For five thousand years, China’s research on eating is definitely the best in the world! Eating in Chinese culture is not only to fill the stomach, but also developed a special set of rules!
For example, in Xiao Han's hometown, there are rules for formal banquets and serving dishes! The first chicken and two fish are already a given!
However, today's dinner was a little strange. The first dishes that Xiaodong and Lengzi served were exactly the same.
Inside two delicate white porcelain plates, fish meats arranged in the shape of petals were spread flat on them. In the middle of the plates was a small oil dish, which contained yellow mustard that Xiao Han had finally found. It didn't look like it was a dish. , on the contrary, it is like a piece of art!
Such a delicate dish was placed on the table, but no one took their chopsticks.
None of the people here are country bumpkins, and they have all eaten fish and meat before. But this is the first time that they have seen such a strange fish and meat!
The fish fillet is so beautiful! It’s as thin as paper and as tender as jade. What’s even more peculiar is that the fish fillet is almost transparent. Through the thin slice, you can see the blooming peony flower under the porcelain plate! It’s such a delicious food, not to mention eating it. Just looking at it is an excellent experience!
Xiao Han looked at his work with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't cut the fish. He didn't have such good knife skills. But although he didn't cut the fish by himself, he handled everything else personally! For No one dares to take poisonous things like pufferfish lightly.
The first plate, perfect! The second plate, finished... Huh? Why does it feel like something is wrong? When did there be a small gap in the full moon-like plate? I didn't have this when I saw the fisherman's plate! Someone obviously ate it secretly!
There were flaws in such a perfect work, and Xiao Han felt unhappy for a while. He stood up and pulled aside the idiot who was serving the food, and asked in a low voice: "Idiot! What's going on?!"
Of course, he was not angry at someone for stealing, but he was angry that the stupid thief didn't even bother to return to his place. Didn't he look nice after he stole the food?
The idiot was at a loss as he carried the tray, and said to Xiao Han stupidly: "What's wrong with Mr. Hou? What's going on? [New Biquge www.biqule.vip]"
Seeing the confused look on the fool's face, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then glared at him and said: "Hey, you're still pretending! Just eat secretly before! I'm treating you today, how dare you, you bastard, dare to secretly eat!"
The idiot's expression became more and more innocent, and he almost cried and said to Xiao Han: "... Mr. Hou, I haven't... No, I didn't eat it secretly!"
"Still stubborn? Then tell me, why is this fish missing a piece? Don't say it was eaten by a dog!" Xiao Han's stomach was boiling with anger! His voice didn't feel louder. He couldn't eat it secretly. It’s important, I won’t cover it up and I don’t worry about it, but I won’t admit it! This is a big deal!
"Ahem, it's not what the dog ate, it's what my uncle ate..." Just when the idiot was about to cry, a weak voice came from the side.
"Who ate it?!" Xiao Han heard the sound and turned to ask Xiaodong fiercely.
"Master Hou, this is really what my uncle ate. He was afraid that the fish was not completely poisonous, so he ate a piece first." Xiaodong pointed at the fish plate and said to Xiao Han.
"What did you say? This fish is poisonous?" Before Xiao Han could say anything, Cheng Yaojin in the seat exclaimed and almost jumped up from his seat! However, after shouting, he immediately knew something was wrong and sat down angrily.
.
Niu Jinda and Qin Shubao, who were sitting next to Cheng Yaojin, were sweating profusely. They were so angry that one of them kicked Cheng Yaojin under the table! Cheng Yaojin was so kicked that his legs were broken. He didn't dare to shout, so he could only stare in silence.
blue sky.
Hey, these two kicks really deserved it! I was really stupid just now, how could this fish be poisonous? Not to mention Xiao Han was also at the table, no one dared to poison even the King of Qin!
After the fish stealing case was settled and the aggrieved idiot was sent away, Xiao Han returned to his seat and saw several people at the table looking at him with strange expressions.
"Why are you looking at me? Come on, come on, let's have a try. This is no ordinary fish! It's rare to see it!" Xiao Han immediately greeted the guests attentively.
As the guest of honor, Li Shimin did not move his chopsticks. Instead, he pointed at the fish and asked Xiao Han: "Xiao Han, what kind of fish is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Hey, this is the pufferfish!" Xiao Han introduced indifferently.
"Pufferfish? Which fish is said in ancient books to risk death by eating pufferfish? Which fish is highly poisonous?"
When several people heard that this was the famous puffer fish, they were a little surprised. But fortunately, no one was as surprised as Cheng Yaojin! They just wondered how Xiao Han would give them this thing to eat, and he was not afraid of eating these people here.
Everyone fell down?
Xiao Han saw their worries, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks, hung it in the air for a few people to see clearly, and said: "Yes! This is that kind of fish! It is extremely poisonous and extremely delicious! But don't worry, these are all
It has been completely processed! It is not toxic at all! You can eat it with confidence and you will never be poisoned!”
After saying that, Xiao Han first put the fish meat as thin as cicada wings into yellow mustard, dipped it in, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
Close your eyes and feel the unique umami flavor filling the air. At the moment of entry, all the taste buds on the tongue seem to be opened! No wonder some people say: After eating this fish, there is no umami flavor anymore! Xiao Han specially made it
Putting this dish first is to ensure that its unique taste will not be contaminated by other things.
"Is this... delicious?" Seeing that Xiao Han was "testing the poison", the others couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in their mouths even if they had doubts.
"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin frowned and took a bite of the fish. When he tasted the taste, he immediately let out a light sigh, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick the second and third pieces.
However, when he wanted to pick the fourth piece, he picked an empty one. With two plates of fish, each person got exactly three pieces. And because Uncle Fool ate one piece, Xiao Han only ate two pieces.
Putting down his chopsticks with some reluctance, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's not advisable to eat too much of this!"
Qin Shubao on the side also had the same expression. He glanced at the empty plate and said regretfully: "Indeed! Just try a little of this wonderful thing! If you eat too much, it will be like a cow chewing peonies, a waste of natural resources!"
Xiao Han didn't understand why the ancients were so sad after eating good food, but you really shouldn't eat too much sashimi. Who knows if there are parasites in it? That thing is so tenacious that even the extremely poisonous puffer fish can't avoid it.
Not to mention people! Many ancient people fell into this trap.
At least Xiao Han remembered that Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling during the Three Kingdoms period, had a stomach full of worms because he loved to eat fish and meat. Hua Tuo, the peerless doctor, did not cure him! This shows that it is extremely important to keep your mouth shut.
!
Nodding, Xiao Han called to Xiaodong who was waiting outside the door. He removed the empty plates and replaced them with other dishes. This was the real beginning of tonight's banquet.
Today's dishes, except for the first sashimi dish, were all relatively rough. However, because they were all grown in the wild, they had a unique flavor, and several people ate them with praise.
After three rounds of food and five flavors of wine, the atmosphere slowly became warmer, especially Xiao Han interspersed in it, which completely threw aside the invisible barrier between them.
"Cheers!" Xiao Han shouted at the wine table, raised his wine glass high, and bumped it hard with the glasses of several other people. Half of the glass of wine was immediately spilled! This made Boss Li Shimin reluctant, and the bastard stole again.
liquor!
"Masters! Drink to win!"
Leaving aside the sneaky Xiao Han, Li Shimin stood up and drank a glass of wine with Cheng Yaojin and others. He put down his wine glass and looked at the people. Li Shimin smiled and said: "Everyone, I have been busy with official work these days and I have neglected you. Please treat me.
Forgive me!"
"Where, where!" Qin Shubao and others saw this and responded politely.
