Chapter 330: History

Legend has it that 7,000 years ago, the ancient celebrity chef Xu Ling used meteorites from outside the sky to create eight "legendary kitchenware......

However, it is not known whether Xu Ling existed or not, and whether it was 7,000 years ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In Chinese cuisine, it is recorded in historical records that the "first professional chef in history" is "Peng Zu" in the same period as Yao Shun.

Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for 800 years, but there is also a saying that Peng Zu died in 800 years for the leader of the Great Peng State, not that Peng Zu himself lived for 800 years......

However, Peng Zu is indeed recorded in the annals of history as the originator of Chinese cuisine and the originator of health preservation!

Peng Zu's "The Way of Pheasant Soup" is the first time that Chinese cuisine has a guiding theory of "cooking".

"Sheep Fang Tibetan Fish" is the recipe created by Peng Zu, also known as the first dish of "ancient Chinese cuisine", although it was already after "Cangjie made words", but the word "Xian" was not one of the "first" words created by Cangjie......

Legend has it that Peng Zu's youngest son likes to fish, but Peng Zu was worried about the danger, and he was forbidden to fish on weekdays, but once his youngest son had just come back from fishing, Peng Zu came, because he was worried that his father would find out, the youngest son stuffed the fish into the mutton, and Peng Zu found it delicious after eating, and after understanding the facts, he created the original recipe of "Yang Fang Tibetan Fish".

It originated from the first dish of "Sheep Fang Tibetan Fish", which made people have a deep understanding of fish and sheep for freshness, and since then there is the word "fresh" to describe the wonderful taste of food!

Coincidentally, 2,500 years ago, another gourmand who had a profound influence on Chinese cuisine and even Chinese culture created the recipe of "fish bites sheep......

This food master is the Confucius who proposed "never get tired of eating, and never get tired of being fine"!

Legend has it that when Confucius was dismissed from office, he traveled around the world and was hungry, and his disciples asked for some mutton and fish, so Confucius cooked the two together, and unexpectedly found that it was very delicious, and since then there has been the prototype of "fish bites sheep......

Both are dishes of fish and sheep boiled together, but "Lamb Cube" is made by stuffing the fish into a cut out of the mutton, sealing it and simmering it in a "fish soup", while "Fish Biting Sheep" is a dish in which the lamb is cut into small pieces, put into the belly of a fish with the internal organs removed, and then simmered in the "mutton soup".

The casserole mutton of Yishihui is different from "sheep square Tibetan fish" and "fish bite sheep......

But the principle of harmony is the same!

At the moment when the mutton and soup were in the mouth, the judges even came up with a kind of "fresh meat" that did not exist in reality and only appeared in ancient food classics!

"It's whole pieces of fish made with large fish...... Well, it's supposed to be 'Napoleon wrasse', right? Use a whole piece of fish, cut out the gap, hide the cut lamb chops in it, and then seal it and cook it together! Dojima Silver said.

"It's worthy of Senior Dojima, can you even taste this?" Ichiseki's words also confirm this.

That's right, unlike "fish bites sheep", it is not the mutton that is stuffed into the belly of the fish, but put it into the whole piece of fish, which is more like "sheep side Tibetan fish" from the process, but the relationship between the inside and outside is the opposite!

"Napoleon wrasse...... As the largest reef fish, it is indeed possible to cut a whole piece of fish that is large enough to stuff the mutton......"

"And it should be the deep-sea Napoleon wrasse, which has a weak fishy smell and has always been known for its tender meat...... But it's also quite expensive, a few hundred dollars per kilogram, right? Best of all, it's not easy to buy! ”

"But the harmony between the flavor of the lamb and the fish is really intoxicating!"

"That's right, the umami of the two not only blends with each other, but also completely cancels out the mutton and fishiness of each other......"

"On top of that, although a small amount of base spices are used in the fish soup, it is the lamb and the fish themselves that achieve this harmony."

"If the 'French lamb chops' of the Hayama contestant is a delicacy blended with spices, then the 'Yufang Tibetan Sheep' of the Ichishiki contestant is a delicacy blended with the original ingredients!" The judges sighed.

Joichiro also muttered below: "I can't imagine that I can already do it to this extent!" Ishikaki Hui ......"

"The fusion of lamb and fish...... Can it really be done? Now the senior of Isshiki still uses farmed sheep meat and deep-sea fish, both of which themselves have a relatively small fishy smell! If it were more than 4,000 years ago, not only were there very few types of spices used, but the fish must have been freshwater fish, and the product of grazing technology was equivalent to semi-wild sheep, could the two really be integrated? "Yuhime has already joined the big team at this time.

At the same time, as an expert in wild mountain animal cuisine, Yuhime has never been able to understand how to integrate mutton and fish, although the "umami" taste is close, but it is only "close", and each has a fishy smell and smell, and a little carelessness is a pot of fishy soup, right?

"This is a debate, it is generally believed that the cooking skills of the ancient era were generally very low, and the types of spices and ingredients were also very small, and the real development of 'cuisine' began in the Middle Ages, carried forward in the ancient era, perfected in modern times, and ushered in a second peak after the 'great fusion of world cuisines'...... At that time, the 'deliciousness' was supposed to be only relative. ”

"It seems to make some sense, in the Chinese cuisine cultural circle, ancient times refer to the three emperors and five emperors to the pre-Qin era, right? At that time, the processing of ingredients was still at the stage of boiling and roasting in plain water, and the lack of spices and ingredients and the lack of poultry had not yet been completely tamed. Ryoko said.

In this world, the cultural circle is demarcated by "cuisine", for example, East Asia, which is deeply influenced by "Chinese cuisine", belongs to the "Chinese cuisine cultural circle", and in the ancient era of the "Chinese cuisine cultural circle", it refers to the period of integration of the Yan and Huang tribes until the unification of the first emperor.

That is, it starts with the fusion of "baking" and "boiling......

In the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, the Yellow Emperor tribe Detu, that is, believes in the "earth", and fired pottery from the "earth", so that the "boiling" has the conditions for birth, and the Yandi tribe in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, that is, believes in "flame", so that the fire roasting, charcoal roasting, and rock roasting have the initial sprout.

After the fusion of the two, the intersection of "roasting" and "boiling" gave the "Chinese cuisine" its original prototype.

Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, iron tools began to be used, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, "iron pots" began to appear, providing the basis for the emergence of "frying"!

Therefore, from the end of the pre-Qin period to the first emperor to the Tang and Song dynasties, it is called the "Middle Ages", that is, the period when the civilization of "fried" sprouted and developed, and became the main force of "Chinese cuisine......

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, because of the opening up to the outside world and the strong national strength, and the prosperity of all states to the dynasty, it was also a period of large-scale introduction of new ingredients and new spices.

After that, until the 19th century, the modern era was marked by the "great fusion of world cuisines......

As for the Yanhuang period, it belongs to the "ancient era", because there is no written circulation, only some legends are left, such as the "ancient chef Xu Ling" who does not know whether it is true or false......

Therefore, it is generally believed in today's culinary circles that the concept of "delicious" in the ancient and medieval periods of any cuisine is different from today!

For example, before the "great fusion of world cuisines", it was generally believed that the ordinary level of cuisine in today's star-rated restaurants was already a rare "delicacy" in the world......

After all, "deliciousness" is relative, and when the culinary world as a whole is low, or even very low, people's inner expectations will be lowered.

Therefore, the "ancient recipes" of any cuisine either develop with the times and eventually become "famous dishes", or for various reasons, they do not keep up with the development of the times, and gradually "become a dish".

If you simply use "ancient recipes", such as boiled meat and blanched vegetables without any seasonings, no one will eat them unless you have the intention to lose weight......

"But as Joichiro said, there are 'debates' about these things, and it's only 'generally believed'......" Marui said, holding his glasses.

"Huh? Zenji, do you have any other opinions? Four-Eyed ...... If you're just looking for fault, we won't clean up your room after our party tonight! Yuhime said.

“…… Why do you say as if you have cleaned up! ”

Zenji Marui was speechless and said, "The reason why there is still a 'debate' is because there are many chefs who insist that there are still some cooking methods that we don't know about in ancient times, the Middle Ages, and even ancient times, and they can also cook delicious in a broad sense with simple ingredients and spices, but those skills have not been passed down for some reason......

"Huh? It's not scientific! If there is such an 'advanced' skill, how can it be lost? Even if some of them are due to wars or something, it doesn't make sense that all the cuisines in the world have not passed down these skills, right? Yuhime questioned.

Ryoko suddenly said, "Wait, Zenji, you won't be one of these 'middle two' people, right?" ”

"Ahem, although there is no direct evidence, but ...... We do find ...... in some ancient texts"

What do those vague accounts say? Some of the records are legends, right? ”

"That's why I said it's not 'direct evidence'!"

Not to mention the debate on the development of the culinary world, whether it is the ancient or the present, the field has already reached the voting stage.

In Rei Kawashima's announcement, the scoreboard showed the votes of both sides!

5:0!

Although Ye Shanliang already felt bad when Yishihui said "If I were a judge, I would vote for me to win", Ye Shanliang was still at a loss when he saw that he had indeed lost......

And this is not a defeat like the oil girl Haruki, Ye Shan Liang is already a complete defeat of absolute disadvantage!

At this moment, Jun Shiomi shouted to him below: "Ryo! ”

Ye Shan Liang was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw that Shiomi Jun actually came, he was undoubtedly dealt a double blow, not only lost, but also saw his fiasco by the person who didn't want to be seen the most......

"I'll jump ......" Jun Shiomi whispered to himself, and then jumped out of the first row of the audience.

I saw Shiomi Jun walking quickly to the arena angrily and rushing to find Hayama Liang.

When Hayama Ryo approached, his arms were already pulled back, and his steps were already similar to running!

Bang......

That's right, not "pop", but "bang"!

Seeing that Shiomi Jun was about to give Ye Shan Liang a "broken face", after all, he was sick and had little strength, and his feet slipped and he fell on the field in the classic falling posture of a kindergarten child!

The audience couldn't help but be silent for a while......

It was Ye Shan Liang who was the first to react, and hurriedly squatted down to help Xi Jianrun.

"Run! What do you think? Didn't I tell you not to run in boots......"

Well, I always feel that the relationship between the guardian and the ward has been reversed in an instant!

Syllable!

The broken face palm that I didn't have time to hit just now has been made up, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a little kid's anger after falling......

"What do you do?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Does it hurt? There are no injuries, etc.! I'm going to get the medicine! ”

After breaking his face, Shiomi Jun was more nervous than Hayama Ryo and hurriedly began to check.

"It's not that exaggerated, but what exactly are you going to do...... Let's go down first! ”

Under the reminder of Ryo Hayama, Jun Shiomi immediately reacted, and this place was being watched by everyone......

And there has already been a lot of discussion off the scene, and some year-olds who don't know the relationship between Shiomi Jun and Ryo Hayama are about to spread more than 10 versions of the "scandal"!

Jun Shiomi, who hadn't stood up yet, was weak from illness and his brain crashed due to shyness, and his pupils that were blushing for a while were about to spread.

Ye Shan Liang immediately hugged Princess Shiomi Run's waist, and was able to leave......

The others only saw that after the end of the game, Shiomi Jun broke free of Ye Shan Liang, and then said something to Ye Shan Liang angrily, and gradually turned into a gentler expression, and Ye Shan Liang's expression also changed from indifference at the beginning to a complex expression with a little confusion......

After that, the "Spice Research Association" began to receive foreign guests again, and Ye Shan Liang was not like Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who had not yet gotten anything from the "Central Food Agency", so there was no pressure to break away...... The most important thing is that because of his defeat, he doesn't have a place for the top ten masters, and Nagi cut this is not too reserved.

With the victory of Isshiki, the commander-in-chief has already locked six seats for the top ten, but there is no joy in the Polestar Liao that night, and Erina, Alice and others who came specially to come......

Because Liu Pleiades hasn't come back yet!

Originally, he made an appointment with Yu Mei that he would come back one night earlier!

In the Polestar Liao, after seeing Yu Mei hang up the phone call back to the Mito Group, everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked nonsense.

"Yes, yes, I should go straight to the arena before tomorrow's game." Yu Mei said.

"Should? What the hell is Ah Xing doing? It can't be that the observation of Kobe beef jiao is addictive, right? ”

"That's right, I felt a little strange before, it's all this time, Xiao Yumei, don't hide it......"

"It can't be any danger, is it?"

"Is it ......?"

Seeing that everyone asked more and more deeply, Yu Mei said anxiously: "There is no danger!" Just now the group people told me that there are still normal life reactions in the room......"

"What? Life reaction? What is in the room? To be detected by the reaction of life? ”

"What the hell is he doing? Will there still be a danger to life? ”

"This ......" Yu Mei realized that when she missed her mouth, it was too late to swallow the words back. (To be continued.) )
