Chapter 557: The Famous Dish of the Hermit of Zhongnan
Tianjun also bit the chicken leg at this time and got carried away: "Follow us for a yang ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Follow our Yiyang Young Master is making a lot of money, and you can always meet good things when you go out, as well as good food and drink." ”
Relatively speaking, Snow Goose was much calmer, and I saw her slowly pick up a piece of white fish meat, gently put it in her mouth and chew it slowly.
As the fish slowly chewed in her mouth, her expression began to change to enjoyment and contentment, like the feeling of drinking a glass of ice water on a summer day.
After eating a piece of fish, Snow Goose's face was already full of joy, and at the same time, she quickly sandwiched a piece of fish into my bowl, and said softly: "Yiyang, this fish is amazing, there is no trace of fishiness at all, and it is soft and delicious and has a dense texture, and there is a faint fragrance of grass in the mouth, and there is a rich aroma after dipping it in the soup, which is really full of color and flavor." ”
Is it?
I asked a rhetorical question calmly, and my fingers involuntarily picked up the fish meat that the snow goose had given me, and put it in my mouth under the gaze of everyone.
The moment I entered the mouth, I did smell a faint fragrance, just like the grass that had just sprouted from the spring breeze under the warm spring sun, pure and without a trace of impurities.
After chewing a little, I felt a hint of fragrant flavor in the fish, accompanied by the faint grass fragrance that stimulated people's taste buds, just like ice and fire.
After a piece of fish was ingested, I was already speechless with some shock.
If the Manchu and Han banquets represent the highest level of Chinese cuisine, then the dishes we eat in Tianzhen Restaurant today are definitely only available in heaven, and they have never been heard of in the world.
"Little brother Yiyang, how do you feel about the taste of this fish?" The sound of detachment sounded in my ears.
I slowly put down my chopsticks, and I was already admiring this dish in my heart, but for the sake of demeanor and other issues, I could only pretend to be calm and answer: "It is indeed a pretty good dish, the thickness of the marinade and the fragrance of the grass instantly open people's appetite like ice and fire." ”
Liluo gave me a thumbs up and exclaimed: "That's right, the little brother Yiyang really has an extraordinary taste, the characteristics of this dish lie in the fragrance of the grass and the heaviness of the marinade, and the two completely different flavors are used in this famous dish of "How can summer insects speak ice", which definitely complements each other." ”
What?
"You say the name of this dish is "Summer Worms, How Can You Say Ice"? Snow Goose and I asked in unison.
"yes, is there a problem?" Liluo seemed a little surprised by the surprised expressions of Snow Goose and me.
After involuntarily glancing at each other with Snow Goose, I saw a long-lost look and emotion in each other's eyes.
That's right, isn't this dish called "Xia Worm Yu Bing" just in line with our Xia Yubing sister's smart but pungent character?
Thinking of this, my heart has a trace of concern for her.
It's been twelve years, and I wonder how she's doing now?
Tianjun asked curiously at this time: "Uncle Liluo, how can this summer insect talk about ice?" ”
"It can't be invented by the cattle people in your immortal cultivation realm again, right?"
No.
This time, it was still Fairy Tan Yuan who was the first to answer.
"Sister fairy, tell us the origin of this dish!" Tianjun cheekily shouted, when did the saint of the dignified Aoki Palace become his fairy sister?
Tan Yuan glanced at Tianjun with loving eyes, and then analyzed in her round and jade-like voice: "How can this Xia insect be a hermit from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. ”
According to legend, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a hermit called "Husi Mountain Man" in the Tiandu Peak of Zhongnan Mountain, he was a very talented person, and he was proficient in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
"However, it is a pity that he participated in the imperial examination five times, but unfortunately he did not win the examination, so he was disheartened and simply went to Zhongnan alone and became a hermit."
And this "summer insect can talk about ice" is said to be when he lived in seclusion on the mountain, because of the expectation of fame in his heart, but the complex mood of real life made him prohibitive, so he created this famous dish that can be called ice and fire, in fact, it is also the most true portrayal of the hermit's heart at that time. ”
When Tan Yuan said this, he suddenly paused, and seemed to sigh softly, although through the white veil, I could feel the change in her mood.
After sighing, she continued to give us the pedigree: "When he made this dish back then, the ingredient used was the relict fish in the Linxian Cave of Tiandu Peak in Zhongnan Mountain. ”
"This fatty fish has existed since ancient times, and it has also been explained in detail in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"It's just that with the changes of the times and the development of history, there are many things that have completely disappeared in the vast river of history, and the former Linxian Cave of Zhongnan Mountain is nowhere to be found, and as for the relict fish, it is extinct from the world."
Listening to her tell this history like a few family treasures, and at the same time looking at her beautiful eyebrows that were slightly crepe because of emotion, why there was a trace of sourness in her heart, and at the same time, she also had more expectations for her true face of Lushan.
Of course, what surprised me the most was her vast knowledge.
I always thought that the people who cultivated immortals didn't care about the world, especially a noble saint like her, she should be pure and unrestrained.
But listening to what she just said, she knows the ancient and modern history well, and even the wild history of "Husi Mountain People", she can easily come to it, in all fairness, in terms of knowledge, she is indeed far more than Snow Goose and Xian'er.
This should be one of the best women I've ever seen in my life.
After three rounds of wine, Liluo still told us to eat more, and told us that this Tianzhen restaurant is not open every day to welcome customers, and the last time Tianzhen restaurant opened its doors to welcome customers was back to a night pearl auction 80 years ago, so the big guys must seize this opportunity to enjoy this rare delicacy.
Dingdingding......
A crisp and melodious bronze bell suddenly rang from the third floor of the restaurant.
At the same time, I heard some commotion upstairs and downstairs.
Fairy Tan Yuan, who was sitting near me, slowly got up from her seat, and said to me and Liluo Wenwen reasonably: "Uncle Liluo, Young Master Bai, the sword shooting conference is about to start, you guys hurry over after eating." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and went downstairs with two entourages like a weak willow supporting the wind.
