Bear's paw, also known as bear's foot, is known as a 'health' ingredient. However, in the previous life, black bears and brown bears were national second-class protected animals, and hunting was illegal and would be punished, so even if there were still some people poaching and eating, Shu Jin's parents were businessmen, and Shu Jin had only heard of bear's paw dishes, and had never cooked them himself.

Nowadays, hunting is legal. On the first day of hunting, someone hunted the bear back, and the bear skin and bear bile are rare good things, and Shu Jin also took care of the bear paws early. On the day of the celebration feast, the bear's paw will naturally come in handy.

The handling of bear's paws is cumbersome:

First of all, put the fresh bear paw into the pot of boiling water and blanch it twice, change the water and boil it for about an hour to remove it, so as to remove the hair, and then peel off the cocoon skin, remove the skin, keep the original shape of the bear paw intact, put it in the pot and add chicken broth, ginger, green onion, wine and other seasonings to cook at least three times. The chicken broth and seasoning need to be changed every time it is cooked, this is to get rid of the fishy smell.

To remove the fishy smell, cut the bear paw from the back several times, carefully remove the bones, and do not cut the bottom of the palm to keep the shape of the bear paw intact.

Wrap the deboned bear paw with clean gauze, take the lard under the pot and burn it until it is hot, put ginger, fry the green onion and white until fragrant, add chicken broth, add chicken nuggets, lean pork, ham, soy sauce, salt, wine, licorice, pepper, and finally put the bear paw wrapped in gauze into the pot, boil it over a strong fire, skim off the foam in time, and then simmer for an hour and a half.

When this bear paw is put on the plate, choose a large disc, the green onion white cushion bottom, the bear paw removes the gauze, and the palm swings upward. Shu Jin picked the blanched vegetables and put them on the plate, and then thickened the original juice of the stewed bear's paws. Add sesame oil and pour over the bear's paws.

This dish is time-consuming and laborious to make, and there are many processes. It really took Shu Jin a lot of energy, but fortunately, there was nothing too difficult after this dish.

Another main dish is the cannon porpoise.

Pork porpoise, that is, roast suckling pig, is known as one of the eight treasures, and this will naturally not be one table, but one table for officials of one or two products. The little suckling pig has long been processed and roasted. Shu Jin adjusted the sauce, watched the fire and turned it over. Then keep brushing the sauce on top of it. According to the time, it should be just enough to eat by the time the feast begins.

The cold dish Shu Jin prepared smoked venison leg and fragrant wine meat:

Smoked venison leg meat is made with marinated venison shank. Find a casserole, sprinkle an even layer of rice on the bottom of the pot, and then sprinkle the tea leaves and sugar into the pot. Then put an iron shelf on the bottom rack of the pot. Place the marinated venison on top, cover the pot tightly, and burn it over a high flame until smoke rises from the pot.

When the smoke is gone, lift the lid of the pot, brush the venison with sesame oil, slice it and serve with greens.

The fragrant wine meat is to cut the fresh beef into thin slices, marinate it overnight with wine in advance, and season it with sauce, vinegar and plum sauce on the day of the wine banquet, similar to the Japanese sashimi in the previous life.

There are also several kinds of staple food, Shu Jin. They are all made in advance to choose from, including venison steamed dumplings. Crystal shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings and so on.

In addition, Shu Jin made two desserts after dinner:

Glutinous rice flour, corn flour and sugar are mixed with milk and flour slurry, sieved out the particles, and the batter is steamed over high heat for a cup of tea. Add vegetable oil to the steamed dough and knead it into a smooth dough and freeze it with ice until it is slightly firm. Take out a small piece of dough, roll it out into a thin crust, sprinkle a little glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking, and then put it in the flower mold to press solidly. Put the fruit on the flour skin, and then put the cream made by Shu Jin himself, and pinch it tightly. A delicate and lovely snow girl is formed. No one would make this stuff before, so it's delicious and fresh.

Since the cream is made, I simply use the cream in another dessert.

Wash the fresh fruit and cut it into cubes, mix well with the cream and set aside. Add butter and sugar, melt in hot water, add milk and flour and mix into a paste, then add the egg mixture in two parts, stirring well until it is a thin paste.

Heat the pan and melt in a piece of butter. Put the batter in a pan and spread out into round pancakes. Add the fruit cubes, roll them up, and cut them off and serve them on a plate. The taste of the fruit pancake is still very good.

At this point, what Shu Jin should do was basically completed, so after ordering someone to watch the food, Shu Jin went back to his tent to bathe and change clothes.

Although Shu Jin is in charge of the meal, she also has to participate in the celebration banquet. After Shu Jin cleaned up and went to the banquet to find a place next to Jiang Duanyu and sit down, Jiang Duanyu immediately ordered someone to pour Shu Jin a cup of tea.

Shu Jin smiled when he saw this, picked up a glass and drank it all.

"Done?"

"Yes."

"So you're going to have a good time saying it? Ha ha. ”

Jiang Duanyu smiled, and Shu Jin nodded.

By this time it was getting dark, but because of the large bonfires, the surroundings were as bright as day. After a round of singing and dancing, the emperor finally announced the opening of the feast.

This time, the seats were arranged in advance, and they were seated according to the rank and so on, so the mermaids in the dining room came up with various dishes and served food to everyone according to their positions. Everyone knew that Shu Jin was in charge of this banquet at this time, so they were all looking forward to it. Sure enough, when it comes to the dishes, they are all dishes that they have never heard of and never seen, and they are full of aromas and make people laugh.

As the emperor, he naturally has to be the first to move chopsticks.

Emperor Qi Yan rinsed his hands and mouth, drank a small bowl of appetizing and nourishing soup, and then tasted the roast suckling pig with chopsticks and oil stars.

"Well, this cannon dolphin tastes great!" Qi Yan said. However, because he was the emperor, each dish should not exceed three dishes, so after tasting it, he simply ordered someone to serve it and give it to others. Every dish made by Shu Jin was praised by the emperor, and those who were lucky enough to eat the dishes made by Shu Jin himself all agreed.

Jiang Duanyu performed well in the martial arts competition today, so he also received a few dishes rewarded by the emperor.

After everyone ate for a while, the staple food and dessert were served, and after the emperor ate it, he also put down his chopsticks with a satisfied face.

By this time, most people had eaten seven or eight minutes full, and it was time for the final after-show of the banquet.

During the autumn hunt, many courtiers wanted to bring their children here, for the sake of the aftermath of the banquet. If you are confident and capable, you can take advantage of the time to perform in public, and if you can win the appreciation of the emperor or any minister, then women will not worry about getting married and men will not worry about their future.

Today is no exception, as soon as the emperor stopped, all the courtiers also put down the chopsticks in their hands, and the younger generation of officials began to be eager to try, but even if they had a performance, they were unwilling to do this first.

And at this moment, someone suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"The wine banquet is delicious, but the empty wine banquet is inevitably boring, the little woman is not talented, I am willing to present a song for you, a chat to help the fun, and the other can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade!" (To be continued.) )
