Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thank you book friends for your reward!

……

The four of them chatted for a while, and the sky was getting dark. Zhang Mengtan solicited the opinions of the three guests, then clapped his hands, and asked the servants to bring dings, gui, Zudou and other food utensils to officially open the table.

Zhao Wuxi watched it silently, Zhang's Yan Yan was much simpler than the one that Wei Ji entertained him at Zhao's mansion some time ago.

Wu Xie and Wei Ju are the noble sons, and in front of them are five dings and four gui, Zhang Mengtan and Le Fuli are the sons of the doctor, and in front of them are three dings and two gui. And it's not all copper, there are quite a few pottery, and the more expensive lacquerware is almost extinct.

From this, it can be seen that the Zhang family is not rich, but Zhang Mengtan's yin meal is not sloppy at all, and the meat and vegetables are well matched and elegant.

After all, the four of them are weak youths, and their temperaments are out of touch, so they don't pay attention to "eating without talking", and they talk and laugh while eating.

The first thing served was the staple food, which was the famous "Chun Mu" and "mixed food" of the famous Zhou Bazhen II.

However, these two kinds of food today are different from what everyone ate in the past.

Le Fuli first felt something was wrong, he said while chewing: "It's strange, Zhang Zi, your Bazhen seems to taste better than mine!"

Wei Ju heard the words and tasted it carefully. He felt that the taste was indeed better, but he was not surprised. He thought it was due to the superb cooking skills.

Zhang Mengtan put down the chopstick and said slowly, "This is thanks to Zhao Zi's gift this morning."

Gift? Both Le Fuli and Wei Ju looked at Wu Tie curiously.

Zhao Wuchen replied humbly: "Actually, it's not just Zhang Zi's family, I have already sent some wheat flour from the neighborhood to the two families, but unfortunately they didn't catch up with the morning meal, so the two of them don't know yet, they can eat here. It's just a coincidence..."

It turned out that, in the same way as the way to sell in the lower palace, Zigong, in the name of the Jia of the Zhao clan, sent a bucket of wheat noodles to each of the children of Pangong, whom Zhao Wuxi knew and befriended, along with a gift saying: A brief note on how to do it.

Speaking of which, Zhang Mengtan's chef and Yong people were also bold. As soon as they got this new ingredient in the afternoon, Yan Yan in the evening dared to make it to entertain Qingzi.

They replaced the necessary millet flour and rice flour in "Chunmu" and "mixed food" with more finely ground wheat flour to increase the taste.

Chun Mu used wheat flour to make pancakes, spread the fried meat sauce on top of the pancakes, and poured boiling oil over them.

The method of mixing food is: take an equal portion of beef, sheep, and pig meat, chop it up, knead it with wheat flour, the ratio is two to one, knead it into the shape of a cake, put it in a kettle and fry it with paste, It tastes amazing.

After Zhao Wuxi's explanation, Wei Ju, who thought it was extremely delicious, couldn't swallow it.

When he came back from Anyi, he also brought gifts, which were given to Zhang Mengtan and the sons of the officials and officials, all of which were the finest tiger-shaped white salt.

But according to Yi Yin's way of cooking, white salt is only a seasoning, no matter how precious it is. Too much salt will only make the dishes salty and unpalatable. Today's staple food is still the wheat flour sent by Zhao Wuxi.

Wei Ju immediately sat on pins and needles. He believed that many things were symbolic. For example, he rushed to Zhang's residence today, with the intention of competing with Zhao Wuxi. But sitting here, it seems that like white salt, it is a condiment that serves as a foil for the main food!

But at this moment, Yan Yan had only just started, and Wei Ju had enough time left to cook, so he could only pretend not to be hungry and watch Le Fuli, who was sitting at the end of the table, feasting.

Under Wei Ju's eyes, Le Fuli seemed to enjoy eating even more. He laughed at himself, no wonder he moved his index finger slightly before he came, and he knew that he would eat peculiar smell.

This remark made Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Meng talk uncontrollably, and Wei Ju could only follow along with a forced smile.

Wu Xie knew that the stalk "meeting your finger" was an allusion from the state of Zheng.

At that time, Xia Ji's elder brother Zheng Linggong got a big turtle (yuan), which is a rare big turtle, as a gift from the state of Chu. He asked the chef to cut the turtle into pieces, cook it into a meat soup, and entertain the officials.

Who would have known that the big copper cauldron filled with turtle soup had just been served, but his two doctors, son Song and Zijia, looked at each other and laughed.

Zheng Linggong was very curious, and when he asked, he found out that when the two doctors went out in the morning, they found that their index fingers moved slightly, and they knew that they had to eat peculiar smells today.

Zheng Linggong didn't know which tendon was wrong. When he ordered Yong people to distribute the soup to the masters, it was just at the time of the feast of the son Song, but he deliberately skipped him, as if he wanted to get angry and make the hunch of the son Song not come true.

Young Master Song was embarrassed, so he couldn't help standing up suddenly, walked to the big tripod, put out his finger in public, dipped it in it, tasted it, and then walked out swaggeringly.

Zheng Linggong was furious and wanted to kill the son of Song. Of course, the other party could not sit still and wait to die. As a result, a civil strife in the Zheng Kingdom occurred, and Linggong was killed because of this. This matter is purely his own death, but he was blamed by the Chinese people on the head of Xia Ji, who used to have **** with his brother and sister...

Having said that, in the Spring and Autumn Period, all the monarchs who were given the posthumous title of "Spirit" were basically funny.

For example, Duke Ling of Jin, King Ling of Chu...

The posthumous method was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is based on the life stories and moral cultivation of the monarchs and ministers. The ministers discuss the monarch, and the sons discuss the father, to evaluate and criticize, and finally give the deceased a title that contains evaluation.

The posthumous interpretation of the posthumous name: "If you don't work hard to become famous, you will be called Ling", which means "indulge one's own nature, but do not see the virtuous and think together". In other words, the personality is out of bounds, and the brain circuits are a bit weird, it's just a neuropathy...

This is an evil posthumous title that monarchs and high officials try to avoid.

At this time, in addition to the main food, there are also some dishes that are being served continuously.

According to the theory of dietary supplements in the Spring and Autumn period, it is suitable to eat fish, eels, shellfish and other aquatic products in summer, all of which are just caught in Fen Shui and Shu Shui, and are cooked with dog oil and onion and garlic to remove the fishy smell.

The way of cooking created by Yi Yin believes that the taste of the seasons should be different. Spring is more sour, summer is more bitter, autumn is more acrid, winter is more salty, and the adjustment is smooth and sweet. Therefore, there are slightly bitter, cool and exhausting foods such as bitter gourd and water chestnut.

When the meal was full, twilight had come, and the hall became dark. The maids walked in and lit the candles on the bronze lampstands, which illuminated the hall again. The pots, gongs, and jue were also served one by one.

The four of them reunited after a long time, so naturally they wanted to drink a jue. The candle shadows were shaking red, and the freshly brewed millet wine was fragrant~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Mengtan called for the musicians, played the bell and drum, and called for the family to come Singer, with music and dance with wine.

Zhao Wuqi observed silently and found that his host was doing quite competently: just now he kept persuading Le Fuli to eat more, and chatting with Wei Ju, who put down his chopsticks and chopsticks, about the scenery of Anyi Jiechi, so that he would not be left out in the cold. , but also to discuss with Zhao Wuxi the difficulties of the construction of the territory.

Zhang Mengtan was not in a hurry throughout the whole meal. He kept a proper distance from everyone, and he was not attached to each other.

This made Wei Ju feel a little more at ease. Although Zhao Wuxi was a little disappointed, he also felt that this person had a high EQ.

On the other side, after Le Fuli was slightly drunk, he was even more successful, and he personally invited the dancers to dance a thousand dances.

After drinking, it is natural to have some games to add to the fun. Wei Ju, who did not want to be robbed of Zhao Wuxi's limelight, proposed to play Liubo and throwing pots, which was something he was very good at.

Unexpectedly, Zhao and Zhang both had embarrassed expressions on their faces, but they stopped talking.

Le Fu was sweating from dancing just now, and he would say with a big tongue: "Didn't Zhang Zihe and Zhao Zi have an appointment a long time ago to talk about it today? I would say that the chess made by Zhao Zi is more interesting. Bo tou pot and the like, no longer interested, let's just play chess!"

Wei Ju was instantly slapped in the face. After hearing this, his lips twitched slightly, so he forced a smile to ask what is "chess"?

Zhao Wuxi gave Le Fuli a thumbs-up in his heart, boasting that this is really a godsend.
