Chapter 149: Harmony (1)

"What are you worried about me?" Xiao Mo asked strangely.

Shu Yan expressed his worries and said: "Although it is difficult for me to choose musical instruments, from the dubbing, choreography, to the selection of musical instruments, I can always trace back to the source, and there are roots to follow. But these eight tones, except for Jin Mu, the rest of the items can be said to have nothing to do with cooking, how can they all be related? For example, this leather genus, you have an iron pot for metal, a stone pot for stone, and a bamboo tube for bamboo, so you can't have a leather pot, right? ”

Looking at Shu Yan's hazy appearance, Xiao Mo smiled: "Leather's skin is definitely not used as a pot." However, it is the only edible genus of the eight tones. In this case, it is necessary to consider the edible aspect. My dish is called fried fish roe. ”

"Just by listening to the name, you know that this must be a fresh and creative dish, it must have fish roe? Is it river fish roe or sea fish roe? ”

"I chose the finest cod roe."

"Cod roe, tsk, although I haven't eaten it, it is said that it is a first-class sea treasure."

"Fish roe is fresh, and although it tastes good, it also requires a very high cooking method: the fish roe is lumpy, and when cooked, if the heat is insufficient, the part inside will be in a half-cooked state; If the heat is a little bigger, the black appearance will be very ugly, not to mention, the most precious umami will also be greatly lost. Fry directly in an iron pan, which is easy to mix the flavor of the iron pan; If you want to add water to stew, it will inevitably dilute the original flavor. In order to maintain the original flavor, there must be a compartment between the roe and the pan, which acts as an intermediary between the pan and the roe. And this compartment is only the most suitable for pigskin. Put the fish roe cubes into the eggs until they are evenly blended, then add oil to the pan, spread the tender pork rind in the pan, and then place the fish roe cubes covered with egg wash on the pork rinds and start frying. You can add a little spice, but not too much. In this process, the oil oozing from the pork skin will soak into the roe, and the two flavors will blend perfectly. ”

Shu Yan had cooked pork rind before, and he suddenly remembered a question: "Pork rind will roll up when it is hot, and it won't be tiled all the time?" ”

"Just roll it up, and when it's completely rolled up and the roe is wrapped in it, it's doneβ€”that's what it looks like." As he spoke, Xiao Mo pointed to the plate.

Shu Yan saw this fresh and strange dish and said, "Needless to say, the fish roe inside, just the meat skin on the outside is enough to arouse people's appetite." ”

"That's not going to work." Xiao Mo said, "This dish is only eaten with fish roe inside." Pig skin is mainly used as a wrapping skin, not for eating. ”

Shu Yan smiled secretly: "Really? I'm afraid you're already late. ”

"How?" Xiao Mo looked back, surprised and amused. It turned out that everyone didn't know how to eat this dish, so they didn't throw away the pork skin, but bit it along with the fish roe.

Xiao Mo hurriedly corrected it. Then everyone peeled off the pigskin and took out the fish roe to eat. However, some people, after eating the fish roe, are still satisfied and eat the pork skin alone.

Shu Yan and Xiao Mo smiled, and they didn't stop it, so they arranged the next song - "Baitou Yin". Xiao Mo looked at this lineup, it was very simple, there were only two Maiko, each holding a reel, playing Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun respectively, clapping and singing at the same time. Suddenly remembered the scene of the minced meat that day, so he smiled and said: "When I gave you minced meat and rice that day, you once had the idea of playing the eight notes separately because of that crockpot. I can't believe you actually got a crockpot to make a musical instrument today. Isn't there any other musical instrument besides the clay pot? ”

"There really aren't many instruments in the genus Earth. However, although the appearance of this jar may seem very inconspicuous, it is very appropriate to use it here. Because this piece was composed by Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty. Zhuo Wenjun and the talented Sima Xiangru fell in love with each other and eloped together, but Sima Xiangru was poor, and Zhuo Wenjun, who was born in a wealthy family, did not hesitate to put down his body and sell wine, and faced clay pots and tiles every day. Later, Sima Xiangru turned his back on Wen Jun, and Wen Jun was sad and made this song. Therefore, in order to restore the scene at that time more vividly and appropriately, I discussed with Brother Biyu that it would be inappropriate to only use silk and bamboo to play, and to use crisp instruments such as silk and bamboo. Brother Biyu also changed the word......."

Shi Biyu ...... Where did it go? The conference lasted for most of the day, Shu Yan and Xiao Mo actually forgot about the other principal, and after this mention, they found that Biyu didn't know when to leave. The two of them looked around the hall a few times, but found no trace.

If it were during the usual rehearsals, Biyu's disappearance would be completely normal. But at this critical juncture today, as the chief teacher of music and dance, he actually left it alone and did not know where to go. This made Shu Yan and Xiao Mo both puzzled and surprised, angry, but helpless, so they could only go with him.

The two maiko in this dance are both womenβ€”because of the principle that men and women are not allowed to dance, they are generally not allowed to dance together, and Sima Xiangru is also dressed as a woman.

Grievance is the main tone of this song. The two Maiko first performed Xiangru and Wenjun meeting to elope, and then the two sold wine because of poverty, and finally Xiangru left, Wenjun became an abandoned woman, writing poems and complaining alone. This is the end of the original word. However, due to today's occasion, Shu Yan revised the plot. added another scene in the back - Sima Xiangru repented when he saw the letter, and the two reconciled.

Because there are women dressed as men, Xiao Mo's curiosity was aroused, and he gradually entered the play. When singing the sentence "Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decides with each other" in the song, Xiao Mo suddenly said half-to himself: "Are men inattentive? ”

"How can you say that, there are many single-minded men in the world."

"Not necessarily. From ancient times to the present, all kinds of lyrics and folklore are infatuated women, how many negative can you name? ”

"This ......" is an ancient allusion, and there are really not a few men who are single-minded, and even in the "Book of Songs", a lot of them are abandoned women's grievances. Shu Yanchu was asked, stunned for a while, and then said, "That's because dedicated men don't understand romance, and their love life is very plain, so naturally there are no anecdotes to circulate; And the amorous man must be a lot of romances, either a talented and beautiful woman with a lover who eventually becomes a family, or abandons his wife to find a new love, which produces an abandoned woman or something. In this way, people will talk about it, so these kinds of stories have been handed down. ”

"So which one do you belong to? Dedicated man, or amorous man? Xiao Mo glared at him and asked.

"I'm certainly not the latter." Shu Yan found that Xiao Mo seemed to be fascinated by this dance, and felt funny, "This is just acting, why do you pull me?" He didn't understand how Xiao Mo was so interested in such a simple and plain piece of music that Xiao Mo was originally an active person who should be more fond of lively music and dance such as the Turtle Dance.

"I wish to have one heart, and my head will not be separated." This sentence is sung by "Zhuo Wenjun", and it is also Xiao Mo's heart.

When Sima Yan first saw that this piece had been arranged, he was not very happy. He had heard this song "Baitou Yin" before, and although the lyrics were beautiful, it was a song of complete grievance. thought in my heart: Shu Yan and Shi De are young after all, and they pay more attention to the love of children, so they chose such a song regardless of the occasion. He was patient and saw the end with a calm face, but he didn't expect to add a play, which was a festive ending. And the two sentences added "Today is relatively happy, long live the prolongation period" are very opposite to today's occasion, so they are happy.

Suddenly, seeing the eunuch bring a hot ball of mud that had been burnt, Shu Yan knew that this must be a dish of the Tu genus corresponding to the Xuan, but he didn't know what was sold here. I don't know why, the eunuch held a small mallet in his hand and struck it on the mud ball. As the ball of mud shattered, revealing something, the aroma burst out of it.

"Home-roasted quail."

After listening to the names of the dishes in Xiao Mobao, everyone was just like the emperor, and in addition to being surprised, they began to taste it, and wanted to know what was the difference between the quail burned by this novel method and the ordinary quail burned in an iron pot.

"Looks like this novelty home-roasted quail must be very popular." Shu Yan looked at everyone's eating and sighed, "It's a pity, I still haven't had a chance to taste it." ”

Xiao Mo tilted his head: "How could it be missing you?" Even if there is nothing for the emperor to eat, there must be something for you to eat. ”

Shu Yan was overjoyed: "Did you leave me a copy?" ”

"Not only this dish, but also every dish, including the five grains and bamboos, I have left you a copy of each dish."

Shu Yan was infinitely happy, and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of using clay to make food?" ”

Xiao Mo showed a proud look on his face: "This is also thanks to my experience in the wilderness. I used to travel abroad, and I often traveled to deserted places, with no village in front of me and no shop behind me, and I had nowhere to spend my money, so I had to find a way to solve the problem of eating. At this time, I often use ecstasy needles to catch some small rabbits, small, etc., but I can't carry kitchen knives and other utensils, and there is no hot water, and the fur and internal organs of these prey are not easy to remove, so I use the method I have heard before, wrap the prey in mud and roast it on the fire. The fur of the prey is stained with the dirt, and when the soil is charred, the meat is cooked. When the scorched earth is cracked, the fur will be completely peeled off along with the scorched earth, revealing tender flesh. ”33

"When fired by this method, the fur is peeled off very thoroughly, but what about the internal organs?"

Xiao Mo smiled: "You haven't experienced it, so naturally you don't know." It turns out that there is a membrane wrapped around the internal organs of the prey, and after this method of roasting, just tear the prey, and the membrane will wrap around the internal organs and peel off together. ”

Shu Yan listened to it and secretly admired, and said, "It turns out that this is your old method." ”

"Well, among the eight sounds, the first thing I determined was this dish of the earth genus. It's just that today's technique is different from the one I use in the field, after all, it is such a high-end and formal occasion. Although the wild practice can remove the fur and organs, it will inevitably leave a little dirty smell, and there is no seasoning, which is an expedient measure and a last resort. Today, I first removed the quail's fur and internal organs, added salt, pepper, green onions, etc., and wrapped a layer of paper on the outside of the quail, and then wrapped it in clay and roasted it. ”

After listening to Xiao Mo's answer, Shu Yan said: "Today's method is certainly more delicious, but why do I want to taste that primitive method more." ”

Xiao Mo glanced at Shu Yan: "You don't know how to be blessed in the blessing, if you really want to eat, you will have the opportunity to go to the wild with me in the future, and I will do it for you." Now, let's move on to the next song. ”

Park Hee-kim, the envoy of Jinhan, saw two people on the stage, both holding a stack of cups and plates. He couldn't help laughing, and ran to Xiao Mo and said, "Zhen Yu Ling, are your people so busy that they don't send them to the banquet with cups and plates, but run to the stage, do you want to perform with plates?" ”

Faced with this slightly mocking kind reminder, Xiao Mo snorted: "My people are not dizzy, but you are dizzy." How do you see our people dressed up like that? ”

Only then did Park Hee-Kim realize that the eunuchs who had been rumored were all wearing crowns and hats and wearing long robes. The people on the stage only wore narrow trousers, no long shirts, and a bundle of scarves.

"Once you're on stage, you're going to perform." Shu Yan looked at Park Hee-Kim who looked embarrassed, "That's half of your guess." ”

"Take the plate...... Performance? ”

Some people died, but not completely......
