Chapter 157: Two Female Fish Head Pot

The gentleman is far away from cooking. This is the consensus of all people in the upper echelons of Confucianism for thousands of years.

How can a cook, a lowly businessman, a gentleman do it?

In today's aristocratic discourse system, where Confucianism dominates, it is simply unimaginable for a scholar or a scholar to be a quasi-scholar to go to the kitchen, in this society. Not to mention the famous Shanshui Lang, he is an ordinary peddler and pawn, and he can't go to the kitchen. Even if you are a cook, you can't cook when you go home, you will leave it to your aunt or your wife.

Therefore, when they heard Lu Zhe say that he wanted to borrow the kitchen, everyone looked at him with extremely frightened eyes, as if they had seen UFOs in the daytime.

"The foolish brother is stupid, and since he can get the oral transmission of the virtuous brother today, it must also be the blessing of his previous life. Why don't you call it here and thank Xiao Langjun for his generous gift? Yang Hongzhi spoke at the right time, and the second half of the sentence was said to the maid beside him.

This is to go down the stairs again, the scholars try some new dishes in the banquet, and the whims of the cook to make them, although it is very rare but no, the scholars who do such an act, a dissatisfied with the host's arrangement and the reputation of gluttony can not run, and the host of the banquet is also suspected of poor hospitality.

However, the scholars love food, can they be called gluttonous? It's just an innocuous anecdote.

For example, the most popular goose roast in Chang'an is the one that Yongan County came up with temporarily in Cui Jialangjun's banquet, but it was unexpectedly popular throughout Chang'an.

But Yang Hongzhi faintly felt that what Xiao Langjun said about borrowing the kitchen was not for the chef to do, and it was very likely that he wanted to make such a faux pas as cooking himself.

Because he had already learned through Yang Hongyi's letter and the intelligence sources at home that the Shanshui Lang in front of him seemed to be very good at the art of changing teeth, but the kitchen was a cheap business after all, and spreading it would damage his family's reputation.

The guests he invited actually entered the kitchen in person, and there was a princess present, if he knew the inside story, he also said that this Shanshui Lang was young and absurd, and he had good sex and food, which did not know, and thought that the Yang family did not know how to entertain, and even let the guests personally enter the pickled kitchen.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Lu Zhe knew that the matter of the traveler cooking in person was not like what was described in the crossing, as long as you conquer the other party with glowing food, others will look at you differently. It all depends on who you are.

After all, celebrities are called anecdotes when they are stupid, and ordinary people are really stupid when they are stupid. If he crosses over to a child of a big family, the matter of cooking in person is at most like Lu Jihuai, which is a small one in the new language of the world, but unfortunately he doesn't even have the identity of a scholar, if he enters the kitchen at this time, he can only ruin the road to the scholar clan that he has not yet started.

However, there is a good saying, many times, the same thing, with a different packaging, gives people a completely different feeling.

Lu Zhe, who knew this very well, looked at the trembling chef in front of him, the cook who couldn't stand on the ground, there was no way to fly quickly, the fish fillet was like snow, and there was only fear and nervousness for the unknown in his eyes.

"What Zhe said, I'm afraid it's difficult to make it by this person, or it's better to do it in person."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of fairy delicacies are so difficult for ordinary people to make? "Sure enough, you just want to make a dish that you learned in your dreams, Yang Hongzhi thought steadily, he had to elevate what Lu Zhe was going to do next to the level of what the immortals ate, so that his guests' cooking behavior would not be so rude.

"The things made by the philosopher are not delicacies, but medicines. Fang Cai Zhe saw that the princess did not eat much, presumably because of a serious illness that had not yet recovered, and he was not allowed to eat more raw and cold things. Lu Zhe said with a smile.

I see, Yang Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, why didn't he remember, it turned out that the medicine was also in the kitchen, I said that this Shanshui Lang would not take his identity lightly, and he did that cooking, it turned out to be boiling medicine, which was also in line with his identity.

Thinking of why this Jinshan princess wanted to feast this Shanshui Lang today, and the reason why he contacted him today, Yang Hongzhi couldn't help but feel relieved.

Didn't he just be entrusted by the noble man in the palace to see how this young immortal disciple who saved the life of Princess Jinshan and was highly respected by King Sun Yao? After all, this Shanshui Lang was going to treat the most noble person in the world, and the Xuanjia Lieutenant's description of him described him as a young man, so the one in the palace entrusted the Yang family, who has been a descendant for a hundred years, to see the quality of this Shanshui Lang.

It turned out that this young man still had that number in his heart, and Yang Hongzhi said with a smile: "Doesn't the virtuous brother want to make medicine?" I don't know what medicine to use, there are still some medicinal materials in the Han family, but I'm afraid they are not complete. ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, Zhe just needs a few ingredients for the extremely common medicine." Lu Zhe said with a smile.

"Oh? Could it be that the virtuous brother wants to use dietary therapy? "After all, can't you escape the cook? You love cooking so much? Yang Hong's heart is quite complaining.

"That's right, food can expel evil and calm the viscera, and the joy and happiness will be used to enrich the qi and blood, and if you want to treat, you must first use food therapy; The princess is weak, and the power of the medicine stone is difficult to bear. Lu Zhe nodded, looking like I was an expert.

"Oh, this diet has such a miraculous effect?" Yang Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and the concept of dietary therapy began to be put forward in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whether it was Ge Hongxian's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" or the Southern Dynasty Physician's "Dietary Therapy Heart", many prescriptions were introduced in detail, so in the Tang Dynasty, dietary therapy was considered a treatment method, although it was not considered the mainstream.

"If you can use food to calm the scabies, the person who is suitable for the epidemic can be described as a good work, a strange method of baiting the old for many years, and a very healthy technique." Lu Zhe said as he heard the words immortality, strange law, and health preservation technique, Yang Hongzhi's eyes brightened, and he thought to himself, this is not from the dream of the immortals, if this is the case, he will have to ask people to find a medical worker to study this dietary therapy method well, and come up with a practical daily health recipe!

"That is the case, and ask the virtuous brother to show his skill, so that the foolish brother can open his eyes. All the servants and all the servants in the house are used by the virtuous brothers. Yang Hongzhi said happily.

"Then the foolish brother will trespass." Lu Zhe first saluted Yang Hongzhi, and then saluted Princess Jinshan, and then called the cook who was kneeling on the ground trembling, asked him to bring the remaining perch, and called a maid to go to the kitchen together.

The family is worthy of being a family, and before Lu Zheren arrived in the kitchen, a servant had already gone over to arrange everything. In order to prevent the kitchen from staining the feet of the nobles, the kitchen floor was covered with a layer of white sand, and a barrier was installed on the way through the hall to the kitchen.

Moreover, when Lu Zhe arrived in the kitchen, the old mothers and the fat-headed chefs who worked in the kitchen were gone, and in their place were a group of young and beautiful maids who were proficient in cooking.

The heritage of the family can be seen in general.

The Shi clan is the Shi clan, even if it is a whim in the kitchen, it is different from the ordinary people. Lu Zhe looked at the group of young ladies in front of him who were wearing full-breasted skirts and showing a pair of white lotus arms in order to facilitate their work, not only sighed at the luxury and absurdity of the ancient feudal aristocracy.

You must know that as the maids of the Yang family, their figures and appearances are all middle-class choices, and because they have to work, they all take off their long-sleeved tops outside, and only wear full-breasted skirts, which are the same as the bandeau dresses of later generations. A piece of white flowers appeared on his chest, and Lu Zhe's eyes were glazed.

"The concubine has seen a nobleman!" Seeing Lu Zhe come in, the maids blessed in unison, if it weren't for Lu Zhe being a child, seeing a room of young ladies with open ditches, I was afraid that there would be a long nosebleed.

Seeing that the working environment was so good, Lu Zhe was not polite, and immediately commanded these young ladies to do things. First of all, he asked the chef with good knife skills to take the head of the sea bass in the hall, cut it in two, carefully wash the blood and the gills of the fish and set it aside.

Then, Lu Zhe asked a maid to start the fire, and then asked another maid to prepare green onions, ginger and garlic plus cleaning lettuce, and then asked people to go to the Chinese medicine warehouse in the house to get some medicinal herbs.

Although there was no woks in Yang's mansion at this time, there were still general cooking pots, so Lu Zhe used the cooking pot to put a piece of snow-white unknown animal oil into the pot, and when the oil melted and boiled slightly, Lu Zhe put the chopped onions, ginger, garlic and fish heads into the pot together, and began to fry them skillfully.

That's right, what Lu Zhe wants to do is a fish head medicinal pot, the full name is Erhen fish head pot. Because the Tang Dynasty did not have the technology of stir-frying and the Tang people did not eat fish heads, everyone was shocked when they watched Lu Zhe's operation.

After all, in fish head soup, the frying of fish head is an important step for the milk to be milky and force out the fresh fragrance (lard in fish head soup will be more fragrant and milky, you can try it).

It is said that the fish and sheep are fresh, the fish and sheep are fresh, and after the fish head is fried on both sides, Lu Zhe asked people to take the broth of the lamb before cooking, and added it to the pot, the milky white mutton soup met the fish head in the pot, at this time, a strange smell that made the fingers move filled the entire kitchen, and everyone was involuntarily sniffing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the cooking technology is still very backward, not only there is no stir-frying, there is no later generations of chefs hanging soup technology, all say that a good chef is a pot of soup, the chef of the Tang Dynasty has no way to use the hanging soup to hang out the Ming and Qing Dynasty chefs can hang the soup of monosodium glutamate, all the umami depends on the ingredients themselves, such as taking the top sea bass and the lamb in the sheep womb in general, the rich and fresh fragrance created by Lu Zhe's advanced technique is naturally regarded as a miracle.

However, there is a sentence to say, the people of the Tang Dynasty have a good trick for others to do things, even if they see it, they know how to do it, and they don't dare to use it for their own use without the permission of the other party. In other words, they will never plagiarize the intellectual property rights of the other party.

Of course, Lu Zhe's identity as a quasi-scholar is also very big.

Waiting for the soup in the pot to boil, Lu Zhe looked down and sighed again that the fire lady s blowtorch was really white, no, it was really big. Let the young lady who burns the fire weaken the fire a little, and at this time, add the washed lettuce.

Two female fish head pot, the so-called two mothers are the mother of pearl and the mother, the accessories are bupleurum and almonds, Lu Zhe put the sliced medicinal materials into a gauze bag, tied them and threw them into the pot.

After adding some salt, let the young lady watch the fire, and the pot will be raised in two quarters of an hour.

Just the fish head and lettuce, there is no content how can it work. Lu Zhe then asked the cook to knead the dough to make soup cakes, and instructed him to take out the gauze bag when the soup was about to be ready, and then put the soup cakes into the cooking and seasoning.

The soup cake of the Tang Dynasty, a bit like the trouser belt noodles of later generations, really resembles the dough and put it into the soup to cook, remembering that the princess must have eaten exquisitely on weekdays, how to eat this kind of soup cake eaten by civilians, so he asked the cook to knead the dough, add eggs, salt and lard, and then cut the finished soup cake into shreds, a bit similar to the finely cut egg noodles of later generations,

For Lu Zhe's orders, the cook naturally obeyed everything and promised slightly. After ordering all this, and sighing again that the fire stick of the young lady who was burning the fire was big and white, Lu Zhe left the kitchen and returned to the hall.

After going back, several people talked and laughed for a while, and after a while, a servant served three bowls of medicinal food made by Lu Zhe.

The jade bowl contains a milky white soup, dark green lettuce and golden noodles mixed in it, and the chives are finely sprinkled on top, and the medicinal aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs is mixed with the aroma of vegetables and fish meat, and the fragrance is so fragrant that even the whole hall is filled with a fragrance.

"Princess, let's try the medicinal food of Zhezhi." Looking at the noodles in the small bowl in front of him, Lu Zhe also moved his index finger, after all, it was for the princess, so he said to the princess.

"The gentleman is gracious, and the gold mountain is ashamed." Under the veil came the soft voice of Jin Shan again, followed by the sound of sipping soup.

"Brother Xian's medicinal food is so tempting, and Brother Fool is also salivating." Before the words fell, Yang Hongzhi picked up a basket of noodles and sucked it into his mouth.

"There is so delicious in the world!" Yang Hongzhi quickly exclaimed, and then, Yang Hongzhi stopped talking and silently accelerated to eat.

"Huh." Looking at the reactions of the two diners, Lu Zhe was also quite satisfied, looking at the medicinal food in front of him, he didn't say much, and tasted it with his heart.
