Chapter 30 On the Lion's Head and the Sachet

Of course she knew it, she even saw it with her own eyes and touched it with her own hands, but she didn't expect that after 20 years, the treasure she touched with her own hands has become the treasure of the treasury. Still difficult.

I don't know if it's because he drank a couple of sips of wine and became confused and unrestrained, or he really took Jiang Shaoyan as one of his own, what to say.Zen Master Huijue clicked his lips, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid this righteous method is a bit difficult, and it can only be exchanged for the great contributions of Uncle and Fourth Miss; but there are some methods for this heretic way. I heard that some time ago Today, a thief sneaked into the palace treasury, and it is said that this person stole twelve night pearls, so it can be seen that heresy is not uncommon at times!"

"Don't say such nonsense!" Mrs. Jingci, who had been only laughing and scolding him all the time, couldn't help but change her face at this time, and hurriedly shouted, "Such words can't be said!"

Breaking into the treasury and stealing is a serious crime requiring beheading!Even the thieves who can sneak into the treasury and steal are very capable, and the masters of the Dali Temple in the capital are not vegetarians, and it is not so easy to escape.

What's more, do you really think that Desperate End of the World is a good thing?Living the rest of my life in fear, it turned out that this was not what Miss Jiang Si in front of me was looking for.

Jiang Shaoyan also laughed, and seeing Master Jingci's worried face, she gave her a "reassurance pill" and said: "Master Zen is just joking, I save it, and I won't take it to heart."

"Furthermore, this so-called Bingdi Xuelian is also considered luck. I heard that this Bingdi Xuelian was also accidentally discovered by General Zhao back then. If I'm lucky, I might meet it!" The girl smiled and prepared to Let's get the topic out of the way.

For the three foodies, no topic is more attractive than food.

"Actually, this pork is a skill to make. Different meats have different methods, even fat and thin." After eating pork and drinking a pot of chrysanthemum tea in the nunnery to relieve greasy, oily and clear fire, Jiang Shaoyan got Zen Master Huijue The modified prescription made her feel very good, but she didn't go back immediately, but planned to have a chat with the two masters and wait until nightfall before leaving.

After all, Zen Master Huijue is leaving tonight. As a wandering monk who travels around the world, Zen Master Huijue rarely stays in one place for ten and a half months. The reason why he came to Baoling this time was just on the way Just come to see Mrs. Jingci, an old friend.

Jiang Shaoyan made up her mind to talk more about this "greedy teacher" whom she will never see for several years or even most of her life after seeing her today.

Baoling City is a small town with simple folk customs, and few things happen.Oh, by the way, today's so-called Deng Tuzi should be just an accident. Jiang Shaoyan is quite self-aware. For the current self, she guesses that no Deng Tuzi will succeed, so she is not afraid.

Besides, it was going back late, Xiao Wu came to pick her and Xiangli up, so there was no need to worry.

As an out-and-out pork lover, Jiang Shaoyan can be said to be very eloquent when it comes to pork.

"Actually, there is a pork dish that really tests each person's appetite. The ratio of fat to thin is [-]% or [-]% or [-]% or [-]% respectively." In recent days, it has been slightly reduced, and the facial features can barely be seen clearly. When Jiang Shaoyan talked about this dish, his eyes were shining brightly, "This dish has a very prestigious name-lion head."

This name immediately made the two foodies in front of them swallow their saliva subconsciously, oh, no, it was three, and Xiangli behind her couldn't sit still anymore, secretly swallowing her saliva.

Jiang Shaoyan likes the lion's head dish very much. It can be steamed, braised or deep-fried, and there are different ways to eat it.The tangled problem lies in the ratio of fat to thin. Jiang Shaoyan, like Mr. Liang Shiqiu, thinks that seven points thin and three points fat is the best food, which belongs to the "thin group" among pork lovers, while old Mr. Wang Zengqi thinks that seven points thin and three points fat is better. , belonging to the "fat school", Yuan Mei, who was known as the "sage of food" in the Qing Dynasty, said in "Suiyuan Food List" that he was more than half fat and thin, and he was an out-and-out moderate school.

Zen Master Huijue was drooling when he heard it, sighed, and said with regret: "It's a pity! This dish is no longer available."

Jiang Shaoyan didn't have the "bad intention" to make people look forward to plum blossoms to quench their thirst, so she smiled and said: "Then I will tell the gluttonous master how to make this dish. When the gluttonous master has time in the future, I can buy pork and cook it myself."

really?Zen Master Huijue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately. There is no reason why he would not allow it.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Miss Jiang Si’s method is really wonderful. Thinking that she can make a “lion’s head” to eat with herself in the future, Chan Master Huijue just feels that his saliva will flow down. Urging Jiang Shaoyan to speak quickly.

Jiang Shaoyan then said: "In addition to the dispute over the proportion of fat and thin, the cut of this dish is actually more particular. It needs to remove the tendons and cut into small pieces. The Zen master should remember to cut more and cut less. The cut pieces are too small. It’s not okay to make it big or simply chop it into a meat paste.”

After cutting, it is what Xu Ke said in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" "with egg whites to make it easy to solidify.".

"It's okay to use gorgon powder without egg whites." Jiang Shaoyan did not forget to modify it.

Given the habit of the Zen master in front of him, who is used to eating and sleeping in the open, it is common for this ingredient to be in short supply. Naturally, it can be used for what it is, just like the prescription he gave, and it can be replaced by an easier and cheaper medicine.

"If there are shrimp powder and crab powder, you can also add it, so it is a real lion's head."

Jiang Shaoyan himself likes the method of Huaiyang cuisine lion head, so he specially talked with Zen Master Huijue: "Put the lion head in an earthen pot, add water and salt, cover it with vegetable leaves, and cook it slowly for half an hour. Take the above, put it into a cup, and pour it with clear chicken soup, it tastes extremely delicious."

Zen Master Huijue couldn't help nodding, and asked Jiang Shaoyan how to steam, braise and fry. After memorizing the recipe, he got up and left when it was getting late.

Jiang Shaoyan and Master Jingci sent Zen Master Huijue outside the Guangming Nunnery. Seeing Zen Master Huijue striding away with a walking stick without turning his head, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion: "Mr. It feels a bit like walking alone on a moonlit night.”

Master Jingci didn't make a sound, and during the process of sending Zen Master Huijue away, Master Jingci never said a word to persuade him to stay, probably because he was too familiar with it, and knew that there was no need to perform such vain rituals!After all, Zen Master Huijue, who is traveling around the world, probably would not stop for a "virtuous courtesy" from his old friend.

Just as Jiang Shaoyan was thinking like this, Master Jingci suddenly turned her head and said to Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss Jiang Si, just watch! This old thing will probably come back to eat a bite of the lion's head you made yourself before leaving!" Without waiting for Jiang Shaoyan to reply, he pointed to Xiao Wu who was parked beside Jiang Shaoyan's carriage and the carriage: "Miss Jiang Fourth, it's getting late, go back quickly!"

After speaking, he turned around and went back to the nunnery, closing the nunnery door.

The whole process was completed in one go, and Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but laugh: the old lady is still so decisive!After laughing, he took Xiangli and walked to the carriage.

It's time to go back, Qingming never travels at night!

Except for Zen Master Huijue and other monks who are not afraid of ghosts and gods, there are not many people who are still walking at night at this time, and Ji Chongyan and his party who are riding horses on the official road are also one of the few.

In the carriage, Nanny Chai stopped snoring all the way, and Ji Chongyan made a gesture to signal the team to stop for now.

Lin Yan sighed, and looked up at the sky: Nanny Chai's schedule is really... Qingming rests during the day, but wakes up during the Qingming night when she doesn't walk at night. If it is someone who is timid and has done something wrong, she must be afraid.

Just as he was thinking, Ji Chongyan got off his horse and walked to the carriage where Nanny Chai was. He paused, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain.

Nanny Chai handed it over with a sewed sachet, and said joyfully, "Little lord, who are you going to give the Bingdi snow lotus you brought back? Nanny sewed the sachet for you, such a treasure so that you can put it in a sachet and give it to the girl, don't lose it!"

 The practice of lion head refers to the record in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" written by Xu Ke at the end of the Republic of China and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

  "The lion's head is named after its similar shape, and the pork is also round. The pork is half fat and thin, finely chopped and roughly chopped, and mixed with egg whites to make it easy to solidify, or add shrimp and crab powder. Use a yellow sand pot and put vegetable leaves on the bottom. , cover it with a pot, put it into an iron pot, sprinkle a little salt to prevent the pot from cracking. Then, dry it with a slow fire, stop the firewood every few times, and burn it for about 5 minutes, wait for it to be cooked, and take it out." Xu Xu The method of lion head described by Ke is not much different from the authentic crab powder lion head and shrimp meat lion head.
