Chapter 35: Through Time and Space, Gluttonous Feast

A group of important ministers sat on the table and chair, tasting snacks with rich taste levels, listening to the sound of heaven coming from the top of the hill, and looking at the waiters in simple clothes and acting quickly, everything was full of surprise.

Then there was a rich spicy fragrance wafting through the air, a spicy and numb smell that had never been smelled before, and the sound of sneezing was incessant, but the index finger was moving.

"What does it taste like? The end is spicy and rich. ”

Feng Qu stroked his round belly, "When I smell this smell and arouse my appetite, I feel hungry!" ”

"Fusu will take you adults to know this gift of nature, the edible things in the world are not only grains, five vegetables, but also too many edible things!"

The spring and autumn diet is extremely rough and simple.

Five grains refer to rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean.

Five fruits refer to dates, plums, apricots, chestnuts, and peaches.

The five animals refer to cattle, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens.

The five vegetables refer to sunflower, leeks, weeds, shallots, and green onions.

Because there is no iron pot, the cooking method is mainly stewing and grilling.

"If you don't mind 'gentlemen stay away from cooking', I'll take you to the dining hall and see it at a glance!"

As the eldest son of the emperor, Fusu has no scruple at all.

During the day, Fu Su went to the dining hall in person, and the door Qing, who had already inquired, was infinitely shocked, and at the same time, he suddenly understood the reason why the first emperor asked him to banquet the ministers of the court and the central government.

"The people live on food. Check it out! ”

Li Si has heard that His Majesty has brought the kitchen of Xia Hao's Mansion to the pot, and he is very curious!

……

When everyone came to the dining room, they saw several healthy women stir-frying quickly in a high-temperature iron round tripod, and there was a trace of green smoke in the round tripod, which was the source of the spicy fragrance.

"What is this?" Feng Qujian said in surprise.

"This is an iron pot!" Fusu looked proud, as if the iron pot came from his hand, and pointed to the dishes that were stir-frying, "The same ingredients, after being cooked in this iron pot, the taste will be richer and more delicious." ”

"You see, this is a seasoning that spreads all over the mountains, and the spicy flavor is produced by the ingredients.

This is wild pepper, spicy. This is wild peppercorns, numb. This is wild garlic, spicy. Several ingredients can be combined and stir-fried, so that the taste of the meal has a few more layers! ”

Everyone was amazed when they tasted it.

"The old man understands."

Li Si looked at the churning iron pot and looked at the fire, "With such a high temperature, the ingredients quickly soak into the ingredients, no wonder whether it is vegetarian or meat food, or even meat and vegetarian cooking together, the taste is so rich." ”

With the progressive introduction of Fusu, everyone was amazed, but there was a shocking tsunami in their hearts.

"The people live on food."

Feng Quji exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there were so many edible things all over the mountains.

Mushrooms, yams, bamboo shoots, lotus roots......

Teaching the people to know these mountain treasures will solve the food dilemma of my Daqin to a certain extent?!!

This is a national policy! ”

Even Dr. Ji, who was far away from the kitchen, was moved.

Is that why the Holy One arranged for me to go to the feast?

……

When everyone walked out of the dining hall, the smell of barbecue came to their noses.

Near the tables and chairs, there were two rows of fat pheasants and hares, which were already golden and oily.

The difference is that while the healthy women are tumbling the chickens and rabbits, they keep smearing the puree, in addition to refined salt, there are also peppers, peppercorns, wild onions, and wild garlic, evenly smeared and pickled.

Rich spicy fragrance, fragrant garden.

Miss Yigan was full of tears, looking at it with a smile, but she didn't want to leave.

Suddenly, Feng Quji's eyes looked at the foot of the mountain in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise, and he muttered, "Shaft, it's not simple!"

Accepted these two thorny girls so quickly? ”

But when he saw Li Si and Meng Tian looking at each other, they were instantly not good, and their eyes were about to split.

I saw that this son was very concerned and pretended to be serious, and he actually held Mengmeng Xiaoxiao and Master Li's soft hair in one hand.

What's even more surprising is that the second daughter blushed with shame, but obediently let this guy hold her pink little hand, let it be light, frown from time to time, and smile like a flower from time to time.

"Shaft!" Meng Tian gritted his teeth.

"How is that possible?" Li Si looked shocked.

Xia Hao was laughing with the two beautiful girls, obviously this guy was so happy and satisfied, he really didn't care about the guests who came, and the important ministers were angry for no reason.

Fusu looked at the three of them, and suddenly his heart sank, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "If Xia Hao really accepts these two daughters, wouldn't he also accept the two ministers of the humerus?" ”

"Xia Hao, when is the banquet?"

Meng Tian instantly felt that his cabbage was arched by pigs.

Although I have long known that our cabbage will be arched sooner or later, when I saw this day coming, I was still extremely unhappy and couldn't help but burst out.

Xia Hao reluctantly let go of the second daughter's hand.

First, he held the second daughter's hand and asked for a pulse, diagnosing the blockage of the meridians, and was shocked by the second daughter.

Divine perspective is a unique ability.

Once the simple suit is pushed away, and the secret technique of divine consciousness and silk transformation is obtained, the meridians can be infinitely enlarged and ultra-subtle true qi circulation surgery can be performed.

"At most, in a month, my channeling technique will be refined, and I will help you dredge a few blockages in the meridians, and your cultivation can be improved by one level."

"Really?" The two daughters were shocked.

"There is no joke in the army!" Xia Hao's face was determined.

The second daughter saw that Xia Hao's expression did not seem to be fake, and her attitude was much better.

Later, I showed the second daughter palmistry, what career line, emotional line, peach blossom robbery and the like.

Seeing that racking his brains and searching his intestines and scraping his belly, he can't go on, otherwise he will already contradict himself and cannot justify himself.

……

After enduring his appetite for a long time, the feast finally began.

Li Si, Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Kong Kun, Zhou Qingchen, Chun Yuyue, plus Fusu and Xia Hao, there are exactly eight people, and they fill a table of eight immortals.

There was a maid standing at the table, and under Xia Hao's nod, she poured everyone's noodles and wine first.

The rich and mellow aroma of wine immediately filled the room, and everyone almost made a move, picked up the wine, and quickly twitched their noses: "What kind of wine is this, why is it so fragrant and sweet?" ”

"The smell of this wine is somewhat similar to that of healing alcohol, but it is obviously different!"

"The essence of both is the same, both are highly concentrated liquors."

Xia Hao picked up the wine jue and continued to explain, "The difference is that strong wine is purified by old wine.

And alcohol does not need to consider the taste, new wine is enough, and the concentration of alcohol is much higher than that of strong wine! ”

"Before eating, taste the wine. Adults take small bites, wine tasting is like life, you can taste all kinds of life and all kinds of tastes! Taste three times on the tip of the tongue and swallow slowly ......"

The crowd was already impatient.

"The young man is poor and exquisite, just smelling the smell of this wine, he hangs the old man with wine worms, and I swallow it in one gulp!" Meng Tian said with a big thorn, picked up the wine, entered the whale swallowing the cow drink, and drank it all.

But he saw that his eyes were immediately like copper bells, his face was instantly ruddy and purple, and after two or three breaths, he opened his big mouth and spit out a long breath of wine.

"Straight lady thief, it's really fierce. I'm a rough guy and can't make a debut in my words.

In the mouth like a rich sweet spring, falling into the throat like iron sand scraping, falling into the stomach, like throwing into a piece of red carbon, directly forced to the internal organs, spit out the taste of wine, sweet and fragrant. To put it bluntly, it's so fucking delicious! ”

Kong Kui slowly spit out a mouthful of wine: "This wine is strong and extreme." It's like reading a masterpiece, hearty. ”

Li Si also drank too much, and his face was ruddy: "The mouth is soft, the mouth is sweet, the aftertaste is long, and the mouth is fragrant." It's like my little girl playing, and the aftermath lingers for three days. ”

Feng Qu's eyes returned to normal at this time: "Yijue's belly is fluttering, and he has beaten the living immortals." A stream of heat rushed into the sky, and the brain melon seeds buzzed. ”

……

"Girl, another one? I drank too fast just now, and I didn't taste it?! Meng Tian said.

"My lord, this wine, a meal is at most three lords, and the second lord is placed in the middle of the meal." The maid said softly.

"I don't need to eat, I'll drink!" Meng Tian said stubbornly.

"My lord, Mr. Xia Hao said that today is a gluttonous feast through time and space, mainly to taste food."

The maid explained with a smile, "Let's taste the first dish first, if you don't think the dish is delicious enough, let the adults drink!" ”

"Through time and space, what do you mean?" Zhou Qingchen was stunned.

"It's a taste that adults have never experienced before, and there are many foods that you have never tasted before, which can be called a delicious food on the tip of the tongue!" The maid looked confident and arrogant.

Immediately afterwards, a maid quickly entered, and the small copper bowl in front of each person added rice vinegar, garlic paste and spicy wild pepper.

"This is an oil dish, can also be called a blend, like the ultimate taste, you can put the meat in front of the oil dish and dip it, fresh and spicy, the taste is incomparable. I don't like spicy food, I eat it directly, and the taste is equally delicious. ”

Then the first dish is a large clay pot of snow-white and sticky yam elk stew, on which floats a trace of green shredded wild onions, and the heat is extremely fragrant.

"This oil dish is extremely spicy, just eat it if you like it light!"

"The old man is not even afraid of spirits, but he is still afraid of spicy? I'll come first! Meng Tian said.

"There is no need for the general to try the dishes, just look at the appearance, it must be very fresh and fragrant, eat together!" Zhou Qingchen was impatient.

Dipping it in the oil dish, I took a sip, tears filled with tears, and sweat oozed from my forehead.

Xia Hao kindly reminded: "Drink some soup directly to relieve the spiciness." ”

"No, you don't! Caught very much. ”

"It's so refreshing!"

"If you don't have a hearty experience, you won't be happy!"

"Fresh and spicy, delicious food on the tip of the tongue!"

"I didn't expect this wild yam to be so sweet, fragrant, and delicious."

"Wild yams, all over the mountains. Strengthen the spleen and kidneys, and boil it together with elk meat, a great supplement! ”

Xia Hao added, "With the abundant ingredients, it not only improves the level of taste, but also removes the smell of the meat, which is extremely delicious." ”

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, this dish is called Pheasant Stewed with Mushrooms!" The maid served the second course.

The first pot of elk stewed yam did not even have soup left, and as soon as the second dish was served, everyone began to devour and chew gluttonously.

"I've never eaten chicken ...... so delicious"

"It's made in an iron pot, so it's ......so delicious."

"I didn't expect this mushroom to be so delicious, even better than chicken!"

"Hey, Master Kong Kui, you are a scholar, why are you so vulgar and unbearable?"

"Meng Tian, do you want to call your face? How did you put the basin down? ”

"Some mushrooms are poisonous. However, non-toxic mushrooms are not only delicious, but also a great tonic! As long as you recognize it clearly, the mountains are full of wild game! Xia Hao said.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, this dish is stir-fried rabbit meat with bamboo shoots." The maid serves the third course and announces the name of the dish.

"Catch ...... This bamboo shoot actually has a faint fragrance and sweetness, and it is crispy and refreshing to chew. ”

"Cool ...... This rabbit meat is glutinous and delicate. ”

"It's ...... beautiful"

"These bamboo shoots and hares are both wild resources. As long as it is not a killing hunt, it is inexhaustible. Xia Hao said.

"What is a killing hunt?" Meng Tian was puzzled.

"Hunting has a hunting road. Fierce beasts hunt for food, eat as much as they want, and hunt as much as they want. Never seen a male lion because of the powerful killing that left behind a piece of corpse. ”

Zhou Qingchen was well-informed and explained, "Human beings are too cruel, and sometimes they don't kill for the sake of eating, but for the sake of killing. ”

Meng Tian said indignantly: "I understand, just like Chief Hu entering the country, the places where these mongrels pass are like locusts crossing the border, killing and burning them all. ”

……

"We'll pour you the second wine." The maids poured their wine again.

"This wine is rich and mellow, and it is a superb delicacy. But my Great Qin is recuperating and recuperating, and there is no extra grain to make wine! Feng Qu sighed.

"Your Majesty is considering whether to ban alcohol?!"

As Li Si spoke, he looked at Xia Hao meaningfully, "A luxurious and erosive life will only wear down the will of the young man. ”

"Alcohol is not forbidden."

Xia Hao remembered the failure of the ban on alcohol in the beautiful country in his previous life, "The problems of business have their own rules, and they will be solved by business." ”

Everyone looked at Xia Hao in astonishment.

"From a business point of view, demand is business opportunity, and there is no need to kill it with a stick."

Xia Hao rubbed his hands on the wine lord and continued, "If you adults think that wine is a luxury that consumes will, it is better to produce it in large quantities and sell it to Chief Hu in exchange for strategic materials for cattle and sheep, my Great Qin has more reserves, and at the same time consumes the will of other countries. ”

"But my Daqin grain is not even enough to eat, where does the grain come from to make wine?" Feng went to the fast road.

"Winemaking, not necessarily grain. Wild fruits and flowers all over the mountains can make wine! ”

Xia Hao added, "Let the people pick wild fruits and sell them all to the Bai family during the slack period, so that the people will have more income, and then we will sell the brewed strong liquor to other countries, which is called invigorating the economy!" ”

"This matter, the old man will scrutinize it again, as long as it is for the benefit of the country and the people, it is a great thing, fully support!"

Feng Qujian looked at the empty clay pot, "Hurry up and continue to serve!" ”

……

"This dish, roasted river carp with wild shallots. One tail for each adult! The maid introduced the dishes again.

"This fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is extremely delicious, what is the process?"

"Fry both sides in an iron pan with high-temperature grease until golden brown, and then cook."

"No wonder it's chewy and melts in your mouth! Reach. ”

"Here, rivers, lakes and seas, rich in all kinds of seafood and wild fish. The way of fighting the fish is appropriate, and the people have another appetite. Xia Hao said.

"This time you are in Surabaya County, how to develop the aquaculture industry?" Feng went to the fast road.

"Fishing is the lowest threshold in fishing and hunting. I plan to produce a batch of standardized fishing gear, the efficiency of fishing has increased several times, and the people of Qianshou have more means to beat their teeth and sacrifice. ”

……

"My lord, this is roasted pheasant and roasted hare. Unlike in the past, pheasants and hares were marinated in various ingredients for a day and a night, and there was no fishy smell at all, and it was even more flavorful. ”

Everyone looked at the steaming, golden roast chicken and rabbit, although the belly was round, they couldn't stand the fragrance.

Another wave of gobbling.

……

Full of wine and food, everyone is in a slightly drunk state.

Li Si got up suddenly, straightened his spine that was bent by state affairs, and walked in front of Xia Hao: "Prince Xia Hao, Li Si bows to you on behalf of the people of Daqin, who are in dire straits." ”

Xia Hao was not allowed to refute, and he took a deep look.

Xia Hao hurriedly slid to the side and quickly helped: "Li Xiang, it's a bad boy, I can't help it!" ”

"I understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts!"

Li Si looked around at the crowd, "At present, Daqin is engaged in civil engineering construction on the one hand, including the Great Wall, the Spirit Canal, and the Chi Road......

On the other hand, millions of soldiers are outside the enemy, and the people of Qianshou are indeed unbearable. ”

Feng Quji also got up and said, "People, take food as the sky." I never thought that there were so many edible things in the world, and the taste was so delicious, which would be a great supplement to the people's rations. ”

Fusu pointed to the leftovers and said coldly: "Your Excellency, you can find that such a gluttonous feast even exceeds the specifications of His Majesty's birthday banquet.

However, all the ingredients come from the wild nature, and they don't consume a grain of food from ordinary people.

This means that nature is an inexhaustible treasure! ”

"Xia Hao, I believe that you can make Surabaya County the first rich land of fish and rice in Great Qin.

Li Si said with a straight face, "I will always remember your ambition......

Let the people be fed, clothed, read, progressive, and live with dignity.

I hope this day will come soon! ”

"With the help of all the adults, Hao, I will not disgrace my life!"

……

At the end of the dinner, each guest took home a gift to their heart's content.

It contains a jar of refined salt, a jar of strong wine, and a jar of mountain and wild spicy seasoning.

What they saw, heard, tasted, and heard at this night banquet can make them brag about it for a long time!

Meng Xiaoxiao was boasted by a group of military children that she had become the eldest sister, and she almost became a puddle of mud when she drank, and she had to continue drinking!

And Master Li was drunk and confused, and asked for a large jar of strong wine before he stopped.

Dong'er looked at the second daughter who left with one foot deep and one foot shallow, her brows slightly frowned, and her face was solemn.
