Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 962: Bean sprouts!

After pointing out a few small mistakes in the greenhouse that Han Jiazhuang built to Hu Hanyun, Li Zexuan hurriedly left.

"Lady, do you have soybeans or mung beans at home?"

Back to Chang'an's home, Li Zexuan asked Han Yuxi in the courtyard directly.

Yes, he wants to get some bean sprouts.

Although greenhouse vegetables can provide vegetables on a large scale in winter, they can’t quench their near thirst. It’s less likely to have to wait for nearly two months before they can eat them. Yesterday, the vegetables they ate were all served from the palace of Wei. .

It's harmless to do it once or twice, but if it's too many times, it's not so beautiful.

The small piece of bean sprouts in the field of Lao Hu's in the afternoon made Li Zexuan's eyes bright. It takes a long time for the vegetables in the greenhouse to mature, but the bean sprouts are not needed! In this season when vegetables are scarce, the crisp and refreshing bean sprouts feel much better than big fish and meat!

"Msang-gong, there should be long beans (lǜ, the same sound as green) at home, but what is soybean~?"

Han Yuxi heard the sound, thought about it, and asked strangely.

Mung beans and soybeans have been cultivated in China for thousands of years. They existed before the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ancients called mung beans green beans. Although they are different in words, they have the same pronunciation. So Li Zexuan said mung beans, and Han Yuxi can understand his meaning.

But soy beans are different. At this time, there is no such name as soy beans. It is generally believed by later generations that the term "soya bean" was first introduced in the "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" of the Tang Dynasty (the book was written between 718 and 726). ), "Youyang Miscellaneous Cu" and other books appeared, all of which were in the language of Shu and soybean before.

About soybeans, there is another interesting story. During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ang, a strange incident occurred in the capital city of Chang'an: the price of soybeans, an agricultural product, was originally low. gold! It is said that Tang Wenzong loves big breasted women, and there is a maid surnamed Wang, who flew up to a branch and turned into a phoenix only because of an abnormally prominent part, and was promoted to Zhaoyi and became a celebrity beside Emperor Wenzong.

With this successful precedent, the concubines in the harem courtyard began to buy and hoard soya beans in large quantities, and they must eat every meal. Because according to the theory of Chinese medicine, soybean has a certain effect of breast enhancement. With the help of the concubines' panic buying, the price of beans in Chang'an city has risen faster than modern house prices!

"Uh...it's soybeans, lady, do we have soybeans in our family~?"

Li Zexuan patted his head, gathered the memory of this body's predecessor, and quickly changed his words.

"Hmm! Yes! What does Xiang Gong want soybeans and green beans for?"

Han Yuxi answered.

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Hey! Lady, you will know it by then!"

After that, he happily went straight to the kitchen and asked for a scoop of mung beans and a scoop of soybeans from the chef, Aunt Zhao, and soaked the two kinds of beans in clear water. In his previous life, Li Zexuan’s grandmother’s house often To make bean sprouts, he is quite familiar with the steps of growing bean sprouts. Soaking beans in water is only the first step. According to his grandmother's experience, the beans must be soaked for at least 8 hours before proceeding to the next step.

"Msang Gong, what do you make beans for? Is it because you want to grind tofu?"

Han Yuxi followed in and couldn't help asking after seeing what Li Zexuan had done.

When Li Zexuan heard this, he turned around and looked at Han Yuxi's chest with a smirk and said: "My husband, I only eat tofu, but I can't make tofu!"

"What did you say, Xiang Gong? Aunt Zhao is still here!"

Han Yuxi's cheeks are blushing, angrily.

Although she didn’t understand what "eat tofu" meant, but seeing the nasty smile on Li Zexuan’s face, she guessed what she meant, secretly saying that her mate sometimes looks like a gentleman, and sometimes he looks nasty and bad. Yes, it's really special!

Aunt Zhao outside the door quickly coughed and walked away.

Li Zexuan saw Han Yuxi look ashamed and couldn’t bear to tease her anymore, so he went back to preach: “Soaking beans for her husband is to let the beans sprout. Although we have two greenhouses to grow vegetables, we want to eat the vegetables inside. It will take two months to say less. After the beans sprout, take the sprouts and stir-fry them in a pot. It is also a delicious dish! Before the vegetables in the greenhouse come out, this dish is a very good substitute!"

Han Yuxi is obviously not the kind of boudoir girl who doesn't eat fireworks and doesn't know about farming. She frowned and said, "My husband, this bean has been soaked in the water, I'm afraid it will not sprout, but it will become smelly!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Of course he won't be allowed to soak in the water all the time. There are still more steps! When tomorrow morning, the husband will take out the beans and put them in a bamboo sieve covered with wet gauze. Then put the sieve in a basin filled with water. The basin should not be too large, so that the beans can breathe.

The bamboo sieve needs to be covered with another piece of wet gauze, and finally a bowl with a little emphasis is pressed on it. The weight of the bowl can make the bean sprouts stronger. After that, water the beans three to six times a day to keep the beans moist. After drenching, continue to cover it with wet gauze~IndoMTL.com~ On the fifth day, the bean sprouts on the corners have grown, and there are already roots, ready to eat! "

Han Yuxi listened carefully, and at the end, she asked: "Miangong, how do you know so much? Have you done it yourself before?"

It was mainly Li Zexuan's pretentious look, which made her wonder if Li Zexuan had made bean sprouts before, so she was so surprised.

Li Zexuan touched his nose. Although he hadn't done it personally, he had seen his grandmother do it many times.

"Ahem! Be it!"

Li Zexuan gave a dry cough and said vaguely: "In any case, lady, you will see what the bean sprouts look like in five days, and you can taste this deliciousness!"

Han Yuxi put her hand in the basin, gently stroked the soybeans in the basin, and raised her head and said: "Msang Gong, there is also Yanhuang Academy in Zhuangzi that needs you. You still have a lot of work to do, so I just leave it to you. Let the concubine do it! The concubine body remembers all the steps you mentioned earlier, and it is not a troublesome matter. The concubine body will definitely do it for you!"

Li Zexuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's good! There is a lady of labor!"

He is very relieved about his wife's ability to do things. In some matters, Han Yuxi's carefulness even made him feel inferior. The daughter-in-law he married seemed simple, but it was not.

"Msang-gong, Dad already knows that you are going to promote greenhouse vegetables on the Zhuangzi. He said that since you are confident that you can grow vegetables in the winter through this method, you can use this method to make the other six villagers in our family become rich in one fell swoop! But Dad said there is one thing you might have overlooked. He asked his concubine to remind you!"

Han Yuxi took his hand out of the basin, and suddenly said to Li Zexuan seriously.
