Friends who have read "Dream of the Red Chamber" know that there is a chapter about Liu Grandma walking into the Grand View Garden, and being shocked by the palatial, palace-like Jia Fu, who was surprised while walking.
Of course, as the Jia family of the Miao clan, the luxurious noodles can be imagined. This reading came to nothing, after all, we have seen some of the world than Grandma Liu.
Next, as a reader, I was shocked by a dish. It is Wang Xifeng who entertains Liu Grandma for dinner, one exquisite dish after another is brought to the table, the plate is so exquisite that Liu Grandma is at a loss, I don't know how to make chopsticks, I clipped a cold dish nearby, but I didn't know that this cold dish was famous. This appetizing aperitif is called eggplant, how is it made?
The stanza is quoted below:
Sister Feng smiled, "It's not difficult either." You pluck the new eggplant buns from April and May, remove the skin and the hoops, just clean the meat, cut into thin silk, dry it, take a fat hen out of the old soup, put the chicken soup steamed on the steamer on the eggplant shreds into the flavor, and then take it out to dry. So nine steaming and nine sunburn, it must be crisp, and it is sealed tightly in a magnetic jar. When you want to eat, take out a plate and mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds. Grandma Liu shook her head and spat out her tongue: "My Buddha, I have more than a dozen chickens to accompany him, and the strange way is delicious." ”
From The eyes of Grandma Liu, Jia Fu was rich and luxurious, and he could see the leopard.
Nowadays, the dishes in "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be eaten at Laijin Yuxuan in Zhongshan Park in Beijing. How expensive is it? Very expensive and expensive, ask why is it so expensive? You eat culture.
The opening quotation of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" is mainly to set off the strange dishes I want to talk about below. They are "Jade Flute Who Listens to Falling Plums", "Good Soup", and "Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night". You will say that this is the name of the dish, the poetry of the distance!
This is the three dishes that Huang Rong made for the old man Hong Qigong in Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter". I don't think this dish has a strange name, and even the old man Hong Qigong praised it for the first time when he heard it: "I don't know which strange Lao Tzu was born of this girl." ”
Huang Rong used these three dishes to conquer the Old Hungry Hong Qigong. If the worm is a clam, Huang Rong is a kind of cheater, and the old gluttony Hongqi had to take out his own mastery "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" to teach Guo Jing fifteen palms.
Huang Rong can cook, which is not surprising at all. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a trend of favoring women over men in the Lin'an area (that is, today's Hangzhou), and women were proud of being good at cooking, and they were also proficient in cooking skills without learning female red. Nowadays, it seems that I have to sigh what a good learning atmosphere and a progressive atmosphere of competition.
"The middle and lower households do not regenerate men, but each child loves and cares like a wall pearl, and when she grows up, she teaches the cooking industry with her qualifications."
Like the song sister-in-law fish soup named after the woman, it can still be found on the menu of Hangzhou restaurants to this day. In 1127, after the shame of Jing Kang in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song imperial family crossed south, with Lin'an as its capital, and established the Southern Song Dynasty regime. This large-scale migration of the Han people in Chinese history has promoted the integration of food culture between the north and the south. It can be seen that Hangzhou cuisine originated from the Southern Song Dynasty, and its female contribution is quite large.
And Huang Rong's dishes, most likely are Hangzhou dishes, in addition to making those dishes, she may also make crab stuffed oranges, clear soup Yue chicken, fish button chicken, old shrimp and so on. But taking Hangzhou cuisine to deal with the northern Hanzi Hong Qigong is definitely not enough, so it takes some thought.
In fact, these three dishes are actually three subjects. And look at the first dish, the jade flute who listens to the plum; just listening to the name is full of poetry. Such a quick wit is what Huang Rong, a ghost girl, can think of.
Huang Rong's cooking skills are good, but in the face of Hong Qigong, who has tasted the emperor's private banquet, he may not be completely sure. So delicious is only one aspect, and the deep meaning behind the food that makes Hong Qigong taste is the win.
After Huang Rong was done, he served it up and let Hong Qigong guess. Hong Qigong is worthy of being an old foodie, and he eats it with chopsticks, one is lamb sitting on the hip, one is piglet ears, one is calf loin, and one is a mixture of roe leg meat and rabbit meat.
Five meat flavors have been tasted, not simple. The roast beef itself is very fragrant, and when roasted with five kinds of meat, it is even more fragrant.
Borrow Hong Qigong's mouth to feel it: "I only feel that my mouth is full of delicious, it is not ordinary beef, every time I chew it, there is a different taste, or the cream is tender and smooth, or it is crisp and refreshing, and the flavors are varied and varied." ”
The mixed bite of pigs and sheep is a general taste, and the chewing of roe deer is a general taste. If you don't count the order changes, there are 25 flavors produced, just like the plum blossom number in Yixue. And because the meat strips are shaped like flutes, "whose family" listens to the plum, which means who can eat this taste, who? Hong Qigong, this kind of superb horse ass shooting is the ultimate.
So Huang Rong named it "Jade Flute Who Listens to Falling Plum".
Understanding the first course, the second course, good soup is easier to understand.
Look at the original description: the turquoise clear soup floats dozens of red cherries, and seven or eight pink petals, lined with tender shoots, red, white and green three colors, bright and dazzling, the soup is full of lotus leaves.
This dish is full of "color, aroma and taste", and it is eye-catching to watch. The clarity of the lotus leaves, the freshness of the bamboo shoot tips, the sweetness of the cherries, that is needless to say, the cherries are also embedded with dove meat, so surprising.
Huang Rong also explained this dish, such as the face of flowers, cherry mouths, is a beauty. Bamboo dissolves the heart, and the lotus is a gentleman. The spotted dove is taken from the poem "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent, Lady, Gentleman Good", so it is called "Good Soup".
Please look at the word "bamboo to solve the heart", do you remember Bai Juyi's poem?
original:
Water energy is weak for my friend, bamboo solution is my teacher. Why bother with the world and bother to find your own knowledge?
What do you mean? That is to say, the people of Leshui have an indifferent personality, and I want to take water as a friend; Bamboo knows how to be humble and humble, and can be my teacher. Traveling through the sea of life, is it so time-consuming and time-consuming to find a friend?
Seeing no, this is where Huang Rong's cleverness lies, and she began to interact with Hong Qigong. Absolutely?
The third course is even more exquisite.
On the night of the bright moon on the Twenty-Fourth Bridge, this dish is ham steamed tofu. But the meaning behind it is extremely deep.
In the novel, it is written:
The tofu is not small, first cut open a ham, dig twenty-four round holes, cut the tofu into twenty-four small balls and put them into the holes, tie the ham and steam it, wait until it is steamed, the umami taste of the ham has all reached the tofu, but the ham is discarded and not eaten. When Hong Qigong tasted it, he was naturally greatly overwhelmed. This steamed tofu also has a Tang poem, called "Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night".
Whose poems? It is Du Mu's "Sending Yangzhou Han Shu Judge" known as Xiao Li Du.
The original text is as follows:
The green mountains are hidden by the water, and the grass in jiangnan has not withered in autumn. On the night of the bright moon on the Twenty-Fourth Bridge, where the jade people taught to blow the flute.
This poem is completely on the topic, and it is obvious, where is the jade person? Isn't it right in front of you? Isn't it you Hong Qigong!
It can be seen that Huang Rong really did his best to make Hong Qigong teach Guo Jing martial arts. All three dishes show Huang Rong's exquisite cooking skills, superb techniques, ingenuity and sincerity towards Guo Jing.
At the end of the article, I quoted a sentence from Hong Lao's predecessor to do ending, which is also a sentence that I feel very much: "I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, how come I have never met such a girl?" ”
