After the previous discussion, the best way is to take the opportunity to jump out of the storm eye of Jiangning City and wait until the dust is settled before cleaning up the mess and picking up the cheap.

As for the way out, he naturally hoped that Li Jing would appoint himself as the supervisor of the army to attack Chu.

These were agreed on that day, but the difference between that time and now was that it was an ordinary prince at that time, but now it was in charge of Chengxintang's archives, workshops, and even a huge freak institution in the computing center.

Secondly, there are industries such as teahouses and lip shops, which are not allowed to let go, but this is easy to deal with. Just throw it to Li Jingcheng and stare at it.

As for Chengxintang, it must always be controlled by itself. When he served as the military supervisor, Chengxintang is his own intelligence backing and needs a trustworthy person to take care of it temporarily.

Li Yu had a bold idea in his mind, but the time was not yet ripe, so he could only buried it in his heart, and even Li Jingcheng didn't tell him.

Then a person needs to coordinate and respond and give orders. Li Yu had a headache before. Where can he find such a Zhuge Liang-like talent? Now that the political sphere of influence in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been established, the ones who should be effective have already been implemented. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people in the court are in full swing and there are no wise men left behind.

But suddenly a Shi Xubai appeared, and he was clearly the best candidate.

So how can I let this person work for me?

He had to give it his own wishes. Shi Xubai cracked the hollow glutinous rice dumpling in a few mouthfuls of teahouse.

I think I am a fellow student in eating and drinking.

So three days later, Li Yu had to go to the kitchen himself.

nnd, Prince, act as a chef and cook for a white dick.

Damn Mr. Shi, this meal is not that delicious. After eating, you will work hard for me!

Duke Zhou was just vomiting, Cai Yong was barely walking on his back, and I was just throwing away the royal family's face as a cheap man. After all, I had to be on the same level as Wu Qi. The surname is Shi, come to the bowl soon!

It's easy to cook, but the problem is that the hardware gap makes people feel a little headache.

In my previous life, many people enjoyed themselves in the kitchen in their spare time, and Li Yu was no exception. When he was a white-collar worker, he would go to the vegetable market every weekend and carry back a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits and melons. After a while in the kitchen, he would invite a few friends to have a drink together, which is also a great joy in life.

But now he understood why Mencius said that a gentleman was away from the kitchen.

Seeing his life, he couldn't bear to see his death, hearing his voice, and eating his meat, which sounded very reasonable and kind, but Li Yu felt that these were all excuses. The main reason was that the kitchen at this time was not a place of peace, and it was expected that the chef was considered a lowly servant. The working environment and conditions were incomparable to future generations.

At this time, China is still mainly stewing and roasting, which often makes the kitchen full of smoke. After all, there are no range hoods in this era.

As for the inconvenience of using the huge stove, and the lack of various seasonings, you have to find a way to match them temporarily, which are all obstacles in front of you.

Fortunately, it was the prince who was in charge of Chengxintang and had a lot of resources in his hands.

Kitchenware, cooking utensils, etc. are not atomic bomb high-tech. Just say a few words and with the skills of craftsmen of this era, you can quickly create a suitable guy.

He directly asked someone to go to the imperial kitchen to find the foreman Wang Eunuch. After gestured, Eunuch Wang patted his chest and said that it was just a few stoves, and it was enough for a day.

Li Yu carefully expressed his doubts. Will this soon affect the intensity? If the cooking is halfway through, the stove will collapse.

Eunuch Wang laughed, "Liulang, you can only use a few bricks to build this stove, let alone the use of glutinous rice juice and loess to bond, so that's the case to build a city wall. Liulang is worried."

{Suddenly I thought, should glutinous rice be called jiangmi, which is in line with the usual characteristics of this book?}

With a stove, you have to consider cooking utensils.

The iron pot has appeared. Instead of calling it an iron pot, it is better to call it an iron pot.

It's similar to the inner liner of the rice cooker in my previous life.

Cast with pig iron to replace ceramics, which have the advantages of fast heat transfer and not easy to break. Don’t improve them without any signs of it.

As for the Chinese iron pot with straw hat that could be fryed, fried, fried and fried in the previous life, it was not revealed until the middle of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the four major cuisines that were well-known in their previous lives, the earliest Huaiyang cuisine was initially established in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, while the other three were the affairs of the Qing Dynasty.

So although it is also China now, it does have two flavors in terms of eating and in previous lives. The cooking methods are mainly stewing and barbecue. At a rough look, it is similar to ancient Europe.

In addition, there are many dishes that Li Yu was frightened by the fact that he never dared to touch - fish sashimi - tassai fish sashimi.

I ate a lot of Japanese food in my previous life, but I respected Xie Bumin, who not only did not eat it myself, but also ordered Taining and Li Jing not to touch it.

These two people knew that Li Yu was reading books in Chengxin Hall all day long, and he was somewhat blindly following him.

As for Li Jing and Empress Zhong, Li Yu also advised him earnestly, but if he listened or not, he couldn't speak.

After all, I could not take out the parasite theory of later generations. After thinking for a long time, I could only take the savages to drink blood and drink blood. By the way, I found out the records that the Khitans in the north like to eat raw sheep and mix onions as an argument.

This is why Li Jing, who has always claimed to be elegant, completely changed his eating habits. As for whether there are parasites or eggs in the fish that he ate before, it depends on whether God blesses the Tang Dynasty.

If the old man truly favored this land, Li Jing would probably have a stomach full of nematodes, liver worms, tapeworms, and then died young.

But judging from the historical itinerary, Li Jing can live for at least ten years, which shows that God did not treat the people of Southern Tang well.

If Li Jing died suddenly now, then Li Hongji took the Tianxiong army back to Jiangning to attend the funeral and forced himself to succeed the throne.

If this is true, Li Jingsui and Li Jingda can't stop him.

According to his personality, the first thing he did after ascending the throne was probably the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Now is the window period for the Northern Expedition. Once troops are sent, you can get a lot of benefits.

However, Li Jing is still lively, which shows that many things are indeed God's will among the people.

The problem of iron pot is easy to deal with. There are a bunch of skilled craftsmen in Chengxintang. Li Yu ran to take Jin Zhuan to make a move.

Jin Dajiang scratched his head, "Master, this thing is simple. There are two ways to make it. One is to cast it with cast iron and sand, and the other is to make it with cooked iron. I wonder which one is to be liked by the king?"

"Then let's make a fuck"

In my previous life, I read "WeChat on the Tip of a Tongue" and introduced the iron pot made. This time, the dishes were mainly fried, with high heat and strong oil. The fast-cooked iron wok should be more suitable than the pig iron pot.

After Li Yu thought about it, he asked Dajiang Jin to make two pants according to the size.

The next day, the kitchen stove was packed and the pot was delivered.

After checking, Li Yu always felt that something was missing.

Yes, it is impossible to adjust the firepower quickly and easily.

In my previous life, I just turned on the gas stove in the city. If the fire is too high and the fire is small, just twist it a few times.

Now we are using stoves. To adjust the firepower, we can only rely on increasing or reducing the firewood, which is very unfavorable for stir-frying, which requires extremely high heat.

When I asked Eunuch Wang, there was a ready-made solution. One was to let a small eunuch squat beside him and use a tube to blow fire. The second was to use an accordion-style artificial blower. The effect was good after opening and closing. This thing was called "其{tuo}".

Seeing how much time is, Li Yu was too lazy to use these old objects and called the master craftsman who made bamboo and wood directly. He gestured again. Two hours later, a square box was added next to the stove.

There is also a handle on the side, which made Li Yu ignite the stove, and then asked a little eunuch to hold the handle and push and pull it repeatedly.

The flame instantly spurted out more than one foot from the stove.

The eunuch Wang from the imperial kitchen and the big smith Jin from the Jin prison immediately turned green.

Without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed Li Yu to reward them with this thing.

"Liu Lang, Liu Lang" Eunuch Wang Pi Hou, obviously has no close relationship with Li Yu, but he also slaps Liu Lang's approach. "This thing can make such a strong wind. If you move to the imperial kitchen, the dishes that the young people will be cured on a daily basis will taste better!"

Seeing Li Yu looking at him with a weak eyes, Eunuch Wang was so guilty that he didn't dare to say it. After all, he was the initiator of "the tea soup of Guanglu Temple"...

However, Jin Dajiang was righteous and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I would like to give you a pattern of this object so that I can imitate it!"

"Oh?" Li Yu was curious. This Jin Dajiang didn't talk much, but his subordinates were quite solid and were deeply trusted by Li Yu.

But now I'm bluntly saying I want drawings, why is this?

Seeing Li Yu looking at him, Jin Dajiang explained: "The young man was born as a blacksmith. He not only knows how to make iron but also knows how to make steel!"

"I understand," Li Yu waved his hand to stop it, "You go to the master craftsman who made bamboo and wood to get it. I just said that I agreed, but remember not to spread it!"

"Yes" Jin Dajiang bowed and left excitedly.

When Li Yu heard about smelting iron, he understood Jin Dajiang’s thoughts.

Steel is a ferrocarbon alloy.

How to control the carbon content in iron is the basic essence of steelmaking.

There are only three methods for making steel in ancient China. The first method is to reduce steel from iron ore by direct reduction. The method is to repeatedly forge it. For example, the Japanese jade steel has good quality, but its production capacity is touching enough to make the Minister of Works cry and the Minister of War.

The second type is that pig iron is stirred and decarbonized at high temperatures, but this can only make cooked iron {low carbon steel in the modern sense}. It is very unqualified to make weapons and is mainly used for civilian use, such as making iron pots, but even cooked iron can be regarded as steel in ancient times.

The third method is the commonly used method of filling steel in ancient China. Pig iron and cracked iron permeate each other at high temperatures, but this method has a huge demand for oxygen in high temperatures. It turns out that the air volume is mostly used to blow the air, and the efficiency is not enough.

Jin Dajiang was shocked by Li Yuming's bellows just now, and then he thought that if this thing could be used for steelmaking, the efficiency of the blowing can be doubled.

Because the bellows can be made very large, the air blowing volume will naturally be large. Due to the source of materials and operating technology, the size of the blowing is limited. Similar accordion-style air blowing machinery has also been well known in Europe at the same time, but it can only be achieved in the size of an accordion.

Europeans used various methods to increase their size, but the results were not good. Until the mid-17th century, Europeans used the push-pull bellows that were obvious to China in the Song Dynasty. From then on, they were completely injected into the cold palace, whether in the east or west.

Moreover, the bellows can be placed on the ground or on the shelf, so that multiple blowers can be used in parallel, which greatly increases the number of blowers.

Therefore, in the eyes of Jin Dajiang, the thing that Li Yu said casually was nothing more than a treasure of gold. With this object, the efficiency of steelmaking can be increased exponentially.

Li Yu knew this. Whether it is blast furnace or electric furnace in modern steelmaking, they had to blow oxygen into it to increase the reaction.

Nowadays, pure oxygen is similar to a fantasy, but it is feasible to blow more air in.

He planned to invite someone to dinner, but accidentally climbed the steelmaking technology tree. Li Yu himself felt a little messy in the wind, and he kicked the sky and the ground.

In my previous life, I was a business student who really didn’t know how to make steel. At best, I knew some principles and knew that electric furnaces should use needle-shaped carbon electrodes. Because the government eliminated small blast furnaces and turned to electric furnaces to make steel, the stocks of a company that produced carbon electrodes instantly soared by 20%, but this knowledge was useless in Nantang at all.

However, since I have created the bellows and look at Jin Dajiang's excited look, these things will be left to professionals to do.

I don’t expect to run into industrial society, but the higher the steel output, the better. Not only can it be used to make weapons and armor, but even the iron pot in my hand, I have to use cooked iron.
