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

Chapter 741 Brother and Brother
"Correct."

Li Yi responded, then glanced at Hao Libao and said with a smile: "As expected of Master Hao, you can tell what dish to cook at a glance."

Hao Libao chuckled and waved his hand before explaining: "This dish is quite special. The meat filling in this dish needs to be washed, but anyone in this industry can see that."

Zhang Guoli heard from the side and was a little curious: "I also wanted to ask just now, why do you wash such good meat fillings? I have never seen anyone washing meat fillings.

After washing the minced meat, isn’t the smell of meat gone? "

Hao Libao explained with a smile: "This dish is a famous dish in Hubei Province. It is also called Panlong dish. The locals call it chopped dish. It is usually the first bowl at a banquet.

It is said that this dish was invented in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor at that time was Zhu Houzhao. He had no sons. After his death, he had no sons to take over as emperor.

So the Queen Mother sent a message to Zhu Houzhao's two uncles and his cousin Zhu Houxuan, telling them that the first to arrive in the capital will be the king, and the one who arrives last will be the minister.

But Zhu Houzhao's two uncles were only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and Zhu Houcong's fiefdom was more than 3000 miles away from the capital.

Later, Yan Song gave him an idea and asked him to pretend to be a prisoner, sit in a prison car, and drive day and night. In this way, no one would dare to stop him, and no one would dare to respond, which would save a lot of time.

The two princes thought that the road was close, so they would definitely make a big fanfare, and officials from all over the country would be vying to see them off, and they would entertain them day and night.

In this way, Zhu Houcong will definitely be able to arrive in advance.

But there is a problem with this. Since you have to ride in a prison car, you must eat prison food.

In order not to attract attention, the entourage could not light a fire to cook and cook hot meals for Zhu Houcong.

Moreover, the prison food must be relatively simple, and no meat or fish can be seen, otherwise someone will definitely find out.

So Zhu Houcong immediately ordered his family to cook a meatless dish overnight.

A cook named Zhan Duo came up with an idea, which was to chop pig fat, lean meat and fish into a paste, mix it into stuffing, wrap it in sweet potato skins, and steam it in a pot.

The dish made in this way will look like white potatoes and will not attract attention.

However, in order to make the meat inside whiter and more like sweet potatoes, when chopping the stuffing, the lean meat must be washed with water to wash out all the blood inside.

After the washed lean meat is steamed, it will be white, just like white potatoes. "

After listening to his explanation, Zhang Guoli suddenly realized. He smacked his palm and said with a smile: "So that's it, wonderful! I didn't expect there to be such an allusion."

In the live broadcast room, the audience was also fascinated by what they heard, and everyone was chatting excitedly.

"Good guy, this is where the story of the tortoise and the hare originally developed?"

"There is a race to choose the emperor. Whoever runs faster will win? The people in Lao Zhu's family are indeed extraordinary, haha!"

"It's such a big deal to seize the throne, but you still have the thought to consider whether the prison food is delicious? It's okay to eat real sweet potatoes! Once you become the emperor, don't you just eat spicy food?"

"Haha! It sounds funny, but it's a bit fake. At first glance, it sounds like it was arranged to make Emperor Jiajing's position unfair."

"I'm from Jingmen, Hubei Province, and my grandfather told me this story. So when I was a child, I liked to eat rolls when eating at banquets. I thought I could become an emperor if I ate too much, haha!"

"This must be fake, right? How can the replacement of the throne be such a childish thing?"

In the live broadcast room, some people ridiculed and some questioned.

While washing the minced meat, Li Yi glanced at the barrage and smiled, but did not explain.

This story is indeed a widely circulated local allusion, and many people know it, but its authenticity is indeed doubtful.According to Li Yi's understanding, it is recorded in "Records of Emperor Wuzongyi of the Ming Dynasty" that during the Zhengde period, that is, when Zhu Houzhao was still alive, because his surname was Zhu and his zodiac sign was also a pig, he was taboo about eating pork. He once issued an edict Pork is prohibited nationwide.

His cousin Zhu Youqi, the father of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, was granted the title of King Xing in Anluzhou, Huguang at that time.

Zhu Youqian knew that the common people could not live without pork, but he could not directly disobey the emperor's order. In order to implement it in a flexible manner, he invented this kind of roll cut that eats meat without seeing the meat.

Later, with the accession of Zhu Houcong to the throne, the ban on pork was lifted, but this roll cut was also passed down.

This record is relatively credible, because Zhu Houzhao himself was a fun-loving emperor who did not follow conventional policies.

The reason why he died was because he went out for fun and drove a boat to catch fish in a pond. However, he accidentally capsized the boat and fell into the water. As a result, he caught a cold and died of illness.

The cause of his death also shows how unreliable he is, and it is normal for such a ban to be issued.

Moreover, Anluzhou, Huguang, where Zhu Youqian was located, is now ZX City under the jurisdiction of Jingmen, Hubei Province.

ZX City is the birthplace of sakiri, and it is also recorded in the local county annals.

The most important thing is that there are clear rules for the succession of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

It is clearly written in "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" that if there is no prince in the court, the younger brother will eventually succeed him.

Therefore, after Zhu Houzhao died, the one who should take the throne should have been Zhu Houzhao's brothers, who had nothing to do with the two uncles and the father.

Therefore, it can be seen that the so-called story of three candidates rushing to the capital to snatch the throne is itself unfounded.

But the reason why a story is a story is that it is fun to tell, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

So Li Yi didn't talk too much, he just cleaned the meat filling and squeezed out the blood from the lean meat to make the meat whiter.

After washing the meat five times, the water for washing the meat finally became clear, and the lean meat stuffing became almost as white as the fat meat.

After taking the meat fillings to the counter, Li Yi asked Zhang Guoli to help bring over the fat meat fillings that Zhang Tielin had chopped.

The grass carp stuffing was chopped in the morning, and Li Yi also brought it over.

Afterwards, Li Yi went to the storage room and took out the rice noodles ground yesterday and started to prepare the fillings.

This rice noodle is not strip-shaped rice noodle, but the rice noodle residue left after soaking indica rice, grinding it into rice slurry, filtering out the water and then drying it.

Flour or starch needs to be added to the roll to increase the stickiness, otherwise it will be difficult to shape the meat after it is cooked.

Modern roll-cut businesses add starch directly.

The dough-forming effect of adding starch is indeed good, but the texture is more like ham sausage and there is no rice flavor.

The traditional roll cut is made with rice flour residue.

The rolls made in this way will not only have a meaty aroma, but also a rich rice aroma, which is much more delicious than starch rolls.

After mixing lean meat, fat meat, and fish into the meat filling in a ratio of 1:1:1, Li Yi added one-fifth of the rice flour residue into the meat filling.

After adding minced ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and other ingredients, Li Yi began to stir.

Soon, all the meat fillings were mixed evenly.
