Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1468 Who is Bai Di?

Catfish farmed in ponds always have a muddy smell, but river catfish don’t have this problem. They are super hunters who hide in hidden places on rocks to ambush fish. The Gezhouba Dam has not been built long enough, and giant river catfish are in the Yangtze River. The probability of appearing in the middle is still very high.

A catfish weighing more than 30 kilograms can be used to make three dishes. The big fish head is cooked in mustard soup, and the fish body is used to make homemade bean paste fish. The most peculiar thing is a fish offal with pickled peppers. This is the first time Zhou Zhi has eaten it.

It’s the same as stir-fried chicken with pickled peppers, but the ingredients used are fish intestines, fish soaks, and the fish whites and fish eggs left over from killing the fish some time ago. Now the chef has made it into a super delicious dish. .

The fish is chewy, the fish intestines are crispy, the fish roes are fragrant, and the fish is as white and tender as tofu. Each has its own taste. It is served with celery, lettuce, garlic, and even the big bowl of catfish. It doesn't smell good anymore.

"Why is this dish so delicious?" Li Laosan was already sweating from the spicy food, but he still scooped the fish eggs and fish whites with a spoon and piled them on his third bowl of rice: "Why haven't you recommended it to us before?" ?”

"Because we don't have this dish in our hometown." Jiang Shuyi defended Zhou Zhi.

"The customs are different in ten miles, and the customs are different in hundreds of miles." Zhou Zhi also enjoyed the meal very happily: "Our hometown is also a big river county, but no one eats fish offal."

“Not only fish offal, but also river mussels and snails that no one could eat in the past.”

"No one has eaten river mussels yet." Wei Fei said, "I have made snail elbows for us several times, and they taste so good..."

"It's similar to the hot belly. There are two main keys to this dish - the use of wine and heat." Zhou Zhi said: "When cooking, you need to use white wine to remove the fishy smell and add fragrance. When cooking, you need to add it again and use cooking wine. It’s not that fragrant.”

"In addition, there are garlic, green bamboo shoots, celery, fish intestines, fish maw, fish roe, and fish whites. Each ingredient has its own maturity requirements and must be added at different stages of cooking."

"Finally, the vinegar on the side of the pot is also very important, so that the flavors of this dish can be blended together." Zhou Zhi was reluctant to stop his chopsticks and said while eating: "This dish is actually a bit demanding. I guess it will take a while for the average chef to learn it." Only then can you learn, there are details everywhere.”

"This little brother is a master, and his family is also in our profession?" The chef who came over with two plates of green pepper shredded pork was very happy: "I'm not boasting, everyone in Guling Town can make this, but really There are only a few people who can prepare a banquet. The key lies in what the little brother just said."

"It's indeed a good dish. Master, let's have a drink together," Zhou Zhi greeted enthusiastically.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" the master said, but when he saw the old-packaged Moutai bottle on the table, he still swallowed and wiped his big hand on his apron.

Seeing that the master chef was wiping his apron with his hands and preparing to take the cup, Zhou Zhi quickly took a clean wine glass and poured it for the chef: "Thank you, master, for doing such a good job in the logistics of our working group and organizing tonight's dishes." It’s so delicious, I really admire your craftsmanship, come on, I’m sorry, I’ll drink it up!”

"Now that I'm done toasting my elbow, I'd like to toast the master as well." Li Laosan raised his glass: "Tonight's dishes have given me some understanding of Sichuan cuisine. Even the spiciness is acceptable, but this numbness... hahahaha..."

On the stone road back to the ship, Liang Hong still couldn't forget this pickled pepper fish offal: "When you return to Shudu, you can make this dish for us to eat!"

"Oh, I can't cook this dish." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "This requires a big fire, and the fish you can buy in Shu are all farmed in fish ponds, and the quality of the fish meat is average, let alone the fish. It’s complicated, I guess it’s hard to cook.”

"But I don't know if Mingyi has the level of the master of Guling Town." Zhou Zhi said, "If he does, everyone will be lucky."

"Actually, I think it's best to use fish offal from sea fish." Li Laosan also said, "Elbow, you said that the dish just now was made with fish maw, is that right..."

"That would be too luxurious." Zhou Zhi felt it was inappropriate: "The fish maw soup in Cantonese cuisine is very good. It would be a pity if the absorption of something as high-end as fish maw is affected by pickling ginger and pickled pepper..."

"Really?" Li Laosan thought seriously for a moment and suddenly reacted: "Damn, your elbow is so disgusting!"

Zhou Zhi quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I'm more concerned about why Sister Hong carries a small mirror with her. When we just checked the seal, none of you could take out the mirror. Sister Hong can." "You want to be beaten again. Right?" Liang Hong's face turned red as if he had discovered some secret: "I've helped you, haven't you?"

"No, no, I just want to express my solemn gratitude." Zhou Zhi quickly begged for mercy, but everyone could hear the funny tone.

"I'm too lazy to care about you." Liang Hong hurried forward.

"Even Sister Hong is starting to feel pressure about her appearance..." Zhou Zhi looked at Liang Hong's back jumping up and down in front of him: "You've really grown up..."

After passing Guling Town, the next stop is Fengjie Baidi City.

At first, this was the seat of Kuizi State, a small vassal state of Ba State. The name Kuimen is actually related to this Kuizi State.

Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been a county, and it is called Yufu, which means that when the big fish swim here, they end their migration and turn around.

Of course, modern people know that the real big fish, such as the Yangtze River sturgeon, Chinese sturgeon, white sturgeon and other fish, actually swim all the way to the Jinsha River, and the fish recovery is far from where they turn back.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was finally renamed Fengjie.

The origin of Baidi City comes from a warlord in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu.

Gongsun Shuchu started his career by taking his father Guanyin as his father and serving as the magistrate of Qingshui County. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu was appointed as "Guo Jiang Zuzheng", that is, the prefect of Shu County.

In the late years of Xinmang, when various forces began to seize control and compete for supremacy, Gongsun Shu claimed to be a general to assist the Han and to lead the Yizhou shepherd.

This man was extremely superstitious. The counselor Li Xiong persuaded him to proclaim himself emperor. He dreamed that someone said to him: "Eight-year-old son lineage, twelve years." After waking up, he said to his wife: "Although he is very noble, he is short-lived. What? alley?"

His wife was also a short-sighted person and said: "It's enough to die in the morning and die in the evening. One day is fine, let alone twelve years?!"

In the first year of Jianwu, he proclaimed himself the emperor of Shu, and the country was named Dacheng.

And because the white mist rising from the ancient White Crane Well in the city looked like a white dragon, Gongsun Shu thought it was "a white dragon offering auspiciousness", so he declared that he admired the color white and named his reign Longxing.

Therefore he is called "White Emperor"

But this guy is a weirdo. Although he claims to be an emperor, he has no desire to compete with the world. His only achievement is to defeat the army sent by Emperor Gengshi to snatch the base area, and then accept those from outside Shu who failed to compete with the world and fled to Shu. Warlord leader.

After that, I gradually lost myself in the praises of these people. In the sixth year of Jianwu, Gongsun Shu sent Tian Rong and Ren Man to appear at Jiangguan on the south bank of Kuimen, "Go down between Ju and Yiling to recruit their old friends." , wanted to capture Jingzhou.

A new city was built in Fengjie as an advance base. This is the origin of Baidi City.
