Chapter 12 Northern Song Dynasty Cuisine

The sound of cheerful footsteps broke the silence between the two, and an angry maid suddenly appeared behind Zhao Liang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Miss! Why are you entangled by him again! The maid quickly stood between the two, spread her arms and firmly protected Su Ning behind her, and stared at Zhao Liang's every move vigilantly.

Wenzhu is Su Ning's personal maid, and the school palace stipulates that servants are not allowed to accompany her to school, so she has to wait quietly outside the palace.

She doesn't like Zhao Liang, and thinks that Miss won't like it either, because no one will like an idle gentleman, as Miss's personal maid, she needs to help Miss get rid of Zhao Liang's harassment, and pay attention to Miss's safety when necessary, so at this moment she resolutely rushed out.

"Zhao Gongzi, my young lady said that she was not ruthless with you, why are you pestering! If you are still like this today, I will tell my lord to go and reason with the emperor!" ”

Wenzhu's voice was as pleasant as a yellow bird, and although the speed of speech was very urgent, every word made Zhao Liang hear it clearly.

Without the memory of this life, Zhao Liang naturally didn't know the girl in front of him, but listening to the girl's tone, the girl must have come to him to clear the relationship but was embarrassed to speak, so he waited speechlessly until now.

All right! Gotta clean up another mess!

A little lost in his heart, Zhao Liang touched his nose, glanced at the girl with a weak heart, and found that she was also secretly looking at himself.

Su Ning looked at Zhao Liang expressionlessly, her curved eyelashes blinked frequently, and her mouth made a crisp voice like a wind chime: "Zhao Gongzi, feelings should not be too forced, because some of them will never be out of reach, and some may not belong to you in their lives, do you understand?" ”

This is said very clearly, but it is expressed very tactfully, highlighting the meaning that I don't like you, don't pester me in the future, and even if she doesn't say this, she can achieve her goal, because Zhao Liang has lost his memory.

Zhao Liang was stunned for a few seconds, then touched the back of his head awkwardly, and chuckled: "I'm sorry, I recently lost my memory, and I forgot all the previous things......"

Looking at Su Ning's smart eyes, Zhao Liang really couldn't think of how to answer, so he simply found an excuse to prevaricate for the time being.

Su Ning didn't have any expression, Wen Zhu was deeply stunned, she was not stunned by Zhao Liang's words, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless and use amnesia to escape the topic.

Of course, Zhao Liang's words Wenzhu will not believe it, even if it is true, it will become a lie when it comes out of his mouth, because people who don't believe in you will be useless if you say anything.

After a while, Wen Zhu's face turned red, she took Su Ning's hand and left, passing by Zhao Liang's side, she stomped her feet angrily and said, "Shameless! Mademoiselle will never like you! Wait for me! Hum! ”

Quite a handsome girl, she is still really ugly when she starts her temper, Zhao Liang spread her hands, pouted and posed as indifferent, ignoring Wenzhu's fierce gaze.

Su Ning didn't care about the truth or falsity of Zhao Liang's words, she followed Wenzhu closely, not looking at Zhao Liang, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhao Liang took a deep breath and shook his head depressedly: "You really can't tell the truth to women."

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Liang turned around and wanted to look for Li Zhong, but Zhu Datou suddenly jumped out from under his nose, and said with a gloomy face: "You know him"

Zhao Liang was startled, hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, and explained casually: "How is it possible!" People think I'm just in the way, yes! Who is she? ”

Zhao Liang didn't notice how long Zhu Datou had been coming, but looking at his strange face, Zhao Liang pondered that he definitely couldn't tell him the truth, anyway, it was just nonsense.

Zhu Datou squinted at Zhao Liang and didn't find anything abnormal, so he smiled and said, "I'll just say it!" No matter how you look at you, you are not as handsome as me, how can you know Su Lingling! I just said that the girl who was admitted to Konomiya was her, but I didn't expect it! ”

Su Lingling? Isn't the girl Su Ning?

Zhao Liang was stunned, after hearing the girl's words, his first reaction was Su Ning, because Queen Zhou had mentioned her, but now Zhu Datou said that the girl was Su Lingling, which made him a little confused, could it be that he had pursued more than one woman?

It seems that it is a big deal!

Crying and laughing, Zhao Liang has a strong feeling, if this is in modern times, he must be the most beautiful city manager, whoever calls the mess has to clean up it!

…………………………………………………………

After leaving the East Xuanmen Gate and finding Yuanqing outside the palace gate, the group began to look for a tavern in the streets and alleys.

At this time, it was the time when business was at its most prosperous, and people on the street were shouting and neighing, some were riding alone, and some were sitting in tall carriages and walking slowly, but the most were people like Zhao Liang who walked and called friends.

Li Zhong led everyone into an inconspicuous alley, walking along the bluestone slab for hundreds of steps, suddenly bright in front of him, a tavern is quietly located not far away, it looks like an old man, simple and solemn.

"Want to know how Brother Zhong found this tavern?" Zhu Datou looked at Zhao Liang with a curious face and said.

"Let's hear it," Zhao Liang said with interest.

Zhu Datou walked to the tavern and said: "That year, we were admitted to the Jixia School Palace, we were shy and had nowhere to go before the results were released, and the taverns in Kaifeng were generally expensive, and finally we ran to every corner of the city to find this cheap tavern in the alley. ”

"It's really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!" Zhao Liang patted Li Zhong on the shoulder, and couldn't help but smile with emotion.

Zhu Datou's face froze, then he slapped his hands, suddenly grabbed Zhao Liang's sleeves and said excitedly: "That's true!" Brother Zhao is brilliant, and this sentence will inevitably be passed down through the ages! ”

blurted out the poems of Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty, which attracted Zhu Datou's admiration, Zhao Liang smiled or cried, he could only touch his nose in embarrassment and nod frequently: "It doesn't matter if it stays for eternity, fill your stomach first!" ”

Under Zhu Datou's praise, Zhao Liang lowered his head and walked into the tavern with a red face, and when the cousin inside saw that there were guests, he hurriedly ran to the door, bent down and opened his right hand at the same time, and said with a smile on his face: "Distinguished guests, please!" ”

The shop is very clean, the sandalwood fragrance emitted by the wood smells very good, and there are many customers sitting, and there are many people who are sitting up, and it looks lively.

A few people found an empty table and sat down, and Li Zhong blurted out: "Let's have two pots of wine and a plate of sauce beef first, and then pick up some of today's seasonal ones!" ”

The cousin wiped the table neatly, turned his head and shouted loudly towards the store: "Two pots of rice wine, a plate of sauced beef, and fresh signature dishes......"

After sitting down, Zhao Liang always felt that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he realized that Yuanqing was not seated.

Yuan Qing stood straight behind Zhao Liang, looking like a vivid sculpture from a distance, he did not move or say a word, attracting the sideways glances of many people in the store.

"Brother Yuanqing, what are you doing standing? Everybody's looking at you! There are no nails on the chair, so sit down! Zhao Liang squeezed his eyes at Yuan Qing, suggesting that he didn't have to be like this, there was no danger here, and standing was eye-catching.

Zhao Liang's words attracted Li Zhong's attention, and he looked at Yuan Qing embarrassedly and smiled: "This tavern is a little smaller, but the taste is not bad, if you don't like it, let's change it." ”

Seeing that Li Zhong had misunderstood, Zhao Liang hurriedly got up and held down Yuan Qing and sat down: "Where is it, my eldest brother used to be a guy who ran the hall, and he was not used to it if he didn't stand, so he is not sick now!" ”

Li Zhong looked at Yuan Qing strangely, as if thinking about something: "Really? ”

Yuan Qing, who was full of black lines, naturally couldn't refute, so he had to nod awkwardly, and then sat down crampedly.

After the episode, the meal became active again, and after a while, the wine and beef were served on the table, Zhao Liang carefully took a sip of rice wine, the aroma of alcohol overflowed around the tip of the tongue, and as time became stronger and clearer, he tasted a piece of beef, and the feeling was even stronger, the aroma of beef lasted between the lips and teeth, and the unique taste of the sauce instantly detonated the taste buds.

Don't underestimate this dish of sauce beef, the Northern Song Dynasty is to protect the cattle, the government not only issued a special decree, but also who has a few cattle, how old the teeth are, what is the physical condition of each year, that is all filed in the government, so the slaughter of the cattle will definitely eat in prison, of course, the beef is not completely inedible, such as the old age and illness or the accident to the death of the cattle, after the official autopsy, it is not that it cannot be eaten, but it is relatively rare.

Addicted to eating, Zhu Datou raised his wine and said with a smile: "At this moment, I want to chant a poem again!" I don't know if it's possible? ”

Hearing that Zhu Datou was going to compose a poem again, Li Zhong was so frightened that he trembled like a sieve, and his hands trembled and even his chopsticks fell to the ground.

Zhao Liang rolled his eyes inwardly, and the beef in his mouth was chewing: "Let's listen first!" ”

"Don't ......"

Before Li Zhong could stop it in time, Zhu Datou had already spoken: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll be ugly!" ”

Raising his head and drinking the wine in the cup, Zhu Datou shamelessly ate a piece of beef, and then said vaguely: "One piece"

After finishing speaking, his eyes were glazed, and he stared at the beef for a long time without moving!

"And then?" Zhao Haoqi blinked widely, and couldn't help but speak.

Under Li Zhong's uneasy gaze, Zhu Datou ate another piece of beef, and said unhurriedly: "Two slices of ......"

"Isn't it poetry! What to eat with whole beef! ”

Zhao Liang was anxious, what kind of poetry is this! It's clearly cheating to eat and drink!

And Zhu Datou didn't seem to hear him speak, he still picked up two slices of beef in a row, chewed it slowly, and said, "Three or four slices of ......."

Looking at the grinding Zhu Datou, Zhao Liang was annoyed for a while, and then urged impatiently: "Can you say hurry up?" Wait until you eat! ”

Zhu Datou's face was a little embarrassed: "That's good!" I'll try it as much as I can! ”

After that, Zhu Datou had to eat a piece of beef every time he said a number, and as the beef became less and less, Zhu Datou ate faster and faster.

"Five, six, seven, eight"

……

"Nine Pieces, Ten Pieces, Eleven Pieces"

The beef on the plate was exhausted, Zhu Datou burped, and sighed back to taste: "I can't see it in my stomach!" ”

"Hurry up!" Zhu Datou was shy and shy, panting and chuckling.

Looking at the plate that looked like it had been licked by a dog, Zhao Liang's cheeks couldn't help twitching, and he didn't react for a long time.

You can't see it in your stomach, this is the poem you made? You made such a limerick poem as a student of the Jixia School Palace? If it weren't for the fact that you were a little fatter than me, a little taller than me, and a little more able to eat than me, I would have beaten you to death right now, and then filled the kitchen with food, so that you would not have eaten until you were in your stomach.

The most feared thing still happened, and Li Zhong had to come out to help play the round: "Big head, it's this kind of person, every time he uses this trick to cheat and cheat, don't you mind!" ”

Don't look at Li Zhong's age, he has already cultivated to perfection, which makes Zhao Liang embarrassed to bury him.

"It's okay, I'm actually not hungry," Zhao Liang said with a pretended smile on his conscience.

"That's good! That's good! ”

Li Zhong glanced at Zhao Liang apologetically, and then glared at Zhu Datou fiercely.

And Zhu Datou drooped his head, and his eyes quickly looked away, and he didn't know if it was intentional.

I'm hungry, but who calls me cheap, it seems that I'm still a little younger!

Zhao Liang drank rice wine to satisfy his hunger, and complained in his heart that he would not listen to Zhu Datou's poems if he was killed in the future, unless he went to the buffet, he could still consider it.

After a while, other dishes finally filled the table one after another: "red oil and green bamboo shoots, hemp nuts, pointed ears, stir-fried elbows, vegetarian phoenix tails, Sixi meatballs......"

The perfect combination of oil and ingredients, the pursuit of color, flavor and taste, the Song people's desire for food, not only to satisfy the appetite, but also represents an attitude towards the pursuit of a better life.

The signature dish is honey fish bones, Zhao Liang blinked and looked, the small fish on the plate, golden with milky white, and then take a closer look, the milky white color seems to be carved from tofu, the golden light is carefully boiled with nectar, clamped with wooden chopsticks, the honey is connected with the white fish silk, chew slowly, the sweet taste of the nectar has penetrated into the depths of the "fish", it seems that it is made by soaking the nectar and then steaming.

Although most of the dishes are made of ingredients, they are also very delicate and fragrant, and those who watch it can't help but want to eat it.

"Eat it, everyone! The taste here is definitely no worse than Zuimenglou! ”

Zhu Datou couldn't wait to move his chopsticks, Li Zhong didn't let it go when he saw this, Zhao Liang smiled and didn't say anything, and silently served the honey bone fish

……

The stunned two met Zhao Liang's contemptuous gaze and were speechless for a long time.
