Chapter 111: The Jade Plate Delicacies Straight Ten Thousand Dollars

"The imperial banquet is originally a rare material, and as for the taste, there is nothing special," Nalan Feiya, who has eaten many imperial banquets, explained with a smile.

"The saint is the supreme in the world, rich in the world, this Shangyuan feast of the ministers, the ingredients are naturally precious and scarce, if you take pig and mutton to fool, won't it make people laugh off the big teeth" Dugu Xinci also smiled "For example, this plate is deer tendon, do you know how many deer are needed to make this plate?" A deer only takes the tendons on the front legs, and it takes at least ten heads to make up a plate."

"There is only one plate for ten heads, so how many plates of deer tendon are there at this banquet? How many deer are needed? Du Fu was born in the rich Du Qu, but he was also shocked, "I'm afraid that this plate of deer tendons will cost ten thousand dollars?" ”

"Don't talk about money with the saint royal family," Nalan Feiya also smiled.

"Boy Zimei, since you have entered the sect of Huashi, there are some words to pay attention to" Dugu Xinci began to teach his disciples, but he was lazy, and said to Quan Yiquan, "What should be the correct way to dislike this dish?" ”

Quan Yiquan picked up a piece of deer tendon, chewed a few times, wiped his lips with a piece of white silk cloth, and sighed leisurely, "The three-year-old sika deer in Nanshan drink stream water, and eat the most tender elm leaves, and the meat is the most tender. Fierce fire for half an hour, turn to low heat and simmer for four hours, turn off the fire and wait for it to cool naturally, pick up and cut the sections, mix with Hexi sesame seeds and pepper of the big food, put it on the plate, the deer tendon is modulated by this, complete the transformation from fishy to fragrant, and become the food in the mouth of the Yan and Tang Dynasty who have worked hard for a day, glutinous and soft teeth, the taste is excellent, but it would be better if you add a little refined salt"

Nalan Feiya laughed and trembled when she heard this, and shook her arms with Dugu Xinci.

Du Fu was stunned.

"May I ask if the lord's family has been short of silver lately? Although this refined salt is inconspicuous, it still needs to be kept at home," Quan Yiquan sighed again.

Du Fu couldn't help but taste this plate of deer tendons, it was really bland and tasteless, and the imperial kitchen obviously put less salt.

"This apprentice of yours really has your true inheritance," Nalan Feiya embarrassedly left Dugu Xinci's arms, and said with a smile, "Is there such a ridicule as you?" ”

"Is it reasonable to cook without salt?" Dugu is kind and disdainful.

With this pair of wonderful masters and apprentices, the banquet is not dull and tasteless.

The royal banquet is also like what Dugu Xinci said, only choose the expensive ones and not the right ones, what are the eight treasures of the mountains and the eight treasures of the water, Dugu Xinci eats happily, and speaks casually, Nalan Feiya seems to listen to it, and she seems to laugh but not laugh, but from time to time she enjoys the shrimp that Dugu Xinci peels off the skin and the bear's paw that removes the bones.

"The senior brother said that the eight treasures of the mountain are humps, bear paws, monkey heads, scarlet lips, elephant pulls, leopard fetuses, rhino tails, and deer tendons; Sea Ba Zhen is bird's nest, shark fin, large black cucumber, fish maw, fish bone, abalone, seal, pike; There are red swallows, flying dragons, quail geese, partridges, colored finch, turtle doves, and red-headed eagles;

Grass Bazhen is Hericium erinaceus, white fungus, bamboo sunflower, donkey nest mushroom, morel mushroom, flower mushroom, daylily, Yunxiangxin. What kind of book is this? Du Fu was puzzled.

"Hua Shimen's" took full power to deal with a plate of roasted quails and replied lazily.

"That's what Master Ru and Senior Brother made up," Nalan Fei Ya dismantled the face of an unscrupulous master and apprentice.

"A certain once saw at the Zhou ceremony: treasure eight things, eight treasures. In the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan's annotation said that Bazhen refers to Chun boil, Chun Mu, cannon dolphin, cannon basket, pound Zhen, stain, boil and liver, I don't know the specific point, refers to the method or the ingredients? "Xiao Du Fu is quite a miscellaneous reader.

"That's the practice," Dugu Xinci raised his head and said, "In ancient times, the ingredients and practices were limited, and the eight treasures referred to cows, sheep, elk, deer, horses, pigs, dogs, and wolves, which are not uncommon things today, but at that time, they could also enjoy the temple, and ordinary people could not eat it."

Dugu Xinci gave Nalan Feiya a piece of flying dragon meat, and continued, "For example, this flying dragon meat is a rare thing in Kyoto, and the royal banquet can also be served in a grand manner, called one of the eight treasures of wild birds, and it can be seen everywhere in the Far East in the past few years."

Quan Yiquan nodded, and said casually, "These two years have been a little less,"

"It's not that you've been eaten by Master Ru yet," Nalan Feiya said with a smile.

Think about it and then nod your head.

"You order the head of a mallet, and you eat less than so-and-so?" Dugu is dissatisfied.

"Master, what does it mean to boil?" Xiao Du Fu continued to ask.

"Chun here is the meaning of wo, refers to mixed with animal oil, boil is the meaning of frying, refers to frying meat sauce, Chun boil is to fry the meat sauce, pour it on 6 rice rice, and then mix with the refined animal oil. The flavor of this kind of rice, meat sauce, and fat seeps into the rice, and it has a lot of flavor in one bite, so it doesn't need to be accompanied by another dish, hence the name Chun Boil. "The study of food is thorough, and this point is still difficult to be alone.

Even Nalan Feiya was strange, how could this person even know such a strange knowledge?

"The method of making Junmu is exactly the same as that of Chunmu, but the difference is that the raw material of Junmu's rice is not 6 rice but millet rice. Mother reads the mold here, which means like, that is, it is very similar to Chun Xi. Dugu Xinci continued to explain this week's rites and treasures.

The production process of the cannon dolphin is very complicated: after killing a little pig, the internal organs are removed, the abdominal cavity is filled with dates, the little pig is wrapped with reeds, and then a layer of mud with grass is coated and burned in a fierce fire, this method is called "cannon" in ancient times. After the cannon is finished, peel off the mud, wash the hands, rub off the wrinkled skin formed on the surface of the pig body when firing, and then make a paste with rice flour, coat the whole body of the pig (similar to hanging paste), and then put in the small tripod containing animal oil (animal oil must bury the pig body), put the small tripod into the cauldron containing water, the water surface of the cauldron can not be higher than the edge of the small tripod, so as not to overflow into the tripod. After boiling it for three days and three nights, the piglets are taken out and eaten with meat sauce and vinegar.

The cooking method is exactly the same as that of the porpoise, except that the cannonball is not cooked with piglets, but with baby ewes.

Pounding Zhen is to use the tenderloin of cattle, sheep, elk, deer, roe deer and other animals, after repeated beating, remove the tendons in the meat, after cooking, take out and knead into meat puree and eat. The key requirement of this precious food is that it must be made with tender tenderloin, and it must be beaten repeatedly to remove the tendons, so it is called "pounding".

Pickling is made of freshly slaughtered beef, cut into thin slices, soaked in sake overnight, and then seasoned with meat sauce, plum sauce, vinegar and other seasonings. The key requirements are: the meat must be fresh, cut thinly, and cut horizontally depending on the texture of the meat.

Boiling is to beat beef, venison, elk, and roe deer meat, remove the skin film, spread it on the reed slivers, and then sprinkle ginger, cinnamon and salt noodles, and slowly dry it over low heat. Similar to modern dried meat. This kind of dried meat can be eaten wet and dry, and if you want to eat wet, you can put it in meat sauce and fry it; If you want to eat dry, just beat it loosely.

The production method of liver fat is: take a pair of dog liver, cover it with dog intestinal fat, and put it on the fire with appropriate juice to roast it, so that the fat can penetrate into the liver (knotweed can not be used as a spice when roasting). Then moisten it with rice flour paste, and chop the wolf's interfacial fat, and combine it with rice to make a thick porridge and eat it together.

"I understand" Xiao Du Fu admired it very much, and nodded like pounding garlic.

"In fact, the so-called eight treasures only refer to the rare, eight treasures and eight treasures, eight precious things, the real food is made with ordinary ingredients, you can get it" Dugu Xin is complacent.

"Got it, you foodie" Nalan Feiya sandwiched a piece of scarlet lips for him, and the so-called scarlet lips were nothing more than dried elk skin.

"This thing is still edible, so what kind of leopard fetal monkey brain or the like is exempt, there is a harm to the sky and" Dugu Xinci tasted it, and threw it aside in disgust" The elk is a grassland elf, and it should have the fragrance of wolf tail grass buds, but a certain smelled the smell of wheat straw in the Guanzhong Plain, disappointing the fun, this dish is afraid that it is a product of the forbidden garden, right? ”

Seeing that she was playing treasure again, Nalan Feiya giggled, but said in her mouth, "This is the first person to pick up vegetables for someone other than his parents?" ”

Dugu was very happy, picked up the scarlet lips that had been thrown on the table, took a few mouthfuls, closed his eyes and made a pleasure "Incense, incense, something unimaginable, such a vulgar dish has entered the jade hand so lightly, it has become so fresh and refined, the world is hard, give some ugly people a way to live"

Nalan Feiya laughed and lay down, Du Fu also giggled, and only the master and apprentice clinked glasses and drank without incident.

The imperial banquet serves dry and wine, Dugu Xinci naturally drinks freely, this is rare, last year in Qujiang extorted the saint's several altars have been almost drunk, you have to find a way to continue to get some, how can the east and west market get this imperial banquet elixir?

Nalan Feiya also learned Dugu Xinci to shake the glass cup, looked at the wine beads on the wall, and also became interested, so she pretended to be intoxicated and smelled the wine, and said softly, "Shake the wine from the dry and vineyard estate, just like the wind blows the waves, the wine is a spiritual wine, fresh sour, mellow sweet, elegant bitter, apt spicy, delicate salty, grape fragrance, oak flavor, all contained in the wine, perfect blend." When the essence of natural plants resonates with life, tickles the taste buds, sometimes sharp, sometimes crisp, sometimes tactful, sometimes rich, sometimes high, the soul becomes soft. ”

"Master, you have understood the essence of pretending" Dugu Xinci applauded, who has all the power to follow, only Xiao Du Fu is a little blind.

"Little Du Fu, don't learn from your master, these are boring works, just be a man and do things according to your heart, don't pretend" Nalan Feiya educated her apprentices for her lover.

Dugu Xinci was not ashamed, and also said, "It's right to listen to Professor Nalan"

Quan Yiquan said indifferently, "I heard that the junior brother is very poetic, such a feast, He Yi?" ”

"Master You don't have any verses, you can ponder carefully, Master You also said that the article is natural, and good sentences are occasionally obtained, so you can't rush it?" Nalan Feiya saw Du Fu's face flushed, so she thought it was a poem and persuaded him softly.

"Professor Nalan, I just pondered a few sentences, it is to describe this banquet, it is better to let Professor Nalan taste it" Who knows that Du Fu said that Ai Ai has already obtained a poem, and Nalan Feiya is not surprised, and is busy urging him to recite to appreciate.

Little Du Fu then groaned childishly:

"The peak of the purple camel comes out of the emerald cauldron, and the plate of the water spirit is lined with scales.

The rhinoceros has not been eaten for a long time, and the luan knife is hollow.

The yellow door does not move the dust, and the imperial kitchen sends eight treasures.

The flute and drum mourn and feel the ghosts and gods, and the guests are miscellaneous and real. ”

Nalan Feiya and Dugu Xinci looked at each other, both felt surprised, Xiao Du Fu is only ten years old this year, knowing that he was smart when he was young, but he didn't know how far he went, now that he knows, he suddenly feels that the whole thing is not good, demon? This is the wickedness.

"Master, how do you write that Yellow Gate Flying Sheath?" Quan Yiquan also looked at this junior brother who had not yet been a day old with the eyes of a monster.

"One leather plus one empty" Xiao Du Fu's smile turned even redder, and Nalan Feiya added a sea cucumber to him.

"Well, I wrote the current situation, yes, I have the style of a teacher" Dugu Xinci's very shameless comment "It's just a bit of a pile of beautiful words, poems and words, and ordinary words can also be used to achieve the meaning"

"Master Ru is jealous, compose poems according to your own ideas, and the way of poetry needs to be satisfied with yourself," Nalan Feiya immediately sang in reverse.

What the master and Professor Nalan taught was that "Xiao Du Fu is also a slippery head, and he can't be offended."

"There is someone after you," Nalan Feiya laughed at Dugu Xinci.

Calyx Xianghui Building was built less than ten years, the architectural style is naturally more novel, the beams are also made of thorn wood, the carved railing is also sandalwood, decorated with varnish gold leaf, and the royal luxury is blowing in the face.

Dugu Xinci ordered Quanyi to take the dishes again, this time it was ordinary ingredients, honey lamb chops, rich balls, and a large plate of hand-torn flower chicken.

"This dish is the creativity of a certain person, and it is called flower chicken" Dugu Xinci shows off.

Nalan Feiya enjoyed the dishes of the two Dugu Xinci and dedication, and the dishes were a little bit better, "Yes, stronger than those hump deer tendons"

"Therefore, this cooking is the same as being a person, there is no need to be rich and noble, ordinary is often true" Dugu Xinci was praised, incomparably inflated, and rose to chant a verse:

"The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars.

I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.

There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea.

And a glass of wine before his death, why should he be famous for a thousand years after his death? ”

"Are you still at a loss? Do you need a name for a thousand years? Nalan Feiya began to taunt again, "Eat your well, and you can't eat it when you stop throwing cups?" So grudgeful? ”

"Get used to it," Dugu smiled kindly.

"There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. The master's ambition is very far-reaching," Du Fu praised, and everyone also saw that little Du Fu's blushing was due to drinking too much wine.

Dugu Xinci also invited Nalan Feiya to also come to a poem, Nalan Feiya thought about it and did not refuse, and opened lightly:

"The bottle overflows nine brews, and the water is six Luo Bazhen. Fruit Dongting orange, cut Tianchi scales"

The three masters and apprentices slapped their palms red without discipline.

Nalan Xinci embarrassedly grabbed Dugu Xinci's wine cup and poured him a cup, and shouted "Don't laugh"

"The words are strange, the descriptions are exaggerated, the extravagance is written, and the scenery is close to the scene" Dugu Xinci hurriedly commented.

"You come again" Nalan Feiya saw that when she commented on her apprentice, she criticized the use of too biased words, but when she commented on herself, she said that the words were strange, which showed that she was unpredictable.

Dugu Xinci looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly came again:

"When the flowers are drunk, they break the spring sorrow, and the drunken flowers and branches are used as wine chips.

The Jade Palace is suitable for this night, and the bright moon shines on the tall buildings."

"Do you still want to sing every night?" Nalan Feiya picks bones in eggs.

"Drinking and drinking, poetry is a small way, eating and drinking is a big thing" Dugu Xinci hurriedly changed the topic.

The gold bottle sake bucket is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars.

I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.
