I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 327 [1 More] 327

Liu Tan never expected that the glass that was burnt out in the end was the same color as a beer bottle. For a while, he didn't know whether he should be happy because he saw something familiar, or depressed because the glass was not transparent enough.

Originally, the craftsmen were excited because they finally burned the colored glaze, but now they also became uneasy because Liu Tan didn't have such a happy look on his face.

Bi Gao asked cautiously: "Your Highness, is this colored glaze not good enough?"

Liu Tan came back to his senses and said, "As Liuli, it's pretty good."

He looked at those craftsmen who looked quite worried, and said cheerfully: "Reward!"

The craftsmen immediately rejoiced. His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory has always been very generous. With this reward, they can have a good year this year.

As for the fear caused by the dead before, it has disappeared at this time.

After Liu Tan let them be happy for a while, he said, "The preliminary goal has been achieved, but it is still far away from my goal."

The craftsmen who had received the rewards were very motivated at this time, and they all hoped to achieve His Royal Highness's goal as soon as possible, so as to get more rewards before the Chinese New Year.

So the craftsmen immediately patted their chests and said: "Your Highness has any orders, just tell us, we will do our best to share your worries."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "I hope you can find out the reason why the colored glaze turns green. This goal may not be easy to achieve. If you really can't find the reason, then try to make the colored glaze as transparent as water."

The craftsmen were all taken aback when they heard this, and the enthusiasm brought about by the reward just now cooled down instantly.

A more experienced craftsman said: "At this time, if you can find a veteran who smelts colored glaze, you may be able to avoid a lot of detours. Your Highness, please enlighten me."

Liu Tan nodded and said, "You study it first and I will send someone to look for it later."

It was not easy to find a craftsman who could make colored glaze. Although Liu Tan said so, he still took the lump of colored glaze back and prepared to study it.

Maybe it was easier for him to find the reason than to find the craftsman.

Because with the passage of time, basically all the chemistry knowledge I learned at the beginning was returned to the teacher, but he still remembered that the glass turned green because there must be some kind of metal in it.

As for what kind of metal it is...to be verified.

First of all, it can be determined that it is not lead-barium and calcium-sodium, because the ancient glass of flower planters can be called lead-barium glass, no matter what color it is, it must contain these two elements, while Western glass is mainly calcium-sodium. same.

So other than these, most of the sand is iron and aluminum, or iron oxide or aluminum oxide.

For iron, maybe you can try magnetic separation, but aluminum oxide... Liu Tan can't think of a good way now.

In fact, magnetic separation is also very troublesome. In later generations, there were magnetic separators that could separate different metal minerals, but now...the only thing Liu Tan can do is to let these sands walk away from the magnet.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of magnets here. Liu Tan directly asked people to make a groove, covered the bottom with magnets, and then placed it in an inclined state, and asked people to pour sand into the groove from above.

However, he was worried that this kind of magnetic separation was too rough, so he simply asked people to make a few more long grooves, and then fired them again.

After he had arranged all these, Liu Che had already returned from the outside with his people.

After Liu Tan got the news, he rushed to the Longevity Palace immediately, and when he saw Liu Che talking and laughing with Lu Xuan, he knew it was a good time.

He observed for a while, and felt that even if Lu Xuan turned around and walked with Liu Che, he should not have to worry about anything. It seemed that the two of them got along very well.

In fact, if Lu Xuan hadn't tried every means to seduce his son, Liu Che would have appreciated Lu Xuan quite a lot. This kid is capable of writing and martial arts, and he doesn't talk much, but he is very smart and good-natured. , can coax people very happy.

After seeing Liu Tan, Liu Che smiled and said, "I and King Wusun have caught a lot of fish, go and watch them."

Liu Tan: ...

So he came all the way here to be a cook?

Forget it, his father is leaving soon. He didn't get some fresh dishes for his father to try because he was busy before, so it's not too late to make up for it now.

Liu Tan greeted Liu Che and turned around to go to the dining room.

Halfway through the walk, he saw a young eunuch standing beside Bu Fan come over with a distressed expression on his face and said, "Your Highness, the fish we prepared...is not enough."

In order to prevent Liu Che from eating wild fish from unknown sources, Liu Tan had people prepare fish long ago, in order to replace the fish with farmed ones after they entered the dining room.

Liu Tan was a little surprised and asked, "Not enough? How many fish did you catch?"

He had someone prepare a dozen or so fish yesterday to replace them. Although he certainly couldn't eat so many fish, he should know the size of the fish Liu Che caught, so he had to find ones that were about the same size, fat or thin. not enough?

The little eunuch smiled wryly and said, "You will find out when you go and have a look."

Liu Tan walked over and was shocked when he saw it.

There are two ponds in the dining room that are specially used for fish farming. Yesterday, one pond was specially cleaned to hold the fish that Liu Che and the others caught.

As a result, the pool is now full.

Liu Tan calculated the time when Liu Che went out, counted the time they wasted on the road, and added the preparations for camping. After the calculation, it was impossible for Liu Che to go straight up unless the fishing rod was lowered, and he could still catch fish. There are so many.

Liu Tan felt a little bad all over: "How much did the father catch?"

The little eunuch followed him out, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty said it was boring for him to fish alone, so he asked someone to dig a few ice holes to fish together, but most of them were fished by him and King Wusun together."

Liu Tan gritted his teeth: Lu Xuan!

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Don't worry, Father must also know that there are so many fish that you can't eat, we just pick a few and make them."

The little eunuch said: "But... Your Majesty chose the biggest fish and said that he must make this, and it must be a whole fish."

Liu Tan took a closer look and found that there was indeed a very big fish in the pond. That fish looked at least as long as his arm. If it lived for another two years, it would probably become fine!

There must have been no such big fish in the dining room pond before, so the problem now is to either really cook this fish and serve it up, or to find another way.

Liu Tan never dared to just give Liu Che a wild fish to eat like this. He looked at the fish and thought for a while and said, "Catch it up, knock it out, find a few more fish, and put them together according to its size!"

Miao Rui on the side was about to kneel to Liu Tan's brain hole, but he still whispered: "But, in that case, Yu's body would be loose. If His Majesty finds out..."

Even if the put together fish looks flawless, it is easy to find the marks of the fish body being cut by a knife when you eat it. Don't even think about it.

Not even Liu Tan.

Liu Tan wiped his face and said: "Now you go find bamboo, chop the bamboo into thin bamboo threads, and then string the fish bones with bamboo threads, and glue them together with other things."

Miao Rui was stunned for a moment and then happily said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Liu Tan waved his hand, what's the matter, now he not only has to know how to cook, but also has to know how to fake.

But those who quickly went to find the bamboo fell directly into the sand - roll away.

In the entire northern border country, only Gungun has bamboo, and the rest are already formed bamboo products. You can't use those things in the fish that the emperor eats, right?

So it's best to use fresh bamboo, but those bamboos are the property of Tumbler, and basically every Tumbler that goes in will kill one.

Although Gun Gun has been raised to be less aggressive, everyone is still quite scared when looking at its teeth and bear paws.

Later, the breeder who changed Rolling couldn't go in.

Gun Gun: Food protection!

Liu Tan could only go directly to the Panda Garden with a blank face, thinking that if he made more noise, he would not cook today's meal!

After seeing Liu Tan, Gun Gun rushed over and hugged his leg, acting coquettishly. After seeing Liu Tan directing people to cut its bamboo, he yelled twice unhappy, but he didn't make any more threats.

Liu Tan patted its head, thought about taking it away, and then threw it to Liu Che and Lu Xuan to play, and also to find something for them to do.

Bamboo can't be used directly after being cut, it needs to dry the moisture in the bamboo first.

Liu Tan looked at the bamboo that was growing well and said simply: "Don't waste it, let's make a bamboo tube rice by the way."

Bamboo rice?Everyone looked at Liu Tan in a daze, and Liu Tan stood there directing: "This is very simple, put all the water and rice into the freshly processed bamboo tube, then cover it tightly and throw it into the charcoal fire. Add a little glutinous rice and bacon, don't put too much!"

This method is really new, but out of trust in Liu Tan, everyone threw the chopped bamboo tubes into the specially found charcoal stove according to the way he said, and sent people to watch from time to time.

After all, Liu Tan only knows how to cook, but he doesn't know when it will be cooked, so he can only choose one person to keep looking through it to ensure that it will not be overcooked.

In the process of ordering people to handle the bamboo, Liu Tan began to think about a question: what should the big fish do?

Now those fish that need to be skewered to pretend to be big fish have been selected, but they can’t be skewered raw. When the time comes, it’s time to do it again when it’s scattered. It’s best to process it first, and then skewer it after it’s cooked. , and then cover it up, then it will be safe.

Liu Tan looked at the fish and thought about it for a long time, and felt that the easiest fish should be the fish with sauce, because even in the process of eating with sauce, it can cover up the unnaturalness of the fish bones as much as possible. Unless someone gnaws on the fish.

But Liu Che... probably no one would dare to let Liu Che eat fish bones.

Liu Tan thought for a while and finally made a decision: make West Lake vinegar fish!
