Chapter 361: Exotic Food
"The destruction within the coalition has been better than we expected, whether it is the Vikings or the rebels, it has been very bright. What is commendable is those servant troops, I didn't expect them to be vulnerable to our Datang, but when they came here, they fought very eye-catchingly, and their generals had some ability. ”
Liu Renliang did not follow the Tang army, and both he and Li Hao stayed in the rear. In fact, the Tang Army basically did not move much, just advanced step by step and slowly advanced, and then put pressure on the resisting coalition forces, and did not fight any battles at all.
The several route armies behind the coalition army had a miraculous effect at this time, setting off various storms within the coalition army in three directions, and also captured a lot of prisoners for the Tang Dynasty, which made the population of the entire European region begin to decline rapidly, which greatly cheapened the Tang army.
"They did a good job, but after the war, the generals of several armies must be eradicated, no matter how good they are, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different. We must nip all calamities in the bud and prevent them from growing and growing. ”
Li Hao smiled and replied after hearing this, the better these people behave, the sooner they will die. Datang doesn't need any heterogeneous people who can fight, just need to send the stormtroopers to death. People with command ability will sooner or later be the scourge of Datang and must be eradicated.
Moreover, there have always been decrees within the imperial court, prohibiting foreign races from holding military power, prohibiting people of different races from mastering the high and new technology of the Tang Dynasty, prohibiting different races from gathering together, prohibiting women from marrying men of different races, and prohibiting people of different races from being officials, all of which must be strictly controlled. The exception is the servant army's side, which must be abolished after the war.
"After the conquest of Europe, there was only one part of Africa left on the planet. The fighting ability of the natives over there is even worse, except for the bad weather and the steep environment, there is basically nothing to pay attention to, so our Datang is basically dominating the earth now, and the use value of these aliens has also arrived. ”
Worried that Liu Renliang had objections to these things, Li Hao specially explained to him. For that area of Africa, whether to start or not, Li Hao was still a little hesitant, because of the terrifying environment there.
In later generations, several infectious diseases that were coaxed by cowhide basically spread from this place to the whole world, and when the medical skills did not reach a sufficient level, rashly entering this area may bring a wave of great disasters to mankind.
But in addition to these, all kinds of minerals in Africa are also extremely rich, oil, gold, diamonds and other minerals, which are very rich here, whether to develop here, to be honest, Li Hao himself is also very conflicted.
Leave it to future generations to choose, but in the area of medical skills, Li Hao felt that he needed to speed up, and then described several powerful virus problems in Africa, and let future generations solve them themselves.
"The Kunlun Nu on the African side are not in bad physical condition, their combat effectiveness is so poor?" Liu Renliang was a little puzzled after listening to Li Hao's words, many places in the Tang Dynasty like to use Kunlun slaves, those guys can eat and sleep, and their endurance is quite good, but they are a little lazy, where such people rule, will the combat effectiveness be poor?
"One is because the weapons of my Tang Army are developing too fast, and the other reason is that the people over there are worse at war than the people on the European side, and you will know when our army invades that side in the future, they are worse than you think." Li explained with a smile. While directing the people around him to prepare new delicacies, the delicacies that had been staying in Constantinople for a while were almost exhausted, so he changed places and moved to the Italian side of the later generations.
It is now time for the Tang Dynasty to control the places, including Greece. Greece is a great place with a lot of beautiful women. It's a pity that Li Hao is not very interested in this, so he went directly to Italy. The food here is more famous than the Greek food.
Later Italian cuisine originated from the court of the ancient Roman Empire, with a strong Renaissance era Florentine dining charm, known as the "mother of continental European cuisine", and enjoyed a high reputation in the world. What kind of French Western food, or American Western food, all originates here, Li Hao came here, so naturally he had to make some authentic Italian food.
Not having done this kind of problem is not a problem for Li Hao, who now has a large number of points in his hands. Every time a new delicacy is launched, he has points to collect, and every time a new delicacy is launched in a new place, he also has various points to collect. In recent years, because of the development of Datang's science and technology, there are fewer and fewer points he can use, so the accumulated points have also increased.
Italian cuisine is mostly made with seafood as the main ingredient, supplemented by beef, sheep, pig, fish, chicken, duck, tomato, cucumber, radish, green pepper, kohlrabi and chives. The preparation method is commonly used to fry, fry, fry, boil, red stew or red stew, like to add garlic and dried chili, slightly spicy, the heat is generally six or seven mature, pay attention to the feeling of teeth, with a little hard and elastic for the beauty, the formation of mellow, fragrant, broken, original juice, slightly spicy, hard and tough 12 character characteristics.
These characteristics are expressed in Florentine steak, Roman devil's chicken, Neapolitan grilled lobster, bari soft-shelled turtle, Osbock beef elbow, Zamagroon salad, Milesteon macaroni, egg minced meat sauce, white bean salad with plate meat, stewed chicken with green pepper, braised prawns, grilled fish, cold chicken, white bean soup, ham cut noodles and other famous dishes, tourists from all over the world are famous and come from all over the world.
Compared to the big dishes, Italian noodles, crepes, rice, sausages, and drinks are on the next level. Spaghetti is also called spaghetti and has a great reputation. It is divided into four categories: threaded, granular, hollow and hollow fancy, and is made by machine processing with flour and eggs, tomatoes, spinach or other accessories.
The most famous of these are macaroni, clam shell powder, bow tie powder, fish paste screw powder, green bean soup powder and tomato sauce powder, which come in white, red, yellow and green colors. Most of these noodles have a bite after cooking, and are served with ham, bacon, jackfish, minced meat, shredded fish, cheese, mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, chili, onions, shrimp, green beans and various seasonings.
Italian cuisine pays the most attention to the essence and nature of the ingredients, and the finished product strives to maintain the original flavor. During the cooking process, I like to use garlic, green onions, tomato sauce, and cheese to make sauce. The cooking methods are mostly stir-fried, fried, roasted, braised and stewed. The main ingredient is usually wrapped or marinated, pan-fried or grilled, and then cooked together with the ingredients, resulting in an exceptional taste of the dish and a multi-layered mouthfeel. Italian cuisine is very particular about the heat, with many dishes being cooked to six or seven years old, while others are tender and bloody.
"Lord Wang, this is preparing a new delicacy?" Liu Renliang is accustomed to Li Hao's behavior, for such a leader who is not greedy for money, not lustful, and considerate of his subordinates, liking this delicious thing is not a big problem. Plus this doesn't cost much, so Liu Renliang naturally won't hit Li Hao's small report on this kind of thing.
Of course, even if Liu Renliang went to make a small report, it was useless, the people took food as the sky, not just eating, and Li Hao didn't do anything evil. Moreover, most of Li Ke and the officials of the Tang Dynasty also know about Li Hao's hobby, who would care about Li Hao in such a small matter?
"Well, this cuisine is different from what we ate in Constantinople before, and the cuisine here has its own characteristics. However, there are two special ingredients missing, otherwise they would have been served with the best white truffles and caviar. ”
Caviar and white truffles, top-notch stuff were hyped up to sky-high prices by some people in later generations. Although there are reasons for the hype, those things also have their own unique side. But without either of these things, Italian food can still be made. It's rare for people here to make clever use of the natural flavors of the ingredients to cook delicious food.
Olive oil, black olives, cottage cheese, spices, tomatoes and Marsala are always indispensable in Italian cuisine. These six ingredients are the soul of Italian cuisine, and they also represent the abundant and fully utilized edible ingredients in Italy, so Italian cuisine can be called "authentic and traditional".
The most commonly used vegetables are tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, seaweed, lettuce, potatoes, etc. Rice is widely used as a side dish, accompanied by meat, oysters, squid, field chicken, mushrooms, etc. Italians are very particular about the production and processing of meat, such as air-dried beef, air-dried ham, salami, bologna sausage, and brathu.
Some things are already there at this time, and some are not yet there. However, Li Hao can change some materials from the system, and the production method will also be changed. Once Datang rules this side, Li Hao's restaurant will also open here. In addition to launching some delicacies here, Datang's eating habits and style, Li Hao will spread to this side.
Italian cooking is so varied and varied, and people are impressed by the variety of its offerings. Take the most common flour as an example, a single dough, a good Italian chef can make thousands of pastries, and all tastes different; If you want to make a comparison, the ingredients used in different regions vary greatly, and the tastes are also very different. Rome's carbonara is a representative of pasta, with its unique flavor spread with cheese, eggs and whipped cream.
The province of Tuscany, where Philemerald is located, is rich in olive oil, so the noodles are used to being poured with olive oil, and the ingredients are relatively simple, but they feel good in the mouth. Southern Italy is dominated by dry noodles, with a large amount of tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes as a sauce, and seafood noodles are even fresher, and clams, shrimps, and mussels are added to the dishes, adding to the diversity of southern pasta.
Northern pasta, on the other hand, likes to use cream, and there are also options for noodles, such as the black cuttlefish noodles from Venice.
