Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh money meat
And the origin of the dish he is going to make is actually quite worth talking about. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
Longxi Qianqianrou, also known as Longxi Butterfly Meat, Qianqian Rou, and Merlot Meat, is known as "the best in Longyuan". As early as the Sui Dynasty, when the famous Sui Yang Emperor visited the west, it was included as a tribute to the imperial court. among the list.
The reason why the word "Longxi" is added is that there is also a dish in Guizhou cuisine called "money meat", and the second reason is that this rare and famous product in the northwest is produced in Longxi and is the most valuable.
Legend has it that in the ancient Chang'an area, during the twelfth lunar month of winter every year, there were many small workshops and mills that slaughtered donkeys that had lost their ability to work. The meat at that time was precious, and naturally no part of it could be wasted. Therefore, under the wisdom of people, Under the combined effect of time and time, such a legendary dish appeared.
The finished product of money meat is about one foot long, black and red with a dark golden color. It must be cut into small discs when eaten. There is a small hole (urethra) in the middle, which looks like a copper coin with a colorful head, which means it is very good, so it is called it.
As for when the other name Merlot meat began to appear, it is impossible to verify. It is said that Concubine Yang Guifei and Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty loved the deliciousness and nourishment of this meat. There seems to be some truth in saying it?), "The concubine riding on the red dust laughs, no one knows that it is lychees." Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty transported not only Lingnan lychees to Chang'an for Concubine Yang, but among the large number of royal tributes, the money and meat from Longxi were impressive. This column is taken from the meaning of Pomeranian's smile.
Feizixiao later became lychee. Let’s not talk about the name of Merlot meat. On the contrary, it was the merchants who traveled to Chang’an who made this “money meat” with a beautiful meaning of wealth and prosperity famous all over the world. In the old days, many wealthy merchants entertained guests. , this dish must be on the table.
Perhaps in order to avoid the suspicion of "matching clothes", the name "Meile Rou" suddenly became associated with three less fortunate emperors, namely King You of Zhou, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Ming of Tang. At that time, people were very concerned about the so-called remarks. The emphasis on freedom is not as subtle as it is now. It is not easy to talk about this kind of thing and judge it like a paternalistic thing.
In short, after this dish with a history of more than a thousand years was included in the royal tribute list, it became more refined and focused on nourishing and nourishing health. In particular, the secret recipe of its medicinal materials has been greatly increased or decreased almost every hundred years. The famous doctors and chefs at that time improved it. As for what it tasted like in the end, only the emperors who were lucky enough to taste it personally knew.
Let’s start with the original small workshop. A donkey working in a small workshop has gone from working in the prime of life to an old donkey whose physical strength has declined. There is a high chance that he will never see a double eyelid in his life. I don’t know if the beautiful female donkey will go through the process of turning from pink to black, but it is said that only when the old virgin donkey has not lost its kidney water and its yang is released, the finished product of money meat will look purple with black. With gold in the middle, the interior can also show the most perfect amber gold color.
Lin Chou felt happy, and couldn't help but wonder in his mind that such a snake-oil-level term as "the edge of a sword is sharpened" actually sometimes breaks down.
After the first time of the ice air box is up, it needs to be adjusted to natural light for drying.
It’s a shitty system that is shamelessly pirated. I don’t know how Lao Xue figured it out. This thing is really useful.
After taking out the dried donkey whip, it was completely black, wrinkled, and hard. When I knocked it on the chopping board, it made a "boom" sound like a drumstick.
Everyone's faces were full of fun,
"Hey, the cock is so hard."
"Boss Lin, you are such a bad person. People are like this. Can't you give Ji Er a holiday?"
Lin Chou threw the donkey whip into the spice pot and simmered it until the dark soy sauce mixed with various spices was fully saturated.
A pot of old soup with thick oily red sauce does not contain any oil, which avoids any possible mismatching, and only dried spices can be used, and there is no need to specialize in salting and sun-drying in the ice box to remove the fishy smell.
This step is completed.
This is also the significance of this dish. The smell of donkey whip itself is difficult to get rid of. In addition to time, it is difficult to completely control the seasonings no matter how good they are. You must try to ensure the original flavor while not using too many spices and saltpeter.
Making and drying is an almost perfect solution.
Nitrate only needs to be made once, but stewing and drying needs to be repeated several times. The brine used each time is slightly different. The more obvious thing is that the brine needs to be lighter each time. Only by repeating this can the maximum effect be achieved.
Enhance the flavor of donkey whip.
Even ordinary donkey whip after being marinated is still a foot long, making it difficult to eat it all at once. People at that time ate as much as they could after stewing the donkey whip, and then dried the rest in the sun for the next time they eat.
It only needs to be braised once, and then people discovered that within a certain limit, the more times the donkey whip is braised, the more delicious the flavor will be. This practice has been passed down.
This is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive dish. Few people can make it specially, or they don't just braise one dish like Lin Chou every time. It would be too wasteful.
Even for Lin Chou, it would take at least about a month to make this dish without the cooperation of an ice blower. Only money meat that has been marinated at least three times can be called authentic money meat.
So that it can be taken out for people to enjoy.
After a few rounds, Huang Dashan's face was burning, his face was dark and his eyes were dull.
"...Linzi, why don't you come again?"
Lin Chou said with a smile,
"Having been around Yanhui Mountain for so long, haven't you understood the truth? Delicious food often requires a long wait."
Master Shan nodded, his eyes widened,
"I understand this. Even a three-year-old child understands it, but I wasn't the one lighting the fire at that time!"
Lin Chou choked.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered a story..."
The people in the circle were impatient for a long time. When I heard a story, they felt a little more energetic.
"About that thing in the pot? Tell me~"
"That's right."
Lin Chou said,
"Just because of the money and meat in Longxi, I even hooked up with a high-ranking official. In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty before the great catastrophe, Lafayette fled to Chang'an."
(Ahem, I’d like to add that you know the names of the places. Someone should know the reason for the escape, but it’s hard to write it down. Ke Du Niang.)
"Duanfang, the governor of Shaanxi, presented the special product of Chang'an and Longxi to the Queen Mother. After tasting it, she found it to be tough, chewy and full of fragrance. Queen Mother Fengyan Dayue liked it very much, so she ordered a tribute. It is said that the target is three thousand jin per year, cough
Hey, I guess people who know the origin of this dish will burst into tears on the spot. If there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing."
Everyone is happy,
"Three thousand catties...I'll go...then will there only be geldings in Chang'an?"
"The taste of Lafayette is really strong..."
"Hey, what does this mean? I heard from Shen Daru that that guy has been drinking human milk... and that's what keeps him healthy. It is said that his skin becomes smooth and tender as he gets older. I don't know whether it's true or not.
"
Lin Chou continued,
"Later, someone came forward and told the story of the origin and rarity of money and meat, so Duan Fang gave up. Due to his meritorious service, he was transferred to the post of Chief Envoy to the South, and then promoted to the Governor of the North. In the 28th year, he was acting Governor of Huguang, and later Liangjiang.
Governor, hey, according to rumors, a large part of the saying "Going back with merit" comes from here."
Everyone was speechless,
"..."
"This... feels... weird."
Lin Chou said,
"I just said that for everyone's enjoyment. As for whether it's true or false, I can't guarantee it. I'm afraid Shen Daru will come over and point at my nose and scold me if he finds out about my nonsense."
Chen Qingyu looked shocked, swallowed and said,
"Isn't it so difficult to be a cook these days? There are so many things you need to know, it's too much to mess with."
Huang Dashan put down the fire stick and exhaled,
"This guy only talks so much when cooking. You don't usually see people like him."
Chen Qingyu nodded,
"A man who is capable and works hard is really handsome."
"But I am different. I am extremely handsome at any time~!"
(Chen Qingyu: Mad is so dangerous that he was almost misunderstood.)
Huang Dashan held his chin and glanced at him up and down.
"No need to explain, it's too deliberate."
"..."
Lin Chou suddenly interrupted the awkwardness between the two of them,
"Okay, okay~"
Everyone eagerly followed the fragrance for a long time, and it was already dark, so they finally got what they were looking forward to.
The huge donkey whip has been dried and marinated several times, and has shrunk from more than three meters long to about two meters. It is about the same thickness as a human waist. When placed on the chopping board, it is black and reflective, and there is a faint hint of dark gold color from a certain place.
The smooth part of the mushroom-shaped top is exposed.
Generally, money meat is cut into round slices or discs with a diagonal knife to facilitate presentation. This is where the name of butterfly meat comes from. After slicing with a diagonal knife, there is a "money eye" in the center of the oval slices when placed in pairs facing each other.
Just like the two pairs of wings of a butterfly or the tail feathers of a peacock.
Although the appearance is not outstanding, the meat inside the golden meat is a shiny amber gold. The translucent texture can be said to be shining under the gradually increasing lights around it. A faint aroma is instantly diffused in a small area.
Come on.
This kind of look and feel makes people forget its previous form. If it is served like this and no one speaks, it is guaranteed that the food eaters will not be able to figure out what it is.
"Hiss...this smell..."
"My boss Lin is amazing! It smells so good!"
"Hiss, smell the chicken and it will be hard~"
"Pfft...can you please stop repeating this..."
Lin Chou rolled his eyes.
After cutting a plate, he tasted a piece under the eager gaze of everyone.
"Ahem, try the poison. Although it has been tested before, it is a sixth-level creature after all, so it is better to be careful."
The focus of everyone's attention is obviously different from what Lin Chou thought.
"How is it? How does it taste?"
"Needless to say, it's delicious!"
"Try it, taste it...I'm so anxious..."
Lines of black writing suddenly appeared on Lin Chou's retina,
"Guizhou donkey has no skills:
Randomly seal one to three of the most proud bloodline abilities and alienation skills of the person who eats this dish and convert them into one of the selectable main attributes according to their power, including but not limited to mental power, vitality, physical strength, strength, if not selected
, it will be automatically filled to the highest value of the attribute, and the duration will be six hours.
The stronger the ability, the higher the converted attribute value. The specific numerical reference is: skill power, improvement amount and essential height.
(Note: ji, this ji is not that ji.)"
Then, an immense force surged throughout his body.
Wait, wait a moment...
Lin Chou's pupils dilated. He tried summoning the attribute list, but found nothing. Then he tried summoning the damn system, but it still didn't appear.
Damn it, what’s going on!
Didn’t the system sneak away to Yanhui Mountain? Why is it still producing special effects?!
This is different from the last time Lin Chou made a half-crocodile dragon. The unchangeable special effects carried by the alien beasts themselves are not within the scope of the system's coordination. Even if they appear, they will be in Lin Chou's vague way.
In the form of "sixth sense", instead of being directly displayed on his retina in a way similar to system prompts like now, isn't this a function of the system?
Lin Chou repeatedly summoned the system, but there was no reply, which made him feel a certain kind of doubt. This emotion was quickly eliminated by another emotion.
Lin Chou suddenly said with a stern look on his face,
"What the fuck? System, the young lady got a big watermelon?"
"Hey~ If you have the guts, you keep beeping, you keep beeping me, mmp is getting better at you day by day, you keep beeping, your guts are fatter than your waist, can you still tell who is the protagonist? Damn it!"
Damn, this is all you can do!
Ahem, I feel ashamed to say that.
The system has always been Lin Chou's flaw. After finally changing the system from the advanced intelligence back to the Little Overlord version, this guy suddenly started to show off. It's... simply arrogant!!
Wei Tianxing dangled a fat hand in front of Lin Chou's eyes,
"Hey, hey...Boy Lin, why are you so stunned?!"
Lin Chou came to his senses, saw the worried expressions on everyone's faces, apologized and said,
"I am afraid that this dish will disappoint you this time, and you may not be able to eat it."
Then he suddenly froze.
Eh?
Just because we can’t eat it, doesn’t mean others can’t eat it!
Lin Chou asked anxiously,
"Who are you, General Ye and that guy, still drinking tea?"
Although everyone was confused, someone quickly answered,
"No... they've started drinking instead... they've already started playing chess, and it looks like they're ready to fight until dawn."
Lin Chou picked up the plate and handed it to Wei Tianxing, and said solemnly,
"Go, find someone to put it on the table of General Ye and that guy. Let Old Xue prepare a few other dishes and say it's from Bafanglou. You must find someone who understands."
Wei Tianxing rolled his eyes, switching back and forth between Lin Chou and Qian Rou.
"Are you...serious?"
Lin Chou nodded extremely seriously,
"I'll explain it later. Don't worry, it's definitely not poisonous. Let him test it however he wants!"
Everyone stayed there for a minute and suddenly realized something. Their faces varied from anticipation to excitement to disbelief.
Wei Tianxing took a breath,
"Okay, then I'll send it there myself."
After Wei Tian walked, everyone gathered around him.
"Boss Lin, tell me~"
"Hey, I smell a conspiracy."
"Can this dish be enough to trick that kid?"
"That's not right, it's useless for him to trick him. That ordinary person...that bloody corpse..."
