Jiang Xiaoxuan also smiled, she sandwiched a wild vegetable in the stewed chicken to eat, and said to Zhou Heng: "You have quite a lot of wild vegetables here!"

Some people just have a soft spot for wild vegetables.

Zhou Heng said: "We have everything here, but there are no economic projects to introduce. The mountains are good, the water is good, the grass is abundant, and the place is big, and I walked on the mountain road for a long time, and there are still a lot of places behind me that I haven't walked to. ”

He also knew that if there weren't so many mountains, it might be easier to build roads and so on, and maybe there would be good projects to come in.

Now, all we have to do is wait.

There are many mountain villages like this in the country, and not all of them are consumed like this.

Jiang Xiaoxuan asked again: "Cows and sheep, do you like to eat grass here?" ”

Zhou Heng laughed, herding cattle is his forte! He can know which grass cattle like to eat, and which grass is convenient for cattle to eat quickly.

However, it's too far away and the road is not easy to walk, so who will lead the cow here?

After eating, the venue was cleaned up, and everyone took a break after the meal.

To be honest, I ate too much and couldn't do anything else without stopping.

Sitting on a stone in the shade of a tree, looking up at the clear blue sky, floating white clouds, and a pleasant breeze gently blowing on your face, making you drowsy.

Sure enough, I was full of warm thoughts and slept with a warm heart.

Some of the students over there are still sitting, but they're already doing things, like doing some discussions, discussing the previous settings, and so on.

Others are ready to be put together for the manuscript.

There are some who sit and don't move, and they are also discussing some plot aspects, and these things have new ideas every day, and they will improve yesterday's setting, so there is nothing to do.

Many students have already had excellent works before they graduated, so they are now almost half professionals.

Although Gu Xueshi didn't understand those things very well, she also listened carefully, and nodded her head from time to time to praise one.

In front of semi-professionals, she may be a salted fish who can shout 666.

Zhou Heng was a little bored sitting idly, and chatted with Jiang Xiaoxuan: "You guys learn cooking, are there any interesting things? It's boring to learn to cook every day, right?"

Everyone knows that a chef is not something that can be formed in a day, and the stage of practice is usually boring and boring.

Jiang Xiaoxuan thought for a while and said, "There are really some interesting stories. ”

Zhou Heng listened attentively.

Jiang Xiaoxuan asked him: "Have you read the original book of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Do you remember what dishes Huang Rong ordered when she asked Guo Jing to invite her to dinner when she pretended to be a little beggar?"

Zhou Heng smiled: "Of course I've seen it, how can I not have seen it? At that time, the dishes she ordered were very good, and she made the young man stunned." ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan said: "The dishes that Huang Rong ordered at that time were actually very promising. She didn't just nod ...... Oh no, it should be said that Mr. Jin didn't write casually. ”

The era background of "Shooting the Condor" is the Southern Song Dynasty, after Yue Fei's death.

And the dishes that Huang Rong ordered were a banquet in the palace of Qinghe County in the Southern Song Dynasty, because they were tasted by Song Gaozong in person, so they were very famous at that time.

Song Gaozong was the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the emperor who killed Yue Fei. And in the case of killing Yue Fei, this king of Qinghe County is also one of the main forces.

In Jin Yong's books, some historical events have always been quoted.

At that time, it was said that Song Gaozong was very bored, so he went to the house of the king of Qinghe County as a guest, and wanted to eat his banquet.

The king of Qinghe County did not dare to slack off, and took out the most luxurious pomp to entertain him, so this banquet was also recorded by a historian and written into a book.

Old Man Jin must have collected this book and saw the description of this luxurious banquet, so he used it on Huang Rong's body to show that she was well-informed, and even the banquet that the emperor had eaten could come with her mouth open.

Of course, Huang Rong's meal only ordered 48 dishes, which was far less luxurious than the full banquet of Gaozong, and could only be regarded as a simplified version. The purchase capacity of private hotels, how can it be compared with the county king's mansion.

And this simplified version is enough to make the shopkeeper lose his big teeth.

On the other hand, Guo Jing invited her to this banquet without hesitation, and he didn't feel sorry for the silver at all, which must have been his plus point.

Zhou Heng listened, and immediately felt that this paragraph was really powerful, and every line was so exquisite. Although when he was reading at the time, he also felt that Huang Rong's ordering was too wasteful. It costs so much money to order a dish, and most of my belongings are gone, and I will die of distress if I put it aside.

Having said that, Mr. Jin is quite rigorous in writing books. In those years, there was no Baidu search, he had so many books in his house, and even this kind of partial door, the family should also be a rich second generation, right?

Zhou Heng asked, "Then from your Imperial Chef faction, have you specifically studied these ancient imperial chefs?"

Although the banquet in the county king's mansion is not as good as the real imperial kitchen, it should not be bad, especially if it has been tasted by the emperor and recorded by the wild history.

Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded and said: "Of course there is research, the extreme luxury of the ancients, it is really unimaginable." ”

For example, the family banquet that the emperor went to attend just now was divided into "first sitting", "resting" and "sitting again".

"First sitting" is the host after the guest enters the door to entertain the guests to dissipate the small snacks, that meal to serve the emperor's banquet, "first sitting" has seven rounds of 72 fruits, the number is amazing.

The first round of 8 dishes to see the fruit: citron, mandarin, pomegranate, orange, goose pear, milk pear, hawthorn, flower papaya.

The so-called "seeing fruit" is not used to eat, such as hawthorn and the like, which are originally astringent and difficult to swallow. Choose fruits with bright skin and bright colors to visually arouse your appetite.

In the second round of 12 dried fruits, the "four dried fruits" of Huang Rong all appeared in this round. In addition to lychee, longan, steamed jujube, ginkgo, there are fragrant lotus, quince, hazelnut, pine nut, pear meat, jujube ring, lotus seed meat, and Lin Xuan.

The third round of 10 boxes of wisp gold incense medicines, such as Chinese herbs (such as licorice, ginseng, etc.) and cinnabar. The golden incense medicine is used to freshen the air, only smell it and not eat it.

The fourth round of 12 carved candied fruits, the raw materials are plums, bamboo shoots, winter melon sugar, papaya, kumquat, ginger, oranges, etc. Carved candied fruit is a pattern food carved from melons and fruits.

Winter melon sugar, green plum, fresh ginger, and tender bamboo shoots are carved into flowers and leaves, and it is also enjoyable to watch.

What a luxury!

Just for the sake of seeing, you can spend all this thought, and the level of luxury is really visible.

In the fifth round, there were 12 dishes, and Huang Rong's two salty and sour cherries and ginger plums also appeared in them, a total of 12 exquisite salty and sour snacks.

The sixth round of 10 flavors of preserved meat, this round was ignored by Huang Rong: preserved meat is a variety of sun-dried and steamed pork strips, minced meat, etc., which are common meat and dairy products in Mongolia.

Probably because Guo Jing ordered beef and mutton liver as soon as he saw Huang Rong, Huang Rong could see that he was used to eating this taste, so he skipped it.

It can be seen that she is very careful.

The 8 plates of the seventh round and the 8 plates of "Cutting Fruits" in the first round of "Re-sitting", and the 12 dishes of "New Fruits" in the second round are all fresh fruits.

Next, it's time to sit again.

It is also a round of delicacies with a wide variety of dishes, dozens of various delicacies that were difficult to find at that time, served one after another, and the names of the types are not repeated.

After the "first sitting, then sitting", the formal banquet finally began, with a total of 15 main dishes, 2 dishes each, a total of 30 dishes.

Therefore, those that Huang Rong ordered seem to be very exaggerated, but in front of the real seat, it is still not enough to see.

I don't know how much money I get for this whole banquet.

There are so many things, just to serve the emperor alone, and I don't know how much he can eat.

Zhou Heng was speechless when he heard it, poverty really limited his imagination.

These dishes were not only difficult to find at the time, but also the craftsmanship of the recipe was naturally extremely exquisite, and the extravagance and luxury were really to a certain extent.

Speaking of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was all kinds of beatings and land reparations every day, which made people sigh when they mentioned it, but the emperor at that time just went to a county palace to walk around, which had to be served to such a degree.

Manpower and material resources, which are not money! If they are all used to fight wars, I am afraid that history will have to be rewritten!

But what about the luxury of modern banquets?

In this world, there are really people who are born to sit in a sedan chair, and there are people who are born to carry a sedan chair.

Zhou Heng sighed in his heart, in the past, the students found the wine jug, poured two glasses and brought them over, handed one to Jiang Xiaoxuan, and said, "Just for those luxurious banquets, let's have a toast." ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan took the cup with a smile and took a sip gently.

The fruit wine brewed by the villagers tastes good.

In the afternoon, the students spend an hour here, half resting, half analyzing the scene they have just taken and seeing how they can use it.

Anyway, this is their business, but Zhou Heng is idle, he wants to look around.

On the way here, I was in a hurry, and I only found a little mushroom by the way, and I didn't get anything, and I just ate them.

Just look around here for a moment and see what you can find.

Next to the bamboo forest, Zhou Heng's heart suddenly moved, thinking that he might find something delicious.

He turned around and went back and asked the students for an empty bottle that would be useful for a while.

Jiang Xiaoxuan originally wanted to sit and take a break, but seeing that he was fully prepared, he asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Good stuff. Zhou Heng replied with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoxuan became interested, so she followed him. She's afraid it's something like a wild lemon, so she'll have to keep up with it.

Zhou Heng walked to the bamboo forest to find a place with bamboo shoots or tender bamboo.

There is a kind of insect that will plague the young bamboo, and the young bamboo will die if it is bitten, and it will not grow into a bamboo. If a field of bamboo shoots has a lot of such bugs, it's over.

He's going to look for it, and catch it, and the worms are fried or roasted, and they're all delicious.

Jiang Xiaoxuan followed into the bamboo forest, and when she looked up, she was lush and green overhead, which was really refreshing.

Few people have come to this bamboo forest, only occasionally someone comes to dig some bamboo shoots to eat, and because of the long distance, there are not many people who come to dig bamboo shoots.

Most of the time, it's peaceful and undisturbed.

Walking here, time seems to have stopped, and there are endless cicadas, insects and birds chirping in my ears.
