Chapter 409: Corsi Cooking Method
"It's a barbecue!" Su Miao is naturally sensitive to food, and when she saw the hot meat downstairs, her eyes lit up, and she said softly.
Liang Ao and Liang Ao naturally saw that there was a barbecue downstairs, Liang Ao glared fiercely at the guard who had "lied about the military situation" before, and the guard knew that he was reckless, shrunk his neck, and tried to reduce his sense of existence.
Liang Yi laughed: "The barbecue in the garden at night is fresh!" As he spoke, the young man downstairs had already divided the meat chops that had fallen on the table with a knife brush a few times, and the small shovel in his hand gently sent it forward, and the divided meat chops flew up, flying to the plates in the hands of the onlookers like eyes, "Ho, is this juggling?" Liang Yi's eyes lit up, and he smiled with bent eyebrows.
The highly performative cooking method was not widely promoted in Yueliang Kingdom, except for some areas where the folk customs were open and the hierarchy was not very strict. Generally speaking, the chef is cooking food in the kitchen, and the guests are enjoying the food in the hall, and the two parties cannot face each other, which is actually a form of hierarchy.
When he first met Su Miao, Su Miao liked to interact with diners when he set up a stall, and often performed cooking in front of diners to liven up the atmosphere and enhance communication with diners, so he didn't think it was strange.
But this kind of performance is rare in Liang Du after all, Liang Ao frowned, and asked a maid who was waiting in the box:
"Who is that?"
The maid took a step forward, glanced out the window, and replied with a respectful smile:
"Back to the prince. It was a new cook in Baikuilou, a distant relative of our host's family, named Aji. I just came to Baikui Building two months ago, because the craftsmanship is different from the cooking skills in Liangduli, and it is very popular with all adults. Aji is a hybrid, his father was a merchant in Corsi, and he married his mother when he came here to sell goods, Aji grew up in Corsi, and his parents were killed when they went to sea to sell goods a few years ago. He was killed, he was swept up by the sea and saved, and he didn't want to go back to Corsi when his relatives were gone. Knowing that our owner has a restaurant in Liangdu, he rushed to our owner, because he made a good dish, and the owner left him behind. ”
Mixed breed refers to a half-breed. Yueliang has developed trade. Today, the emperor attaches great importance to the trade between his country and foreign countries, and he is not a person who is arrogant and closed off the country, so there are many foreigners in Yueliang, and many people in Yueliang are abroad. Since ancient times, businessmen have relied on walking to do business, these businessmen go on the road alone, and the more places they walk, there will naturally be transnational marriages, and there will be mixed-race children born if there are transnational marriages, and there is no word "mixed-race" now. People call mixed-race children "hybrids", although they are better than "mongrels". But it still sounds contemptuous, after all, this is an era that values bloodlines.
However, as long as there is no seclusion for a day, the existence of mixed races is not unusual, especially Liangdu is still near the sea, unlike the developed trade in the Jiangnan region, Liangdu is prosperous in maritime commerce, and Liangdu's port merchants from other countries appear like a marquee, listening to the gossip mother in Xueyizhuang, Liangdu's port can often see the western barbarians with blond hair and big noses who look like monsters, as well as the big eaters wearing robes and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The name of Kosi is in the west of Yueliang country, the Kosi people with blond hair and big nose who look like monsters are estimated to be Caucasians, and the big cannibals with thick eyebrows and big eyes around them are Arabs in the Middle East, Yueliang country has money, people and people with developed commerce and trade and strong national strength, so when evaluating foreigners, they always have a little bit of arrogance in their tone, and they are both curious and contemptuous of those outsiders who are not very familiar with themselves, and feel that those people are all running to their land to beg for a living are a group of dirt buns who have never seen the world. It is estimated that this is the instinctive superiority of being a land snake.
Su Miao's study tour experience is quite rich, but because she has lived in Fengzhou for too long, her ears and eyes are blocked and the information is not clear, so she has long forgotten that there are other races in this world, and she was stunned for a moment after listening to the girl's words, a little excited, and asked quickly:
"So, he cooks Corsi food?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, but she was a well-trained person, and hurriedly replied with a smile:
"Yes, girl, Aji's father also has a restaurant in Kosi, he has loved cooking since he was a child, and he makes authentic Kosi cuisine, and because his mother is good at cooking, he is no stranger to Yue Liangguo's cuisine, so compared to the previous Kesi people who opened Kexi restaurants in Liangdu and finally closed their doors, Aji's craftsmanship combines the two, and the dishes made are very popular with adults."
It turns out that the people of Kexi really opened a restaurant in Liangdu, but Su Miao is not surprised that he will close his doors, because Yue Liangguo has a very rich food culture. With a diverse and rich historical food culture, such a country is always resistant, rejecting and even disdainful of foreign food culture, this psychological loftiness directly leads to their will not easily accept foreign food culture, and even ridicule it, so Su Miao's major in the previous life is useless in this life, and even the combination of Chinese and Western borscht has been sent away with a disapproving attitude, so now Su Miao is very curious, I wonder how the man named Aji carried forward the food of the Kosi Kingdom in the Yueliang Kingdom.
"I want to go down and have a look." Su Miao whispered to Aftertaste.
Thinking that she probably wanted to eat, she nodded and said, "I'll go with you." ”
"A cook in Corsi? Two years ago, there was indeed a Kosi Chinese who opened a restaurant in Liangdu, and I went there once, but the material was good, but the technique was not good, and the good ingredients were wasted in vain, and I went to taste it once and never went again, and then the restaurant was really closed. The cuisine of Kosi is fresh, but compared with the northern and southern cuisines of our Yueliang country, it is far behind. Liang Ao said this with a strong pride in his country, and said with a smile.
This undisguised pride surprised Su Miao, because to be honest, the prince is actually a politician, and she saw the shadow of a pure hot-blooded patriotic young man from a cunning politician, which was somewhat disobedient, but she didn't think that Liang Ao's pride was pretended. In other words, it turns out that Liang Ao is a good patriotic young man.
Liang Yi listened to Liang Ao's words and laughed:
"I remember when I was a child, an envoy from Corsi came to congratulate me once, and the cook brought by the envoy prepared a steak called red wine and black pepper grilled steak for my father on the spot. At that time, I was too young to attend the dinner, and then I heard from my father, who said that they made beef in Corsi for half a lifetime, and the roasted beef was still red and bloody, which made my father look disgusting, but because he knew that this was a tradition in Corsi, my father was embarrassed not to eat it. As a result, after eating it, I had stomach trouble several times that night. When I went to Corsi the year before, my father told me not to eat their beef, but I couldn't help but eat it once after I went, and it didn't taste bad. I didn't have a stomach trouble after eating it as my father said. The Corsi people are good at making beef, and they don't know how to make it, the beef is made black, but when cut with a knife, it is rouge inside. There will also be gravy coming out. The meat is very tender, and the taste is completely different from the beef made by our Yueliang people, soft and glutinous but not broken. ”
"Bloody beef?" Liang Ao frowned, a little incompetent, he had been on the battlefield and fought, the environment was difficult in the war, and he had naturally eaten everything, and when he ate raw meat, the bloody smell filled his mouth and made his stomach so disgusting that he had to vomit out, so he had no choice but to eat. But he would never accept the half-cooked meat with blood as a kind of food culture. I feel disgusting, and this kind of culture can only be admired by barbarians, and it is no wonder that some people call the Corsi people "Western barbarians", what a barbarism!
Su Miao couldn't help laughing, turned her face and laughed secretly.
She was secretly laughing, but was discovered by Liang Yi's sharp eyes, she only laughed after listening to their conversation, Liang Yi was curious, and asked:
"What is Miss Su laughing at?"
Su Miao didn't expect to be discovered, and she was a little embarrassed, but she was not afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince's inquiry, and said generously:
"I heard His Highness talk about the grilled steak in Corsi, and he described him as a gourmand at all, and he said it comprehensively and beautifully, and I wanted to eat it."
Liang Yi was a little embarrassed by her, and said with a smile: "Because the food in Kosi is different from our Yue Liang country, I remember it once I went there." The girl wants to eat but can't, after returning to Liangdu, I also told the cooks in the house, but unfortunately they can't do it, Kosi is too far away from Yueliang country, although the channel between the two countries is still calm, but it will take at least half a year to go, and it is not fun to take a boat for more than half a year, and it is not worth it for a thin girl like you to run for food. ”
Su Miao smiled, stretched her neck downstairs, and couldn't wait: "Isn't this a chef from the Corsi Kingdom!" ”
Liang Yi smiled, turned his head to the maid who had replied before, and said, "When the matter is finished downstairs, let that little brother come up and cook some good things for us." ”
"Back to the prince, it's not that Aji doesn't come upstairs, it's that he can't come upstairs, Aji also cooked upstairs before, but the smoke was too big, and the adults were so choked that they couldn't open their eyes, and then the owner let Aji cook in the garden." The maid replied with a smile.
Liang Yi nodded and smiled at everyone: "In this case, let's go down and join in the fun, Second Miss Su has an impatient expression, she will definitely be annoyed if she doesn't let her go down." ”
"Back to the prince, I won't be annoyed, but I must go down." Su Miao said with a smile.
Liang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.
He looks very good when he laughs, his already clear face is more and more clear like jade because of the smile that Shu unfolds, and it shines quietly like the sun, warm and charming, the man who has just stood is between youth and maturity, and the charm can not be resisted, for a while, Su Miao and Su Xian all looked at it, both of them stared directly at his smiling face, careful liver popping, ears red, this is human beings' instinctive admiration for beauty.
The aftertaste of the face brushed the ground black.
Liang Chang looked at Liang Xian, who was smiling at "woe to the country and the people", and then at Su Xian, whose eyes were almost glued, and rushed up to the heavenly spirit cover with a fire in a fire, and he coughed twice with a blushing face.
Su Xian was startled, turned her head, and looked at him with confused eyes, this seemingly awake look made Liang Chang even more annoyed, he knew that this woman was unreliable at all!
Su Miao quickly returned to normal, the beautiful man was not as attractive to her as the food was to her, at this time she noticed the dark face of the aftertaste, and asked in confusion:
"Why are you glaring at me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the aftertaste.
Aftertaste looked at Su Miao with compassion, and replied with two words firmly: "It's okay." ”
Su Miao really thought that there was nothing to do, nodded, took Su Xian's hand, and couldn't wait to run downstairs.
Liang Yi walked downstairs with a smile, and said to the aftertaste of a gloomy face walking beside him as he walked:
"Quite an interesting little girl, no wonder it can get into your eyes."
Aftertaste looked at him with a dark face.
Liang Yi smiled and said seriously: "The eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law have a deep friendship, and I will not rob you of a little girl." Saying that, he himself smiled, paused, and was a little entangled, "But the status is lower, marrying her as a wife lowers your status." ”
"What kind of identity do I have, just an illegitimate child who is not on the family tree." Not self-deprecating, he said it in a very calm tone of stating the facts.
Liang Yi frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "If you say such things again, when it reaches the ears of the eighth uncle, the eighth uncle should be unhappy again." ”
"That's just the facts." The aftertaste is faintly authentic.
Liang Yi looked at him for a while, sighed faintly, and after a long time, said softly:
"You should also take care of it, it looks like you are going to start a family, start a family, if you don't like to go to the Ice Spring Palace, why don't I go and tell my father to let you help me? Your eldest brother is with me now, if you come again, you two brothers are fine, and I can add one more help. In the past two years, those old ministers in the court have become more and more disagreeable, they have no mind in state affairs, and they are good at forming gangs and factions, and Amin can't be busy alone, and he also hopes that you can help him. ”
"I can't be an Bangwu can't set the country, the only thing I can do is cooking, do you want me to be responsible for three meals a day for you?" Aftertaste frowned and prevaricated lightly.
Liang Yi was choked for a moment, knowing that he was unwilling to continue on this topic, paused, and when he looked back at the aftertaste, he followed his gaze and fixed on Su Miao, who was walking in front, Liang Yi thought about it, shook his head with a smile, and said no more.
Su Miao took Su Xian's hand and came to the garden, the cooking show in the garden was still continuing, Su Miao slipped into the crowd of onlookers first, and then found that the table in front of the young man named Aji was not a table, but a large and hot iron plate, and what he was doing was not a barbecue performance, but a ...... Teppanyaki! (To be continued.) )
