Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

Before that, Su Yan also asked the literary giants in the red envelope group what convenient food is suitable for bringing into the examination room.

Su Yan didn't have much hope at first. After all, there was no vacuum preservation technology in ancient times, and it was a hot summer day, so most of the food was not preserved for a long time.

Su Yan: Big brothers, is there any convenient dry food suitable for bringing into the examination room?

Su Yan: It should be easy to store, it can be stored for three days.

Su Yan: It would be great if it tastes good.

Su Yan: Secret Observation.jpg

Su Shi: emmmmm

Su Shi: Let me think about it.

Su Shi: Touch Your Chin.jpg

Cao Zhi: When you ask me that, I think of someone.

Cao Zhi: Even though I have a different political stand from him, I have to praise him for his resourcefulness and cleverness.

Su Shi: I know!

Li Bai: Bai also!

Du Fu: Three visits frequently trouble the world's schemes, and the two dynasties help the old ministers.He died before leaving the teacher, which made the hero burst into tears.

Du Fu: Prime Minister Gao Yi!

Cao Zhi: Hehe.jpg

Cao Zhi: At that time, Zhuge Kongming ordered the cook to use rice noodles as skins, wrap the meat of black cattle and white sheep inside, mold them into the shape of human heads, and sprinkle wine to sacrifice to the river.Later folks called it "Mantou", also known as "Steamed Bun".

Su Yan: So the source of the steamed buns...is so!

Su Yan: Dumbfounded.jpg

Cao Zhi: There is one more thing related to him.It is rumored that he sent a letter to Yunchang, the public officer of Meiran, ordering him to "use dry noodles, soak in less water, and hard lumps, cook them in a kang, eat the best food, pay soldiers, and stabilize the morale of the army." It is called "pot helmet".

Li Bai: I have also tasted this pot helmet. It is shaped like a chrysanthemum and has a uniform color, and its skin is as thin as paper.

Du Fu: I have also tasted this product. It has a strong aroma and delicious taste.

Su Yan: Guokui!The Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi!

Su Yan suddenly remembered that when he traveled to Shaanxi in his previous life, he had indeed eaten it at the snack street. In his impression, it was a kind of crispy and delicious pancake. It was thin and thick and tasted good, and it was easy to store.

This can be!

Li Bai: I also think of a convenient and quick delicacy called "踅面".

Li Bai: The noodles are strong and mellow, and then mixed with spicy oil, it tastes rich in oil and has a long spicy taste.

Li Bai: When I was in a snack shop, I ate while watching the shop make.It is roughly made by mixing buckwheat and wheat into flour, then adding water and stirring evenly, pasting and spreading the noodles, and finally drying and cooling them, and then cutting them into filaments of equal width and thickness.

Li Bai: I heard from the store that the noodle can last for three to five days.

Su Yan:! ! !

Su Yan: Isn't this the ancient instant noodles!

It's so good!

Cao Zhi: Instant noodles?

Cao Zhi: This name is good, easy to understand.

Su Shi: This is quite like a sanzi.

Su Shi: I also wrote a poem to praise "the slender hands are rubbed into jade, and the green oil is fried to make a deep yellow. The night comes and the spring sleeps without weight, and the weight of the beautiful woman is wrapped around the arms of gold."

Su Yan: Sanzi?what is this?

Su Shi: This is a ring-shaped pasta made by rubbing noodles with oil and water. It is a fast food during the Cold Food Festival, and it is also called "cold utensils".

Su Yan: Take it, take it!

Du Fu: Speaking of Sanzi, I have heard that there is a one-sided dish in Suzhou called "two-faced yellow". The noodles are also fried until golden on both sides.

Su Yan: Take a notebook and write it down.jpg

Cao Zhi: Brother Yan can also prepare some crispy cheese and fruit cheese. In those days, my house always had some such snacks.

Su Yan: The chicken pecks at the rice and nods.jpg

Su Yan: Thank you guys!After Chef Feng is ready, share the seller's show with you!

Of course, Su Yan told Chef Feng all the recipes provided by the famous writers, and asked him to make various attempts based on his own cooking experience.

Over the years, Chef Feng has obtained a lot of recipes from Su Yan, and he often marvels at the young master's flexible brain, feeling that he is really a little glutton, if he doesn't take the road of imperial examination, he might be able to become a chef.

Su Yan could only wave his hands guiltily: "It's all from books."

Chef Feng has long been actively preparing for Su Yan's dry food trial. In addition to the most common dried sweet potatoes, beef jerky, and egg pancakes, he also tried various convenient and quick foods provided by Su Yan.

In order to facilitate the examination of the hospital, the food should not be solid or bulky.

With this in mind, Chef Feng has also crafted a variety of flakes.

There are fragrant and crispy dry fried steamed buns coated with egg liquid and sugar liquid.

There are cloud cake slices that are white in color, sweet and soft, and will not harden for a long time.

There are also glutinous rice cakes with fine and flexible texture, white and crystal beauty, smooth and sweet taste.

Chef Feng also innovatively grinds red beans, mung beans, barley, almonds, lotus seeds, etc. into powder, which can be brewed with boiling water and eaten immediately.

The most amazing thing is that Chef Feng made the bean paste!

Su Yan tasted the bright red bean paste, and ate another small bowl of noodles with it!

Woohoo, it's so fragrant, delicious and delicious!

Su Yan was madly blowing rainbow farts to Chef Feng.

The food for the lower courtyard test is here!

*****

Of course, not everyone has Su Yan's family background and a caring and skilled chef Feng.

Some poor candidates can only spend the night in a ruined temple outside Yangzhou City, and have to find ways to save some food every day.

However, at this time of year, there are some inn owners who will symbolically help some poor candidates. First, they will give their inn a good reputation. some pen and ink.

Among them is the owner of Liufu Inn.

But the owner of Liufu Inn is really kind.The store started from scratch in the early years. It is said that it was guided by a certain scholar who had not passed the examination of scholar at that time, and the business became better and better.The shopkeeper is very grateful for this, but he doesn't know what will happen to the scholar after his birthday, so he has no way to repay his kindness, so he will provide convenience for some poor candidates every time he takes the hospital examination.

The store specially packed out some rooms to provide the candidates with accommodation, and each person charged a symbolic amount of dozens of cash.Although four people live in one room, it is better than living in a ruined temple outside Yangzhou city.

What's more, the store has instructed the kitchen staff to provide food for candidates if they go to find some food.

At this time, there was a candidate named Zhang Xinsi. He stayed in the room and reviewed the whole day with trepidation. He relaxed after reciting the last paragraph. He suddenly felt hungry and was going to the back kitchen to get some food to fill his stomach.

It was not meal time at this time, and there was only one aunt in the back kitchen who was packing things and burning firewood.

When the aunt saw Zhang Xinsi's attire, she knew that this was a candidate taken in by her kind employer, and she was about to get up and bring him the porridge and pancakes that were left on the stove.

The aunt was sitting on the small wooden bench next to the stove, and was about to stuff the piece of paper she just held into the stove as firewood.

Zhang Xinsi was dizzy from reciting the book, and his eyes were staring straight.At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the piece of paper in the aunt's hand, and his mind suddenly came to his senses.

This is the best Chengxintang paper, the paper is fine and smooth, white as jade, without leaving any ink, although it has been soaked by the sewage from the food, the handwriting on it has not faded.

Zhang Xinsi once saw a set of Four Books and Five Classics transcribed on Chengxintang paper in the bookstore, which was spread out in a very eye-catching place in the bookstore.

As soon as he entered the bookstore, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the thin, smooth white paper.However, he wanted to reach out to read more, but was stopped by the bookstore's buddy.

How could this precious Chengxintang paper appear in a place like the back kitchen?

Zhang Xinsi looked at the firewood-burning aunt, and saw that she was dressed in coarse gray clothes, with gray hair, no jewelry on her head, just tied with cloth strips, wrinkles on her face and hands, she looked like an illiterate handyman servant.

But now is not the time to explore that.

Zhang Xinsi quickly stepped forward to stop the aunt from stuffing the Chengxintang paper into the stove.

Just a little bit!The tongue of fire almost licked it!

Seeing that Chengxintang Paper was saved, Zhang Xinsi heaved a sigh of relief, and then slowly put down his raised heart.

"Hey, ma'am, wait a minute! Don't burn it! If you just use this paper as firewood, why don't you give it to me?" Zhang Xinsi couldn't help but blush when he saw his aunt looking at him puzzled, and hurriedly explained.

"Okay! It's just a piece of waste paper. I can't read, so I can only use it as firewood." The aunt happily handed the paper to him.

Zhang Xinsi took the Chengxintang paper, which still exuded a faint sour smell of food. He frowned impatiently when he smelled the smell, and glanced at it. It seemed to be a question?

By this time his stomach was already growling with hunger.As soon as the voice came out, Zhang Xinsi blushed.

"Hehe" the aunt smiled, and brought him the porridge and pancakes prepared on the stove, "Hurry up and fill your stomach, there is still more."

At this time, Zhang Xinsi couldn't look carefully at the contents of the Chengxintang paper, so he hurriedly folded the Chengxintang paper and put it in his sleeve.

He took the porridge and pancakes from the aunt, thanked him, and didn't plan to take them back to the house to eat, so he quickly settled them here.

After wolfing down the plain porridge and finishing off a few pancakes, Zhang Xinsi felt relieved in his stomach.

He was just about to go back to the house, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Ma'am, do you know where you got that piece of paper just now?"

The aunt who was lighting the fire didn't react for a while when she heard his question, so she asked in confusion, "What paper?"

"No, it's nothing." Seeing this, Zhang Xinsi didn't want to ask any more questions, so he hurried out of the back kitchen.

There is a yard across from the back kitchen to the main building of the inn, drying the bedding and other things of the inn, and some waiters from the Liufu Inn are sitting on the long wooden benches at the edge of the yard, chatting and resting.

Zhang Xinsi glanced at the waitresses in waiter clothes, and felt a sense of superiority involuntarily.These chatty people can only be waiters for the rest of their lives, but I am about to become a scholar.

With a haughty expression on his face, he walked briskly, keeping his eyes straight when he passed these waiters, his back straightened even more, and his dark blue robe, which had been washed white and wrinkled, followed his Shaking in motion.
