Chapter 262: Tasting Delicacies in the Temple

"Two... Choi County Order! ”

As soon as Cui Geng's timely rain appeared, Lu Ruolan smiled like a flower, as bright as the morning sun, and hurriedly beckoned: "Come over quickly, the slave family is looking for you for something." ”

How clever is Cui Geng? As soon as he saw the situation in front of him, he didn't understand what the other party meant, walked forward quickly, didn't look at Wang Dazhong, and smiled at Lu Ruolan: "Haha, that's a coincidence, this official also has something to talk to about with Little Lady Lu." ”

As he spoke, Cui Geng glanced at the people around him.

Feng Changqing and County Lieutenant Yongguang immediately understood, and strode past Cui Geng side by side, squeezing into the middle of Wang Dazhong and Lu Ruolan, deliberately separating the two by force.

Wang Dazhong was immediately so angry that his face was like sauce.

The master was humiliated, and his twenty or so gangsters naturally couldn't do it, and one of his companions was also considered powerful, and jumped forward and scolded: "Wu Na pickled man, good dog doesn't get in the way, get out!" ”

"Jumping foot bug, how can you have your teeth here?" Feng Changqing sneered.

Yongguang also boasted that he was too lazy to worry about a companion as a county lieutenant, but Feng Changqing was not used to him, so he stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the neck of the companion, shook his right hand fiercely, and shouted: "Get out of your mother, get up!" ”

Boom!

The companion was swept out two or three feet away, "fell to the ground, "oops" and "oops", and he couldn't get up again.

Wang Dazhong is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and he was secretly annoyed by Cui Geng's sudden appearance and disturbing his own good things. At this time, seeing that his right-hand man was so humiliated by a little guard under Cui Geng's hand, how could he still swallow this evil breath?

Isn't that a slap in the face? Could it be that the surname Cui doesn't know that his father is the imperial servant of the imperial history, and the new head of Lijingmen Jiangnan Province?

Once upon a time, he Wang Dazhong was in this small Yangzhou city, and he suffered this wretchedness?

Immediately, he raised his arms and shouted: "My son has been bullied to this extent, why are you still stupid?" Go on, go up together, and hit the son hard! There's really something going on, this son is carrying it for you. ”

"You're in your pocket? Are you worthy? ”

Cang Chang Chang ~~

Without waiting for Cui Geng's order, Feng Changqing had already reached out and pulled out the waist knife, and shouted in a deep voice: "A certain family is the imperial court Qin Feng Xuanyi Lang Feng Changqing, this is Jiangdu County Lieutenant Yongguang, you are waiting to beat the court officials on the street, do you want to rebel?" ”

If it was a year ago, Eli Jingmen's arrogance really didn't care about this.

But now it's different from the past, the first cool official celebrity Lai Junchen was demoted, Hou Sizhi and Meng Shenshuang were killed alive, and now their courage is not as good as before.

Although these companions are thugs, they are not stupid. They all understand, let alone killing, even if it is a small cut in someone's clothes, this letter from Jiangdu County behind Chang Qing has a reason to transfer troops to take people.

When I arrived at the Jiangdu County Ya, not to mention anything else, I would first give them dozens of boards to kill and kill, hehe, not long ago in front of the ancestral house of the Liang family, Liang Yougui's experience is not far away!

Suddenly, the men who accompanied the men scolded Wang Dazhong, and they all stood still.

At this time, Song Genhai saw that Feng Changqing had a great prestige in front of Master Cui, and naturally he was unwilling, so he took off the chain around his waist in a hurry, waved his hand at the fast hunters who were accompanying him, rushed up, and said loudly: "How daring, do you want to confront and rebel here?" Get out of here! ”

The fast arresters shot one after another, and the chain iron ruler sounded loudly.

Seeing that they could only be beaten and couldn't fight back, no one could cover it, and the men hugged their heads for a while and scattered.

In an instant, Wang Dazhong became the commander of the light pole.

Flute ~~

Song Genhai, who stole Feng Changqing's limelight, put the chain on Wang Dazhong's shoulder again, and snorted: "What's the matter, Wang Gongzi? Do you want to stay here and flirt with the daughter of a good family? If you know each other, you can stay where it is cool, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. ”

No matter how much Wang Dazhong embroiders pillows, he can see what the situation is in front of him, and he will definitely suffer a loss if he stays here. But he is also a well-known person, so naturally he can't admit it, and he said stiffly: "My father is the king of the imperial history, Hongyi, and my son doesn't believe it, you really dare to fight...... Yes!!! How do you dare to hit Ben Boy? ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a black shadow flicker in front of him, and then from head to shoulder, a sharp pain came!

"You ......"

Syllable!

The second time is coming!

Song Genhai held the chain, bared his teeth and smiled: "How is it?" Wang Gongzi, this third time, do you dare to bet on the head again? ”

"Uh...... This son doesn't have the same knowledge as your little head catcher! ”

Wang Dazhong didn't dare to die anymore this time, so he turned around and ran away.

He ran dozens of steps and joined those companions before he suddenly stopped, threw his arms and shouted: "Cui Erlang, you wait!" Hit Ben Gongzi, this thing is not over! ”

Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and sneered: "This is what Junchen said, the official believes it, as for you...... Seal the guards! ”

"Yes!"

"Shine your special skill, let our prince be sober and sober!"

"Yes."

Feng Changqing stretched out his hand and took down the bow and arrow he was carrying behind his back.

The bow is as open as the full moon, and the arrow is like a meteor!

Puff...... Sou!

A carved arrow was inserted into Wang Dazhong's head impartially!

If this goes a little further, I'm afraid it will be......

Wang Dazhong was so frightened that his pupils were dilated, his throat was dry, his throat was tight, and his legs were wooden.

Tick, tick, tick......

A puddle of water quickly took shape under his feet.

"This boy can't be scared, right?"

There were many pilgrims who came to visit the temple fair, and although everyone did not dare to get involved in the affairs of these two families, it did not prevent them from standing far away and watching the excitement.

Suddenly, sharp-eyed pilgrims noticed the situation.

For a time, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, hundreds passed thousands, everyone present found Wang Dazhong's embarrassment, and burst into laughter!

Wang Dazhong was ashamed, annoyed and afraid, and he didn't dare to say anything more, not to mention how depressed he was.

I had to say hello and quickly withdraw with my companions.

……

Seeing Wang Dazhong leaving, Lu Ruolan was secretly relieved, and then stepped forward to greet Cui Geng, and explained in detail how Wang Dazhong was rude to her.

Cui Geng couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, Lu Ruolan's few maids were powerless, and the Shenhui monks brought a few strong monks. Even if they are defeated by Wang Dazhong's companions, they always have the strength to fight, right? With his close relationship with Lu Ruolan and Zou Huozi, why didn't he come out when he saw Lu Ruolan being molested?

Thinking of this, he sneered and sneered: "I thought that the master of the Shenhui was a high-ranking monk, but when I saw it today, hehe, although I don't know how his Dharma cultivation is, but this shrunken turtle's ability is really perfect." ”

"Cui County's order is misunderstood." Lu Ruolan hurriedly said: "Master Shenhui has something unspeakable, and he can't be blamed for this matter." ”

Everyone said so, and Cui Geng was no longer reluctant, he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this." It's rare to see Little Lady Lu today, why don't you invite you to a light meal? ”

When Lu Ruolan heard this, a light smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said jokingly: "Cui Xianling just helped the concubine a favor, so let the concubine accompany you to eat, your reputation of 'never suffering' is really not for nothing!" ”

Cui Geng was stunned, damn, when did buddy have this nickname? Then he snorted and said: "Little lady Lu, if you say so, you really treat the kindness of this official as a donkey's liver and lungs." To tell the truth, it was the official who got some rare delicacies, and he couldn't bear to enjoy them alone, and he was willing to share them with Little Lady Lu. ”

"Really? The concubine will believe in you once. ”

The monk of the Shenhui did not follow him, and went to settle accounts with the little monk Huiming. And Lu Ruolan took a few maids, followed Cui Geng and others, to a rather secluded courtyard.

Those maids were led by Yao Du and others to another room to rest, and in the small meditation room, only Cui Geng and Lu Ruolan were left for a while.

The meditation room is quiet, the dark fragrance is wafting, a man and a woman are alone in a room, and Cui Geng's heart is rippling, and an ambiguous and charming atmosphere rises in the room unconsciously.

Seeing Cui Geng's dizzying eyes and staring at him for a long time, Lu Ruolan was suddenly a little at a loss, her palms were slightly hot, her face was red, she took a sip and said, "What do you see?" Lecher!!! ”

Cui Geng smiled, scratched his left cheek, and said, "You are a little unreasonable, I kindly invited you to dinner, it's just that you are not grateful, why do you still scold people?" ”

"Hmph, the thing you gave to your concubine a few days ago is not an exaggeration to scold you for being a disciple. And why did you break up my maid? deliberately arranged for lonely men and widows to live in the same room, do you dare to say that you are upright? ”

"Hey, that, that......"

Of course, Cui Geng has some bad intentions, men are sick, if he has this kind of opportunity, if he doesn't have a fragrance in the dark room, wouldn't he be sorry for himself? However, he did have his own reasons for arranging it today, and immediately explained: "Little lady Lu, don't bring such a wronged person, the reason why this official broke them apart is because today's dish is extremely special, and it needs to be kept secret for the time being." ”

Lu Ruolan raised her eyebrows slightly, and snorted coquettishly to express disbelief: "Do you want to keep it secret when you eat?" Cui Erlang, even if you lie, make up a decent reason, okay? ”

"Cut, believe it or not, you'll find out in a moment." Cui Geng no longer explained, but raised his hand and clapped his hands twice, and shouted outside the meditation room, "Come on, send it into the meditation room!" ”

The effort is not big, there is a little monk with a tray in, there are four dishes of side dishes on it, the green is verdant, the white one does not let the fat condense, and the yellow one is pleasing to the eye.

Lu Ruolan stepped forward, and a special fragrance penetrated into her nose, making her index finger move.

She nodded slightly, and praised: "This small dish looks good, and it tastes good, but this color is ...... In order to maintain the strange color of the ingredients, I am afraid that these dishes are half-cooked, right? ”

"What are you talking about? Since it's a dish, it must be for people to eat, what's the matter if it's half-cooked? ”

Cui Geng stretched out his hand and pointed, Nunu said, "Why don't you taste it and comment on it?" ”

"Hmm... Taste it, you taste it. ”

Lu Ruolan picked up her chopsticks, put a piece of spring bamboo shoots in her mouth, covered her mouth with her hand and chewed it slowly.

But looking at her expression, I enjoyed the delicacy a lot.

Cui Geng smiled: "What does Little Lady Lu think of this dish?" ”

Lu Ruolan gently wiped the corners of her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, pursed her red lips, and nodded: "Well, it's delicious!" It not only maintains the original color and flavor of spring bamboo shoots, but also completely breaks off, and what is more peculiar is... Well... The concubine can't talk about it, but she thinks it's ......."

Cui Gengdao: "But do you think the combination of this oil and the dishes is intimate, and it is extraordinarily delicious?" ”

"That's what it means."

Lu Ruolan said thoughtfully: "Looking at the appearance of this dish, it should be fried, right?" But aren't the monks incapable of touching meat? ”

"Of course, the monk doesn't move meat." Cui Geng said, "But these dishes are not fried, but fried." As for the oil used by monks, it is not meat oil. ”

"Fried? What is frying? Lu Ruolan's eyes were full of suspicion, and she was very good-looking, "I heard Wang Dazhong say just now that it was Cui County's order that helped Falian Temple get Buddha ice." Could it be that this stir-fry is also from Cui County's handiwork? ”

She really guessed correctly, it was indeed Cui Geng's handiwork.

In the Tang Dynasty's cooking techniques, there is no such thing as stir-frying. The technique of stir-frying was not invented until the Song Dynasty, and for a long time, it was regarded as an untold secret by the chefs of high-end restaurants.

As for such a layer of window paper, why it has not been pierced for more than a thousand years from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Great Song Dynasty, it is not that we Chinese are not smart enough, but that there are two preconditions that have not been solved.

The first one is a wok. Although iron pots came out in the Han Dynasty, they were thick and bulky, and were not suitable for stir-frying.

A copper pot can be made into a wok, but ...... There's no stir-frying, and there's no need for this. And most importantly, copper is the raw material for making money, which is very precious in its own right. It's not a rich family, no one will use copper pots as cooking utensils.

The second factor is that there is no suitable oil. In ancient times, pigs didn't have much fat, let alone cattle and sheep. So, the price of animal fats and fats is high. As for vegetable fats and oils? There are, such as soybean oil, sesame oil, rapeseed oil or something. But these oils have not been used as food, but as a raw material needed to make cloth. Who would use the original cloth as cooking oil?

……

With the help of Cui Geng, Northern Zen Buddhism mastered the method of turning well water into spring water, which could be used to attract pilgrims for a long time.

But the popular talk of Southern Zen Buddhism "Journey to the West" is not good, because word of mouth is easy to be "pirated", that is, it is useful in the temple fair for a few days.

Therefore, Cui Geng thought of two methods for the little monk Huiming, Buddha ice and stir-frying.

The so-called Buddha ice is to put nitrate into water, and the water temperature will quickly drop and condense into ice. According to the trajectory of history, this principle was not discovered until the Song Dynasty, so that many summer ice vendors appeared.

As for this stir-fry. After a simple reminder by Cui Geng, the monks of Falian Temple made a copper pot suitable for stir-frying, and then stir-fried it with soybean oil, and the first stir-fry in the world was born.

"That's not right!"

Listening to Cui Geng briefly explain the principle of stir-frying, Lu Ruolan suddenly became a little lacking in interest, and said: "This stir-fried dish does have its own unique flavor, but if Cui Xianling wants to say that these small dishes are rare and delicious that can't bear to be enjoyed exclusively, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration, right?" ”

Lu Ruolan looked at Cui Geng with wide eyes, with a look of disgust on her face, "Are you bragging?"

"I'll rub, doesn't that count?"

Cui Geng spread his hands and said, "Okay, since stir-frying doesn't count, then the county can only use killer features." Estimating the time, they should also do a good job, I will let people send it in, to ensure that the little lady can't put it down! ”
