Bright moon, clear spring, roast chicken, fine wine and teachers and students.
Tonight, this wasteland should have been as ordinary as usual, but due to the arrival of Li Zexuan, Cheng Chumo, Sun Zifan and others, the place became lively and lively.
"Xiao Xuan, come here, let me propose a toast to you. I know you have put in a lot of effort for Yanhuang Academy, but we are still secretly arranging for you. We brothers haven't had a drink together like this for a long time~!"
Cheng Chumo's expression moved slightly, he raised a bamboo tube of fine wine, saluted Li Zexuan from afar, and said.
Li Zexuan was speechless. After a while, he sighed and said: "Okay! There are only friends and brothers here tonight, no teachers and students, so I will have a few drinks with you~!"
Ever since Li Zexuan entered the Imperial Academy, his relationships with Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Li Chengqian and others have changed somewhat. The relationship between friends and brothers has become mixed with some teacher-student moral principles, and there has been a sense of unreason between them. Sense of distance.
Cheng Chumo's words just now made him feel a lot in his heart. Although he was the principal of Yanhuang Academy, if he kept acting like the principal, it would be easy to ignore the friendship between brothers and friends. There was no need for him to be like Kong Yingda. He always maintains the attitude of "old scholar" to maintain his dignity among students.
He is who he is, he is only fifteen, only others imitate him, he does not need to imitate anyone.
"Haha~! Okay~! To be honest, although I am not a student of Yanhuang Academy, I used to feel depressed when I talked to you Xiaoxuan. That kind of feeling can only be felt when I talk to my father. It's rare that I can feel it again today. It’s really nice to have a drink and chat with Xiaoxuan as a friend~!”
Among the first group of people Li Zexuan met, Li Chengqian was one of them. Feeling the subtle changes in the atmosphere, Li Chengqian said with joy.
"Haha, Gao Ming is wrong. We are friends and brothers not just today, but for the rest of our lives! It's just that sometimes we have to keep things official because of our different positions~! Come on, drink~!"
Li Zexuan opened the wine jar and poured a bottle into his own bamboo tube, and the others followed suit. What he brought today was ice-cold Wenwenxiang. After all, the level of drunkenness of the gods was too high. If this group of people drank too much, they would probably not be able to get up tomorrow morning, and they would definitely be punished then!
"Hehe~! Xiaoxuan, since we are both good brothers, how about we exchange chickens~? Look, my chicken is bigger than yours! Do you want to exchange?"
After drinking the chilled wine, everyone couldn't help shouting happily. However, Li Tai, a smart little guy, took a fancy to the tantalizingly brown roast chicken in front of Li Zexuan. He couldn't help but lick his mouth. Hehe smiled.
How can good wine go without good meat~?
Li Zexuan was furious when he heard this. The little fat man's words were really ambiguous. What does it mean that my cock is bigger than yours? It's obvious that something is going on!
"Go away! Don't change! My chicken is ten times bigger than yours! If you want to eat delicious food, go do it yourself~! Do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing!"
Li Zexuan glanced at the little fat man and said with an angry expression.
Li Tai couldn't figure out why Li Zexuan was angry, but he also knew that changing the chicken was not an easy thing, so he could only do the next best thing and said: "Then Xiaoxuan, can you share some of the seasoning you brought with me?"
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. At first, Li Tai thought that the chicken he roasted was pretty good, but when Li Zexuan came, he immediately felt that the chicken in his hand was a little hard to swallow.
Li Zexuan nodded and threw the seasoning package casually. Everyone rushed to grab it. A quarter of an hour later, with the help of various seasonings, the chicken in everyone's hands exuded a burst of aroma. Compared with before, the taste was obvious. Improved by more than one level.
"Hmm~! It smells good! It smells so good~! It's been a long time since I've had such delicious roast chicken!"
There was no need for Li Zexuan to speak, Li Tai had already started eating without any image, followed closely by Sun Zifan, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and others.
Seeing the group of people in front of him as if they were reincarnated by starving ghosts, Li Zexuan shook his head, slowly tore off a piece of chicken leg, and began to taste it slowly.
The saltiness is moderate and the heat is just right, but the chili is missing, which makes it feel a little bit underwhelming! But because cumin is added during the barbecue process, the overall feeling is still very good.
After all, there is a saying in modern times:
"A skewer of barbecue without any chili pepper,
It was a tasteless piece of barbecue.
A skewer of grilled meat without cumin,
It's a soulless piece of barbecue. "
This shows how amazing cumin is as a condiment!
"Hmm~! I didn't expect that pouring some fennel on the chicken and roasting it in the fire would be so delicious! How did you come up with the idea, Xiaoxuan?"
Li Tai bit into a piece of chicken leg, his eyes lit up, and he immediately praised it.
The fennel in his mouth is cumin!
Cumin is native to North Africa and West Asia. According to archaeological discoveries in Syria, the use of cumin seeds can be traced back to the second millennium BC. The ancient Egyptians used cumin as a spice. When the pharaohs were buried, the ancient Egyptians needed to make mummies, and cumin also became an ingredient in the preservatives of the mummies.
"Anxi fennel" is an ancient Chinese name for cumin. From the word "Anxi", we can see where and when cumin was introduced to China. Sima Qian recorded in "Historical Records": "At the beginning, when the Han envoys came to An'an, the king of An'an ordered 20,000 horses to welcome him to the east border. The east border is thousands of miles away from the royal capital. After traveling to and from dozens of cities, the people were very close to each other. "There are many", "Dawan, Daxia, and Parthia are all large countries with many rare things and indigenous people. They are quite similar to China, but their troops are weak."
Therefore, it can be considered that cumin was introduced to China from the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty.
"Hmm, it's only today that I learned that adding cumin to meat can make it so fragrant! Xiaoxuan, you are so talented~!"
Since he was in the special training class, Cheng Chumo had eaten a lot of meat in the past two days, so he was not as "hungry" as Li Tai. However, after tasting the meat he grilled himself, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be surprised.
"Haha~! Actually, there is a missing seasoning here. If it were there, the chicken would definitely taste twice as delicious!"
Li Zexuan smiled lightly.
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he said, "What seasoning? I'll have someone search for it later~!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "We don't have this thing in the Tang Dynasty. If we want to get it, we can only go to the far west to find it. There are tens of thousands of miles of sea between us. I hope I can still eat it in my lifetime~! "
Everyone knew that Li Zexuan had an adventure when he was young, so they didn't ask how he knew that seasoning. Cheng Chumo pinched his chin and said with a smile: "Hey~! What are you afraid of? Our Tang Dynasty's fleet can now go to the small country in Nanyang. In the future, we will definitely be able to go to those places in the far west. Xiaoxuan, you can definitely eat again With that kind of seasoning!”
