Chapter 130

As the saying goes, it is said that the capital is located in the heart of the Central Plains during the Northern Song Dynasty. The wealthy and wealthy families almost did not eat seafood, but only mutton.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital was moved to Lin'an, and the capital was near the sea. The mutton from the north was not eaten, so seafood slowly began to enter the wealthy and wealthy family.

Therefore, eating seafood was very common in the Southern Song Dynasty, but no matter how common it is, the cooking and making methods of seafood were different from fish, mutton and beef that had been eaten for thousands of years. While Jianyan moved south, a total of millions of people from the Central Plains and northern countries migrated to the south. Therefore, most of the people near the capital, including Qingyuan Prefecture, are not southerners, but northerners. Although hundreds of years have passed, the living habits in the north have not completely disappeared. Therefore, relatively speaking, the various vigorous or delicate ways of eating seafood in later generations have not been seen in the Song Dynasty.

The cooking method of seafood is very simple, either boiled in water, frying, or frying.

Speaking of frying, Zhao Qi became even more depressed. In addition to fried noodles such as fried dough sticks and twists, sea crabs are also fried. A swift crab with a length of squash is not removed, but it is boiled and fried to brown. It is not peeled off and chewed directly. The taste is simply indescribable. After Zhao Qi and Zhang Guest Liu ate it in the restaurant once, he felt poisoned. He felt that there were a few kilograms of stones in his stomach and intestines, and the hard chrysanthemum was painful.

It's fine to fry crabs, but there are also fry clams and seashells. The shells are tightly closed. The outside is burnt. The fishy and salty sea water flows out. The meat is not cooked yet. Seeing that the shopkeeper Liu, Ermazi and others are full of excitement when they eat the sauce, Zhao Qi almost vomited after taking a bite.

Fortunately, this dark medieval cuisine has not been passed down, otherwise the beautiful Chinese food culture would be completely suspected.

Zhao Qi has now become the largest shareholder and direct controller of Xiaolongwan Harbor. This dark-type seafood eating method will naturally be labeled as a reactionary, and then a new seafood eating method will be developed.

Of course, in order to save money, seafood purchased on the construction site is worthless.

For example, kelp is washed and cooked until it is 50% cooked, then cut into shreds, and mixed with ginger, green onion, garlic, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar. It is cheap and delicious. If you mix twenty or thirty kilograms a day in the canteen, it will be eaten by all the migrant workers. Even Manager Liu, Ermazi and others are rushing to eat it, which makes the canteen now specializes in the leadership and mixing it carefully.

In addition to kelp, there is also a very cheap seafood, which is clams. After the tide is low, you can dig it everywhere on the beach. In fact, this kind of small shell is not just clams, but also razor clams and some mixed shells. These small and meatless sea shells are ignored by the coastal people and are too lazy to take a look. It is even more impossible to eat them.

But this small and valuable little shell was made into a fried sea shell feast by Zhao Qi, and now it has become one of the most popular dishes on the construction site.

After the tide is low every day, some women, children, young and old near Dawan Village who are unable to move can dig out the clams from the mud and sand, cleaned and sent to the construction site canteen. The price is 2.0 cents per pound. As long as there is no storm, you can collect more than 100 pounds a day. Put water and raise it for one day to spit out the mud and sand. Then stir-fry it on high heat, add onion, ginger, garlic, mustard soy sauce and add a little water to simmer for two minutes. Uncover the lid of the fruit pot, and instantly a strong aroma filled the entire construction site.

Whenever the sauce-clams are out of the pot, the helpers at the entire construction site will drop their hoe tools and scatter their own pottery bowls and rice bowls and go straight to the staff canteen.

The hands are fast and slow. This is the most popular dish. None of them. You can eat a big bowl of rice just by adding shells. Some people secretly put a few bowls of rice and take them home for their family to taste this delicious dish.

The construction site canteen does not have many dishes for migrant workers and helpers. They eat the most kelp and clams. Occasionally, they also eat some pork bone green vegetable soup with extra meals.

Mainly, compared with expensive seafood such as sea cucumber, abalone, yellow croaker, these things are almost not valuable, and they are cheap and delicious, which is satisfying for everyone.

In addition to the food of migrant workers, small training courses for management must be much more sophisticated.

There are some delicious dishes that are popular in the Song Dynasty, as well as the garlic sprouts that Zhao Qi has been constantly inventing and inventing, dried fried hairtail fish, hot eel slices, hot pork liver, boiled loach, scallion-flavored crab, dried fried rabbit diced rice, braised fat intestines, fragrant braised chicken feet, chicken wings, duck neck, pork feet, and sticks.

Except for the relatively expensive ingredients of pork and rabbit, the others are all cheap, especially the scraps of chicken feet, duck feet, chicken wings, pig arch mouths, etc., which are not eaten much by the Song people. As long as people arrange to go to the meat and vegetable market and have a walk around some big restaurants, a large basket can be collected for a hundred cents. However, after it is prepared, they are all delicious and delicious, which makes people feel very appetizing.

I remember the first time when Zhao Qi directed the chef in the canteen to braise chicken feet, pig tongues, duck wings, everyone felt that it was unbearable to eat. However, when the fragrant braised flavor was released and before it was released, the canteen was surrounded by Ermazi, Ermao, and Ermao, and Yang Dahu.

And when it was out of the pot and it tasted, everyone praised it all. Emma, ​​it smells so good!

The delicious dishes made by Zhao Qi found out were naturally accepted by Manager Liu with a smile. The chef asked the chef to take all these dishes to his own restaurant as a few signature dishes. He heard that the reputation was quite good and was highly praised by diners. After the recent spread, diners also went to Manager Liu's restaurant to taste, and even Manager Liu's half-dead restaurant has become popular recently.

Eating is naturally a coincidence for Zhao Qi.

The food in Dasong is actually very rich. In addition to the lack of some small varieties such as peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, etc., others, including cucumbers, eggplants, gourds, cucumbers, cowpeas, green beans, lettuces, bitter melons, beans, sprouts, tofu, lettuce, spinach, peony, radish, cabbage, etc., have all started to be cultivated and launched on a large scale. Onion, ginger, pepper, mustard, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, five-spice ingredients can also be sold on the market. Therefore, the way to eat various vegetables is not much different from later generations, the only thing is that the taste is quite different.

Therefore, when traveling to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Qi felt more fortunate that he would not lose weight because he couldn't eat well.

Therefore, Zhao Qi was not very concerned about food improvement and research, and was even a little casual. In addition, chefs and housewives of the Song Dynasty were very good at making various pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables, dried vegetables and various home-cooked dishes. Some of them only needed Zhao Qi's guidance, and the improved dishes were very close to later generations.

After drinking tea and chatting for half an hour, the manager in charge of the canteen came to inform the wine and food that had been prepared. Zhao Qize and Chen Ji led Yao Sheng and others to the canteen for dinner.

The floor of the canteen is filled with sand and gravel from the beach and then laid a layer of sand and soil to compact it. The house is also a large pergola with air leakage on all sides quickly built with bamboo and wood. The stove and workroom are also very simple, with seven or eight rows of fire stoves, water tanks, and chopping boards. In addition, there are dozens of dilapidated benches collected and purchased from the town or from nearby farmers. These are for workers and civilians to eat, drink and rest.

As for the leadership restaurant, it is a separate pergola, right next to the staff restaurant. The room is not big, only seven or eight feet wide. There is a large round table in the middle, a circle of bamboo chairs on the backrest, and a small rotating disc on the round table.

All of this was Zhao Qi's innovative invention.

Anyway, at the moment, Zhao Qi is too lazy to care about the appearance of the mountain god or other people's comments. No matter how you hold it in, you always have to take out some things.

What's more, including Liu shopkeeper Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu Ermazi, Liu Dong and others, have long been accustomed to Zhao Qi's magical attributes.
