Chapter 20 Barbecued Pork Buns and Five Animal Exercises

Zhao Yi understood why Wang Jian did this.

You can tell from the drinking he did earlier that he is an alcoholic.

Fried peanuts, a top-notch snack that goes with alcohol, have an unparalleled appeal to alcoholics.

The oily and crispy taste of fried peanuts is unmatched by other side dishes.

“This is called Peanut.”

"It's called peanuts. Such a great dish to go with wine, why haven't I eaten it before? How come there are so many good things in your village?" Wang Jian said with emotion.

"Maybe it's God's blessing." Zhao Yi said perfunctorily.

After all, he couldn't possibly tell Wang Jian that it was a gift from the system.

If there was no system, Wang Jian would have to cross the sea to the American continent to eat peanuts.

Ying Zheng also picked up a fried peanut to try.

Mm, it smells quite good.

No wonder Wang Jian likes it so much.

It's really good with wine.

Ying Zheng commented: "This peanut oil is fragrant and delicious. It is really good."

"It's normal for peanuts to smell oily because they are rich in fat. You can use them to extract oil and eat it," Zhao Yi explained.

Wang Jian looked at the peanuts and asked in surprise: "Can the oil extracted from peanuts be eaten?!"

The reason why Wang Jian was so surprised was that at that time in the Qin Dynasty, the practice of extracting vegetable oil had not yet appeared.

The cooking oil people use is oil extracted from animal fat.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that there were documents recording the method of refining sesame oil.

"When frying sesame oil, the water vapor is gone and there is no smoke. If it stops boiling, it will become cold..."

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people discovered that rapeseed could be used to extract oil.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, people also discovered that sesame, soybeans, and tea seeds could be used to extract oil.

"Its oil was used in the hot pot dipping sauce before."

"No wonder that dip smells so good."

"Zhao boy, what is this white thing?"

Ying Zheng pointed at the steamed bun and asked curiously.

As an emperor, he had never seen such delicate white pastries.

In fact, this is normal.

Because stone mills were not widely used until the Han Dynasty.

So there was no flour, and there was no pastry-making skill at all during the Qin Dynasty.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the heavy sieve processing technology appeared, which could sift out very fine flour. Therefore, the pastry making technology was further developed, and the white steamed buns appeared.

The word "baozi" first appeared in history in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, pastry making technology was further developed, and the art of using yeast to make dough appeared. Thus, the methods of making various types of buns were born.

For example, the "Menglianglu" alone records different types of buns, such as large buns with fine fillings, crystal buns, and seven-treasure buns.

There were even professional noodle shops in the Song Dynasty.

So if you wanted to have morning tea and eat buns, you could only do so in the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, not even the Emperor of Qin could do it.

"This is called barbecued pork bun. It's a kind of noodle dish."

Ying Zheng picked up a barbecued pork bun and took a bite.

Then he thought that he should come to Zhao Yi's for breakfast more often in the future.

This barbecued pork bun is so delicious.

The outer skin is soft and smooth, the inner filling is slightly sweet and fragrant, tender and juicy!

It tastes delicious after taking a bite.

What delicious food does Zhao Yi eat every day!
As an emperor, I don’t eat as well as he does.

Ying Zheng thought gloomily while eating buns.

After eating, he went to pick up some buns.

Then I found that there were few left on the plate.

Because Wang Jian next to him could finish a bun in two bites and ate three buns in a row.

Ying Zheng then quickened the pace of eating the buns, putting one in the bowl and eating one with his pick.

Thanks to the efforts of Ying Zheng and Wang Jian, everything was cleaned up.

Wang Jian put the last peanut into his mouth and said while chewing: "Zhao boy, your food is really good. I am so full. Burp~"

Ying Zheng also burped.

"It's OK." This is just OK, so what is my imperial meal? Pig food?
"Wow, this is all good, then what is good?" Wang Jian asked.

In fact, for a modern time traveler like Zhao Yi.

This breakfast is just an ordinary breakfast.

After all, modern breakfast is too rich.

There are various kinds of morning tea and breakfast in the south and various kinds of pasta and cakes in the north.

After experiencing so many breakfasts, Zhao Yi felt that this breakfast was very ordinary.

But for Qin people like Ying Zheng and Wang Jian.

This was the best breakfast they had ever had.

After all, this was the level of Qin Dynasty's food culture.

“Maybe I’m used to it.”

When Ying Zheng and Wang Jian heard this, they thought Zhao Yi was showing off.

So I decided to come to his place for breakfast again tomorrow!

After breakfast, Zhao Yi went to an open space to do some radio gymnastics to help digest the food.

Wang Jian, who was watching from the side, realized that Zhao Yi's moves were not simple.

Although the movements look simple, they can exercise various parts of the body at the same time.

So this set of movements can become a training program for soldiers.

So Wang Jian also walked to Zhao Yi's side.

"Zhao boy, your moves look interesting. Can you teach me?"

"Okay, but for someone your age, I would recommend that you learn the Five Animals Exercises, which are more beneficial for health. I heard that long-term practice of the Five Animals Exercises can help prolong your life."

The Five Animal Exercises is the longest-standing fitness method among the people.

It was created by the legendary doctor Hua Tuo based on the Erqinxi in Zhuangzi.

There are five kinds of entertainment, namely tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird.

It is said that Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A lived to be 100 years old because of his long-term practice of the Five Animal Exercises.

As for why the founder Hua Tuo did not live to be 100 years old, it was because he met a more suspicious patient - Cao Cao.

He died tragically in prison.

As soon as he heard the word "longevity", Ying Zheng's attention was drawn.

Can practicing it help you live longer?
This is definitely worth learning.

So Ying Zheng also stood aside and prepared to learn.

Wang Jian asked: "Can two of us learn from each other?"

"can."

Ying Zheng said with great interest: "Then I will learn it too."

So Zhao Yi taught Ying Zheng and the other two the Five Animal Exercises and radio gymnastics.

After Ying Zheng followed suit and performed a set of moves, he felt much more comfortable.

It seems that the Five Animal Exercises can really help people achieve longevity!

So what is the origin of this kid Zhao?
There can be so many.

Is he really an immortal?
If Zhao Yi knew what Ying Zheng was thinking, he would only complain that his scumbag father did not exercise enough and should exercise more.

After the meal, exercise.

Zhao Yi was about to go to the school to prepare to teach.

Yes, Zhao Yi is a teacher in the village.

And it's the only one.

When Ying Zheng and Wang Jian heard that Zhao Yi was going to teach, they wanted to go and listen too.

They were very curious about what Zhao Yi was going to teach.

Their intuition told them that what Zhao Yi taught must not be simple.

Moreover, Ying Zheng didn't want to go back to deal with the memorials now.

When Zhao Yi and the other two arrived at the classroom, it was already full of people.

There are students of all ages inside.

Because Zhao Yi asked all minors in the village to come and study.

As for adults, they can come if they are willing to learn.

The students quieted down as soon as they saw Zhao Yi coming.

Zhao Yi gave Ying Zheng and Wang Jian a notebook and a pencil and stood on the podium...
