005 snacks and talents
Yang Jun was already full of wine and food, Su You was already staggering, everyone left a lot of garbage, slowly cleaned up the tent curtains, soft straw mats and other things, and started to go on the road again.
The laughter and laughter of the soldiers also increased, in ancient times, the ordinary people only ate breakfast and lunch, but these people were stained with the light of Yang Xuan, not only ate lunch, but also ate delicious, the kind of superior satisfaction and pride swelled at a high speed with the sound of talking and laughing, the car was light and fast, and every step was not dusty.
Su You was tired enough, mainly because of the experience last night that frightened him inexplicably, and in the next half a day, he was overdrawn under the bumps of the carriage and the fire of cooking; Although the car was still bumping, Su You fell asleep in the chirping of Shisu and Qingjing. - Su You has already changed the carriage at this time, and Zisu and Qingjing are afraid that they will become his cooks; Apparently, he has already received the treatment of "chef".
"Get off, get off." The call in his ears woke up Su You, and he habitually looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock, of course this was the time to stay, Su You didn't have to think about it to know that he had arrived in Lintong. ββThis is the last stop to Chang'an, and it is also the first stop out of Chang'an.
The streets here are still bustling, and the main colors of pedestrians are still earthy yellow and gray. A bit of the mood before the reform and opening up of New China, yellow is the military uniform, from the emperor's officials to the soldiers' household clothing is mainly yellow, the difference is only that the emperor's clothes have an extra thirteen-ring buckle, there are gold, there are iron.
Su You got out of the car with everyone in a daze, entered a separate two-entry courtyard, and after settling Yang Yun and his female dependents in the backyard, he and the soldiers cleaned up the front yard for a long time, and when they wanted to rest for a while after wiping off their stinky sweat, they saw Shangde coming.
Su You tidied up his clothes, thinking that Yang Jian wanted to see him, but he took him directly into the kitchen.
Thinking about his wishful thinking, Su You couldn't help laughing, and then returned from indignation to calm. Thinking that he is just a homeless person, the gap is like the president and the cleaner, will the president be interested in knowing the name of a cleaner? Besides, everyone Qian Lao has such an awareness, "If you eat delicious eggs, you don't need to know the hen that lays eggs", so you can be the hen that lays eggs silently.
"If you come, you will be safe", Su You didn't have any idea for a while, just take a cool ride under the big tree of Yang Yun, what is it to be a cook for a few days? At least no one here will suspect him of being a murderer, and no one will come to check his "appearance".
After Su You made up his mind, he finally had the consciousness of officially becoming a cook. When he was making sauce for steamed carp, he heard a commotion outside the courtyard, and it turned out to be a visitor.
Su You looked from a distance in the kitchen, and saw a tall and fat young man leading a few guards into the small courtyard, but he said, "Child, I didn't expect it, I walked in front of the eldest brother again." β
"Haha, Brother Wang came so fast, the younger brother was just waiting by the river for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet here; The younger brother has just got a good cook, and the eldest brother must stay and eat together. Yang Xuan held his brother Yang Zhao's arm, and the appearance of the two could be described as intimate.
Su You looked at the two big fat men who entered the hospital together with a smile, secretly thinking that these were Yang Guang's two sons. I can't help but think of the great man of White Camel Mountain, who said, "The people of our country are rich in people, healthy and happy, and the happiness index is the second in the world." β
If the great man could represent the whole country, the truth would be as he said. So a fat face suddenly appeared in Su You's head: Jin Da Fat, Jin Er Fat, Jin San Fat...... Of course, the glittering Juche idea is indispensable.
The two of them entered the house, and Shangde also came to the kitchen, naturally telling Su You to cook well. At that time, the two-meal system was adopted to adapt to the agricultural life habit of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset". Breakfast is around seven o'clock, and it is eaten more because it has to cope with the heavy agricultural production labor, which is called "big food"; At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I ate again, because it was going to be dark and I couldn't go to work anymore, so I ate less, which was called "snack".
At that time, the three-meal system was only popular among the upper classes and scholars, and the princes also had three meals a day, and only four meals for the royal family. In the Western Han Dynasty, the holy decree to the king of Huainan who rebelled and was exiled specifically pointed out, "subtract three meals a day to two meals". After the Song Dynasty, the common people only ate three meals a day, which was attributed to the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty, except that the wine shops were no longer as confined to the middle of the market as in the Tang Dynasty, and the night market did not implement a curfew at night, and the nightlife was rich at night, so a dinner was added. As far as marriage is concerned, after decades of turmoil in the Three Kingdoms, China's total population has dropped from 40 million to more than 20 million, so the tradition of women remarrying has also become sparse.
In terms of cultural attributes, traditional culture is often defeated in the face of political and economic culture.
The sun was approaching the western mountains, and the people of the whole city were eating the second "snack", Yang Er's soldiers and ruffians were eating the last meal, and when the two brothers were about to eat the third meal, Su You could only prepare food for them hungry.
What is embarrassing is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there is no chili pepper in this era, there is no soy sauce, the kitchen is burning firewood, in the midsummer season, in the sauna days in the Kansai region, a dish has not been burned, and Su You is already sweating profusely. Fortunately, Su You can summon a lot of people, or rather, these people are all here to spy on him.
Yang Er and his brother each brought their wives, and four tables were placed in the hall in pairs. It means that Su You has to prepare four portions of each dish, but fortunately, the steamed fish he originally made was four tails, which was intended for Yang Er and his wife to have two each, and now they can still get one each.
At this moment, Su You finally realized that he should still focus on "fine" and "less" in cooking, and any delicious things will become garbage if they are supported to death. Thinking about his thoughts, Su You was a little forgetful for a while, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks could also carry it, of course, the premise was that they understood the principles of mechanics.
The principle of mechanics, how wonderful, the people of the island people have found a theoretical basis for "Jiu-Jitsu" to be explained by "mechanics", so "Jiu-Jitsu" has become "Judo", and Chinese martial arts, which have no theoretical basis, have to become "dance".
Su Youzheng was smirking and thinking about "mechanics", while cutting vegetables mechanically, the white and green filaments were piled up under his knife like a work of art, Shang De looked eager to try, and was afraid of cutting his hand, so he only said to Su You, "The style of the food, the smell of the food, are all excellent, and the taste must be good." "It's a pity that my level is not enough, and I haven't tasted the taste of the vegetable at this time, and I am a little embarrassed when I say it.
"That is, of course, you have to pay attention to the color and fragrance of cooking, and when you look at and smell it, you already feel that it is beautiful and delicious, and you have an appetite when you eat." Su You used the very simple theory of the later life to appeal to this child, and the latter verified it with previous experience, and nodded.
"Sir, will you make some cooking?" Qingjing also joined in the excitement on the side.
"Guess what? - So, let me tell me, can you listen? Steamed lamb... Steamed bear's paw... Steamed deer tail... Roast duck roasted chicken... Roasted goose ...... "It's also strange to say, in the past, Su You tried to memorize the "Name of the Dish", but he always couldn't memorize much and got stuck, but today he said sixty or seventy dishes in one breath, the voice was slow and fast, and the Shaanxi accent was sandwiched in the Beijing accent, although the sound was not loud, but it was like a calm pond in the kitchen, and a group of small chefs and those who worked down all looked at Su You, as if they had seen a rare monster.
But after all, these dishes also include animals in the water or something, but in ancient times, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and animal offal was not counted as an ingredient, but almost all of them were peeled and disemboweled,ββ so cleaned, it was called "carcass". Later, in many martial arts novels, it was written that "there was an almost perfect carcass lying on the bed" (used to describe the girl on the bed) - is the girl who has been disemboweled and her internal organs removed?
Su You thought of the legend about Li Shen in the Tang Dynasty, who wrote a popular poem called "Hoe He". Later, he was admitted to the Jinshi, starting from the assistant teacher of the country, the official to the prime minister, and was named the Duke of Zhao.
After Li Shen developed, he was extremely extravagant, he loved to eat chicken tongue, and consumed more than 300 live chickens per meal, and the chickens slaughtered in the back of the courtyard were piled up. Of course, this legend has been involved in Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and whether or not the shameless literati poured dirty water on these "great Guangzheng" big men; At least Su You can find that the mouths of the ancients are still extremely tricky, or in other words, the moral gentleman was finally defeated by the food, and really responded to the phrase "food and color, sex also".
"What are you doing, you guys one by one, I mean, I won't know what I said above. I'll just make a fish and a purple melon. Shangde once again comprehended Su You's "eating and vomiting".
"As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Su You muttered, in fact, he didn't believe in himself anymore, who let himself be impulsive and actually play a treasure like this? Don't get carried away, a gentleman must be cautious in his words and deeds, Su You admonished himself and smiled helplessly.
The dish was quickly ready, and there were only three dishes. - "Steamed crucian carp" and "fish-flavored eggplant", "cabbage sum in soup".
Needless to say, the last dish of "cabbage sum in soup" is the most tender section of cabbage sum, soaked in soup, placed in a fan-shaped shape on the plate, and then hit with thin thickeners.
When Su You went to the main hall to serve food with trepidation, he couldn't help but secretly observe the etiquette of the court, and then felt more and more that he was far from them
