Drunken Immortal Building.

Cheng Chumo sat alone in the hall on the first floor, waiting for something bored.

He was waiting for Li Zexuan, oh, to be precise, he should be waiting for Li Zexuan to make a new dish.

Because there are not many diners in the Zuixian Building today, Li Zexuan has no plans to go to the upstairs private room.

Li Zexuan told Shopkeeper Liu that he had brought a few new things to the Drunken Immortal Building, but it was not only about the gentle township and the drunken immortals, but he also wanted to teach Wang Erhu a few new dishes to compete with the palace delicacies of Yunxi Building.

Inside the kitchen of the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Erhu, do you have pork here?"

Li Zexuan wanted to make a braised pork first, but he remembered that in the time crossing he had seen in his previous life, it was said that the pigs of the Tang Dynasty were not castrated, and they were extremely fishy, and they were regarded by the nobles as cheap meat that only commoners could eat, so he asked with some concern.

"Sir, of course there is pork!" Wang Erhu replied a little strangely.

Li Zexuan was a little surprised, and said, "Then you go and cut four catties of pork belly for me." ”

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, Wang Erhu came over with a large piece of pork belly.

"Sir, do you think these are enough?"

Li Zexuan nodded, leaned over and sniffed it curiously, and then frowned and muttered, "There is no fishy smell, it's not scientific." ”

Wang Erhu looked confused: "Sir, what did you say?" What to learn? ”

"It's nothing, Erhu, was this pig castrated before it was born?" Li Zexuan diverted the topic and asked.

Wang Erhu smiled and said, "Hehe, sir, this is a sow." ”

Li Zexuan: "........."

"Are all the boars sold in the East Market castrated?" Li Zexuan couldn't help but say the mother who sold the batch in his mouth, and continued to ask.

Wang Erhu smiled: "Hehe, sir, look at what you said, of course they have all been castrated, if this boar is not castrated, how smelly it is." ”

Li Zexuan patted his head, sure enough, the stories told in the crossing were all lies, and some authors were not responsible for speaking at all.

In fact, according to records, the castration pig has appeared as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the "Zhou Yi Da Animal Hexagram" has the saying of "the tooth of the pig, auspicious", which means that the castrated pig is no longer aggressive, and its teeth are not enough to fear, so it is auspicious.

The reason why pork has declined and become cheap meat is entirely due to specific historical reasons.

Since the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of northern nomads went south, and after more than 300 years of war, they were first unified in the Sui and then in the Tang.

Although the Li family, which established the Tang Dynasty, was Han Chinese, it had long been seriously Hu.

This is true of the royal family, as well as of the nobles and bureaucrats who can afford to eat meat. The Hu people naturally preferred to eat mutton, and pork gradually declined, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Su Shi invented Dongpo meat that pork began to become popular again.

Since pork doesn't have that fishy taste, Li Zexuan plans to make a few more famous dishes about pork, he has been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, and he hasn't eaten pork, the Li family is a rich family, of course Mrs. Li won't give her son pork.

An hour later, Li Zexuan looked at the four famous pork dishes in front of him: braised pork, braised lion's head, Dongpo meat, and back pot meat, and nodded with satisfaction, the only disadvantage is that there are no vermicelli in the Tang Dynasty, and you can't make pork stewed vermicelli!

"Erhu, I heard that Yunxi Lou paid twice the price to dig you, why don't you leave?"

Li Zexuan saw that Wang Erhu was tired and sweating, so he asked casually.

When Wang Erhu heard this, his expression immediately became serious, no longer giggling like before, he wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, bowed his chubby body very seriously and said:

"Sir, although I have never read a book, I will definitely not be able to do something ungrateful.

I used to be just an ordinary cook, you can afford me, sir, taught me to make gnawing chickens, Liu shopkeeper later gave me a lot of wages, my mother-in-law and dolls have new clothes to wear, my mother also has meat to eat, all of this is brought to me by you, sir.

If I do that kind of ungrateful thing, will I still be a person? Not only me, but there are so many cooks in this drunken immortal building, if one person dares to betray the lord, I will be the first to fight with him! ”

Wang Erhu was a little excited as he spoke, every word was loud, Li Zexuan was also a little moved by this simple man in his heart, he quickly patted Wang Erhu's shoulder, calmed his emotions, and said:

"Erhu, you are good, don't worry, you follow this lord, you will definitely not suffer, your family will only get better and better in the future!"

Wang Erhu nodded heavily and said, "Sir, Erhu understands. ”

………

Li Zexuan took a few small servants and brought out the four pork dishes, of course, there was a pot of chilled fairy drunk, which was brought from his house by Cheng Chumo when he came over, according to him, how could he go to the restaurant downstairs of the drunken immortal without good wine.

"Xiao Xuan, what kind of meat is this, why is it so fragrant?"

Cheng Chumo was like a dog, sniffing vigorously next to the dinner plate with his nose, Li Zexuan hurriedly pushed him away, he was afraid that the saliva of the two goods would be left inside, how would he eat in that case.

"It's all pork, you don't eat pork, ugly cow, right?"

"Ah, this is pork? How can pork be so fragrant? Cheng Chumo couldn't believe it.

"That's right, it's all pork, our eldest son of Lu Guogong will definitely not eat this cheap meat, right?"

Li Zexuan teased.

Cheng Chumo immediately shouted: "Fart, Lao Tzu doesn't care what kind of meat this is, such fragrant meat, it's rat meat, and I Lao Cheng also ate it." ”

Damn, this bastard will die if he doesn't lose his appetite when he eats, Li Zexuan really wants to kick him out.

"Uncle Liu, you also come over to taste this meat and this wine, and we will launch this in two days." Li Zexuan greeted Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu was already drooling on the side, and when he heard this, he hurriedly thanked him excitedly: "Thank you, young master!" ”

The three of them sat down, and Shopkeeper Liu poured a glass of wine for Cheng Chumo and himself with a very good look, and he knew that Li Zexuan didn't drink, so he didn't pour it.

As soon as this immortal drunk was exposed to the air, there was an extremely strong aroma of wine, which filled the entire hall on the first floor, and the fragrance was so strong that it even overshadowed the famous pork dishes such as Dongpo meat on the table.

A few diners sitting next to them, when the pork was brought out before, they smelled the smell, and they were already very hungry, and then they smelled this rich aroma of wine, and they put down their chopsticks one after another, looked here, and swallowed their saliva violently.

They wanted to come over and ask for something to eat, but Li Zexuan and they all knew each other, and they were lords, so they really didn't dare to offend, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

There was an eerie silence in the hall, and the sound of the diners swallowing was particularly harsh. Li Zexuan looked up and saw the eager and fearful eyes of those people, and then he understood, and he said to Shopkeeper Liu:

"Uncle Liu, there are still some dishes in the kitchen that have not been served, you go and give some to these diners. There is also our wine, one person gives them a drink, these are the most loyal customers of our Zuixian Building, and I will invite you to this meal. ”

Li Zexuan said this very loudly, and those diners heard it, and after reacting one by one, they thanked each other:

"Thank you, sir, this drunken immortal building, we will definitely come often in the future!"

"Yes, yes, we will come often in the future!"

"The lord is really atmospheric!"
