Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 693 Behind the Feast
While Fei Qian was busy going around in Pingyang, far away in Jinyang, Taiyuan, in the incomparably gorgeous Wang's mansion, a sumptuous banquet was being held.

In the Han Dynasty, even if it is recalculated from the time of Liu Xiu, it has been stable for nearly 200 years. Therefore, the attention of the gentry in various places is naturally more detailed and cumbersome than that in the pre-Qin period.

The Taiyuan Wang family is basically the controller of the entire Taiyuan, and the other small noble families in Taiyuan are more or less related to the Taiyuan Wang family by marriage or discipleship...

It can be said that the entire Taiyuan gentry is like a spider web weaving together, and in the middle of the spider web is the Wang family of Taiyuan.

The guest of honor at the banquet was naturally Yang Zan, governor of Bingzhou.

Although the Wang family banquet was a family banquet, its specifications were similar to those of the princes. The musicians in the hall played the qin music slowly, and there were four groups of dancers dancing in the middle of the hall.

Most of the etiquette in the Han Dynasty is particular about numbers. For example, in a banquet, the emperor can use eight flavors, the princes can only have six flavors, and the doctor can only get four flavors. But in fact, there are many times when there are policies and countermeasures...

Isn't it only four dishes?
So as long as there are only four dishes on the table forever...

Wang Jing, named Zidu, the second son of Wang Yun, is handsome and handsome. Compared with his father Wang Yun, he is three points more handsome, but he seems a little feminine.

With a smile on his face, Wang Jing patted his palms lightly, and then turned to Yang Zan and said, "This way of 'Qiang boiled bacon' is specially prepared by Yang Gong."

Yang Zan laughed loudly, and said: "Everything is prepared, it must be exquisite, the old man is lucky today!"

Qiang stew means boiled mutton, and broiled means roasted whole lamb.As for the spicy hot pot, people in the Han Dynasty said that it could not be put on the table. In fact, the main thing is that there is no sauce and spices.

However, since there are not as many dipping sauce spices as later generations, the Han Dynasty will naturally pay attention to other places.

The waiters came in one file at a time, and Qiang stew was naturally served first.

The gold pot used for Qiang cooking is nothing but a pot made of gold. The almost transparent soup in the pot has been boiled, bubbling and bubbles, and then put it on the side of the table for Xiao Hong over the mud stove.

The mutton used for shabu-shabu has already been sliced ​​into thin slices, and spread out one by one on the black stone slab. The bright red meat and fine white fat lines are like flowers blooming on the slate. red flowers.

Of course, such trivial matters as shabu-shabu naturally don’t need Yang Zan to do it himself. As long as he makes a look with his eyes, Meiji beside him will naturally pick it up gently with jade chopsticks, and then put it into the boiling soup. With the catkin shaking a few times, the color of the thin slices of meat faded slightly from bright red, and they were picked up into a small dish and sent to Yang Zan's lips.

Yang Zan lowered his head slightly and opened his mouth, then ate the sliced ​​meat, closed his eyes slightly, chewed for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "As expected, there is only one word for it, 'fresh'! Sheep is good, fish is even better!"

Wang Jing nodded with a smile, and said, "As expected of Mr. Yang, he hit the nail on the head." The food carefully prepared by the master must be eaten by the diners, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disaster if the cow chewed peonies?
"This soup is made from Yumen's red scale and golden tail. After it becomes thick and white, throw chicken into it to remove the fishy smell, and you can get this clear soup." Wang Jing said lightly.

Wang Jing said it was easy, but in fact it was not easy.

The red scale and golden tail refers to the famous Yellow River carp.

Yellow River carp, there has always been Luo carp and bream, which are said to be as expensive as cattle and sheep. For soup, fish is completely abandoned, and only soup is required, which shows the luxury of the Wang family's food.

After eating the Qiang boil, it is naturally roasted.

After the stew was brought up by the waiter, Yang Zan could smell the tea scent sandwiched in the scent of the mutton, intertwined with the scent of the mutton, which properly eliminated the slight smell of the mutton without overwhelming it Originally the aroma of mutton...

"Zidu, could it be that this sheep is roasted with tea?" Yang Zan was still quite surprised, this is the first time he has encountered this way of eating.

Wang Jing clapped his hands and praised, "Duke Yang is indeed an expert!"

When the price of tea bricks in the Han Dynasty was normal, even ordinary ones cost several thousand yuan, and those of better quality cost more than ten thousand yuan. Using tea bricks as fuel to roast whole sheep is considered a very wealthy behavior.

Naturally, Mei Ji, who was serving at the side, took a small silver knife and cut the mutton to serve.

Yang Zan was eating, but suddenly he had a vague idea in his mind, so he stroked his beard and asked Wang Jing, "I wonder if this dish is made by Zidu, or..."

Wang Jing cupped his hands in the direction of the back hall with a half-smile, showing respect, and said: "This is a special order from our ancestors when he heard that Duke Yang is coming."

The old man of the Wang family is not in good health, Yang Zan naturally knows this, and to Yang Zan, Wang Yun is the Situ of the current dynasty, so it is impossible for Yang Zan himself to come to the Wang family's house with the title of governor of Bingzhou Domineering, being entertained by Wang Yun's son is already pretty good...

However, Mr. Wang specially asked Wang Jing to prepare these two big dishes just to entertain himself?Yang Zan felt that the old man of the Wang family definitely didn't order it just for fun.

Yumen's fish...

Tea roasted sheep...

Yumen's fish removes the fishy smell, and the tea-roasted lamb covers up the smell of mutton, and these two dishes are passed down from the Hu people...

Mrs. Wang, what do you want to express?

It means that in this northern land, if you want to eat well, you must know how to adjust the smell, that is, you must know how to get along with barbarians?
Yang Zan lowered his eyes slightly, thinking, this might be one of the meanings.

Fishy, ​​fishy...Xin...Yumen, Yang Zan strung together a few words in his mind, and suddenly remembered that Xin had written a book that mentioned Yumen, I understand, but the meaning Is it me, or Fei Qian, or both?
Tea means tea, and tea means smear, after slaughtering a sheep, burn it with tea...

Um, does this mean that I should go back to Shangdang again?Then guard the sheep for the Wang family in Taiyuan?

snort!
but……

Yang Zan pondered for a moment, and then tentatively said: "Zidu, the prince is kind, Zan has five inner feelings, but Zan has no feng shui, and no vegetation to help, it is really difficult to do it."

When Wang Jing heard Yang Zan's words, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he said, "Mr. Yang, you only need to know that there is no need to worry about food!"

Well, now that it's all said...

Yang Zan narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said with a smile, "So, Zan was rude! Hahaha... just what Yizi said!"

　"Dijiao checked the family genealogy and ordered Zong Zhengqing to read: Emperor Xiaojing had fourteen sons. The seventh son was Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. Sheng gave birth to Liu Zhen, Marquis of Luchengting. Zhen gave birth to Liu Ang, Marquis of Pei. Ang gave birth to Marquis Liu Lu of Zhang. Lu gave birth to Liu Lian, Marquis of Yishui. Love gave birth to Liu Ying, Marquis of Qinyang. Ying gave birth to Liu Jian, Marquis of Anguo. Hou Liu Buyi. Busu gave birth to Liu Hui, Marquis of Jichuan. Hui gave birth to Liu Xiong, Fan Ling of Dongjun. Xiong gave birth to Liu Hong. Hong was not an official. Liu Bei was the son of Liu Hong."

　　The identity of Liu Daer compiled by Luo Daer...

　　Sometimes when I think about it, fortunately, Da Luo didn't have internet trolls at that time...
