Chapter 185: Shu Zhong Cold Dishes
During the Wang Mang period at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Secretary Shi had the saying that "high slaves produce fat water". Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Eastern Han Dynasty Bangu "Hanshu * Geographical Chronicles": "Gaonu has water that can be burned". Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty "Mengxi Pen Talk * Magazine": "There is oil in the territory of Yanyan, and it is said that Gao Nu produces fat water, that is, this is also." "Yuan Yi Tongzhi": "Yanchang County south of the digging of an oil well, its oil is combustible."
Gao Nu was in northern Shaanxi, and when Li Hao knew that he might have to fight, he asked people to get some over. And then what is slightly distilled is the raw material in the current incendiary bomb. This incendiary bomb is also a good thing, a must-have equipment for murder and arson and home travel.
The flock of sheep that is on fire cannot be extinguished directly, but the sheep can be shot first. This is no problem, after shooting to death, use fire extinguishing equipment to extinguish the fire, those sheep are just roasted, tidy up a little, and can be eaten as meat.
It's just that the soldiers at the scene don't have any idea of eating meat at the moment, and the scene just now really shocked them. First there was the loud thunder, and then there was the strange fire that was difficult to extinguish. Whether it was a soldier or a general, the eyes that looked at Li Hao at this moment became awe-inspiring.
These are just external things, and let all the people know that they have a lot of means. Then after Li Hao casually showed them what the Wushuang Archery Method was, the more than 2,000 soldiers in the entire military camp were shocked again. It turned out that although their governor was young, he was not a man to be messed with.
After this exercise, the atmosphere in the entire barracks changed again to a different from before, and Li Hao's orders could now be easily conveyed, and no one objected to Li Hao's opinions. Wang Xuance was left by Li Hao to work in the state capital, and Xue Li was arranged in the army.
"Shaojun, will there be any problems with spreading all the personnel?" After thoroughly mastering the soldiers in his hands, Li Hao's various plans began to be fully implemented. He separated all the two thousand people, a team of dozens of people, and then set off with the caravan on the Maozhou side.
"Normally, there shouldn't be any problems, those caravans don't trade with the surrounding Fanbangs overnight. These soldiers followed the past and only explored the surrounding terrain and the size of those states, and did not make any drastic movements. ”
Li glanced at Xi Junmai, Lao Wang and Xue Li beside him, this is already the high-level civil and military officials of Maozhou Mansion. They don't have to go out, they stay here in Maozhou. In fact, in the whole of Maozhou, there are no 1,000 troops now, and all the others have been sent.
"It's just a relationship with Fanbang, and any accident is possible. I just hope that those soldiers will do exactly what I say, we are not trying to make much money from Fanbang, the important thing is to understand all the situation around Shuxi, those goods are not worth much. ”
In addition to salt, tea, silk and other substances, there are now more fresh items such as glass and liquor. These things are also rare in Shudi, and Li Hao is worried that those soldiers who are on a mission will be reluctant to sell them cheaply in the end.
"We've already stressed this to them, and it doesn't matter if you want to lose some money in business, but you must complete the task of surveying and mapping the terrain. It's just that they don't know a lot of ligatures, so can they map the terrain? Those glasses and liquor are very valuable items. ”
Lao Wang and Xue Li know more details because of their different relationships with Li Hao. But Xi Jun didn't know that after each team went out, there was a teenager trained by Li Hao inside, and those glasses and liquor were not as expensive as they were actually sold.
"It doesn't matter if you lose some small property, but if you can completely understand the surrounding terrain, these things can save many lives when we really want to fight these states in the future." Li Hao smiled after hearing this.
"The people have already been scattered, all that remains is to wait for them to come back and report the situation. It's useless for us to worry about it, today we went to Shuxianglou to eat, I had a treat, and I heard that there were a lot of new dishes over there. ”
Exploring the terrain is just one of the things for Li Hao. He is the number one leader in the military and politics, in addition to the military, he handles the civil affairs as well, and it is also Li Hao's task to develop this side.
At present, it is a relatively hot time, and it will be a busy time after a while, some things can be arranged slowly, and after the autumn harvest is over, a new round of development will start in Maozhou.
And the wealthy businessmen who donated some money to Li Hao before, after seeing that the state capital could actually get the sale of liquor, glass and other things, they were all bloody. It's a pity that they can't plug in those businesses anymore, and only those who donated money before are eligible to enjoy it.
After experiencing such a thing, the people here have also learned well. Knowing that the current governor is different from the previous governors, this will not only call on people to donate money, but also give people who donate money a way to make a lot of money, so now they are all looking at the state capital, waiting for when Li Hao will invite them to the banquet again.
It's a pity that since the event was held not long ago, Li Hao hasn't moved much since he came. Even if the wealthy businessmen here go to the state capital for an interview, they can't get the same opportunity as before, which makes many people chagrined.
Seeing that the place called the Governor an industrial park, there were liquor workshops and glass cement workshops one after another. Those are golden roosters that can lay eggs, can these people not be in a hurry? Now that they've finally got another chance, can these people not get excited?
Xi Jun bought them to eat and drink together, and they didn't say much about other things. But the food there is really memorable, and it's not expensive. After they had paid their salaries, they could sometimes go over and have a tooth sacrifice.
"Shuxianglou wants to launch new dishes?" Among these people, the one who has the closest relationship with Li Hao should be Wang Xuance, he and Li Hao have known each other for a long time, and they have a good relationship with each other. After listening to Li Hao's words, he became a little curious.
Follow Li Hao never have to worry about not eating, and you can eat the food there when you go there, this Wang Xuance heard the truth from Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the fact is the same. Even if there is no local food, Li Hao can make his own food.
"Yes, the biggest feature of Shuzhong cuisine is cold dishes, but Shuxianglou has not produced many cold dishes, this time they are going to launch a few special cold dishes to ensure that everyone wants to eat after eating."
Cold dishes are a highlight of the dishes in Shuzhong, which has a lot to do with the salt production in ancient Shu. People here have known for a long time to make all kinds of cold dishes with various condiments, but because of the conditions and ingredients, these have not been very brilliant.
Now Li Hao is here, and he has brought not only chili peppers, but also liquor, as well as all kinds of vegetables that have not appeared in this era. Chili pepper and liquor are often used in the preparation of braised vegetables, which can also make the braised vegetables more flavorful.
Braised cabbage is a common name for cold food dishes in cooking, and it is a well-known home-cooked dish in various regions. It is pickled, wind-dried, boiled or marinated, processed by knife work, simple packaging, and can be eaten, characterized by dry fragrance, crisp and tender, crispy, smooth, no soup, not greasy, bright color, easy to eat, easy to carry, and is loved by people.
"You'll have to try it." After Li Hao's words were finished, the eyes of several other people immediately lit up. After following Li Hao, sooner or later, these guys will be like Li Ke, and all of them will become foodies.
The dinner party in Shuxianglou is not open to the public on this day, and no one is here to make trouble at this time. Whether it is the prestige of the governor of the state capital or the power of the local wealthy merchants, it can make ordinary people go far away.
"Huh? Can this bean curd do this? The cold bean curd tastes so delicious! It is best used for sake. When the banquet officially began, a few people who followed Li Hao quickly confirmed that what Li Hao said was not a lie, and the new cold dishes here tasted really delicious.
The tofu flowers in Sichuan cuisine are a little different from other places, and the tofu flowers here will solidify with the brine. Then take it out and mix it with chili oil, coriander, shallots and other ingredients, you can eat it as a dish, the taste is very good, Li Hao liked to eat this dish very much in later generations.
"You can try this spiced beef, it's even more delicious than the cold tofu flowers. And you can't eat beef here, it's hard to eat. ”
Li Hao took a slice of spiced beef from the table and put it in his mouth, this dish is golden in color, rich in flavor, soft and delicious. After the entrance, incense! Hot! The taste is mellow, and it is still the same taste in my memory, and this dish is also good for sake.
In fact, many cold dishes in Sichuan cuisine are really good for wine, such as braised pig's head meat, pig ears, and duck intestines. And if these cold dishes can handle storage problems, they can also be used to make convenient food on the go.
Li Hao thought of this plan after pushing out these cold dishes, he needed enough points to go to the system to change to a set of aseptic storage technology. This is roughly similar to the canned food of later generations, but the materials used are different.
"The flavor of this spiced beef is really good, but the portion is too small. Such a small piece is not enough to plug between the teeth. This kind of beef should be cut into large pieces to be eaten to be strong, and then served with a large bowl of wine, which is a great thing in life. ”
The flavored beef is really good, but the portion is too small. A few guys around Li Hao are all edible masters, and the small plate of spiced beef was sandwiched down by them with chopsticks, and it was empty in two clicks, which made these guys feel that it was not a taste.
You have to eat a large piece of meat to be strong enough, Xi Junmai couldn't help but lick his lips after swallowing a few slices of beef in his mouth. Looking at the empty plate, my heart was full of depression and replied, it was too boring to eat like this, and it didn't taste pleasant at all.
