Chapter 388: Popular Science from Li Yuan
Although Bao Zhang Nan was skeptical of Li Yuan's statement, he still decided to try it, after all, what could make Li Yuan want to eat must be something good, Li Yuan didn't even move a chopstick to the honey bear paw he had just served, but picked up the black jerky first and ate it, then this jerky must have its own uniqueness.
Zhang Nan picked up the so-called "scarlet lips". First put it under his nose and smelled it, it was completely the taste of jerky, a bit of beef jerky, but it was not, and then Zhang Nan put this black jerky in his mouth.
In the mouth of the scarlet lips, Zhang Nan's first feeling was that this meat was so woody, not only was it very salty, but the taste was really not very good, but after Zhang Nan melted the pickle on the scarlet lips and slowly began to chew the taste of the scarlet lips, Zhang Nan knew why Li Yuan wanted to eat this thing so much.
Because it is so delicious, after the salty taste, the rest is the meat fragrance, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, it feels like an inexplicable fragrance, this fragrance Zhang Nan has never tasted at all, so soon, Zhang Nan also liked this scarlet lip.
Seeing that Zhang Nan couldn't wait to put the dried meat in his hand into his mouth, Li Yuan said with a smile: "How about it, it's good, although Qingquan is well-informed, but in this aspect of eating, I can still compete with you." ”
This is the only time that Li Yuan has a sense of superiority in knowledge in front of Zhang Nan, so Li Yuan also quickly blew a wave of himself.
Zhang Nan nodded, it is true, this scarlet lips are different from any kind of jerky that Zhang Nan has eaten, and Zhang Nan also understands why Li Yuan likes to eat this thing so much.
After all, the spices of Datang are very scarce, whether it is the spices used or the edible spices, they are very few, and this scarlet lip itself has a fragrance that people can't refuse, which makes Li Yuan, who has no extra taste in his mouth, also fall in love with this thing.
"Don't just eat meat, come and come, often the wine here, although not more than the wine in your bar, is also a good wine." Li Yuan said, and gave Xia He a look, and Xia He picked up the wine glass and poured Zhang Nan a glass of wine.
Zhang Nan came to Datang but drank Datang wine, because of process problems, most of the degree of wine is not high, and the degree of taste is not higher than the mash, but Li Yuan gave wine, Zhang Nan could not continue, took the wine glass, Zhang Nan raised his head and drank it all, although it is not as good as those distilled high wines, but this wine is also much stronger than other wines that Zhang Nan has drunk.
Li Yuan saw that Zhang Nan drank wine, so he didn't care about Zhang Nan, drank a glass of wine by himself, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, swallowed it into his stomach, Li Yuan sighed: "It's really delicious." ”
Zhang Nan saw that Li Yuan was so happy to eat, and he hurriedly grabbed a chopstick bear paw to eat, after all, let alone bear paws in the future generations, bear hair Zhang Nan has never eaten, bears are national protected animals, like Zhang Nan, who has nothing, can only think about it, but it is different here, this is the Tang Dynasty, bear paws are naturally edible, and according to Zhang Nan's identity and net worth, as long as he wants, he can eat such a protected animal every day.
As soon as Zhang Nan was about to move his chopsticks, Li Yuan blocked Zhang Nan's chopsticks with his chopsticks and said, "Qingquan, it's not so easy to eat bear's paws, I have to test you first." ”
Zhang Nan had already been coveted by that bear's paw, and when he heard Li Yuan say that he would test himself, Zhang Nan hurriedly nodded and said, "The Emperor, you ask, the minister must know everything." ”
Li Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll ask, let me ask you, this bear has four palms, why only take this left front palm to eat?" ”
Where does Zhang Nan know so much, in later generations, Zhang Nan can count the number of times he sees a bear on one hand, such a "profound" question, where does Zhang Nan know to go.
Li Yuan seems to enjoy this feeling of suppressing Zhang Nan in terms of knowledge, there is no way, after all, every time Zhang Nan takes out something new, it makes people feel that he is a mountain cannon, and now Li Yuan has finally found an opportunity to show off his knowledge, how can Li Yuan let it go?
"I don't know, then I'll teach you today, listen." Li Yuan paused, and then continued: "This bear paw is the most precious in the front palm. Bear every winter or heavy snow after the mountain to winter sting, the old bear often licks its forefoot with its tongue, licks the calluses on the forefoot very thin, so that the palm is red and oozes blood, and its ** infiltrates the palm, so the forepalm is tender and nutritious. Among the forepalms, especially the left forepalm, the dishes are the most precious. This old bear feeds with its forepaw, and is accustomed to using its left forepaw to grasp the food entrance, while the right forepaw is only used for tickling, climbing trees and hunting, so the left forepaw is stained with wild juice and the blood of rare birds and fattened animals all year round. ”
When Li Yuan said this, he drank a glass of wine, put a piece of bear's paw meat in his mouth, and then continued: "In order to satisfy his hunger, bears often steal bees in the mountains. In this way, the bear's left forepaw is often soaked in honey. Over time, the bear's left forefoot was soaked with blood, honey, juice, and his own saliva. As a result, the left forefoot is of better quality, followed by the other three palms. ”
After finishing the popular science, Li Yuan peeked at Zhang Nan and found that Zhang Nan was staring at the bear's paw, not even turning his eyes, Li Yuan said with a smile: "How Qingquan, you don't know this thing." ”
Zhang Nan stared at the bear's paw, then swallowed his saliva and said: "This, the minister also heard about it for the first time today, if it weren't for the emperor, the minister wouldn't have known about it." ”
As soon as Li Yuan heard Zhang Nan say this, he laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat, let's eat, I see that you are going to drip saliva on the table." ”
As soon as Zhang Nan heard that Li Yuan let him move his chopsticks, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and couldn't wait to set up a piece of bear paw meat and put it in his mouth.
It wasn't until he ate the bear's paw that Zhang Nan knew why the bear had become a protected animal.
This is inevitably too delicious, not to mention anything else, in addition to the fact that the habitat of this bear has been destroyed and has become scarce, Zhang Nan is sure that there is a more important reason because it is eaten as a protected animal.
At this time, Zhang Nan was like eating Xuanmai, he couldn't stop at all, he kept holding the bear's paw meat, chewing the bear's paw in his mouth and holding the drunken shrimp in his hand to remove the shell, in short, it seemed to be very ugly.
Just when Zhang Nan was eating happily, Xiao Er, who was not far away, shouted: "Hey, I heard the report." Everyone's eyes were looking in the direction of Xiao Er.
