Under the night, the cold wind is miserable.
However, the lights in Lin Feng's house were brightly lit. Especially the kitchen area was illuminated by firelight, and the cooks responsible for cooking and cooking were busy non-stop. After all, Lin Feng was entertaining guests tonight, so the dishes prepared were sumptuous.
Lin Feng inspected the kitchen and checked many dishes before he felt at ease. In the past, when Wang Tang and Ying Jiuxiao came to Yongning County, there was almost no pork at that time, only one pig's trotter.
Now that the castrated piglets have grown up, they have begun to supply pork.
Therefore, there is more food.
Lin Feng walked around in a circle and returned to the dining room. There was still a relatively large Eight Immortals table.
This is what the Lin family uses for meals.
No one had arrived yet, so Lin Feng waited quietly. Not long after, Gao Xiaoyu hurried in and reported: "Young master, the prince and Ying Gong are all here."
Lin Feng stood up and went to greet him. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard door of the dining hall, he saw the attendants coming with people. Lin Feng smiled and said: "Ying Gong, Wang Gong, please!"
"please!"
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and nodded.
He and Wang Tang walked forward, followed by Lin Feng and Wang Yue, and the group went straight to the dining room.
The four of them sat down directly.
Lin Feng ordered the waiter to serve the dishes. After a while, the first dish served was braised pork elbow.
For this dish, the front part of the pork elbow is blanched, dried, then painted with soy sauce, then deep-fried to make the skin of the pork elbow wrinkle, and then cooked with soy sauce, salt, green onions, old ginger slices and stock. Cooking and steaming make the whole pork knuckle soft and delicious.
Finally, pick up the pork knuckle, thicken the soup and pour the soup over the pork knuckle.
The production process actually depends on the heat, seasonings, etc., and is very complicated. After this series of procedures, the flavor is extremely rich.
The braised pork elbow is placed on the table, and the rich aroma is already filling the air.
Lin Feng prepared Wang Zha from the beginning, because this kind of pork knuckle is the favorite of old people like Jiuxiao and Wang Tang. It is fat but not greasy, and extremely soft.
Lin Feng said: "Ying Gong, Wang Gong, this dish is called Braised Pork Knuckle. It is made from pork knuckle. Give it a try."
This time Ying Jiuxiao used the chopsticks directly.
He picked up a piece of pig skin and put it into his mouth. The soft and unique fat but not greasy feeling, as well as the secret meat aroma, spread from his mouth, making Ying Jiuxiao's eyes shine.
Wang Tang also ate a piece, his mouth was filled with oil, and he felt comfortable all over.
This taste is amazing!
Ying Jiuxiao took two more bites in a row, looked at Lin Feng, and praised: "Mr. Lin, you are hiding your clumsiness. Our cook did not learn this dish before."
Wang Tang also answered hurriedly.
Both of them felt that it tasted amazing and was more in line with their appetites.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Ying Gong, Wang Gong, this is a pig I have re-cultivated. The pork can only be made without the smell of mutton. So today is a whole pig feast, all meat from pigs."
"Look, another dish is coming."
Lin Feng watched the attendants enter. Dishes were placed on the table one after another, including salted braised pork, steamed pork with vermicelli, bean paste pork, and twice-cooked pork, as well as a small amount of shredded fungus pork and braised pork sausage. They were all home-cooked dishes.
Although these dishes are not as good as the delicacies from the mountains and seas, the roasted pork belly and steamed pork with rice flour are irreplaceable. For Ying Jiuxiao, it was a delicious food that he had never tasted before.
Especially the fat feeling is far from being replaced by mutton.
Ying Jiuxiao's mouth was full of oil after eating, and it took a while before he slowed down.
The same is true for Wang Tang and Wang Yue.
The three of them looked at Lin Feng while eating, with regret in their eyes, regretting that they were late for dinner. They ate it last time in Yongning County and felt comfortable at the time, but after the chef learned it, there weren't many fresh dishes.
Now, there is again.
After Ying Jiuxiao ate for a while, he frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Lin, it's really bland with dishes but no wine. Although the dishes are all delicious, without the wine, they are far inferior."
Wang Tang echoed: "Yes, yes, what Zhenbei Hou said is true. I felt that something was missing just now. After mentioning it, I realized that it is really boring and tasteless without wine!"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Of course there is good wine. Come and serve the wine."
With a command, the attendant entered with a jar of wine.
This is a specialized clay pot jar.
This wine was purified and distilled by Lin Feng from ordinary wine, with a concentration of over 50 degrees. It's just that the freshly distilled wine tastes too strong and the aroma is not rich enough. Now that it has been left for a long time, the taste becomes pure and rich.
Lin Feng did not use a wine bottle, but directly placed a wine bowl in front of everyone. He opened the wine jar, and immediately a strong aroma of wine wafted out from the wine jar.
"Hey, this wine is extraordinary."
Ying Jiuxiao has always been a good drinker.
His breath was twitching, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Lin Feng took the lead in pouring a bowl of wine for Ying Jiuxiao. As soon as the wine was poured out, the wine was clear and bright without any turbidity. In fact, the rich aroma of wine wafted out, and the fragrance was mellow.
Lin Feng poured more wine for Wang Tang, Wang Yue and himself, and then said: "Although today's dishes are good, they are not the real ones. This wine is what I want to mention, it is the most important."
"However, this wine is extremely strong, far from being comparable to ordinary drinks. It is easy to get drunk if you drink it in large sips. Drink it in small sips."
"Come on, give it a try."
Lin Feng took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and took a sip.
The wine enters the throat, and the aroma of the wine fills the air.
Ying Jiuxiao also took a sip, feeling the taste of the wine, and couldn't help but take another sip. This bite was bigger and more intense, so much so that he couldn't help but hiss, but his eyes narrowed with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Good wine, really good wine."
"When I was young, I went to the Xia Kingdom. The wines in the Xia Kingdom are better than those in Great Qin. But the old wines in the Xia Kingdom are still far behind compared to this kind of wine."
"This is the real wine."
Ying Jiuxiao praised him without hesitation.
He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes even more approving. His grandson-in-law was simply a treasure. Little by little he was unearthed, and little by little more was revealed.
Wang Tang also came back to his senses. He looked at Lin Feng and said solemnly: "This wine is indeed a peerless wine. I am knowledgeable. I have drank Thyme from the Southern Jin Dynasty, Chaotian He from the Xia Kingdom, and The Nine Flames of Beiyuan.”
“Drinks from every country have their own characteristics.”
"But compared to the wine in front of me, Thyme, Chaotianhe, and Jiuzhongyan are really inferior. In terms of intensity, it far exceeds the Jiuzhongyan of the Yan Kingdom in the Northern Plains; in terms of fragrance, it surpasses the thyme of the Southern Jin Dynasty; in terms of aftertaste, it far surpasses the thyme of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Congratulations to the sky from Xia Kingdom."
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
Having said this, Wang Tang said seriously: "Once such a drink is sold in the market, it will definitely become popular all over the world. Even the whole world will be amazed by it."
"Unfortunately, I estimate that the brewing of this wine consumes a lot of food and is far more difficult than brewing today."
"Our Daqin has a weak foundation and insufficient food to support such wine-making. Originally, the people of the Qin Dynasty suppressed wine-making and did not encourage large-scale wine-making. After all, wine consumes food."
"If it is released, I'm afraid more food will be consumed."
Wang Tang looked regretful and said: "It is a pity that such a fine wine cannot be brewed on a large scale. It is such a pity in life!"
After Ying Jiuxiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He looked regretful and said, "It's a pity. But it's okay to make a small amount of wine. It can also satisfy your craving."
Lin Feng listened to Wang Tang and Ying Jiuxiao's words, shook his head and chuckled: "Ying Gong, Wang Gong, you are wrong. I plan to brew this wine on a large scale and then sell it. This is what I am going to ask you for today. The purpose of coming here is what we want to talk about tonight.”
"This wine will become one of the financial pillars of Da Qin in the future."
Lin Feng spoke loudly.
