Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 351 A Meal of Home Cooking

Chapter 351
The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

No gratuitous overtures.Before Li Erye pointed it out, everyone agreed that Jin Yu was just a prodigal son, a capable man who made good friends with the Qin family and the Cheng family.But after Li Erye pointed out the "promote planting method", all the families saw an opportunity, an opportunity to obtain the Jin family's secret method of planting!
What is it to pay some gold and silver?By getting closer and building a good relationship, you can take the lead in high-yield planting methods!This is the real benefit!There are more aristocratic families in the world, and there are too many monks and few porridge. Who will come first?Even if Jinyu doesn't have the right to make decisions, he still has the right to make suggestions, right?That's why there was the scene of Jin Yu scrambling to give gifts after his title was raised.

This matter is also beneficial to Boss Li Er. He came forward and took out Jinyu's planting method. Whether it is rewarding the method or sharing the rain and dew, the various families and powerful families have indeed gained tangible benefits, right?When the tax is raised again, who has the nerve to stop it?Next time there is such a good thing, do you still want to get involved?

For Jin Yu, status and prestige are benefits that can be seen and grasped, and they are also a very good amulet!

Win-win cooperation, everyone is very positive.

After understanding the cause and effect, Jin Yu felt relieved, but he didn't make any plans, the most urgent thing at the moment was to prepare a table of home-cooked dishes with experience and wait for the bosses and family representatives who came to congratulate him.At Jin Yu's level, he can only cook the dishes of later generations, such as bear paws, deer tongues, pangolins, etc., and he has never even seen them, let alone cooked them.

Although it is a home-cooked dish, it still goes well with delicacies from mountains and seas.

After two years of subtle influence, the city of Chang'an has been able to accept large tables and high chairs for dining, instead of kneeling like before.

For this banquet, Jin Yu was very attentive, and he had personally seen the menu and everything.Sea cucumber is a dish, and it has been soaked in several pots in advance.The common practice is to use oyster sauce, but there is really no such thing, so Jin Yu ordered to boil the broth, not to mention, the taste is really good.

Now that I think of oyster sauce, there is no reason to let it go.In this era when there is a lack of umami seasoning machines, I believe that oyster sauce is still very popular. Although ordinary people cannot afford it, there are also many powerful and aristocratic families.Is it difficult to boil oyster sauce?It's really not that difficult, it's just a matter of trying. Anyway, oysters are everywhere on the seaside these days, and the cost is almost zero. This business can be done.However, Jin Yu intends to give the sale of oyster sauce to the Qin family, Mr. Qin's feet can't be in vain!

Sea cucumber is the only seafood dish, let’s forget about kelp, that stuff is incompatible with white wine, and there is no other seafood. Even if it is transported from the sea to Chang’an by horse, the stench can travel three streets away.

With seafood, mountain delicacies are indispensable.Bacon and bamboo shoots, Mushu pork, and white fungus with garlic are all good dishes.Relatively speaking, bamboo shoots are relatively cheap because they are not eaten much.The price of fungus and white fungus is shockingly high, but you may not be able to buy them even if they are expensive.This thing is pure wild, with very harsh growth conditions. It has high requirements for temperature, humidity, light conditions, and rotten wood. Coupled with the water lost in drying, a catty of fresh ones can produce two Three taels, the output was not high, and this year's new products hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Rui sent people to three dry goods stores to buy five or six catties.

Hearing the painful price, Jin Yu became more determined to tinker with artificial breeding. Boss Li Er paid for the scientific research funds, and Jin Yu didn't feel bad at all.

There are all delicacies from mountains and seas, but fish is also indispensable.The history of eating fish in China is very long, but there are not many ways to eat it.There are only two types: cooked and raw.Cooked food is basically boiled, with a little salt and cornel sprinkled, the taste is pretty good... raw food is fish meat, that is, sashimi.There are many people who like to eat sashimi, and their preferences vary.Cao Zhi likes to dip it in shrimp sauce, and Yang Ying's father likes to eat sea bass and fish sticks.The Tang Dynasty was the peak period for eating sashimi, and many poems have been handed down, such as Li Bai, Wang Changling, and Bai Juyi, all of whom are old sashimi eaters.The dipping materials are also different, generally speaking, it is nothing more than green onion, ginger, soy sauce, mustard, and salt.

The hot pot fish doesn't look good, and some of them can't be sold, so Jin Yu wants to make grilled fish.The fish in the lotus pond at home are not too small, and they happen to be sold in multiple markets.There are mostly grass carp and silver carp in the lotus pond, which are good to eat grilled.There are a few carp in the pond, but Mr. Li and his father had an order first to avoid taboo surnames and not allow the people to eat carp. When they were in Lanzhou, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so it was good to have something to eat. No one paid attention to this prohibition, but There are many people in Chang'an City, there is no need to break the taboo because of this, so all the carps were fished out and thrown into the river.

One person attains enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.Because of Jinyu's promotion to the title, there are not a few chickens, ducks, and pigs who have ascended to heaven.

Jinjiazhuang has raised chickens and ducks for nearly two years, and already has a good quantity foundation.Females can be raised to lay eggs and hatch, and the role of males is greatly weakened. Keep a few for pressing and crowing, and the rest can be eaten.

The duck is still delicious roasted, and the excess can be made into air-dried duck and eaten slowly.Chicken can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as stewed, fried, fried, and marinated.

There are many kinds of dishes that can be cooked with pork.Although the pigs still retain some wildness these days, with a bad temper and irritability, a long nose and mane, and some sticky meat, who is Jinyu?He still knows the method of improving the taste of pork. The incitement project started more than a year ago, so all the pigs slaughtered this time are raised castrated pigs, and the quality of the meat has improved a level compared to before.

The pork skin is frozen, full of collagen, Q bomb!Pig's trotters served with vegetables are simply the most beautiful in life and Lao Tie's favorite.Fat fat as thick as two fingers is an excellent ingredient for braised pork!Pork head meat is the best partner with wine.Of course, meatballs and fried lotus root are the must-have signature dishes of Jinfu.

At the end of spring, green vegetables are already available. At this time, the hard vegetables are meat. If there is a banquet in cold winter, the guests will love green vegetables even more.People are so strange, they are less sought after, and some around them are not favored.

Jinyu's home-cooked meal was very successful and won praise from the guests.The wealthy families in Chang'an all agreed that if there are good seeds, they can use their own good land as a test field to promote planting methods.Even the representatives of the various clans in Chang'an said that they took out various fields outside Chang'an as test fields to promote the planting method.No one forced Jinyu to express his position at this time, they just showed their attitude and Jinyu understood, and everyone tacitly understood.

The dishes prepared were lean and welcoming, with very little left over.Even Jinyu's wine collection in recent years has not been spared.High-quality wine has only been released for a few years. Although the taste is not good, what Jin Yu keeps can be called old wine in the cellar.

Looking at the empty cellar, Jin Yu decided to ask Yang Ying to dig a bigger wine cellar while repairing the mansion.Now the high-quality wine produced by the Cheng family is top notch. Even if Wuliangye is not available at present, Jin Yu plans to try brewing sorghum wine. Although sorghum is cheap, sorghum wine is delicious, and it has been stored for ten years.
 I wish all book friends: Happy Chinese New Year and happy family!Good luck in the Year of the Dog!
