Chapter Eighty-Six: Sweet and Sour Fish
I ask for a collection, a recommended ticket!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was unfathomable, and it seemed that he had really picked up the treasure, but now he thought about it and felt that the fifty percent profit was a little distressing!
Li Yan stayed in the kitchen and asked the blister to help him recognize some of the ingredients of this era. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but not bad, in addition to salt, there are plums, vinegar, sugar and other condiments for cooking, although there are some speculations in the delicious restaurant, but it is also a surprise to confirm here.
Salt and plums have been used as condiments in ancient China. "Shangshu? "Saying Destiny" has: "bitter work and soup, only salt and plum" record; "The Book of Rites: Internal Rules" contains: "Peach Zhumei Zhuzhu Egg Salt"; "The Book of Poetry: Zhou Nan" cloud: "There are plums, in fact, seven Xi!" βγ The records of the above-mentioned ancient books show that in ancient times, plums and salt were indispensable condiments, and the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" compiled by Qin Xiangpin Buwei at the end of the Warring States Period has the discussion of "blending things, must be sweet, sour, bitter, bitter and salty, how many in order, and their Qi is very small, all have their own beginnings", "salty but not reduced", which more specifically talks about the conditioning methods of salty and sour.
Vinegar also has a long history. Vinegar, the ancient Chinese character for "ι ’", also known as "ι―". "Zhou Li" has a record of "Liquor Palm Liquor", which can confirm that vinegar has been eaten in the Western Zhou Dynasty in China. Jinyang (now Taiyuan) is one of the birthplaces of vinegar in China, the history is said that there was a vinegar workshop in Jinyang in the 8th century BC, and it spread throughout the city and countryside in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Zuo Biography" Zhao Gong 20 years: Yan Zi used cooking as a metaphor for politics, "Harmony is like soup, water, fire, salt, and plum are used to cook fish and meat, and it is used for salary." "Let's just look at what he said about cooking, the condiments used are "ι―, ι’, salt, plum", ι―, "Shuowen Jiezi", which is interpreted as acid, and "Modern Chinese Dictionary", which is interpreted as vinegar.
Among the various condiments, the only one that has a special domestic tome research monograph is probably sugar. Mr. Ji Xianlin, a famous scholar, once wrote a 700,000-word "History of Sugar", which gave a very in-depth discussion on the ins and outs of sugar and the origin of its development and dissemination in China. The use of sugar products can be seen from the "Book of Songs" about 3,000 years ago, such as "Zhou Yuan is full of flesh, and violet is like syrup". In the Book of Books, which was written around the time of the Warring States period, there is a phrase that "crops make sweetness", which can be interpreted to mean that people at that time had already understood the method of making sugar from starch.
After Li Yan recognized the various ingredients, he asked the cooking master to stand aside, saying that he was going to make a dish and let him do it.
The cooking master was a little puzzled when he saw Li Yan inquiring about the ingredients for cooking, and when he heard that he was going to cook again, he was even more puzzled, and at the same time showed a trace of disdain, such a young boy can still cook? Although blisters are a very low-level profession in this era, he still has a little pride in himself as a blister. Such a young boy should have never entered the kitchen yet, he came to cook for himself, looked down on his own small things, and smashed his own brand!
"You ......"
He wanted to scold Li Yan a few words, but when he saw Li Yan's movements, as soon as a word came out, he automatically closed his mouth, and turned into a surprised expression, saying that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but this son is dignified, how can he have such skilled cooking skills? What he never dreamed of was that all men in the 21st century are chefs, and basically men cook at home, so he has developed a superb skill.
Although Li Yan is not married yet, he has already practiced the ability to cook and eat for his girlfriend. His girlfriend likes to eat fish, so he learned to cook all kinds of fish, such as sauerkraut fish, boiled fish, sweet and sour fish, steamed fish, and his girlfriend has a mouthpiece, so his cooking skills are also excellent. When he was in the army, he was often shown as a foreign aid in cooking competitions, and he often won awards.
I saw Li Yan chop and fry the plums as tomatoes into a puree, count them as tomato sauce, and make a sweet and sour fish after a while. Li Yan brought this sweet and sour fish to the blister master, the blister looked at the color of the fish, and then smelled its fragrance from a distance, he couldn't help but move his index finger, the color and fragrance were already good, but he didn't know his taste, he looked at Li Yan, Li Yan nodded, and then he picked up a piece of fish meat at the tail of the fish and put it in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed slowly with his eyes closed, the process was extremely slow, and he wanted to enjoy the beauty of this taste experience, which was an indescribable joy for a blister, just like a martial artist seeing a peerless martial art, and a musician hearing a peerless music.
Just when Li Yan was making this sweet and sour fish, the middle-aged boss ordered someone to hang up the notice requested by Li Yan, and he was personally present to shout and explain. A few guys are also scrambling to go out to solicit customers, a copper coin is not a small amount, only twenty copper a month.
After a while, the notice was full of people, and many people who were going to go to the delicious restaurant opposite were also curious, as soon as they heard about a new dish, everyone had a chance to go for free, and they had the idea of going to this elegant house, not to mention the warm hospitality of the guys, I'm sorry, isn't it? So, the first guest entered Qingyaju.
With the first, there is the second, people have a herd mentality, and they have the idea of taking advantage of a small advantage, and it is just a pillar of incense, half of the people in the living room are seated, of course, most of them are still looking outside the door, they want to see if there is really a free opportunity, whether anyone will get it for free, and they listen to the evaluation of the new dish by the people who have eaten.
After the first guest came out satisfied, the guests watching from the door surrounded him and asked, "Is it really okay not to have money?" How does the new dish taste? β
I only heard this man say: "The contemptible person is fortunate to have drawn a free lot, and this meal can be said to have not cost a single copper coin!" In addition, no money is secondary, the most important thing is this new dish, in a word, you can't say enough about the beauty of it, you can try it! β
These people who were waiting, so to speak, "boom", went inside, but the door was too small, and everyone squeezed in, but they were all blocked at the door, and it was the boss who maintained order to get in. In a moment, the living room was full, the upstairs private room was full, and there were people waiting outside the door.
