The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty: The 1st Daxiangguo Temple International Food Festival


Yun Yanhui was a little embarrassed when she saw Zhao Yunchu coming. She forced herself to stand up and say hello, "Yunchu is here, sit down first, and I'll finish talking."

Zhao Yunchu nodded obediently, sat on a Hu bed, looked at them, and looked pitiful.

"What a lovely little man, little uncle, let him sit down too."

"That's how lonely it is to sit there alone."

Some people shook Yun Yanhui's arm, showing pity for Zhao Yunchu, they all felt that this was Yun Yanhui's playmate, but it's a pity that Yan Ge'er was talking about business alone and left the children alone. .

Yunyan asked Zhao Yunchu, "Will you sit here?"

Zhao Yunchu looked confused. He really wanted to sit next to Brother Yan, but he felt that it was very crowded there. After sitting there, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be crowded with those big sisters again...

So, after struggling for a long time, Zhao Yunchu said weakly: "... why don't you sit down."

He always felt that he might be scorned by Brother Yan. Who knows, Brother Yan really stood up and sat next to him.

Zhao Yunchu was very happy immediately, and saw a sister on the opposite side throw a bunch of grapes over, and reached out to catch it. After thinking about it, he followed the steps of those older sisters, peeling the grapes and feeding them to Yunyan.

"..." Yun Yan gave him a strange look back. In fact, he felt that Zhao Yunchu was wrong, but in the eyes of the public, Zhao Yunchu looked expectant, and he didn't want to slap his face too much, just like he just now It was as if he had really sat down, so he ate.

Zhou Renai didn't know Zhao Yunchu's identity either. Like everyone else, she thought it was Yun Yanhui's playmate, and continued to talk to Yun Yanhui about the day's arrangements. After the negotiation is over, it is time to revise and revise.

"It's settled like this, Brother Yan, take more care." Zhou Renai saluted gracefully, and her daughters also stood up and saluted.

Yunyan returned the greeting, "It's been hard work, will you stay for dinner?"

"Don't bother, let's go back to rehearsal, the food festival is not too long." Zhou Renai led the people away with a smile, a fragrant breeze passed by, and the laughter faded away.

"Fortunately she's gone," Yun Yan turned around and said to Zhao Yunchu, "I'm just being polite, there are too many of them, and my family doesn't have enough bowls."

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu wanted to peel the grapes for him, but Yun Yanhui quickly held him down, "Why are you still addicted?"

Zhao Yunchu said indifferently: "Don't you like it."

"They call me uncle, so they peel the grapes for me. Do you want to call me uncle too?" Yunyan replied.

"No," Zhao Yunchu shook his head like a rattle, and tirelessly added, "But I want to peel the grapes... But it's fine if Brother Yan doesn't like it."

Yunyan replied: "..."

You clans are so boring, have you had too many good days and actually love to serve people?

"I won't talk about you... Are you staying for lunch?" This time, Yun Yanhui is not being polite, "My mother is going to collect the rent, and by the way, I will eat at the old neighbor's place. I will cook at noon today. Yes. fish."

"Okay." Zhao Yunchu nodded.

It's not too early, Yun Yan looked back at what he said and went to pack the fish. This is the freshly caught Hehua fish. Now the chef invited is trying to cook it according to the various methods he said. After tasting it, he felt that it was as delicious as the one he had eaten in modern times, so he also kept a few at home to prepare When it comes to cooking and eating, Zhao Yunchu has caught up.

Yunyan went back to cut the fish, and Zhao Yunchu followed behind him like a small tail, crouching beside him to watch.

"Brother Yan, can I go to the food festival?"

"Come if you want. This is open to the outside world. Anyone can come." Yun Yanhui cut open the fish and removed the gills, intestines, and gallbladder.

Zhao Yunchu said dully: "My brothers don't want to accompany me, some are busy sleeping, some have appointments with colleagues, and some sons have appointments..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui patted Zhao Yunchu's face with her fish tail, "Why are you so pitiful, then you can follow me. I shouldn't have much to do that day, unless there is an emergency."

Zhao Yunchu was slapped with water stains on his face and smiled, "Brother Yan, you are so kind."

"Then go and cut up the dogwood, ginger, garlic, etc." Yun Yanhui commanded rudely.

……

Ginger wipe the pan, pour the oil into the pan and heat it for six or seven minutes, then put the Hehua fish pieces into the pan and fry them slowly. Prepared sauce.

When the fire boils, cover the pot and let it simmer for a while. After the taste, add some chopped green onion and spices to collect the juice and pour it into the snow-white fish-shaped porcelain plate.

This porcelain plate is specially cooked to hold fish. It can even be said that it is specially designed for Hehua fish. After all, the pattern on the edge of the plate is the ears of rice.

The strong aroma hit the nostrils, Yun Yanhui said to Zhao Yunchu: "You're so greedy, you try a piece first, I won't tell Xiaobao and Shuangyi."

Zhao Yunchu picked up a piece of Hehua fish and took a bite, biting through the burnt skin. The flesh of the fish was tender and salty. The soup overflowed into his mouth. Even the fishbone is fluffy and soft, and it can be chewed and eaten.

Even Zhao Yunchu, a Tokyo native who loves sweets, couldn't help but say: "Fragrant and tender, the fish from the Yellow River is hard to come by!"

……

"Fresh, fresh, fresh!!"

Half a month later, at the 1st Daxiangguo Temple Haoyao Sebei International Food Festival, a Korean man stood in front of the Hehuayu stall, and after tasting the Hehuayu soup simmered in a clay pot, he used a standard In Mandarin, say three fresh words in a row.

He closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, his eyes lit up, "In addition to the strong fragrance of fish, there is indeed the fragrance of grass flowers, where can I buy this kind of fish? It's more delicious than the Yellow River fish!"

The Yellow River is not too far from Bianliang. Many fish markets in Bianliang sell Yellow River fish. However, it is obviously difficult to get the Hehua carp specially cultivated by Daxiangguo Temple.

The monk at the booth pointed to the back, "The live fish is in the house. You can buy it inside. I'm sorry, but it will affect the taste if you put it outside."

The Goryeo waved his hand and couldn't wait to get into the monk's room. When he came out again, he was already carrying five plump and fresh hemp fish strung with wicker sticks.

Yun Yan Hui stood aside and watched similar images appear again and again, showing a satisfied smile.

Zhao Yunchu on the side tugged at his arm, "Brother Yan, have you read it? I've seen a lot of people buying fish, it's time for you to take me to eat."

"Okay." Yun Yan Hui and the monk gave some orders, and then took Zhao Yunchu to the depths.

In addition to the sound of various sales, communication and evaluation of food, there is also a faint sound of music. It is the main stage that has been set up. The prostitutes are playing and singing over and over again. The most popular is the selected theme poems of this food festival, which is like a song. Just on the main stage, there are also some specially-made trophies displayed, ready to be presented to the winners of the food festival.

While walking, there are various food stalls on the left and right sides, which are divided according to the type of cuisine. There are too many people, so the stalls have to be blocked. Fortunately, each stall has a high flag with the name of the store or dish written on it, so that people can recognize it without getting close.

Yun Yanhui didn't know how many people came today. He only knew that a monk had come to report to him not long ago. There were too many people in the temple and it was already too crowded. As a result, Yun Yanhui made a decisive decision and ordered that no one should be let in from now on, but only allowed to go out.

The people outside are still protesting, why are they not allowed in.

The monks have to explain to them that there are too many people inside, please don't worry, there must be enough ingredients, as long as the people inside are full, they can go inside in batches. Let go.

The waiting people couldn't help stunned, how many people actually came?

——Of course, Tokyo alone has a population of nearly one million, and there are people in the surrounding counties who will also be radiated by publicity. This promotion is so well done, it is not surprising that more people come. However, there are so many people that it is necessary to limit the flow of people, which is still a rare situation, which is something to be proud of.

A batch of people came to Kaifeng to help maintain law and order. Fortunately, it was reported in advance that there would be a large-scale event.

This hot situation makes the people outside even more reluctant to leave, preferring to wait outside. Even if the people inside take a bite from a stall, they should be able to get out after a circle, and then it's their turn to go in, right?

Yun Yanhui also met Boss Hao, who was very hot. He laughed so hard that he lost his eyes. He just heard it after walking for a while. He praised the good-looking tableware and wanted to buy it. No less than dozens.

This sponsorship is really worth it. He couldn't help but hold Yun Yanhui's hand and praised Yun Yanhui for a long time. The event was well organized!

Yunyan said reservedly that this is because the tableware that burns well is indeed of good quality.

Yun Yanhui felt that the organizers, sponsors, contestants and the public were all happy after an event was held, which was the biggest gratification for the planners.

Zhao Yunchu next to him watched Boss Hao praise Yun Yanhui fiercely. Yun Yanhui was still talking politely to Boss Hao, and the stars in his eyes became more and more.

Why, why is there such a perfect person in the world as Yan Geer, who learns Buddhist scriptures well, does things well, and can hold such a big food festival if he likes to eat...

Yunyan watched Boss Hao walk away, only to think that Zhao Yunchu, who was next to him, had unknowingly hugged his arm and leaned his head on his shoulder.

"...What are you doing?" Yun Yan looked back at Zhao Yunchu with a black line on her face. Although she didn't want to do this, it seemed that only two words could describe the expression on Zhao Yuchu's face.

Zhao Yunchu blushed and said, "Brother Yan, you are amazing."

...Oh, the sweetness of silly Baitian seems to have doubled again today, she is like a girl, just don't hold her arm so hard.

Yun Yan back expressionlessly flicked his head on his forehead, "Do you still need to say what everyone knows? Let go of your hand."

"Ouch." Zhao Yunchu dropped his hand to cover his forehead, and looked at Yun Yan back pitifully.

Yun Yanhui walked forward unmoved, and said without looking back: "There is a cave with plum blossom buns from Wang Lou's house in front of me. I specially told them to leave a cage waiting for me." This is Bianliang nowadays. The most famous steamed buns are soup dumplings. They were also invited to participate in the food festival this time. With the popularity of their home and the flow of people today, they must be sold out as soon as they come out of the cage.

Zhao Yunchu likes to eat his steamed buns on weekdays. Hearing that Yan Ge'er was so careful, he jumped after him.
