Chapter 12 Boiled fish without chili peppers loses more than dignity (ask for collection and recommendation)
"Madness cures madness? I have lived for so many years, and the first time I heard such a statement, I didn't know ...... Yuan Qing, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the wise Tang Taizong is also a head of mush."
Seeing the curiosity and inquisitive gaze hidden in the concealment cast by Li Shimin, Yuan Tiangang, a bull-nosed veteran who worked for the court, also turned a little dark.
"Your Majesty, those rumors are all made up, and they are not like that at all."
"The minister and Sun Daochang went to Chengfu just to treat the people in Xinfeng County who were bitten by rabid dogs."
Li Shimin was stunned and looked at the famous medical expert in Datang in front of him. "If you want to save the people, what does it have to do with Cheng Mansion?"
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's expression became very complicated, and he stroked his long beard and smiled shyly. "Speaking of this, it is really embarrassing for the minister."
Yuan Tiangang recounted the reasons why they went to Chengfu, what happened to them after arriving at Chengfu, and the process of finally having to evacuate in embarrassment.
Li Shimin coughed dryly several times, and finally did not lose his honor in front of his subordinates, and stroked his long beard in disguise and said curiously. "Then do you think the suggestion made by Cheng Chubi is feasible?"
Yuan Tiangang finally rubbed his face very shamelessly and said categorically. "Definitely not, rabbits and dogs are completely different animals, and if rabbits can be infected with rabies, then the scenario is ......"
Li Shimin's face was a little dark when he thought of the white and soft rabbits coming out of their holes, running in the countryside and fields with hideous faces and drooling, and then frantically biting people.
Looking at the figure of Yuan Tiangang saying goodbye and leaving, Li Shimin stood up a little irritably and walked to the gate of the palace. It's spring, and at this time, rabies hurting people have been reported everywhere.
Rabies are endless, and the injured are all dead, and I don't know when we will be able to find the right medicine.

In the courtyard of the kitchen of Chengfu, there is a new stove, and the stove is nearly three feet high, which is very suitable for people to stand and cook.
This stove has only one fire eye, and in addition, the inner wall of the stove is in the shape of a hood, which is convenient for the fire to be concentrated in the fire eye. The chimney next to the stove is made of bricks, and the chimney is about a foot high.
At this moment, one servant is adding firewood and grass to the stove, and the other is holding a blowing stick and is struggling to blow the fire. The fire on the stove has begun to burst into flames.
Cheng Chubi, wearing a high hat, an apron on his body, and sleeves on both hands, this strange outfit fell into the eyes of the surrounding audience, but it was so outstanding.
He was holding a freshly made iron pot. This is just a very ordinary iron pot, without a refined iron pot that has been tempered thousands of times, and it is definitely an imperfect thing for Chinese chefs.
It's a pity that the time is tight, because Cheng Chubi is really not satisfied with using the washing copper basin to cook, which is too unstylish and lacks the ritual sense of the chef's cooking. Therefore, Cheng Chubi could only let Cheng Ji order such an iron pot according to the shape and requirements.
The edge is slightly thinner, the center is slightly thicker, the overall thickness is average, the weight is more than three catties, and there is a short handle that is easy to hold.
Seeing that the flames were starting to flourish, Cheng Chubi put the cleaned iron pot in his hand on the fire and began to slowly heat the iron pot evenly......
Cheng Ji, Chef Mei, Cheng Lao Si, Lao No. 5, and Lao Liu stood aside, their expressions were all serious, and their eyes were all in awe.
"Uncle Ji, what is my third brother doing here?"
"Go back to the fifth son, the third son, he wants to open the pot."
"Aren't the pots covered? Why do you want to open ......?"
Cheng Laosi turned his head and proudly displayed the knowledge he had heard from the third brother before.
"You two don't know. The so-called boiling pot refers to the fact that the new iron pot needs to be treated before it can be used, and these techniques and processes are called boiling. ”
Cheng Lao Wu nodded suddenly, and then asked expectantly. "Fourth brother, what will the third brother do today?"
"The third brother said, I'm going to make a boiled fish today, alas, I don't know what it tastes like...... Cheng Laosi raised his sleeve and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, salivating.
At this time, Cheng Chubi, who had opened the pot with vegetable oil and animal fat, put the pot aside and wiped his hands. He began a dish he was preparing to cook today: boiled fish.
The wild grass carp has long been sliced and marinated and put aside, and the bean sprouts have also been washed and cooked and spread on the bottom of the basin.
Because after the iron pot is boiled, it needs to be left to rest overnight, so Cheng Chubi can only continue to use the copper basin that was once used for washing and has now become his special cooking tool.
Without dried chili peppers and Pixian bean paste, Cheng Chubi could only make the Tang Dynasty version of boiled fish fillet.
The chili pepper is replaced by dogwood, first pour the eclipse oil into the copper basin, wait for the oil to be hot, pour in the pepper and fry it slowly to get the flavor, and then pour in the dogwood and fry it together.
After the dogwood changes color, remove most of the peppercorns and dogwood from the pot, and then pour the garlic and ginger into the pot and fry until fragrant......
Just then, Cheng Chubi had just poured the softened fish fillets and fish soup into a pot with bean sprouts. I picked up the copper pot, boiled some hot oil, and poured it into a basin covered with peppercorns and dogwood.
In an instant, the smoke rose up, and the spicy and fragrant taste made everyone intoxicated and take a deep breath. Incense, what a special incense......
In the envious eyes of everyone, Cheng Chubi first picked up the water to rinse his mouth, and then he was the first to pick up the chopsticks and began to taste them.
The hemp taste is okay, and the fragrance is also there, but the spicy taste is not authentic, lacking the heavy spiciness, and the spicy flavor of Erjingtiao, and the salty freshness of Pixian bean paste.
Cheng Chubi muttered with a look of loss on his face. "Sure enough, boiled fish without chili peppers is like Chongqing noodles without spicy peppers, and it is not only dignity that is lost, but also soul ......"
Chef Mei took a deep breath of the fragrance with an intoxicated expression, and then sighed to Cheng Ji beside him with a face full of shame.
"The cooking skills of the third prince are really unfathomable, just smell its taste, look at its color, Mei dares to conclude that this boiled fish is a rare delicacy.
But looking at the disappointment and loss on the face of the third prince, it is enough to see that the third son's attainments in cooking skills have really been pursuing breakthroughs and lean salvation, and Mei is far behind. ”
"Third brother, how does it taste, can I eat it?" Cheng Laosi's saliva almost dripped into the basin containing the fish.
"What's the hurry?" Cheng Chubi glared at the foodie, but instead took out a bowl of fish from the basin and motioned to Chef Mei. "Chef Mei, come and try it?"
"Just smelling it, I feel that it is fresh and fragrant, and the cooking skills of the third son, the villain admires it in addition to admiration."
Chef Mei slapped a sycophant first, then couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of white and tender fish meat and put it in his mouth, the smooth and tender taste, the freshness that melted in his mouth made him squint his eyes.
"Fragrant, fresh, the fish is smooth and tender, this is definitely the most delicious fish fillet the villain has ever eaten, I didn't expect the fish to be cooked like this."
"Remember how to do it, and when it's time for dinner, remember to make more and let my dad and them taste it too."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Chubi heard a familiar voice. "Wow, what a delicious smell, what's delicious?"
