Chapter 240: Mandarin Fish Fatty

Zhang Xiangzhong asked: "What's true?"

Su You said: "The old man said, let me bring the issue of "Shang Shu" to Bianjing, and he can give me a letter of introduction to anyone I want to find..."

Zhang Xiangzhong laughed and patted Su You on the shoulder: "Brother Xian is so lucky and popular that even Brother Yu is envious..."

Shi Wei held the white turtle pitifully: "Brother Xiaoyou, how about we return the white turtle to Grandpa Zhizhou?"

Su You glared: "Why?! Why should you give back the turtle you won with your true skills?! Weier, don't worry, Grandpa Zhizhou is very honest. If he loses, he loses. At worst, I'll let him win again next time

It’s just that I haven’t made delicious food for a long time, Wei’er, what do you want to eat?”

Shi Wei thought for a while: "Let's eat dry-roasted crucian carp."

Zhang Xiangzhong licked his lips: "No, how can you enjoy crucian carp? I'll ask for two mandarin fish from outside! This is the best time to eat in August!"

Since soda oil came to Chengdu, the seasonings in this small courtyard have become more sophisticated.

For example, chicken floss was used as a substitute for MSG in the past, but now with ovens and rocker grinders, it is made into compound chicken powder with dried mushrooms, ginger slices, dried fungus and other ingredients.

As for Cornus officinalis sauce, pickled vegetables such as Cornus officinalis sauce and pickled ginger are added, which is a bit like Korean kimchi in later generations.

Dry-roasted mandarin fish is also a famous Sichuan dish in later generations.

Cut open the belly of the mandarin fish, remove the scales, gills, and internal organs and clean it with water; then use a knife to make a few staggered cuts on both sides of the fish body, apply salt inside and outside, and marinate with cooking wine, ginger and green onion shreds for a short while;

When marinating the fish, chop the fat and lean pork into fine pieces; remove the roots of the green onions, wash them and cut them into sections;

Pickle ginger in dogwood sauce, remove and chop finely;

Add sugar, vinegar, chicken powder and appropriate amount of water to mix the sweet and sour sauce;

Once the ingredients are ready, you can start frying the fish.

Heat the frying spoon and add oil until it is 60% hot. Add the mandarin fish and fry it until it turns light yellow;

The pan must be hot, the oil must be warm, and the fish must be fried completely without breaking the skin.

After the fish is fried, put some oil on it and stir-fry the minced sesame seeds on the other side.

Heat the iron pan over high heat until red, pour in tea oil, stir-fry the minced meat until the meat is shiny and crispy, add onion, garlic granules, dogwood and minced ginger, stir-fry out the aroma and red oil;

The most important thing is to add some minced bean sprouts to enhance the flavor.

Add the sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce and stock to the pot, bring to a boil and add the fish;

Simmer over low heat for a while, turn the fish, wait until the soup is almost completely dry and the oil is re-oiled, then put the fish on a plate;

Stir-fry the remaining minced meat seasoning in the pot and hang it on the fish, and the dish is ready.

The origin of this dish is called "jilai gravy", which is to stir-fry the fish over low heat to force out the collagen in the fish, allowing it to dissolve in the soup, and gradually dry out to form a rich gravy.

.

Zhang Xiangzhong would definitely find various reasons to come whenever Su You came to visit Shi Wei. He was even more familiar with where to put various things in the kitchen than Su You.

The Heavenly Master stopped showing off and arranged the bowls, cloths and chopsticks himself, and then went about his business.

Yuan Degong is already a master in making bubble wine, but he is not as good as Su You and Shi Wei. The old man is a medical expert and knows the impact of alcohol on children's bodies, so he will not let them eat it blindly.

Yuan Degong is already a master in making bubble wine, but he is not as good as Su You and Shi Wei. The old man is a medical expert and knows the impact of alcohol on children's bodies, so he will not let them eat it blindly.

But Su You didn't make a fuss this time, for no other reason. It's good to drink and eat fish, but the dry-roasted mandarin fish with the gravy soaked in the sauerkraut and rice is a real delicacy!

Besides, the old man is very good at making fragrant drinks. The sour plum soup made with grass roots, water chestnuts, black plums and various herbs is so delicious.

When everyone came to the table, Zhang Xiangzhong took a piece of mandarin fish with his chopsticks, and then he pointed at it with his chopsticks: "Gong De, try it quickly. I said I want to make it with mandarin fish! This taste can never be tasted outside!"

Yuan Degong smiled after taking a sip: "Xiaoyou, you come here too few times, and you haven't learned all the Daoyin skills yet."

Su You plowed the rice, raised his head and muttered: "It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious! I'm so busy that I don't even have time to cook!"

Then it was quiet, only the sound of chopsticks and dishes touching each other was heard.

After a quarter of an hour, the two adults and two children breathed a sigh of relief together. One and a half of the two mandarin fish had disappeared.

Only then did Zhang Xiangzhong return to his appearance as a heavenly master. While slowly picking out meat dumplings, he chatted with Su You: "Brother Xian was just concerned about the solar eclipse, but he didn't know that the comet entering Ziwei Yuan would be a major event that would shake the sky."

Ziweiyuan is the imperial palace, which is not good for the emperor.

Coupled with the solar eclipse of Gengxu in August, the mood in the court suddenly became fierce. Two things were mainly focused on establishing a crown prince and deposing Di Qing.

Zhao Zhen himself had three sons, but all died young, so in the second year of Jingyou, he brought King Pu's youngest son into the palace, named him Zhao Zongshi, and gave him to Queen Cao to raise.

When he was four years old, Zhao Zongshi was named the left prison guard and deputy commander of the mansion. He was later promoted to the right wing general of the Lin Army and the governor of Yizhou.

When he was seven years old, after Renzong's biological son, King Yu Wang Zhao Xin, was born, Zhao Zongshi left the palace and returned to his biological father, Zhao Yunrang.

When he was one month shy of eleven years old, Renzong's biological son, King Zhao Xin of Yu, died young.

Six years ago, when Zhao Zongshi was eighteen years old, he was promoted to General Youwei and Training Envoy of the Yuezhou Regiment.

Wen Yanbo, Liu Hang, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, and Sima Guang took turns to play, talking about these two things.

The article seems to be very skillful. Emperor, you can choose whomever you like, and we will all be happy.

Some have given three plans to the officials: A, B, and C. For the officials, you can choose from Taizong's branch, or from Taizong's great-grandson, but the one closest to you is Taizong's great-grandson, and that's okay too.

Yo……

Some people say that in the official family, you should put one there first, and then slowly give birth to it on your own, and then let it go back after it is born, wildly implying that it is not like you have never done this before.

There are even more extraordinary things, the official family, the two dynasties of the country have succeeded each other. If we don’t establish a prince, we will not establish one, but you first appoint a clan to be the prince of Kaifeng...

I really have endless worries for the emperor, but the crown prince really doesn't have many choices.

Zhang Xiangzhong said: "Tuanlian is very filial by nature. He likes reading and doesn't like to play. He dresses frugally and plainly, just like a Confucian scholar... Hey, when you put it this way, it sounds like you."

Shi Wei also held the bowl and nodded, thinking that this was the replica of Brother Xiaoyou, and she immediately had a good impression of Zhao Zongshi.

Zhang Xiangzhong said: "I heard that when he meets his teacher, he usually wears court clothes, saying that he is meeting his teacher, and he dare not treat him disrespectfully. Some of the clan members borrowed a gold belt and returned it with a copper belt. The housekeeper was not angry.

, but he said this was originally my belt and accepted it anyway."

"Moreover, he once asked the waiter in front of the palace to sell him a rhinoceros belt. It was originally worth three hundred thousand, but it was lost. He didn't ask any questions about the regiment training."

Shi Wei nodded even more vigorously. I also lost a lot of things sent by Brother Xiaoyou, and he never asked me.

Su You was embarrassed that he was such a pervert. No, it was a special case. That was because he was an adult at heart.

But when these things happened to Zhao Zongshi, the only impression they left on him was that they were false.

However, the problem is that there is no way to refute this matter, otherwise others will ask, what about you?

I had no choice but to end the topic quickly: "How did the officials handle it?"

Zhang Xiangzhong said: "Both things are things that the officials are unwilling to do, and they have been delayed for a long time. This time, they can no longer be delayed."

"There is no other way. Compared with Vice President Chu, we have to sacrifice Privy Secretary Di first."

"History of the Song Dynasty": In the eighth month of Guihai, Di Qing stopped and appointed Han Qi as the privy envoy.

There is a heart-wrenching addition at the end: It's evening, and the comet is gone.

Su You shook his head: "The princes of the imperial court are too mean to the warriors."

Zhang Xiangzhong also shook his head: "But finally there is a good thing. Academician Zhang is back in charge of the Planning Department, and the imperial government's finances can be said to have improved."

Su You shook his head even more: "Because people make things happen, systems cannot make things happen, so there will be no follow-up. When he was in Beijing, the country had three years of grain and six years of grain. But when he returned to the capital, he wrote to me, saying that his predecessors would

All my savings from that year were once again depleted."

Zhang Xiangzhong said: "Isn't this back again? Mr. Zhang is now famous in the court."

Su You continued to shake his head: "I think too much. Now in the court, background is more important than ability. Mr. Zhang has no party..."

…

"History of the Song Dynasty": Fang Ping returned to Yizhou and made a memorial of 400,000 yuan in levy, and minted more than 100,000 yuan in Jiaxing, Jia, and Qiongzhou, and the people of Shu took advantage of it.

At the beginning, Fang Ping was in charge of planning the capital. He had three years of food, but the horse millet was twice as much. But now the horse millet was only one year old, and the grain supply was also reduced by half.

Fang Ping then drew up fourteen strategies for water transportation. Prime Minister Fu Bi read Fang Ping's memorial and came forward, and the day was exhausted for ten quarters.

Shang Taixi praised him for his good deeds. Bi said: "This is the great book of national affairs, and it is a very special tribute." It was carried out as instructed.

Tui said to Fang Ping: "Since the Qing Dynasty, public discussions on food and goods have been detailed. Every time the court makes a profit or loss, it must be based on public reports."
