Chapter 1489 : Red Sleeves Add Fragrance
Xiao Yun understood it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm a little hungry after rowing for a while. Why don't we eat something first?" Xiao Yun said, regardless of whether the other person agreed or not, he let go of the oars and moored the boat in a lotus bush. He broke two lotus leaves and placed them in the middle of the boat. Then he got up and walked towards the stern, and reached out to carry a food box.
As he walked, he said, "If you want to say that the scenery is beautiful, Suzhou has recognized the second place. Apart from Hangzhou, I am afraid that there is no one that dares to be the first. Even Jinling City, which has a kingly aura, dare not. However, when it comes to snacks, it is the other way around. The snacks in Jinling City have a long history, unique flavors, and a wide variety. It has been passed down from the Six Dynasties to this day, with more than a hundred varieties. Famous snacks include meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, and various shapes.
Among them, the representatives are the Confucius Temple area of Qinhuai River. The Confucius Temple Qinhuai snacks are handmade, beautiful in shape, exquisite in materials, and unique in flavor. Lard dumplings, duck meat buns, goose oil crisps, soft cakes, five-spice tea eggs, tofu brain, mandarin duck sesame cakes, jade bags, osmanthus candy potatoes, honey juice lotus root,... Almost every snack shop has a trick, that's so delicious. If you don't go and eat it, it's in vain to Jinling!"
While speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yuluo. Although the girl had a little angry face, she was still gentle. She bit her red lips and looked at his every move quietly.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said, "It's not my style to be taken by a woman?"
He placed the food box in front of the two of them. The food box was not big, it was square, with four floors in total. He took out the dishes inside and placed them on the two lotus leaves just now.
At this time, there were not as many insulation systems as later generations, but our ancestors were very smart. Because this food box is easy to carry, it was used for insulation only. Most of the food boxes are iron underneath, with built-in charcoal fire, and a water barrier on the top. If ordinary people want to bring a food, they often ignite the charcoal on the bottom layer before going out, boil the hot water in the partition, and rely on the hot water to emit heat from time to time to keep the food in the food box from cooling. At this moment, the food taken out by Xiao Yun is still hot.
"The best snacks are in the Confucius Temple, five-spice tea eggs, tofu brain, mandarin duck sesame cakes, jade bags, osmanthus candy potatoes, honey lotus root, "color, fragrance, taste, shape," the style is exquisite, it must look good, and it has a kind of interest that makes people feel poetic reverie and association, which makes people salivate. Golden, yellow, green, white flowers, like the world, colorful; sweet, salty, sour, spicy, like a life of open life, all kinds of flavors. Meat, vegetable, fruit and vegetables, as they want, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each leading the way. There are shepherd's purse sesame cakes, vegetables, meat, buns, and four happy Lantern Festival in spring. There are shepherd's purse sesame cakes, vegetables, meat, and four happy Lantern Festival in spring.
Confucius Temple snacks; in summer there are thousands of layers of oil cakes, flowering steamed buns, and shaved jelly powder; in autumn there are crab roe sauce, shredded radish cakes, chicken and duck blood soup; in winter there are five-nut steamed buns, crystal buns, and tofu brain. The old Huaiyang flavor is well-known: soft and tender and delicious dry shreds; salty and sweet, oily but not greasy buns; fragrant and rich aftertaste Huangqiao sesame cakes, spicy and tofu brain, and the "what" that everyone loves
", each cage of ten pieces, five varieties, both meat and vegetables, sweet and salty. The painting building where people sit is small and exquisite, and the food is small, with landscapes and styles. The landscapes of Qinhuai and the styles of the Six Dynasties, I often take a look at them, and it is called an artistic conception. Xiao Yun looked at them with a yearning look. These things are not eaten today, and they are in a hurry when they leave, so they can't prepare, but they will definitely invite you to eat another day.
While speaking, Xiao Yun had already taken out the dishes and placed them on the lotus leaves. The first dish was to cook dried shreds. The so-called dried shreds are made of tender but not old, dry but not broken. They are specially made in the tofu shop. Cut the tofu into thin strips, cook them with various soup ingredients, mix them with fragrant sesame oil and soy sauce. They are refreshing and have a long aftertaste. Xiao Yun ate them once and can never forget them.
The second dish is beef pot stickers. There is not much meat on the plate. According to Xiao Yun's big mouth, he can only eat three bites, but there are quite a few tricks. Three square pieces of meat are thick and tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-t
The third dish is Bangbang chicken. Wrap the clean chicken with a rope around the leg wings, use bamboo skewers to beat the eyes when the meat is thick, cooked in the soup pot, and then remove it to cool. Use a special small wooden stick to gently pat the chicken breast and chicken thigh meat, tear it into shreds and put it into a plate, and use white scallion on the outside. Mix the seasoning evenly into a sauce and pour it on the shredded chicken. It is all about numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sweet, and good taste. It has the true color, aroma and taste. It is a desire to see it, and it is aftertaste for a long time.
"How can there be no wine without vegetables?" Xiao Yun laughed to himself, and didn't know what trick he had changed, but he actually found a small pot of daughter Honglai from his arms. He also had two exquisite small cups in his hand.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Delicious food and wine, red sleeves add fragrance, and with this lotus, I can afford to die under the peony flowers, and be romantic even if I become a ghost.
Xiao Yun ignored Zhang Yuluo's objection and pushed a cup of daughter Hong in front of her. The meaning was obvious. He asked the beauty to have two drinks with her.
Zhang Yuluo had something to ask for, but she was not inconvenient to refuse. Seeing him pushing the glass, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After a glass of high-quality daughter, she drank a red face, like a decade-old daughter's red face, and her eyes were very beautiful.
Xiao Yun glanced at him and drank a glass quickly. He didn't know whether to drink or swallow his saliva. A pot of daughter Hong was not much, and the two of them drank cleanly. This little wine was nothing to Xiao Yun, but it was different to Zhang Yuluo. At this moment, the girl felt like she was burning like fire. Peach rosy appeared on her snow-white neck. Her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of light rouge, red as blood, and she looked extremely beautiful. Although this was the case, there was no slight drunkenness in her eyes. Xiao Yun then remembered that later generations said that women were like tea and wine, and they could not drink with women when they drank. Today, Lord Xiao had seen it.
