Chapter 108: First Food, Natural Dwelling

"A few Lang Jun, but do you think this pair is a little gaudy?" Dingming looked at Lu Zhuoyu's expression and seemed to guess his inner thoughts.

"I don't dare, but Lu has also read the poems of this Shanshui Lang, all of which are spacious and elegant, ethereal, not like the sentences of the world, why is the connection here so plain, contrary to the style of Shanshui Lang." Although Lu Zhuoyu didn't even dare to say it, he still expressed his doubts.

"On the same day, the old monk also asked Master Lu about this." The great monk Dingming showed a look of indulgence, "On that day, Master Lu pointed to an old plum tree in the backyard, and said in his mouth, 'In the wine, the fairy meets the flowers, although the elegance cannot be separated from the vulgar', and the clouds, uneven and polymorphic, the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, and it is the origin of the world." The old monk was still unclear that day, until one day, when he saw the natural situation in the middle, Fang Jue was right. Dingming said convincingly.

"Shanshui Lang really deserves to be a disciple of the immortals, with a few words, he knows all the things in the world, and he can't say it unless he sees through the world." Lu Zhuoyu and his entourage tasted it carefully, and the more they tasted it, the more they felt that it was meaningful. Of course, they also think that these words are not something that Lu Zhe can say as a child, but they are more and more convinced of Lu Zhe's learning from immortals.

"I don't know what the master saw that led to the improvement of the Dao?" Seeing that this Dingming monk, who looked like a military general more than a monk, Lu Zhuoyu, who knew Dingming's roots, was not only a little curious.

After a quarter of an hour, several Lang Jun could see the difference. A few Lang Jun should go up to the second floor first. Dingming looked mysterious, guided the three of them, and walked to the second floor.

"Not busy, not busy, since it can be seen in a quarter of an hour, it doesn't hurt to see it in person." Lu Zhuoyu watched his servant come from outside the door with something, and suddenly had a plan.

"That's what I mean." Although Yang Hongyi knew Dingming and Lu Zhe in the Tongjun Mansion, he didn't know about such things yet, and he was also a little curious.

The servants of the Lu family who had just been sent by Lu Zhuoyu to buy food had already returned, so Lu Zhuoyu didn't mind sitting in the lobby and waiting a little longer, and by the way, tasting the fragrant food.

The Lu family is worthy of being one of the top scholars of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is light and simple, it is not comparable to ordinary scholars. I saw that the servants of the Lu family first carefully wiped the table of the natural residence over and over again, and then took out a complete set of fine porcelain high white tableware, spoons, and silver chopsticks, all of which were placed on the table. "Step aside and stand with your hands down.

If Lu Zhe was here, seeing such a scene, he would definitely laugh. Under such a big pomp, what was placed in front of the three of them was a popular food in later generations.

Placed on a plate as white as jade, it is three meat buns! There was also a pot of wine with the words "Dregs" written on it.

Yes, when Lu Zhe was determining the positioning of the natural residence, although he took the route of artificial Internet celebrity attractions, he was still unwilling to lose the small handicraftsmen and small businessmen in the town, so the meat sandwich bun came into being.

Lu Zhe is a chicken thief, because of the bad liquor he produces, the lees not only don't cost money, but also collect money, so he adopted the concept of the package in later generations, a meat sandwich bun with two taels of bad liquor, selling for eight yuan, if you add another egg, it will cost ten yuan. This price is not cheap for the town's artisans, but it is still popular with the town's artisans, and some even come to buy it every day or two.

You know, in the Zhenguan period, the rice five coins, the later even to the point of two rice dollars, and the Tang Dynasty was extremely short of copper, the folk often out of the "short Mo" situation, that is, the consistent money is usually only eight or nine hundred copper coins, but it is still used as consistent money, so at this time, the purchasing power of a penny is still very high, and a penny at this time is about equal to three five to four yuan in later generations. The cheapest set meal of Lu Zhe's meat sandwich bun is Bawen, which is almost equivalent to twenty or thirty yuan, which is equivalent to the price of foreign fast food in later generations.

For stonemasons and other craftsmen with a large amount of labor, a small bowl of wine, after drinking, can achieve the effect of drinking one or two catties of general village wine, and two catties of village wine, it will cost almost 5 Wen, not to mention the meat full of oil and water and the flax cake that relieves satiety? Therefore, they all think that the meat sandwich bun is cost-effective, and often come to make tooth sacrifices.

The meat in the meat sandwich bun is mixed with pork and pig offal, and occasionally a little fish and mutton are added. In this era, there is no habit of castrating animals, and the comparison of pork is more than mutton, and it is also thin, and there is no oil and water.

Fortunately, Lu Zhe has a large amount of bad liquor, plus ginger and garlic, etc., it is not a problem to remove the fishy at all, and the taste of the marinade is also extremely strong, with a slight smell, and it is impossible to eat it at all.

Lu Zhe was a foodie in his previous life, and Dingming also knew traditional Chinese medicine, plus Mu's could supply a large amount of refined salt, so Lu Zhe carefully recalled the recipe of braised meat in later generations, and made a simplified version to Dingming, and Dingming was also powerful, it only took three times to make a brine with a similar taste as the later generations, and in order to appetize, Lu Zhe's recipe even let Dingming add a little dogwood in an appropriate amount, so that the brine has a spicy taste, although the dogwood has a bit of bitterness, but in the rich flavor of the brine, it has also been covered up.

As for why it is a simplified version, it is because cardamom used as a spice is too expensive, and ordinary medicinal materials such as star anise and cloves are fine, but cardamom is indeed an extremely expensive spice in this era, so Lu Zhe is also simple. However, this taste is enough to make the people of Rock Town, whose seasoning is only coarse salt, swallow it with their tongues. (By the way, the ancients called girls mature into cardamom years, not because cardamom looks beautiful, but because cardamom is a thing, eh...... It's very vivid, symbolizing maturity, and I can only say ..... here, and then I'll drive, and if you're interested, you can go to Du Niang to make a picture of cardamom ripe).

Among them, the bun is adapted from the so-called flax cake. The flax cakes of the Tang Dynasty tasted similar to the naan of later generations, which were extremely hard, and the Tang people used ropes to wear them as dry food. But Lu Zhe watched a food show in his later life, so that Dingming added animal fat when he made the noodles, and the baked buns were slightly crispy, stuffed with steaming braised meat, and took a big bite with a big bite, the full gravy mixed with the crispy buns, the rich fragrance bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and the mouth was full of the satisfaction of eating meat and white noodles.

High oil, high salt, and spirits, for the people at the bottom, this is the taste of happiness.

Therefore, the craftsmen in the town, if they make a small profit today or their families are hungry, they will come to the natural house, buy a meat sandwich bun set, and eat a delicious meal. The craftsmen eat extremely boldly, usually eat half of the bun in two bites, and then stuff the small half bowl of bad liquor, feel the heat from the root of the tongue and throat all the way to the stomach, with the meat bun just swallowed, until the green tendons are exposed to sweat on the face, after relieving, pick up the remaining meat bun that has not yet cooled, gobble up and eat, and then with a sense of ritual, drink the rest of the wine, feel the dizziness of the wine upwell, and then get up and burp two big buns, look so hearty.

Of course, as the three family gentlemen who are not short of meat and salt, they must not eat like this, Cui Yang and the two have already eaten it, took a hasty bite, felt the rich taste inside, and then put it down and rewarded it to their own servants.

Only this Lu Zhuoyu, after first asking the servant to divide it into small portions with a silver hand relief knife, he took a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up at once, and then he ate several pieces.

"This thing is very beautiful, why don't you use it more of the two brothers." Finally, after eating the third piece, Lu Zhuoyu found that the two opposite sides didn't eat much, but took a bite and rewarded it to the servant.

"Although this thing tastes beautiful, Yang ate it for the first time, and he ate the whole thing alone, but for the food on the second floor of the natural residence, it is nothing more than that." Seeing that Lu Zhuoyu was a little uncomfortable, Yang Hongyi hurriedly played a round.

"Oh? The food on the second floor of the natural residence is so delicious, and the clumsy jade is blessed today. Lu Zhuoyu looked at the second floor, showing an expectant look.
