Chapter 369: Really fragrant
These fruits and melons are freshly picked and are naturally delicious!
After eating almost the same food, I still feel a little hungry. After all, these fruits and melons are not full. After doing so many things in the morning, I really make people very tired and hungry.
Emperor Hongzhi even felt that his chest had been pressed against his back, but it was not convenient to say anything, so he naturally waited for Fang Jifan to arrange and arrange.
Finally, the food was finally served.
There are seven or eight tables, dozens of long benches, and no special chairs.
Emperor Hongzhi sat alone on a bench, and the others were not so lucky. Two or three people squeezed into the bench, and some of them couldn't be used.
Usually, these officials and men are all sitting on official hats and chairs, with a stern look, but now they are crowded with their colleagues, and they can't help but look a little embarrassed. However... after getting used to it a little, they have a different experience. Anyway, everyone is not much better and they are not afraid of losing face.
The most exciting thing is serving.
These dishes were served, and many people's eyes were lit: "Hey...hey... This is the fish I caught. Even though this tail was steamed and it was completely clear, I still recognize it."
I fished!
Although this is just a trivial matter, it seems to be a different feeling of satisfaction.
So the others also let go: "This bracken was dug by me..."
This was dug out by myself through hard work. Thinking about it, it was so embarrassing. It was really not easy to pick it.
After a plate of mashed potatoes were also delivered, Emperor Hongzhi became interested, with a little joy on his face, and pointed at the mashed potatoes with chopsticks and said, "This is something I have digged out from the ground, I will try it."
In fact, everyone was really hungry, and their index fingers were waving when they only smelled the tempting aroma of the dish.
Finally, the final dish was served at the end.
Well... the dish that Fang Jifan personally invented.
Pig-killing vegetables!
This pig-killing dish was famous in later generations. It was a famous dish in Northeast China. It was originally a stew held in rural areas when slaughtering pigs every year near the end of the year. In a large pot, all parts of the pig were thrown into the pot, including pork bones, lean meat, pork belly, pig blood, pig intestines, pork kidneys, etc.
In just a moment, a smell of meat spread throughout the room.
Fang Jifan said excitedly: "This is the pig I saw with my own eyes kill..."
When everyone heard the word "pig", they became a little taboo and couldn't help but look at Emperor Hongzhi.
People in later generations spread rumors and always believed that the Ming Dynasty emperor's surname was Zhu, so they were not allowed to eat pork. This was actually a huge misunderstanding. However, although they were allowed, they always slaughtered pigs and shouted that... they always seemed a little... weird...
Fortunately, this person is like this, and many people don’t take it to their hearts.
In the same way, some people say that this is called having other intentions and meanings. Xiang Zhuang dances a sword, aiming at Pei Gong, and may even contain evil intentions and have ulterior motives.
But some people say that it is a teenager who is ignorant; it is really sad for people with brain disease; this kid doesn't know how to read and speak in a child's way of speaking without restraint.
Fang Jifan obviously belongs to the latter!
However... although I was very hungry when I saw this pig-killing dish served, many people still frowned slightly.
You should know that aristocrats rarely eat pork except Dongpo pork.
The reason why Su Dongpo invented Dongpo pork and became popular was because the pork was fishy and difficult to eat. However, Dongpo pork was different. It contained a lot of sauce. Two taels of green onions, two taels of sugar in three pounds of pork, four taels of Shaoxing wine, one tael of ginger, and three taels of soy sauce.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, this Dongpo pork was a series that the rich did not want to eat and the poor could not afford it.
For rich people, at most, they can use this dish to decorate it, but they have many dishes to choose from, so naturally they don’t care about this Dongpo pork.
As for the poor, I finally bought a few kilograms of meat and was preparing to celebrate the New Year happily. You also wanted me to buy sugar, wine, sauce... and put it in large quantities in the meat. These various ingredients are no longer cheaper than meat.
Because there are a large amount of ingredients that can remove the fishy smell in pork, but ingredients are actually a luxury in this era. Many people can’t afford salt. They have to buy inferior salt mixed with sand. How could they add so many ingredients to make a meal of meat?
In the Ming Dynasty, many people ate sheep and raised sheep. Pigs are rare even in the countryside.
Therefore, when everyone heard that it was pork and the pork was stewed in a mess, they suddenly felt that they were no longer interested.
I couldn't help but look at this dish with curiosity... the meat... but it made me feel a little strange.
They have always seen pork, but pork is cheap, so when sacrificing to Saint Confucius, they often use cold pork because it is cheap.
And this is the first time I have seen the way to stew such a pork. To be honest... how can I get it?
Everyone didn't say anything, just looked at the pig-killing dish silently.
This reaction was long ago as Fang Jifan expected, and he secretly poked Zhu Houzhao, who was in the same seat.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was also very awkward. Looking at the pork, she looked very scared.
However... this pork is really different from the pork they had seen before.
The ordinary pork at this time of the Ming Dynasty was similar to the so-called pork and mutton in later generations. They were all made with lean meat, but there was a lot of fat in the jar in front of me.
After all, Fang Jifan cut them off, so he would not have a bad temper or run around. The pig had very little exercise, and he almost ate and slept. After sleeping, he would naturally have a fat body.
Looking at the white patch, Fang Jifan instigated Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness will try it first."
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Lao Fang to click on him.
Is this the righteousness of a brother? This is to harm him.
He was a little unwilling to agree, but in front of his father and so many people, not to mention that everyone looked at him strangely, Zhu Houzhao had to bite the bullet. He raised the chopsticks carefully, as if he was about to go to the execution ground.
At this time, Xiao Jing, who was standing aside to serve, said, "Wait, use the silver needle first..."
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said, "It's okay to be here just like in the palace."
At this time, a piece of fat and thin meat had already reached Zhu Houzhao's chopsticks. Zhu Houzhao gritted her teeth and made a great decision, she happily stuffed the meat into her mouth.
He thought about swallowing it in one bite.
Lao Fang is not kind.
He thought so in his heart, but... gradually, his expression became slightly strange.
This meat actually... has no fishy smell? Instead... has a strong fragrance?
With a gentle bite, the fatty oil in the fat meat and the lean meat are soft and delicious, giving Zhu Hou a strange flavor.
In this era, there were almost no large pieces of fat meat. Whether it was cattle, sheep, horses and pigs, they were covered with essence or bones. Zhu Houzhao should be the first person to taste the kind of fat meat that later generations were.
Perhaps for later generations, the fat meat is too greasy and not delicious.
But they don’t know that for those who have never tasted fat, this taste of fat is another taste that other meats cannot bring.
Zhu Houzhao began to chew it carefully, and her face became more and more weird.
I have to say that the meat is more delicious the more you chew it. Compared with the slightly fishy smell of mutton and the older horse meat, it seems that only donkey meat can compare with it.
Unfortunately, this donkey is a rare thing and can be used as a livestock, and the price is also expensive, so ordinary people are reluctant to eat it.
"It smells so good!" Zhu Houzhao said this sentence from the point of resisting a piece of meat to chewing it carefully.
It is really delicious, especially the rich meat aroma, the meat is delicious and the greasy and tender. The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao is already hungry.
This pork-killing dish is really worth the appetite.
"It's so delicious!" No matter what he does, he is inevitably a little exaggerated, but this is indeed his intuitive feeling.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look surprised.
The pork made in this way is delicious?
Other ministers still dared not move their chopsticks. After all, His Royal Highness had too many black records in the past, which made people feel unreliable. Who knows if this is a prank that joined forces with Fang Jifan?
Zhu Houzhao's reaction naturally made Fang Jifan very satisfied, so Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile and said, "Your Majesty can taste it."
Although he looked at his son eating the meat, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but thrust his face when he heard Fang Jifan's words!
He glared at Fang Jifan, and his eyes seemed to mean, Fang Jifan, don't play tricks with the prince, otherwise, I will never forgive you.
After all, Emperor Hongzhi was still the kind-hearted person. Although he gave Fang Jifan enough threats and was half-believing and half-doubted, he still raised his chopsticks, found a piece of fat and thin, and carefully stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as the meat was in his mouth, Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.
Actually... it is completely different from the pork stew he imagined?
It is refreshing, delicious, tender and smooth, and the lean meat has a bit of muscle, which is really unimaginable. You just throw the ingredients in and stew them all in a row, and there is almost no added too much seasoning. Instead, you deliberately use stew to show the tenderness and refreshing meat, which is indeed incomparable to other meats.
Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually stretched out.
call……
After a bite of meat, my appetite suddenly became wide.
There was no lack of delicious food in the palace. Emperor Hongzhi was amazed that just a ingredient with just a little salt could make this taste. Moreover, he was really hungry. This rich taste made him feel even more comfortable.
Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't help but say: "It's really delicious."
Fang Jifan laughed, Emperor Hongzhi's words were what he needed the most!
So he took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, this meat soup tastes better."
Chapter completed!
