At this time, a plate of braised chicken with reed flowers was served. Yu Dou stopped the maid and asked, "What is this dish?"
"The chef said that this is a dish handed down from Shule, specially made for ladies and gentlemen to taste. I wonder how it tastes? " The servant girl reported back immediately.
"You call the chef. This dish tastes good. I wonder what is the knowledge of this dish? " Yu Dou put a piece of Lu Hua roast chicken in his mouth. The skin of the roast chicken was tender and smooth, and there was a lingering fragrance on his teeth.
In the dish, the chicken body is cut into pieces from the chicken rack, spread on the dish, placed in the shape of chicken wings, and the head and tail are placed before and after. How I want to be a chicken with wings spread and flying. It has a loud voice, golden color and attractive aroma, which makes people have an appetite.
Dou Xiaoyue put a piece of luhua roast chicken in her mother's bowl. "Mom, you eat, this chicken is delicious."
When the maid was about to leave, Dou smiled and said, "Don't call the chef, Dad, I'll explain the origin of the roast chicken with reed flowers. Shule Some people live by mountains and rivers. There are reeds in the water, full of bright reeds, and their flowers are fragrant and fragrant. Some people cut dead reeds for firewood, and women pick them back for flowers to wear, and the rest are put indoors, and the house is full of fragrance. In the dry season, there are no fish to catch, so men are not allowed to eat meat. When they were hunting pheasants in the nearby mountains, they walked across the water bank hungry, so they cut reeds for firewood and burned chickens with fire. Reed is full of flowers. Their flowers and reeds are on fire and taste like roast chicken. When men eat it, the chicken smells delicious, which is different from the usual reed grilled fish and roast chicken. Men don't understand. The man took the reed flowers home, gave the pheasant he hunted that day to the woman, and told her how to roast it. When the roast chicken is cooked, put the cut meat into a bowl, and the meat of Xian Yi, old and young, is fresh and delicious. The baking method spread to the villagers and then to the back door of the rich family house, which became an orthodox dish. " Dou read about the origin of roast chicken in Miscellaneous Notes on Folk Diet and explained it.
Dou Chenxiang and Mrs Dou are surprised that their daughter Xiaoyue knows so much about cooking. Mrs. Dou smiled and asked, "My daughter knows so much about cooking, but what does she know from books?"
"Mom, this Lu Hua roast chicken is recorded in detail in Miscellanies of People's Food. When I read this dish in the miscellaneous notes, I moved out the knowledge in the book. In addition, I often play with Xunzi Huan Zi and go to the market together. I have also heard about the practice and legend of this dish from the people, which is consistent with the records in the book. " Dou abortion, immediately replied.
"We are often in the capital, either participating in court proceedings, or communicating with officials, or writing letters to our families, leaving people's feelings behind. We seldom go to the streets and don't know these legends. I am good at observing, appreciating and understanding people's affairs, which is the blessing of the people. You can talk to your family about today when you enter the palace in the future. Although it is the situation in Shule country, I can't eat because of years of famine and facing the people. Entangled female ying and talented women in the holy land all day. He plays politics alone, but he doesn't let North Korean officials show the sufferings of the people. The holy land knows nothing about the sufferings of the people. Abortion is played in the holy land, and the whole people benefit. In the future, when a daughter enters the palace, she must tell the emperor more about the significance of people's famine, people's suffering, too heavy taxes and too strict criminal laws, so that the emperor will no longer indulge the concubines in the palace and take charge of the government for the benefit of the emperor. Chen Dou sighed and sighed, feeling the same pain for the people.
