Volume 1: The 36th Goose and Duck in the Chef Championship

Next chapter

Inside the Peony Hall. At this time, a guy standing at the table with a proud face has the same name as Germany's most famous fighter of World War II.

Messerschmidt!

This is the monster that bloodied countless space heroes in the skies over Europe and even on the battlefields of North Africa.

At this time, this buddy named Messerschmidt also looked at Li Gengxin who was standing in front of the table with a playful expression.

The corner of Yang Hongli's eyes glanced at this Messerschmidt, and his body twisted slightly to face everyone, ensuring that everyone could not see her expression, Yang Hongli muttered in a low voice: "Update, this person seems to be sincerely looking for fault!" ”

Li Gengxin, who spat out slightly, lowered his head and whispered.

In fact, there is no need for Yang Hongli to say that Li Gengxin himself is not a fool. How can you not see that this person named Messerschmidt is looking for something awkward?

As we all know, roast duck, roast goose, roast turkey or roast suckling pig are the world's cuisine. That's all a long time ago.

Moreover, in the capital of China, the capital. This roast duck has long become a business card of the city, a business card from the Chinese food scene.

Food, although it is also regional, but for foodies. Food has never had borders.

This Messerschmidt went so far as to say that this business card of China's capital is a copycat of their Germans. Doesn't this make it clear that you want to find faults?

Although Li Gengxin sometimes jokes with Zhao Dahai and them: Don't quarrel if you can solve the problem by fighting. Don't move your mouth when you can use your fists. But that's just a joke.

Besides, sitting in the rich peony hall today is a parent in Huai City, a feudal official! The mayor didn't speak, if he rashly contradicted or made a move......

Wait a minute!

Li Gengxin paused, looked back at the mayor-waiting on the side and Lin Noah, who was sitting next to him and was looking at Messerschmidt with great interest, Li Gengxin seemed to understand something.

Although Li Gengxin had a lot of thoughts, from Yang Hongli turning around and talking to Li Gengxin, to Li Gengxin muttering in response and flashing thoughts in his mind. This qiē is just a matter of ticking.

Messerschmitt stood at the table, looked around from side to side, and everyone's eyes were focused on him at this time, and a little people seemed to be crazy, and they were even more excited.

Raising his finger, he pointed to the roast duck on Li Gengxin's console and said loudly: "Everyone can not know? This Chinese roast duck is not their country's own thing at all. ”

"Mr. Messerschmidt. I have to warn you. It's time to watch your rhetoric. This is not the headquarters of your Opel Automobile, this is the Huai City of China! Lin Noah coughed twice and responded to Messerschmidt's voice.

This Messerstermi seems to be afraid that Lin Noah will not speak! At this time, seeing that Lin Noah opened his mouth, this Messerschmidt was even more energetic.

"Oh? Mr. Lim. You've given yourself a Chinese name. Are you starting to fight against China's cottages? A retort made Lin Noah a little embarrassed, and at this time, none of the three tables of guests in the restaurant were still whispering to the neighbors, and all of them turned their heads to look at Lin Noah and Messerschmidt.

Twisting his head slightly, Lin Noah's gaze slowly moved from Messerschmidt to Mayor Waiting beside him. He asked softly: "Mayor Hou." Is your roast duck really someone else's? I don't really understand that. ”

Knowing is knowing is not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing.

Lin Noya did not blindly act as the vanguard, but first whispered to Mayor Hou. If this roast duck is really a copycat from Germany, Lin Noah is naturally unwilling to help the Chinese carry the banner of national independence.

Of course, if Messerschmitt is making trouble out of nothing. Lin Noah didn't mind using his status as the captain of the alliance delegation to suppress this Messerschmidt.

"This ...... This ...... "Mayor Hou is a little embarrassed.

Although, Mayor Hou knew that this roast duck had been carried forward by the people of Dejuquan in the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, there was another relatively famous roast duck restaurant in the capital Hademen.

Dejuquan's hanging oven roast duck, cheap fang's smoldering oven roast duck. This is a century-old store that has been passed down to this day.

But what was it like a hundred years ago? Mayor Hou is not a food expert. Even if it's a food buff. I only have an understanding of the acre and three points of land in Huai City.

Roast duck......

Mayor Hou really felt a little confused!

Messerschmitt watched Lin Noya and Mayor Hou whispering at this time, and the two of them didn't even answer their questions for a long time.

It seems that these two didn't understand the details of the roast duck until the end.

"Hahaha...... I don't know, do you? It's okay, how about I sue you? After Messerschmidt finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Noah and the others to respond to him, and then the Mandarin with a strange accent was like a fighter jet popping crazy to vent his spittle.

"In your Chinese customs, after a good harvest, or before going out to sea to fish, you have to sacrifice to your ancestors or the gods to protect you, right? But after our abundant harvest in the West, we also have to thank the gods for their gifts! The coming of the Light.

So in the West, a long, long time ago, there was Thanksgiving. Moreover, at that time, our Thanksgiving Day in the West was to eat roast poultry! Of course, it is not necessary to eat roast goose as it is now. ”

"Roast goose?" Lee updated his brows. Slightly fluted. I can't figure out what Dejuquan's roast duck has to do with their roast goose.

Could it be that this Messerschmitt wants to say that roast duck is the predecessor of roast goose?

Li Gengxin's mind turned, and at the same time, he was also paying attention to what kind of fallacies and heresies that Messerschmitt buddy could say!

At this time, I listened to him talk endlessly, quoting scriptures and saying, "You must be curious. Why eat roast poultry? ”

Messerschmidt's gaze circled around the Peony Hall of Dejuquan. After watching everyone give all their eyes and thoughts to themselves, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Then he said, "Why? Then we need to look at the Bible. In the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible, there is a passage that says: Moses led the Israelites into the Sinai desert without food or drink. The Israelis were greatly dissatisfied. Start complaining. Moses said, "God heard their complaints." Will give them food. ”

As a result, a large number of quails flew in the next day and landed on their camp.

Moses said, "This is the meat that God has given you to eat." ”

So they had a hearty meal. This is probably the earliest Thanksgiving in Judaism.

The Israelites ate the quail in what way. The Bible does not record it. But when we think about it, we know that it must be roasted and eaten. Because they were in the desert at the time, there was a shortage of water, and it was impossible to cook. It is also impossible to steam. And they don't steam either. And only baking doesn't require any cooking utensils. They fled from Egypt. Must not have brought a bulky and expensive copper pot. At that time, there was no aluminum and iron at all. Ordinary people can't afford to use copperware, but in China at that time, the copper pot was a tripod, which was a terrible thing.

The fleeing Israelis would not have taken such a thing with them.

Clay pots used by ordinary people are easy to break and cannot be carried on the road. So they must have roasted the quail. After all, it's one of the best ways to make it.

So in our Westernization, there is such a content: birds are God's salvation and gift to man. People should have roasted it and eaten it. And it's best to eat them on Thanksgiving.

Quails are much smaller than geese. And geese are also birds. After all, people are always looking for fat and meaty food. In particular, the goose is a specialty of the Mediterranean region, just as the turkey is a specialty of the Americas. So later people ate roast goose instead of roasted quail on Thanksgiving. In fact, on many festivals, roast goose is eaten.

Because Western festivals are mostly related to God. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they discovered that God's gift to them was a turkey. So they ate roast turkey to thank God. Got the story of the roast chicken. It's easier to accept the story of roast duck. Therefore, the ancestor of roast duck is the roast goose of the West. ”

After listening to Messerschmidt's introduction to the base, Li Gengxin looked as if he was standing in the auditorium of Harvard University and telling his classmates about history. I almost didn't control my feelings, and the duck knife in my hand was so hung on the face of Messerschmidt!

Messerschmitt did this, and Huaxia did not do less to become that stick country. What kimchi is from our stick country, this is from our stick country, and that is from our stick country. It seems that the 5,000-year-old inheritance of China, as well as most of the rivers and mountains of China, belong to their stick country!

Now, this Messerschmidt, who stands in his own virtue and gathering, is also in a big and playful posture. Seven around and eight around. I guess it's said that the roast duck will really be theirs after a while.

"Enough!" Li Gengxin and Lin Noah actually spoke in unison, saying the same sentence at the same time in two different positions in the Peony Hall!

Messerschmidt paused for a moment, and then looked at Li Gengxin with a naughty grin on his face, and there was a look of success in his eyes.

Lin Noya glanced at Li Gengxin, but didn't let Li Gengxin have time to speak, and said first: "Messerschmidt, I have to remind you that some strong words are very inappropriate not to say here!" ”

"Huh...... What do you think? Messerschmidt asked Lin Noah.

And Li Gengxin said on the side: "If it's this kind of strong rhetoric. I feel compelled to warn you. There is a good saying in Huaxia: when a friend comes, there is wine, if a jackal comes, only a shotgun awaits him! ”

"You? Hahaha...... I really want to see what your shotguns look like! Lin Noah complained loudly at Li Gengxin.

After all, in Messerschmitt's opinion. Everyone present was just trembling at Lin Noya beside Mayor Hou.

As for what Mayor Hou. That's just an ordinary local official in China. In their hometowns, such officials stuff votes and girls, and it is easy for them to wag their tails and beg for mercy on themselves.

As for Lee's update? That's just a chef. What can a chef do even if he is famous? Isn't he just a chef after all? I really don't take Li Gengxin seriously.

Of course, there are some things that Lin Noah didn't come out of.

"I still haven't finished speaking, Mr. Lin seems to be supposed to let me finish speaking?" Messerschmidt smiled at Lin Noah. Lang Sheng continued: "It is well documented that the roast goose technology has been introduced to China twice. The first time was in the Yuan Dynasty. And the second time was in the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Oh?" After listening to Messerschmidt's words, Lin Noah was slightly stunned.

In such a stunned manner, Messerschmidt had already spoken aloud at length.

Messerschmitt mentions that during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol Empire occupied a large territory. From the eastern part of China to the Mediterranean region, it is his territory. That's why Westerners like Marco Polo have the opportunity to come to China!

Of course, here it is. Similarly, Marco Polo and these people also brought a lot of Western science and technology to China.

This includes cannons, but also roast geese.

In the Yuan Dadu period, there was actually a roast duck restaurant.

But why did it change from roast goose to roast duck?

Messerschmidt mentions that the reason is the same as when a goose becomes a turkey. History repeats itself, but in a slightly different way.

According to local conditions, everyone found that duck is a specialty of China.

The duck used in the roast duck is a fine breed bred in China. This kind of duck is now known as "cramming". Its scientific name is also called Kyoto duck.

Nowadays, this duck is eaten all over the world.

"If there are ducks all over the world, why don't you make roast duck and roast goose?" Yang Hongli didn't control his feelings, and when he heard Messerschmidt say this, he immediately asked him a rhetorical question.

After a moment of silence, Messerschmitt said aloud: "I'm talking about wild ducks all over the world!" Note that they are wild ducks, and it is undeniable that only you Han Chinese have domesticated them!

I heard that wild ducks have been domesticated since ancient times. That is, the mallard of the "mallard" in the UK.

The name is now a brand of clothing.

And we in Europe did not domesticate ducks. But the goose was domesticated very early. There's no denying that we've been ahead of you for too long.

Actually, I still want to say that it is enough for us to domesticate geese. Because geese are bigger than ducks, as for ducks, people in the Mediterranean and Europe have always used it only as prey. There is a record of geese in the Bible. The legend of Rome tells the story of a team of geese who saved Rome. And geese are not as common in China as ducks. You go to every pond where there are ducks, and you rarely see geese. So the roast goose becomes the roast duck in China. In the era of the Yuan Dynasty, the roast duck was almost exactly the same as our roast goose in the West.

As far as I know, this is called "roast duck in the oven" in China. But it seems that even your own people in Huaxia can't eat this kind of roast duck anymore? ”

Speaking of which, Yang Hongli, who was standing next to Li Gengxin, suddenly snorted and laughed!

"Do you think I'm telling a joke about this oriental lady full of charm?" Messerschmidt frowned and asked Yang Hongli, who was very close to him.
