This person is none other than Sima Tieshu!

That real Sima Tieshu who can't get the token of the imperial court's errand!

Although Zhang Qiwei was only a one-sided relationship with him, he was deeply impressed because he was always comparing with the appearance of the fake Sima Tieshu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Approaching the gatehouse, Nangong Qiu, who had a white beard, came up and clasped his fists at Zhang Qiwei and said, "Zhang Yingying, you have made great contributions to the people's harm." On behalf of the fathers and villagers of Huashu Town, I would like to prepare a little wine to express my respect and gratitude to you and all the heroes!"

"Uncle Nangong is a celebrity, I have admired you for a long time, and today I have the opportunity to worship dignity and am very happy!" Zhang Qiwei also said the cliché on the scene at that time.

"This person has a noble status, and he has important affairs to introduce, so Zhang Yingying will call Master Sima. Nangong Qiu introduced Sima Tieshu to Zhang Qiwei.

The two hugged each other according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

After entering the courtyard, we will go through two patios and we will arrive at the main house. The spirit of this Nangong Qiu family's house is still not as big as Zhang Qiwei's family, and Zhang Qiwei estimates that it is also a quadruple patio. However, this did not conform to the characteristics of the architecture of the houses at that time. So Zhang Qiwei thought that maybe there were two patios behind him. This is also only a judgment based on experience.

There were three tables in the main room and four tables in the huge patio. Now it may be a banquet that has been hastily rectified, and the banquet is still being served, so Nangong Qiu and Wang Baochang arranged Zhang Qiwei's subordinates to sit in the courtyard, and there was a gentry-like person at each table to entertain and accompany them.

Zhang Qiwei is the host and guest, and he should sit at the table. Sima Tieshu is an official of the imperial court, but he is only an escort, and he should sit under Zhang Qiwei. But at that time, it was very important to be lowly, so Sima Tieshu was promoted to the chief. Zhang Qiwei didn't sit in the second seat and pushed Nangong Qiu to take the seat.

Nangong Qiu is the owner, how can he sit in the second position of the host and guest, so he pushed Wang Baochang to sit down.

Wang Baochang is a small grass-roots sesame mung bean official who can't be smaller, and he doesn't even have a taste, how dare he sit in a row with the general Zheng Erpin of the imperial court?

In the end, this time the seat was empty.

Zhang Qiwei sat in the lower position.

At this time, the dishes on the table are ready.

This dish is configured according to the rules of Juxian people's four or sixth. Four six means four large bowls and six small bowls for food. Abbreviated as four-six.

The four large bowls are: a bowl of chicken cake.

The practice of this chicken cake is said to have originated from the court cuisine, but there was no Juxian chicken cake in the later Manchu and Han banquets. This chicken cake should be a must in Ju County, and its method is unique:

Chicken cake is a traditional dish of Ju County, chicken cake adopts traditional technology, it is characterized by the selection of materials is the pig sitting mound meat of the farmers in the mountainous areas of Ju County with grain feed, the eggs used are all the eggs laid by the free-range chickens in the mountainous areas, and the salt used is all selenium-rich, high-calcium and low-sodium health salt. The second is the fine workmanship, which is completely handmade by traditional hand, and the meat filling is chopped with a handmade knife, so the taste is authentic and pure. It is said that the wood chips on the wooden board can also add to the flavor of the chicken cake. The third is that all the condiments are completely naturally grown plants, absolutely without any additives, and there is a folk song among the people of Juxian County that "you have to drink Luyuan tea when you drink tea, and you have to eat chicken cakes when you eat cakes."

Although Zhang Qiwei also reads sage books to cook far away, he still understands how to make chicken cakes:

1. Use fresh pork, thigh meat is the best, remove the fat, only keep the pure lean meat, sprinkle salt and marinate for 48 hours. Be sure to ensure low temperature to prevent meat from spoiling.

2. Cut the marinated meat into small pieces, add the peeled water chestnuts, the ratio is 10:1, and chop into minced pieces with a knife.

3. Add soybean flour, egg white, Sichuan pepper, garlic, cooking wine and spices to the stirred minced meat and mix well. The ratio of soybean flour is 10:2, be careful not to add more or less, less cake will not be firm, more will affect the taste, and it is similar to tofu. The people of Juxian County sarcastically said that if this kind of soybean flour is added too much, the chicken cake that is too strong can be thrown across the Ju River.

4. Spread the fried tofu skin in the cage drawer, spread the meat paste on it (about 3 cm thick), steam it on a pot of boiling water for 30-40 minutes, open the cage cover, smear the raw egg yolk on the meat cake, steam it for another 5 minutes, take it out, cut it into a cross knife, continue to steam for 30 minutes, let it cool out of the cage, and cut it into appropriate small pieces.

The second course is square meat. This side of meat is to take the fat meat on the pig's sitting mound and first add salt and star anise, fennel and other spices to cook over low heat until eight minutes cooked, then scoop up and drain the water vapor, smear the meat skin with honey and wine to make a paste of condiments, put it in the oil pan and fry. When the skin of the meat is golden to dark brown, it can be scooped up with a special tool called a meat screwdriver by Juxian people with a hook. When serving, use a knife to cut into a square shape, spread pickles or Juxian specialty fried peppers, or potatoes at the bottom of the bowl, put the meat on top to form an arch, and then steam in the basket, and sprinkle green onions and garlic sprouts on the surface when out of the basket. The meat is fat but not greasy, and the mouth is full of fragrance when you bite into it.

The third bowl is simple, that is, the pork knuckles are stewed until they melt in your mouth and served on the table. Of course, when stewing, ingredients are indispensable.

The fourth bowl is crispy chicken or belly sliced yam. This is the only one of the four bowls that can be flexibly adjusted.

This crispy chicken is chopped into cubes and marinated for a period of time, and the batter mixed with soybean flour is steamed on the surface before serving.

Yam belly slices are a freshly stir-fried dish. It's very ordinary, and it can be tasted in many places in the Celestial Empire. Juxian's yam belly slices are fried with more vinegar.

Six small bowls are three meat and three vegetables. The three meat dishes can be exchanged, mainly fish, steamed meat, sausages, stir-fried meat, etc. The three vegetarians are seasonal side dishes.

At that time, the side dishes were not valuable in Ju County, and a slightly more particular family may have fried tofu in this vegetarian dish. At that time, fried tofu was somewhere between a meat dish and a vegetarian dish. It's not a joke that there is a person who eats as a guest, and eats fried tofu when he eats vegetables, and others laugh at him. He said, "You don't know, tofu is my life." Later, the master served steamed eggs, and this person only ate steamed eggs, and others laughed at him for not eating the fatal tofu. He said that when he saw the eggs, I didn't even want my life.

Another high-grade dish in vegetarian dishes is fried eggs, which are also between meat and vegetables, and stewed eggs are also.

Some rare vegetables are also dishes that are made at home.

Zhang Qiwei also knew that at that time, only families who paid attention to the quality of life or quality would have these exquisite dishes.

Of course, it's a very formal treat now. And there aren't many families who can do this in a hurry.

After Zhang Qiwei and the others sat down, they were about to serve wine.

"Uncle, there are still these monsters in your hands, and it's not child's play if you drink and make a mistake. Zhang Qiwei said.

"It doesn't matter, I've already arranged for my Zhuang Ding to take your brother's place to take care of him. You'll be able to eat at the bar with confidence. ”

Zhang Qiwei thought about it for a while, and then gave Wang Qing a look. Wang Qing understood what Zhang Qiwei was thinking, so he left the table and went out.
