"This circumference, matching, inlay, stuffing, said that the ground is the plastic art of the court cuisine, the word, "around" is to surround the meat with vegetarian dishes, to small around the large, and pay attention to the use of the meat and vegetarian dishes themselves in the color, texture, taste, nutrients and other aspects of the different characteristics, to coordinate the color and seasoning of the whole dish of dishes, set off the main ingredients, highlight the main taste, so that the two in the taste, nutrition and other aspects play a role in complementing each other. ”

"Matching" is to require two ingredients with different shapes to be paired together in pairs, so as to give a specific meaning, such as "yellow sunflower with snow plum" made by matching shrimp balls and meat dumplings. ”

"Inlay" refers to the embellishment of one raw material with another specially processed raw material to make the dish more realistic image, such as "goldfish playing lotus" is made of green peppers, peas, shrimp tails, etc. as inlay materials, and is inlaid and embellished on the fish-shaped embryo made of whole shrimp and mushroom paste. ”

"Stuffing" is to be refined all kinds of raw materials, such as puree, silk, grains, etc. in the shaping raw materials, so that the shape of the dish is more complete and full, the taste is more mellow and delicious. ”

"Masson is right about what he said just now, it is indeed difficult to promote this court dish, because many precious ingredients are game. But there are also those that are simply based on the chef's craftsmanship or process. ”

"Just like you just said, the yellow sunflower with Xuemei and the goldfish playing lotus?" Chang Zheng asked.

"Not bad," Ruan Tang nodded, "The palace cuisine should avoid the simplification of the raw materials of the dishes, and generally requires the combination of two or more varieties of dishes. Loose and round style.In the processing and cutting of raw materials, the court cuisine has strict and subtle requirements for knife work.In addition to the factors of modeling according to the characteristics of raw materials, we should also pay attention to the cooking of raw materials to make it easy to taste.Knife skills are exquisite and rich, and the processing requirements are rigorous. ”

"Imperial cuisine is not only game, but also has the characteristics of paying attention to the season, pasta, dried and fresh fruits, cooking dishes with many barbecue and stewing techniques, and the raw materials and seasonings of the dishes are fixed. ”

"In the Qing Dynasty, this court dish flowed into the people, in addition to the eight treasures we talked about before, the Qing Dynasty appeared mountain eight treasures, sea eight treasures, upper eight treasures, and lower eight treasures. ”

"These eight treasures are naturally the ones that the Son of Heaven ate in the past, and there is a famous dish in the Northeast now, chicken stewed mushrooms. Ruan Tang blinked, this was not her alarmist.

Chicken stewed mushrooms, anyone can make it, but the ingredients are more refined and the process is more complicated.

"This Bazhen refers to the eight bowls that the Manchus usually eat. That is, the Manchu people's banquet dishes in the past, the Manchu traditional banquet will use 5 tripods and 8 cups, 8 bowls are called "eight bowls" today, and 8 kinds of dishes are served, which are used to grill, stew, sauce, burn, stew, stir-fry, steam, slip and so on 8 different kitchen skills and cooking dishes. The Manchu people celebrate festivals and weddings, and there are eight big bowls on the banquet. ”

"We used to hear people say that the Manchu and Han Dynasty were full of seats, and this is the four or eight treasures. In addition to the eight treasures of the mountain, the eight treasures of the sea, and the eight treasures of birds, there is also a kind of grass eight treasures. ”

"Shanbazhen, everyone knows, is all kinds of game, so what about this sea Bazhen, refers to fish roe, shark fin, sea cucumber, fish maw, fish bone, abalone, fish lip, dried scallops. ”

"There are naturally some ingredients in this are not prohibited, and the eight treasures of this bird are: red swallows, flying dragons, quails, swans, partridges, colorful finch, turtle doves, and red-headed eagles. ”

"Many people know how to breed this quail. ”

"As for the eight treasures of this grass, it is also called the eight treasures of the nettle, which is a variety of mountain mushrooms: monkey's head, white fungus, bamboo sun, donkey nest mushroom, morel, mushroom, daylily, and cloud incense. ”

"If you want to find these things, you can still find them. Ruan Tang said, in general, there is still room for promotion, the key is to see which dishes you are promoting.

"If this Manchu and Han banquet really has these four or eight treasures, it will really be a treasure of the mountains and the sea. Chen Xinghan had heard of some of the ingredients Ruan Tang said, but some had never heard of them.

What he had heard was abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, etc., and the rest of Chen Xinghan was starry in front of him.

"When it comes to the taste of this monkey's head, it's really amazing. "Masson smashed his mouth, and seemed to be still reminiscing about the taste of the lion's mane mushroom he ate last time.

That was when Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu went into the mountains to see the Monkey King, and found it outside the valley of the Monkey King. The smell is really unforgettable.

"That's a pure wild lion's mane mushroom, or Xiao Luo found it in the mountains, speaking of which, after the rain, let's go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, look at this, there should be a lot of mushroom varieties in the mountains." ”

Masson made such a suggestion while slicing the fish neatly. He has been in Qingshui Village for so long, and he has not been to the mountains yet, how dare a person?

"Okay, wait until it rains. Luo Tong also wants to go into the mountains to play, and it can be said that she is blessed to go into the mountains. Because of his ability, it can be said that he is far more comfortable in the mountains than under the mountains, and he is more like a fish in water.

It's just that because she gave birth to Xiao Baozi, most of her time was spent on Xiao Baozi, so the plan to enter the mountain was also shelved for a long time.

The two of them talked and talked about the topic, Ruan Tang covered the Wanfu meat and the red stewed meat, and went out with Chang Zheng and Chen Xinghan. As long as it's late, it's still noisy in the kitchen.

Luo Tong can only accompany him to sit in the kitchen, eat snacks, drink tea, and life is so leisurely.

Ruan Tang and Chang Zheng walked out of the kitchen, and Chang Zheng suddenly pulled Ruan Tang around the ground and arrived at a small corner.

Ruan Tang looked around, empty and empty: "What are we doing here?"

Chang Zheng propped up the wall with one hand, trapped Ruan Tang between himself and the wall, and looked at Ruan Tang with a heavy gaze: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I wanted to do it when you just talked to Ma Sen about this palace dish." ”

Ruan Tang didn't understand: "We just communicated, and we didn't say anything else, besides, didn't you see the whole thing?"
