Chapter 41: Guess

Wei Qing's consolation is still very effective.

Most of the happiness and sorrow of human beings come from contrast.

A declining person, seeing another one who is more declining, will feel much better.

The same is true for Liu Che.

Not only did he change his mood, but he also turned around and comforted Wei Qing and said, "It's okay, after returning to Chang'an, if you can't afford to eat, you can come to the palace to eat, I will never let you drink porridge to survive!" ”

The relationship between Liu Che and Wei Qing is a bit complicated.

The two are each other's brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Liu Che married Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu.

Wei Qing married Liu Che's sister, Princess Pingyang.

However, this complex relationship also made the two closer.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Che attaches great importance to Wei Qing.

So Liu Che's words are also sincere, as long as he is there, he will indeed not let Wei Qing have a day of drinking porridge!

Wei Qing was also greatly moved, and arched his hand at Liu Che and said, "Qing, thank you for your grace!" ”

Liu Che waved his hand and said: "This is all a trivial matter, you don't need to thank you, the palace is not guarded against you, you can come and go at will!" ”

Wei Qing was about to say some more words of thanks, but Tang Qi said, "You two don't act, hurry up and clean up the table and prepare for a big meal!" ”

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi and said excitedly: "Dongpo's elbow is done?" ”

Tang Qi nodded and said, "Well, it should be almost, you just wait here, I'll go serve the plate!" ”

After saying that, Tang Qi got up and walked out of the wooden house and came to the stove.

At this time, the aroma of Dongpo's elbow has begun to overflow.

The best ingredient for making Dongpo elbow should be purebred Lantang pig, also known as hibiscus pig.

Su Dongpo wrote "Pork Eating Poems": Huangzhou is good pork, the price is as cheap as soil, the rich refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand cooking. Slow fire, less water, when the fire is enough, it is beautiful, come to eat a bowl every morning, and you can be full of your own king!

This Huangzhou pork is the Lantang pig.

The Lantang pork is fat and lean, and the taste is plump, but the wild boar meat raised by Tang Qi is not far behind.

Because there are more grain crops harvested on the island, Tang Qi basically uses sweet potatoes or potatoes to feed wild boars.

In addition, Tang Qi also specially picked some medicinal plants unique to the island and mixed them into pig food.

In this way, the wild boar itself can be free of fishy smell and slightly aromatic.

After some stewing, the wild boar will become more fragrant.

After Tang Qi lifted the lid of the pot, the aroma hit his nose.

Even though Tang Qi had eaten many delicious foods, he still couldn't help but move his Adam's apple and swallowed his saliva at this time.

"It was perfect!"

Tang Qi boasted to himself, and then took his elbow out of the pot and put it on the plate.

After that, Tang Qi strained the spices in the soup and poured it on his elbow.

A plate of fragrant Dongpo elbows is ready.

Tang Qi walked into the wooden house with a plate and put it on the table.

The strong aroma instantly attracted Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifuhe's eyes to their elbows.

"After this elbow is stewed, it looks so thick!"

Liu Che swallowed his saliva and commented.

Tang Qi said with a smile: "Dongpo's elbow pays attention to the thickness of the meat, even the taste of the belt meat into the bones, this dish was also called fairy meat when it first came out, the taste is unique, you hurry up and try it!" ”

Liu Che couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurriedly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.

This elbow looks soft and rotten, but in fact it is soft and rotten and not scattered, and when you pick it up, it is a piece, and the skin and flesh are not separated.

When you eat it in your mouth, the first thing that the tip of your tongue touches is the pork skin.

The pork skin has a gelatinous texture, but the taste is mellow and fragrant, and it tastes smooth and tough.

Then there is the lean meat wrapped in pork skin.

The lean meat is elastic and has a dry feeling, but it is not firewood at all.

This whole piece of elbow meat can be called melt-in-your-mouth, and the taste is incomparable, not greasy at all, but refreshing and pleasant, with a fragrance of its own.

Liu Che's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed loudly: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, this is simply Xianzhen!" ”

When Wei Qing and Wei Zifu heard this, they hurriedly followed and put a piece of chopsticks and meat into their mouths.

Immediately, the two of them also showed expressions of enjoyment on their faces.

Real food is like that, it can bring extreme pleasure and pleasure to the senses!

As a chef, Tang Qi himself is very happy to see the diners enjoying it so much.

Because of the deliciousness, Liu Che. Wei Qing and Wei Zifu ate extremely fast.

In less than two minutes, the three of them ate the part of the middle bone.

"Huh!"

Liu Che said with some confusion: "How is this bone amber?" And it's soft! ”

As he spoke, Liu Che pressed it lightly with chopsticks, and the touch was Q bomb!

Wei Qing scratched his head and said, "Could it be that the bones in this pig's knuckle have been replaced with amber?" This skill is also clever! ”

Wei Zifu followed and said: "The color does look like amber, very beautiful." ”

Tang Qi said with a smile: "If you are curious, you can take a chopstick and taste it, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised!" ”

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi in some surprise: "Mr. Tang, this bone ...... Oh no, is this amber really edible? ”

Tang Qi nodded: "Of course, but I can tell you in advance that this is neither a bone nor amber, you can guess what it is!" ”

At this time, Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu's curiosity was aroused.

It's in the part of the bone, but it's not the bone.

It's the color of amber, but it's not amber, which is really amazing.

"Then let me taste it first!"

Liu Che took the lead in using chopsticks and poked them into the bones.

Sure enough, it's not the texture of bone, it's soft and slippery, and it's very elastic.

Liu Che directly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, and instantly a refreshing feeling filled his mouth, with a more delicious taste, which was different from the taste of pork, but it was not repulsive.

"It tastes a bit like ......"

Liu Che wanted to say a dish with a similar taste, but he didn't find it after a long time in his mind.

That's weird.

Liu Che is also the emperor of the dynasty, and he has eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the taste he has tasted is like stars in the sky.

But this taste, which is similar to "bones" and "amber", Liu Che really hadn't tasted it before.

"Mr. Tang, what kind of ingredient is this?"

Liu Che couldn't help but ask Tang Qi.

Tang Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't tell you this yet, you have to guess for yourself, if you really can't guess, I'll tell you again!" ”

"I'll try it!"

Wei Zifu was not to be outdone, and also moved his chopsticks.

The amber substance inside is like jelly, obediently picked up and wrapped in the flesh.

After Wei Zifu ate this thing in his mouth, his eyes immediately widened.

Really...... It's delicious!

Wei Zifu was deeply shocked by this taste, and he just squinted and enjoyed it......
