Chapter 48, Compressed Cookies

"Good knife, good knife." He Daqing looked at each knife carefully and praised it repeatedly.

The importance of a good knife to a chef is self-evident, otherwise He Daqing would see it like a mouse sees rice.

The knife Jiang Yan took out was the workmanship of Zhang Xiaoquan. No matter it was made or had a steel mouth, it would be strange if it was not good. But in order to avoid loopholes, Jiang Yan polished off all the information on it.

Didn't you see that the eyes of the other two chefs who were looking at this set of knives turned green and quickly said to Jiang Yan: "Little brother, are there any such knives? If you can get a set for Lao Peng, let me tell you the price."

, easy to talk about.”

"Brother, let's talk in detail later." Jiang Yan naturally agreed to them.

Just kidding, there are dozens of such sets of knives in Jiang Yan's space. He took them out today just to see if he could sell some. After all, there is no use for this thing if he keeps it here.

The steel used in the knives is also relatively ordinary steel. This world already has craftsmanship, otherwise Jiang Yan would not dare to take it out even to death.

"Uncle He, these three sets of knives are my first gift."

Jiang Yan's words didn't cause much trouble except for the knowledgeable Chef Ji and Yi Zhonghai. They just felt that this thing was too high-end and very beautiful. They quietly waited for the next part.

"Uncle He, your eyes are open to you." After saying this, Jiang Yan took out two books from his arms. One was written "Su Zhai Shi Lu" and the other was written "Palace Cuisine Code". These two books

The books were two cookbooks that Jiang Yan had picked up at a street stall in Liulichang.

"Su Zhai Shi Lu" records the preparation methods of vegetarian dishes, while "Palace Cuisine Code" records the preparation methods of some dishes in the Qing Dynasty palace.

"Give this to me." He Daqing took the two books and flipped through them. He looked at Jiang Yan and asked in an uncertain tone.

"It's the apprenticeship ceremony. It's up to you whoever you pass it on to in the future. How about these two great gifts from Uncle He? Are you still satisfied with them?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, it's just that this gift is too valuable." He Daqing said with a beaming smile, not forgetting to carefully put away the two cookbooks.

"Senior Brother He, you are not authentic! Show me, we can discuss it with each other." The two chefs next to him were a little unhappy. They just glanced at it, but now He Daqing took it away like a treasure.

.

"Two senior brothers, don't worry. We will definitely discuss it together when we have the chance. It's important to accept disciples. It's important to accept disciples." Knowing that he couldn't evade it, He Daqing had no choice but to use a delaying strategy.

In my heart, I complained a little to Jiang Yan. He could just give good things secretly, so why make such a big show of it.

However, he turned around and said to Jiang Yan: "Xiao Yan, don't worry, except for the Tan family cuisine that I can't teach, I will try my best to teach him the rest, but whether he will succeed or not depends on his own efforts."

He Daqing was a smart man and knew the meaning of Jiang Yan's gift, so there was no need for what Jiang Yan was saying.

Everyone had a lively apprenticeship banquet together and finally dispersed, leaving only two masters, Jiang Yan, Li Kang and Peng Lianhai.

"Master Li, please take a look at this thing." After Jiang Yan said this, he still took out a paper bag from his pocket. After opening the paper bag, he gave two compressed biscuits to Masters Li Kang and Peng Lianhai respectively.

Taking out the compressed biscuits was something Jiang Yan did after careful consideration.

In a few months, it will be time for the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country will face the War to Resist M and Aid C, which will be called the Battle of the Founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations.

In that battle, our volunteer soldiers were brave and fearless. They used outdated weapons to fight the armies of 14 countries in the United Nations, which demonstrated our national and military prestige, so that no country looked down upon us later.

The victory of this battle greatly enhanced our national confidence and pride. It also consolidated the new democratic power, broke the myth of the invincibility of US imperialism, and won a relatively stable and peaceful environment for domestic economic construction and social reform.

Just as the chairman said, "Keep your punches open to avoid a hundred punches." It was precisely because of this battle that the foundation for everything that followed was laid.

In my previous life, I was also a member of a generation that was "born in the new society and grew up under the red flag." Although I experienced the baptism of the economic tide, my patriotism remained unchanged.

What's more, I have received patriotic education since I was a child, and I once swore an oath under the red flag to inspire myself to be the successor of communism.

Although I was only twelve years old when I traveled to this era, I couldn't go to the battlefield, so I just wanted to contribute. I couldn't just watch and do nothing! At least I couldn't pass this threshold in my heart.

Although I was a pseudo-military fan in my previous life, and although I knew a lot about that war, if I were asked to draw those specific troop deployments, marching routes, etc., I would be absolutely blind.

After talking about it, even if you draw it and say it yourself, how do you say it and how do you explain it to others? You may have to accept investigation.

So since I can't change the direction of history, and I may not be able to avoid tragedies, can I use the memory of my previous world to make some changes to it, even if I can save a few of my predecessors?

So Jiang Yan, who had made up his mind, seriously thought about what he should do, how to put himself out of the situation and help others and add his own strength.

After thinking about it, I can only intervene in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Of course, I have also seriously considered this situation in terms of weapons.

But it is a pity that although I am relatively familiar with some weapons of later generations, if I were to draw the production drawings of these weapons, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In future generations, I am just an ordinary person, and it is impossible for me to come into contact with these things.

Then he could only pay attention to other aspects. The first thing Jiang Yan thought of was food and clothing.

From the information of later generations, we know that it was not that the army did not prepare cotton-padded clothes when they entered North Korea. It was just that they were thrown away because of the march. Besides, these were cotton-padded clothes for hundreds of thousands of people, and the few things in their own space were not enough.

Use it! My little arms and legs don’t have that much energy.

So I just thought of food. I still clearly remember the scene in the movie "Battle of Changjin Lake" where everyone was eating potatoes and fried noodles.

The making of fried noodles in this world is also very simple. It is made of 70% wheat flour, and the rest is mixed with 30% corn flour or soybean flour and sorghum flour. After frying, 0.5% edible salt is added.

He had begged Grandma Lu to make this thing for him. To be honest, it was really not delicious. After eating it, Jiang Yan admired the volunteer soldier's way of eating fried noodles and snow in one bite.

After admiring him, Jiang Yan started to pay attention to the compressed biscuits in his own space. Although it was just like eating too much food, in general it was more nutritious than fried noodles and provided higher calories.

The most important thing is that it is easy to carry and does not take up much space. At the same weight, it lasts longer than fried noodles.

The recipes for compressed biscuits in later generations are almost completely open to the public. You can search a lot of them on the Internet, and the production process is not too advanced. It should not be difficult to copy them in this world.

However, he didn't know anything about the production of this thing. Professional things naturally need to be done by professional people, otherwise Jiang Yan wouldn't ask He Daqing to help him hire a white-paper master.
