"Hehe, you're wrong! This Yangzhou cuisine is actually not inferior to those places, but the cooking techniques are a little worse. "These restaurants are all the property of Li Mansion, and it is still very clear how to grade the food in them.

To be able to occupy a share of the four major cuisines, Yangzhou cuisine naturally has its uniqueness. This place can't be compared with those places now, just because Li Hao brought the craftsmanship of a thousand years later to those places, and this side is still in history, so naturally it can't be compared.

In the "Seven Hairs" written by Cifu Jiameicheng, "diet" and "banquet" account for the second. The recipes he described in the Yangzhou banquet at that time were based on a variety of cooking methods such as frying, boiling, broiling, and stewing, and the five-flavor harmony as the standard, making a thin brand of rotten bear's paw with sauce, roasted animal loin, shredded fresh carp meat, and fresh vegetables, and luxuriously using topaz and suzi seeds to make incense, and orchid to soak in wine and gargle.

Yangzhou Fenghuang River once unearthed the Han Dynasty rotating stone mill, marking the Han Dynasty has been able to process wheat flour. It outlines the staple food structure of Yangzhou, which is mainly rice and pasta, and unveils the long history of Yangzhou's exquisite pastry raw materials. "Luxury has been said in Yangzhou since ancient times, and the smoke and moon are everywhere."

The restaurants that have been erected in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the scale is not large, but the hanging and fluttering "wine" shop signs, and the flag-hung famous dish "raw fish tart", clearly tell people: the curtain of the development of Huaiyang cuisine has opened! Therefore, after that, Jin Xie Xuan, who served as Guangling Xiang in Yangzhou, made fish dumplings by himself and sent them to Henan to honor his wife.

In the Sui Dynasty, Yangzhou cooking had the world's leading leap at that time! The ancient canal connects the five major water systems of Hai, Huang, Huai, Jiang and Qian, and immediately promotes Yangzhou to the position of the national hub for the exchange of culinary talents, skills and raw materials. Beans, wheat, miscellaneous grains, and oilseeds from the north went south, and grains, tea, fruits, salt, and aquatic products from the south went north, and all of them met in Yangcheng.

The Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty brought the Central Plains food of Chang'an and Luoyang into the Sui Palace in Yangcheng with the dragon boat, and then spread it to the folk restaurants. It is also the place where the sail wall passes by, "boiling a hundred sheep at night for wine and food", the state and county pay tribute to the delicacies, and the chef deliberately fights Yan.

It is reported that the food that was paid tribute at that time was fish and fish, river crab, and honey ginger. The history of the local officials is even more feasting, and Zhao Yuankai was favored because of the peculiar smell, so he was promoted to Jiangdu County. To what extent is the dragon boat banquet and the labyrinth banquet luxurious, from the 53 kinds of famous dishes such as "Northern Qi Wuwei Five Sheep Stew" recorded in the Sui "Food Classic", you can get a glimpse of the information inside.

As a result, Yangzhou chefs have also gone through wind and rain, seen the world, absorbed the essence, and the overall skill level has been upgraded from the "quasi-high-level" of the princes of the Han Dynasty to the highest "Son of Heaven level" in the Sui Dynasty. Yangzhou's culinary industry flourished because Emperor Yang of Sui lived in Yangzhou, but the wine cup was in front of the soldiers, but it did not decline because Emperor Yang of Sui was buried in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou, because it is located in the throat of the Maritime Silk Road to Beijing in the north, developed into the southeast economic center in the Tang Dynasty. It is so important that the world has three points of bright moon, and Yangzhou accounts for two points! "Wanshang sunset ship ends, a city of spring breeze wine and wine", Yangzhou food market was stimulated to be hot, and the cooking skills were exquisite. The people and foreign businessmen have "wrapped 100,000 yuan around their waists and rode the crane down to Yangzhou".

Li Bai Shiyun: "The jade bottle sells fine wine, and the cup is on the avenue." "The excavation of marine fish fossils in Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty proves that the cooking raw materials have advanced from livestock, poultry, river fresh, and wild vegetables to seafood! Drinking tea has also become the preference of Yangzhou people, and the Tang people's notes "Yongcheng Jixian Lu" once described the Guangling tea basking of "every Dan, selling a cup of tea in the market". Yangzhou's gourmet beauty has attracted great attention from the royal family, and has become a first-class tribute, when Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei appeased An Lushan and bestowed gifts from the palace, there was Yangzhou's "Jinping off the rhinoceros spoon". All these factors have made Huaiyang cuisine develop to a new peak.

A large number of classic dishes poured into the table, such as bayonet fish, saddle bridge, sunflower meatballs, soup meat buns, three sets of duck, and boiled dried shreds. Li Dou recorded: "The culinary skill is the best. For example, Wu Yishan fried tofu, Tian Yanmen go fried chicken, Jiang Zhengtang ten kinds of pig's head, Wang Nanxi mixed sturgeon, Shi Fatzi pear shredded fried meat, Zhang Sihuizi whole sheep, Wang Yinshan boneless fish, Wang Wenmi moth cray, Guan Da Gu Dong soup, fish muddy, Kong Xuan'an crab noodles, Wensi monk tofu, Xiaoshan monk Saddle Bridge, the flavor is all amazing. ”

"Water and land cuisine rare fruits and vegetables, bead curtain ten miles drunk east wind", Yangzhou catering industry mass market further developed, only "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record" recorded in the name of the restaurant has reached more than 50, slender West Lake, painting navigation sand flying, there are boat girls cooking, to feast and drink to help the pleasure.

In the following years, the intervention of literati was the catalyst for Huaiyang cuisine to reach its peak. Literature intervened in Yangzhou cuisine, as far back as the Han Fu, Tang poetry, and Song Ci, but especially in the Qing Dynasty. There are at least 200 poems that can be appreciated in later generations of Qing people's food history, Yong picking materials, Yong dishes, Yong banquets, Yong cooking, Yong restaurants, Yong food customs, and Yong drinking words, which make the style of Huaiyang cuisine more elegant and greatly enhance the cultural taste.

This is a cuisine with cultural heritage, and its peak has not yet arrived, so it is normal that it is not as good as other cuisines now. In fact, if it weren't for Li Hao's arrival, this cuisine would still be the one with the highest status at this time.

"Lang Jun! Do you want to spend the night here tonight? Li Hao sat down for a while, and then listened to Nie Xiaoqian talk about a song and was about to go back, it's not good to go back too late, there are still a few women waiting at home.

So the beauties around him didn't agree when they asked him to spend the night, he couldn't see where the jade people taught, and he couldn't see the thin horses in Yangzhou, so Li Hao's interest in this side dropped a lot.

"Shaojun wants to go back?" Zhang San was a little embarrassed, he hadn't seen his old friend for a long time, he must have to do something. Now that Li Hao is leaving, he can't stay, and he won't stay.

"I'll go back myself, there's a carriage here. Boss Zhang saw that he was good-looking, so it didn't hurt to stay here. "Li Hao is not a moral model, he doesn't like things here, but he won't stop others from playing.

So he didn't let Zhang San go back with him, and let him stay here. Tomorrow morning, Li Hao himself will come over to redeem people, and there is a carriage here just to pick up and drop off guests. Zhang San persisted for a while, but was still rejected by Li Hao, Li Hao had this kind of experience, he could understand Zhang San's feelings.

said that they would find a woman together, but they found a good match, and Li Hao wanted to go back, which was really embarrassing. Li Hao called a carriage and went back by himself, and there were still women waiting at home.

"San Lang, what is the origin of this Li Shaojun? For you to be so flattering to him? As soon as Li Hao left, Zhang San's good friend immediately inquired about Li San's identity. She knows Zhang San's situation, a rich businessman. But the young man just now can actually make Zhang San respectful to him from the bottom of his heart, which is not something that a talented person can do.

The women in the room, including Nie Xiaoqian, all looked at Zhang San, and Zhang San now respected Nie Xiaoqian. It is definitely not easy to make Li look good, and it is also good for me to start marrying now. So Zhang San didn't hide it and told Li Hao's identity.

"This is not simple, he is the most trusted person of the emperor today, and he is also the teacher of several princes. It is also the god of war, the saint of medicine, and the god of wealth of the younger generation of my Datang Dynasty, and it is the honor of my life to be able to marry him. ”

The women in the room were all shocked when they heard this, and they felt that they had a real great god here tonight. A generation of talented Li Zijia, Nie Xiaoqian actually played and sang other people's lyrics and songs in front of others.

"It was him! This is the wishful husband in the dreams of countless Tang girls. "If this identity is not enough, plus the youngest wine emperor in the Tang Dynasty, the great victory of the Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition, the disembowelment of the divine doctor, the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, it is a heavy mountain, and it is so young.

Now the room full of people has no confidence, and even the well-informed Zhang San's old friend is also confused, and he feels a little overwhelmed. Zhang Sanxiao proudly told them that it was okay, Li Hao was a very easy-going person, and he was a businessman full of copper smell and he got along very well, and Li Hao would do what to do when he came to redeem people tomorrow, speaking of which, Zhang San himself wanted to redeem people.

He wanted to take his old friend to Hangzhou, but he couldn't leave, not because Zhang San's ransom was not enough. Zhang San's old man redeemed himself a long time ago, and he didn't need a ransom at all, but there were so many people under her who all relied on her to feed her, and these people were not eaten clean by other families in Yangzhou City?

Now Zhang San is also a little embarrassed, he has no problem raising him with a good person, but he also has a headache when raising such a group of people. simply stopped talking about this issue at all, continued to drink bars, and by the way, Nie Xiaoqian's redemption was done.

Nie Xiaoqian was cultivated by Zhang Sanxiang Hao with a lot of effort, so she can't let herself suffer from being good, and this is to thank Li Hao. Therefore, Zhang San didn't frown, and gave himself a good friend to redeem Nie Xiaoqian at a high price, and then went to Wushan Yunyu with his arms around him.

Li Hao on the other side went back to his residence in a carriage alone, and Li Hao was not at ease about spending the night at Zhang San's place. I don't know how many men have been in and out of the place, and they haven't been condomined, it's too risky to spend the night, and he didn't fancy that.

When they returned to their residences, the women at home had not yet rested, and were sitting together chatting. The smoke-like maid was still sitting at the door, looking around boredly with her head open, and when she saw Li Hao coming back, she immediately shouted happily: "Lang Jun is back from visiting the Red Mansion!" ”

Belch! That's what I said! Li Hao almost fell in fright after hearing this! I just drank a little wine in the past, and then listened to someone else sing a little song. was called by this girl, as if she had done something unseemly.
