There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 8 The Veteran Foodies of the Northern Song Dynasty

Li Chu took a deep breath. This is the name of the dish in cross talk in later generations. He used to learn such a song on purpose. Unfortunately, his body is not strong enough. After singing only a short section, his breath could not keep up, so he had to stop and rest. for a while.

Now it's time to eat, he doesn't believe it, once this unique trick is used, it will not attract people.

With Li Chu's voice, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded.

This time, everyone who sang was caught off guard.

Everyone has seen yelling and shouting, but such a series of yelling without stopping, and the word is the name of various dishes, this kind of unique skill has never been seen before.

Listen, it's interesting and fresh.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chu, who is not up to date on weekdays, has such a unique skill, really amazing.

"Xiao Chu, come on again."

A neighbor in the crowd yelled, and everyone immediately supported him.

"Yeah, sing us another verse, it's much better than that opera."

Li Chu rolled his eyes at them. Is this how your uncles treat you?
After adjusting his voice, Li Chu began to sing again:

The neighbors watching again: "..."

Axiu: "..."

Yang Cheng and Ah Ning continued to be dumbfounded...

This word is simply too magical, the more you listen to it, the more interesting it is, full of rhythm, and the names of the dishes sung here are all people have never heard before, just listening to the name of this dish, this mouth is greedy , was seduced.

Some people even started to babble.

Li Chu's voice was very loud and penetrating.

The merchants passing by on the street also heard it, and turned around curiously, looked this way, and when they saw many people surrounded by this side, they all followed suit.

It is the nature of Chinese people to join in the fun.

Even if there is a gap of thousands of years in time and space, it is resolute.

Then this group of newcomers saw Li Chu holding a large iron spoon for cooking by the stove and reading the names of the dishes.

This group of merchants is different from the residents in the small town. They travel from south to north, so they have more vision and experience. They can tell at a glance that this is a restaurant. However, they did not go forward immediately, but chose to watch like neighbors. .

Compared with eating, many people are more interested in Li Chu's reported dish name, which sounds really fresh.

If it is time to sell goods, you can also learn to yell like this, and the storage business is booming.The eyes of a group of businessmen who saw the business opportunity lit up, and they silently calculated words in their hearts.

On the street, after the old man ordered Ah Fu to send Luo Wen to the hospital, he turned around and looked in the direction of the crowd.

The old man's little heart was beating violently.

The expression on his face was very excited, like a hungry tiger seeing its prey.

He has traveled all over the world for so many years, from all over the world, what kind of food has he not eaten?But just now, the voice from the crowd sang the names of these dishes one after another. The old man was horrified to find that among the names of this series of dishes, he actually only knew a few...

Old man, excited.

Now that he is nearly seventy years old, he lacks none of his family, career, and wealth, and he has no regrets, but this mouth is the only one, which is especially delicious. The older he is, the better this mouth is.

For a delicious meal, even regardless of the long distance, he ran from Gyeonggi to Yangzhou for several months.

Every time a birthday is celebrated, no birthday gift is accepted, only delicious food is accepted.

In the Song Dynasty, the old man thought he was on the way, and few people could match him.

However, with such a rich food experience, he has heard countless names of dishes that he has never heard of or eaten in this small town of Rufen. This is simply...

The old man's breathing became faster and faster.

The young man in purple came over quickly, supported the old man, and stroked the old man's back.

"Child, come on, help me in and have a look."

The young man in purple has been with his grandfather all year round, and he knows his grandfather's hobby very well. Of course, he has also enjoyed a lot of delicacies in the world under his grandfather's glory.

The young man in purple also has a good understanding of eating this piece. When the name of a bunch of dishes burst out in the crowd, he knew that there was no need to rush to Ye County at noon today.

"I also ask all the folks to make room."

The crowd of onlookers saw that the young man in purple was imposing, and he was dressed cleanly and decently.Seeing him supporting the old man respectfully, he is such a filial young man. Seeing this, everyone gave way to the young man in purple and the old man.

The young man in purple helped the old man to sit up, and Axiu immediately brought a cup of hot water.

The capital can no longer afford tea, so hot water can only be used instead.

As soon as the old man sat down, he asked Li Chu excitedly: "Just now you were yelling, so how can you cook sea cucumbers, fried crab meat, and boil them in a pot?"

The old man naturally saw that Li Chu was a restaurant, but it was a pity that Li Chu sang the names of the dishes too quickly just now, and there were so many names of the dishes that the old man remembered these few dishes.

"will not."

Li Chu shook his head. Although he is a foodie, there are too many delicacies in later generations. It is impossible for him to know everything. Moreover, there are many ingredients involved. system, there are no extra custom coins at present.

will not?

After a pause, the old man was immediately disappointed, and the originally very excited emotions gradually subsided and became calm.

"Then what do you know?"

Every now and then, the old man's emotions began to revive again, and he asked unwillingly, although the man in front of him was young, he could name so many dishes that he had never heard of before, but relying on this, the old man believed that This young man should not disappoint.

Li Chu looked around at the ingredients around him, groaned, and was about to answer the old man, but the old man's eyes were attracted by something.

It was the iron pot that Li Chu put aside, and the old man stared at it for a long time.

"This thing is an iron pot?"

The old man pointed and asked.

Hey, he is a know-it-all!Li Chu's eyes lit up, and the old man recognized the iron pot. This was beyond his expectation. He smiled and nodded in response to the old man's question: "Master, your eyes are like a torch. This thing is the iron pot."

The old man was moved.

Quite surprised, I didn't expect to see an iron pot in this small Rufen Town.

A few years ago, by chance, he was fortunate to be led by an old friend to a private courtyard for dinner, and the host warmly entertained them.The owner took out an iron pot and made several unique dishes without boiling.

The old man still remembers it deeply, and the delicacy of that dish is still in his mouth.

The host calls this way of cooking stir-fry.

That's right, it's stir-fry!
Later, the old man wanted to go again, but unfortunately, with his status, he had no chance to enter that kind of place again.

In this regard, the old man has always expressed regret.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he would actually see the iron pot here again.

And the iron pot in front of me is thinner and finer than that one.

The old man was excited again, his hands were shaking constantly.

Seeing him, the young man in purple hurried forward to help him, but the old man waved him back.After a while, the old man calmed down his excitement, and then looked at the bowls of seasonings beside the trolley.

squeak……

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you instantly take a breath of air.

These more than 30 bowls are all seasonings?
"Are these all seasonings?"

Even though he had guessed it in his heart, the old man still couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice.The old man has traveled all over the world for so many years, so he naturally knows this seasoning. There are four or five kinds of seasoning in ordinary restaurants, and there are seven or eight kinds in high-end restaurants.

But in front of me, there are more than 30 kinds of bowls in this bowl, which is simply...

Just from the fact that the old man recognized iron pots, Li Chu knew that the old man in front of him must be someone who knew how to eat. When the old man asked, he didn't hide it, and pointed to the bowl with his hand and said:
"This is salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, white wine, sweet noodle sauce, bean paste, tempeh, tomato sauce, tomato sauce, sesame sauce, salad dressing, white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, pepper, pepper, pepper, star anise , bay leaf, cinnamon, black pepper, white pepper, cumin, cumin, five-spice powder, curry, fermented bean curd, chopped pepper, pickled pepper, starch, MSG, chicken essence, oyster sauce, rice wine, XO sauce..."

elder:"……"

The purple-clothed youth: "..."

Onlookers: "..."

Axiu: "..."

Li Chu didn’t say one, the old man’s eyes lit up a little. After all the seasonings were finished, the old man’s eyes were as bright as the sun, and his income was very large. Regardless of Li Chu’s presence, he stretched out his finger and put in the seasoning. Then put your finger in your mouth.

The first is table salt.

Well, when the old man put it in his mouth, he was horrified to find that the snow-white particles were actually salt.

The old man picked up the entire salt bowl, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then put the night back. Before Li Chu could do anything, the old man actually grabbed Li Chu's clothes and was so excited. Question: "Where did you get this refined white snow salt?"

Salt was a very sensitive word in ancient times.

Poor people can't afford it, so they can only season it with vinegar cloth. Ordinary families can occasionally buy some low-grade coarse salt, which is tacky and unpalatable.

Fine salt, even if finely processed, still has some peculiar smell, and the color of the salt is white with yellow.

Only the fine salt is white and tasteless, but this kind of salt is made by officials, and ordinary people can't afford it, nor can they eat it.

But in front of him, the salt is as white as snow, and the taste has no trace of peculiar smell, pure salt.

This is not just a matter of seasonings, but a huge deal and business!
