Chapter 94: The Kirin Perch
It took nearly 5 minutes for Chen Xiaomi to patiently read the chat records between Wei Yi and Du Yue'er, and looked at Wei Yi with burning eyes: "She likes you." ”
Wei Yi looked up in surprise, and he could see it just by the chat history?
"You're right, she does like me, and I've rejected her."
"When did you refuse?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
"That's the day the chat history is cut."
Wei Yi honestly confessed, there was nothing in the first place, there was no need to hide it.
Chen Xiaomi counted the time, a few days before the two confirmed their relationship.
"Why did you reject her?"
"There are two main reasons, one is that I only see her as a friend all along, and the other is because of you."
"Really? Don't say nice things to make me happy. Chen Xiaomi's eyes were shining, and she was very happy.
"Of course it's true, I've never lied to you, I am, and I will always be."
"You're so nice!"
Chen Xiaomi was moved by this sentence, and couldn't help but open her hands and hug Wei Yi tightly.
Wei Yi felt the softness coming from his left arm, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Chen Xiaomi also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and quickly let go of her hand, sat up straight, and her cheeks flew a little red.
After all, they just got together, and the two were still a little restrained by their too intimate actions.
In the private room, there was a kind of silence that was not broken until the waiter came in with the first course.
The first course is called unicorn sea bass.
"Let's start eating."
"Good!"
In the face of the food, Chen Xiaomi completely forgot the blushing heartbeat just now, and his index finger moved.
This dish is very particular about the presentation, several ingredients are cut into slices, blended, different colors, uniform and orderly, just like a unicorn wearing scale armor, so it takes this name.
Wei Yi picked up a piece of sea bass meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, the meat was white like snow, fat and tender, less thorny and no fishy, the mouth and tongue of food were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless.
The beauty of perch is known all over the world, otherwise how could there be a Jin man Zhang Han's walk away and "the thought of perch"?
According to the "Book of Jin, Wenyuan, Zhang Han Biography" records, during the Western Jin Dynasty, Jiangnan writer Zhang Han was an official in Luoyang, in the autumn of one year, the west wind suddenly rose, the cold wave is coming, he suddenly remembered that the sea bass and lettuce in his hometown are fat, and then chanted: "The autumn wind is flying, and the perch in Wujiang is fat." Three thousand miles away from home has not returned, and it is hard to help but look up to the sky and grieve. ”
After singing, he resigned and went back to his hometown to eat sea bass to satisfy his hunger.
Since then, the beautiful talk of "the thought of the perch" has been passed down to this day.
Among the sea bass, the Matsue sea bass is the most famous.
As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was known as the four famous fish of China together with the Yellow River carp, the Yangtze River anchovy and the Taihu Lake whitebait.
It is said that this guy is born out of phase, and the general sea bass only has two gills, and it has four gills, so it is also called four gills perch.
Perhaps it is precisely because of its rare and strange birth that it is favored by emperors and generals.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River and praised after tasting the Songjiang perch: "The golden jade is also delicious." ”
Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and after encountering the perch soup, he was full of praise and ordered to pay tribute every year.
There is a chapter in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that writes "Zuo Ci plays Cao Cao", which says that Cao Cao set up a banquet, Zuo Ci said: "Fang Mei, the one who will be the perch in the Songjiang River", Cao Cao said: "Thousands of miles apart, can An take it?" Ci said: "Why is this difficult! "Teach you to bring a fishing rod and fish it in the fish pond under the hall.
Dozens of large perch were caught in an instant and placed on the temple.
Cao said: "There is this fish in the pond. Ci said: "Why does the king deceive him? There are only two gills of perch in the world, but Songjiang perch has four gills: this can be distinguished. ”
The officials regarded it as a four-cheek fruit.
The so-called four-cheek perch is actually just the dazzle of the ancients.
This fish has a dent in the front and back of its gills, and its shape and color resemble gill holes, and there is an orange-red stripe on the gill cover, which looks very similar to four exposed gill lobes.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the Songjiang perch has been on the verge of extinction and has been listed as a national protected animal, and we can only feel the beauty of the perch from the sighs of the ancient literati and writers after they were full of wine and food.
In the poem "Pan Fang Gong West Lake", Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty praised the sea bass he ate: "The drumming is ripe, and the knife is flying." ”
During the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan "replied": "People come and go on the river, but they love the beauty of sea bass." ”
In the Yuan Dynasty, the poet Zhang Yong still remembered the perch, he said in the inscription poem of "Autumn Water System Boat Map": "Xiaogu Mountain to Penglangji, the old tree with wind and yellow leaves flying. Who parked the boat in the autumn color, caught a three-foot perch fat. ”
And Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, was also full of praise for the perch, and he first highly praised the perch from the perspective of a diner - "White snow poetry through the ages, Qingxi is drunk on the five lakes boat." The sea bass is delicious and the autumn wind rises, so it is good to visit the cave with you. ”
Subsequently, the medicinal value of sea bass was summarized with the rigorous attitude of medical workers - according to the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Sea bass is sweet and warm, beneficial to the functions of muscles, bones, intestines and stomach. Gill Ganping, which has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. ”
In fact, whether born in the sea or in the small river, the freshness of sea bass will make people addicted for life, just like Zhang Han suffers from seasonal "emotional out-of-control".
Unexpectedly, there are so many emperors, generals, and literati who have a soft spot for sea bass, and Wei Yi eats and eats, feeling that he also has a bit of a literati atmosphere.
