Chapter 24: The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
Yang Lin patrolled in the kitchens, the people of Wangjia Village are now fragrant, with their skills, whether it is to go to Xungui's mansion to be a cook or to go to the restaurant spoon to be a chef, Yang Lin only plays a guiding role in it, when Wang Musheng's son carved out a palm-sized log box for him, Yang Lin lost interest in guiding the cooking skills of the women, and praised Wang Mutou a few words before asking him to continue carving a box of the same size.
The function of the box is actually used to make food, up and down, a dough cake becomes a fixed shape, and the middle of the dough cake is printed with four big characters 'Datang moon cake'. There are some exquisite patterns around, the villagers of Wangjia Village are not short of food, they are very rich, when Wang Erniu will bring a large bucket of ground bean paste and a basket of eggs over, Yanglin's moon cakes began to make zuò, first put a rolled dough on the bottom of the wooden box, and then put in the bean paste, bud sugar, beat an egg into it, with the same cover covered with a tight lid with the dough, a delicate moon cake will be made, as Wang Mutou's moon cake box is more and more, the little friends have to learn from the same, A large bucket of bean paste was used up in an instant, Wang Erniu had to grind a few more buckets, and when thousands of identical moon cakes were placed on several square tables, Yang Lin asked Wang Erniu to stop making zuò raw materials.
"Set up the pan and brush it with a layer of lard." Yang Lin has always commanded others to work, now his body is still too small, those heavy work is not easy to get started at all, I saw Wang Erniu quickly brush a thin layer of lard on the pan, even the pot, with the pan lid that was hung on the beam and hung on the stove with a high fire together, when the pot lid was about to be burned red, Yang Lin neatly arranged a moon cake on the pan, and then Wang Erniu used the red-hot iron pot lid to instantly cover the pan tightly, In fact, the whole process is the same as when the little fairy made a pot helmet in the village, but the material has changed slightly, the maltose will completely melt into the bean paste after high temperature, and the moisture in the egg white will continue to be added to the dough and bean paste, so that the dough will not be as hard as the pot helmet, and finally, the center of the bean paste will only leave a dry oil egg yolk, and the bean paste will stick together with the dough, and the second ancestors excitedly add firewood to the stove.
"It's five minutes coming, turn the pot on."
Yang Lin gave an order, Wang Erniu immediately pulled the green vine hanging from the iron pot lid, the roasted red, and the pot of moon cakes with a faint sweet fragrance of maltory bean paste came out of the pot.
"It can't kill you."
Yang Lin broke a sentence fiercely, and used a bamboo tong to sandwich the moon cakes one by one onto the plate, and also put on a beautiful shape.
"A few of you, you can only eat after each family sends two plates." Yang Lin handed each plate of eight moon cakes to Cheng Chumo and the others, and everyone couldn't help but put the moon cakes in front of their noses and smell the aroma of the moon cakes.
As soon as the moon cakes came out of the pot, more than 20 households in Wangjia Village were divided into almost half, and the second ancestors who came back after sending the moon cakes stood by the stove with Hadazi and waited to eat, Li Chengqian touched his round stomach and was a little distressed, he should have listened to the second brother's stomach, Li Tai always thought that the bag was too small, and looked around for a beautiful bag that could hold things, Li Ke patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and smiled: "Big brother, in fact, it's not too late for you to start keeping your stomach now, and the delicious food should still be behind." ”
A smart person is a person who makes the right choice at any time, and a brainless person is a person who is still staring at the moon cake with his saliva wet clothes, of course, under the age of seven, and the younger ones are not among them. Yangjia Village was full of smoke, and a long table banquet to be set up full of tables could not be made in two or three hours, and after all the moon cakes were out of the pot, Yanglin began to make a pig-killing dish again.
This Northeast dish that is close to the Buddha jumping over the wall must be a big pot, boiled hard enough, the ingredients are mostly some pig offal, pig blood, green vegetables and radish, etc., Yanglin also only moves, do not move, but also put some cinnamon bark, star anise and pepper foam into it, at the same time the pot has braised pig's head, braised pig's trotters, braised pork, sauce-flavored pork ribs, iron plate fat sausage, dry stir-fried loach, as for leek scrambled eggs, tender bamboo shoots back to the pot meat, shoot cucumbers and other side dishes, Wang Erniu can do very well, the teaching of the little fairy is that in life, you must eat well, drink well, play well, The other two good Wang villagers haven't learned yet, and they have almost learned how to eat well.
The people of the whole village were busy until dusk, and more than 20 square tables were filled with all kinds of dishes, and a few large iron pots in Yanglin to cook pig-killing dishes were even more fragrant to the whole village, so that everyone's saliva was not enough to flow.
Li Er's team is here, the concubines, princesses, princesses, and the Li clan with titles are all here, and the officials above the third rank are lined up in a long line, which is the style that the big sacrifice will put out.
"Where is the crown prince, the king of Wu, and the king of Wei?" Ma Yongquan called, the three Li brothers were called to the emperor's team, and Yang Lin also beckoned the villagers to temporarily enter the house to avoid it.
I saw Li Er's full-width court clothes, the crown, the eldest grandson queen on the left hand side, the prince Li Chengqian who had just changed his dress on the right hand, the princes, the concubines in turn, and then the prime minister and the princess, etc., entered the Wangjia Village in a uniform manner, and under the leadership of the prince Li Chengqian, he went straight into the greenhouse of the fairy house, and greeted and bowed down to the sweet potatoes and corn piled up like a hill.
"Heaven is auspicious in my Tang Dynasty, and the people of the world will live up to the good will of God, and call the people of the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, with plenty of food and clothing・・・・・・"
Li Er said a long time, it can be said that the tears were in his eyes, and the content was to boost the confidence of the people, warn ambitious people, God is all for helping him, you don't have those thoughts, and finally on behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty, thank the little fairy Yanglin who brought auspicious rui to the world, I have to say that Yanglin feels quite cool when he is worshiped by Li Eryi, but the hateful camera stayed in Chengqian Palace, otherwise Yanglin will definitely record this very important moment in history.
"Palm lamp, please enter the long table banquet."
At the end of Li Er's solo performance, Yang Lin gave an order, and the boys of all families put forward big lanterns, hanging them on the bamboo poles on the edge of the cement barn like flowing water, when a string of lanterns rose in the barn field, the whole barn was illuminated as daytime, and dozens of large tables with a dazzling variety of different kinds of food appeared in front of everyone, Yanglin's favorite thing to play was a shock, when a few mouthfuls of cauldrons full of pig-killing vegetables were carried to the top of the field by the strong man, it was really a sudden sound of saliva, and thousands of swallows came to the face!
"Boundary, how to eat in the realm?" Li Er didn't move yet, an old man dressed gorgeously rushed to the table first, since the minister in charge of the demeanor did not blame the old man for losing his manners, Yang Lin guessed that this person was probably the emperor Li Yuan, Li Er's show was more for Li Yuan's old dynasty forces, and the old guy was not necessarily so hungry that he didn't care about his image, but pretended to be funny to resolve the embarrassment.
Yanglin gave Li Er a long face, this dazzling array of dishes, as many as a hundred kinds, even if it is the inner government, it may not be able to buy it, and then smell the vegetables, and the palace is completely on two levels, Li Er, who came to Wangjia Village for the first time, could not imagine that it was just such a small village, and there was such a big energy, and the diet of more than 1,000 people could still be so varied, with all colors, flavors, and flavors.
"The emperor is here, so naturally he wants to drink the soup, so take the dishes and chopsticks." Yang Lin got Li Er's eyes, naturally knew how to act next, I was really afraid that these ministers would eat too hard and break their stomachs, so Yang Lin designed a big pot of pig-killing dishes, pork offal soup, first drink hot soup to warm the stomach and then start eating, a moment later, several large baskets of bowls and chopsticks were carried up by the villagers, Yanglin took a pair and handed it to Li Yuan, picked up a long spoon, and scooped a spoonful of fragrant pork offal soup into Li Yuan's bowl.
"The Emperor Taishang drank the soup, please eat it from beginning to end." Yang Lin pointed to a long square table, signaling Li Yuan to eat from beginning to end, what to eat when he saw it, such a toss, this order of appearance was naturally formed, the second place was of course Li Er, took the soup bowl Li Er gave Yang Lin an approving look and took his own bowl and chopsticks to the side to drink the soup, the third is the eldest grandson, who also gave Yang Lin an approving look and walked towards Li Er with the soup bowl, Li Chengqian in the fourth place felt a little like crying, because he had eaten too much, and his stomach was very full now, The dazzling array of dishes aroused his appetite very much, and he regretted that he shouldn't have listened to the second brother! There should be as much in the stomach as there is left.
The royal family, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Yuguan led the bowl and chopsticks to Yanglin to fill a bowl of soup here, and then ate from this end of the long table to that end, there are too many kinds of dishes, even if it is the same bite, one person can not eat all kinds of dishes, those empty vegetable bowls will be replaced by villagers immediately, and the people behind don't have to worry about not being able to eat at all, everyone hates their stomachs too small, like Yu Chi Gongcheng bites Jin, a big man like Yu Chi Gongcheng bites Jin, one person eats the amount of two people else, Of course, after these top bigwigs have eaten once, the second- and third-grade civil and military officials with a relatively large base finally ate all the stored food when they came up, and they also discussed which dish was the most delicious, which dish was the best-looking, and when the waiters and guards came on the field, they could only consciously hold a big bowl of rice, and lined up in several cauldrons full of pig-killing vegetables, and finally each person played a spoonful of pig-killing vegetables and went down to eat Haisai beautifully.
"Remove the table, clear the table, serve moon cakes, fruit wine, stools and chairs."
A feast with more than 100 kinds of delicacies has made the civil and military officials dumbfounded, after enjoying the first food feast in their lives, many adults want to chant a poem to express their admiration, such as the big wet man Cheng bites the gold and writes the famous sentence 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, you eat duck and I eat chicken'. But this is not the end, and everyone has basically eaten almost, with Yanglin's order, a plate of beautifully placed moon cakes was served, and a jar of fruit wine with a slightly sweet and sour taste was put on the table, which completely aroused the poetry of the minister of civil and military affairs, and a full feast under the moon, and the atmosphere of fruit wine with moon cakes was formed in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Yanglin did not use distillation to increase the degree of the wine, but only assigned the villagers to pick all the ripe fruits from the nearby mountains back to make low-alcohol liquor that is more like vinegar, these fruits are ripe, and if they are not picked, they will fall on the ground and rot.
"Do you have treasures in Wangjia Village? can make out these endless eating. Li Yuan was old, his teeth had fallen out a lot, and his speech was a little slurred, but Yang Lin could only barely understand what he said.
"Let Village Chief Wang answer this question!" Yang Lin retreated to the side with a faint smile and poured fruit wine for Li Erchangsun and others one by one, and Wang Shouren, the village chief in his mouth, also appeared in front of Li Yuan and Li Shimin under his shouting.
