Chapter 122: An Unusual After-Dinner (Part II)

"Ding San'er, what about other dishes? Come up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Guang said to Ding San'er in a calm tone as much as possible.

"How does the prince feel when he eats this raw roasted lamb leg?" Ding San'er was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he didn't answer Yang Guang, but turned to the master with a shy face and asked.

If it weren't for the presence of Changsun Sheng today, Yang Guang would have had a seizure on the spot.

"Well, it's not bad. Let me ask you, have you prepared any other dishes for this dinner? ”

"The prince doesn't know, I have followed the old master to make raw roasted lamb legs for more than ten years, and today I still smear salt first, and then put it on the shelf to roast. If the old master is still here, he will have to scold me to death. Ding San'er's words are a bit referring to Sang scolding Huai. Li Yuan saw that Yang Guang's face was pale, and he might turn his face with Ding San'er at any time, so he hurriedly scolded Ding San'er and said, "Today, the prince invited the eldest grandson to have a general dinner, Ding San'er, the back kitchen won't just prepare this dish, right?" Don't go and pass the food yet. ”

was urged by Li Yuan to shout, and Ding San'er replied reluctantly: "Naturally, there are other dishes, but this raw roasted lamb leg is the main dish." Then he turned around and went out of the temple to pass the food.

Changsun Sheng intended to ease the atmosphere in the hall, so he said to Yang Guang: "I still take this opportunity to accompany the prince Xi to talk about the Turkic language." As he spoke, he said in Turkic dialect: "The emperor consulted me yesterday about the opening of the palace and the construction of the palace, and asked the prince not to cause unrest in the palace at this time and affect your major affairs." ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Li Yuan, who was sitting on the side, and thought to himself: I, the master, don't know now that the person sitting opposite him will become his in-laws in the future. This is to prevent Li Yuan from hearing it, and he is deliberately passing on the news to me.

"Sir," Yang Guang also asked Changsun Sheng in Turkic dialect, "if my father allows me to open a mansion and build a government, how about you come to be the governor of the Jin Dynasty's mansion?" ”

Changsun Sheng was promoted by Yang Jian not long ago from the captain of the seven-rank Fengche to the general of the five-rank chariot, and the rank of the chief of the Jin Wangfu should be above the five-pin, Yang Guang invited him to be the chief of the Jin Wangfu, completely out of good intentions.

However, Changsun Sheng shook his head and continued to reply to Yang Guang in Turkic dialect: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the Turkic affairs are restless for a day, and the emperor may not let me leave him." In addition, the matter of the prince's opening of the government is still in the motion stage, and it has not yet been determined whether the prince will open the government in the name of the king of Jin or in the name of the governor of the state. Regarding this matter, the prince can know it, and there is no need to mention it to outsiders. ”

Yang Guang nodded, indicating that he knew what he knew. He saw Li Yuan eating roast leg of mutton, his eyes dripping, and he kept scanning back and forth between himself and Changsun Sheng, as if he was suspicious, and hurriedly changed to Chinese, and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Why is the dish so slow?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Xiao holding a large wooden tray in his hand and walking into the hall with a look of concern.

After Xiao Xiao arranged the dishes on the several cases in front of the three people in the hall in turn, Yang Guang looked at it intently, but saw that next to the raw roasted lamb leg on the several cases, a whole steamed sea bass was placed in a black lacquered oval wooden plate.

"Lord Wang, this is the perch made by the chef surnamed Xie who is new to the back kitchen. Ding San'er has been blocking the food outside the hall, seeing that the fish is almost cold, the prince should use it quickly. Xiao Xiao reported to Yang Guang in a low voice.

Steamed sea bass was Yang Guang's favorite dish before his crossing, and he had seen his mother serve a steamed sea bass to the table more than once, and then pour a layer of steamed fish soy sauce on the fish to hide the fishy taste.

However, in the Sui Dynasty, there was no vegetable oil, so where to find steamed fish soy sauce?

He lifted his chopsticks and wanted to clip a piece of fish to taste it. But with a slight force between the fingers, the fish meat on the plate was pinched off by the chopsticks.

It turned out that the plate seemed to be a whole fish, but in fact, Xie Yan used superb knife skills to cut into countless strands of filaments, and then twisted into the shape of a whole fish.

Sea bass. Yang Guang remembered that he had eaten a flying twin dish made by Ding San'er, which was steamed chicken and pigeon meat and cut into thin strips and dipped in sauce to eat, and now he still remembers that although the taste of that dish is not very good, Ding San'er's knife technique of cutting meat into shreds is not much lower than Xie Wei. The dish on the table in front of you is called sea bass, and it must be cut into thin strips. Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought of this.

He lifted the chopsticks for the second time, picked up a piece of snow-white perch shreds, put them in his mouth, and felt that the tender perch shredded slid directly into his stomach from the tip of his tongue, and the aftertaste in his mouth was light and delicious, as if there was no seasoning in the shredded perch.

Yang Guang still ate any seasoning for the first time, the completely original sea bass, and hurriedly picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, tasting the taste carefully, this time, there was a faint hint of fishy smell on the tip of the tongue, but it was eaten with a greasy roast leg of lamb, which was particularly greasy.

He looked up at Changsun Sheng and Li Yuan, and saw that they were similar to himself, and he was surprised that there was no seasoning added to this perch sauce when he first entered it, and then he ate chopsticks, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

"Tell Xie Yan to come in, I've seen Mr." Yang Guang was very satisfied with the perch made by Xie Wei, and ordered someone to call him into the hall and saw Changsun Sheng.

After a few moments, Xie Wei walked in with a frightened face.

"Chef Xie, why did you remember to make such a dish today?" Seeing that Xie Wei had finished giving salutes to the three people in the hall, Yang Guang asked one by one.

"Back to the prince's words, I saw that there were a few fresh sea bass in the back kitchen of the palace, and I learned from Chef Ding that he had prepared a dish of raw roasted lamb leg for the prince, so he thought that after eating this raw roasted lamb leg, the prince would most likely feel greasy, and at this time, he could use the original sea bass to relieve the greasy. And one of the two dishes is sheep and the other is fish, which can also be combined into a fresh word, so this dish of sea bass is made. I don't know if the prince is still delicious when he eats? Xie Yan kept looking back behind him as he spoke, obviously scruples, and his tone and demeanor were completely lacking from the previous chic.

From the performance of Ding San'er and Xie Wei, Changsun Sheng has seen the hidden secret, and immediately pointed to the perch made by Xie Wei with the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile: "If this perch is a knife skill, it is indeed first-class, but without adding any seasoning to cook fish dishes, it can only be eaten as a side dish. If you want me to say, this roast leg of lamb is still a pleasure to eat. ”

Xie Yan listened to Changsun Sheng's words, raised his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and complimented Changsun Sheng from the bottom of his heart: "The general is the real person who knows the taste, and he has just pointed to the key to everything, and he admires it tightly." ”

Yang Guang listened to the conversation between the two people, thinking of Ding San'er's abnormal behavior today, his heart flashed, and he seemed to have noticed something from it, but he didn't say a word, and picked up a chopsticks and perch tart, put it in his mouth and slowly tasted it.
