Chapter 188: Five Treasures of Mandarin Ducks
Confucius said that you don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine.
added another sentence: I don't want to eat it, I don't eat it.
脍 is raw meat.
Yao Huan knew that in the "Tail Burning Banquet" held by the literati and military generals in the Tang Dynasty, there was a sashimi platter "Wusheng Plate". Cows, sheep, bears, deer, and pigs are all cut into thin strips and served with green onion mustard sauce.
Although Hua Tuo in the Eastern Han Dynasty suggested that eating sashimi might infect people with parasites when he was treating officials, in the Tang and Song dynasties, everyone from scholars to commoners was obsessed with eating sashimi. When Yao Huan and his aunt went to Su Yu's house to make a wedding banquet, the carp belly prepared according to the habits of authentic Kaifeng people was extremely popular.
At this moment, the guy in the restaurant served the "Mandarin Duck Five Treasures", Yao Huan took a closer look, although he recognized it, he praised the store's good intentions.
The five treasures were originally venison, fish, shrimp, clams, and black mushrooms.
The color of the venison is similar to that of beef, but it is more dark red, and after being thinly sliced, it is surrounded by clusters, such as the rouge-colored peony famous "Yu Ji Yan Makeup".
The fish is not carp or grass carp, but mullet. The mullet scales are small and tender, and they are cut into very fine shreds, which are intertwined with the shredded radish, like a white ropa with distinct warp and weft.
The shrimp has gone to the head and tail, the back is open, and the pink is displayed horizontally in the plate, and the dawn is beginning to appear, and it is like a touch of beauty on the bud of the flower.
The clams have pleasing shells, all of which are open, revealing the flesh of the moon white and goose yellow, dripping with water, tempting people to suck it.
The black mushroom is the wild black fungus of the Song Dynasty, thicker than the modern one, and it is not pure black, but has different shades of brown? Small flowers, small flowers.
Dude put another hot chicken soup on the table? A bowl of steamed rice, three plates of dipping sauce.
"This lady is a gluttonous expert at first glance? I will come to the store to taste the food in these ten winter months. But now it's 39 after all? Before eating something fishy, drink a bowl of our old ginger chicken soup to warm your stomach. What about these three sauces? They are mustard salt soy sauce, onion garlic ginger sauce, flax and vinegar sauce, in addition to the raw clams? The four treasures on the side have not added any condiments? If the lady is too weak, it can be served with sauce. ”
Yao Huan thanked him and muttered at the same time, so the restaurant that developed the dishes in the famous book in later generations? A lot of them are unreliable. For example, Jin Yong's famous dishes? The "Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night" is just a stew of fish balls with ham slices, and the "Mandarin Duck Five Treasures" is actually a pot stewed with ingredients such as scallops, winter melon, mushrooms, pork ribs, and quail eggs, which has nothing to do with sashimi, and is obviously "stewed", not "guan".
But the "five treasures of mandarin ducks" in front of me makes sense.
Beasts, aquariums, mountain treasures? Raw food is used as "脍".
Red, white, pink, yellow, brown, colorful? It is as straight as a mandarin duck brocade.
When the guy stepped back, she ate half a bowl of chicken soup and rice first? I was hungry and cold in my stomach before I began to enjoy the five treasures.
Honestly? Although she also liked to eat raw food in her previous life? But there is always a psychological shadow for horse meat sashimi? Avoid eating and not eating. Horses are more like companions, and she can't get over that hurdle when she eats them as a human.
To her, the deer is more like a cow. This venison sashimi is indeed close to the taste of raw shredded beef, but the smell is clearer, the meat is more delicate, the fascia is less connective, and it has a sweet aftertaste after chewing for a long time.
The shredded mullet is also good, mixed with the shredded radish and shredded shallots on the plate, and there is some sesame vinegar sauce, which has a sense of "Shunde fishing for fish sheng" in later generations.
The best part is the raw clams. The sweetness of Song people's rice wine is diluted and peaceful, and it is best used to spoil the aquarium. Yao Huan tasted several in one go, and said in his heart, no wonder Su Shi said that "clams are half-cooked and contain wine", which is the most beautiful in the world.
Yao Huan ate deliciously and was satisfied, and it took more than half an hour to finish this meal of five treasures of mandarin ducks.
She had settled the money, and as soon as she reached the door, she suddenly bumped into two mothers-in-law, almost causing her to stumble and fall.
……
Shao Qing lifted the curtain and looked at the street scene of Kaifeng City.
After bidding farewell to Lu Gang, Hu Ren's subordinates drove him and Ye Rou back to the east of the city.
When the car arrived, Shao Qing saw the small wine shop where he asked the shopkeeper for Mr. Su's letter.
He remembered that the wine jar covered with a thin layer of snow in front of the door was where he had stopped. On that day, he was holding the silk scroll of "the taste of the world is Qinghuan", and he was overjoyed, and when he looked up, he saw that on the carriage that had broken down in Zengfu, Yao Huan recognized him and wanted to greet him, but he was a little cramped and hesitant.
Shao Qing recalled the scene at that time, and a clear smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and it lasted for a long time, so long that after passing this street crossing, the smile was still there.
Even Ye Rou, who was sitting opposite, found out.
She was about to ask curiously, "What's wrong with the son", when suddenly there was a shouting and scolding outside the car window.
Before Ye Rou could react, Shao Qing had already shouted to the Hu Ren Xiaolang Qili who was driving: "Stop!" ”
In front of the "Mandarin Duck Five Treasures" restaurant, Yao Huan was dragged by a sturdy woman in gray and couldn't break free.
"Yao Niangzi, you cried and cried and looked for death and life that day, and you did a good show of chaste martyrs, so that I couldn't be an official media lady. As a result, you went to Zeng's mansion to worship your godfather and godmother. Look at you now, swaggering in the market, eating and drinking without worry, I think you have gained a lot of wealth. Since you can afford such a decent store, you should also pay me back some money for your stepmother. ”
It turned out to be the official media lady who colluded with the stepmother of the Yao family.
Yao Huan was bumped into by two mothers-in-law who were entangled with each other at the door, and was about to quickly dodge after standing firmly, but was unexpectedly recognized by the gray-clothed official media lady and grabbed her.
After Yao Huan understood what she meant, he went from stunned to shocked, and then angry.
This is the textbook "garbage man"!
Her face sank, and she didn't want to talk nonsense with this woman, but she couldn't get rid of her for a while, so she had to turn to the stunned hotel guy and said: "This crazy woman is entangled in the street, and the little brother is tired to help go to the military patrol shop to call the military master." ”
didn't want the gray-clothed woman to be cheating, so she completely opened her face and stretched out her hand to pull Yao Huan's clothes.
She thought that the other party was a young lady after all, and she was about to have her clothes torn off her chest in the street, so she would definitely care about her face, so she took out her purse and sent her away with money.
The mother-in-law's hand was about to pull Yao Huan's winter jacket forward, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in the right shoulder blade.
The sudden and violent pain made her suddenly let go of both hands and let go of Yao Huan.
"Oops, hey......" The mother-in-law shouted, and after being pushed away a few steps, she looked at it, but it was a green-shirted gentleman who did it to her.
She stared, not quite convinced.
It seems that this gentleman who is sven and powerless, and his claws can simply crush people's bones!
She discerned it again.
Familiar......
Come to think of it!
Isn't this the day the little lady of the Yao family got married and sought death, Lang Zhong who showed her injuries?
"You go."
Shao Qing's voice was not loud, but his face was as heavy as iron.
The woman was a little unwilling, and wanted to say more, "Who are you", but suddenly saw this Lang Zhong beside him, and a high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu Ren Xiaolang appeared, pulling a horsewhip in his hand, one loose and one tight, and the pair of sharp eyes stared straight at her, like an eagle harrier staring at a mouse who didn't know what to do and didn't get out of here.
The mother-in-law stomped her foot, glanced at Yao Huan hatefully, spat thick phlegm on the ground, and turned to leave.
Yao Huan dusted off his sleeves and said to Shao Qing: "It's a coincidence that we met here today." Mr. Lo helped me catch a fly. ”
Shao Qing's face turned pale, but his eyes were a little afraid to touch Yao Huan.
He was still thinking about what to say, when a middle-aged woman who was huddled in the corner of the door of the restaurant stepped forward and said to Shao Qing: "Young Master Shao, it turned out to be you!" ”
It was the woman who climbed and bumped into Yao Huan with the woman in gray.
When Shao Qing jumped out of the car a moment ago, all his attention was on Yao Huan, and Mo said that the woman who was hiding far away was a few guys from the hotel, and he didn't look at it much.
Hearing this woman's greeting at this time, Shao Qing was stunned, fixed his eyes on it, and recognized her.
He wanted to give hints, but he couldn't think of the right words for a while.
