Chapter 112: Desperate
can't stop it, get rid of this poetry club, Wang Xifeng has done a great job!
Clean and neat, she was about to pull Qin Zhen away and talk about the two of them in their own considerate words.
But Qin Zhen's original meaning was to show his talent in front of all the beauties in the Grand View Garden, and now, there is no way.
Xue Baochai and them, if they can't see his talent, how can they break their hearts for him? If you can't get it, just turn off the lights for him one by one.
This is not good.
But it's not good to stay, let's leave with Wang Xifeng first!
Perhaps, it is also a good idea to divide and break.
First take down Wang Xifeng, who can speak in the Grand View Garden, and the others can slowly occupy it!
Since you can't catch it all at once, let's break it individually. Qin Zhen can only settle for the next best thing now
And how did Qin Zhen prepare for this dinner?
He had put a lot of thought into it!
There are no materials, so he wants to make something novel and make it for everyone's eyes.
For example, hot pot dishes, barbecue and so on.
Some people say that hot pot has appeared very early, but it may not be.
Because in ancient times, before the Song Dynasty, it was basically cooked, and there was no stir-frying. So in this way, is it true that in ancient times, people ate hot pot in their lives?
Hot pot and cooking are two completely different concepts.
The focus of hot pot is on the ingredients, as well as the freshly eaten food. This is different from cooking. I boil it and can eat it later.
As for the barbecue, you don't need a pot directly. This history is even longer. In the beginning, the ancients should have eaten like this.
But Xue Baochai and the others probably rarely eat like this and hold a banquet!
Because, they have become civilized.
So, the older something is, the fresher it is.
Qin Zhen just wants to play new tricks on these two points.
Actually, this doesn't require much thought. The progress of civilization has probably made these women forget the life of their ancestors Ru Mao drinking blood.
At this time, Qin Zhen returned to the basics, maybe he could even cause Xue Baochai and them to be surprised!
Moreover, although it is the same barbecue, the methods and methods are very different. After strict research, the flavor of the barbecue has increased much compared to the original time.
This is the same as the ancient people's shelf, barbecue and eat, can it be the same?
Whether it's barbecue or hot pot, ingredients are the top priority. The staple foods are those kinds, no matter how you change them, it's not those?
But the ratio of condiments is ever-changing, and there are different combinations.
In this way, the flavor of the food is different.
And sometimes the people who eat together are different and the way is different, which naturally makes people feel very different.
Eating is also a kind of atmosphere, but it is not as simple as eating a feast.
When Qin Zhen was preparing with Diao Chan before, he asked her to go to the treasury and take out all the food and condiments they could. Fennel, star anise, shallots, garlic, ginger, pepper, peppercorns. There are also cooking oils, salt cubes, etc.
There is no soy sauce, although there is soy sauce in ancient China, but it is completely different from the soy sauce made in modern industry. It's just a color spice made by steaming beans and going through a simple process.
Of course, it's okay to say that this is soy sauce. Moreover, it does play a role in soy sauce.
And if you really want to talk about it, this kind of soy sauce is actually more fragrant and tastes better than modern soy sauce.
Qin Zhen asked Diao Chan and Xiao Zhao to prepare these condiments with him.
When doing things with Qin Zhen, watching Qin Zhen peel garlic and chop onions with them, scrape the skin and ginger, Diao Chan was a little dazed. Would Zhen Guogong do such a thing?
"If you explain these things to us, we will do them well for the Guogong, and we really don't have to do it himself."
Xiao Zhao was also a little restrained, so she said to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen said: "I know that you are very diligent and will not be lazy. But I'm afraid you're not doing a good enough job. I don't worry about you. ”
Not all women are good cooks, Qin Zhen thinks that Xiao Zhao and Diao Chan are really not the most suitable people to do this. So he's hands-on.
Xiao Zhao was just afraid that Qin Zhen would blame them for doing less work, so he trembled. At this time, seeing that Qin Zhen insisted on doing it herself, she naturally didn't say anything more.
And this grandfather, Xiao Zhao didn't know that there was such a title in the court before, but I heard that this is a big official comparable to a prince.
A person with such a noble status, but with them, in this condiment of sorting food, Xiao Zhao thinks that this princely prince is really good.
She had never met such a noble person before, and she was so approachable to people and things. This made her have a strange feeling for Qin Zhen. I feel that Qin Zhen is really different from others.
"What else do we have in our storeroom?"
Qin Zhen asked Xiao Zhao again, their family background in the Zhenguo Mansion. For this feast, they will bring out good things to entertain the guests.
Xiao Zhao said: "There is only a leg of mutton, a piece of beef, and a few catties of rice noodles."
"It's just such a thing, we are the princes of the country!"
Qin Zhen was surprised by the lack of material.
Xiao Zhao said cautiously: "But we only allocated such a little. Moreover, I heard that the distribution will be even less next month. ”
At this time, the supply of food for the DPRK and China will be distributed in an overall manner. Because no one has enough material supplies.
It's just such a thing, how can you have a feast?
"Take them all, use them all at once."
Qin Zhen said.
"But if you use it up all at once this time, Grandpa Guo won't have anything to eat in the future."
Xiao Zhao said with some concern.
Qin Zhen asked, "Then what do you usually eat?"
Xiao Zhao said: "We usually go to dig some wild food to survive."
At the end of the Han Dynasty, many high-ranking officials and nobles often starved to death, and it was not surprising that the subordinates of the official family also had to dig wild vegetables to survive.
These things in Qin Zhen's treasury are actually mainly for him alone.
Although Xiao Zhao and the others also have some supplies, they are very small.
In fact, in addition to having no wages for their work, they still have to earn their own food!
Of course, this is an extraordinary time, and if the country is on the right track, their treatment will not be like this.
And at this time, the whole country is poor, and of course they are not treated very well as the servants and subordinates of the noble officials' mansions.
"Regardless of him, use up all these things at hand first, and talk about the future later."
Qin Zhendao.
