"Please, please!" Hong Tao's mouth is also a little stupid now, and for him, this high-level banquet of the Great Song Dynasty is also a bit informative. Although he figured out the name of the tableware, he still hadn't figured out what the dish was on the table and how to eat it. The glass of wine in the glass was pale green, and he didn't know what it tasted like, and his brain was all used in these places, and he didn't care about playing tricks at all.

A glass of wine in the stomach, Hong Tao has a bit of a spectrum in his heart, the wine is good, whether it is rice wine Hong Tao is not clear, sweet and sour, the degree is very, very low, it is estimated to be about the same as the dry red wine in later generations, I am afraid it is lower. If you follow this degree, it is absolutely no problem to drink two or three catties by yourself, and the problem of drunkenness can not be considered, and now the key problem is this dish!

"This is a lamb tart, which is taken from the tender lamb, cut into thin slices, and soaked in fine wine. This is the sauce, this is the sour plum juice, both can be dipped in. If Brother Hong likes honey, take it! Luo Youde didn't wait for Hong Tao to ask this time, he could see that Hong Tao didn't seem to be familiar with the food of the Great Song Dynasty, which confirmed Hong Tao's statement that he came from overseas. Luo Youde, a native of all countries in the south, has seen it, and the first time he invited them to the boat for dinner, they were also this virtue, and it was difficult to pretend to be it.

"No, no, no, the sauce is very good...... Hong Tao understood, this is raw mutton slices, he doesn't care about eating raw meat, but he eats it with raw meat dipped in honey, and he gets tired of thinking about it, so forget it.

I had just eaten two bites of the first course, and the second course was served again. This time Hong Tao seems to know, isn't this a facelift? I tried a few sticks, it was indeed a bit similar, but the taste was a little fishy, the entrance was very chewy, and it didn't look like vermicelli.

"Hehehe...... Brother Hong should have a deep relationship with this dish! It's made from the shark skin you killed, and it's called shark skin. Dumplings are also made from wheat flour and rice flour. Luo Youde began to introduce again, this meal is tiring, but it is also quite interesting, and the two of them will discuss each other with each dish.

So what exactly is this gluttony? Hong Tao feels that it is not only like a facelift, but also like a pho, or a dough sheet. In fact, this kind of food is made of different materials, and there are several pasta dishes in later generations that are very similar to glutinous food, such as cat ears and canton. In addition, there is a true legend of the Song Dynasty dumplings in Japan, and it is said that there is a restaurant in Yamanashi Prefecture that sells dumplings with four Chinese characters written on the signboard: 馎饦 do not move!

However, using shark skin to make dumplings is the highest grade, and the shark was not easy to catch in the Song Dynasty, and even the Tan family hid when they saw the shark, so it was rare and expensive. In fact, this sharkskin dumpling has no taste at all, and it is no different from pink skin, but it looks crystal clear and better.

After eating these two dishes for a while, the change came again, Ah Cai helped Luo Youde and Hong Tao pour full of wine, and then three or four maids came up to Hulala, and all the two silver plates in front of the three people were removed, and then a few more people came up, and a brand new dish was set up in front of the three of them again. Hong Tao eats here, he understands everything, and the cost-effective Nima Western food was invented by the people of the Great Song Dynasty! Isn't this the main dish served after the appetizer is eaten, and it is also a separate meal system, so what is the difference between it and Western food? I'm afraid it's even more elaborate than Western food in the 18th century.

I just don't know when this way of eating was introduced to Europe, and then they inherited and carried it forward. As for the Song Dynasty, a dynasty that was destroyed, who wants to say that we learned from it, it's too frustrating. Whether Hong Tao's point of view is right or not, who knows, anyway, Hong Tao believes it, and he wants the world to remember the Song Dynasty, and it is best to never forget it! That's it, Western food is Chinese!

Hong Tao's point of view is actually a bit reliable, but there is no distinction between the first dish and the main course at the banquet of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many more dishes than Western food. How much? Several times more to more than ten! According to Luo Youde's introduction, this banquet is a total of twelve dishes, these twelve dishes are served according to the speed of drinking, two dishes in a glass of wine, and after drinking six glasses of wine, the main dishes of this banquet are all finished.

The specifications of a glass of wine and two dishes are considered mid-range in the Great Song Dynasty, because it is on a sea boat, and the variety of dishes is limited, so Luo Youde is very ashamed to say to Hong Tao that he can only invite Hong Tao to eat some mid-range first, and after arriving in Zhenzhou, he will invite Hong Tao to go to the best local restaurant to have a high-end banquet with a glass of wine and three dishes. As for whether there is a four-course banquet with a glass of wine, there is! But no one dared to eat it, because it was used by the emperor to entertain foreign envoys, and the people were not allowed to cross it.

These twelve dishes are not all stir-fried, there are steamed, boiled, stir-fried and stewed, meat and vegetarian dishes and staple foods. Speaking of this staple food, it made Hong Tao awkward for a long time. Because the names of several foods in the Song Dynasty were not only different from those of later generations, but also a bit chaotic. For example, steamed buns, which were called cooking cakes in the Song Dynasty; So what are the buns of the Song Dynasty called? The buns of the Song Dynasty are called steamed buns! There are meat steamed buns and vegetarian steamed buns. This habit still exists in later generations, and some people in Wenzhou call steamed buns steamed buns, and steamed buns are called solid steamed buns, which is probably a habit handed down from the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the meal was eaten and the wine was drunk, the feast was not over, and at the moment more people came in from outside, some of them took down the dishes, and some of them brought a pile of silver plates with all kinds of fruits in them. That's right, there are fruit bowls at the wine banquet of the Song Dynasty, and the variety is very rich, Hong Tao counted, there can be six or seven kinds, both tropical fruits, and temperate fruits, oranges, bananas, melons, plums, loquats, lychees, pears, and peaches. Hong Tao tried to discuss with Luo Youde about the fruits of the Song Dynasty, and then found that there were no apples or pineapples in the Song Dynasty. There are watermelons, but the time and quantity of planting in the Jiangnan area are not too much, and they have a history of more than ten years, and they are still watermelon seeds brought back when an official went to Jinguo on a business trip.

While eating the fruit plate, a few women played and sang in the house, although they were not members of the Tan family, but Hong Tao could still only understand less than half of what they sang. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you can understand it or not, Hong Tao evaluates women, only using eyes and ears, and it basically doesn't matter to him whether the voice is good or bad. Whether it is these maids or singers, their appearance can only give 60 points in Hong Tao's eyes, and they have just passed. It's not that Hong Tao's vision is too high, it's that they are too thin, like malnourished fifteen-year-old girls, and their whole bodies have not grown. Hong Tao's requirements for women's bodies are greater than their faces, so it is already very reluctant to give them 60 points, he only glanced at them a few times at the beginning, and then he never looked at them directly, and his attention was all on chatting with Luo Youde, or it was not a chat at all, but asking each other for advice.
