Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

Why does dough double or triple in size after it rests for a while?

Zhong Lichun on the sky screen explained, but he didn't fully explain it.

Because Zhong Lichun and other peasants on the sky screen didn't know why this happened, and they only discovered this magical phenomenon accidentally.

And it is confirmed that this magical phenomenon can be reproduced, and that this phenomenon can indeed increase the weight of pasta by two to three times.

As for what is the cause behind this magical phenomenon, perhaps the farmers in the sky and the farmers in this world need to study and understand it more deeply before we can get the answer.

For ordinary people in Guizhou, they are also curious about why the dough becomes larger after it has rested for a period of time.

But if the reason is not explained to them, they won't care too much.

After all, the vast majority of ordinary people in Guizhou are actually pragmatists.

So why the dough becomes bigger after resting for a period of time, this is not important.

What is important is that as long as they follow this, their dough will become two to three times larger after resting for a period of time, and that is enough!

In addition, the pound and stone roller required for making pasta are not difficult to find, and almost every household has them.

After all, even if they don't make pasta, people in Guizhou often need to shell grain or other crops.

There are also many crops that sometimes require the use of stone rollers.

Therefore, there is no shortage of tools, and wheat is one of the staple foods. Basically, most people in Guizhou have more or less wheat in their homes.

Therefore, people in Guizhou all over the world began to try making pasta one after another.

After all, one portion of dough can now be turned into two or three portions of dough. Where can I find such a cheap and cost-effective product?

Not only the people in the head of Guizhou began to try making noodles, but Qin Emperor Ying Zheng in Xianyang City also looked at Shang Shiling.

Feeling the First Emperor's gaze, Shang Shiling nodded immediately, indicating that he understood what the First Emperor meant.

So Shang Shiling waved to the officials behind him again and summoned one of them.

Immediately, the Shangshi Order asked the official to convey the Emperor's intention to eat the pasta that had been left for a period of time to Shangshicheng in the dining room.

After receiving the order, the officials immediately walked quickly towards the dining room.

Shang Shicheng, who was in the dining room, had not yet received the order. After seeing that the pasta on the canopy could be made in this way, he had already taken the lead in ordering people to try to make the pasta on the canopy.

After all, not to mention that the First Emperor wanted to try the taste of pasta made from dough that had been left for a period of time. Even he wanted to taste it himself.

There are also nobles from the Six Kingdoms all over the world. For example, Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang, Tian Dan and other nobles from the Six Kingdoms are also criticizing, while ordering the servants around them to make pasta that has been left for a period of time as Tianmu said.

【Xu Zi, who was eating pasta with a completely different texture than before, couldn't help but sigh:"The pasta tastes really good after being left for a while."】

【"It's soft and has a light wheat aroma."】

【"Unfortunately, if you want to eat such a portion of pasta, you have to first pound the rice to remove the shells, and then grind it into flour with a stone roller. The process is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, which can be said to be rare."】

【"If grinding wheat into flour was not so difficult and troublesome, I would be willing to eat this pasta every day"】

【While talking, Xu Zi turned his head to look at Prince Fusu from time to time.】

【Prince Fusu also noticed Xu Zi's behavior and asked strangely:"Master Xu, why do you look at me like this?"】

【After seeing that his actions finally attracted the attention of Prince Fusu, Xu Zi was a little embarrassed but asked with eager and expectant eyes:"I want to ask His Highness whether he has any ideas for improving the flour he developed."】

【After all, although the improved pasta is good, developing flour is ultimately a time-consuming and laborious endeavor.】

【If the tools for making flour can also be improved, then the promotion of this pasta will not be a problem.】

【Similarly, in the future, it will no longer be so difficult and troublesome for people in Guizhou to eat pasta.】

【This can be said to be a great thing that will benefit the people of Guizhou all over the world.】

【That's why Xu Zi deliberately looked at Prince Fusu frequently, just to attract Prince Fusu's attention and then bring up this topic.】

【Hearing what Xu Zi said, Prince Fusu did not refuse directly. Instead, he looked at Zhong Lichun from Baicao Division and other farm boys and said,"Show me your tools and process for making flour.""】

【The taste of the improved noodles is far better than the previous ones, and Prince Fusu also likes it very much.】

【So in order to be able to eat more of this kind of pasta in the future, and so that the people responsible for developing flour don’t have to work so hard.】

【Therefore, Prince Fusu is also willing to see if he can make some useful improvements in the development of pasta.】

【After hearing the words of Prince Fusu, Zhong Lichun and other farmers from Baicao Division immediately rushed out.】

【After all, Prince Fusu’s intelligence is well known to everyone in the six tribes.】

【In particular, the story of Prince Fusu's invention and improvement of the columbine and the curved shaft plow had already spread among the six ministries, especially the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry.】

【It can be said that the children of farmers and Mohists in the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Industry all know that Prince Fusu is very powerful in inventing and improving utensils.】

【So when they heard that Prince Fusu might help them improve the tools for grinding flour, they were naturally more excited and looking forward to it than anyone else.】

【Within a moment, a group of farmers from Baicao Division had already brought over the mortars and stone rollers that they and others had used to grind flour.】

【"Your Highness, please see, this is the mortar stone used to shell grain."】

【"Generally, the mortar stones used in the milling process are too heavy to be moved, so most of the mortar stones will be embedded in the ground."】

【"Just put the grain into the groove of the mortar, and then pound it continuously with the pestle."】

【"But if you smash it a lot, your arms will get sore easily."】

【As a farmer from Baicao Division spoke, he swept the grooves of the mortar stone clean, and then poured part of the wheat into it.】

【Then pick up a pestle as thick as your arm and begin to perform repetitive pounding movements to remove the husk from the wheat.】

【After repeatedly pounding for a while, the farmer stopped, then lowered his head to clean out the wheat husks and wheat from the groove of the mortar.】

【Then separate the wheat from the mixture of wheat husks and wheat】

【Finally, the wheat was placed on the groove in the middle of the stone roller, and then another farmer from Baicao Division pressed a flat roller with both hands and moved it back and forth in the middle.】

【"Your Highness, this is the stone mill used to grind flour."】

【"Just put the wheat into this stone mill, and then grind it back and forth, and you can gradually grind the wheat into flour."】

【"However, if you grind too much, your arms will also become sore easily."】

【The farmer boy in charge of grinding said while grinding】

【While listening to their stories, Prince Fusu silently watched the wheat in the middle of the stone mill being gradually ground, ground into powder, and finally turned into flour, and gradually fell into deep thought.】

【He seemed to have heard about the problem of arms getting sore easily before.】

【Just when Prince Fusu was so lost in thought that no one else around him dared to speak and disturb Prince Fusu.】

【The little raccoon slave who had been adopted by Prince Fusu suddenly jumped from Zhang Han's body and onto Prince Fusu's shoulders.】

【Prince Fusu, who was originally lost in thought, came back to his senses because of the sudden action of the little raccoon slave.】

【But at the same time, he also remembered where he had heard about the problem of arms getting sore easily.】

【"If your arms get sore easily, would it be better if you use your feet instead?"】

【Prince Fusu looked at everyone and smiled and said】

【"With feet?"】

【"Use your feet to pound rice and remove the husks?"】

【"How to pound rice and remove the husks with your feet?"】

【"And how to grind wheat into flour with your feet?"】

【All the farm boys present were muttering in low voices with puzzled expressions on their faces.】

【Prince Fusu looked at Xiangli Ji, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said,"I wonder if the minister, Xiangli, still remembers the pedal-operated loom?"】

【Hearing the words"pedal-operated loom", a flash of light flashed in Xiangliji's mind, and he laughed and said,"Yes, it's a pedal-operated loom!"】

【Seeing this, Prince Fusu also had a smile on his face.】

【In the past, farmers from the Textile Department also encountered the problem that their arms tended to get sore when weaving.】

【At that time, the farmers' sons of the Textile Department and the Mohists worked together to change the textile loom into a foot-operated loom, thus solving the problem of easy arm soreness.】

【And if we really want to say it, the structure of the foot-operated textile machine is much more complicated than that of rice pounding.】

【And such a complicated textile machine can be changed to a foot-operated one, so there is no reason why the rice pounding machine cannot be changed to a foot-operated one.】

【In fact, this is indeed the case. After Prince Fusu gave such a suggestion, Xiangli Jidang even thought of how to change the manual rice pounding to a pedal rice pounding.】

【After all, the key to pounding rice is to keep the pestle head pounding the grains up and down.】

【Pedal-operated rice pounding is actually about finding a way to use your feet to control the pestle head to pound the grains up and down continuously.】

【And how can you control the pestle head with your feet?】

【It's very simple. Just add a link between the foot and the pestle head, so that when the foot moves, it can drive the pestle head.】

【For example, use a long wooden board, tie one end to the pestle head, put the other end under your feet, and then add a fulcrum in the middle for leverage.】

【In this way, as long as you gently step on the pestle rod without binding one end of the pestle head, the other end with the pestle head tied will rise high.】

【Then let your foot relax slightly, and then the high-rising pestle head will suddenly fall down and hit the wheat in the groove of the mortar stone.】

【Finally, the wheat is hit hard back and forth by the pestle head, and the chaff wrapped around it will gradually break, revealing the wheat kernels inside.】

【The whole process can be said to be simple and easy, no hands are needed at all, just moving your feet】

【A group of farmers and Mohists gathered around the improved rice pounding tools and took turns to test them with great interest.】

【And Xu Zi, who was standing by, repeatedly praised:"This thing is very good! This thing is very good! With this thing, in the future the people in Guizhou will no longer have to work so hard to pound rice.""】

【Even King Yingzheng of Qin cast an admiring glance at Xiang Liji. The Mo family is indeed very useful!】

【Zhong Lichun also looked at Xiang Liji and asked,"I wonder what the name of this thing is?"】

【Xiang Liji shook his head and said:"This thing was prompted by His Highness. Please give it a name.""】

【Prince Fusu also shook his head, declined Xiangli Ji's kindness and said:"Gu just mentioned such a direction, the one who really invented it was Xiangli Shangshu."】

【"So naturally it would be best for Shangshu Xiangli to name it."】

【After hearing what Prince Fusu said, Xiangli Ji immediately did not delay.】

【After all, it's just a naming for an ordinary small object invention. Neither he nor Prince Fusu will lack such naming opportunities.】

【So since Prince Fusu said he would not name it, then he would just name it.】

【After pondering for a while, Xiangliji immediately said:"Since rice is pounded by stepping on it, let's call it 'treading'.""】

【As soon as the word"Tadi" came out, everyone chanted it several times, and then all praised:"What a name, it really lives up to its name!"】

【"Stepping on the pestle, stepping on the pestle, isn’t that just stepping on the pestle rice!"】

【"Later, there were treadmills, and rice pounding was very important.���For the common people, it is no longer a hard task."】

【"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Xiangli Shangshu for improving and inventing the treadmill for the people of Guizhou Province!"】.
