Chapter Ninety-Two: Dark Cuisine

Although the wild boar was rude, he successfully absorbed part of Tan Fengsha's memories in the Xiao Yan Jiao hosted by Lin Fengjin, and Tan Fengsha was Yuan Hao's disciple, so it is no wonder that he said that these things are the Tao, such as a few family treasures.

At this time, Lin Fengjin naturally did not dare to provoke giants such as Yuan Hao, even a behemoth like the Legalist family was not squeezed by Yuan Hao a little difficult to breathe, so he tried every possible way to open up a second position in Northern Qi as a way out, like Lin Fengjin met Yuan Hao, so he was afraid that there was no way to escape.

Fortunately, Yuan Hao and his old man should not be very concerned about Lin Fengjin, let alone pay special attention to his whereabouts. Therefore, Lin Fengjin secretly wiped a cold sweat from his heart, and after looking at it a few more times, he hurriedly retracted into the carriage, and did not dare to come out until the car drove past the Great Northern Residence Sect.

At this time, Lin Fengjin has already seen that it can be said that it is already extraordinarily prosperous, full of que, stele pavilion, moon city, inner city, dedication hall, spiritual platform, inner god wall, outer god wall, corner platform and other buildings, but the color is mostly red, white, gold-based, full of exotic customs, a question before the heart knows, it turns out that this has entered the golden city tent.

Lin Fengjin couldn't help but wonder:

"I've only been in for a short time, and how did I cross the walls and moat without realizing it?"

The steward already smiled smugly:

"Our Jincheng tent in Xirong is born without walls and moats, because our powerful shepherds are the walls of the Jincheng tent, and the flesh and blood of our warriors are the moats of the Jincheng tent, no matter how strong the enemy is, he can't hit the Jincheng tent!"

Hearing what the steward said, Lin Fengjin came to his senses, at the beginning, the Jincheng Tent did not have a city wall, because it could be moved away at any time, but now, it is necessary to attack the Jincheng Tent. First of all, we have to conquer hundreds of thousands of herdsmen, advance all the way from the grassland to here, and then we have to face the poor mountains and bad waters and treacherous weather in Xirong, so since the five countries were established, there is really no example of hitting the Jincheng account.

Next, as distinguished guests, Lin Fengjin and them were naturally placed very properly, and Pang Qi also greeted these subordinates, saying that Lin Gongzi's words were his words, so Lin Fengjin had always admired Master Cai very much, and hoped to meet him later. The steward immediately went to handle it, and soon came back to tell SΓΉ Lin Fengjin, saying that he had made an appointment with Master Cai and could meet tomorrow afternoon.

After coming to the Jincheng tent, it coincided with the celebration of the Queen Mother, and it must have been a surge of people and a strict guard, in order to avoid right and wrong, Lin Fengjin closed the door and did not go out, and even the meals were sent in by Xiao Er. I also talked to the wild boar about what I had seen and heard in that Xunzhou, and I was really embarrassed, and I felt the miracle of heaven and earth.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Fengjin followed the agreement. Go to Songheju in Beicheng to meet Master Cai.

This Master Cai is very obese, he is already grateful, and his head is oily and slippery, if there are a few ring scars. If you put on a monk's robe, you can go straight to becoming a monk.

However, although this Master Cai is fat, his personality is not very good. likes to squint at people, looking like he ignores him, but fortunately, Lin Fengjin didn't make friends with him when he came here, and after talking a few words, he got straight to the point:

"I don't hide it from the master, I am a gluttonous person, I like the world's most delicious food in my life, and when I come here, I want to ask the master to show his skills. ”

Listening to Lin Fengjin's words, two disciples next to him suddenly jumped out and said coldly:

"This son, my master hasn't been in the kitchen for thirteen years, right?"

It turned out that Lin Fengjin had already used his body language very simply at this time, and slapped a silver ticket of five thousand taels on the table.

Master Cai glanced at it slightly, but snorted from his nostrils:

"Didn't my two apprentices just say that the old man hadn't been in the kitchen for thirteen years. ”

Lin Fengjin smiled and said:

"Master, did you come to this Golden City Tent to burn the fire?"

After speaking, he took a silver ticket of 5,000 taels and went up.

The corners of Master Cai's eyes twitched, but he still shook his head slightly:

"Honored guest or please come back"

The latter words didn't come out in a daze, because Lin Fengjin took another silver ticket and went up, and it was 10,000 taels! This is a total of 20,000 taels!

Twenty thousand taels doesn't sound like much, but buying a meal with 20,000 taels is really rare! Just like many enthusiasts save 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy a high-end computer and don't think it's anything, but it is a bit shocking to buy a peripheral like a mouse and keyboard at the same price.

After Lin Fengjin lost 20,000 taels, he was still unsatisfied, and took out a 10,000 taels of silver ticket and held it between his fingers, and said lightly:

"If I'm satisfied, there's an extra 10,000 taels of bonuses. ”

Master Cai sighed, he didn't really wash his hands in a golden basin, the so-called thirteen years of not cooking is just a casual remark, otherwise, what are you doing here without staying at home? Cooking for the Queen Mother's birthday is bound to make no money, it can only be said that the reputation is even louder - the reputation is loud, isn't it for the sake of selling the dishes he makes at a higher price?

Now that Lin Fengjin directly opened a high price in one step, Master Cai naturally bowed to his best, stood up without saying a word, and walked to the back, of course, he didn't forget to take the stack of silver tickets away.

Immediately afterwards, a disciple came and led Lin Fengjin to the small courtyard behind, the plants in this small courtyard are lush and lush, very elegant, there is no shortage of rockery bridges and flowing water, there is Jiangnan charm, and then there are disciples to pour tea for Lin Fengjin to drink, Lin Fengjin as soon as he enters this tea, he knows that there is something particular, the taste of this tea is very light, but there is a lingering fragrance that can not be moved. Obviously, there are some other uses besides removing odors from the mouths of guests.

Lin Fengjin finished drinking a cup of tea, and someone brought a bowl of noodles in the back kitchen, but this noodle is a clear soup noodle, the utensils are white with some azure color, the noodle soup is thick and milky white, and it is very appetizing to look at it, and the noodles are as thin as silver threads, and what is even more amazing. This noodle is clamped with chopsticks on the head, and after picking it up, it is extremely long, and the feeling of this bowl of noodles is only this one noodle!

Seeing this bowl of noodles, Lin Fengjin knew that this trip was worthwhile, and this Master Cai had obviously reached the realm of returning to the basics, and had already begun to work ordinary dishes.

Sure enough, as soon as I ate this bowl of noodles, I felt that the noodles in my mouth could be said to be tendony, and after biting into it. As if it had its own life, it kept sliding and springing its teeth, and with the thick and delicious soup, it made people feel that this bowl of noodles seemed to have its own soul, and the fragrance of the tea that I drank before was still lingering between my lips and teeth, forming a strange fragrance.

Obviously, the Queen Mother's birthday, the most appropriate thing is to eat longevity noodles, this Master Cai has studied painstakingly for so long, and all his thoughts should be on this bowl of longevity noodles. As a result, Lin Fengjin took the lead and tasted it first.

Sure enough, the dragon whiskers (fried bean sprouts) and jade Linglong (tofu soup) made by Master Cai next can also be called exquisite delicacies. But both the mind and the taste were overshadowed by the bowl of Shou noodles in front. But speaking carefully, the taste of this bowl of noodles is the same as the bowl of egg fried rice that I ate in the Zhongtang Palace. It can't make Lin Fengjin reborn and break the last rushing door.

However, Master Cai's craftsmanship is indeed approaching the peak of culinary skills. That is, it is only half a step away, and it is indeed a dedication, so Lin Fengjin will not be stingy, and the 10,000 taels of bonuses will also be distributed.

Originally, Lin Fengjin was going to plan to visit the descendant of Yi Ya, Master Yi, in the afternoon, but after eating this bowl of noodles, he found that he couldn't go, because the taste in this bowl of noodles looked light, but it was timeless and strong, and it was not suitable to taste Master Yi's delicacies in the afternoon, otherwise, the physical properties would clash with each other, but it would not be beautiful, so he could only go again the next day.

This Master Yi can be elected to fight with Master Cai, naturally there is something extraordinary, the cooking skills of the two can be said to have embarked on completely different paths, Master Cai represents ordinary cooking skills, and Yi Ya's vein is a very rare dark kitchen!

Yi Ya was a person from the pre-Qin period, and he was originally an imperial chef, but he has always been limited by his talent and encountered a bottleneck, but he is also a person who is keen on fame, so he has always felt that he has never met talent.

As a result, Yi Ya once heard the Duke Huan he served say:

"It is a pity that the widow has tasted all the delicacies in the world, but he has not eaten human flesh. ”

Huan Gong's words were originally an unintentional joke, but Yi Ya kept this in mind, and wanted to show off his skills in order to win the favor of Huan Gong, so he began to embark on the road of dark cooking, he began to use the meat of death row prisoners and civilians to concoct, and finally after being 100% sure, he gritted his teeth and chose to use the meat of his four-year-old son (the monarch is noble, and he cannot eat the meat of lowly civilians and prisoners).

As a result, at a lunch, Duke Huan drank a small golden tripod that was extremely tender and had never tasted broth, and was amazed and felt that it was extremely delicious, so he asked Yi Ya: "What kind of meat is this?" Yi Ya cried and said that it was his son's meat, in order to pray for the monarch's health to be safe, and kill his son to sacrifice to the lord. Therefore, Huan Gong felt that this person was loyal, and Yi Ya was soaring from then on.

After Yi Ya soared, there was no record of what happened next in the history books, but the reasoning deduced that since the Duke of Huan had eaten the extremely delicious human broth, would he order it again?

Yi Ya tasted the sweetness of dark cuisine and broke through the shackles of his own cooking skills, so will he wash his hands of gold and suddenly repent from now on? As far as his iron heart of blatantly killing his son and inviting favor, it is estimated that he will not, and because of the favor and connivance of the monarch, it is more in line with the situation at that time, it is very likely that Yi Ya has intensified and studied dark cuisine more deeply, so although this vein is not accepted by most people, it has also been handed down.

(Note: I read history books and various ancient novels, and found that ancient China really didn't regard eating human flesh as a big deal, not to mention some relatively obscure books, just take the well-known Water Margin as an example, which describes cannibalism and cannibalism, and there are quite a lot of cannibalism.) οΌ‰

(For example, Song Jiang has eaten people's hearts and livers, Li Kui has also done this, and even summarized the rules in the book, that is, when the hearts and livers of the living people are removed, cold water should be poured on the chest first, so that the heart and liver dug out by splashing the blood are crisp and tender, and it seems that in the concept in the book, the meat on the heart, liver and legs of people is more delicious.) The rest of the parts have not been touched. And when the book describes cannibalism, the people around him are very calm, and it feels like a modern person went to eat some barbecue for supper)

(The book Water Margin was written in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, from which it can be inferred that some social customs and habits at that time - for example, our current online text will never have such a calm cannibalistic bridge, which shows that in the vast history, some cruel facts have also been covered.) οΌ‰

On the second day, Lin Fengjin went to see Master Yi The process was similar, at the beginning, the other party must have set up a score, but Lin Gongzi was so poor at this time that he only had money left, and money opened the way. It can be said that it is invincible.

And this Master Yi is engaged in dark cuisine, and he is also quick to talk about money, and he simply told Lin Fengzhen, since the guests have paid so much money, then please order food.

Lin Fengjin simply ordered the dishes prepared by Master Yi for the Queen Mother's birthday, but Master Yi asked Lin Fengjin rhetorically, can he wait for ten days and half a month.

Lin Feng was surprised, and planned to ask the truth. Master Yi told the story, saying that the dish he prepared for the Queen Mother was actually very simple, just a piece of donkey meat, but. The processing method of this piece of donkey meat is very perverted.

First of all, a sturdy donkey is chosen, and after five or six days of fattening with a special feed, it is locked up for another day or two. First let the belly drain the inventory, and then light a fire around the donkey's cage, and the donkey will be roasted in high heat. Naturally, he was very thirsty, so someone brought him a basin and put it in front of him.

What is in this pot? Of course, it is not water, but the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other ingredients that have been prepared in advance, and after the donkey drinks it, it forms a vicious circle, the more he drinks, the more thirsty he drinks, and when it is almost time, he makes people beat the donkey's back with a flat shoulder, and the donkey screams, so it is natural to tighten the muscles of the beaten place to relieve the pain, and at the same time, the blood veins in the body will also converge to the beaten place.

In this case, the donkey is whipped a few times, and then it is fed the prepared seasoning, and the cycle is about an hour or two, and the donkey is dying.

At this time, the piece of meat that was beaten hard from the donkey was ripped off with a sharp blade, at this time this piece of meat was repeatedly whipped, and the donkey itself would try its best to tighten its muscles, so its meat was already very tight, and the blood was also very full, and the donkey drank so many ingredients also flowed with the blood throughout the body, so the meat naturally had a special taste.

At this time, Master Yi cooked a little, and this piece of spiced donkey meat that was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary was baked, and it is said that it can be eaten with a thousand flavors, and the dragon liver and phoenix marrow are no exception, but there is no taste of donkey meat.

Lin Fengjin listened to this process, and knew that it would be delayed for several days to eat this piece of donkey meat, so he could only shake his head and sigh, so he asked Master Yi what else he was good at.

"According to the recipes of my ancestors, the most delicious should be ginseng fruit soup, followed by hot and tender bamboo shoots, but my qualifications are limited, so these two dishes are not enough, so I can only barely make a double whip soup. ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly understood the meaning of the names of these dishes, and suddenly a chill appeared on his back, and he hurriedly said:

"Stop, stop, I don't touch human flesh. ”

Master Yi suddenly felt a little excited, playing the piano needs a bosom friend to play it very strongly, this chef also needs to meet good diners, in order to be a hero, Master Yi couldn't help but glance at Lin Fengjin, I guess I was talking in my heart What the hell do you don't eat human flesh to come to me for, but the silver of the white flowers is placed in front of him, and there is no reason not to make money, so he can only sigh secretly and say:

"So do you want to try the live monkey tofu, dip the fresh monkey brain with body temperature in my exclusive secret slurry, it really feels like a fairy!"

Lin Fengjin covered his face and shook his head in shame, Master Yi could only continue:

"What about the three calls? Take the young and fat mountain rats that have just been born, raise them purely with fruits, squeak when they are clamped with chopsticks, roll them in the dipping sauce, and scream again, and bite down at the last bite, the fresh and living flesh is mixed in the mouth, and the taste of the dipping sauce is mixed in the mouth, and the tasters all say that it is the best. ”

Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and sighed and shook his head, he didn't dare to look at Master Yi's face as black as the bottom of a pot, so he could only take out another silver ticket and said:

"Please bother the master. ”

Master Yi raised his eyes, looking like he was going to eat people, and looked like he wanted to grab the silver ticket and smash it into Lin Fengjin's face to humiliate him, and by the way, he scolded X your mother, if you have money, you are great, can you entertain people casually? Lao Tzu stopped serving, but Master Yi only grabbed the silver ticket in the end, just raised his hand, and finally put it down, it seems that he is finally reluctant to give up the number on it, and can only sigh:

"This guest is also mouthful, so let's do it, everyone who comes to visit our Yi family is just curious about the bowl of killing soup dedicated to the monarch, but there are really not many people who can really kill the son with the heart, so after several generations of efforts, an improved version has been made, and the vast majority of guests are still acceptable, and it happens that the materials are also complete, so don't ask again, guest officer, and prepare to taste it with peace of mind." ”

Since Master Yi said so, what else could Lin Fengjin say, he himself felt a little embarrassed, so he agreed to wait here, but after about an hour, a clay cup was served, the soup was bright and fragrant, there were small pieces of chicken in it, and there were clumps of pork.

Lin Fengjin took a sip of it, only to feel that in addition to the deliciousness, there was also a very peculiar taste, which was mixed with the spices in the soup, and it seemed to complement it.

This statement seems a bit abstract, but for example, the special taste of milk can be made around it to make a lot of derivative deliciousness, such as the taste of milk + tea is milk tea, and for example, the taste of milk + red dates is red date milk, and for example, the taste of milk + fermentation is yogurt, as well as milk coffee, cream cake

The peculiar taste that Lin Fengjin ate at this time is similar to the "main taste" of milk, and this Master Yi can make a lot of articles around this "main taste", so that diners can get an unprecedented, wonderful taste experience, and when Lin Fengjin finished drinking this bowl of soup, he only felt that the last door of the Qichong Gate seemed to be covered by a thick fog, but at this time it was clearly displayed, and he only needed to add a little more force to completely break it away!

Being able to obtain such a harvest, Lin Fengjin was naturally very happy, and couldn't help but take out his tasting experience and ask Master Yi, but Master Yi's face showed a mysterious smile at this time, and said slowly:

"As the saying goes, the goods sell to the family, and to be honest, the guests can actually taste the best taste of my soup, which is really considered to be a house, but are you really sure you know what kind of ingredients the taste comes from?"

Lin Fengjin suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but say:

"Is this what it is?"

Master Yi narrowed his eyes and said:

"My ancestors started with human flesh soup, so they became enlightened, and our children and grandchildren who are not successful are naturally specialized in this technique. ”

Lin Fengjin's face changed suddenly, and he felt like he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, but Master Yi looked up to the sky and said with a long smile:

"You still can't let go of this guest after all, what is the difference between human flesh and the rest of the meat? But since the guest has spoken first, of course I also have my own considerations, the bowl of soup you just drank is indeed the ingredient of human flesh, but it is accepted by the world.
