Chapter 1084: Buddha jumps over the wall

Ang Lee's hospitality is very simple, that is, to serve all the delicious and delicious food and drink, no matter how much the guests can eat, although the food is served, the more you can't eat, the more you can leave, the more you can reflect the host's hospitality.

Although this is a big waste, but it is enough to reflect the sincerity of the master, at least in the society of the Tang Empire, there is such an atmosphere, that is, the atmosphere of waste, in a thrifty society, waste is very shameful, but the Tang Dynasty is currently rich in products, no one will feel that eating and drinking is a waste, but feel that it is a blessing, in fact, in any society with sufficient materials, no one will pay too much attention to thrift, so it seems too aggrieved, as long as people who are really poor will consider thrift.

Ang Lee has a lot of wealth, even if he spends a lot of money, there will not be much of a problem, naturally there is no need to save everywhere, so it will appear that he is very picky, and it will also make the guests feel cold, only the absolutely sufficient food supply can make the guests feel at home, and both the host and the guest can be more enjoyable.

The last palace banquet, the emperor prepared a giant grouper of more than 100 catties for Li An alone, such a big fish, naturally it is impossible to eat, there are many other dishes, in front of all the ministers, there are full of food and wine, this is not counting the ingredients that were served down after just a few bites, it can be said that the palace banquet, the wine and food that each minister gets, is enough for everyone to eat for a month, and the waste rate is definitely more than ninety percent, which is a huge waste, But the atmosphere of the banquet is also based on this waste, how to create a celebratory atmosphere with buckles and ropes, and it is not in line with the royal momentum, in addition, the waste of ingredients is consumed by the palace maids and eunuchs, and the final residue will also be consumed by some animals bred in the palace, which is actually not a waste.

Li An entertains distinguished guests in the same way, the rest of the meal will be consumed by the guards of the house immediately, the male and female servants, and the last remaining residue is the delicious chickens, ducks and pigs and dogs in the house, there will be almost no substantial waste, especially the few pigs that are raised, for all kinds of leftovers, they will not refuse, and they can eat as much as they want.

Pig raising for the environment, pollution is relatively large, Li An such a rich family, in fact, there is no need to raise pigs, but Li Ang just likes the fun of breeding, usually when there is nothing to do, to see the breeding area of the house, it is also a kind of fun of life, so that it can also reduce the waste of food in the house.

Of course, the main thing is the fun aspect, and wasting a little food is a trivial matter for Ang Lee's house.

If you catch up with Ang Lee, you will cook and cook food for your guests, of course, this person must be able to understand Ang Lee's behavior, and be a more easy-going person, such as Guo Ziyi, he will never feel that Ang Lee is willing to be cheap because Ang Lee cooks in person, when it is difficult in the army, as a general, he can even eat glutinous rice and drink dirty water from the river, so how can he care about this.

"Lao Guo! I've recently researched a new delicacy that I'm going to cook for you today. ”

Li An looked at Guo Ziyi and said excitedly.

"Oh, you have to cook by yourself again, can you teach me, I want to cook too!"

Guo Ziyi suddenly asked like a child.

Li An looked at Guo Ziyi and said with a smile: "Okay! Since General Guo really wants to learn, why can't I teach you? Moreover, this dish is not very difficult to learn, you can learn it in one go. ”

As a general in the army, Guo Ziyi does not need to cook by himself, but in his early years, he also cooked, and only by doing everything in the army can he truly understand the difficulties and importance of different arms.

"Wait, Li Shilang, what is this, it's so interesting."

Guo Ziyi had just walked through a corridor and was attracted by the solar-powered barbecue placed there.

Li An smiled and said, "Old Guo! This thing is a solar barbecue, which is used to grill food, which is very easy to use, and it can quickly make food in winter, so do you want to try it later. ”

"Try it, of course you have to try it, this thing is interesting!"

Guo Ziyi took a closer look at the solar barbecue grill and said, "By the way, which one is better to use than the solar cooker?" ”

"The glass pipe can be sealed and insulated, and the effect of using it is naturally better than that of the solar stove, but this also has limitations, that is, the amount of food heated is relatively small, and it is not convenient to boil water, everything is in front of you, General Guo can't see it?"

Li An said.

"It's almost noon now, and when I'm done cooking, I'll come and play with this, it must be fun."

There was a special light in Guo Ziyi's eyes.

Ang Lee naturally understood, what bad was this guy's heart holding? It is estimated that he has taken a fancy to solar barbecue grills, but Li Ang will send one to Guo Ziyi at most, as for the need for a lot in the army, that is his own business, there will be a large number of solar barbecue grills on the market soon, and he has the ability to buy them himself.

Perhaps, Guo Ziyi will apply to the imperial court to equip them with a certain number of solar barbecue grills for their border soldiers to meet the cooking needs of the desert area, but this thing is mainly leisure in nature, not only the price is much higher than the solar cooker, but also very fragile, ordinary people can be careful when using it, but in the army, the equipment required must be of excellent quality, this kind of fragile glass is really not suitable for large-scale equipment in the army, The army really can't afford to consume this kind of fragile treasure, so Guo Ziyi doesn't have to think about equipping the army with this kind of equipment, and the court will not agree, so unless he pays for it himself, Li An will only give him a solar barbecue grill at most anyway.

"By the way, Li Shilang, what the hell are you going to make delicious! What materials are used, let's reveal them first! ”

Before she walked to the back kitchen, Guo Ziyi couldn't help but ask.

Li An smiled and replied: "This delicacy is called Buddha jumping over the wall, it is a delicacy that I just developed, and there are more ingredients, you will understand it when you see it later." ”

Where is this delicacy invented by Ang Lee, it is obviously the top delicacy of later generations, and it was plagiarized by Ang Lee, but this delicacy appeared relatively late, and there is definitely no one in this era of the Tang Dynasty, so even if Ang Lee says that he invented it himself, it doesn't matter, no one can debunk Ang Lee, besides, it's just a dish, who cares about these things.

In the society of later generations, the Buddha jumping over the wall is also known as the full altar spring, Fu Shouquan, is the famous dish of the Fuzhou generation, was invented in the braid dynasty long away from the Tang Dynasty, after all, in history, a lot of ingredients and seasonings from the Americas were introduced to China, so that there are conditions to do this Buddha jumping over the wall.

Just now Li An told Guo Ziyi that the practice of Buddha jumping over the wall is very simple, in fact, it is deliberately tricked to play with him, how can this top delicacy be easily made, there are many processes, not ordinary complexity.

First of all, from the perspective of raw materials, there are more than a dozen kinds of raw materials for Buddha jumping over the wall, abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak skin glue, oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs and other ingredients. In order to fully reflect the taste and characteristics of each ingredient, it is necessary to make these more than a dozen ingredients into a dish independently, and then gather them together, add broth and Shaoxing wine, and simmer for more than ten hours, so that the taste can truly achieve mellow characteristics.

Therefore, it is not easy to make Buddha jumping over the wall, and it is not easy to eat it quickly, Guo Ziyi is now following the Buddha jumping over the wall together, but if you really want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, you still need to wait until dinner, this is still a few hours in advance, if Li An tells Guo Ziyi about this situation, it is estimated that this product will definitely have a black line.

Buddha jumping over the wall was originally known as Fu Shou Quan, about the origin of the Buddha jumping over the wall, there are three theories, the first one is to say that in a certain year of the Braided Dynasty, an official of the Fuzhou Official Money Bureau invited Zhou Lian, the political envoy of Fujian, he was the knot Zhou Lian, so that the family personally cooked, with Shaoxing wine jar chicken, duck, mutton, pork belly, pigeon eggs and seafood and other more than 20 kinds of raw and auxiliary materials, simmered, named Fu Shouquan. After Zhou Lian tasted it, she was full of praise. When asked about the name of the dish, the official said that the dish takes the meaning of "auspicious Ruyi, Fushou Shuangquan, and the name is Fushouquan."

Later, the chef Zheng Chunfa learned how to cook this dish and improved it, and the taste was better than the first. When Zheng Chunfa opened the Juchunyuan Vegetable Restaurant, it caused a sensation in Rongcheng with this dish. Once, a group of literati and ink writers came to taste this dish, when Fu Shou Quan went to the altar, the meat incense overflowed, one of the show talents was fascinated, triggered the poetry, immediately chanted: "The altar Qi meat incense floats in the neighborhood, and the Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall." At the same time, in Fuzhou dialect, the pronunciation of Fu Shouquan and Buddha jumping over the wall is also similar. Since then, quoting the meaning of the poem, the Buddha jumping over the wall has become the correct name of this dish, which has a history of more than 100 years.

As for the second statement, it is a Fujian custom, on the third day after the new daughter-in-law gets married, she must personally cook and show her tea and rice skills, serve her in-laws, and win appreciation. Legend has it that a rich girl, pampered, not accustomed to cooking, was sad on the eve of her marriage. Her mother took out all the delicacies from the mountains and seas at home and made all kinds of dishes, wrapped them in lotus leaves one by one, and told her how to cook them. Who knew that this young lady had forgotten the firing method, and in a hurry, she poured all the dishes into a Shaojiu jar, covered them with lotus leaves, and put them on the stove. The next day, the fragrance wafted out, and the family praised the good dishes, which is the origin of the eighteen dishes boiled in one pot of Buddha jumping over the wall, and it sounds like the real thing.

As for the third theory, it is a group of beggars who carry clay bowls and clay pots around every day to beg for food, and pour all kinds of leftovers together to boil, steaming hot and fragrant. When the monk smelled it, he couldn't help the temptation of the fragrance, jumped out of the wall, and feasted. There are poems as evidence, brewing meat incense floating in the neighborhood, Buddha heard the abandonment of Zen and jumped over the wall.

This statement is also quite interesting, indicating that this delicacy is so delicious that even the monks of Qingxiu can't resist the temptation, which shows how delicious it is.

"There's a new back kitchen here, which wasn't there when I was here last time?"

Guo Ziyi followed Ang Lee into the back kitchen and looked at the east and west curiously.

This kitchen is indeed newly built, and the specifications are much higher than the previous ones, but the area is a little smaller, this is the kitchen used by Ang Lee to cook himself, other chefs are not qualified to use it casually, and most of the most precious ingredients in the house are also stored here.

However, every time Ang Lee cooks in person, a back chef will come to help him, and at the same time, he will also learn the skills, and slowly these back chefs will learn how to make the food designed by Ang Lee.

"Wow, quail eggs, it's a good thing, it tastes good."

Before she started cooking, Guo Ziyi had unceremoniously stuffed several quail eggs into her mouth and ate them in a big gulp.

Li An opened his mouth and said: "General Guo, don't worry, this quail egg is the material for making the Buddha jumping over the wall, it is not easy to make this dish if you eat it, and these are the ingredients for making the Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

"Wow, you need so many ingredients for one dish, that's too much! Let me see, sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirts, deer tendons, pigeon eggs, duck treasures, fish maw, fish maw, scallops, pigeons, ribs, razor clams, ham, pork belly, lamb's elbow, hoof tip, hoof tendons, domestic hen hen chicken breast, domestic yellow-billed duck duck duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, mushroom, and these few can't be named. ”

Guo Ziyi's eyes were straight, and she felt that the dish invented by Ang Lee was really amazing, there were so many main ingredients, and there were naturally more auxiliary ingredients, including ginger slices, green onions, cinnamon, cooked scallops, Shao wine, net winter bamboo shoots, monosodium glutamate, shuifa fish lips, rock sugar, bream belly, fine soy sauce, money abalone, pork bone soup, pig's trotter tips, cooked lard, and net duck.

Not only is there a lot of main ingredients in a dish, but there are also so many auxiliary materials, which is relatively rare, and if the delicious ingredients made are not delicious, it will be very sorry for these delicious ingredients.

"So many materials, it's more than 30 catties! How long will it take for this to get done? ”

Guo Ziyi looked at these ingredients and ingredients and asked.

Li An smiled faintly and said, "Don't hide it from General Guo, it normally takes five or six hours, and if you are in a hurry to eat, three or four hours is fine." ”

"What, it takes so long?"

Guo Ziyi's eyes were wide open, and she felt a feeling of being deceived, paused for a moment, and said: "It's midnight after five or six hours, and Li Shilang is going to leave me overnight!" ”

Originally, it was just to stimulate this old man, but he didn't expect this product to ask for a stay, which made Li An a little shocked, but Old Man Guo is not a bad person, and it doesn't matter much if he stays overnight.

"If General Guo is willing to stay overnight, then it is naturally the best, I just bought a Silla maid in my house recently, can I warm your bed?"

Ang Lee teased.
