306 Living Tea Dance
At this time, Fusang inherited the tradition of the Central Plains, and then processed and rendered it by itself, making various etiquettes more complicated and redundant. Copy this address to browse%77%77%77%2e%62%78%73%2e%63%63
The most orthodox Fuso banquet has twelve procedures.
The first course is to pay first.
What came up was a small saucer, and there were a few sticks of dried radish sticks in it, and Lian Zining said in his heart, this is too shabby.
Pay first, that is, the small wine dish is appetizer before meals.
The maid explained in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty with a strong exotic style: "Honorable Lord Mingguo, this is salted cuttlefish, please open your mouth!" ”
If you come, you will be safe, and Lian Zining will also open her mouth obediently and enjoy a Fusang aristocratic [***]. This salted cuttlefish tastes really good, I don't know how to prepare it, sweet, sour, salty three flavors are mixed together, the taste is varied, and it explodes in the mouth, it is very delicious.
After eating one, she stopped eating it, and the maid put down her chopsticks, and after a while, the dish was withdrawn.
Then there is the second dish, the appetizer, which is the so-called cold dishes of the Ming Dynasty, there are three or five dishes on each table, red, green and green, which look full of flowers, and it is beautiful, and I don't know what it is made of.
This one didn't even eat, it was purely for the sake of appreciation, and when half a cup of tea was put on the table, it was withdrawn.
Then there is the first bowl, the so-called first bowl, that is, the clear soup, which means the soup served before the meal. Its function is to let the guests drink a bowl of clear soup to clear their mouths, so as not to have a strong taste of wine in their mouths and not be able to eat the delicious taste of those dishes served later.
The small bowl of clear soup that came up, almost white and transparent, with cotton wool and something like that, the maid scooped a spoonful and put it in Lian Zining's mouth, the taste was really bland, but it seemed to add something special to it, which had the effect of stimulating the taste buds.
The first bowl was also removed.
The fourth course is the main dish, the sashimi dish.
Sashimi, or sashimi, is the most distinctive and dominant dish in the maritime country of Fuso. The main ingredients are tuna, sea bream, partial mouth fish, mackerel, sea bass, shrimp, shellfish, etc., with tuna and sea bream as the highest grade. It is generally served with shredded white radish, soybean leaves, soybean flowers, chrysanthemums, and horseradish (called this mustard). Some of the ways to eat are dipped in soy sauce, and some put lemon juice and chrysanthemum leaves in soy sauce, with a sour mouth; There is also a sauce dipped in sake soaked in red sour plum, and with a little horseradish, it is sweet, sour, and spicy, and has a unique taste. The dipping sauce depends on the type of fish, such as conger eel with plum soy sauce, and fatty fish sliced with mashed radish, shredded green onions, seaweed, and dipped in sour soy sauce.
In the large red lacquer tray, there are more than ten palm-sized, snow-white and delicate slices of meat, and the quilt is extremely thin, looking like paper, almost transparent. A small bowl of black sauce was placed next to it, which did not look good, and there was a faint spicy smell inside.
Even Zining couldn't tell what this meat was.
Before those maids could speak, Tachibana Michiyuki on the first seat laughed, and said with a smug expression: "Everyone, today we are blessed to be able to eat the meat of the sea monster, this is the most rare delicacy in Fuso!" ”
As soon as the words fell, an exclamation sounded below.
Lian Zining was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses, what else could the sea monster in Fusang's mouth have besides whales?
For this huge sea creature, the Fuso people have a great enthusiasm for eating, in later generations, whales are the seat of many Fuso people's delicacies, but in this era, whales can not be eaten if they want to. With the current level of weapons and shipbuilding in Fuso, if you really want to go whaling, most of them will end up being capsized by whales.
At this time, whale meat can be eaten, and Lian Zining estimates that most of them are stranded whales.
Everyone tasted it one after another, and the maid next to Lian Zining also picked up a piece of sashimi with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce slightly, and put it in Lian Zining's mouth. Regardless of the previous life or present life, Lian Zining is the first time to eat this kind of thing, and it feels good, a bit like three-layer meat, the taste is soft, but it still has a bit of bite.
When the main course is served, the atmosphere of the banquet is lively, and the dishes are not changed so often, so you can enjoy them calmly.
There are about more than ten powerful people in the Tachibana family opposite, most of whom are still very enthusiastic about Lian Zining, and they greet Lian Zining one after another, and their Chinese is at least coarse, and communication is not a problem. In Fuso, if you are not proficient in Chinese, you will not be able to climb to the top.
For these powerful people of the Tachibana family, it was a considerable honor to be able to meet and talk to Lian Zining, who was famous in Fuso, today. For a magnate like them whose status is not low, but who are far from entering the real upper class of Fusang, this is a very good capital to show off.
What's more, some people have already taken out the poems they wrote to ask Lian Zining for advice.
Lian Zining is quite funny, because the poems written by these Fusang magnates are really bullshit, not only bullshit, but also moaning without illness and emotion. What's even more exaggerated is that some people's words and sentences don't even reach the meaning at all, and the connection is smooth, just like the college entrance examination essay of later generations, piling up a few very obscure or gorgeous words. But the college entrance examination essay is still a three-stage style, and there is nothing about this!
Fusang people like Middle-earth culture, but they can't learn it at home, and they especially like to show it off, chanting a poem at every turn, making a fu, appreciating a snow, drinking tea, dancing a sword and so on.
In a word, vassal elegance!
The charm of the real oriental civilization, they have not learned at all.
Lian Zining is not easy to show, after all, he will cooperate with these people of the Tachibana family in the future, so he just picked the one that doesn't matter, and said a few words in the brilliant place, he is very knowledgeable and wide-ranging, so he avoids the important and light, but he also said that the head is the Tao, and those Fusang magnates listened to it convincingly, and kept nodding yes, the capital is really the great writer of the Ming Kingdom, this level is not ordinary...... But there were a few ministers of the Tachibana family, sitting there, looking at their noses and noses, just burying their heads in eating, and not talking to him, Lian Zining was puzzled at first, but then he was stunned.
I guess I thought it was Xiong Zongmao's business.
Now the Tachibana family knows that Chiyo is the next governor, and Xiong Zongmao is her future husband, and he can't say that his power is greater than her, so naturally someone is on the pole to stammer, and now Xiong Zongmao's power in the Tachibana family is already very small, these people, maybe they are his supporters, and they will naturally not give themselves a good look at this time.
Lian Zining just laughed.
Then there is the fifth course of boiled dishes, the sixth course of boiled dishes, and the seventh course of combined dishes.
Stewed dishes are dishes in which two or more ingredients are cooked to maintain their respective flavors and put together in a dish. This method comes from the Kansai region, and is made with all kinds of seasonal vegetables, plus bonito flower soup, light soy sauce, and sake, and boiled over a slight heat until soft, and the taste is generally sweet and very light.
To put it bluntly, it is a teppanyaki, a large, flat iron plate, which is heated and rubbed with oil, fried with raw materials, and cooked on the spot. Fuso's unique teppanyaki is a high-end cuisine, even ordinary nobles can't eat it, first of all, the high quality and absolute freshness of the raw materials are required - this is something that most nobles can't do, how can the preservation technology of this era be so advanced?
And it is not salted before it is made, only salt and pepper are added in the barbecue process - this is also difficult to do, in this era of Fuso, pepper is imported, the price is more than gold, who can afford to eat?
This dish is very appetizing to Lian Zining.
This is still the method that the Tachibana family learned from the Ming Dynasty, and the mutton, seafood, and beef sent to them are all chilled and very fresh. In this way, the taste is not bad, because this teppanyaki is the original taste of the food. And the ingredients used are quite good, the beef is Kobe's finest beef, the seafood is also just fished out of the inland sea, and a lobster is as long as an arm, and it is extremely tender and delicious.
And the handmaid's skills are also very good, they are not vases that are specially trained to serve meals in famous families, but chefs who are proficient in various cooking skills, Lian Zining can be regarded as having seen their skills.
Teppanyaki ten slow kung fu, the chef made the dishes on the spot, in the hands of the two maids, dressing the vegetables, roasting meat, turning over, brushing the ingredients, elegant like a dance, fast like juggling, so that Lian Zining was dazzled. Different foods are served with different sauces, such as lobster sashimi, which is dipped in a light-colored sauce, which is the unique vinegar of Fuso, and other foods such as meat and vegetables are dipped in a dark sauce, which is specially formulated with Fuso soy sauce or sesame juice. Sashimi, seafood, meat, you name it.
Lian Zining has lived in the army for a long time, and he likes such real, thick sauce things the most, and they are all feasted.
"Whew! Full! The slender jade hand sent a fat roasted prawn, dipped in sesame juice, and the maid who was waiting for it had already discovered that Lian Zining's taste was too heavy, so she specially added some ingredients.
Lian Zining ate it and finally burped.
The maid who was waiting for him showed a slight smile in her eyes, and then quickly lowered her head, but she didn't expect Lord Mingguo, who spoke so elegantly and interestingly, but her appearance was not very good!
The following dishes, even Zining didn't move.
Finally, after the twelve dishes were served, they were withdrawn, everyone also ate a round belly, and the tea cup was served again, Tachibana Michiyuki laughed, clapped his hands and said: "Even my lord, today I will ask you to take a look at my Fusang's living tea and the dance of the cloth!" Haha, this is the highest etiquette for my Fuso to entertain guests! Even we can't see it. ”
When those Fusang magnates heard this, they also became excited, and said with a smile: "Today, I have been stained with Lian Zining's light." ”
After Lian Zining came to Fusang, he had heard of this living tea and the dance of the cloth more than once, but he didn't know what it was, and when he saw the reaction of those powerful people, he was even more curious, and said with a smile: "So you have to open your eyes!" ”
After a cup of tea, Lian Zining finally saw what it meant to be called living tea and the dance of the cloth.
A bronze tripod was lifted up, this is a three-legged round tripod, it is not small, it is more than half a person high, the diameter reaches more than five feet, it looks like it is not a thousand pounds of weight, there are several iron rods under it, and more than a dozen servants hummed and carried it up.
The big tripod was placed in the center of the courtyard, and the tripod was full of water, and in the water, there was a person!
Lian Zining glanced at it, and her pupils immediately contracted, it was a very beautiful woman, naked [***], tied up and sturdy, only one face was exposed, it turned out to be Eri Nona!
Her face was full of fear, and she kept crying in Fuso, obviously begging for mercy. But none of the powerful people on the seat, from the snow of Tachibana Road, were moved, but they were all smiling and full of anticipation.
Then another servant came up and piled up firewood under the big ding.
Lian Zining now almost understands what this living tea is, and also knows what the promise that Tachibana Daoxue made to him means!
It's human life!
Tachibana Michiyuki waved his hand: "Ignition!" ”
Then a servant stepped forward and threw a torch into the fire, and soon the wood pile was burning, and the water in the big ding slowly began to heat up, among which Jiang Li Nona seemed to feel the temperature of the water, and let out a frightened scream, and the Tachibana family magnate who asked Lian Zining for his bullshit sour poem shook the folding fan in his hand, and made an elegant and indifferent appearance: "Pour a cup of tea, watch the sun shine in the courtyard, listen to the screams of the beauty being slowly cooked in the ding, and look at the skin and flesh all over the body. Drinking tea is really a supreme enjoyment! ”
Another magnate echoed: "Yes, yes, but unfortunately it is spring at this time, and the most beautiful thing about living tea is in winter, listening to the snow in the wind, it is really a relic of ancient times!" ”
It seems that it is definitely not the first time for them to drink live tea, and they have accumulated quite a lot of experience.
Tachibana Michiyuki was very happy to hear this, and bowed her head slightly.
He laughed: "In the past, when I drank live tea, it was the wives and daughters of those peasants, those untouchables, and the smell of the earth on my body could be clearly smelled from ten miles away, which stirred up a lot of interest." After all, this Eri Nona is also from a famous family in Chikuzen Province, and she has been raised as a maid for Chiyo since she was a child, but she is a veritable noble lady, and she dares to offend our distinguished guests today, which is really an unforgivable sin! It is used to make this living tea, but it also complements each other! ”
He turned his head sideways and said to Lian Zining: "Lord Lian, how about you drink this soup later?" ”
Lian Zining looked at this scene, and his heart was full of feelings. He has never been a soft-hearted person, and even if he kills Eli Nona on the spot outside the mountain city, there will not be the slightest shadow in his heart, but at this time, seeing such a young girl being cooked in front of him, he really can't accept it in his heart.
Even if it's killed with a knife, it's better than this!
Listening to Tachibana Thor, he forced a smile: "Dare to ask Thunder God, what is the head soup?" ”
Tachibana Michiyuki said with a smile: "After this beauty is cooked, the corpse floats on the tripod, but the skin and flesh are not broken, and there is a person who picks the skin with chopsticks, and the essence in the body flows out, which is the world's first-class delicacy, so as to make tea, it is the most delicious." ”
When Lian Zining heard this, he only felt a feeling of annoyance in his chest, and he almost didn't spit it out, so he endured the disgusting feeling and said with a smile: "How can the noisy bin take the master?" This soup is still drunk by the Thunder God boss, but he doesn't dare to take away the beauty of the people! ”
Tachibana Thunder God complimented him, laughed heartily, and gave Lian Zining a thumbs up: "Lord Lian is beautiful when he speaks!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a heavy and dense footsteps coming from the stairs, and everyone was discolored, Fusang was used to it, and it had always been like this, once the lord's family was not strong enough, the important ministers below or other big names were inevitably ready to move. It's like the thunder god boss who is now high, didn't he also usurp the foundation of the Otomo family as a retainer of the Otomo family?
The current Fuso is a little similar to medieval Europe, almost with the feudal system of the lord, a million-stone-high daimyo, below a few hundreds of thousands of stone-high daimyos, and under each hundred-thousand-stone-high daimyo, there are a number of retainers, each powerful minister has a tens of thousands of stone-high, and below are the samurai of each family.
A vassal of my vassals, not my vassals. This sentence also worked in Fusang at this time. Therefore, these powerful people here have a lot of strength.
Could it be that someone is rebelling? A lot of people think at the same time, but shouldn't it? Even if it is to wait for the main family to be weak, now that the Tachibana family has just won a battle, it is the time when it is like Zhongtian, who would be so short-sighted?
Then I saw Tachibana Chiyo wearing her beautiful silver chain mail, with her hand pressed on the knife at her waist, and a dozen or so generals wearing red maru came up.
The surrounding magnates of the Tachibana family were all relieved, with a relaxed smile on their faces, and everyone understood that this was Princess Chiyo's plea for her general, but it was not a rebellion.
Tachibana Dao blew his beard angrily and glared, feeling deeply embarrassed in front of Lian Zining, making these people from the Ming Kingdom laugh at their family for no reason without a tutor.
He slapped the table and roared, "Chiyo, who told you to come up?" Retire! ”
Tachibana Chiyo's pretty face was covered with frost, and she slowly knelt on the ground: "Father, daughter please, bypass Eri Nona!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Tachibana Thunder must be furious, like an angry lion: "Go down!" ”
"No!" Tachibana Chiyo is also an extremely stubborn surname, and he stubbornly raised his head: "Father, please bypass Erinano!" ”
"You!" Tachibana Michiyuki's face turned blue and he couldn't speak, for this daughter who inherited his stubborn and stubborn surname, Tachibana Michiyuki was really helpless.
