Chapter 692: Full Banquet of Manchu and Han Dynasties
in the kitchen.
Xiang Yu helped Qin An wash the dishes and said, "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Qin An smiled and said, "Man and Han are all here."
"Man and Han banquet?" Xiang Liang looked at Qin An doubtfully.
Qin An looked at Xiang Liang's confused expression and knew that the other party didn't know what he said.
So he dissected the fish and said: "The Manchu-Han banquet is a giant banquet with strong national characteristics in China.
It has both the characteristics of palace cuisine and the essence of local flavor. The dishes are exquisite and the etiquette is exquisite, forming a striking and unique style.
The Manchu-Han banquet uses a wide range of materials, fine materials, and all kinds of delicacies.
The origin of the Manchu-Han banquet can be traced back to the last dynasty of China. The last dynasty was called the Qing Dynasty, also known as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because the rulers were Manchus. "
"What?" Xiang Liang said in shock, "In the end, the Han people were ruled by foreigners?"
Qin An sighed and said: "Although I really don't want to admit it, it is true. However, whether they are Manchus or Han people, they are all Chinese. There are fifty-six ethnic groups in China.
All ethnic groups help each other, and no one bullies anyone. The land of Baiyue and the land of the Western Regions that you think of, when added together, they become the current China, with a total of fifty-six ethnic groups.
Everyone says that China is actually not a country, but a civilization. Anyone who rules China will eventually become a nation of China, the 57th nation.
However, in ancient times, the Han people were the orthodox people of China, and people from other tribes were called aliens and barbarians.
I have no comment on this. Because this is already history. "
Xiang Liang nodded. Qin An is from the future. In the future, China will unify all ethnic groups. They, Enke, are called Chinese. Could it be that because the other party is not Han, they deny the other party's Chinese identity?
This is completely impossible, and although the Hu people and barbarians in history have invaded the Han people, that has become history.
Since history has passed, we can only learn from it.
"Sir, you are right. Let's continue discussing the Manchu-Han banquet. Just now, Mr. Xi said that the Man-Han banquet was handed down from the Qing Dynasty. It uses a wide range of materials and everything.
Sir, let me talk about this Manchu-Han banquet in detail. Xiang Liang changed the topic.
Qin An smiled and said: "Then let's talk about it. Since the Manchus have stabilized the country, as the emperor, I hope that the Manchus and Han people will be a family and not separate each other. Especially in the officialdom, I hope that the Manchus and Han people can be sincere. cooperate.
So some emperors held various banquets, hoping that Manchu and Han officials could sit together. This seat was meant to sit together.
The emperor wanted the officials to sit together and eat together regardless of each other.
As time went by and banquets were held frequently, it gradually developed into a feast that combined the essence of Manchu and Han dishes.
The Manchu and Han banquets were divided into six banquets, named after the famous banquets of the Qing Dynasty, namely the Mongolian vassal banquet, the courtiers' banquet, the Wanshou banquet, the Qiansou banquet, the Jiubai banquet and the festival banquet.
The banquet brought together many famous delicacies from the Manchu and Han Dynasties, selected seasonal fresh seafood, and searched for rare mountain and exotic animals. The Manchu-Han banquet not only reflects the fusion of Manchu and Han food cultures, but also demonstrates the exquisiteness and richness of Chinese cooking skills.
After the Republic of China, the Manchu and Han banquets were divided into big Manchu and small Manchu. Generally, the size of the big Manchu is 108 discs, and the size of the small Manhan is 64 discs.
Today, the Manchu-Han banquet has become a symbol, representing the treasure of Chinese culinary culture and showing the richness and diversity of Chinese cuisine. "
"Sir, can you do it?" Xiang Liang asked after swallowing.
Qin An shook his head and said, "No, with my cooking skills, I still want to make a Manchu-Han banquet. This is a state banquet with one hundred and eight dishes. Even the ingredients of some dishes have become protected animals and cannot be used for cooking at all."
"That gentleman just said that he would burn the whole banquet of Han Dynasty." Xiang Liang said.
"I meant to make a Manchu-Han banquet, but I only made a few of the dishes, not all of them." Qin An said with a smile.
"Excuse me sir, which ones do you want to do?
"
Qin An smiled and said, "The first dish is monkey brains."
"What? Monkey brain?" Xiang Liang exclaimed.
"Don't be so surprised, it's not a real monkey brain." Qin An said, "Monkeys are protected by the state, and killing them without authorization is illegal.
I am a good law-abiding citizen, how could I do something illegal? I am a fake monkey brain made from sheep brain, pig brain and tofu.
This is the production method I got from a movie. For this, I practiced for more than a month. Fortunately, I had a roommate to help me reimburse me, otherwise I would not have so much money to practice. "
"How does that taste?"
"It's delicious. Everyone says it's the most delicious food in the world. I think it's just like that. People who like it are delicious. People who don't like it will vomit just thinking about it." Qin An said.
"It's exactly what Mr. Xiang said. Each vegetable and radish has its own advantages. We can't think that something we don't like is not delicious." Xiang Liang said.
"That's exactly the truth." Qin An said, "And the second dish I cooked was fish.
It’s called Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate. The recipe is very simple, just make the carp look like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate and then pour the soup on it. "
"The third dish is lamb in sauce. It's easier to make and you don't have to cook it. You can have it at home."
"The fourth course is baked salt chicken, and the fifth course is sweet and sour pork."
"Sir, stop talking. If you keep talking, I will swallow my tongue into my stomach." Xiang Liang immediately interrupted Qin An.
Qin An smiled, and then began to cook various Manchu and Han banquets. They said they were Manchu and Han banquets, but in fact they were just home-cooked dishes, but making them yourself was completely incomparable to those of other people's five-star chefs.
No matter the shape, the taste is far different.
The same goes for Qin An. Although he can cook, he can't compare with other chefs. But in the village, Qin An is like a god of cooking.
Qin An cooked one delicious dish after another, and Xiang Liang took out one after each dish.
It's just that with this fake monkey brain, Qin An made it ten times, and Xiang Liang took him out, but there was still one step that he hadn't done yet, which was the oily monkey brain.
The movie says that real monkey brains don’t need to be cooked, they just need to be drizzled with hot oil.
That is the most correct way to eat monkey brain, and it was unanimously recognized by all the judges.
Moreover, the aroma of delicious food made everyone in the study put down their books and walked out of the study.
"smell good."
Ying Zheng was the first to walk out of the study. When he saw a table full of dishes, he immediately walked over and started to eat with his chopsticks.
"Village chief, sir, it will be ready soon, please wait a moment." Xiang Liang stopped him.
Qin An was the only one in the world who could make Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. Qin An had already said it, so everyone could only wait.
Not long after, everyone saw Qin An's pot of hot oil coming out.
