Chapter 132: Rites are written, lion heads.
"Oh, no matter what, you are a celebrity now, now whether it is Zhixue Town or Wuchuan Town, you know that Minghu Ju has a shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything, and only hands over the business to his maid to take care of, and finds a place to sit and improve his martial arts cultivation wholeheartedly. Han Ling smiled a little narrowly.
"Hey, I'm not all here to enter the school palace, otherwise why would I be so anxious?"
"The townspeople all said that they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and some things still had to be done slowly, besides, after eating so many pills, it was almost too soon...... Just be patient. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it. Ji Qing was a little annoyed, why was she so uncompetitive?
There was only half a year left, and he couldn't ask the Ling Mansion for help every time......
And at this moment, after a month of hard preparation, Ling Hao finally completed the compilation and writing of the entire forty-nine volumes of the Book of Rites, and the engraving printing was also ready, although the amount of work was more complicated, but he also made some friends with good character in the temple during this time, including a man named Su Qian, whose family was specialized in the seal business, so Ling Hao handed over the method and process of engraving printing to him, and by the way, asked him to burn all the articles of these dozens of volumes of the Book of Rites for himself.
With engraving printing technology, the possibility of printing books is much greater, but the disadvantages of engraving printing are also obvious, it is very time-consuming, and as long as the wrong word is engraved in the process of engraving, then the whole stereotype will be scrapped.
Su Qian felt that Ling Hao was usually so interesting to him, and he was guiding his cultivation and helping him to do his homework, so he must be obliged to come back to help him when he came back to help.
So, after a month's hard work, Su Qian personally went into battle, and the whole process of engraving and burning the "Book of Rites" was completed without danger, and the Su family had a very considerable economic source as a result, and with the technical support of this engraving printing, I am afraid that people who are engaged in the seal business around Luoyi may be unemployed......
Therefore, Su Qian hurriedly took the engraved forty-nine volumes of the Book of Rites to Ling Hao.
"Brother Ling, thanks to the method you provided this time, our family's business is much better now than before. Su Qian rubbed his hands and said to Ling Hao very politely.
"Brother Su is polite, I'm just whimsical for a while, and the process in between is all Brother Su himself groping. Ling Hao also said politely, it seems that he didn't see the wrong person, this Su Qian is quite reliable, well, you can develop the power of the Su family.
He learned about the background of the Su family, originally Su Qian's family was a big wealthy family, but when it came to his great-grandfather's generation, he was dismissed and condemned for forcibly occupying private land.
This Su Qian wanted to revitalize his family's family business, but he couldn't wait for the opportunity, it happened that Ling Hao finished writing the manuscript of "The Book of Rites", and by the way, he revealed the technology of engraving printing to him, he immediately realized the business opportunity, and immediately agreed...... As a result, this has contributed to the win-win situation between the two.
Su Qian also read part of the content of the "Book of Rites" written by Ling Hao, and was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, Ling's family history is not as good as his second-rate little family, and now he can actually include all the rituals and etiquette customizations of these 1,800 years, and what a terrifying workload it will be, Su Qian feels a little scary when he thinks about it.
And the content of these forty-nine volumes covers almost all the existing and original etiquette regulations, and Su Qian felt that this was probably the result of the many documents collected by the family behind Ling Hao.
So, he suddenly had a bold idea.
"Brother Ling, there are two little sisters in my family, beautiful and virtuous, now in the boudoir, if you are free, why don't you go to the cold house and sit on it, okay?"
"Yes. Ling Hao nodded.
Although he didn't know what Su Qian really thought in his heart, he could think of Su Qian's motive for making this proposal, on the one hand, he wanted to test himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to sell his sister.
"Brother Su came just in time today, I'm about to eat in a while, why don't you stay and try a certain craft?" Ling Hao said with a smile.
"Even so, then I'm disrespectful. Su Qian rubbed his hands, he had long heard that Ling Hao's cooking skills were better than those of Uncle Lu in the palace, but today he was blessed, because Ling Hao was going to make braised lion's head to eat today. Beautiful
Braised lion's head, also known as Sixi meatballs, is a famous dish in Huaiyang. The fatty and lean meat is paired with water chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms and other materials to make meatballs, fried first and then boiled, and the fragrant fragrance after the pot is out of the pot, just smelling it will arouse the appetite, and the mellow and fragrant meat pieces and juice are super delicious. The lion's head should be soft and delicious, and the meat should be chopped by yourself, and it should be fat and lean, with slightly more lean meat than fatty meat. However, if you have limited time, you can buy ready-made minced meat. Another important point is on the container, which should be simmered over a simmering heat, preferably in a casserole.
The late Chinese painting master Zhang Daqian taught his wife a good dish is "braised lion head", Mr. Daqian's practice is, seven points of lean meat, three points of fatty meat, finely cut and coarse, the size should be like a grain of rice, not too fine, so that the meat can keep a gap between the juice.
Regarding the "lion's head", it is said that its "distant ancestor" is the "jumping pill burning" recorded in the "Shijing" of the Northern and Southern Dynasties (see "Qi Min Yaoshu", burn the eightieth law).
According to historical records, when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took his concubines and concubines to the south along the Grand Canal in dragon boats and thousands of boats, "all the prefectures and counties he passed through were ordered to offer food within 500 miles." A state to a hundred public opinions, extremely water and land treasures, ("Zizhi Tongjian").
Yang Guang looked at the Qionghua in Yangzhou, and was especially nostalgic for the four famous scenery of Yangzhou Wansong Mountain, Qiandun, Ivory Forest and Sunflower Gang.
After returning to the palace, he instructed the imperial chef to take the above four scenes as the theme, make four dishes, the imperial chefs in Yangzhou under the guidance of the famous chef, painstakingly finally made the squirrel osmanthus fish, money shrimp cake, ivory chicken strips and sunflower chopped meat these four dishes, Yang Guang tasted, very happy, so the banquet was given to the ministers, for a time Huaiyang dishes poured into the government and the opposition. The guests invited by the eunuchs and magnates were also proud to have these four dishes and regarded them as treasures.
In the Tang Dynasty, with the economic prosperity, the officials and magnates also paid more attention to food. Once, at the banquet of Xunguo, Wei Juyuan, the famous chef of the house, also made these four famous dishes of Yangzhou, accompanied by delicacies from the mountains and seas, and treasures of water and land, which amazed the guests in the seat.
When the dish of "sunflower chopping meat" was served, I saw that the sunflower heart made of huge meat dumplings was exquisite, like the "head of a lion", and the guests took the opportunity to persuade the wine: "Xun Guogong has been fighting horses for half his life, and his military exploits are brilliant, and he should wear the lion handsome seal." Xun Guogong happily raised a glass and drank it all, in order to commemorate today's event, "sunflower meat" might as well be renamed "lion head". Since then, Yangzhou has added the famous dish of "lion's head", which is braised and steamed, and it is popular.
It is simply not too appropriate to use this dish to entertain Su Qian.
Originally, he was limited by the realm of strength, and his strength was not enough to make the most perfect meat filling, but now that he has broken through the triple lock of the ground, he will not feel weak even if he hits ten thousand times.
An hour later, the fragrant braised lion's head was served on the table, as well as the lychee wine brewed last time, accompanied by a bowl of moderately steamed corn rice.
"Please. Ling Hao gestured.
"Please. Su Qian also replied.
Looking at the several huge meatballs on the plate, Su Qian felt that this could be delicious?
But just after tasting it, Su Qian's expression immediately changed, it was so fragrant.
"Hmm...... Delicious and delicious, it is really delicious in the world! Admire, admire!" Su Qian began to eat the lion's head, not sparing words of praise.
"It's good to meet Brother Su's taste, it's just ...... This lion's head is easy to get tired after eating too much, Brother Su can taste the wine. Ling Hao said.
Only then did Su Qian turn his gaze to the wine on the side, this wine looked clear and transparent, and it seemed to be very different from ordinary wine.
"Please. Ling Hao picked up his wine glass and drank it dry.
"Please. Su Qian hesitated for a while, but still drank the wine, and the sweetness and mellowness of the lychee wine immediately conquered his taste buds again, and the feeling of being a little greasy because of eating the lion's head suddenly dissipated.
"The taste of this lion's head tends to be fresh and fragrant, it is greasy to eat a lot, and it is easy to get sick when it is often eaten, it must be paired with this brewed lychee wine to relieve the greasy recipe to be the most beautiful, why does Brother Su think it is?" Ling Hao said with a smile.
"Brother Ling's whimsy, Su admires!" Su Qian really didn't know what to say at the moment, he could only keep praising Ling Hao's exquisite craftsmanship, and he was so considerate of others when eating, what is this called?
