After the Hongmen meeting, Tan Sitong said goodbye to everyone, did not dare to delay, and immediately hurried back to Wuhan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLong Ergang got together with his old comrades-in-arms, and Tan Sitong left him to stay in Shanxi for a while, so as to help Xu Dwarf make some sundries. I rushed back to Hubei alone.

It's already the New Year again, and the year before last, Li Yan was still taking care of her injured self in the capital, and now she has become her new wife. This year, I can't let her stay alone in the empty room.

hurriedly said goodbye because she didn't dare to face Lin Heier, she always failed her, but she never blamed herself, every time she met, she still cared for her, the more Lin Heier was like this, the more empty Tan Sitong became, and now there is one more Zhu Huanyu to stir up the situation, Tan Sitong is afraid of falling into the relationship again.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the official residence of the governor of Hubei was already lively. Tan Jixun has just arrived in Hubei to take office, and those local officials naturally have to rush to confront the new boss. This New Year's festival is a good time to move around each other, and the officials and merchants in Wuhan City rushed to the governor's yamen just after the New Year. Tan Jixun wants to be familiar with Hubei officialdom and has to socialize every day. Tan Sitong was secretly free, and accompanied Li Yan for a few days with peace of mind.

Wuhan guards the Yangtze River and has been an important national economic, trade and military place for generations. Commerce is thriving and the city is thriving. Bilanzhou does not know how many times it has prospered. On this day, Tan Sitong invited Li Yan to play on the street, wanting to see the prosperous scenery of this important town in the Central Plains.

The two walked hand in hand, and Li Yan was naturally happy for the rare leisure time. Before they knew it, the two had come to the river. Seeing that there was a restaurant in front of him, Tan Sitong asked Li Yan to go in and eat something.

Tan Sitong ordered Dongpo meat, a bangbang chicken, and a Jingwu duck neck. I ordered another seasonal vegetable. Because Li Yan was not strong enough to drink, Tan Sitong only needed a pot of Xiaogan rice wine. The rice wine came up, and the two of them walked for a long time, and they were a little hungry, so they hurriedly started eating. Because of the cold weather, Tan Sitong asked the cousin to warm the rice wine with hot water, put some rock sugar and serve it again.

These three dishes have a lot of origins, Tan Sitong explained to Li Yan while eating. First of all, this Dongpo meat is said to have been cooked by the famous Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty. In that year, Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, Hubei Province as a general sentence. I am encountering the low price of pork there and hurting the farmers. This Su Shi is not only a good official who loves the people like a son, but also writes poems well, and the words are self-contained, but also a gourmet everyone, in order to increase the price of pork, so that the people can earn more hard money, he called on everyone to eat pork, and also came up with a special dish with pork as an ingredient.

He takes everyone's least favorite pork belly as the raw material, takes a large piece and boils it in a pot once, then takes it out, drains it, washes it, and cuts it into small pieces. Then put the ingredients, rice wine, soy sauce, rock sugar and other condiments in the pot, add water to boil over high heat, and then pour the cut meat pieces into the pot, then it should be slowly boiled over low heat. Wait until the water in the pot slowly boils into gravy, the pork belly is fragrant and glutinous, and the skin of the meat is red and shiny, and the dish is considered successful.

Su Dongpo also specially wrote a 'stew song' for this dish, which was written 'Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt.' The rich refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook. Slow fire, less water, when the fire is enough, it is beautiful. ’

As soon as this dish came out, it was really delicious, and it immediately spread to all parts of Hubei. Later, it also spread to Zhejiang. Since then, the price of pork in Huanggang has soared, and Su Dongpo's stew song and this dish have also begun to become famous throughout the country. Because it was created by Su Dongpo, and it was to relieve the suffering of the people, everyone called this dish Dongpo meat in order to commemorate his immeasurable merits.

Li Yan originally looked at the fat pork and didn't dare to move, but when she heard what Tan Sitong said, she suddenly became interested, she tasted a small bite first, and sure enough, the fat seemed to be fatty, but it melted in the mouth, fragrant and glutinous, and not greasy at all. She took another large piece and gobbled it up.

Tan Sitong saw that she was happy to eat, so he teased her not to burst her belly first, saying that this second dish was specially prepared for foodies.

The second course is thinly sliced chicken. It doesn't seem to be good-looking. But this seemingly ordinary slice of meat is also extraordinary. Tan Sitong said that the chicken was boiled in a fine broth and then soaked in a soup stock mixed with secret red oil and hundreds of spices. It is also necessary to beat it with a wooden stick to let the flavor completely penetrate into the chicken, and then slice and serve on the plate. After these complex processes, a small slice of chicken already contains spicy, sweet, sour, salty and other flavors. It has always been the first choice for foodies.

Li Yan listened to it with a straight breath, and hurriedly tasted another piece, and sure enough, it was full of five flavors, the chicken was tender, the soup was thick, and the two blended seamlessly.

Li Yan was born in an official eunuch, and in fact, he has no lack of knowledge about food. But she saw that Tan Sitong was rarely happy, so she naturally wanted to do what she liked and coax him to be happy.

On weekdays, this man talks about peace and stability, and reads the collection of sub-history scriptures. Thinking about the country and the world. I never thought that he was also knowledgeable about eating.

Seeing that her man loves fireworks and the world, how unhappy Li Yan was in her heart, she ate chicken, and asked Tan Sitong to tell him about the origin of the duck neck. Although I actually know this allusion.

Tan Sitong saw his beloved wife's mouth full of oil, and his heart was naturally happy. At this time, the wine was already scalded and delivered, so he poured a glass for Li Yan, poured himself another sip and drank it first. The rice wine is mild, and now it has been scalded with rock sugar, and it is scalded again, the entrance is peaceful and sweet, and the wine tastes very good, so he motioned to Li Yan to drink it too.

The husband and wife raised their glasses and drank each other. Tan Sitong began to tell the story of this third course.

The origin of this Jingwu duck neck is older than Dongpo meat. Legend has it that there was already a practice of this duck neck during the Warring States period.

That year, the monarch of Chu State went on a northern expedition, and when he passed through Jingwu, he encountered many ducks in the paddy fields. He wanted to improve the food of the soldiers, so he asked everyone to kill and eat all the ducks. After a few days, the ducks were eaten, and no one wanted the duck necks that had no meat and bones. It was piled up in the house and became garbage.

At this time, a veteran foodie appeared. It seems that regardless of the past and present, there is no shortage of foodies who love food in every dynasty. This is human nature, and the sex of eating and color, Confucius has long said it.

This foodie's reputation is not as big as Su Dongpo's, but his cooking skills are not inferior to Su Shi at all. He collected the duck's neck. Put it in a large pot, pour cold water, shochu, salt, ginger cubes, and soak it for a whole day. When the duck necks are flavored, the foodie takes them out and drains them.

He made another pot of brine, which contained hundreds of condiments, and no one could recognize all the names. Wait for the brine to boil, pour the duck neck into the foodie and then cook it and remove it.

Wait until the duck's neck is ready to dry. The soldiers smelled the fragrance, and at first they just tasted it, but after a few bites, they only felt that this delicious food was unparalleled in the world. Everyone wanted to swallow all the bones. It turned out that there was no meat in the duck neck, but the foodie penetrated the lo-mei into the bones of that section by section, and after soaking and boiling, the neck bones were already cooked and flavored, and they would be broken when they were bitten. Everyone chewed on the broken bones, sucking the marrow and shredded meat in the cracks of the bones, the taste was more fragrant than duck meat, but they couldn't fill their stomachs. This food that is not enough to eat and hangs people's appetite can be more torturous than gluttonous feasts.

When the king of Chu heard about this delicacy, he also came to eat a few pieces of duck neck, and felt that it was indeed this thing, which should only be in the sky. immediately recruited the foodie as the imperial chef. Let him always make this delicacy for himself in the future.

In this way, with the royal care, this originally abandoned and useless, this neck dish made by chance when encountering a senior foodie has been handed down.

Tan Sitong said wonderfully, and Li Yan listened happily. The couple drank wine and ate meat, and in a short time they swept away all three dishes. There was another dish of green vegetables left to clean up, and the two of them returned happy.

Back at the mansion, Li Yan was still excited. She and Tan Si were separated when they were young, but they didn't get together much, and they didn't know much about each other. Today, the man cares so much about himself, and he also knows the other side of his fireworks, and the relationship between the two is closer, which is the reason why she is happy. She pestered Tan Sitong and said that she would travel tomorrow.

Tan Sitong couldn't resist Li Yan's entanglement, so he had to promise to take her to play in the Yellow Crane Tower tomorrow.

The next day, the two went straight to the Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane Tower is located on the Snake Mountain on the side of the Yangtze River, known as the 'first floor in the world', and has been a must-visit place for celebrities since ancient times. The Tang Dynasty Cui Hao's famous story 'Yellow Crane Tower' was written here.

"'In the past, people have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is empty here.

The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years.

Where is Sunset Township? The Yanbo River makes people sad

Cui Hao's poems are indeed well written, but the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower is more attractive. Tan Sitong recited Cui Hao's poems and began to tease Li Yan again.

Li Yan knew that her husband was going to be erudite again, and in order to satisfy his little vanity, he begged him to tell him what the story of this Yellow Crane Tower was.

The duck's neck was only pulled to the Warring States, and this Yellow Crane Tower was involved in the gods.

Tan Sitong saw that his wife wanted to hear it, so he told the legend of the Yellow Crane Tower.

It is said that a long, long time ago, a couple opened a liquor shop on Snake Mountain. The liquor in the liquor store is average, and the business is not good or bad. But the owner of the shop is kind. Although he doesn't make much money, he is always generous.

The shopkeeper's surname is Xin, and one day the boss of Xin was sitting behind the counter when he saw an old Taoist in tattered clothes came to the store. The man ran to the counter and asked for three bowls of wine, and he finished it in one sip. But after drinking, the man forgot to pay for the wine and left. Boss Xin estimated that this old way was drunk, so he didn't chase it out to ask for it.

I didn't want this person to come again the next day, so I asked for three bowls of wine, drank it in one go, and turned around and left.

And so it was for a few days. When Boss Xin saw the Taoist man's tattered shirt and hat, he thought that this Taoist must have no money for wine, but he was greedy for such eloquence.

Boss Xin was soft-hearted, and his father had just died, and when he saw this old man pitiful, he thought that he would simply treat him as a father, and he couldn't drink himself with a little wine. So this Taoist came back every day, and Boss Xin still gave him three bowls of wine, and never asked the Taoist for money.

Half a year passed, and one day the Taoist drank three bowls of wine as usual, but he didn't leave directly as usual.

He drunkenly picked up the brush that Boss Xin had put on the counter to write accounts, and staggered to the wall.

I saw that he walked the dragon and snake with his pen, and actually drew a crane on the wall. After the painting, the Taoist recited a verse: "The drinkers clap their hands, and the cranes fly under them." After saying this, the Taoist threw away his sleeves and disappeared again.

Boss Xin and the customers in the store were puzzled, thinking about the Taoist's words, so they tried to clap their hands and read it.

Not wanting to burst into applause, the white crane on the wall really stretched out its legs, flapped its wings, and flew up from the wall. The applause of the guests did not stop, and the crane kept dancing in the air.
