Confucius has a unique self-baked dish that is not in contact with fire. For example, baked basket mandarin fish: after seasoning and shaping the processed mandarin fish, net the oil, wrap the cake, seal the fish tightly, put it on an iron hook, and bake it on both sides with charcoal fire. Its flavor is not lost, and its color is white and tender. The eater knows its taste, but he doesn't know its method. It was once a famous dish made by Confucius.
Roast duck, roast suckling pig and Confucius House are all listed as banquet dishes, which are called "red roasted dishes", meaning that the roasted dishes are ruddy and bright. Another kind of dishes in Confucius' house is "home cooking", from rice porridge, pancakes, pickles and tofu to bean sprouts, Toona sinensis, eggs and eggplant, which are common snacks from the people and have become unique dishes in Confucius' house through exquisite production by Confucius' chefs. The principle is "fine dishes are carefully prepared and fine dishes are fried with sugar". Therefore, Confucius' family dishes are also unique.
Bean sprouts, which remove buds and roots from bean sprouts, are fried quickly in clear oil, crisp and refreshing, and have been appreciated by Emperor Qianlong. Toona sinensis bud is also a common vegetable in spring in western Shandong. Confucius receives hundreds of kilograms of good Toona sinensis bud every year for one year.
In Confucius' home cooking, local products are often used to cook various dishes. There are only dozens of kinds of "shrimp" dishes, such as: Yudai shrimp, Yuqian shrimp, Emerald shrimp, Sanxian shrimp, pine nut shrimp, sufu shrimp and so on. Da pin Guo Cai
Big pot dishes. Eight kinds of fresh things are made into various shapes and fired, and they are named after the Eight Immortals who crossed the sea. This dish was the first dish of the banquet when several generations of Confucius celebrated their birthdays. After this dish was served, the festive banquet began, and it was a traditional dish of Confucius.
Braised Shark’s Fin in White Sauce
This is a main course of Confucius' shark fin big mat. The main ingredient is the precious whole wing with white jade ridge, and the shark's fin is cooked with white steak, which is smooth and delicious. Confucius banquet
The Confucius Banquet is a model of ancient banquets in China.
Confucius banquets pay attention to ceremonies. For example, since the Qing Dynasty, the first-class "Man-Han Banquet", also known as "Man-Han Banquet", was the standard of state banquets in the Qing Dynasty. A banquet requires 404 pieces of tableware, each of which is divided into two layers. The whole banquet will be served with 196 dishes, including Manchu whole lamb barbecue, Han camel's hoof, bear's paw, Hericium erinaceus, bird's nest, shark's fin, etc., as well as whole boxes, hot pots and soup pots. It takes ten people four whole days to finish the 196 course.
The second kind is banquets for birthdays, festivals and hospitality, and the dishes depend on the types of banquets. For example, the Confucius banquet for tourists is a second-class banquet.
Yizhi Confucius House
"Eating" is a major feature of Confucius. In the Qing Dynasty, the kitchen of Confucius could keep up with the imperial kitchens of the imperial palace. Confucius dishes were called official dishes, and Confucius banquets were as rich as those of the imperial palace. There are not only various types of banquets: birthday banquets, wedding banquets, family banquets, casual banquets, Manchu banquets, etc., but also various famous dishes in terms of food taste. There are also high, medium and low specifications, including all-banquet of Yan cuisine, shark's fin banquet, wishful banquet, all-banquet banquet, forty large bowls of banquet, three large pieces of banquet and ten large bowls of banquet. There are 404 pieces of tableware for the highest-grade Manchu-Han banquet, and the dishes should be served 196.
Confucius banquet not only pays attention to color, fragrance, taste and shape, but also adds a "utensil" and an "intention". "utensils" are not only delicious food but also beautiful utensils. The utensils for Confucius Banquet are all made to order. They are porcelain, gold, silver, copper and tin, and their shapes are square, round, ingot-shaped, gossip-shaped and cloud-like. The fish is in the shape of fish, and the duck is in the shape of duck. Anyway, the dish is deformed with the utensils. To say that "meaning" is beyond a few words. Many dishes in Confucius' House have added a lot of interest from this word "meaning".
According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty came to Qufu, and Confucius hosted a Manchu-Chinese banquet with 196 dishes. Before the banquet, Chinese lanterns hung high and red candles shone high, and Emperor Qianlong took his seat in the music played by drummers. The dishes are precious things such as bird's nest, shark's fin, sea cucumber, scallop, etc., and the names of the dishes are even more pleasant. For example, a hatched double phoenix, shrimp with royal belt, sea cucumber with bamboo shadow, a contemporary product, a fairy duck, a dragon lying in the snow, a plum blossom swept by snow, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, making arhats, etc., but Qianlong was tired of eating delicacies in Beijing, and all the dishes were served intact.
Duke Yansheng, who was waiting on the side, was very anxious, so he sent a message to the chef to find a way. The cook was puzzled and thought: he doesn't want to eat precious and famous dishes. What should he eat? After thinking for a while, it happened to be spring, so I sent someone to stroke a handful of apricot leaves back. The cook boiled the sugar, then put the apricot leaves in the sugar water, and let them cool. The outside was shiny, and the inside was bright green, which was very beautiful. It was named Liuli Apricot Leaves. After eating this dish, Ganlong thought it was delicious, and thought, What is the best dish of Confucius?
Since then, Duke Yansheng has finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the chef has a bottom in his heart, knowing that the emperor loves that bite. So they fried the bean sprouts with a few prickly ash, and Ganlong ate them and said they tasted good. After the emperor's mouth, bean sprouts were immediately worth a hundred times in the recipes of Confucius, not only for a big banquet, but also for a traditional dish of Confucius. So he removed the bean sprouts and fried them with Xiaoding tofu, named clove tofu. The chef also came up with a green bean sprouts dish called "Gold Hook and Silver Bar", which is to pinch off the petals and roots of green bean sprouts, fry the dried shrimps first, and then put the selected green bean sprouts on it. The dried shrimps are red and the green bean sprouts are silver. Such dishes are not available in the palace. Ganlong ate with relish, so it became a traditional dish of Confucius.
Erzhi Confucius House
Ganlong came to Qufu again and again, and the chefs of Duke Yansheng and Confucius really tried their best to come up with many tricks. There are two ginkgo trees in the Song Dynasty in front of the poetry hall of Confucius Temple. Although after nearly 800 years, the female ginkgo tree still bears a lot of fruits in spring and autumn, so we take ginkgo from the poetry hall, add honey and sugar to make a dish, and borrow the story recorded in the Analects of Confucius that Confucius taught his son to learn poetic rites, and named it "Poetry Ginkgo". The leaves on the tree can be made into the dishes that the emperor likes to eat. What about the crops in the field? After peeling the tender corn, it really looks like pearls. Needless to say, the corn kernels and cores are very fresh and tender. When it is used as soup to cook dried seaweed, it tastes particularly fragrant, so it has a nice name, called "Pearl Bamboo Shoots".
It is with these ordinary things that the chefs in Confucius' house have made valuable dishes that even the emperor likes. However, the stinky tofu and smoked tofu that Qianlong likes to eat are not the skills of Confucius chefs.
There are tofu households in Confucius. In Shuyuan Village next to Qufu City, there is a family named Han, and the two brothers live apart. They are all tofu households in Confucius' house. Boss Han sends tofu to Confucius' house every day, and then sells it, earning some tofu dregs to eat with vegetables. One year, it was hot and rainy in the dog days of June. After the tofu was prepared, it could not be sold except for being sent to Confucius' House. In the past, the poor could not afford to eat tofu, so they had to cut it and marinate it in a salt water basin.
Who knows that it hasn't stopped raining for seven or eight days in a row, and tofu has grown hair. The place near the salt water is red, and the place without salt water is gray. According to the man's meaning, she threw it away, but the woman couldn't bear to part with it. She picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it. The salty stains were good. I rolled it with pancakes and ate it. Children want to eat when they see their mother, and men have tasted it. Ha! Smells bad and tastes good. Later, with pepper and aniseed, it tasted good. When the man sent tofu to Confucius' house, he took a piece with him and said, "Give grandpa some side dishes to try." Duke Yansheng said at the beginning that stinky food was inedible, and he took it all at once.
Qianlong had just had a Manchu banquet in Confucius House. Duke Yansheng brought a small piece of stinky tofu with an emerald plate and said, "This stinky tofu looks ugly and tastes delicious." When Qianlong saw it, he felt very uncomfortable and tried it with chopsticks. Wow! It tastes really good. Ganlong said happily, "Give me your tofu farmer." When Ganlong returned to Beijing, he really took this tofu household away. Since then, Beijing has also had stinky tofu.
Two brothers, the elder brother entered Beijing because he got stinky tofu, and the second son of the Korean family met with three days and even cloudy days this year, and the tofu he made was not sold. The second son cut it and put it on the grate to dry. When the fire was on, he was not prepared to burn the grate, and some of the tofu on it burned and some smoked yellow. The second child can't be thrown away completely, and the smoked yellow one is boiled in salt water. When it is eaten, it tastes unusual. It is given to Duke Yansheng to taste. Duke Yansheng feels good, and it is boiled with cinnamon and cinnamon. The taste is really unspeakable.
Sanzhi Confucius House
Ganlong came to Qufu again, and Confucius gave a tofu feast. In other words, the banquet is all made of tofu. There is a product of tofu, clove tofu, steamed tofu, chicken soup tofu, hibiscus tofu, lotus tofu, smoked tofu ... Qianlong is particularly interested in smoked tofu, eating delicious food, and before he left, he brought Han's second child, a tofu household, into Beijing.
On another occasion, Qianlong ate a dish of fried radish in Confucius' House and thought it was delicious. He ordered it again the second time. After returning to Beijing, I still want to eat this dish and ask the chef to cook it. But after a good taste, Qianlong frowned and said, "The fried radish eaten in Confucius' House is pear-flavored. Why didn't you fry it that way!" In a rage, he drove the chef out of the palace. He also asked a chef to fry it, dried it and ate it, but it didn't smell like that, and he was also driven out of the palace. Several people were driven away one after another, and the chef was scared. One of them said with great ingenuity, "I think we have to go to Confucius' house to learn skills!" The chefs all said good ideas. So the two chefs came to Confucius' House, wrote a disciple's note and went to Confucius' House to recognize the teacher. When I got to the door of Confucius' house, I was blocked by the doorman. Asked, "Did you bring it?" Two chefs said, "I brought the post. I'm here to learn from your chef." Please inform me. " The doorman said, "Eighty-two percent have never been here before, have they?" The two chefs said, "It's the first time to come back." The doorman said, "No wonder. If you want to see the master in my kitchen, do you know the rules of my family?" "What rules?" "To gift three hundred and twenty, small gift two hundred and forty. See it if you have it, don't see it if you don't. " The two chefs had to spend money to go in and recognize the chef of Confucius as a master. Really: if you don't know, you won't do it. The way to stir-fry radish dishes is: first cut the radish into shreds, soak it in boiling water, then soak it in cold water to remove the radish flavor, and add pear juice when frying, and the fried radish is pear flavor. Without a teacher, you don't grow a skill. When the two chefs returned to Beijing, they fried the turnip dish according to the method they had learned, and Ganlong ate it with relish and beamed.
