Chen Xiliang

Su You used a quill pen to add the last number to the test notes, and closed the notebook: "That's it, the knife strip is made, and the next step is to see the craftsman's craftsmanship. You go to rest first for the big stone. After you have rested, you can get a few finished products out.

.Ouch! My glutinous rice flour..."

I hurriedly ran back to the castle. As soon as I entered the door, Atun Chizun carried him by the collar to Mr. Fan's study.

Adun Chizun put him down and said, "Old Fan, this kid ran to the kitchen first after entering the door. Is he probably hungry?"

Mr. Fan said: "Mingrun, is it done?"

Su You said: "It's basically finished. The process has been finalized and the formula has been finalized. All that's left is fine-tuning. That doesn't take a day or two, so I let Da Shi go to sleep, but he spent two whole days.

Didn’t sleep a wink.”

Azun Chizun's face was full of anxiety and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say anything like asking Shi Tong not to go to sleep.

Su You smiled and said: "General, don't rush now. When Da Shitou wakes up, you can discuss the price. My glutinous rice flour has been wet for a week. If I don't make it..."

Azun Chizun was so angry that he stamped his feet: "What are you talking about! When can't you eat it? Xiaoyou, that steel, that steel is really good?"

Su You thought for a moment: "Well, in terms of steel quality, it is better than your short sword, and this kind of steel can be used to make long weapons."

Chen Zhen and Chao Gu were passing by the door carrying a leopard. When they heard this, they turned around and came back: "Mingrun, is the steel made?"

Su You smiled and nodded: "It's done!"

"Then give me my sword quickly!" Chen Zhen didn't seem to have any doubts about success.

Su You was dumbfounded: "You are so shameless, does Prefect Chen know?"

Chen Zhen's father is Chen Xiliang, now the magistrate of Huazhou and a famous official of Meishan Qingshen.

He was not an ordinary awesome person, Su You thought he was even more awesome than Bao Gong.

The old man was also an orphan when he was a child, but he was very studious. When he was sixteen years old, he was about to become a teacher. His elder brother wanted to embarrass him and asked him to collect more than 300,000 yuan in interest that his family had given out, so that he could study.

At that time, the old man gathered all the people who owed money, and in front of them, he burned all the IOUs with a fire, then clapped his hands and went to study.

After he finished his studies, he also introduced his brother's two sons to study, and he acted as their teacher. Then the three uncles and nephews went to Beijing together and passed the imperial examination in the eighth year of Tiansheng.

Is it difficult? Don’t think so? Maybe... it depends on the right person?

When he first entered the officialdom, he met a monk named Haiyin Guoshi when he was serving in Changsha County. He frequently visited the Queen's house and made friends with some powerful people, so he forcibly occupied the land of the local people. No one dared to look at it.

he.

After taking office, the old man took over the matter and directly arrested and convicted the monk. This not only shocked the people in the county, but also shocked the court. He was soon promoted to the position of Prime Minister, and then became the Secretary of the Kaifeng Prefecture.

It happened that Shen Yuanji, a relative of the family, was stealing and killing people. This time, even the officials personally spoke softly to him: "I know that you hate evil as much as I hate you, but the Shen family is the queen's natal family after all. Can you please give me some face?"

Well...of course not, how can the old man care about this, arrest people, and interrogate them!

It turned out that Shen Yuanji, who was usually very vicious, was actually a coward. When he met someone more ruthless than him, he frightened himself and fell to his death.

The Shen family must tell Lao Chen, so the emperor ordered the impeachment of Lao Chen and several officials.

Lao Chen said that this matter only related to me. He put all the blame on himself and was dismissed from office because of the crime.

In the first year of Huangyou's reign, the emperor asked him to promote Hebei and Zhihuazhou. When he was in office, he transferred Shi Weiguan to accuse him of increasing or decreasing prices without authorization.

Soon Wei Guan was appointed as a bachelor of Longtuge and was in charge of Kaifeng's political affairs.

However, Lao Chen didn't care about his former boss and the new boss, and directly wrote to the court.

Didn’t the man named Wei say that I was wrong? Come on, come on, please allow the court to allow us to debate in front of the emperor.

As a result, after some exchanges in the court, things turned around. The emperor believed that Lao Chen was the politically correct one and directly dismissed Wei Guan from his official position.

Then the emperor said, Lao Chen, you are really good, I like it very much, how about you, the bachelor of Longtuge, come?

In the end, the old man didn't buy it. Officials, please don't mess around. I am at odds with the transporter. This alone cannot mean that I have no fault at all.

Then he rolled his sleeves and went back to his old job in Huazhou.

When the Yellow River was flooded and it was about to burst, the old man asked the river envoy to guard the embankment together with the imperial army. He lived directly in the house where the river was about to burst.

The officials and the people took turns crying and shouting to persuade him to leave, but he remained determined to lie there until the flood receded.

Su You was not only convinced but convinced by such a powerful man, a powerful man, and a man of great fortune. He looked at Chen Zhen with disdain: "Tell me, how do you resemble your father?"

Chen Zhen was very dissatisfied: "My father only burned three hundred guan of IOUs, but I gave away a sword worth 1,500 guan. In what way am I inferior to him?"

Su You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't even bother to complain. Am I asking you to compare your prodigal skills with your father?

After all the fuss, Shi Tong had already gone to bed anyway, and the finished product was still not available, so Atun Chizun and Mr. Fan had no choice but to let Su You go get his things.

The rice noodles have been spread out for six days and have absorbed enough moisture. When squeezed with your hands, the rice noodles can form into balls without falling apart. This kind of rice noodles is called Hui Noodles.

Directing the tribe's dietary servants to operate, add sugar to water, put it into a pot to dissolve and boil, then purify it with egg whites to remove impurities, soak the sugar, continue to boil the sugar, then take it out and filter it, stir and cool, and crystallization will appear again. This is called sand casting .

At this time, add sesame oil and continue stirring until more and more sugar granules are added. The sugar and oil are fully mixed. After cooling on the chopping board, use a rolling tube to roll it into fine powdered sugar and sift it to obtain icing sugar.

There was no rose pickled sugar in Erlin Department, so Su You used some honey.

After fully kneading the flour and icing sugar honey, grind it finely with a rolling tube. Then, put it into pots in layers.

First fill the bottom with one-sixth, then put two-thirds of the mixed peach kernels in the middle layer, and then put the rest into the third layer. Use a copper plate to flatten each layer and pound it tightly.

The next step is to stew the cake. Place the potted cake base in a hot water pot to air for a while, then remove the pot and let it sit to regain moisture.

After dinner, Su You began to read without hesitation.

When he got up the next day, the rice cake made yesterday was already soft and dense. Su You asked his servants to slice it into pieces and serve it to everyone: "To celebrate our success in steelmaking, the first portion of this peach slice cake should be given to Da Shitou!"

Shi Tongnan smiled and said: "Hey, Master, don't be ridiculous. Without you here, I'm afraid no one would be able to recognize that that thing can change steel properties."

Azun Chizun nodded repeatedly: "Exactly! We have been guarding this mine for so long, and all we got is brittle iron that is not suitable for use. Who knew that this thing could turn Dali iron into good steel!"

Peach slice cake has fine powder, thin and soft slices, white color, and sweet taste. The peach kernel flavor is rich and it is also very popular.

After dinner, everyone went to the workshop to see how the knives were being made.

The Shi family's soil application is a unique formula, which even Su You doesn't know. Make a cutting edge with a knife blade, mix in the soil application and wrap it around it. Use a bamboo strip circle to remove the mud from the edge, and use a stylus to modify the texture. After drying

Put it in the fire until it becomes red, then quench.

When he took out the knife blade again, Chen Zhen shouted in surprise: "It's bent!"
