136 Wine Table Culture
"Okay, Brother Tang, don't waste your temperament for these guys, what about the food you are talking about?"
It is not for nothing that Barab can grow so fat, in addition to not liking to move, but also because he is also a glutton.
Tang Ping called his cook, this is the one who has followed Xiaoluo for the longest time in the family, and it can be said that he has won the true inheritance of Xiaoluo.
If she hadn't asked Xiaoluo to stay and take care of Tang Tang this time, I was afraid that she would have to die or live and come with her.
Tang Ping's people first sent the ingredients up, and soon a table was filled.
Ba Rabu sighed in his heart when he saw it, it seems that although this Tang brother has great ability, but their Tang Dynasty is really poor, and they actually eat these seafood at noon.
You must know that these shrimps, fish, shellfish, etc. on the table now, in the opinion of Barab, are eaten by ordinary fishermen.
However, Tang Ping's magic today and the fact that others also saved his life, so Ba Rabu politely didn't say anything.
"Here, put the pot here!" Tang Ping put the solar cells in place, and in the South Seas, the sun is more than 30 degrees every day, even if it is spring.
The sunshine is so abundant that the solar cells he brings are always fully charged.
"Brother Tang, you ......" Ba Rabu looked at Tang Ping and directly ordered someone to put the two small pots on the table, and said a little speechlessly, "Don't you want to eat raw?"
Some people eat the fish in the sea, but Barab thinks that it is the way of eating inferior people, and it is difficult for him to accept it.
The main thing is that it still can't be processed, so even if it's seafood, it will have a big seaweed smell.
"Don't eat raw, let's cook and eat."
"Cook!" Barab struggled to keep his eyes open: "What about fire? How do you cook without fire? Why don't you let me prepare today's lunch?"
Is it possible to burn the table where this pot is placed? But if you want to burn the table, where will you put the dishes?
"No fire, no electricity!" Tang Ping connected the power, turned on the switch, pointed to the soup in the pot and said, "It only takes a moment."
Barab still doesn't believe it, where is there anything that doesn't need fire to cook things? He is not one of those uninformed islanders, if Tang Ping can really do it......
Ba Rabu was stunned when he thought about it, he didn't know how Tang Ping interrupted his flagpole just now.
If only Tang Ping could boil this soup without fire now...... Even if he really has the power of ghosts and gods!
As for what he said about electricity, Barab didn't believe it at all, and of course he knew what electricity was.
There are a lot of heavy rains in the South Seas, often when it rains, there will be thunder and lightning, that lightning is not a good thing, once he saw some sailors on the mast of the ship, it rained but did not come down, and then was split into charcoal by lightning, and even the lookout on the mast was split to pieces.
However, although the thunder and lightning are powerful, but after all, it will be on a rainy day, and the sun is blazing today, where does the thunder and lightning come from?
Just when Ba Rabudong was thinking about it, he suddenly found that the soup in the pot was smoking?
No, I must have fainted just now, so I was dazzled!
He rubbed his eyes, then pointed to the pot in horror and said, "Smoke, smoke, really smoke!"
That's right, a faint heat did start to come out of the pot, but they couldn't tell the difference between smoke and gas.
Tang Ping's big fire, this pot is not too big, it was originally a single pot, and when Ba Rabu was startled, it not only began to bubble, but also began to boil gradually.
"It's open, the soup is open!" Where does this Ba Rabu still want a big man, it's exactly like a child who has just entered the city and has never seen the world.
A fat finger pointed at the soup pot, trembling slightly.
"Lord Barabu, don't get excited, don't fall down again in a while, we haven't eaten yet!" Tang Ping smiled and comforted him, then took a pot of sour plum juice from the hands of the people below, poured a cup into the cup in front of Barab, and then put a piece of ice on it.
"Ice!" Barab was shocked again.
Is there any ice in the South Seas? Yes, from
Merchants from the East Vietnamese side would sometimes sell some ice to the great nobles of Sri Buddha, which was frighteningly expensive.
No one in the whole Sri Buddha knew how the ice was made, but if it was a banquet between the great nobles, if there were no two pieces of ice at the table, it would be a shameless thing. Z.br>
But what did you see just now?
Tang Ping's subordinate called Lao Fu was carrying a large bucket of ice in his hand just now, and he would feel pain if he wanted to buy so much ice.
And when the old man used a clip to pick up the ice, he accidentally dropped a piece of ice on the ground, and he didn't care.
After the ice in the cup was finished, he actually distributed the remaining ice to Tang Ping's other subordinates, and even the servants and guards who followed him did not fall.
Did you see it wrong just now? It's not ice, it's just something that resembles ice?
Puzzled, he picked up the cup and put it in front of him to look at it carefully.
"That's right, it's ice!"
"What did Lord Barab say?" Hearing Tang Ping's question, Ba Rabu realized if he had shown himself a little too much.
"Be calm, calm down." He said to himself in his heart, "Isn't it ice? It's not impossible to spend a little more money."
But he smiled and said, "What did I say about this dark red soup?"
"This is sour plum soup, the most to quench your thirst in the summer, but now that Lord Barabu hasn't eaten yet, why don't you eat something before drinking?"
As he spoke, Tang Ping picked up a shrimp and put it in the soup pot in front of him.
In the soup pot is also a kind of red and bright soup, and there is also a sour taste.
Originally, the weather was hot, and Barab's appetite would be a little worse, but now just by smelling this sour smell, he felt that the saliva in his mouth began to flow out.
All of a sudden, Barab felt a strong desire to eat.
I put a shrimp in the pot in the same way, and soon saw that the shrimp's body turned from transparent to red, and quickly clamped it out.
Then I blew on it casually and put it in my mouth.
"Hmm......" The shrimp meat has a hint of sweetness, and then adds the sour, spicy, and salty flavor of the soup, and for a while, Hachibu actually felt that countless wonderful flavors appeared in his mouth.
As a gourmet, he thinks he has eaten a lot of food, but today this strange soup dish is really the first time he has eaten it.
The shrimp that I usually disdain will be so delicious!
"How? Barab, is it still to your liking?"
"It's delicious, it's really delicious! What is this dish called?" Barab asked.
"Tom Yum Soup!" Seeing that the interpreter didn't know how to translate, Tang Ping asked him to just pronounce it directly.
Anyway, later we shouted that Tom Yum soup was also transliterated according to the pronunciation of the Thai language.
"Dongyangkong?" Barab learned to say it again, but Tang Ping was shocked, because the pronunciation of Barab was not standard, but it was closer to the later Thai pronunciation.
So Tang Ping gave a big thumb and said to Barabu, "Dong Yangkong!"
"Dongyang Kong! Hahahaha!" Barab laughed, and then hurriedly put some shrimp and processed crabs and fish in the soup.
"Brother Tang, can you tell me how this soup is made?" Ba Rabu couldn't take care of it too much, this soup was too much to his liking.
Originally, he fainted just now, and his head was still tight, but now that he has taken a few sips of soup, the spicy and sour taste actually made his forehead sweat slightly, and the whole person is a lot more relaxed.
Tang Pingxin said that his decision was indeed right, and that in modern Southeast Asia, Thailand and other places, it is not for nothing that the locals love to drink Tom Yum Gong soup, and various reasons such as climate and humidity here have caused the popularity of this soup.
Originally, he also thought that he hadn't drunk Tom Yum Gong soup for a long time anyway, so he tried it here in Barab, but he didn't expect Barab to like it so much.
"Of course, it's not a secret
Secret!" Tang Ping's Tom Yum Gong soup is not the kind of packaged ingredient package that he bought directly, but is actually prepared with spices by the chef who came with him.
The recipe was taught by Xiaoluo's cheap master Gu in modern times.
"Many of the spices used here are available in the South Seas, and if they don't, they are suitable for growing here, and I can provide seeds to Lord Barab, and then ask someone to plant them."
"As for the cooking method of the soup base, Lord Barab can ask your cook to learn from my chef, it's very simple, and you can easily learn it."
This is originally a special delicacy here in the future of Nanyang, and the ingredients used are all original Thai ingredients such as lemongrass, Thai lemon, Chaotian pepper and green curry.
As long as you put it in the pot in proportion and order, the taste is not bad.
If you want to unite Sri Buddha to die, Barab is the key, such inconsequential things, of course Tang Ping will not be polite.
After hearing this, Ba Rabu was overjoyed, took out some seafood from the soup, ate it in a few bites, and took a big mouthful of chilled sour plum juice, and exhaled happily.
"Brother Tang Ping, I don't know how you want to unite us with the death of Sri Buddha?"
This is the rhythm of eating happy and can start talking about real things slowly.
Tang Ping secretly sighed that whether it was modern or Tang Dynasty, this wine table culture was really similar.
"Actually, as I said at the beginning, Great Wei is not a good thing for the death of Sri Buddha, and what Sri Buddha is afraid of is just the powerful navy of Great Wei." Tang Ping said here and smiled confidently: "I won't tell you the truth, in fact, I gave them the drawings and models of those warships of the Great Wei Navy."
"You gave it to them?"
Sri Buddha's eyes widened, "Didn't you say that you have a grudge against Zhen Xiong?"
So Tang Ping probably said why he gave out the drawings back then, and how Zhen Xiong betrayed the Dongyue royal family later, of course, he skipped it about his father-in-law and the Dongyue harem.
Although there is no way to verify these things for the time being, the logic of Tang Ping's words is clear, when Zhen Xiong came to Nanyang, he naturally wanted to inquire about the other party's news.
At that time, some vague or illogical things were now straightened out after Tang Ping said this.
So he judged that Tang Ping did not lie to himself.
"Lord Barab only needs to guarantee that Zhen Xiong's retreat by land will be cut off after his defeat. Before that, Sri Buddha didn't need to do anything, and after the matter is completed, I am willing to give another copy of the drawings of the warships of the East Vietnamese Navy, so that Sri Buddha can build his own powerful navy."
"Hehe, Brother Tang." Ba Rabu smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that Brother Tang only brought sixty warships when he came, but now he says that he can defeat the Great Wei Navy, I'm afraid that your Great Tang Navy is stronger, right?"
Regardless of whether the strength of the Tang Dynasty's navy has something to do with Tang Ping's inexplicable ability, but if you can only get the blueprints of the Great Wei Navy, then the navy after Sri Buddha's death is only as strong as the Great Wei, so it is still not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Ping didn't expect Ba Rabu to think of this so quickly, and nodded without concealing it and said, "That's natural, otherwise why would I have traveled all the way from the Tang Dynasty to come here. But don't worry, Lord Barabu, we Datang treat friends with friendship, and only with our enemies does we treat them with anger."
Barab touched his three chins: "The stakes are very high, although I like Brother Tang and am willing to unite with you, but the final decision on this matter must be decided by our lord."
"Of course." Tang Ping raised the cup in front of him: "Then I wish Sri Buddha that he can form an alliance with our Tang Dynasty, cheers!"
"Okay, cheers!"
"Also, call that old blow and add some ice to me!"
