Chapter 285 A Relaxing Night

Fried and fried foods first appeared in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

But because there was no edible vegetable oil at that time, only animal fat, and the oil was very expensive, so even ordinary officials didn't have to eat it, only senior officials and dignitaries could enjoy it.

The technology of fried food is immature in this era, and there are not many people who specialize in the research of deep-frying technology. In addition to steaming and cooking in the Han Dynasty, the main thing was barbecue. Everyone in the dignitaries ate barbecue, but I didn’t hear much about people who like to eat fried food. .

Liu Bei could afford oil, but he lived a long time at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he also felt that frying things was a luxury, and he usually didn’t use it lightly. Occasionally, when he got hungry, he asked the cook at home to fry a few pieces of chicken to satisfy his hunger, that’s all. .

But today is New Year's Eve, the first New Year since he took office as Liangzhou pastor, and he felt that he had to give everyone something good.

The officials were very surprised to learn that Liu Bei was going to cook for everyone in person, but this evening Liu Bei was very kind and amiable, and he didn't have the nuclear einsteinium and kryptonium feeling when he was handling official business before, which made them all feel very warm.

After all, Liu Bei is not a devil. When he should use the warm man mode to face big guys, he will never be stingy with his warm man mode. When do you want to turn on the warm man mode?

So he personally cooked fried chicken to satisfy everyone's cravings. The high calorie and high protein of fried meat is very unhealthy food for people with less exercise in modern times and cannot be eaten often, but for the army in the war-torn period of ancient times It is a rare magic weapon.

High calorie, high protein, high oil and salt, and a layer of fried carbohydrates on the outside, perfectly fit the ancient soldiers under high mental stress and high-intensity physical activity.

For them, high-calorie fried meat can quickly replenish physical strength and relieve nerve pressure in a certain sense. It is definitely a magic weapon on the battlefield.

If any army can replenish fried chicken legs or fried chicken nuggets to the soldiers regularly and quantitatively, the morale will definitely explode.

It would be an anecdote if the army eating fried chicken could not win the battle against the enemy army who drank porridge and swallowed vegetables.

Liu used the medium-sized salt basin used for cooking salt in the salt factory as a tool, poured a lot of oil into it, and wrapped the chicken marinated with salt and sauce for a period of time after removing the fishy smell with onion and ginger. Pour the powder into the salt basin one by one, and start frying with a bang.

In order to ensure that the fried chicken is more crispy, Liu Bei also added the re-fried process. The strong aroma of oil and meat permeated the entire courtyard of the State Shepherd's Mansion, not to mention the women and children brought by the officials. It is also quite greedy.

Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others who are relatively close to Liu Bei have never been far-fetched, and they have no sense of distance at this time. They mentioned it.

"I don't use it very much myself. Occasionally I think of something to satisfy my cravings. It's a big day today, so I have to give everyone a good meal."

Liu Bei operated the built kitchen counter with a smile, and the gesture of cooking for the big guys to make a New Year's Eve dinner was deeply reflected in the eyes of everyone present.

Afterwards, the delicious fried chicken came out of the pot. The first pot of Liu Bei had just been filled, and before it had cooled down a bit, Zhang Fei and his team took it all away and brought it to his own table.

Jian Yong, who had been staring at him for a long time, cursed and shouted [Zhang Yide, you are not human] and ran after Zhang Fei, and started a fierce battle with Zhang Fei. The two fought fiercely.

At first, the big guys thought that Liu Bei would not like this scene, so they all kept it, but at a glance, they saw Liu Bei laughing, laughing and booing at the same time, making Jian Yong beat Zhang Fei, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Only then did I react.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, the night that everyone should relax the most throughout the year. Even Liu Bei, who was the most serious in the past, relaxed, lest the world would not be chaotic.

So Ruan Yu couldn't bear it first, stood up and took the lead and rushed over, screaming, vowing to grab the food prepared by the idol himself and enjoy it alone.

Han Hao couldn't help it when he saw it, and immediately stood up and rushed over. The two civil servants were entangled with Zhang Fei, a big and thick man, but they didn't lose the wind. After a while, Zhang Fei rushed to the table. lump.

Afterwards, more and more people also rushed over, surrounded Zhang Fei's table on the inner and outer floors, shouting and scolding constantly, and the Confucian scholars who used to be gentle and easy-going were all revealed It's ugly to hear the original shape and swear by the big Han country.

The first batch of people who went up basically grabbed a piece of fried chicken, put it in their mouths, and chewed it, their eyes lit up immediately.

The crispy shell of the fried chicken was instantly bitten, and the aroma of fried carbon water first filled the whole mouth, and the delicious gravy of the fresh and tender chicken burst out immediately, and mixed with the aroma of fried carbon water, forming a sweeping mouth and mouth. The aroma bomb in the nasal cavity exploded.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's chaotic battle with a smile, and while shouting loudly, asking everyone to grab it together, he also operated deftly. The second pot of fried chicken will be out of the pot soon.

As a result, at some point, Zhen Yan ran over, took the big plate of fried chicken in his hand, and waited for Liu Bei to put fried chicken in it.

"You are smart, you can solve the problem directly from the source?"

Zhen Yan chuckled.

"If you are a decent person, if you don't compete with those rude people, it will be unrefined, so don't do it."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Bei laughed out loud, and put all the second pot of fried chicken that had been re-fried into the plate in Zhen Yan's hand. Zhen Yan was overjoyed, and Liu Bei shouted at the top of his voice.

"The second pot is ready! Come grab it! Don't let Zhen Yan snatch it away!!!"

Zhen Yan's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Liu Bei stunned, but before he could react, a large group of military officers and scribes with green eyes rushed up and began to fight around him, the country cursed one after another, and the scene quickly ended. It's a mess.

The pressure accumulated throughout the year seems to burst out here.

Everyone releases the pressure they have accumulated for a long time to their heart's content. On this special occasion and special moment, they release to their heart's content.

Not to mention Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, who have never paid attention to rules, even Guan Yu, who has always been serious and serious, would snatch the fried chicken from Zhang Fei's hand and put it in his own mouth, and then wrestle with Zhang Fei, competing for the ownership of a piece of fried chicken .

There seems to be no second brother or third brother here, only two lunatics who are jealous for a piece of fried chicken.

It can be seen that everyone's pressure is quite high, so much that once there is a window to vent, they will feel a little bit overwhelmed.

Even Xun Yu, who was the most polite and well-bred, was holding the flagon at the table and gulping down wine for himself, and then watched a group of lunatics scrambling and fighting with a drunken smile, clapping his hands and laughing.

Xun Yu is like this, let alone other people?
But it doesn't matter, why didn't Liu Bei take this opportunity to relieve the pressure?
