Chapter 294 The First Datang Food Culture Festival (3)

In decades, or hundreds of years later, a general will say a famous saying, "Everything is not worth eating, but only in the heat, the five flavors are good." So, this delicacy held by Yang Heng this time is not really considered a delicacy.

Why? From the perspective of all the chefs, they mainly show off their skills and delicacies, but the only thing they lacked in taste combination. This cannot be blamed. Although the food culture began to flourish since the previous dynasty, there were decades of war in the middle, and it had just stabilized at this time, and the Zhenguan rule had just begun.

Besides, Yang Heng organized this event just to rush to put it on the shelves. It was just because he felt that an annual meeting was about to change, so he urgently organized such an emergency.

Since it is said to be a delicacy, the first one can only be regarded as an appetizer, and the staple food has not been served yet. When the guests were having a good time drinking, the venue changed again. All the cooking utensils for cooking were removed, and now they are some panels, rolling pins, and even some stoves and other equipment. This is to prepare for the staple food. If you want to talk about why this can be removed so quickly and the layout is arranged, you will naturally have to thank Yang Heng for some inventions. He has adopted many new styles on the scene.

There are single coal ball stoves and multiple coal balls. In short, the flame size, speed and speed can be adjusted, which is the guarantee for cooking delicious dishes. However, it also lacks some special flavors. Someone in the previous dynasty once said, "Carboniferous, firewood, bamboo, grass, and ephedra fire, and the smell is different." But this condition is not met, charcoal fire is used when barbecue, while others are used for coal balls. This is the so-called charcoal.

"Since it is a Tang Dynasty delicacy, then the familiar Hu cakes and so on are not suitable for us. Naturally, our Tang Dynasty is no longer impossible to eat without Hu food. Everyone thinks about it. What kind of food cannot be made into delicious food that is flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, or even planted in the fields? Today, I will let everyone open their eyes and enjoy the appetizers, and taste the authentic Tang Dynasty delicacies."

The so-called Hu food, in general, should be considered as some fast food foods, which are convenient to carry foods, such as Hu cakes, glutinous rice cakes, etc., are sold on the streets. They are larger than the Tang Dynasty pastries and can satisfy your hunger. Perhaps one can make people full, or even eat half full. However, the Tang Dynasty pastries are not that simple. The pastries are exquisite, but they are very small. Naturally, you can't carry a basket to eat along the way, or even put a basket in front of the banquet table. Besides, these pastries are relatively expensive foods, and even the nobles of the Tang Dynasty would not eat pastries as staple food.

"Dear guests, our diet will change next. There will be a maid in front of each table. They are responsible for picking up food for you. You just need to point out one or several foods on the field and let the maid take it for you, instead of taking everything. If there is not enough, you will be embarrassed. Because there are too many types, you cannot make too many quantities."

Yang Heng's last appearance explained the rules of this supper, that is, there are no rules, you need whatever you like, your hands are fast, and your hands are slow.

"What I made is a soup cake, or it is not a soup cake. This is called noodles in the Yang family. This noodles have no seasonings in pure noodles. Here I have prepared three kinds of braised vegetables for you to use. This braised vegetables include beef fried sauce, sweet noodles sauce, and the last one is pure salt water." The first chef who can make it explained and stepped aside.

Of course, this chef belongs to Yang Heng's home, and Yang Heng's instructions to make these three kinds of braised rice, so that the guests can choose them themselves. If they eat the mixed flavors, they will eat the mixed flavors, some will eat the sweet flavors, some will eat the sweet flavors, and some will eat the salty ones.

As Yang Heng expected, everyone unanimously chose the beef sauce braised rice, and the other two were idle. In fact, if Yang Heng asked him to choose, he would not choose this one, and he would directly choose the salted water noodles. Why? I was tired of eating it before. Put some salt water in the light noodles, which would make it delicious, right?

"This is a very ordinary white rice porridge, which is made from rice selected from the Yang family. Most people can't eat it. But I also have an auxiliary material here, that is sugar. If you don't like to drink porridge alone, you can also add sugar." Whose chef is this? He saw that the person who made the noodles in front gave three kinds of braised rice, so he had a sudden inspiration and found some sugar to put it aside. Of course, there are two choices for this porridge, but the sugar is really ugly, some yellow and some black. Do I still need to change the sugar?

Even if there are two kinds of soups, the next one is yellow rice, white rice, and various cakes.

What is particularly rare is that Yang Heng discovered a kind of steamed bun. It has been a long time since he came to the Tang Dynasty. This is the first time he discovered the steamed bun. But if he looked closely, it was still different from steamed buns. It was considered a steamed bun. If it was dried, it could be used as a stone. Could it be that this was the steamed bun that Zhuge Kongming developed to pay tribute to people in the past? No wonder there weren't many people eating it.

What was that? Suddenly, Yang Heng found a busy and sweaty chef beside him. "Little Langjun, that's a slaughter, a very beautiful delicacy. Look at his movements, look at his cooking utensils, and look at the guests, they are all waiting for this thing."

What is this? Yang Heng looked carefully. It was just a deformed food of oil cakes. The ingredients were more particular. If you smell the smell in the air, you could naturally tell that he used sesame oil, and what was it, jujube paste, and those kitchen utensils were all made of silver.

However, what Yang Heng valued most was a steamer on the other side. Yang Heng knew that it was the favorite food of the Tang Dynasty literati and poets, that is, the Dichu Rice. This kind of food was only seen in history books after the Song Dynasty. It is said that in the later Song Dynasty, the imperial court even made up stories to slander this food in order to eliminate this food, saying that it was poisonous and what was eaten, but it was just for the considerable yield of rhizomes. Yes, compared with the rhizomes, the rhizomes were still large and could make more food for people.

Both Lao Li and Lao Du have written poems and praised them. "I remember Diao Hu rice, smelling brocade soup." It can be seen that this Diao Hu rice is so beautiful. Similarly, some customers are staring at the pot of Diao Hu rice, and they will let the maid come forward and snatch it as soon as it is out of the pot.

So far, from dishes to various meals, Yang Heng found that there were quite a lot of delicious food in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, he didn't show his cooking skills, otherwise how many people wouldn't have laughed to death. He started with wine, which shows that he chose the right choice. However, there were some regrets that he did not improve salt and sugar, but just planted some seasonings. If you buy these seasonings, they would be sold in the pharmacy, and they were not particularly cherished.

Perhaps, the next goal is salt and sugar. When he discovered this, he had already learned from the butler that there were salt mines nearby, but unfortunately, they could not be eaten. Needless to say, there were too many minerals inside, and some of them were even poisonous, so no one could eat them. The salt on the market all came from the beach, and it was boiled and salted, but it was not drying salt yet. Is this a great thing? Next, he should apply to Li Er to buy a salt mine, so that his family will have a new industry, that is, salt industry, salt drying, then forget it, he didn't want to live at the beach.

Sugar, it is said that sugar cane is the product in the south. So, transporting sugar cane from the south and making people research and make white sugar or brown sugar is also a good industry, right?

When Yang Heng was thinking about it, everyone fought and left slowly, while Li Er had already left. He left before dinner. The shareholders had no idea, but the sending of Li Er and old Li Gang left with satisfaction. Yes, maybe one or two articles or even research reports were released after they went back. Although this food was still lacking, the mainstream things were here, and people were satisfied. (To be continued...)
