Chapter 55: Eat a big meal
What happened next was not much of a surprise.
Long Zaiyun led everyone to the top of the hall, where a sumptuous feast had already been placed.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Xiao Wang was a little stupid.
It's the first time I've ever seen such a sumptuous banquet when I've grown so big.
The dish is not too famous, only an amazing name, Manchu and Han full feast.
The famous Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet was a court feast in the Qing Dynasty. It not only has the characteristics of palace dishes, but also has the essence of local flavors, highlights the special flavor of Manchu and Han cuisine, barbecue, hot pot, shabu-shabu is almost indispensable, and at the same time shows the characteristics of Han cuisine, grilling, frying, stir-frying, boiling, roasting, etc., which is the treasure and the highest state of Chinese cuisine culture.
The Manchu and Han full banquets were originally a kind of full banquets made by the Manchus and Han people when banquets were held in the Qing Dynasty court. There are generally at least one hundred and eight kinds of dishes served at the Manchu and Han banquets, and fifty-four kinds of southern and northern dishes. The dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty are salty and sweet, meat and vegetarian, with a wide range of materials, fine materials, and all-encompassing delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Most of the treasures in the so-called "Manchu and Han Dynasty Banquets" are special products of Heilongjiang: such as rhino nose, fish bones, fish roe, lion's mane mushrooms, bear paws, hash toads, deer tails, leopard fetuses and other rare raw materials.
Before the Qing Dynasty, the palace banquet was very simple. For general banquets, animal skins are spread in the open air, and everyone gathers around and eats on the ground. The state banquet attended by the emperor was only set up with a dozen tables or dozens of tables, and it was also the meat of cows, sheep, pigs, and beasts, which was cut with a feeding knife.
After the clearance, the situation has changed a lot. Among the six ministries and nine secretaries, there is a special Guanglu Temple Qing, who is in charge of the banquet and the banquet of the national ceremony. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, the diet was not very particular, but soon on the basis of the original Manchu traditional diet, it absorbed the characteristics of the Central Plains Southern Cuisine and Northern Cuisine, and established a relatively rich court diet.
Today's scene is the most formal ritual in the legend.
Before entering the table, two pairs of incense, tea and hand dishes are served; there are four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four kan fruits and four candied fruits on the table; after entering the table, cold dishes are served first, and then hot stir-fried vegetables, large dishes, and beets are served in turn.
On this big table, in fact, there are only two people, Long Zaiyun and General Yin, as well as the four people who greeted them, Jin Wuwang, Night Master Dog Vigil, Mr. Si Chen, and Yang Bufan. In fact, there are not 108 dishes on the table.
That's not beautiful, and you can't finish it, besides, it's definitely a local tyrant style.
In fact, one hundred and eight dishes are selected from the most representative 36 kinds of dishes, which are absolutely not eaten in other places, and even if you have money, I am afraid that there is no place to buy them.
The person in charge of introducing is Yang Bufan.
Xiao Wang listened to his introduction, and his mouth watered.
"Two distinguished guests, what we choose today is the casserole simmered deer tendon, shredded chicken white fungus, osmanthus fish sticks, eight-treasure rabbit dice, Luohan prawns, skewered fried fresh shellfish, fried beef tenderloin with green onions, oyster sauce chicken, white grilled fish lips, braised fish bones, scallion braised shark skin...... "Yang Bufan said vigorously, and some dishes should be introduced with what raw materials are used.
Xiao Wang was so angry, and said in his heart, my stomach is so hungry that my front and back are sticking to my back, what are you still doing there. Looking at this sheep is extraordinary and dignified, I didn't expect it to be such a boring guy.
Finally, Yang Bufan said: "Please dine with the guest and the helper." ”
Xiao Wang let out a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to eat a large piece.
A leader-like figure hurriedly walked over and whispered something in Long Zaiyun's ear.
Long Zaiyun's face changed drastically and he stood up.
"Tiger King and Wang Shaoxia, please use it slowly, I have something important, just come when I go." ”
