Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 120

For a chef, the most important preparation is to go to the market.

After nearly a year of training, Mi Xiaoye's knife skills have improved greatly on the basis of the original, and she also practiced various tricks spontaneously, which made Su Ziling very relieved.Su Ziling felt that keeping her in the kitchen all the time was tantamount to working behind closed doors.

After taking Mi Xiaoye out several times, whether it was a night market or a wine shop, Su Ziling found that the more he learned, the more delicacies Mi Xiaoye remembered.Su Ziling knew more.

So, Su Ziling decided to take Mi Xiaoye to the vegetable market, maybe Mi Xiaoye could find more things.

In the early morning, Mi Xiaoye, who had made all the preparations, excitedly brought her personal bodyguard Thirteen, and Su Ziling to visit my Dashang's vegetable market!
Although the variety of Dashang's vegetable market is far from comparable to modern ones, it is still very lively!

From the Han Dynasty to the Shang Dynasty, the Western Regions have been continuously exporting various fresh fruits and vegetables to China.

For example, spinach was called "Persian grass" when it was first introduced.The lettuce that is common today was also introduced in the Sui Dynasty. It was a rare thing at that time, and it was known as the "Thousand Gold Vegetable".

In addition to most of the common vegetables today, such as cabbage and eggplant, Dashang vegetables are also well-known in the vegetable circle, including squash, purslane, shepherd's purse, turnip, mustard greens, alfalfa, scallions, beets, perilla, chicken su, Nine-story pagoda and so on.

In addition, there are kombu, water shield, luokui (fungus fungus) and mint.

"Master, in fact, there are quite a lot of vegetables in this market. Spring is here, and there should be a lot of wild vegetables." Mi Xiaoye said.

Su Ziling said with a smile: "Of course there are. In fact, every place has its own special dishes. It's just because of the preservation method. Many dishes can't be bought in Chang'an. But when I traveled around in the past as a teacher, I ate a lot of them. Local dishes."

"If there is a chance, I also want to go to various places to eat delicious food and collect folk songs." Mi Xiaoye said enviously.

Su Ziling said: "Naturally it should be like this. When you grow up a little bit, Master will take you out of Chang'an to visit various places when you have the opportunity. But now you should learn what you need to learn well."

Of course, there are fish sellers in the vegetable market. In Dashang, buying, selling and slaughtering carp is illegal. The reason is very simple. The emperor of Dashang was named Li.There are no carp, but various other fish are common.

Mi Xiaoye pulled Su Ziling's sleeve and asked, "Master, master, what kind of fish are these? Can you tell me?"

Yun Muqing curled her lips, thinking, it's shameful to be cute.

Su Ziling pointed to the fresh and jumping fish and said: "This is Changyu, crucian carp, mullet, silver carp, grass carp, snakehead, trout, herring, jellyfish, rice field eel, loach..."

Not only that, Mi Xiaoye also saw seafood, shrimp, and if the season is right, there could be crabs too!
"Unexpectedly, there are so many types of fish. Master, can we consider opening a seafood buffet restaurant?" Mi Xiaoye said nonsensically.

Sugarcane has been used as a raw material for sugar extraction in Dashang, but it is also a popular fruit. Dashang believes that sugarcane can relieve hangovers, so if you are afraid of being scolded by your wife after getting drunk, you will chew sugarcane to deceive yourself and others.Another way to eat is to squeeze juice, and "cane pulp" is also a common drink for merchants.

Su Ziling smiled lightly, and led her to the fruit selling area.

Dashang’s fruits are actually not too rare. For example, kumquats and green plums and red bayberries are rarely seen fresh because the production areas are too far away, so the ones that can be seen are processed by pickling, honey frying, etc. " "Black plum", "honey plum" and "plum fried" are common items in northern kitchens. They can be used as snacks, but they are mostly used as condiments or medicinal materials.
