Chapter 500: A Feast of Dreams and Cuisines of the Indigenous People
What is Ome Boiled Sake?
Su Dongpo, who is also a foodie, has a poem called "Giving Plums on the Ridge": "Plum blossoms bloom to the fullest, and pedestrians do not come." Don't take advantage of the green plum to taste the boiled wine, but look at the drizzle ripe yellow plum. ”
Plum blossoms are exhausted, generally refers to February and March, green plums are like beans, it is March, and green plums are edible, it is April. As for the "drizzle ripe yellow plum", it is already May.
Therefore, the so-called green plum season is probably the April day in the world.
In April of the lunar calendar, although the spring is close to twilight, the cold is not exhausted, especially before and after the Qingming Festival, if it rains a little more, at this time, under the boredom, drink a little wine, that is the most pleasant thing.
Ancient wine is low-alcohol wine, slightly acidic, and has many impurities, and the taste is generally not very good. However, there is a very simple solution to this problem, which is to fumigate through water, of course, it is okay to say "boiled".
When it is boiled to 70 or 80 degrees, the impurities that affect the taste are removed by the wind, and at the same time, the wine becomes more fragrant and mellow.
As for the sake accompaniment, the seasonal green plum is naturally the first choice and the best choice. Chew a green plum, take a sip of wine, sour, sweet, crisp, mellow, lingering into the stomach, the wine is not intoxicating, people are already drunk first.
According to reliable analysis, Ms. Li Qingzhao is an alcoholic, when she drinks like this, there should be no less, when she was a girl, "leaning on the door and looking back, but smelling the green plums", a few years later, it became "cooking wine in the window, but the green plums".
In short, over time, boiled wine and green plums have been put together, just like peppercorns and chili peppers in Sichuan cuisine.
As soon as they met, they fell in love, and then they stayed together forever.
Thinking so. Fang Tian, who didn't have much feeling for wine, actually had a trace of greed, so he once again sensed the elements and explored the four fields, wanting to find the three or two wild plums.
Half an hour, another half an hour.
But unfortunately, no one was found.
Not even a single one.
So, his idea of boiling wine with green plums just came to mind. Before it fermented, it was extinguished......
Sure enough, how can things in the world be as expected, Fang Tian looked up to the sky and sighed.
There were no green plums, so Fang Tian found peppercorns and chili peppers by the way. -- After coming to this world, until this time. Fang Tiancai suddenly remembered, oh. It turns out that there is such a thing as "hot pot" in the cuisine.
Also until this time. Fang Tiancai suddenly discovered that after coming to this life, although he got something to eat from time to time, after all, he was not the food lover in his previous life.
It's really like in the previous life, why use it at this time. Can you think of hot pot?
It turns out that a qiē is changing.
If food was a fraction of his life in a previous life, then in this life. at most a few tenths. Then, after a few years, will these tenths become even less, into a few hundredths?
A faint melancholy rose in Fang Tian's heart, but it was only for a moment, and it was replaced by shaking his head and laughing.
Nostalgia, after all, is just nostalgia, and I don't really want to go back to that old.
Perhaps it was compensation for not finding wild plums, Fang Tian unexpectedly found a lot of pepper trees, and as for peppers, there were even more. Fang Tian also discovered for the first time that there were so many wild peppers.
The pepper trees are just bearing fruit and will be picked in a few months. However, Fang Tian still took a small grain, threw it in his mouth, and chewed it.
Well, I have that feeling, and when it matures, it should taste similar to that of its previous life.
Next, there are the chili peppers.
In many places, some wild peppers are still blooming, some are already beginning to bear fruit, some have already grown into large green fruits, and some have turned red.
Fang Tian picked a big green fruit at random, the kind that was reunited, it didn't look too spicy, threw it in his mouth, clicked, and chewed it in a few bites.
Then he cupped the cup.
A strong burning sensation spread throughout his mouth, and after a few full seconds, Fang only felt it, spicy, spicy, spicy.
What a spicy word!
Fortunately, there were a few bystanders on the left, otherwise, Fang Tian would have jumped to his feet.
Even so, he spit out the chili pepper in his mouth without regard to the image, and then drank the water in a big gulp.
It's so spicy!
This doesn't make sense, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bell pepper, why is it so spicy?
If only I had been a botanist in my previous life!, Fang Tian deeply regretted.
The next moment, Fang Tian remembered a small story recorded in "The World Says New Words": "Wang Rong was seven years old, he tried to swim with all the children, and saw that the plum trees beside the road had many branches broken (the fruits were so heavy that the branches were pressed down), and the children raced to take it, but Rong did not move." When asked, they replied, 'The tree is beside the road and has many seeds, and it will be bitter.' 'Take it as it is. ”
The tree is by the side of the road and has many seeds, and this will be bitter.
Fang Tian smiled bitterly, he was not even as good as a seven-year-old doll.
There are so many green peppers and red peppers all over the mountains, and there are many fruits, and there are no small animals to eat, and he, a big fool, actually relied on the extremely shallow understanding of his previous life, and subconsciously thought that the peppers that "grew very reunion" were generally not too spicy.
Lesson me!
From the two spices of pepper and chili, Fang Tian naturally remembered cumin and hawthorn.
Then Fang Tian regretted again that he did not find cumin.
It was the hawthorn that gave him a lot of surprises. On a few hawthorn trees in a mountain valley, last year's fruits are clearly still hanging on them.
Now, when it comes to cooking meat, there's something new.
Also, sugar gourd should also be able to be made?
At this point, Fang Tian ended this first exploration mission. It's three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to prepare dinner!
Today, in order to celebrate the establishment of the "food garden", Fang Tian decided to make a big meal! At least twenty-four dishes are the base! Of course, thirty-six dishes can also be considered.
A few hours later......
On the top of the slope of the Rotary Impact Lake, on several different slopes, there are four scattered groups of people.
One pile is Andy Eric and other mages, one pile is Groton Nanjin and other martial artists, and the other is a group of mercenaries from Maple Grove such as Owen Anderson, and the last pile is little dolls such as Little Berg, Little Dick, Little Thea, and Little Kiki.
Fang Tian was mixed in this group of little dolls.
And it doesn't matter which of these four piles of people, at this time. Slander was pouring in, even the group of mages.
As for the group of little dolls, many of them really drooled down.
Don't blame them.
It's really not weird.
After hours of cooking, these natives, large and small, had never seen before, never heard of, and even dreamed of, and for the first time, it was presented to them steaming hot.
It doesn't matter if it's steaming, what matters is that there are all kinds of strong and light fragrances, fresh and sweet fragrances, and all kinds of indescribable fragrances. Don't your nose!
Everyone involuntarily held their breath, and then involuntarily took a deep breath......
And then what are you waiting for?
In a moment, the entire hillside on the top of the hill changed from extremely static to extremely moving, bowls and spoons. Under the control of a group of large and small, it began to be a ring. Meantime. The sound of smacking, swallowing, endlessly.
Because of the limited time and the fact that many materials were not yet ready, Fang Tian was just trying his hand this time. But even if it's a small test, for these natives. It's also a fantastic culinary journey.
Sweet and sour fish.
The fish is blackfish, the sugar is honey, and the vinegar is the juice of a sour fruit in the mountains.
The fish with spines is tender and smooth. Wild honey from the mountains. The sweetness is not as good as the white sugar in the previous life, but it has a refreshing fragrance and sweet fragrance, as for the sour fruit juice, it is that Fang Tian has tried dozens of sour fruits before, and deliberately chose the one that is most suitable for this place.
After a slight stew, the sour, the sweet, and the fish fused into one, and just put a piece into the mouth, the rich sweet and sour and fish aroma exploded in the whole mouth.
Spicy fish fillet.
"Half of the house is covered, a handkerchief is worn on the head, the pot helmet is like a pot lid, and the oil and spicy seeds are a dish. ”
These are the four "monsters" in the "Eight Monsters of Shaanxi". When the oily spicy seeds were a dish, Fang Tian was not clear, and as for where it originated, Fang Tian was also unclear. But Fang Tian knew that this dish was very tempting and tempting for some people.
At this time, in the big wooden basin, there is hot oil, hot water, hot spicy seeds, and hot fish fillets. The white fillets are tumbling in the red oil, a smell that people in this world have never smelled before, and they come to their faces in this tumbling.
Chili pepper, something Fang Tian had never eaten since he came to this world, for the first time, it was on everyone's table like this. Will anyone say in a few years that this is a moment in history?
That's for later, though.
Let's talk about the present.
As if she couldn't resist the temptation of this peculiar fragrance, at this table, Xiao Qiqi first dug a piece of fish fillet with a wooden spoon and put it in her mouth.
Fang Tian looked at it amusedly.
Sure enough, the next moment, the little girl hissed and inhaled, and tears came out. The little girl looked at Fang Tian with tears in her eyes, and was about to ask for an explanation, but as soon as her tongue stirred a few times in her mouth, her expression became strange.
Then, hesitating and tentatively, she scooped up the second fillet and put it in her mouth.
After another moment, the third slice ......
......
Six stews, six steamed, six fried, six roasted.
Four fish, four meats, four shrimps, four pork ribs, four bacteria, four vegetables.
He that flies in the sky, that runs on the earth, that is born in the water, and that grows in the trees...... Twenty-four dishes with their own flavors are rapidly decreasing in the gluttony of everyone, until there is almost nothing left.
The reason why it is said that almost, for example, the chili oil, can never be eliminated.
But the fillets in it are completely clean and slippery. Not to mention a piece, even a trace of it, it is absolutely impossible to find it.
For the first time, Xiao Loli ate a mouth full of oil regardless of the image.
And Xiao Qiqi, who has always eaten braised pork with a round belly before, this time, her small body is about to be unstable when she eats it, and in addition, she is sweating a little, spicy fish fillet, she eats the most.
In the meantime, the little girl even secretly scooped a spoonful of chili oil and poured it into her mouth.
Needless to say, the result was naturally spicy, but after that, she was more happy to eat the fish fillet.
"Brother, will you still eat like this in the future?" The little girl stroked her stomach with one hand, held Fang Tian's arm with the other, leaned on Fang Tian's body, and asked lazily and expectantly. (To be continued.) )
