Chapter 292 The First Tang Food and Culture Festival (1)
"Hello everyone, welcome to our company's annual meeting, for your love, I hereby change the name of the annual meeting to Datang Food and Culture Festival."
What Yang Heng didn't expect was that he didn't say a word clearly, and he actually asked the shareholders to send the strongest family food making masters to compete for food, but Yang Heng didn't want to see the shareholders disagree, and because he didn't know who leaked the news, it attracted people from all walks of life to visit and taste, so okay, just hold a food festival by the way.
"Do you know, how our ancestors ate in the first place, by the way, Ru Mao drank blood, hundreds of millions of years ago, our ancestors did not use fire, so they had to drink blood, this is evidenced by the text "Rites, Rites" has said, 'There is no cremation, eat the food of plants and trees, the flesh of birds and beasts, drink its blood, Ru its hair, no hemp silk, and clothing its feathers.' Naturally, we won't come to Rumao to drink blood today, but we still have a delicacy transformed from our ancestors, what is it, by the way, we don't get tired of eating. ”
The so-called derogatory term of Lao Kong at the beginning of the fine period, but later it seems to have become a representative of food, in fact, Yang Heng is not very opposed to eating well and drinking well, which mainly depends on how this thing came about.
"Don't get tired of eating, take the essence of its grains and fruits, since we want to drink blood with Ru Mao, then our food is not tired of drinking fruit wine," fruit red wine, Yang Heng can really live in vain, but it's not bad, isn't this worthy of drinking blood, and the ancestor of this fruit wine is monkey wine. That is not tired of being fine, "Li Ji, Internal Rules" is the fleshy and fine. Naturally, it's sashimi.
So. The first thing that appeared on the scene was a few chefs who were making a fish. I saw that each chef was wearing a white coat and a high hat provided by Yang Heng, and they were cutting sashimi manually, and the knives in their hands were also provided by Yang Heng, and the fish was fresh fish frozen with ice cubes. While everyone was intoxicated, the fish fillet had been cut, and then a group of flower-like maids held a pot of wine on a tray, and a plate of fish fillets was delivered to the people present.
Sweet wine with fishy, another flavor, everyone who only eats nods, although it is not a good taste, but it is also a kind of artistic conception, isn't it?
Just as people were tasting the fish tart, the chefs on the field had already changed a batch. Even the kitchen utensils have been replaced, and a row of iron frames has been erected. Several chefs are roasting whole lamb in front of an iron rack.
"Our ancestors in the process of fighting heaven and earth, finally passed the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, there is a sense of God in the ancestors of the hard work, especially sent down the Suiren clan to drill the flint to make fire to send fire to the ancestors to use, so the ancestors entered a new era, that is, the era of fire, "Han Feizi Five Worms" said: "The people eat fruit and clams, the smell of the fish and hurt the stomach, and the people have many diseases. There was a saint who drilled a flint to make a fire to dispel the fishy face...... 'The next big dish is roasted whole sheep.' ”
Naturally, this roasted whole sheep is not the legendary roasted whole sheep, but a roasted whole sheep with various spices, when someone sent a variety of spices, Yang Heng was stunned to find that this refined salt is also one of the expensive seasonings, he has never known that salt is also a very rare item in the Tang Dynasty, no wonder in some novels it is said that Cheng Fairy is from selling smuggled salt.
If you want to say how Yang Heng ate when he first came, this, he was really careless, he only paid attention to those foods, and did not pay attention to these small things, when he needed to pay attention, life at home was already better, when someone asked him what kind of salt he needed to buy, he actually asked them to buy the best, as a result, the result was so shocking, it seems that this salt industry is also promising, so he wrote down a kind of money-making business.
"Boy, why don't you give chopsticks to this roasted whole sheep." "Chopsticks, the ancestors don't know how to use chopsticks at this time, and this is to grasp the whole sheep by hand, and it is fragrant to eat it by tearing it with your hands."
When Yang Heng was talking to Fairy Cheng, everyone was looking at Fairy Cheng with contempt, or saying in their hearts, it's terrible to be uneducated, didn't you find that the theme of this banquet is the evolution of Chinese food. Yes, yes, it is really easy for a clear-eyed person to understand Yang Heng's thoughts from Yang Heng's meaning.
With the consumption of roasted whole sheep, people found that this kitchenware was replaced again, and this time there were several large urns, needless to say, this is to eat boiled food.
"With the use of fire, the ancestors have slowly not satisfied with only eating barbecue food, so, pottery also came into being, and then not only there is boiled food, but also there is wine this drink, where does this come from, you can refer to the word, that is, the word of Yang's Li, by the way, not the current word, but the word of the Jin Wen or the word on the Zhong Ding Wen, you see, this is not a person holding a wine jar, according to my understanding, this is a person holding a wine jar, In other words, with the advent of pottery, not only cooked delicacies but also fine sake appeared. ”
"This, Xuewen, where did you get this explanation?" Soon, Lao Li Gang raised an objection. "Hehe, I guess, what do you think the original meaning of this word is, Master Li?" Yang Heng kicked the ball back into Lao Li Gang's arms again, he didn't want to explain to Lao Li Gang, this word was his explanation in the eyes of later generations, and even said the oracle bone inscription, who knows if the oracle bone inscription was found at this time?
"This, Han Xu Shen really hasn't explained the origin of this word, maybe you know, where do I have the word of the ancestors, there is this word in it, it really looks like a person holding a wine jar." Well, this is Tang Jian, he likes to collect some strange things, maybe he will have oracle bones there.
"Really, when will I come to your house?" "Haha, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I welcome Master Li to the house as a guest." At that time, Tang Jian was overjoyed, and he felt very face-saving to let Li Gang, the great god, take the initiative to come to the door.
Seeing that everyone did not raise any more objections, Yang Heng also pinched a sweat, who knows who made up this in the future, how to explain this word, who can say it clearly, this is a matter of public saying that the public is right, in short, everything is based on speculation, but there is no way to find the ancestors to verify it, or everyone does not want to refute Yang Heng's face, this is always a drinking party, not a text debate.
Hurriedly, as soon as Yang Heng waved his hand, all the maids came out with the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for everyone present, and even these maids did not go back, but stood aside and poured wine at any time.
And what Weng Zhong cooked, there are eight treasure porridge, there is also minced meat, this is just a process of food, naturally everyone will not force any food, but although this thing is not very good-looking, but it tastes very fragrant, you must know that this is the specialty of several chefs, otherwise their master would not have sent them.
"Haha, it's so lively, what did I miss?" Li Er was late.
Although Li Er was late, Yang Heng did not forget to leave a place for Li Er, and immediately a maid led Li Er's group to a main seat on the scene, that is to say, no matter whether Li Er came or not, this seat still had to be set aside for him, but there was no food on this seat.
"Whatever you eat, give me a portion." Li Er himself opened his mouth first, "Your Majesty, do you want to let the slave come and try it." A eunuch behind him whispered, "No need, these are all people I trust, you go down." Li Er waved his hand very generously, and let the eunuch go down, he believed that it was impossible for Yang Heng to harm him, since he had reserved a seat, then naturally this security guard would also pay attention to it, besides, let you try it, can I still eat hot food, isn't this what I came out for.
This, Li Er really thought right, it was Yuzhang and Changle who served him food, why, this Yang Heng was also worried that Li Er wouldn't believe him, so he had to trouble the two sisters. (To be continued......)
