Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Lian Liu felt that this matter was tricky. Generations of military commanders in his family had smashed their heads in getting along with civil servants. Since childhood, the elders in the family taught him to be careful when dealing with civil servants. So he looked at the stew in front of him. I dare not move the chopsticks.

If everyone eats steamed buns but he eats meat, in such a comparison, is it to pour dirty water on him and say that he disrespects the prince?

When he was wondering, the prince stared down from the upper floor.

He had just bathed, simply tied his hair, and rushed towards the dining table with joy and excitement, and even a little bit of playfulness, not at all like the lofty appearance that Lian Liu imagined.

The prince looked at the sauce jar with a bigger smile.

He sat on the main seat and lifted up his robe: "You have been waiting for a long time, let's have a meal, it's all brothers, don't be cautious." After speaking, he caught a glimpse of Lian Liu who was sitting on the table.

Although the prince was hungry and couldn't wait to eat, he still remembered his demeanor as a prince and nodded to Lian Liu, "General Lien."

Six consecutive salutes: "His Royal Highness."

Generally, everyone has to say greetings at this time, such as explaining the day’s itinerary, politely, etc., but the prince did not follow the common sense and said hello perfunctorily: "Okay, everyone move chopsticks and chopsticks. ."

He looked at the sauce jar and calculated the way back.

If you don’t have to hurry, you have to eat three meals a day on time. Add another supper, isn't it too much?

Remembering the lesson of losing the sauce bottle carelessly this time, he said: "Let's follow the rules and don't squander it."

Even six pointed ears, splurge? Splurge on gold and silver jewelry? I feel that I heard something incredible.

The sauce jar was placed in front of him, and the prince smiled slightly: "I should divide it."

He picked up a clean spoon, scooped out a spoonful and sprinkled it in the stew, stirred it with public chopsticks, and the pale white stew suddenly turned brownish red.

People are always greedy, and the prince sighed: "It's a pity that only the gravy can be tasted, not tasty."

Xie Xun took out the letter and read the cooking guide given by Jiang Shuyao: "My wife said it can be used to stir-fry rice. It is very simple. It can also be used to stir noodles and tastes good. If you want to stir-fry meat, add a spoonful of taste. It will also get better, but it’s a pity that the cooks in the inn do not know how to cook."

The prince came with great interest and asked the chef to prepare a large bowl of plain noodles, add mushrooms and minced meat sauce to mix, the white and firm noodles are wrapped with fried mushrooms and minced meat, chewing tender and springy, sometimes mixed With a few crushed peanuts, the taste is rich.

So everyone divided the noodles and the sauce. After eating the noodles and slurping the noodles, they finished the steamed buns, and finally drank the salty and spicy soup with the smell of meat and the minced mushroom sauce. It was very satisfying. .

Even Liuben was suspicious. Seeing that they were so fragrant eating a large white steamed bun and plain noodles one by one, he couldn't help but suspect that there was a conspiracy in this matter.

Isn’t it just a spoonful of sauce? As for?

Although his family doesn't pay much attention to food, he also hired a cook who knows how to cook. After adding oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, it is just like that. There is no authentic stew to enjoy.

He ate slowly and sips, and when a group of people in the East Palace ate and drank enough, they held their belly and went upstairs to rest before he dared to drag the stew bowl to him.

Fragrant, the stew is really fragrant.

He chewed the stew three times, and his eyes fell into the remaining bowl of stew.

The bottom of the stew bowl is left, the soup is thick, the red oil is floating on it, and a few pieces of meat lie on the bottom of the bowl, the stew is soft and rotten, and it seems that the fat has melted into water and melted into the sticky soup .

He no longer hesitated, and dragged over to take a bite.

He imagined that the stew with sauce should add a bit of saltiness, but when he took it, he realized that it was not like this. First, the taste that bloomed on the tip of the tongue was spicy, not the spicyness of garlic, but a delightful one. Spicy, there is freshness in the spicy, numbness in the freshness, not irritating, after swallowing, only the aftertaste and meaty flavor are left in the mouth.

This is really strange, he silently picked up the big white steamed bun that he swore not to eat, wrapped it around the bottom of the bowl, and ate it happily.

The next day, the group officially set off.

Just like marching, even the six escorting princes had planned the route long ago, and planned when to stop and when to go. This way, it saves more energy than rushing on the road when they come, but it also takes more time.

A group of people stopped and went, and it was not long before they got out of the way, they encountered a problem.

In fact, it is a trivial matter. It is nothing more than a daughter of an official who went to Beijing to go with them.

She stopped Lian Liu and explained her intention. It's not marching anyway, even Liu feels that it's normal to help.

But the prince first came up with opinions. They didn't have a history of eating, drinking and having fun. Everyone rushed to Beijing. Can this beautiful lady stand it?

The answer over there is naturally "tolerable".

In this case, everyone has no opinion.

But who knows that this young lady doesn't stay in the carriage well, she has to go out and swing around every day, especially when resting at the inn, she always comes over to say thank you, her eyes always look at Xie Xun.

It was sad to say that she was not after the most powerful prince, not the richest Guan Ying, but the handsomest Xie Xun.

By the way, back then, Jiang Da had to marry Xie Xun if he wanted to die, didn't he just admired his dusty appearance?

Everyone cried silently while dipping in the sauce.

Xie Xun is the most sensitive of this group of people, and is very responsive to the woman's small movements. However, everyone in the Donggong Palace felt that Xie Xun's reaction was too great. Isn't it just that there was a woman who showed goodness? Just ignore it.

But Xie Xun is hard to ignore. When he lay down at night and took out Jiang Shuyao's letters to reminisce, the door of the room was knocked; when everyone stopped on the road, when he took out Jiang Shuyao's letters to reminisce, she came to talk again; when the night was on the spot When he was resting, he leaned on the carriage, watching Mingyue miss his daughter-in-law, she came by chance again...

Xie Xie was so annoyed that he gave her a cold face, but she was not discouraged.

Xie Xun finally said something serious to her: "Miss, please respect yourself. I already have a wife in my family."

As soon as she said this, the young lady cried out immediately. Except for the maid she led, the team was full of men. When they heard the women cry, they didn't dare to speak, and kept looking at Xie Xun.

There are even those soldiers who pity and cherish jade will whisper Xie Xun privately, saying that he is decent or has a shrew at home.

During the two days of traveling, Lian Liu and Xie Xun had spoken a few times, they were not familiar with each other, but he couldn't control his own mouth, and came over to gloat with the grass in his mouth and said: "Sometimes, one more romantic story is good talk."

Xie Xun sneered. When he watched the people in the East Palace avoid the young lady like a snake and scorpion, and no one dared to step forward to help him resist, he finally decided to use his assassin.

It was night, Xie Xun opened the wooden box and took out the bacon.

The bright moonlight illuminates his clear eyebrows, he evokes a smile that is bound to win, and his already cold facial features become colder.

If you want to solve the evil wolves, you have to release a pack of evil wolves.

At noon the next day, a group of people took a break for lunch on the official road. As in the previous few days, they boiled water in a crock pot and steamed the dried bun with sauce.

Seeing that the young lady was about to come over again to talk, Xie Xun started.

According to Jiang Shuyao's letter, he threw the long-cut bacon into the crock pot. The bottom of the crock pot was hot. After a while, he heard the sound of sizzling grease splashing.

The outer layer of the bacon is purple and black and dry, and the inside is really deep red and soft, with the unique charcoal aroma of smoked food. When it enters the crock pot, it immediately chokes the aroma.

Xie Xun fiddled with the chopsticks in the earthen jar twice and turned the bacon over. At this time, the aroma became more intense, and the white and tender fatty meat gradually turned into a transparent color when heated. It was crystal bright and oily, like a layer of soft elasticity. Yu, sipping out salty oil and water.

Jiang Shuyao said in her letter that she processed the bacon meticulously, whether it was dry fried, braised with green onions, or paired with bamboo shoots, green vegetables, or even boiled noodles.

The people in Donggong who were far away from Xie Xun because they were afraid of the crying woman remembered what "righteousness" is. The rich and rich aroma of salty meat suddenly reminded them of the same delicious snack street, and then thought of Jiang Shuyao. Brothers are blessed and shared and difficult to avoid, but Xie Xun is different. Is he a simple brother? He is Jiang Shuyao's husband!

Yingying and Yanyan pounced in front of Xie Xun. They still followed his habit before he got married, hiding as far as possible to prevent the fish from being caught, but now they are sober. Xie Xun is married. His wife is Jiang Shuyao. Yingying and Yanyan pounced on them but they escaped. Is this worthy of Jiang Shuyao? Loyal?

So they walked to Xie Xun mightily and sincerely admitted their mistakes.

Xie Xun had a sneer that seemed like nothing on his face: "Don't be sorry, why are you wrong? After all, I have hurt you, and I got into the trap set by others and almost married the designer."

Everyone was embarrassed.

Xie Xun took the earthen jar from the fire and placed it on the mud, then picked up the steamed steamed bun and put a few pieces of bacon in it.

After frying, the bacon shrank slightly, and the fat part appeared to be much thinner, while the tender and nonchalant lean part was coated with bright oily water, and the corners of the meat were fried away with a slight burnt and crispiness.

Under the gaze of a group of people, Xie Xun put the homemade bacon into his mouth.

The first bite of chewing, a salty taste quickly occupies all parts of the mouth. The marinated, smoked and roasted bacon completely loses the greasiness of fatty meat, the oily water becomes fragrant and mellow, and the saltiness is diluted by the bun, leaving only a complex umami taste.

There are complex medicinal aromas of pepper, cinnamon, clove, amomum and other aniseed, sauce aromas of sweet noodle sauce, black noodle sauce and other sauces, and fruity aroma of fruit wood when smoked. It starts with a charcoal grilled flavor and ends with endless freshness. , The exhaustion of many days is dissipated in this fat but not greasy, oily and salty bacon.

Even though the earthen jar had been removed from the fire, the strong and domineering salty gas still lingered over the nearby sky, and the soldiers who had been resting on the spot kept breathing in.

"It's so fragrant."

"How can meat be so fragrant? It's not like pure meat."

"It's because we haven't seen it, the boss must have eaten this kind of meat."

Lian Liu nibbled on his own dry buns, the more boring he gnawed, the more boring he heard their discussion, and he moved a little farther away from the alluring aroma.

But the wind blew the scent away and couldn't avoid it. Even the lady who was dressing up in the carriage opened the curtain of the car, sniffing where the scent came from.

Lian Liu looked at the dry bun in his hand, sighed, and silently ended today's lunch.

Xie Xun mercilessly ate only two or three pieces of bacon in the earthen jar. Someone brought a cup of tea, he took a sip, and his whole body stretched out.

He took out the letter paper and pointed to a line of words and read: "If you rest on the way, there are wild vegetables on the side of the road, you can also choose some to fry with the bacon."

It is great that Xie Xun can ignore the predecessors. A group of people hurried into the woods to find wild vegetables, washed them with spring water and returned, and under Xie Xun's command, put the wild vegetables into the earthen jar.

The wild vegetables are tender and raw, and stick to the clear and sweet spring water, put them in the earthen jar, and immediately force out the fragrance of water vapor. The fat of the bacon was fried, leaving a thick layer on the bottom of the crock pot. After the oil was hot, it collided with the wild vegetables and suddenly made a crackling sound.

The wild vegetables were fried until softened, and the overflowing juice mixed with the oily water of the bacon, exuding an extremely attractive aroma. After the wild vegetables are cooked, take off the earthen jar. It can be seen that there is a layer of translucent oil and water. The soup of wild vegetables is mixed with the oil of the bacon itself, which perfectly blends the sweetness, sweetness and saltiness.

Pick out a wild vegetable, the green wild vegetable is wrapped in translucent oily color, put it in the mouth, it is crisp and refreshing, and the oily fragrance is overflowing. The taste of bacon is so overbearing, it penetrates its strong smoked aroma and saltiness into the wild vegetables, which can make the wild vegetables delicious and attractive without any condiments.

After everyone rushed to grab the wild vegetables, there was still soup at the bottom of the crock pot.

They looked at each other, and someone broke the dried bun and put it in for a soak. There are a lot of wild vegetables. The excess oil has already been absorbed into the wild vegetables. The soup left is more of the fresh vegetable juice of the wild vegetables. The bacon is also boiled and softened by the soup. After adding the dried bun, the dried bun is sucked. The full juice becomes soft and swelling, with the mellow and fresh aroma of bacon, the sweetness and refreshing of wild vegetables, and the faint aroma of noodles after the dried bun is soaked and warmed.

Everyone gobbled up the bun before it was too late for the fine food. When they didn't chew in their mouths, they realized that they didn't chew slowly and enjoy the delicious food.

I can only touch my mouth, reminiscing about the taste just now.

At this moment, Miss Jiao Didi, who they avoided like a snake and scorpion, came over. She blinked her big watery eyes and asked softly, "Well, sir, what you are eating..." She was extremely confident. I think they will pity and cherish jade.

Before they finished speaking, they felt that these charming young men turned their heads, looking at her like wolf pups protecting food, as if she was not a woman, but a wolf who wanted to fight with them for food.

She was dumbfounded, and was immediately frightened to take a few steps backwards. Without understanding the situation for a while, she returned to her carriage in a desperate manner.
