A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 143 You, He Shen, are you embarrassed to say such things?
[Nanliang Cake] When it is just out of the oven, the aroma is already very strong.

When the gravy inside it oozes out, the rich meat flavor instantly enhances its allure to the next level.

"Hmm! Fragrant!"

Zhang Tielin took a deep breath and couldn't help admiring.

He stretched his neck to look at it, and asked curiously, "What kind of meat is in it? Why is it so fragrant?"

Wu Lei thought for a while and replied: "It's mutton and beef, but the term is a bit of a mouthful, I didn't remember it."

With that said, he turned his head to Li Yi who was busy at the stove and asked, "Brother Yi, what kind of meat did you say yesterday that this minced meat is made of?"

Li Yi was adding ingredients to the broth in the pot, and he explained without turning his head when he heard the words: "Yuhan sheep with red marrow, and Longxi calf licking its back."

"What does that mean?"

Wu Lei asked.

Li Yi put the ingredients into the soup, and while pushing the soup with a spoon, he explained: "Wuhan is a place name, it's in Linxia, ​​Gan Province.

It was a county established in the Qin Dynasty, which belonged to Longxi County, and now it has been changed into a town, called Fanghan Town.

Fanghan Chisui Sheep is a kind of tribute sheep bred in the local area. It has been a tribute in ancient times.

However, the local tribute sheep are usually driven into the mountains of Dongxiang, so after the end of Kangxi, it was renamed Dongxiang tribute sheep. "

Hearing his explanation, Wang Gang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Dongxiang sheep! I know, Dongxiang hand-caught meat! I have eaten it."

"Is it tasty?"

Zhang Guoli asked him.

"good to eat!"

Wang Gang nodded again and again: "They usually only put salt in the stewed mutton, without any seasoning, just eat the original taste of the mutton, and it doesn't smell bad at all, so it's delicious!"

As Wang Gang spoke, he smelled the smell of meat in the air, and could not help but swallow his saliva again and again.

Li Yi saw that the soup in the pot was about to boil, so he turned down the heat a little, and explained: "Longxi lickback calf is the calf meat raised locally in Longxi, choose the one that has not been weaned, the meat is the most tender.

Longxi used to be Longxi County, but now it is a county, and the straight-line distance from Fanghan is only more than 100 kilometers.

The local landforms are similar, they are all located on the edge of the Loess Plateau, and the hilly area of ​​the Qinling Mountains. Since ancient times, it has been relatively dry and less rainy, so most of the cattle and sheep are raised in free-range, and they go to the mountains to graze.

Because I often exercise and often eat some natural seasonings such as wormwood and thyme in the mountains, the quality of the local beef and mutton is very good. "

"I'm so hungry! Let me try one!"

Looking at the cakes on the tray, Zhang Tielin couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help urging.

"It's too hot."

Wu Lei explained: "You have to let it dry for a while, or you won't burn your mouth."

"It's okay, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I'm not afraid of being scalded."

Zhang Tielin didn't take it seriously, seeing this, Wu Lei could only bring a plate over, took out a piece for him, and put it on the plate.

"Haha! It smells so good!"

Zhang Tielin held the chopsticks, picked up the cake, and eagerly lowered his head and took a bite.

"Hey! Hoo hoo!"

As soon as he bit through the pie crust, the gravy gushed out, making him cry out, and quickly blew cold air.

But he was worthy of the evaluation of his rough skin and thick meat. After the heat passed, he swallowed the pie crust, then lowered his head and took another bite of the filling.

"Huh! Hot! Huh! Fragrant!"

He yelled and ate deliciously.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoli smiled and winked at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang understood, laughed and teased in a low voice: "A native of Eagle Country, what good food can you eat?"

His voice is not too small, Zhang Tielin can also hear it.

But with delicious food in hand, Zhang Tielin didn't take it seriously, just took one bite after another, enjoying it.

"teacher."

Wu Lei picked up another piece, put it on a plate, and handed it to Zhang Guoli.

"thanks, thanks."

Zhang Guoli took the plate, lowered his head and smelled it, and said with a smile, "This smell of wheat is also delicious! The wheat used is really good."

"This is also wheat from Gan Province, from Dingxi."

Wu Lei remembered the name of the wheat: "It's called Dingxi... 曀... Jiu Zhimai, right? Brother Yi?"

"Yes."

Li Yi turned off the fire, took out the soup in the pot, and explained: "The history of Chinese people eating noodles can be traced back to at least 4000 years ago, and millet noodles from 4000 years ago were unearthed at the Lajia site in Qing Province.

However, the areas where Chinese people ate noodles in the early days were mainly concentrated in the Guanzhong area in the Qin Dynasty.

The ancients at that time believed that the Anding area in Longzhong, which is now Dingxi, Gan Province, had the best quality of wheat produced there.

The flour used for this cake is ground from the wheat grown in Dingxi. "

"I ground it myself."

Wu Lei smiled and asked for credit. The day before yesterday, he had been grinding for two full hours before grinding out more than seven catties of flour.

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Zhang Guoli was surprised: "Is it so troublesome to make this cake? Do you have to grind the flour yourself with wheat from a specific place?"

"In order to pursue the original taste, we can only try our best to restore it."

Li Yi explained: "This [Nanliang Cake] is the first high-end pastry recorded in the book. It uses the wheat produced in the west, and uses the stone mill produced in Luoyang to grind it into flour, and then makes the cake crust and pastry.

The stuffing inside should be made of sheep with red marrow in Baohan and calves licking back in Longxi.

For the seasoning, we also need to use onions from the east of the river, soy sauce from the north gate of Zhangye, salt from Jibei, and chicken from Xinfeng.

When roasting, frost-covered tangerines from Dongting and peppers from Qiuchi lotus are used as fuel to make it. "

"To be so troublesome?"

Zhang Guoli was very surprised.

He looked down at the cake in his hand, and said with emotion: "These conditions, in that era, I don't know how much effort it took to make such a piece of cake."

"This is all people's fat and people's ointment!"

Wang Gang on the side spoke with emotion.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Guoli looked at him and asked with a smile, "You He Shen, are you embarrassed to say such a thing?"

Wang Gang was a little embarrassed, and hurried to make amends: "So it's better now! Technology is advanced, and even such good things can be eaten. Our life is better than that of the ancient emperors!"

Listening to their conversation, the audience in the live broadcast room was also discussing.

"Corrupt officials lived well no matter in ancient times or modern times."

"Heshen in history, if he wants to eat such a [Nanliang cake], I'm afraid it won't be a problem, right?"

"It's a pity, whether it's ancient or modern, I can't afford it."

"The Ji Xiaolan in history is not a good person either!"

"When I was a child watching TV dramas, I liked Ji Xiaolan very much, but when I grow up, I like He Shen instead!"

"They took your money, it's a real job!"

"When you grow up a bit, you will hate He Shen again."

"If I were the emperor, I would also like He Shen. Although he is a bit greedy, he can really do things!"

"Unfortunately, you were not an emperor in ancient times, but a disaster victim who ate bran. What He Shen is greedy for is your food money."

"What kind of Nanliang cake, compared with my Roujiamo, it's far worse! I want the semi-fat and thin one, add meat, bite it down, it's sizzling and oily, it's delicious!"
