his body. The so-called guardianship is indispensable, especially since Qi Zhong hated him to the core, Wang Kuang has been more cautious. Huang Da cannot be around him all the time.

Therefore, if every soldier has a pack of quicklime on his body, he can use quicklime to heat the food when he cannot make a fire and water. It is not a good idea to boil it, but at least a warm soup can still be taken. If there is an emergency, quicklime can be used as a hidden weapon and sprinkled in the wind, which can almost block ten. However, North Korea and Tubo used lime in the early Ming Dynasty.

Wang Kuang also pretended to refuse the county of Li Lao 2x. It was unnecessary to do three times, at least once. No matter how much you like an official position, you can't do it so obvious. Therefore, Wang Kuang wrote a memorial and asked Xiao Liuzi to take it, saying that he was incompetent and could not bear such a heavy reward from His Majesty. He also said that all over the world was the king's land, and he was willing to offer the fields of Shoushan Village to His Majesty, but he begged to keep a few acres of land as the thought of not forgetting his ancestors.

Such a memorial was naturally written by Wang Kuang, and Lin Ming polished it. If his brother-in-law was a person who refused to suffer losses, Lin Ming would probably have been moved while writing it.

Xiao Liuzi didn't dare to stay for too long. Although the emperor had approved his half-year leave, how could he stay for half a year? As a person who served the emperor in close proximity, he still had the ability to observe his expressions and expressions. The emperor cared about the stone very much, so the earlier the better.

The person Li Shimin asked Xiao Liuzi to bring back to Chang'an was Tuhu. He wanted to confirm from Tuhu's mouth that what Wang Kuang said was not false, and it was also used to block the mouths of the ministers in the court.

When Tuhu went, Li Dadan, who was a translator, naturally had to follow him. So when Li Dadan heard that he was going to Chang'an and meeting the saint, he laughed at him every day during those days. When he went to the palace to see the emperor, I am afraid that everyone in Jianzhou, except for the envoy, Li Zhenjiang and the little Dong family, no one else had seen it before. What a great glory.

After sending Xiao Liuzi away, Wang Kuang rarely had a leisure time. At this time, there was more than a month before the autumn harvest and two months left for the big mattress. This year is also the year of the world competition, but it is still early.

During this period, Wang Kuang also learned a lot of current shipbuilding techniques from Li Yesi. Unlike Wang Kuang's perception, it is not uncommon to have large ships that can accommodate hundreds or thousands of people on the river. Five or six-story tower ships can also be built, and they can also be planted on them.

As for the keel technology and tail rudder technology, iron nails are used to replace bamboo nail connections, rowing and sails have appeared as early as the end of the Han Dynasty. The large dragon boat in Yangzhou, which was 45 feet high and 200 feet long, has the main hall, inner hall, court, and 120 rooms on the middle floor, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people.

What's more, the magic man Zu Chongzhi, who calculated the seven digits after the decimal point of the pi in Southern Qi, also invented a "vehicle" equipped with a slurry wheel and used manpower to push forward with a bicycle wheel. Vehicles and ships can travel more than a hundred miles against the current ("Another thousand miles of ship was built, and it was tested on Xinting River, and traveled more than a hundred miles a day" Volume 52 of "Book of Southern Qi").

This simply subverted Wang Kuang's understanding of ancient shipbuilding technology. He always thought that the technology he mastered could be high. Now it seems that the only place to be useful is nothing more than a theory of reducing the center of gravity and driving the slurry wheel with belts, changing the transmission ratio, which is a little more labor-saving.

Wang Kuang didn't pay attention. The official boat he took to Chang'an was a combination of chariots, sails and rocking. It was just that the pulp wheel was wrapped in the boat gang and exposed only under the water. Otherwise, how could he go from one county to another in a day? The jurisdiction of the county in the Tang Dynasty was much larger than that of the later counties, and it could almost surpass the two larger ones in later generations. The distance between one county was usually more than a hundred miles.

However, the big dragon boat is not the largest ship. According to Li Yesi, the tower ship at the end of the Han Dynasty was more than ten feet high, which is more than one hundred feet, equivalent to more than twenty meters. Just one height is not comparable to that of the dragon boat. The largest tower ship can even accommodate more than three thousand soldiers. This made Wang Kuang very ashamed. Fortunately, he has always maintained a cautious style, otherwise it would be strange if he took out the drawings proudly and did not laugh at people.

The education of later generations is too poisonous. If calculated based on the capacity of more than 3,000 soldiers, it would be at least a ship above 2,000 tons. This made Wang Kuang think of many "firsts" in textbooks. The first 10,000 tons ship was founded in the Harmonious Dynasty, but few people. As early as the middle of the Republic of China, the Jiangnan Shipyard built the first 10,000 tons oil tanker.

The first aircraft was also available in Harmony Dynasty, but the truth is that, as early as the first twenty years of Harmony Dynasty, Mawei Shipyard was able to build water bombers and water trainers in batches.

In addition, the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau also built diesel engines and China's first car in the first decade of the establishment of the Harmonious Dynasty. In the decades of the Republic of China, its technology was not much behind that of Western countries. At most, it was only a three to five years. Instead, it was the Harmonious Dynasty's closeness to the country, causing the gap to grow bigger and bigger.

Naturally, in order to demonstrate the "credit" of the Harmonious Dynasty, the emperors must have hidden the truth of history, otherwise where would the prestige come from?

On that day, Wang Kuang, who was hung up, pulled Li Yesi and asked him to tell him what the layout and structure of the building was like. It would take more than a month for the shipbuilder in Xujiang to come, but Wang Kuang couldn't wait and wanted to set up the improvement plan in the near future. One of the two liked to listen, and the other happened to catch the opportunity to suppress Wang Kuang, and he said it very thoroughly.

Just as we were having a happy chat, we saw Sun Erfeng coming in a hurry. Looking at his expression, something big might have happened again.

Sure enough, when Sun Er saw Wang Kuang, he called Xiaodong's family again and again. It was bad, and someone was poisoned again."

Someone was poisoned again? Wang Kuang couldn't sit still when he heard this. Now it is the most critical time for Jianzhou to upgrade. He can't be careless. Perhaps, such an incident can defeat the hope of Jianzhou's upgrade to a deeper level than the eighteenth level hell.

Such a big thing happened, Li Yesi, as the general of the town, couldn't sit still, and even went to the inn with Wang Kuang to see what happened, listening to Sun Er's words while walking.

It turned out that yesterday a wealthy businessman from the north gate ordered a banquet for guests at the wealthy party. Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman was disgusted at noon today, dizzy and wanted to vomit. He went to see the doctor and said that he was poisoned. The wealthy businessman's family came to the door to ask for an explanation.

When I arrived at the entrance of the inn, I saw many people surrounding me. A gorgeously dressed woman was sitting on the ground, crying relentlessly. Several family members next to me were holding sticks in their hands, and it seemed that they wanted to do anything at any time.

If it weren't for the Fulai Inn, Wang Kuang was the one who was watching, if it weren't for the people watching, the family would have rushed in and smashed it. Life was at stake. They wouldn't have considered that Wang Kuang was now a Fenglian, and there was also a brother-in-law who was in front of the county magistrate and the envoy who was very close to him to support his waist.

Depending on the situation, the family should have been forced to do so. On the way, Sun Er had already told Wang Kuang that this wealthy businessman could be regarded as the pillar of the family. If he had to have a few things, his family would be collapsed.

When he saw Wang Kuang coming, the woman sat on the ground and rushed over. Regardless of being in public, she hugged Wang Kuang's thighs with both hands. You have to be the master of the slave."

Since the incident happened, before we could understand the situation further, Wang Kuang could only comfort her and let her get up and talk about the incident in detail. Also, is there any trouble now? What the doctor said, it is okay to say that the neighbors here are all witnesses."

The woman sobbed for a while, and then she said that yesterday, a guest came to the house. The chef of the house was injured when he went up the mountain to pick the goods, so he took a leave of absence and went home to take care of him. Therefore, he ordered a banquet at your shop at the little boss. He ate well last night, but at noon today, my husband said he was hungry, so I heated up the leftovers from last night for my husband to eat, but who would have thought......"

"When the meal is hot, are you there?" After hearing this, Wang Kuang felt a little enlightenment.

"Because my husband sent all his family to help load and unload goods early this morning, so the food was heated by the slaves. They didn't use others to pretend to be others. After the heat was finished, they took it directly for my husband to eat. However, less than half an hour after the husband finished eating, he shouted that he wanted to vomit and was dizzy. Now he was in the pharmacy. Fortunately, he delivered it in time. The doctor gave it to him and gave it a better now, but he hasn't woken up yet." The woman was not unreasonable. It was the truth that the rich businessman didn't wake up and lost his backbone, so he clinged his family to ask for an explanation.

"Does your husband have enemies on weekdays?" Wang Kuang was about to ask, but Lin Ming rushed over. When he was walking outside the crowd, he heard the woman's words clearly. Therefore, he asked, something big happened in his brother-in-law's store, and he couldn't sit still when he heard that, and was afraid that the family would cause trouble, so he took the yamen runners away.

"My husband is cautious in daily life and never offends others. I have never heard of having a grudge with anyone outside, nor have I ever felt that he had any money and money. Also, if there were leftover food in the past, it was left for the family to eat, but the chef still didn't return today, and the husband kept shouting that he was hungry, so I heated up the leftover food." Seeing Lin Ming and the yamen runners, the woman remembered that the little Dong family was an official and had a brother-in-law who was a county magistrate. Now she was a little scared. Lin Ming asked, and she immediately asked what Lin Ming wanted to ask and answered vindiciously.

The meaning of this is that the enemy has ruled out the possibility of poisoning the enemy. The reason is that the food is caused by the food. As for whether someone wants to poison the servants of this family, the consequences will harm the owner by coincidence. The possibility is also very small. If you want to poison someone, you must poison the food of this person. Before the food is hot, who will be given food for people or will it be dumped?

After hearing this, Lin Ming also felt it was difficult and according to the law. Since it was involved in his brother-in-law, he should avoid it. He has no right to interfere in this case now, and even Huang Liang is not able to do so. He must be an official who has no direct interest in Wang Kuang, such as Changsun Yu, who comes to interfere in this case.

No, after hearing this, Wang Kuang looked at the audience and asked who had the leftover food from yesterday? He wanted to eat the leftover food, and didn’t touch the chopsticks after cooking."

At that moment, many people said yes, so Wang Kuang asked them to take it, and asked Sun Er to move out a burning mud stove in the inn, and took a spatula out for later use.

Soon, all the leftover food from those families was brought. Originally, there were also some in Fulai Inn, but in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Kuang used the ones in the store.

The few leftover meals I received were overeating. Now there is water diversion in Jian'an City, and those wells are used to store food. In the summer, the temperature in the wells is low, so there will be no problem keeping them overnight.

In front of everyone, Wang Kuang heated up several leftovers, and then poured them to several wild dogs walking on the street. A strange thing happened. Three wild dogs and two of them ate the leftovers. However, an old skinny dog ​​whimpered and lay down on the ground after a while, kicking his limbs up, as if it was painful.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became uproar. The dog was so painful after eating leftovers, but the other two were fine?

The woman was shocked when she saw it. Looking at the painful appearance of the old dog, she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Does your husband like to put garlic when eating vegetables?" To be honest, Wang Kuang was not very sure before the experiment. Now that he saw the effect, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was the fortune of the protagonist.

"When I came to Xiaodong's house, I don't like eating garlic. When I came to order a banquet yesterday, I specially told the master not to put garlic."

"That's it. Look, there are three dogs in total. Why are two dogs fine after eating leftovers, but the old dog has something to do? The first thing is related to physical fitness. The old dog is old and weak and cannot resist it, while the other two are strong and can resist it.

There is another problem with leftovers. If no one turns the cooked vegetables, it will be fine. But if you eat them, the chopsticks will naturally be stained with human saliva. Human saliva is actually poisonous, but it is less toxic. Generally speaking, nothing is wrong. But if it is stained with the food, after a night, the toxicity will be expanded, and the food at this time will be toxic."

This is actually a problem of nitrite poisoning. Vegetables contain nitrates and trace amounts of nitrite, and even fresh ones are not spared. There are bacteria in human saliva. Bacteria can accelerate the decomposition of nitrite from vegetables. If the amount reaches a certain level, it is dangerous.

But Wang Kuang cannot explain to everyone that it is a bacteria, and can only be explained by toxicity. As for whether to put garlic or not, that is another statement.
