Jiang Duyun learned very quickly, and if a qi practitioner wanted to control the formation, as long as he had talent, it would not be ruthless.

The Vermilion Bird Great Array in Chang'an City has been entrusted to people trusted by the royal family for generations. So the old man Lu took Jiang Duyun to the palace and met Li Wenjian, the son of today. Inheriting the Great Array is obviously a very important thing.

But Li Wenjian just laughed at Jiang Duyun's shortcomings.

How many people are there in the family, why do you get her a house in Chang'an City, and ask her if she has any relatives. In short, Jiang Duyun felt that Li Wenjian did not look like a Ninety-Five Supreme, but like an ordinary middle-aged man.

So, in Li Wenjian's praise, Jiang Duyun became the next defender of Chang'an City.

There is a Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City, and the formation is very powerful, even if the Taoist Buddha comes, it may not be able to break it. Under the leadership of the old man Lu, Jiang Duyun wandered around Chang'an City and became familiar with the environment.

Among them, she saw a lot of interesting things. If there is any city that can best reflect the historical charm, it is undoubtedly Chang'an City.

The waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters of the ages are here, and there is a generation of poet Li Qinglian. Here, Master Xuanzang began a pilgrimage. Here, the Tang Dynasty overlooks the world. Embroidered households gather in the red candle market at night, and the dancing clothes are sunny and blue.

Splendid Chang'an has been passed down through the ages under the poet's pen, and the jade road that stretches for thousands of miles starts from here, and the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and the majestic Kyushu is majestic. It has witnessed the coronation of generations of new kings.

Changhao waved three thousand zhang, and Qinling wrote poems. Since then, I have sung solo in Datang, and my singing voice has shaken all directions. ”

"It's always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not seen to make people worried. ”

"Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang'an. ”

As soon as the embroidery mouth is spit out, it is half of the Tang Dynasty. As we all know, the "poet immortal" Li Bai has left too many profound imprints here. There are many stories in Chang'an City, and it is a poem of seven words at your fingertips. Suddenly, I remembered Du Fu's "Beauty Walk", and talked about the incident in Chang'an City on March 3. Yang's sisters travel to spring, a jar of Tao Ran, wild cats are comfortable, with the rain and blue, on the drink Xizi Liren, there is the beauty of the service chapter called the flower, by the etiquette of the summer, the eyes do not see the sun, nor do they see Chang'an.

On March 3, the weather was new, and there were many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an. The state is thick and true, and the texture is delicate and even.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, Jiang Duyun also found a lot of food, and there are many delicacies in Chang'an City. She followed behind the old man deer, eating shop by shop. Chang'an has four soft: the girl's waist, cotton bale, fire crystal persimmon, and pig urine bubble.

This crystal persimmon is as red as fire, as cold as a crystal, and the skin is as thin as paper, and it can be sucked and eaten with a poke of a small tube. The flesh is seedless and refreshing, so it is also called "one bite to suck". You can imagine how silky and delicate the fruit is when you can suck it through a straw.

It tastes sweet and luscious, with a hint of honey. After ripening, the persimmon has a white halo in the red skin, and the red flesh is revealed in the skin, holding it in the hand, the whole persimmon is soft and cold.

With a pinch of your thumb and forefinger, you can pinch the skin of the persimmon

A small opening, and then peel the skin along the surrounding area, revealing the markinged flesh. Stuff it into your mouth, savor the sweetness, and the mouth is full of sweetness. The old man deer likes this thing very much, and he can eat several at a time.

Then there is the Hu Cake, Bai Juyi once wrote, "The flax cake is like Kyoto, and the noodles are crispy and fragrant." "The freshly baked Hu cake is fragrant and crispy, it is the best food, in Chang'an at that time, from the dignitaries to the ordinary people, they all liked this delicacy.

Tang people love to eat mutton, or roasted or stewed, fresh mutton is full of fragrance, tender and delicious. Half of the blood of the Xianbei people remained in the veins of the founders of the Tang Dynasty, and they were natural internationalists, and from the very beginning, they had a strong sense of mission to protect international trade and promote cultural exchanges.

After subduing the Western Turks, Tang Taizong said to the envoy from Zhaowu Jiu: "The Western Turks have surrendered, and business travel is feasible. So, "Zhuhu Dayue". These Sogdians set out from Central Asia, crossed the green mountains, and scattered throughout the Western Regions and Hexi, bringing with them not only wealth, goods, religion, but also food.

Since Xuanzong, Hu Cake has become a guest of the gentry and celebrities. Liu Yan has been in charge of finance in the four dynasties of Tang Xuanzong, Tang Suzong, Tang Dynasty Sect, and Tang Dezong, and he has never seen what kind of market. Once in the morning, when I smelled the fragrance of the cake shop on the street, my index finger moved, and I couldn't bear it, so I sent someone to buy it and feast on it, and I didn't forget to enter the palace and sigh to my colleagues: "It's so fragrant." ”

Jiang Duyun saw that there was a book that specifically recorded a kind of food called "Gulouzi": a pound of mutton was spread on the big man's Hu cake, and then sprinkled with chili pepper, and the mutton was roasted in the oven and half-cooked and taken out.

Scholars are far away from cooking, but they are not ashamed of making homemade cakes. Bai Juyi made his own Hu Cake, and happily wrote to his friends: "The flax cake is like Kyoto, and the noodles are crispy and fragrant and freshly baked." Sent to the hungry Ambassador Yang, it seems to be a supplement. ”

Fuxing is the name of Chang'anfang city in the Tang Dynasty, where the Hu cake is very famous. Bai Juyi, who has been immersed in Chang'an for more than ten years, is no longer a foreigner who is ridiculed as "Chang'an residence, it is not easy", but a dignitary who is well versed in Chang'an's customs. He has fully integrated into the unattainable Chang'an in people's dreams, and Hu Cake is the best witness.

Even the vegetarian cake is enough to make ordinary people irresistible.

Someone bought a low-lying plot of land at a very low price, and the ground needed to be filled with gravel. He came up with the idea of asking the old woman to make cakes beside him, and then inviting the children to play, and as long as anyone could use bricks and tiles to throw paper sticks in the low-lying ground, he would invite them to eat the cakes. The land was quickly filled.

Hu cake is also the favorite object of the knights who travel around. In the Tang Dynasty's "Biography of the Bearded Guest", it is said that Li Jing and the famous prostitute Red Buddha met at night, stayed at the Lingshi Hotel near Taiyuan, and met the heroic Bearded Guest. The bearded guest said that he was hungry, so Li Jing went to buy Hu cakes and invited him.

The bearded man heroically "drew the dagger at his waist and cut the meat and ate it together". The meat was roasted and oily, dripping into the crispy and fragrant cake below, and with a dagger, the sound of "click" cut out the size suitable for the mouth, and put it in the mouth, the meat and wheat fragrance mixed with the warmth of the man

Tired stomach of the guest.

When Ma Sui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was still a poor boy, he offended the Taiyuan Festival Marshal and was chased and killed by thousands of miles. On the way to escape, there was no dry food to eat, and he almost starved to death in the road. may be destined to be endless, I met a woman who called herself "Second Sister Hu", and after understanding his predicament, she generously opened the burden and gave him a piece of cooked meat and a Hu cake. Ma Sui relied on these foods to survive, and after he was developed, he also asked someone to inquire about the life-saving benefactor of the past, but he couldn't find it, so he had to set up a temple to worship all year round.

Although the Hu cake was delicious, Jiang Duyun felt a little dry after eating a few.

The old man called for another bowl of mutton.

In addition to mutton, the mutton in the water basin is also served with steamed buns. After all, "Chang'an meat is expensive", after all, those who only eat mutton are local tyrants, and mutton in the water basin is the staple food and meat diet that Chang'an people are more accustomed to.

The flavor of the mutton in the water basin still varies from place to place in Kyushu, but the main difference is in the seasoning. There is also a clear soup and thick soup of mutton in the basin, and the clear soup is also called "clear soup mutton", and the thick soup belongs to the niche and does not meet much.

Developed from the "yokan" more than 1,000 years ago, eat the chili noodles with Shaanxi characteristics, eat heartily, sweat and sweat, and the mutton is sweet, warm, into the spleen and stomach, warm the spleen and stomach. Not only does it taste delicious and delicious, but it is also a high-quality tonic, and mutton soup is often drunk in autumn and winter, which can treat symptoms such as spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, and physical thinness.

The two of them were very happy to eat.

While eating, the old man deer also told Jiang Duyun the story in Chang'an City. He has been in this city for thousands of years, and what is there he that he doesn't know?

"The flax cake is like Kyoto, and the noodles are crispy and fragrant. Send it to Ambassador Yang who is hungry, and it seems to be a blessing."

Bai Juyi personally cooked and baked Hu cakes and sent them to his friend Yang Jingzhi, the assassin of Wanzhou. The young man from other provinces who was ridiculed by the situation that "everything in Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place" has gone through the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and he has become a nobleman and is well versed in the customs of Chang'an. Datang is good at Hu food, not only in Chang'an, but also in other provinces.

The family of the wealthy in Chang'an likes to eat "Gulouzi", which is a Hu cake with meat filling. Stir a pound of mutton stuffing with butter, spread it layer by layer in a huge Hu cake, separate the layers with pepper and black sauce, and then put it in the oven to barbecue, and when the meat is half-cooked, take it out and eat, the flavor is strong and the meat is fresh.

At the time of the five drums, when it was cold, Liu Yan rushed to the early dynasty. Passing by the Hu Cake Shop, the newly steamed Hu Cake was "steaming", and Liu Yan suddenly fell asleep. Hurriedly sent someone to buy it, steamed Hu cakes were hot and hot, "with the sleeves of the robe and skirt and hat", and a column of colleagues in the court praised, "The beauty is indescribable, the beauty is indescribable"!

The steamed Hu cake is filled with green onion and meat, and steamed in a pot, similar to steamed buns. Another official in Datang who ate steamed cakes on the street was not so lucky.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, Zhang Heng, a fourth-grade official, had outstanding performance and was a candidate for the third-rank official. One day, Zhang Heng finished his office and was hungry. When I saw the freshly steamed Hu cake on the street, I bought it with money and ate it while it was hot on a horse. I didn't want to be seen by the imperial envoy, so I went back and made a small report to Wu Zetian - the official ate Hu cakes on the street and embarrassed Wu Zhouchao.

Wu Zetian also felt that there was a loss

Decent, with a stroke of the pen, "Born outside, you are not allowed to enter the third grade." Zhang Heng was expelled from Chang'an because of his greed for a while, and he was never promoted to a third-grade official. Wu Zetian's son, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, also loved to eat steamed Hu cakes. Li Xian's life was turbulent and displaced, trembling, and he was lucky to get the throne, and he was extremely fond of his wife and daughter who shared hardships, and even indulged. Wei wanted to emulate the Wu family as emperor, and Princess An Le wanted to be the crown princess, so the mother and daughter conspired to poison the steamed Hu cake and kick away the stumbling block of Zhongzong.

Every time the Tang people set up a banquet, they took the boy goose according to the number of people, removed the feathers, and removed the five internal organs. The cavity is filled with meat and glutinous rice, and the five flavors are reconciled. After that, a sheep was brought, skinned and dehaired, and the viscera were removed. Put the goose in the belly of the sheep, sew it and roast it on the fire. When the mutton is roasted to medium-rare, the sheep is peeled off, and the goose in the belly of the sheep is taken out and eaten directly in the hand.

At the palace banquet, the crown prince Li Heng cut the roast leg of lamb for Xuanzong and the princes, his hands were sticky and greasy, and he took the Hu cake to wipe it. Xuanzong was dissatisfied and was about to have a seizure, but he saw Li Heng not in a hurry, and ate all the cakes that had wiped his hands one by one. Suddenly, Long Yan was overjoyed and said, "Fu Dang is so cherished!"

During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Quanchen Yu Wenshi performed the drama of "eating cakes and cherishing blessings". The prince of the Tang Dynasty is really a high-risk profession, and if you are not careful, you will die. Li Heng was not only framed by Li Linfu for "forming a party" many times, but was also forced to divorce his wife twice in a year to protect himself. Li Heng was so frightened that he turned white prematurely.

Ge Shuhan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Turkic and liked to eat deer blood sausages. When Ge Shuhan and An Lushan and An Sishun entered the court, Xuanzong specially set up a banquet, shot a deer to take blood, filled the deer intestines, fried them in oil, extremely fat, and named "Reluo River" to show his favor.

Shi Eun newly awarded the big official, to the emperor to offer food, called "burning tail feast", "take its dragon to burn the tail, straight to the clouds".

During the Zhongzong period, Wei Juyuan worshiped Shang Shuling and offered a "roasted tail banquet" according to the custom. Wei Juyuan's "Recipe" preface to the text said: "Juyuan worships the Shangshu order, burns the tail and eats his home, so there is still a food account in the book, and the strange one is slightly remembered today." ”

Yulu dough is the soufflé carving; the milk-stuffed fish is to cook the whole fish with goat's milk; the Junxun sauce is fried with fish fillets and mutton slices; and the soft-shelled turtle is boiled in mutton fat and duck egg fat. Shengping is eaten with sheep tongue and deer tongue, and Tonghua soft beef intestine is a sausage made by filling sheep paste pith in beef intestines. The staple food is mandal-like sandwich cake, Brahmin light high noodles, and smallpox Biluo are authentic Hu food, while crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, Bafang cold food cakes, double companion square broken cakes, and Jushengnu are Chinese Hu food.

In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, Hufeng Restaurant in Chang'an City was dotted with restaurants and restaurants, and it was known as "Restaurant Hu". Li Bai smiled into the orchid wine shop, "The orchid looks like a flower, and it should be a spring breeze." ”

Restaurant Hu not only welcomes customers warmly, but also allows people to drink on credit. Wang Ji is good at wine, drinking a bucket every day, "Over the Restaurant" "If you have money, you must teach to drink, and if you don't have money, don't sell it." Come to Changdao Zhen, ashamed of the restaurant Hu".

Pepper is extremely expensive, and when officials and businessmen welcome each other, a pound of pepper is a generous gift.

Yuan Zai, the prime minister of the Daizong period, "anointed with other industries, looking at each other in the field", "the name is different, and the inner court is not as good", and the scenery is unique. Yuan Jae was finally robbed of his house and killed because he was in power and took bribes. copy

There are actually 800 stone pepper in the family's items, which is about more than 60 tons now, and the people of Chang'an City can't eat it all. Daizong was furious and ordered his ancestral graves to be dug up, the family temple destroyed, the tablets burned, and the bones were scattered.

Jiang Duyun listened to these interesting stories and felt that this Chang'an City, in some places, was similar to Taoyuan Village.

After eating these staple foods, the old man Lu took Jiang Duyun to eat some snacks.

Datang takes cherries as the top grade. Cherries, which appear most often in poetry. The popular way to eat it at the time was pastry cheese, accompanied by cane syrup, and accompanied by fine wine.

In order to prevent the internal heat caused by eating cherries, a neutralizing cane sugar water is also prepared, and the milky white cheese faintly reveals the vermilion dots of cherries. At that time, the cheese of the Tang Dynasty referred to fresh cheese that had not been dried, and the state was close to today's yogurt, which was semi-solid and frozen. After that, a layer of transparent amber cane juice is poured over, and then a light sip is filled, and the creaminess of cheese is filled between the lips and teeth, the sweet and sour soup of cherries, and the fragrance of cane syrup.

Jiang Duyun especially likes this, thief sweet.

In addition to this, there are also flower balls.

In Datang, desserts made of glutinous rice, flour and soybean flour are also well developed, somewhat similar to modern snow skin mooncakes. It is recorded in "Yunxian Sanji" that there is a master chef named Deng Lian in the house of Mrs. Qiuguo, who filtered out the bean skin in the cooked bean paste and made it into bean paste, which is known as "Lingsha Zhen". At the same time, the best glutinous rice is pounded into a glutinous cake, sandwiched into the lingsha to make the filling, and the bean paste filling is cleverly molded into a flower shape.

After his skillful making, the cake body of the cake is translucent, so the flower shape of the bean paste can be faintly reflected, so it is called "through the flower cake". The whole is semi-transparent, and the delicate flower shape of Lingsha is looming in it, which is quite chic. When chewing, the soft and glutinous fragrance of glutinous rice and the delicate softness of bean paste are intertwined between the teeth.

Jiang Duyun likes these things very much, and she thinks that Chang'an City is actually quite good.

Finally, after the day passed, Jiang Duyun was a little tired and found a chair to sit down on the side of the road. The old man stood aside and said with a smile: "I'm tired of walking, there are still a lot of delicious foods in Chang'an City, I've been here for thousands of years, and I haven't gotten tired of it." ”

Jiang Duyun smiled slightly, and in her hand, she was still carrying a few packages, which she brought back to her mother to eat.

Old man Lu smiled: "In the west of the city, Your Majesty will give you a mansion, and you can say whatever else you want." ”

Jiang Duyun looked at the sky: "Enough, enough." ”

She didn't know that these things were all compensation given to her by the Ninety-Five Supreme. Because once Jiang Duyun decides to inherit this great array, if nothing else, she may have to stay in Chang'an City for the rest of her life. This is not a good thing, people who are not firm in the heart of the Tao will collapse.

Jiang Duyun is the lady of the sky, she may be the palace master of the Star Palace in the future, and her future is limitless. At her age, she should have gone to see the great rivers and mountains outside, and by the way, she should have seen the differences in various parts of Kyushu. But if she promised to stay in Chang'an City, she may not be able to go in this life.

The old man said with a smile: "Old man, I can live for a few years, if you want to travel to Kyushu, you can do it." ”

Jiang Duyun shook his head

Head: "I'm not going." ”

The old man Lu was a little surprised: "Why don't you go?" My little granddaughter, but all day long, she shouts to go outside to play, fight the sword world, and act chivalrous and righteous. She hates staying at home the most, and she can't keep six. ”

Jiang Duyun's eyes were filled with a smile: "The world is very big, but I want to go and see it." Anyway, for me, where there is no Brother Baoshu, it is the same everywhere. It's good to stay in Chang'an City. There is delicious food, and there is a big house for my mother to live in. Not to mention that after inheriting the Great Array, my cultivation will increase a lot, so what more can I ask for?"

I have seen the wind and snow, and I can stand the upheaval and displacement.

Old man Lu, I really like Jiang Duyun, a little girl, who is a cultivator all over the sky, so why not pass it on to her?

The girl in her own family likes to practice swords, and now she is killing demons in the Two Realms Mountain.

Jiang Duyun is in Chang'an City, likes to eat, and now he wants to inherit the Vermilion Bird Great Array.

They are all very nice and nice girls.
