Chapter 36 The Immigration System of the Southern Song Dynasty
How to cook fish steak? Basically, you don't have to do it, British food is just one word, simple! After removing the fish meat to ensure that it is thornless and boneless, smash it with a heavy object to break all the fibers of the fish, then wrap it in eggs and flour and put it in the pan. The surface is slightly light yellow and fished out, don't delay, it will deepen the color after the pot, if the golden yellow is fished out again, it will be browned after a while.
And then what? Then it's time to stuff it in your mouth, if you are not afraid of being hot, you can stuff it immediately, and if you are afraid of being hot, you can stuff it after a while. You don't even need to put salt, the fish itself has a salty taste, and if the mouth is heavy, you can use it with cream, jam, and wine to boil the juice, and you can usually eat it directly, and it can be sandwiched with bread. To put it bluntly, it's soft-fried tenderloin, but it's more convenient.
"Is this vegetable oil?" Entering the kitchen, Hong Tao really understood the cooking culture of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the ingredients were very complete, except for the lack of chili peppers, almost all the things used in later generations are now available. What onions, garlic, ginger, pepper, pepper, soy sauce, vinegar, leek flowers, mustard, scallion, spicy knotweed, and several spices even Hong Tao doesn't know, smell it or don't know it. What surprised Hong Tao the most was that the Song Dynasty already had a wok, or a amphora iron wok, and the oil used was by no means big oil, but vegetable oil, what kind of vegetable oil, Hong Tao was not sure, it was probably rapeseed oil.
"Canola oil! Brother Hong's hometown doesn't eat this thing? Luo Youde stood behind Hong Tao and looked at Hong Tao's fish steak with great interest, and it could be seen from his movements that Hong Tao was not a freshman.
"My hometown is mostly soybean oil!" This nonsense, Hong Tao is embarrassed to make it up. Eat blended oil every day, buy a peanut oil or Nima fake, where does the soybean oil come from! However, peanuts can't be said, because there were definitely no peanuts in the Song Dynasty, and that thing is a specialty of the Americas, and it will not appear in Asia until the discovery of the Americas at the earliest.
"Soybeans? Can soybeans used to make tofu be used for oil? "Luo Youde is really not pretending, but he is very concerned about everything related to eating, the strange thing is that he is not fat at all, he doesn't even have a stomach, this Nima is not very scientific!
The fish steak was fried very quickly, and the ship's kitchen did not use charcoal fire, but directly used coal blocks, or high-quality anthracite coal blocks, where did this thing come from, Hong Tao also planned to take the effort to ask, but he didn't have time now, because he wanted to teach Luo Youde fish cutlets by hand. Since he took his first bite, he thought it was very good, and although it didn't make him exclaim, he also wanted to be able to make his own food in the future. He is a rich man, and he has to learn how to cook by himself first, and then teach the cook, which is a bit similar to Hong Tao, who is curious and hands-on.
After learning to make fish steaks, Luo Youde was very pleased, and gradually recognized Hong Tao's statement that he came from the mysterious continent of Nanyang. For he boasted that he had traveled to all the countries marked on the chart, and tasted all the local food, but he had never eaten such a thing as a fish steak, and had never even heard of it. The tone and vocabulary of Hong Tao's speech are also unheard of, especially Hong Tao's temperament, which is obviously not an ordinary fisherman who has worked for a long time, and the primary color linen clothes and pants he wears, not to mention the peculiar fabric, even the style is very peculiar, and the round ivory buttons make Luo Youde sigh, it is really a beautiful and practical ornament.
When he heard that Hong Tao would also cut and make clothes, he immediately became affectionate a little more, and holding Hong Tao's hand was like a pair of glass, refusing to let go for a long time. He wanted to ask Hong Tao to help him make an Australian dress, he not only likes to taste food, but also likes new and strange clothes, as long as he has seen it, he must buy a few, and wear it out to show off in front of his friends after returning to China, and be proud of it.
"Does the government care?" Hong Tao made Luo Youde say confused, this person is simply a fashionable hipster, can this kind of person still live in the Song Dynasty? Won't be crushed to death by all kinds of rituals?
"Official? Why do they care about what I wear? I don't want to be an official and don't go to school, after the city department has drawn points, we can wear it if we want, eat it when we want, how can we discipline it? Brother Hong's hometown doesn't allow you to dress casually? Luo Youde asked Hong Tao confused again this time, why was he still questioned by the government when he wore clothes?
"Oh, I just heard from my ancestors that there are strict rules for eating, dressing, talking, and doing things here, and you can't mess around at will. So after I was killed, I didn't dare to go near the town, for fear of causing trouble with my strange behavior and strange accent, but fortunately the Tan family took me in, otherwise I might starve to death. Hong Tao understood a little, it seems that the Song Dynasty was more civilized than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the government's control over the people was not too strict.
"Hahahaha...... Brother Hong's ancestor may have said that the Tang Dynasty of the previous dynasty, but it was also an exaggeration. As far as my brother knows, even Datang will not be offended for wearing clothes, eating, and talking. But there is also a possibility, Ling Zushang is a person who is an official in the court, then he has to deny himself, like you and me, businessmen, you don't need to be so careful, otherwise there is no fun at all! Even if the official family sees it, they won't be half displeased, maybe they will look sideways. Luo Youde felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure, and it was also a pleasure to discuss the living habits and culture of their respective countries with a person from an unknown country, which was very interesting and refreshing.
"That means that if I go to the town like this, no one will treat me like a monster, and I can stay in a hotel and buy things without any identification documents?" Hong Tao still doesn't believe it, the household registration system has this thing in which dynasty and generation, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in the era in which he lived, the household registration system still controlled everyone, why was it useless in the Song Dynasty? It's not scientific!
"If it's a Song person, it's okay! Brother Hong is a citizen of Fanbang, and after he needs to go to the city to enter the book, he can be the same as the Song people, except that he can't take the exam to be an official, he can buy property and do business, and he can live in one place for five years, and he can enter my Great Song Dynasty and Song Min! Luo Youde said another answer that made Hong Tao stunned.
This question Hong Tao really didn't expect that the Song Dynasty would be so open! Isn't this Nima the American imperialism of the 13th century? It's not their original creation, it's Nima who plagiarized our Great Song Dynasty!
According to Luo Youde's introduction, the household registration system was indeed very strict in the Tang Dynasty, and it was divided into non-compiled households at that time. To put it bluntly, a citizen with full civil liability is a person with a household register. Non-organized households are sluts, these people can only engage in lowly jobs, cannot go to school or become officials, or hereditary, a bit like the caste system in India. They don't even have a household registration book, so they can only write it in the household registration book, which is regarded as the family property of the household and the status of livestock.
