Chapter 43: Culinary Master Ye Shuwu

"Let's have something to eat!" Ye Kai shook a bowl of boiled mutton towards He Yu'er.

This pot of mutton was cooked by him himself, and Ye Kai in his previous life liked to cook something by himself, and this habit has not changed until now.

A fat mutton, with enough bay leaves, star anise, grass fruits, and chili peppers that people don't know how to use in this era, the fragrance makes the people around them hungry, even the injured men in black!

He Yuer wanted to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance and swore not to eat, but.... After being hungry for most of the day, she smelled this bowl of fragrant mutton, and she couldn't muster the courage to refuse.

After being silent for a long time, He Yu'er still couldn't resist the temptation of food, and glared at Ye Kai a few times shyly and anxiously, "You tied my hands, how can I eat?" ”

How to eat? Ye Kai smiled sheepishly, I will feed you at that time, he picked up a large piece of trembling fat sheep's tail with chopsticks and handed it to He Yu'er's mouth.

He Yu'er glanced at Ye Kai angrily again, slowly opened her mouth and bit the mutton into her mouth, and suddenly, she was a little embarrassed, and her eyes suddenly widened.

This piece of mutton only has a slight smell, which is completely different from the mutton she used to cook, and this smell does not destroy the deliciousness of the mutton at all, but is just right, and there is a hot and spicy feeling echoing around in her mouth.

As a Sichuan girl, eating spicy food is simply engraved in her genes, although she has never eaten spicy before, but she was fascinated by this special taste.

In Sichuan in this era, chili peppers have not yet been cultivated on a large scale, let alone eaten on a large scale.

At this time, the people who planted the most chili peppers were Fujian and Zhejiang people who did not eat much spicy food in later generations, but they did not eat them, but used them more to decorate, because the chili peppers were red, green and green, and they looked very good.

The real chili pepper began to be accepted by the Chinese on a large scale, and it had to wait another sixty or seventy years, and after sixty or seventy years, the Western powers knocked on the door of China, and the Qing government not only compensated a large amount of money, but also destroyed the female weavers of the male and female weavers who originally maintained the small peasant economy because of the large entry of foreign goods.

In China's feudal society, women's weaving is an extremely important economic source for ordinary farmers, needles, threads, brains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, basically all of which are exchanged for women's weaving.

In a feudal society, as long as the female weaver is not destroyed, it can still barely survive, and the Chinese who can barely eat enough food actually do not eat much animal offal, because this thing is not easy to do, and it is too fishy and too shameful.

And when a large number of people can't eat enough, animal offal, these things that are not treated well, also enter people's field of vision.

At this time, some people found that chili peppers can well cover the fishy smell of internal organs such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and internal organs can provide more energy than corn, sweet potatoes, etc.

As a result, this type of offal made with chili peppers began to appear, and it became a delicacy that was especially popular with the coolie crowd.

Slowly, the habit of taking chili pepper as a very important seasoning began to become popular on a large scale, and it can be seen from the recipes of later generations that wherever you eat spicy, you are good at cooking with animal offal!

After eating three or four pieces of mutton, He Yu'er suddenly blushed, firstly, it was a bit too ashamed to be fed meat by a young man like this, and secondly, she suddenly wanted to drink two sips, she usually has the habit of drinking some wine, and now she encounters such a braised mutton, it is simply uncomfortable not to drink a few sips!

"Either you can untie my hands! I'll eat it myself! He Yu'er snorted a few times embarrassedly, Ye Kai hadn't heard too clearly, and Zhao Zhenren, who was forcing himself to eat mutton, was shaking!

"Don't worry! I won't beat him anymore, anyway, when my brother comes, this guy will not escape death! He Yu'er snorted coldly at Zhao Zhenren again!

Since He Yu'er said so, Ye Kai also decided to believe him once, and untied He Yu'er's hands, and sure enough, He Yu'er didn't beat Zhao Zhenren again, but picked up the bowl of mutton by herself, hiss, hissed and ran to the man in black to eat and drink a mouthful of meat and wine!

Ye Kai threw a reassuring look at Zhao Zhenren, who was frightened again, and turned his head and walked to He Yu'er's side.

"Can you tell me about it? Why do you hate Zhao Zhenren so much, if I remember correctly, he just swallowed your brother's money, so that you don't hate him like this, and that money is not too much, I can pay it back to your brother for Zhao Zhenren! ”

He Yu'er poured another big sip of wine before looking back at Ye Kai, "It's really the eldest young master of a big family!" Eight thousand taels of silver is not too much?

In my hometown, the life of a man in the prime of life is not worth five taels of silver, and eight thousand taels of silver can buy the life of a good man! And you can pay back the money for him, and when a person dies, can you still pay it back for him? ”

"Human life?" Ye Kai looked at He Yu'er suspiciously!

"Huh!" He Yu'er, who was a little drunk and looked a little drunk, chuckled lightly, "At that time, not long after we arrived in Longchuan, my brother had to leave the East China Sea and come here because of a little conflict with Mo Guanfu.

Although Mo Guanfu still paid attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes and did not send anyone to chase and kill, the grain, grass, weapons, and medicinal materials were basically detained by them.

When we came to Ryukawa, we didn't have anything but a boat from the Ryukyus on the way, and everyone was counting on these things to be exchanged for food and medicinal herbs! ”

He Yu'er said and put the bowl on the table, "This guy was still with us at the time, he can speak well, and he is my brother's senior brother, we all call him Uncle Zhao!"

He said that he had a way to turn the looted things into money and food in Thonburi City, so my brother gave him most of the looted things and asked a dozen brothers to accompany him to Thonburi. ”

After speaking, He Yu'er looked at Zhao Zhenren fiercely, "How do you know that this dog thing, when you get to Tunwuli, it will change your hexagram!"

At first, he was struggling, and the brothers who went with him thought that he had not found a way, but later learned that he was trying to find a way to hack the money and go to live his own free life, and later, he finally found a profiteer who was willing to go along with him!

And we waited for many days, but we did not get any money or food, so the brothers who went with us tried to go to him and ask him, but when they saw him wandering around with a Siamese prostitute in his arms, and after questioning him, he shouted that the brothers who went with him were thieves.

More than a dozen brothers, and in the end, only two came back alive, and there was no money and food, and the goods were gone!

There is no way, my brother can only take us and take the risk to attack the Xishan Dynasty to find food, and since then he has formed a feud with the Annan people in Xishan!

Hundreds of people have died in the hands of the Xishan Army over the years, all of them are harmed by this dog, if it weren't for him, how could we provoke the Xishan Army! ”

Hiss! Ye Kai is a little dodgy, the black-hearted profiteer who Zhao Zhenren colluded with is not his family's Longsheng!

It is estimated that the third uncle Ye Fushun personally handled it, because his father said that Zhao Zhenren carried a big black cauldron, at least eight thousand taels of silver, and in the end only gave Zhao Zhenren one thousand taels!

However, he finally understood the main reason why He Xiwen went thousands of miles to join Ruan Fuying in history, because after he was killed by Zhao Zhenren, he had to attack the people of the Xishan Dynasty, and he had a conflict with Mo Guanfu, who called himself the King of the East China Sea, He Xiwen had only one way to take refuge in Ruan Fuying!

Thinking of He Xiwen's smooth journey after taking refuge in Nguyen Phuc Ying, and finally became the commander of the naval army, General Zhao Yi, and the upper protector, and after his death, he was enshrined in the Xianzhong Ancestral Hall, and ranked among the second-class heroes of the Vietnamese version of the Qilin Pavilion - Wangge, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!
