Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1876, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea
In a restaurant in Vladivostok called 'The North Pole', Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin are sitting and ordering food, ready to taste the delicious food of Vladivostok.

Tasting delicious food is also a great hobby of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin along the way, and it doesn't cost a few dollars anyway.

I also tasted the specialties of various places, which opened the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi. Many things were tried for the first time. Compared with the dishes in the palace, they have a unique flavor.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the two masters in front of him. The mink coat alone was worth a lot of money, at least a few thousand taels of silver. Then he looked at the many servants who followed him, they were definitely worth a lot. The person with background.

So when he came in, shopkeeper Chen was very enthusiastic about the street.

In winter, there are few boats, and the business of his restaurant is also very slow. When he finally meets a big customer, he naturally needs to treat him well.

"Shopkeeper, it's our first time to Vladivostok. Do you have any recommendations for some local delicacies?"

Liu Jin looked at shopkeeper Chen and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes~"

"This shop is a small shop that specializes in our Vladivostok specialties. It specializes in local specialties."

"You are coming to our Vladivostok for the first time, there are a few dishes that you must try."

When shopkeeper Chen heard this, he immediately recommended it with a smile.

"The first dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms. The chicken must be the first-class wild snow chicken in the forest, and it must be caught alive. It has been raised, and the soup is made with fresh pheasants."

"Mushrooms must also be selected from a variety of precious wild mushrooms collected in the forest, sea and snow fields, such as hazel mushrooms, fungus, tripe mushrooms, boletus, Coprinus comatus, pine mushrooms, and flower mushrooms."

"These wild mushrooms are all picked during the picking season, and then dried, so that the umami flavor can be brought out to the greatest extent when the chicken is stewed."

"Stewing is also very particular. It needs to be stewed over a low heat to bring out the flavor. The only condiment is to add a little salt when it comes out of the pot."

"This dish is the most famous dish in this restaurant, and it is also a dish that everyone must order. It is not to be missed."

Shopkeeper Chen introduced with a smile the chicken stewed mushrooms in detail.

Vladivostok is close to the sea and the mountains. It has a rich sea area and a vast forest, sea and snowfield. The food is also from the sea and the mountains, or a combination of the two, forming a distinctive local cuisine.

"Yeah, let's get one~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he laughed immediately. Stewed chicken with mushrooms is also quite famous in later generations. Of course, the chickens in later generations are basically fodder chickens. It is difficult to buy native chickens, let alone wild ones.

As for shiitake mushrooms and the like, you can buy some wild mushrooms, but the price is also very expensive, and ordinary people are really reluctant to buy them.

This pure wild snow chicken and pure wild mushrooms, I don't know what the stew will taste like.

"Okay~"

"The second dish not to be missed is sika deer."

"In Liaodong, there are a lot of deer. The most precious one is of course the sika deer. The velvet antler of this sika deer is a treasure. Drinking deer blood can prolong your life. Venison is also very nourishing, because sika deer forages in the forest, sea and snow all year round. All kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, including ginseng."

"So this venison is very nutritious, you must try it when you come."

"Our store has always kept a few pure wild sika deer bought from hunters, which can make some special dishes for the two of you."

"This deer blood soup must not be missed. It is very nourishing and good for the body. The sizzling venison is extremely sweet and nourishing. In addition, deer bone soup is also very nourishing. Add some Chinese herbs and ginseng to stew together Cooking will definitely satisfy you."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and introduced another dish to Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, which turned out to be made with sika deer.

It's also quite luxurious.

The sika deer of later generations can be artificially bred on a large scale, which is not a rare thing, but the wild sika deer is a protected animal, and it is impossible to cook for you.

"Okay, let's get one."

Liu Jin also nodded after listening.

"Okay~"

Shopkeeper Chen laughed even happier when he heard it. This is a big customer. This dish is not cheap. Buying sika deer plus raising, slaughtering, cooking, etc., this series of tedious procedures Wait, this sika deer is going to be sold for dozens of taels of silver here.

In the past, only those big businessmen and big ship owners were willing to eat this dish, and most people were not willing to eat this dish at all. What's more, this is a forest, sea and snow field, and it is actually easy to eat venison. There are people in the vegetable market who sell what they hunt. You can buy several catties of venison for 100 renminbi.

"This is the third dish, then we must try our Liaodong bear's paw."

"We have a lot of blind bears in the Linhaixueyuan of Liaodong. The bear paws are very thick and extremely difficult to handle. Only the most experienced chefs can cook bear paws."

"Chef Dong in our shop is a master at cooking bear paws, and the storage will satisfy you."

Shopkeeper Chen promoted another famous dish, bear's paw.

"Come and try something new, this is the first time to eat this thing."

When Liu Jin heard this, he was also dumbfounded.

In later generations, I would watch this stuff, there is no place to eat it, and I dare not eat it if I have money, but in this era, it is served on the dining table in such a grandiose way, and it seems that everyone agrees with it It is commonplace, and it is estimated that this dish is still very famous here.

"Are there a lot of bears in Liaodong?"

After listening, Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked.

"That's a lot. In this forest, sea and snow field, not only are there many bears and deer, but there are also many tigers. People can often hunt tigers."

"But tigers take things, and the meat is not tasty, so only tiger skin and bones are valuable, and there is nothing else."

Shopkeeper Chen quickly replied.

"Then will the tiger and the bear harm people?"

Emperor Hongzhi asked again.

"It's rarely heard of. They are all in the deep mountains and old forests. Among the forests, seas and snow fields, they rarely appear on the plains."

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and shook his head.

"That's good. In other places, there are often stories about tigers harming people."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction. Tigers and bears are not easy to mess with. There are often news in South China, Qinling and other places that tigers are harmful to people, and then the government has to organize people to kill tigers to prevent people from being raped by tigers. Harmful.

"Our Liaodong has a vast land and few people. There are many mountains and forests. The vast forests, seas and snowfields are incomparably vast. Tigers, bears, deer and the like are not uncommon, and there are many of them."

"We also go into the mountains to hunt and collect mushrooms in summer and autumn. We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains."

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile.

"In addition to mountain delicacies, our place is also close to the sea. Let me recommend some seafood for you."

"The first thing you can't miss is the Matsuba crab. Although it is the best season to eat Matsuba crab now, it is still very good."

"Matsuba crab?"

"I've heard of its name when I came here, let's have a taste."

When Liu Jin heard this, he also nodded and said.

"okay."

"For the second seafood dish, I recommend eel to you. This eel is also a special variety here. The fresh eel is charcoal-grilled, plus our special seasoning. It is extremely delicious and not to be missed. .”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled happily. The customer in front of him is really a big customer. He is really willing to eat. As long as he can tell, he will order everything without blinking his eyes or asking the price. He is a real big man.

"I've tasted the eel here in Japan, and it's really good. Let's have some too."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard it, he immediately recalled the eel he had tasted on the Wa country, and he also spoke.

"Okay~"

"For the third recipe, I recommend you to try the unique salmon in our Whale Sea. The meat is extremely delicious. We only steam it and pour some of our special soy sauce water. It will definitely satisfy you."

Shopkeeper Chen started selling another dish.

"Okay, just serve these few dishes, and you can order some other dishes, special dishes."

Liu Jin also said after listening.

This feeling is pretty good.

Daming has a fertile and vast Liaodong region, and Vladivostok is close to the sea and mountains and forests. There are too many things to eat here, and the key is good things.

Thinking about the future generations, we are more sad. We are limited to that little land, and too many, too many good things are wasted in the hands of others.

Well now, this piece of land belongs to Daming people, and good things can be savored slowly.

"Okay~"

"You two, please wait a moment. Our dishes will take some time to cook. We will serve some side dishes and warm wine first, and you can drink first."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately said happily after hearing this, and then hurriedly let the kitchen get busy. Some dishes are very troublesome and time-consuming to cook. Fortunately, these two masters seem to have no shortage of time Lord, where are you slowly looking at the snow scene.
