Starting from Jiangcheng, we headed north all the way to the first stop on our way north: Luoyang.
Luoyang is famous for the Yang of Luoshui.
"We are here. There is also a very famous scenic spot here, the Longmen Grottoes. If there is a chance, we can take a break and visit it!"
"Of course, in addition to Longmen Grottoes, Luoyang is also very famous for its peonies!"
“There is also a very classic dish, Peony Yan Cai, formerly known as Luoyang Yan Cai!”
"Because a respectable old man joked after eating this dish: 'Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and the flowers are in the dish', so Luoyang agarwood was renamed peony agar."
"Our first dish this time is naturally the famous Peony Jelly!"
"Peony agarwood should belong to the Luoyang water banquet. Luoyang water banquet began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is one of the oldest famous banquets preserved in the Xia Kingdom so far!"
"Luoyang Water Banquet has two meanings: first, all hot dishes are served with soup - soup, soup and water; second, after one hot dish is eaten at Luoyang Water Banquet, another dish will be served, which is constantly renewed like running water. The meaning of Luoyang Water Banquet is that
The characteristics are meat and vegetables, a wide range of ingredients, simple or complex, and various flavors, including sour, spicy, sweet, and salty, making it comfortable and delicious."
"The water mat originated in Luoyang, which is directly related to its geographical climate. Luoyang is surrounded by mountains, with little rain and dryness. In ancient times, the weather was cold and no fruits were produced, so folk meals mostly used soups, and they liked hot and sour to resist the dryness and cold. Here
People are accustomed to using locally produced starch, lotus root
, yam, radish, cabbage, etc. to prepare an economical and rich banquet with rich soup. Even the princes and nobles were accustomed to cooking the main and non-staple food together. Over time, the Luoyang water banquet with rich local characteristics was gradually created, and gradually formed
'Spicy and sour, refreshing and refreshing' flavor."
"Regarding the water banquet, it is actually related to a very powerful figure Yuan Tiangang. According to legend, Yuan Tiangang observed the sky on New Year's Eve and knew that Wu Zetian would become emperor in the future, but the secret must not be leaked, so he designed this banquet to foreshadow Wu Zetian.
The next twenty-four years will be a scene of fair play and meat.”
"Every dish is soupy and watery, which alludes to Wu Zetian's smoothness; dry and thin, which is a metaphor for Wu Zetian's twenty-four years of relationship. The order of the "Luoyang Water Banquet" is the first eight dishes (cold dishes), four tables
, eight major pieces, four finishing touches, a total of twenty-four dishes, which corresponds to the twenty-four years that Wu Zetian took charge of the government from the first year of Yonglong to his death in Shangyang Palace in Luoyang in the first year of Shenlong."
Everyone said they didn't understand, but they were greatly shocked.
It's actually related to Yuan Tiangang.
This is too mythical!
"Of course, this is just a myth. The real water mat is actually the crystallization of the wisdom of our working people!"
Ye Gui laughed: "We will go to the water banquet later, but there are so many dishes on the water banquet that I definitely can't eat it by myself, so I need a few water friends from Luoyang to come and eat with me!"
"I Cao, I, I, I, I!"
"Lord God of Cookery, look at me, I'm coming!"
"Okay, I know you're so embarrassed, Master God of Cookery, look at me, I'll do it!"
"Everyone, come quickly, we're at the Peony Restaurant!"
Okay, I know it’s at Peony Restaurant!
Water friends from nearby came over one after another.
It is snowing heavily in Luoyang at the moment, but this does not stop everyone from going to Peony Restaurant.
Ye Gui also rushed towards the hotel and walked to the restaurant, where a banner had been pulled up.
"Welcome the God of Cookery to Peony Restaurant!"
Worri!
Ye Gui forgot about this.
He entered the hotel with his head lowered and asked in a low voice: "Are there any water friends who have arrived at the hotel? Tell me which private room you are in!"
boom!
Snap!
Suddenly countless people appeared, and no one knew where they came from.
I saw countless people coming out of various places, and even a few coming out of the toilet.
Everyone fired a salute.
"Welcome, Lord Cook!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
Students watching the live broadcast: "..."
"It's embarrassing for me to say something. No one will have any objections, right?"
"Me too!"
A middle-aged man came out: "Hello, Master God of Cookery, welcome to Peony Restaurant!"
"Hello, Mr. Wang, long time no see!"
Ye Gui introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is Mr. Wang from Peony Restaurant. Chef Wang Huzi who made the Luoyang Yen Cai that the old man praised so much is his grandfather!"
"It can be said that Luoyang Yancai's family is ranked first, but no one dares to be ranked second!"
Wang Tiangang felt ashamed and said: "It's a pity that I didn't learn my grandfather's skills and went to do business, which brought shame to the family!"
"Mr. Wang has also given full play to his talents. If it weren't for your promotion, Luoyang's water banquet would not be famous throughout the country. But if I come to eat the water banquet this time, it shouldn't be made by you yourself, right?"
Wang Tiangang laughed: "If I do it, then the God of Cookery might send me in. I know that the God of Cookery has not sent anyone in for a long time, so his hands may be itchy!"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
