Chapter 15 Be careful, Zhang Qian gets up and looks for you

Speaking of this pork skin, many places like to make skin jelly, but compared to skin jelly, Wang Xuan prefers to eat cold salad, of course, if there is chili, then barbecue or fried, it will be better.

But now there is no chili, Wang Xuan can only order to make a pepper sesame pork skin, cut the boiled pork skin into small strips, put in coriander, shallots, garlic foam, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper oil, salt, sugar, wasabi foam and other seasonings, so stirred, a delicious pepper sesame pork skin is completed.

Don't ask me why the Tang Dynasty had condiments such as garlic, coriander, soy sauce, aged vinegar, and sugar, not because of how powerful Wang Xuan is.

It's because our ancestors are so powerful, garlic and coriander will appear on the tables of the Chinese people, all because of the credit of Zhang Qian, the first king of goods in ancient times, after all, the Silk Road is not for fun.

As for the aged vinegar, it was originally another product in the fermentation process of fruit wine, and the wine has been in China for so long, and the aged vinegar is not, so it can't be said.

And soy sauce was also invented as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the history of Chinese catering civilization, so it is not normal for the Tang Dynasty to have soy sauce?

On the contrary, it is white sugar, which Wang Xuan made himself in Shu County a year ago, and the production principle of white sugar is also very simple, it is made by adding boiled sucrose to beef bone meal and refining it.

So don't say that the Tang Dynasty people didn't have so many vegetables and seasonings on the table, they not only had, but also very rich, just because of the backwardness of iron smelting technology and iron ore mining technology at that time, so that they did not have a large amount of available steel, which made the Tang Dynasty seem that the food culture was so underdeveloped, but this was limited to stir-frying.

But others, such as boiling, stewing, steaming and other cooking techniques, then they play with the fire, after all, this is their daily cooking method, and it is feasible to play.

And don't say that there was no vegetable oil in the Tang Dynasty, or that sentence, when you say this, be careful that Zhang Qian, the first king of goods in ancient times, jumped out of the ground and scolded you.

In fact, vegetable oil has been there since the Han Dynasty, but the vegetable oil at that time was mostly used to make silk cloth, and there were very few edible ones, anyway, it was not eaten by the royal family and the upper magnates, so there would definitely be no record.

So as a time-traveler, after discovering that there were so many vegetables, seasonings and vegetable oils commonly consumed in modern society in the Tang Dynasty, could Wang Xuan not use them?

The answer is that Wang Xuan not only used this product, but also used it very well, now as long as the peppers are ripe and he is making a better pot, then he can make all the dishes he likes to eat in the future.

But now! This thing is taking the oil residue with white sugar to find the Ximei who is busy in the front yard.

Although he didn't want to be a beast, Wang Xuan still made it to give cute and eye-catching little beauties some personally made food.

No, as soon as Wang Xuan came to the front yard, he shouted at Ximei, who was still busy, "Ximei, come here, Brother Wang made you something delicious, come and taste it."

"Brother Wang, are you calling me?" Hearing Wang Xuan shouting to herself, Ximei turned to look at Wang Xuan cutely and asked.

"If there's no one else here, it's you! Hurry up and wash your hands, or I won't give it to you" Looking at Ximei who was so cute, Wang Xuan smiled and teased Ximei.

"Oh, I'll go now" Sure enough, hearing this, Ximei's little face turned red, and she quickly obeyed Wang Xuan's instructions and ran to wash her hands.

When Ximei returned to the front yard, Wang Xuan was already sitting on the stone steps in the lobby of the front yard waiting for her, and when Ximei came back, Wang Xuan beckoned to her and called her over.

Then the two of them sat on the stone steps, blowing the wind and eating the sugar residue, looking so unhappy.

Of course, Ximei, who had eaten the white sugar oil residue for the first time, also screamed at this fragrant and sweet food, but when Wang Xuan repeatedly told her that this was a little secret between them, Ximei smiled and did not scream, but sat there with Wang Xuan with a red face.

"Brother Wang, this white sugar oil residue is delicious, when are you cooking it for me to eat?" After the two of them finished eating a small pot of white sugar oil residue, Ximei lowered her head shyly and asked Wang Xuan in a very small voice.

"Haha, little girl, you have to like to eat, Brother Wang will sit down and give it to you in the future, but you have to remember to keep it secret! You can't tell the story of this white sugar, even your father and mother can't say it" Looking at Ximei's cute little appearance, Wang Xuan couldn't help but rub Ximei's little head and said to her.

"Well, Brother Wang, I promise not to tell you, this is a secret between us! I won't tell anyone! Seeing that Wang Xuan agreed, Ximei jumped up happily, jumping in circles like a little butterfly in front of Wang Xuan.

Looking at the happy girl dancing happily in front of him, looking at her smile blooming like a peach blossom, Wang Xuan was drunk at this moment, he was like a beast.

It's just that as soon as this idea arose, it was immediately broken by Liu Sanshun, who suddenly broke in.

"Little sister, what's so happy, haven't you already guessed that our mosquito coils are selling well today, the third brother will tell you! Just now, my father sold all the mosquito coils, guess how much money they sold" Liu Sanshun smiled so happily when she came in and saw her little sister, and thought that she had guessed that the mosquito coils were selling well, and said as if she was invited.

"Third brother, what are you talking about, mosquito coils have been sold, great, great, now the eldest brother is saved, third brother, you will tell me how much money it sold" Although he was disturbed by his brother and Wang Xuan's solitude, as soon as she heard that the mosquito coils were sold, Ximei still happily asked herself how much the third brother sold.

"Ximei, don't ask, it should have been sold for three hundred and forty-eight wen, isn't it, Brother Sanshun" Liu Sanshun didn't answer, Wang Xuan, who was on the side, leaned on the stone steps with his head in his hand and gave a number.

Hearing Wang Xuan's words, Liu Sanshun stared at Wang Xuan like a ghost, and when Ximei saw this, she immediately understood that this was her eldest brother Wang who was right, otherwise her third brother would not have shown such an expression.

"You guys, don't look surprised, when Uncle Liu came back just now, he told me that he brought 1,152 mosquito coils, and this 1,152 divided by three, isn't it three white forty-eight?"

"Wait a minute, my meat, my God, I forgot, I still have stewed meat on the fire, Brother Sanshun, don't be stunned, go and call my uncle, aunt and uncle They come over for dinner, Ximei, come and help me serve food" Wang Xuan just rushed to Liu Sanshun's brother and sister to divide a handful of elementary school students, but the next moment he thought that he had just patronized Ximei, forgetting that he was still stewing meat on the fire, he jumped up and rushed to the kitchen, and while running back, he ordered the two brothers and sisters who were stunned, one to call someone to eat, and the other to come and help.

Looking at Wang Xuan who ran away, the Liu Sanshun brothers and sisters recovered from the shock, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and did as Wang Xuan instructed.
