Chapter 23 Song Dynasty Cuisine
Find time to post a few pictures of Song Dynasty food, which are said to have been handed down to modern times in the Song Dynasty......
Several people had their own thoughts, and they forgot to speak for a while. Qingqing obediently poured wine for the bit, and Wen Fei tasted a few sips absentmindedly. The mouth is sweet and refreshing, but the alcohol content is not high. Let Wen Fei feel that this wine is more similar to beer.
"Come, come, come...... Taste the unique liquor of this alum building. Cai Jing found out that it was cold, and hurriedly treated the guests and arranged for He Huan to sit down.
Although Wen Fei felt that this wine tasted strange, it was a famous wine at that time after all. If nothing else, the filtration technology is not bad. The wine in the glass is transparent in color and has no impurities. But it was much better than the muddy wine that Wen Fei saw when he was in Lanzhou. It is estimated that because of this, it is called agar jelly.
That Cai Jing can get to such a high position now, it is definitely not a waste of fame. Entertaining the two of them attentively, Wen Fei and He Huan both felt like a spring breeze, raised their ivory chopsticks, gently tapped them on the jade basin, and hummed softly in their mouths: "The restaurant in the city is high in the sky, cooking dragons and phoenixes are fatty and fresh." Gongsun got off the horse and smelled drunk, and he did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars on a drink. Recruit distinguished guests, lead high sages, and sing the orchestra upstairs. All kinds of beautiful things and delicacies, and the railings on all sides are painted eaves. ”
Wen Fei didn't understand the quality of this word, but Cai Jing chanted, but the melody of music was very beautiful. Let Wen Fei applaud.
The atmosphere was a little lively, and Cai Jing pointed to a pot of dishes and said: "This dish is called Sheep Tongue Jian, come and come, Father Shang must not have eaten it, but he came to taste it...... Zhong Hao, come on, come on......"
Wen Fei looked at that thing like a lotus flower, and it looked really beautiful. Take a bite down. The first time I chewed it, it was just a fried meat roll, but when I chewed it a second time, I realized that it was wrong.
This is no ordinary meat roll, the outer layer is wrapped with shredded meat. This shredded meat is a little different from what he has eaten before, not to mention the crispy and chewy, the meat is delicate, I think this is the lamb tongue. As for the meat puree wrapped inside, it is smooth and refreshing when chewed gently, and the most valuable thing is that it is full of umami. Does it seem to be fish?
Cai Jing laughed: "But you guessed it by Father Shang." Not bad, not bad. This dish is loved by the old man, and it is a little troublesome to make. Open an egg to boil. Beat the egg whites and yolks separately.
Cut the lamb tongue into shreds, mix well with salt, egg white, wet taro flour, sesame oil. Then divide the shredded lamb tongue and minced fish into two parts, stack and roll into a cylinder, and steam them slightly over a strong fire. Mix flour and wet taro flour with egg yolk salt to make an egg batter.
Heat a wok and add the lard. Lamb tongue rolls dipped in dried taro powder. Hang the egg batter, fry it in the pan until the crust is golden brown, cut it into small slices and stack it neatly on the plate, as if it is a blooming lotus flower, and then put on a variety of decorative side dishes, and this is the finished business. ”
Wen Fei was staggered, although he was born in the big foodie empire, he didn't have any special hobbies and studies about eating. A dish with such a complex process like this. But this is the first time I've heard of it.
That situation is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and hearing that it takes a few chickens to burn an eggplant......
Speaking of which, though. This stir-fried dish has not yet become popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and eating vegetables in front of people like Wen Fei, who are used to being pus and oil in later generations, inevitably feels too light. If you eat occasionally, you still feel that you can, and if you eat it for a long time, you can use a sentence that is often on the lips of this rough person in Tokyo City, called: "A bird fades out of the mouth!"
I don't know if this kind of diet can be adapted to modern time and space? Wen Fei never forgot his plan to make a fortune in modern time and space. Whether you want to go against the sky in the Northern Song Dynasty, or change your historical luck, in the final analysis, the most important thing is money. The funds of modern time and space can support their own careers!
After adjusting the atmosphere, Wen Fei said: "What Cai Xianggong said just now, you can't do it!"
Cai Jing's heart perked when he heard this, as a political figure, he suddenly lost his authority and was ousted from the phase. This Cai Jing felt that his life was like a year, and he planned to return to the central phase with this immortal money. Now when I heard Wen Fei say, I was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, Wen Fei also learned to hang people's appetites, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "I heard that Cai Xianggong and my senior brother are a little discordant?"
Cai Jing sighed, this was originally a topic that could not be bypassed. But Cai Jing said: "You, senior brother, I don't know who you are bewitched by, and you actually open your eyes for those old parties...... It's incompatible with the old man. The old man is the prime minister this time, and there is also your senior brother who is troublesome!"
Wen Fei smiled bitterly, although Cai Jing is now out of order. But in history, this product has been reinstated several times, and it turns out that Zhao Ji is indispensable to Cai Jing to give him financial management. Otherwise, Cai Jing would not have finally grasped the power of the country for more than 20 years, and the resentment was all over the world.
The most important thing is that Wen Fei himself looks down on the actions of the old party. Of course, he was not a supporter of the New Party. But Wen Fei felt that compared with the old party of those pig teammates who could only pull back, Wen Fei was still willing to cooperate with the new party.
Wen Fei thought about it, and said, "I'll have a good talk with my senior brother when I go back!" By the way, is there any other major event in the DPRK and China?"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Father Shang has always been unconcerned about the affairs of the imperial court." It's strange now, but there are really a few things that have a lot to do with the monk's father!"
When Wen Fei heard about the things that had something to do with him, and there was more than one thing, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked, "What is it?"
"It's nothing, the first thing is that Zhang Tianjue, impeaching your Yang Jian. said that Yang Jian collected people's wealth everywhere, and the public resentment in the world was boiling. even forced Shuibo Liangshan to rebel, and failed to attack it several times, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and even concealed the ...... of the imperial court."
Yang Jian's matter, Wen Fei already knew. didn't expect to be impeached by Zhang Shangying. I suddenly hated Yang Jian's guy even more in my heart, and I couldn't wait to find this thing and chop it off immediately. It's just that this thing can't be handled in this way.
Yang Jian is not a nobody, not an ordinary eunuch. Now he still holds the official position of the envoy of the festival, and he has Zhao Ji's trust. It's not that Wen Fei will kill if he says kill......
"The second thing is bigger!" Cai Jing said: "The Liao State has sent envoys to mediate the war between our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia. To put it bluntly, I just don't want my Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Western Xia ......"
He Huan sat on the side and listened quietly, these are all military affairs. Naturally, there was no room for him to interject, but as he listened, his whole body felt boiling. Very excited. In the whole world, how many people can hear Shang's father and Cai Xianggong discussing military affairs?
Wen Fei snorted coldly: "I'm afraid these people from the Liao Kingdom are stupid! By the way, how is the war going now?"
Just hearing that the Liao State came to give the Western Xia a bias, Wen Fei knew that the Western Army was fighting well. If it weren't for the pressure on the Western Xia, the war in the Western Xia would not be favorable, and the Liao State would not have jumped out.
Cai Jing showed a hint of a smile, he was the main battle faction: "This is thanks to Shang's father's approach, the entire Western Xia earthquake, Xingqing Mansion collapsed by half, and the Western Xia suffered heavy casualties." Unable to resist my Great Song official family. Now he was beaten badly...... It's just that this time the Liao State sent people, and we are afraid that we will collect our troops!"
Wen Fei heard this, and showed a sneer: "Who said that the troops were going to be collected, grandma, am I still afraid that the Khitans will not succeed, let them have a kind of let the horses come!"
Cai Jing sighed: "If the old man is Xiangguo, he will naturally be tough to the end." It's just that the father-in-law who has replaced the old man now is afraid that they won't be so bold!"
Wen Fei thought about it, he couldn't remember who was the person who replaced Cai Jing. It seems that these guys must belong to the unknown juniors in history, although they know that Cai Jing is complaining in front of him. I want to use my own strength to reinstate, but there is a saying in the future that I would rather have an opponent like a god than a teammate like a pig.
Cai Jing's goods were said to be a big traitor and evil by later generations, but this product has the ability. The big things you want to do, you can't do alone. With the help of teammates like Cai Jing, you can't let your pig teammates drag you back. Therefore, he said angrily: "Cai Xianggong rest assured, I will go to the official family to talk about your affairs!"
Cai Jing was suddenly overjoyed, and the wine glass in his hand trembled slightly. After a pause, he calmed down and said with a smile: "In this way, the old man will do it first as a respect...... In the future, only my father will be the first to look forward!"
I don't know if what the old fox said is true or not, but when I heard it. Wen Fei was still overjoyed in his heart, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Cai Jing smiled, and said to He Huan: "Zhong Hao, you have to work hard, this year is another year of Dabi!" The hint in the words can be heard even by the deaf.
He Huan was originally excited to hear the secret conversation between the two most powerful people in Fang Jin and the Great Song Dynasty, but when he heard Cai Jing talk about himself, he immediately said excitedly: "Thank you Cai Xianggong, thank you Father Shang!"
Cai Jing laughed: "The old man likes talented young people the most. Back then, the old man was also favored by the prince like this, and the sea has been up and down for decades, so that there is today's ......"
He Huan listened to Cai Jing comparing him with himself, and suddenly became even more excited: "How dare Zhong Hao compare with Cai Xianggong, if he can have half of Cai Xianggong's achievements, Zhong Hao will be satisfied!"
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Although my Great Song Dynasty has been changing his law since Wang Xianggong, he has become stronger. But for example, there are still many crises today, and these are all things that need to be done by latecomers. If one generation is not as good as the generation, my big Song will be going down the river......" After that, he laughed again: "The hour is not early, and the old man is not energetic," and smiled narrowly at Qingqing: "** It's short, don't waste it!"
Saying that, he got up and said goodbye, from beginning to end. This minister of the Great Song Dynasty, one of the most famous traitors in later generations, has always been quite open-minded, and he treats people like a spring breeze. Bearing is heartbreaking......
After Cai Jing left, He Huan wanted to leave. Wen Fei suddenly asked: "Zhong Hao, come and see, how is Cai Xianggong a human being?"
