Chapter 26 Southern Song Dynasty Cuisine
"Are you sure you want to eat the delicacies in "A Picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival"?" Xuan Shi asked Nie Guangyi.

"Yes!" Nie Guangyi was always very angry, but now he was even more decisive.

"However, paintings have no smell, and there is no place in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" where the dishes are specifically painted."

"Is there none?" Nie Guangyi himself began to recall.

It is said that in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival", the food is the most popular.

In one scroll, there are as many as 45 restaurants.

Nie Guangyi has longed for it for many years, but he has never heard of any dish in a restaurant that is clearly drawn.

"No." Xuan Shi's determination confirmed Nie Guangyi's thoughts.

Xuan Shi went on to say: "Even the two plates in the hands of the takeaway guy can't tell what's in them."

"Then how do you fix it? Allah Yizai just wanted to cut the delicacies in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival"."

"Then you asked the girl if she had a dream?"

"That's natural! As soon as I heard that she was pushing Wang Ximeng to watch people rushing for the exam in Bianjing City, I asked her if she saw what was sold in the restaurant, and if there were any lost snacks that smelt all over the street."

"And then? What did she say?"

"She asked me why I didn't find it unreasonable to find answers to history in dreams."

"And then?" Xuan Shi asked.

"Then I got off topic. In the end, I didn't ask what delicacies are in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival."

Xuan Shi thought for a while: "I personally feel that the delicacies in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" should not catch your eyes."

"why?"

"Because we all love spicy food in a broad sense, but in the era of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", there are still hundreds of years before peppers are introduced into our lives."

"Didn't there be spicy hot pot in the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, there are Boxia offerings, boiled mutton, boiled rabbit meat, but what people in the Song Dynasty called spicy is ginger, mustard greens, pepper, green onions, garlic and other condiments. The combination of flavors is not the same as spicy hot pot in the modern sense. concept."

"Is that so?" Nie Guangyi was still hungry at the moment, "It's not a concept, I only want to eat the food of the Song Dynasty now."

"Song Dynasty food is fine, right?"

"Correct!"

"In that case, how about I get you some authentic Southern Song food?"

"Guaranteed to be authentic?"

"Correct."

"From the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Yes. In the Northern Song Dynasty, I can't think of any dishes that have all the ingredients here."

"Never fool around?"

Xuan Shi nodded seriously.

"Why am I so unbelievable? Are you going to fool me with something? Tell me first."

Xuan Shi's cooking skills are very good, but it's not that he hasn't cooked dark dishes for him at all.

Nie Guangyi was somewhat wary.

"Didn't you ask the girl before, is there any snacks that are full of fragrance in the street? I am going to make you such a snack. Translated in our Wenzhou dialect, it is called [Fried Juniper]."

"Why Wenzhou dialect?"

"Because Wenzhou dialect is the most classical dialect, and there are many poems, we no longer rhyme in Mandarin, but we can use Wenzhou dialect."

"Give me an example."

"For example, let me talk about a poem about eating, [Chang'an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and the thousand gates on the top of the mountain are opened one after another. A concubine riding a red dust laughs, no one knows it's a litchi.]"

"What happened to the poem?"

"When your teacher taught this poem, didn't he ask you why the word "embroidered in piles" doesn't rhyme with the words "opening" and "laizhilai"?"

"Hey!" Nie Guangyi's eyes lit up, "It's true. The fried huì you mentioned, which huì is it? Is it the confluence of gatherings, or the stew next to the word fire?"

Nie Guangyi wanted to find out how to make this famous snack in the Southern Song Dynasty, so as to roughly imagine whether he wanted to eat it.

"Neither, it's the juniper next to the wooden characters."

Nie Guangyi thought for a while and asked, "Qin Hui's juniper?"

"Hey, geniuses are different. Before I tell you, you already know that this famous Southern Song snack has something to do with Qin Hui."

"Really?" Nie Guangyi didn't believe it himself.

"It must be true." Xuan Shi further explained: "In fact, there are many people who say that this famous snack was invented by Su Dongpo. But there is no clear evidence."

"No way..." Nie Guangyi's eyes lit up.

"That's right. There are many legends about that snack, but no matter what, it must have become popular in the Southern Song Dynasty. Qin Hui and his wife planned to kill Yue Fei. When the Dongchuang incident happened, the army and the people were all filled with righteous indignation. With the same hatred, we made a snack called fried juniper, which is absolutely all the rage, if you don’t believe it, you can check it out.”

"What are you looking for!" Nie Guangyi said, "Brother, I am very hungry. Even if I want to check, I must wait until I finish eating!"

"Then do you want to watch me do it?" Xuan Shi asked aloud.

"How long will it take?" Nie Guangyi looked at himself and said, "Is it enough? I'll go take a shower first."

For ordinary people, the current appearance of Master Guangyi can be regarded as meticulous.

For the fastidious architect of genius, nowhere is right.

Xuan Shi responded: "I will try my best to let you have something to eat after you take a bath."

"Then you have to try your best, my brother will take a shower very quickly today!" Nie Guangyi walked towards the bathroom expectantly, turning his head three times a step at a time.

"No problem." Xuan Shi said, "I'll call A Nuo after I finish making you midnight snack."

It was rare for Nie Guangyi not to say something about the name [Arnuo] when he heard it.

Normally, Nie Guangyi takes 10 minutes to take a shower.

Every time he washes his hair, he has to do some styling before he comes out to meet people.

Today was an exception, came out with wet hair.

He was in a hurry to come down to eat a famous snack in the Southern Song Dynasty [Fried Juniper].

I thought about the food of the Song Dynasty all night. Although I couldn't eat it as in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival", I felt like I fried the treacherous officials in one bite. That's pretty awesome!

One famous snack after another flashed across Nie Guangyi's mind.

There is no very specific image.

Just like in many books, the main character is beautiful, but they don’t write it specifically, it all depends on the different kind of beauty imagined by the readers themselves.

If it was just the delicacies created by the people of the Southern Song Dynasty to commemorate Yue Fei, Nie Guangyi would only have an expectation of 80 points at most. In addition to the legend of being related to Dongpo layman, then the expectation must be fully filled.

Ordinary things, no one dares to rely on [Eternal Eating Emperor], right?
Nie Guangyi only took half of his usual shower time before heading to the kitchen with his wet hair.

Before he had time to go in, Xuan Shi brought out a large plate of freshly fried dough sticks.

Xuan Shi pulled Nie Guangyi's hand out, put the plate in his hand, and said, "This big plate is for you. The deep-fried Chinese juniper in ancient Chinese, the deep-fried dough sticks in Mandarin, and the authentic Song Dynasty name. Snacks have been passed down for thousands of years and are enduring."

The light in Nie Guangyi's eyes disappeared at a speed invisible to the naked eye because of the fried dough sticks.

"Xiao Shizi, do you really think that I dare not beat you up!" Young Master Guangyi was furious, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.

"Little tweezers, you should eat the most famous snack in the Southern Song Dynasty first. It has been handed down to this day, and it is timeless and innocent. After you eat it, you have strength and then you want to beat me up."

As soon as Xuan Shi handed over the plate, he went straight to the direction where Professor Nie had called just now, turned around and said, "I have to call Arnold first."

"You know I'm in a bad mood and still treat me like this?"

"Then I can't help it. I made an agreement with Arnold that I will call her today, and I will have to pass the complicated supper today, which will affect Arnold's sleep and beauty sleep."

"How can I have a brother like you?"

"Yeah, I'm also very envious of Mr. Guangyi, who can have a brother who makes supper for him at 11:30 in the middle of the night!"

Nie Guangyi was dumbfounded.

The honest brother Xuan Shi who would not resist no matter how bullied he was.

Was it taken away by a ghost called love?
Is it that a man who seems to be pure-hearted and ascetic, when it comes to love, he doesn't even want to be a man?
In Italy a few years ago, how many tons of water did he pour into his head to introduce Xuan Shi all day long?
A guy who is like a different person when he falls in love is not worthy of being a man at all, let alone his brother.

I regret it!I regret it.

Every time Nie Guangyi thought about it, he took a bite of the fritters!
In less than 5 minutes, I finished eating a full six fried dough sticks.

To be exact, it should be twelve.

Because there are originally two fried dough sticks.

Yue Fei was framed to death by Qin Hui and his wife Wang Shi, and they must be twisted together to relieve their anger.

This probably also explains why, from ancient times to the present, most fried dough sticks are made into two entangled sticks.

……

Xuan Shi finally found time to call Cheng Nuo, and he apologized: "A Nuo, I'm really sorry today..."

"Huh? What's there to apologize for?"

"That's right, I should have been with you at this moment."

"What's the original? If you really want to talk about the original, we can only meet at this time, right? You came so long in advance, and you came here early in the morning. I'm so happy that it's too late."

"Are you really not angry?"

"How can it be? I'm so angry, do you want to appear in front of me now?"

"Hearing what Arnold said, he should really not be angry anymore."

"Do not worry?"

"Ok!"

"How is the bridge now?" Cheng Nuo turned to be concerned about the situation in Changqiao Village.

"Collapsed."

"What about your brother, how is he now?"

"Let's just stay the same. The conflict between him and Professor Nie is irreconcilable for the time being."

"Then you can persuade me more. After all, we are a family."

"Now that his grandparents are gone, Professor Nie is indeed the only family member left." Xuan Shi sighed and said, "But I still don't know how to persuade him."

"If you don't know, let it be. Ah Shi, just don't feel sad yourself." Cheng Nuo also sighed, regretfully said: "I really want to hug you."

"Then Arnold owes it first, and I will ask you to pay it back when I get back."

"Okay! I'll wait for your return."

"At first, I wanted to say that I would go there early and give you a surprise. But I just met in a hurry and wasted the surprise you prepared for me."

"I prepared it for you?" Cheng Nuo asked in turn, "What surprise?"

"Surprise for an RV."

"Huh? How do you know that I have prepared an RV?"

"It was told to me by the eldest daughter of the owner of Aurora Idea Studio. She also said...the things in the car are very complete..."
