Section 0965 Gastronomy

Romeo is grateful for the help he has received from his old butler.

I never gave up when I was broken, and now I am doing my best to help myself.

Just as Romeo was about to say something grateful, the old butler took out a scroll as if by magic: "The official of the Imperial Tang Kingdom who came to preside over the New Year's celebration today gave me this. ”

Romeo had seen this scroll, and he also had one, and he had made him the county scroll.

grabbed it in his hand and opened it, Romeo couldn't say it excitedly, but the old butler kept smiling very indifferently.

"It's deserved, deserved."

A canonization scroll, the old housekeeper's excellent management talent was recognized by the Tang Dynasty, this is a county man's knighthood, and the fief is still in the Tang Spice Island, with a thousand acres of orchards managed by fifty tenant farmers.

That night, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Several of the head chefs in the back kitchen, who were hosting the banquet in different places around the Mediterranean, were chanting the same phrase.

The poor sour aristocracy on this side of the Mediterranean, they only recognize the price and do not recognize the goods.

This was taught by Liu Mu.

To put it in a classic line, only buy the expensive ones and don't buy the right ones.

The first course of the Tang Chinese New Year's Eve banquet shocked the entire Mediterranean.

This dish is called Hun Yang Death, which was produced after the Anshi Rebellion in real history, and it was Wei Juyuan who was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu and feasted on Tang Zhongzong according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty.

It was at this banquet that this dish appeared.

And Willow Wood, playing this dish to a higher level, can be said to be purely designed to torture these nobles of the Mediterranean.

The dish was nothing more than a goose wrapped in a lamb's belly and roasted, and then the nobles ate only goose meat.

Willow plays higher.

Not to mention this dish, even Li Daozong, the Tang Dynasty's clan, was frightened.

In Constantine's palace, the first dish was brought up by thirty-six strong slaves, and it was a cylindrical pottery more than a foot high.

Even this huge pottery cannot be made in the Mediterranean.

"Your Majesty, this dish is the third most famous dish of my Tang Dynasty, these ten famous dishes cannot be used for non-big banquets, my Tang Emperor cherishes the people, and often reminds us that these royal children must know how to be thrifty, and we must know how to share weal and sorrow with the people, today Chinese New Year's Eve, this dish must be tasted by His Majesty."

Li Daozong was very moved by what he said, and he had experienced the elegance and etiquette of the Tang nobles more than once.

He still remembered a small incident, he and the prince Li Daozong were in the street market of Constantine, and Li Daozong suddenly stopped to salute a soldier on the side of the road who had become a beggar after being disabled on the battlefield.

At the time, Heraclius did not understand.

Li Daozong said at the time: He saw the beggar saluting him, if he didn't return the salute, then as a beggar, he knew etiquette, could he be a nobleman but didn't know etiquette.

For a year, this incident was a positive case of Heraclius educating his courtiers.

At this time, Heraclius had a huge affection for this prince from the Tang Dynasty, and had a very serious admiration for Li Daozong's morality.

He believed Li Daozong's words, and the Tang Emperor advocated frugality.

A huge pottery piece one foot high was slowly hoisted up, and inside was a stainless steel shelf on which a complete camel was hung.

Regardless of the Roman aristocracy, the complete roasted camel, the Tang Dynasty is really heroic.

When the elders couldn't help but swallow their saliva, Li Daozong said to Heraclius: "At tonight's banquet, there are many people serving in the back kitchen and banquet hall, before the banquet starts, can you ask Your Majesty to reward them with this roasted whole camel." ”

"It's ......," Heraclius was tempted to eat the roasted whole camel.

But since Li Daozong spoke, he really had no way to refuse, so he had to agree.

The camel was cut open, and there was a sheep in the belly of the camel.

The fragrance has spread, the guests swallowed their saliva again, and many people secretly thought, this Tang Dynasty is really powerful, it turns out that roasting whole camels is actually for the sheep in the belly of the camel.

But here, Li Daozong said again: "Your Majesty, the guards are guarding day and night, and it is very hard, can this sheep be distributed to the guards?" ”

Heraclius was already not calm, and said in his heart that I haven't eaten a bite of this banquet yet, so why is it over like this, but out of respect for Li Daozong, he still agreed.

The belly of the sheep is cut open, and a goose is taken out and placed on the table.

At this time, the top nobles of Rome didn't think about the goose anymore, and they couldn't figure out whether the goose was for them to eat.

Especially the senators of the Roman Senate, the staring boss, put on a very calm look, but the saliva on the corners of their mouths could not hide their desire for food.

The knife in the hand of the chef of Datang flashed, and the goose was cut into countless thin slices.

Each patriarch only has five coins of goose meat on his plate.

In the expectation of the Roman Emperor Heraclius, he did not have goose meat to eat, only to see a quail in the belly of the goose, and the quail was given to several top dignitaries in the Senate.

In the quail's belly, there is a meal wrapped in glutinous rice, lean meat, vegetables, and then there is a quail egg.

This meal is only half a tael.

"Your Majesty, please!"

"This, is it all for this one bite of food?"

Li Daozong replied very calmly: "Of course, all the delicious food is concentrated in this mouthful of rice. This dish is called steamed rice. ”

Let's not talk about whether it is delicious or not, just this style, this bite of food is enough to shock the whole of Constantine.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

"Your Majesty, next is the second most famous dish in my Tang Dynasty. A Thousand Goose Feast! ”

Heraclius felt an urge to go mad, and he put up an iron plate two feet long, which was heated by fire, and then drove the geese to run on the iron plate, but gave herself the paws of the goose that had been scalded off by the hot iron plate.

The first dish of Datang, nameless.

In front of Heraclius was a plate of carp beards.

"This dish has no name, because I can't find a suitable name to give it, carp has a special meaning in my Datang, this dish needs to select two thousand Yellow River carp, and the final essence is just like this, and it is preserved and transported here in a very special way, especially to keep it as fresh as a few months ago."

Heraclius didn't know what to do with his knife and fork, and in his eyes the dish was worth a box of gold coins.

He wanted to know if the parts of the fish that weren't good were there.

"Let's have a feast!" Li Daozong also no longer explained to Heraclius, so he ordered a banquet.

The maids entered in turn, and each person had eight cold dishes in front of the table, each plate was also a mouthful, and then the hot dishes were officially served, and the banquet was officially started.

Especially from the Tang Dynasty to find the music and dance troupe, juggling and other performances.

The Roman Emperor Heraclius drank a little high, and many of the Roman nobles were wondering, could they afford such a banquet? Half of the family property is tossed into a banquet, which is really terrible.
