Seeing that Wei Zifu had fallen into a state of obsession and enjoyment, Wei Qing couldn't hold back anymore and tasted it.

It's a pity that Wei Qing is a rough person, after eating this thing in his mouth, he only thinks it is delicious, but he can't distinguish its material at all.

Liu Che automatically ignored Wei Qing and asked Wei Zifu directly, "Zifu, have you tasted what this is?" ”

Wei Zifu woke up from his intoxicated state, frowned slightly, and said, "This tastes a bit like seafood, but it doesn't have the fishy smell of seafood at all......

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Zifu finally said dejectedly: "I can't taste what it is!" ”

Liu Che immediately looked at Tang Qi and said, "Mr. Tang, we can't taste what it is, you better tell us directly!" ”

Tang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you directly, the main ingredient of this thing is staghorn vegetables!" ”

"Antlers?"

Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu were all stunned.

They had never heard of the term.

But it's also normal.

Staghorn is mainly grown on seaside rocks and is a type of seaweed.

It tends to grow in clusters, without branches, and its shape resembles antlers and its color is like amber, hence the name staghorns.

The main food eaten in the Han Dynasty was produced on land, so naturally it was not known to be staghorn vegetables.

It was only in the Song Dynasty hundreds of years later that this thing was really used as an ingredient.

The recipes of the Song Dynasty were already very rich.

There are basically things that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground.

Back to the topic, after a short period of confusion, Liu Che asked Tang Qi again: "Mr. Tang, this staghorn dish...... What is it again? ”

Tang Qi had long expected Liu Che to ask such a question.

He pulled out a ball of antlers from a sack in the corner and put it on the table.

"Oh, this is staghorn vegetables, a seaside specialty, can be made into cold dishes, can also be made into stir-fried vegetables or soup, the taste is crispy, nutritious, very replenishing!"

Tang Qi said to the three of them in an introductory tone.

Liu Che stretched out his finger and poked the antlers, then frowned and said, "The color of this antlers is similar to the 'bone', but it is much harder, Mr. Tang, how did you turn it into that soft and smooth look?" ”

Tang Qi smiled: "This is actually very simple, just boil it!" Boil the staghorn into a gelatinous texture and add some potato starch to make it coagulate together and become what it is now, with a very tender texture! ”

Liu Che nodded, seemingly understood, but in fact he still seemed to understand.

The main thing is that he doesn't understand the role of potato starch at all.

He only had a general idea of the process.

At this time, Wei Zifu said: "I think the most difficult part of this dish should be in the bone extraction, Mr. Tang, when you take the bones, you did not destroy the fascia connected to the bones at all, so that the taste of the staghorn vegetables that have become gelatin will not penetrate into the pork, let alone destroy the original taste of the pork!" ”

Tang Qi gave a thumbs up and said, "Connoisseur, the most difficult part of this dish is indeed the part of taking the bones, which is a very high test for the chef's knife skills!" ”

Wei Zifu asked with great interest, "Mr. Tang, can you give me the complete recipe for this dish?" I really want to learn! ”

Tang Qi smiled: "Of course you can, I wish I could train someone with similar cooking skills to me, so that I don't have to cook by myself in the future, just wait for dinner every day!" ”

"Then it's decided, I will be Mr. Tang's apprentice in the future, let's high-five and swear!"

After Wei Zifu finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his palm to Tang Qi.

It stands to reason that the apprentice should bow down.

But Wei Zifu is the queen, except for the emperor and the queen mother, he can't salute anyone else, otherwise it will be an insult to the royal majesty.

So I can only swear by a high-five.

Fortunately, Tang Qi was not so particular, and happily stretched out his right hand and slapped Wei Zifu with a high five.

This apprenticeship agreement is completed.

"Okay, now you know everything you should know, hurry up and eat elbows, this thing won't taste good when it's cold!"

Tang Qi urged while moving his chopsticks himself.

Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu hurriedly followed and ate.

……

At the same time, in a courtyard somewhere in Yexian County, a father and daughter were discussing nervously.

The father is the grandson of Zhuo Wang, the huge wealth of the Han Dynasty and the Zhuo family!

The Zhuo family has been smelting iron for a living for generations, and in the generation of Zhuo Wangsun, because Zhuo Wangsun is good at management, the Zhuo family's iron-smelting business has also expanded more and more, and he himself has become the richest man in the Han Dynasty.

And the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun is a famous beauty in history, Zhuo Wenjun!

Zhuo Wenjun is best known for the story of her meeting with Sima.

At that time, when Sima Xiangru was a guest at Zhuo's house, he happened to see Zhuo Wenjun's beauty and fell in love, so he played a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

conveyed the sound of love to Zhuo Wenjun.

It happened that Zhuo Wenjun also admired Sima Xiangru's talent and appearance, so he eloped with Sima Xiangru.

The two first spent a relatively difficult time in Chengdu, and then Sima Xiangru finally entered the court as an official, but he played the trick of a successful person, staying away from home all day long, and being merry outside.

Then Zhuo Wenjun made a song "Baitou Yin"!

Among them, "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated", has become a famous sentence through the ages.

Sima Xiangru also changed his mind because of this poem, gave up the merry and happy outside, and went home to accompany Zhuo Wenjun every day.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Zhuo Wenjun is a very smart and talented woman.

In fact, in addition to his beauty and talent, Zhuo Wenjun also has a very high business talent.

One-third of the Zhuo family's business is managed by Zhuo Wenjun.

When Zhuo Wangsun makes business decisions, he often asks Zhuo Wenjun's opinion.

Zhuo Wenjun can always put forward very constructive suggestions.

This time, Zhuo Wangsun and Zhuo Wenjun got together in Ye County, mainly because of a major event that would make the Zhuo family disappear in an instant.

"Father, Your Majesty was shipwrecked and disappeared when he went to sea, is it really true?"

Zhuo Wenjun asked Zhuo Wangsun with an extremely serious expression.

Zhuo Wangsun sighed and said: "Naturally, it is true, the Zhuo family who followed His Majesty to the sea has not sent a flying pigeon for five days!"

If there had been no shipwreck, they would have released a carrier pigeon every two days to deliver the news! ”

Zhuo Wenjun frowned and said: "Maybe it's because the pigeons don't adapt to the weather during the voyage, and it doesn't matter if they have any strange diseases and die collectively!" ”

Zhuo Wangsun nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, but the person I planted in the port also received news that Prime Minister Gongsun Hong had gathered nearly a hundred ships and went to sea!"

If Your Majesty had not been killed, Gongsun Hong should have been stationed in the port and handled the affairs of the world instead of His Majesty, instead of risking his life and entering the vast sea! ”
