Live as the emperor

Chapter 238

Chen Guang took his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone is here."

As soon as Wu Zhu heard this, well, it's already here anyway, so it's not in a hurry for a while.

For all Chinese people, there is a four-character curse that can never be avoided.As long as someone says these four words to you, you will be able to buy tickets to the most deceitful scenic spots, climb the most difficult and dangerous mountains with your life, and eat the worst restaurant meals... These four words are- ——It’s all here.

Obviously, Wu Zhu didn't have any immunity to these four words. When Chen Guang said this, he immediately decided to stay.

But it's not all because of this, Chen Guang taught him too much today, it's really shocking, Chen Guang now looks like a mountain of gold and silver to him, his whole body exudes the light of value.It's as if people go out of their way to have a meal with a big shot, and they don't hesitate to pay any amount of money for it.Now Wu Zhu has this feeling, if he can continue to stay with Chen Guang for a little longer, maybe Chen Guang will continue to teach something, which will benefit him infinitely.Compared with this, things like going back to make milk tea seem to be less important immediately. After all, you can make milk tea when you go back, and the opportunity to eat with Chen Guang may not always be there. Maybe you have passed this village. There will be no more stores.

In fact, no one who can get such a high status is a fool, and he has already perfected the ability to weigh the pros and cons, not to mention reaching the pinnacle.

Seeing that he really stayed, Chen Guang put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Very well, come on, you have worked hard all this way, and now it's time to eat, let me treat you to lunch. "

Wu Zhu said in surprise, "How embarrassing."

The land area of ​​Guangdong is only a small amount, which is incomparable to a large country like Qian State. Although Wu Zhu and Chen Guang are both princes, their gold content is completely different because of the strength of this country.Wu Zhu was naturally flattered when he heard that Chen Guang wanted to treat him to dinner.

Chen Guang smiled slightly, and said, "What's so embarrassing, we are business partners now, and we should be close."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Zhu responded again and again, followed Chen Guang into the yard, and saw a stove from a distance, with steam coming out of a cauldron, which must be cooking something delicious.

When he arrived nearby, he saw the cook grabbing a handful of green leaves and throwing them into the cauldron. Wu Zhu could see clearly that what he threw in was the tea leaves he had transported.Seeing this scene, Wu Zhu was very shocked, what is this going to do?Is it making tea?Where can fresh tea leaves be used to make tea?

Before being made, fresh tea leaves are actually not much different from other leaves. Just throw it into a big pot like this, and what will it be when it is boiled.

"Let's go over there and wait for dinner. Let's chat by the way." Chen Guang led him around the stove and then pulled him aside.

Wu Zhu kept thinking about the image of the cook throwing tea leaves into the pot, and when he sat down, he asked. Chen Guang did not hide anything, and explained the reasons for using tea leaves for cooking.

After a while, the food was served on the table, and the aroma of tea and vegetables mixed together, making people feel refreshed by the smell.

"This is Longjing Shrimp."

"This is tea-flavored beef."

"This is black tea sea bass."

Iron pans in this era are very thick and have poor thermal conductivity, so everyone basically eats stewed food. Only high-end officials and nobles can afford high-end iron pans for cooking, but the so-called stir-frying also It's just stir-frying, and without the use of oil, the taste is actually not good.

But in the hands of Chen Guang, as a southerner, he grew up eating stir-fried vegetables, so he couldn't bear the taste of stewing this time, so he specially made a thin iron pot, and used pig fat and pig skin to extract oil. Then use this lard to stir-fry, and the taste is naturally very different from the current popular dishes on the market.

For example, these dishes can only be made with a thin iron pan.

"Come, have a taste." Chen Guang warmly invited.

The flavor produced by stir-frying is much stronger than stir-frying, plus the aroma of lard, coupled with the aroma of tea... Wu Zhu felt that his saliva was about to flow out before he even moved his chopsticks.After hearing what Chen Guang said, he couldn't wait to say: "Then I won't be polite."

He had spotted a spare rib long ago, and before he finished speaking, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious!" When the meat comes into contact with the tongue, the first is the aroma of tea, the second is the aroma of lard, and the third is the unique taste of the meat itself, which becomes firm after being fried and locked in moisture. It is a three-pronged approach. Wu Zhu almost felt that he could die happily now without any regrets.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Wu Zhu was full of praise, swallowed the meat whole, and licked his lips reluctantly, his throat moved, and his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table.

The same raw material, why does it taste so good after adding a little tea?Not much, and it doesn't seem to be entirely due to the tea leaves. He can still eat this unique cooking method, and the unique seasoning of lard is very new to Kuretake.

Chen Guang smiled slightly, Wu Zhu's performance was completely within his expectations, in fact, not only him, but other people who ate the fried food had similar expressions to Wu Zhu's.

Perhaps the most insipid one is Min'er. She lives in the grasslands, and it is said that she eats more grilled or stewed food, and the aroma is more similar to fried food.

It is difficult to make the taste of stewed food very strong, that is to say, the taste of the food itself is very high, so in this era, pork is rarely eaten or basically not eaten. Pork is cheap meat, because it is simply stewed The pork that comes out actually has no taste at all. The dignitaries don't like to eat it, and the common people want to eat it but can't afford it. It's so embarrassing.

This led to Su Shi's invention of Dongpo's elbow. Although no one can say whether Dongpo's elbow was invented by Dongpo himself, or someone else invented it and borrowed the name of this great writer, but at least from It is an indisputable fact that after the appearance of Dongpo elbow, pork began to be used on a large scale.

However, Chen Guang actually knows that the reason why pork can defeat animals like cattle and sheep is because it is the easiest to breed and grows the fastest. Popularly speaking, it is the most cost-effective.

Chen Guang felt that pork must flourish in his own hands—even though he himself prefers beef.
