Looking at the steaming white rice in front of him, as well as the crystal clear fish, Lu Zhe suddenly understood where the sushi in the island country came from in the future.

There is still a big difference between the Tang people eating cut meat and the sushi eating of the island people in later generations. The emphasis is on a bite of fish and a bite of rice, and the fish and rice are separated, unlike the sushi of the island country in later generations, where the fish and rice are kneaded together.

Moreover, the cutting method is also different from the sashimi of later Japan, and most of the sashimi of the Tang Dynasty are cut very thinly, not as thick as the sashimi of the island countries of later generations.

And according to different parts, the sashimi of the Tang Dynasty was cut into different shapes, and the belly of the fish with few fat and spines was cut into thin slices as thin as cicada wings, and gently picked up a slice, which was thin and translucent. The meat on the back is finely cut into shreds, mixed with the shallots in early spring, mixed and mixed well, although the meat at the tail of the fish has the most spines, but because of the most activity, it is also the most tender and most Q bomb part, it is carefully cut off by the dumpling (the chef's nickname) with a knife, chopped into small particles, mixed with orange sauce, and then placed in a jade bowl.

The same part is not nothing, that is, the seasoning, there are several kinds of seasoning for eating sashimi in the Tang Dynasty, but there must be a taste of mustard.

Bai Juyi has a poem, "Fish mustard sauce tune, water anflower salt soy floc." "It is said that the Tang Dynasty people ate the sauce used to eat sashimi, and the water anemone is the lettuce, there is no soy sauce at this time, but the people of the Tang Dynasty have already used salt to pickle beans to make simple tempeh, and it can be seen from Bai Letian's poems that the Tang people eat the seasoning of sashimi, which is mixed with mustard and tempeh and Ulva sauce to get a fresh and salty taste

Another common sauce is oranges. The so-called "clothes fragrant Chushan orange, hand fish Xiangbo fish." And the most exquisite in this sauce is the golden fish in the "golden jade fish", which is made with garlic, ginger, salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat, japonica rice, and pickled fish pounded into a sauce, which tastes sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and with the sashimi as thin as a cicada's wings, it also has a unique taste.

It can be seen that the cut meat of the Tang Dynasty is not known to be higher than the sushi and sashimi of the island countries in later generations.

After all, the island country was very poor and weak in ancient times, and it is already remarkable to be able to develop this simplified version of the cut.

While thinking so, Lu Zhe followed Yang Hongzhi's example, dipped the sashimi as thin as a cicada's wings in the sauce, and then gently put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, a unique flavor and fat aroma of fish burst in the mouth, and then the taste of the sauce, which stimulates the human mouth to secrete a large amount of saliva, and it is the combination of this heavy flavor sauce and the temperature in the human mouth, the sashimi as thin as cicada wings instantly becomes a half-cooked state in the mouth, not completely the taste of raw meat, the tender fish, more tender and delicious than the top steak of the later generations, unconsciously, the delicious fish has been eaten, and the mouth seems to have staged a symphony.

The white rice in the mouth is the cadenza of this symphony, the best white rice is put in the mouth, not only dilutes and neutralizes the taste of sashimi and sauce, but also the slightly hot rice, under the residual taste in the mouth, more and more highlight the sweetness of the rice and the fragrance of the grains itself, under the action of the heat of the rice, the residual fragrance of the fish is stimulated again, together with the rice, so that the symphony in the mouth has reached the climax again.

In addition, as the rice is swallowed, the remaining flavor in the previous mouth is emptied, and not only does it not affect the next tasting experience, but it also leaves a unique aroma of grains between the lips and teeth, and you can't help but look forward to the next encounter between the tip of the tongue and the chori.

Sure enough, the research of Chinese on eating has never been interrupted. Lu Zhe was amazed while eating.

The raw and cold fish fillet that is born in the water, which represents the "yin", and the hot rice that grows under the scorching sun and represents the "yang", also represents the balance of yin and yang, reflecting the ancients' pursuit of yin and yang balance and the idea of harmonizing Ding Nai.

I thought that in this Tang Dynasty, where there was a lack of seasonings, a lot of vegetables and vegetables, and no stir-frying, the food was far less exciting than that of the later generations, and Lu Zhe's cooking skills before were enough to beat most of the chefs in the world.

But at this time, Lu Zhe found that although the materials in ancient times were not as abundant as those in later generations, the dishes cooked with the top and freshest ingredients were still not inferior to the level of later chefs.

In later generations, many Chinese people thought that Western food was exquisite and top-notch, and regarded it as a symbol of luxury, but the real situation is that the real top-notch Chinese food is so extravagant that ordinary people can't imagine it at all......

After all, it is puzzling if nothing is true that the only civilization in the world that has survived for thousands of years and is still thriving so much for its ingenuity and sophistication.

Although it is a gentleman's rule to eat and sleep, this rule does not apply in a place like a banquet where mutual exchange and temptation are met. A few jokes from Lu Zhe had already made the ancients laugh so much that they couldn't straighten their waists, so he also restrained a little at this time, and just talked to Yang Hongzhi opposite about some interesting stories and strange things in the world.

The aristocratic Tan Xuan, among the Tang family who boasted that they had inherited the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, occupied a large market, and Lu Zhe was an immortal disciple, so he naturally couldn't run away in this regard. Fortunately, Lu Zhe is extremely grateful to his parents who locked himself at home when he was a child, did not let him watch TV and did not let him go out, thanks to the strict discipline of his dual-income parents, he was locked up at home for a long time when he was a child, and he read a lot of idle books, such as Taiping Guangji, Youyang Miscellaneous, Picking Up Notes, Mirror Flower Yuan, Three Words and Two Shots, Talking about Strange Tales and Reading Wei Caotang Notes, etc.

So, he picked up some of these short stories of gods, ghosts, fairies and demons at random, and told them in detail during the banquet, which made everyone amazed, and admired this immortal disciple even more.

Although Lu Zhe's eloquence is average, these stories were so attractive to everyone in the Tang Dynasty, which lacked entertainment, that Yang Hongzhi and others stopped eating, and even the maids around him listened attentively and forgot to add wine to Lu Zhe.

"The virtuous brother has an adventure, but it makes the foolish brother envious." Listening to such true stories, as if the gods, ghosts, demons and foxes in it were all in front of him, Yang Hongzhi showed a yearning look at the right time.

In his opinion, this Xiao Langjun met an immortal in his dream, but it is true, otherwise these world anecdotes still have an understanding of the world's customs, don't say that an eleven or twelve-year-old Xiao Lang is a scholar who has been studying for many years, and he may not have his breadth of knowledge.

"Zhe also doesn't know the truth or falsehood in his dream, Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false." Lu Zhe sighed and took a sip of wine.

Lu Zhe sighed sincerely, because as he lived in Datang for longer and longer, he couldn't tell which one was himself? Is it the small and middle-level state-owned enterprises who are running around for housing loans all day in the future, or a teenager in Datang Shanmen, will he open his eyes in the next moment, and next to his mobile phone, this time in Datang is just a dream of his own yellow sorghum.

"Shanshui Lang doesn't have to mind, the world has this situation, it is a great blessing. Jin Shan is very envious of Shanshuilang, who can encounter so many strange things in his dreams and go to so many places. "On the most honorable throne, Princess Jinshan, who has only listened to and has not spoken, spoke faintly at this time, and seemed to be a little depressed.

Although the princess opened her mouth quietly, the atmosphere suddenly became dull, Yang Hongzhi was very eye-catching, and he clapped his hands lightly, and after a while, the voice of silk and bamboo remembered, and a team of dancers slowly entered and danced the dance of the green waist.

Appreciating music, singing and dancing is also a compulsory course for the ancient scholars, and it is not good to talk much at this time, so the three of them were silent, looking at the slender dancer in front of them, dancing in the hall.

In the light song and dance, Lu Zhe saw that on the table opposite Princess Jinshan, some mutton was eaten, and the sashimi was almost unmoved, and he understood that this was because of her physical weakness, and remembered that this little princess was just about the same age as herself, or even smaller than herself, soft and weak, I don't know why, it reminded him of the time when he had just crossed over, and saw Yun Niang's situation, plus Princess Jinshan invited herself to dinner and gifts today, and showed self-harm in her words. It seems that this little-known little princess is not doing very well in the palace full of turmoil.

Should I do something to make this little princess happy? Lu Zhe looked at the field and suddenly had an idea.

There is, that's it, it's a little gift to this little princess.

So, Lu Zhe made up his mind and asked the maid beside him to pour wine, and then raised his glass at the master's house.

This action, in the subtle and complicated social etiquette system of the scholars, is an expression that he has something to say, so Yang Hongzhi high-fived again, and the singing and dancing in the hall came to an abrupt end.

"Brother Hong, Her Royal Highness the Princess, today's feast is for joy, thanks to the proprietor's kindness, and Zhe also has something to help him rejoice."

Lu Zhe held the bronze wine cup and looked at everyone in the audience with a smile.

"Oh?" Yang Hongzhi's slender eyebrows were raised, revealing a curious look.

"I don't know what it is?"

"Let's borrow it from the kitchen of the house, and you'll know in a moment!" Lu Zhe looked at the mutton in Dingzhong and showed a playful look.

At this time, not only Yang Hongzhi, but everyone in the field, including Princess Jinshan under the veil, showed a look of surprise on their faces.
