The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 55 Food of the Tang Dynasty
Five hundred crowns is quite a lot for Li Zhi and Li Mingda who are still living in the palace and have not established a mansion. Li Mingda's rebuke made Li Zhi have nothing to say, so he could only lean on the table depressed face, with a look of bitterness and regret.

Fortunately, at this time, Li An came to the rescue and said: "It's nothing. It's just five hundred coins. We didn't plan to make money today. We just came to build a good reputation. After these people sold the rock candy back, they tasted the rock candy. Know the benefits of rock sugar and promote it with others, so that more and more people will know about our rock sugar.

That way we will make more money in the future, so what Zhinu did is not wrong. Look, now a thousand kilograms of rock candy have been sold out, which means more people will know about our rock candy.

Well, today can be considered a complete success. Let's close the business now and go have a meal together. "

"That's great. I'm here to treat you to this meal today. How about we try our Persian wine together?" Suddenly, Lao Jin's voice sounded.

It turned out that Lao Jin had never left, just following Li Zhi and Li Mingda silently, like a follower. Li An was so surprised that he didn't even notice that he was almost frightened by talking so abruptly.

However, Li An did not refute Lao Jin's face, and still nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Li An nodded in agreement, Lao Jin was extremely happy and said with great joy: "Mr. Li, you, Prince Jin and Her Royal Highness the Princess will go to clear the place later, and everyone will come to my Persian residence later. Don’t worry, the wine is the best wine and will definitely not disappoint His Royal Highness King Jin and His Highness Princess Jinyang.”

After Lao Jin left happily, Li Zhi also nodded: "This Lao Jin is really good."

When I read novels in the past, I always saw that the protagonist of the novel impressed many aristocratic children with his food. The braised pork, braised pork ribs, and hot pot made the aristocratic children and even the royal children unable to stop eating.

But now Li An saw the Tang Dynasty delicacies prepared by Lao Jin. To be honest, he really didn’t know what to say for a while.

In the Persian mansion, Li An, Li Zhi, Li Mingda, Li Duoduo, and Lao Jin sat at one table, and several tables were prepared below for Liu Fangzi and others to eat and drink. They were not qualified to sit with Li An and others. Together, it may be a bit cruel to say, but it is the truth.

Sitting is kneeling on a soft cushion. Some people will be surprised that it is the same as in childhood. Let’s put it this way, people in childhood actually learn from our Tang Dynasty, sashimi, and clogs. , tea ceremony, and kneeling. They are basically typical symbols of the Tang Dynasty. However, we have been evolving, but we learned it well in my childhood and inherited it.

The carp streamers used in childhood are hung when children grow up. This is also imitated from the Tang Dynasty. However, in the Tang Dynasty, carp streamers were hung during the Chinese New Year.

Li An is not used to sitting on his knees, but among the current furniture in Datang, there are no chairs, square tables, etc. None of these good furniture are available, which is what Li An is planning to think about next.

After a while, after everyone was seated.

Lao Jin quickly asked his servants to start serving the dishes. The first dish was called Hunyang Shihu. The recipe of this dish was very complicated.First remove the feathers and internal organs of the goose, stuff meat and glutinous rice into the belly, and then season it.

Then take a sheep, remove the hair and intestines, put the goose into the sheep's belly, sew it up and roast it over the fire. When the mutton is cooked, you can eat the goose meat inside, and the mutton cannot be thrown away. food.

As soon as the food arrives, the aroma will really make your mouth water. The ancients were very smart. Even without MSG, the delicacies they made are definitely not comparable to modern braised pork and braised pork ribs.

The dishes that followed were even more dazzling. Not only did the names sound good, but the aroma was also really addictive.

Lao Jin’s hard-working introduction: Jintou Chun: fried and grilled quail meat cubes.

Donkey Stuffed with Warm and Cold Flowers: Use Huadiao wine to steam donkey meat, which needs to be thoroughly cooked.

Soft-shell turtles are cooked everywhere: duck egg yolk and mutton fat are used to cook soft-shell turtles.Grilled food: mince the mutton, coat it with soy flour, and then fry it.

Tangyuxiu meatballs: Beat eggs into the minced meat, make meatballs and cook later.

Fan Body Jianlu: A food made from animal livers with patterns carved on it.

Tanghua Yunmeng Pork: Various ingredients are wrapped in meat skin, then pressed into shape and cut into thin slices.

Guangming Shrimp Grilled: A kind of grilled shrimp. The reason why it is called Guangming means that the shrimp body is bright.

Milk-stuffed fish: Milk (perhaps solidified cheese) is stuffed into the belly of the fish and cooked.

The rice is Qingfeng rice. This Qingfeng rice is made of crystal rice (crystal clear steamed rice), bayberry powder, borneol, cow cheese (semi-solidified food made from milk), etc. Mix these ingredients together and put them together. In the tank, put it in the ice pool, and wait until it is completely cold before eating.

The last thing on the menu is wine. Lao Jin’s wine is not simple at all. It is brewed by adding a flower called Tuode flower into the wine. This wine not only relieves heat and plague, but also strengthens the spleen and eliminates food. It combines medicinal effects, sir. Children can drink it.

You must know that the food on this table is only available to rich people like Lao Jin. How good is the food in the palace and the food from the rich and powerful families? One braised pork and one braised pork ribs. Or hot pot, to be honest, it really can't attract these princes, princesses or noble children.

And what is pork?
Pork in the Tang Dynasty was cheap meat. If you let the princes and princesses eat cheap meat, and they don’t kill you, how could you still eat it so deliciously that you can’t stop eating it, even if it’s highly incense?
Even the table in front of them was eaten by Li Zhi and Li Mingda every day. Li Mingda liked grilled shrimp, Li Zhi liked donkey stuffed with warm and cold flowers, and Li An and Li Duoduo liked them all.

The roast goose and two goose legs in the sheep's belly were eaten by Li Duoduo. When Li Mingda met Li Duoduo for the first time, Li An asked Li Duoduo to call Li Mingda aunt, and the sound was milky. Auntie really made Li Mingda happy, and then directly took off a piece of phoenix pendant from her body and gave it to Li Duoduo.

The little niece Li Duoduo was very caring. During the meal, she would sit next to Li Duoduo and eat whatever she wanted. She kept eating, and he followed Lao Jin to pour a glass of wine for everyone.

The alcohol content of this wine is not high, it is similar to fruit wine. Li Duoduo can also drink it. After one sip, it is sweet and the taste is still good. Li Zhi nodded with liking and said: "The wine is not bad."

When Li Zhi said he liked it, Lao Jin quickly smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin likes it. Lao Jin still has ten barrels here and will give them to His Highness King Jin."

Li Zhi nodded. Seeing Li Zhi nodding and not refusing, Lao Jin was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Lao Jin worked so hard just to get acquainted with a prince, so that he, Lao Jin, would also have a master. People, it is very difficult for foreigners in Chang'an City. If you have a master, it means you have a backer. In this way, Lao Jin will be much more comfortable.

It's just that Lao Jin is not qualified to be Li Zhi's servant now. Lao Jin still has to wait for a better time.

After everyone had eaten and drank, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. However, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Zhi drank more wine. His face turned red and he suddenly sighed sadly and pinched Li Duoduo next to him. The little face said: "Hey Duoduo, uncle Zhimu is very happy with you today, but tomorrow, your uncle Zhimu will be miserable."

Li Duoduo chuckled, but Li An was startled. He looked at Li Mingda in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with the young slave?"

Li Mingda put a piece of turtle into Li Duoduo's vegetable bowl without raising his head and said with a smile: "Hee hee. This has nothing to do with Brother Li. Brother Ninth cannot finish the homework left by his father, so it will be due tomorrow." If you fail to complete the period, you will need a scolding, and if it is serious, you will be grounded, so Ninth Brother is sad."

"That's it!" Li An nodded and asked: "What kind of homework? Maybe we can help you. After all, three barbers can equal one Zhuge Liang."
