Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 969 Food
Romeo is very grateful for the help given to him by the old housekeeper beside him.

When I was broken, I never gave up, and now I am doing my best to help myself.

Just when Romeo wanted to say some words of gratitude, the old housekeeper took out a scroll like magic: "The officials of the Tang Dynasty who came to preside over the New Year's celebration today gave me this."

Romeo has seen this scroll, and he also has one, which seals him as the county son.

After grabbing it in his hand and opening it, Romeo was so excited that he couldn't speak, but the old butler kept smiling very calmly.

"It's deserved, deserved."

A canonization scroll, the old butler's excellent management talent was recognized by the Tang Dynasty. This is a county magistrate's title, and the fief is still in Tang Dynasty's Spice Island, which has a thousand-acre orchard managed by fifty tenant farmers.

That night, New Year's Eve.

Several head chefs of the back kitchen who presided over the banquet in different places around the Mediterranean Sea are all chanting the same sentence.

The poor nobles on the Mediterranean side only recognize the price but not the goods.

This was taught by Liu Mu.

To change to a classic line, only buy the expensive ones and not the right ones.

The first course of the Tang Dynasty's New Year's Eve banquet shocked the whole Mediterranean.

This dish is called Hunyang Shihu, and it was produced after the Anshi Rebellion in real history. It was Wei Juyuan who was promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe and had a banquet with Tang Zhongzong according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty.

It was at this banquet that this dish appeared.

As for the willow, the dish was played to a higher level, it can be said that it was specially designed purely to torture the nobles in the Mediterranean.

This dish is nothing more than roasting goose wrapped in lamb belly, and then the nobles only eat goose meat.

Willow played higher.

Not to mention that this dish is from the Mediterranean, even Li Daozong, the clan of the Tang Dynasty, was frightened.

In Constantine's palace, the first dish was carried up by 36 strong slaves, and it was a cylindrical pottery more than one foot high.

Even this huge pottery in the Mediterranean cannot be made.

"Your Majesty, this dish is the third most famous dish in my Tang Dynasty. These ten famous dishes can't be used in a banquet. My Emperor Tang cherishes the people and always reminds us, the royal family, to know how to be frugal and how to communicate with the people. We share weal and woe, and today's New Year's Eve, this dish must be tasted by Your Majesty."

When Li Daozong turned the words, Heraclius was very moved. He had experienced the elegance and etiquette of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty more than once.

He still remembered a small incident. He and Li Daozong, the prince, were in the street market of Constantine. Li Daozong suddenly stopped to salute a soldier who became a beggar after being disabled on the battlefield.

Heraclius didn't understand at the time.

Li Daozong said at the time: He saw a beggar salute to him, if he didn't return the salute, then as a beggar, he knew how to be polite. Could it be that he, as a nobleman, didn't know how to be polite?

This incident has been a positive case of Heraclius educating his courtiers for a year.

At this time, Heraclius had a great affection for the prince from the Tang Dynasty, and had a very serious admiration for Li Daozong's character.

He believed Li Daozong's words that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty advocated frugality.

The huge pottery one foot high was slowly hoisted up. Inside was a steel frame, and a complete camel was hung on the frame.

Regardless of the Roman nobles exclaimed, the complete roasted camel, the people of Tang Dynasty are really proud.

While the elders were swallowing their saliva, Li Daozong said to Heraclius: "At the banquet tonight, there are many people serving in the back kitchen and banquet hall. Before the banquet begins, may your majesty please roast the whole camel?" reward them."

"This..." Heraclius really wanted to eat this roasted whole camel.

But since Li Daozong spoke, he really had no way to refuse, so he had to agree.

The camel was cut open, and there was a sheep in the camel's stomach.

The aroma had dissipated, and the guests swallowed their saliva again. Many people thought to themselves, this Datang man is really powerful, so the whole camel was roasted for the sheep in the camel's belly.

But here, Li Daozong said again: "Your Majesty, the guards guard day and night, it is very hard work, can this sheep be distributed to the guards?"

Heraclius had already begun to feel restless, thinking that I hadn't even eaten a bite of this banquet yet, how could it be over like this, but out of respect for Li Daozong, he still agreed.

The belly of the lamb was cut open, and a goose was taken out and placed on the table.

At this time, the top nobles in Rome didn't think about the goose anymore, and they couldn't figure out whether the goose was for them to eat.

Especially the elders of the Roman Senate, with wide-eyed eyes, forced to put on a very calm expression, but the saliva on the corners of their mouths could not conceal their desire for delicious food.

The knife in Datang's chef's hand flickered, and the goose was cut into countless thin slices.

In each elder's plate, there is only five cents of goose meat at most.

In anticipation of the Roman Emperor Heraclius, he had no goose meat to eat. He saw only a quail in the stomach of the goose, and the quail was for the top dignitaries of the Senate.

In the belly of the quail, there is a meal wrapped with glutinous rice, lean meat, and vegetables, and then there is a quail egg.

This meal is only half a tael.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

"So, does it mean that all this is for this one bite of food?"

Li Daozong replied very calmly: "Of course, all the delicious food is concentrated in this mouthful of rice. This dish is called small steamed rice."

Not to mention whether it tastes good or not, just this style, this mouthful of rice is enough to shock the whole Constantine.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

"Your Majesty, next is my second most famous dish in the Tang Dynasty. Thousand Goose Banquet!"

Heraclius felt an urge to go crazy, and what was placed on the table was an iron plate with a length of two feet. The fire heated the iron plate, and then drove the geese to run on the iron plate, but what he ate was the goose being heated. Goose feet scalded on an iron plate.

Datang No.1 dish, unknown.

In front of Heraclius is a plate of carp beard.

"This dish has no name, because I can't find a suitable name for him. Carp has a special meaning in my Tang Dynasty. This dish needs to select two thousand big carp from the Yellow River. The final essence is just this little. Use Very special way of preserving the shipment here, especially keeping it as fresh as it was months ago."

Heraclius didn't know what to do with the knife and fork. In his eyes, this dish was worth a box of gold coins.

He really wanted to know where were the parts of the fish that were not essential.

"Banquet!" Li Daozong no longer explained to Heraclius, and then ordered the banquet.

The maids entered one by one, and eight cold dishes were placed in front of everyone's table, and each plate was worth a bite, and then the hot dishes were officially served, and the banquet officially began.

Especially the music and dance troupe, juggling and other performances found from Datang.

The Roman emperor Heraclius drank a little too much, and many nobles in Rome were thinking, can they afford such a banquet?It's really scary to throw half of the family property into a banquet.
