If there are foodies, there must be good chefs who satisfy their wishes. Surprisingly, in the Tang Dynasty or later administrative and military circles, in addition to professional chefs, there were also a number of masters who were good at cooking.

During the Zhenyuan period in Tang Dezong, there was a general whose name did not go down in history, but his eating behavior was recorded. The general looks at everything in the world with the eyes of a gourmet. He thinks that nothing in the world is inedible, and everything he says is unpalatable.

He runs his own restaurant and everything can be used for cooking. The diversity of cooking materials is enough to make people feel uneasy: old cushions under saddles and used arrow pots can all be repaired and processed, making them delicious in the kitchen, quite delicious. It tastes delicious when repaired. I don't know if the general said ambitiously when eating saddle pads and arrow pots: Let the whole country eat saddle pads and arrow pots. It is said that the saddle pad at that time was called mud barrier, and there was an arrow pot, which was made of bearskin and deerskin, and it was definitely safer than gelatin. This is a delicious case from Youyang miscellaneous fish.

Risk warning: It seems that the practice of making saddle pads delicious has been lost. Car owners should not imitate, bring their own car mats to cook.

According to the North Dream, shortly after the demise of the Tang Dynasty, there was an official named Zhao in Sichuan who worked as a local official for several times. Zhao's adult is honest and clean, and he is an honest official. At the same time, the food is clean and beautiful. Yan Jie is a good drinker, especially good at making cakes. He is called Zhao Cake. He never hired a chef and cooked by himself. Of course, no one dares to go to his house to apply for a chef, because of his skill. There are fifteen helpers, all of whom are wearing narrow-sleeved overalls. Their clothes must be clean, and they are all wearing new clothes with narrow sleeves.

Adult Zhao is a dedicated gourmet. Even if there is only one guest at home, we need all kinds of dishes, and there is no shortage of delicacies, even the princes can't catch up.

Let's start with his pie. Each big cake needs three barrels of flour. I don't know if it is the effect of puffing. After the cake came out, it was as big as several rooms, even bigger than several rooms. It's big. How does it taste? It is said that when he holds a banquet in the palace and a banquet in the mansion, all his cakes will be bought, and hamburgers bigger than the room are piled up at the banquet. The effect is also happy enough, and guests will eat it piece by piece, full of praise.
