Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1725

Guo Ye said in disdain: "What is the secret that is not passed on? But you, the Wang family in Taiyuan, cherish your broom!"

After the success or failure of the king, people turned their hopeful eyes to Lu Jinhua!

Lu Jinhua smiled slightly, and said, "Qin Guogong, you must have never seen this thing before me!"

Seeing what the waiter brought up, Guo Ye couldn't help but turn pale with fright!

Chapter 1559

Guo Ye looked embarrassed, and said, "This thing... I really don't know what it's called."

With the failures of Longxi Li's and Taiyuan Wang's, Lu Jinhua's victory this time was even more precious. He stood up, smiled, and said generously: "It's not surprising that Duke Qin didn't know this thing. I think there was a The tomb robber was caught by our family, Fan Yang Lu. He stole an ancient tomb in the Han Dynasty, and the thing he brought out contained the seeds of this thing. After this thing grew up, I, Fan Yang Lu, searched through ancient books and found out about this thing history."

Cui Shaoze looked at the red fruit in front of him, and said, "Could it be that this is the legendary..."

Guo Ye coughed, interrupted Cui Shaoze, and said, "I just don't know what you call this thing, but I'm very familiar with it, everyone, don't misunderstand it!"

Lu Jinhua said: "Today, our five noble families specially brought out some novelty items to entertain Lord Qin. Whether Qin recognizes it or not, it's all part of our five noble families' wishes. Come, let's taste it together."

Cui Shaoze also said: "Brother Lu is right. In fact, it is a great thing for Duke Qin to know Lizhi. Even if he doesn't know you, it is a long-term affection. It is not surprising, not surprising!"

Li Leyong laughed, and said: "If you want me to say, I still have to blame you, Fan Yang Lu's roots are too deep, and the background is too thick. How can Duke Qin guess if you bring this kind of thing out? This kind of strange thing, even the old man Never seen before!"

……

……

These old foxes sang together, believing that Guo Ye didn't know this thing at all, and what he said just now was completely swollen face to pretend to be fat, pretending to understand if he doesn't understand!

Guo Ye was so angry, he thought to himself, isn't this just a tomato?What's there to brag about.Your brother Guo has eaten more tomatoes than you have ever seen!

When I saw a tomato just now, my face changed color. It wasn't because I didn't know what it was, but because it seemed that it was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty. Why is it now?Ancient tombs of the Western Han Dynasty... Isn't tomato native to America, we had it in China in the Western Han Dynasty?

He said: "Patriarch Lu, what I just said below is not a lie. I know this thing, Guo Ye, and generally call him a tomato or a tomato. It's just that I don't know what everyone calls this thing, so I don't know the name of this thing." If you don't believe me, you might as well listen to me and talk about the physical properties of this thing."

Cui Shaoze snorted lightly, and said, "Duke Qin, with such a high status, you can't just talk about it! What kind of tomato? What kind of tomato? Cui has never heard of it. This thing has existed since ancient times, and it is clearly recorded in historical books. This is the legendary Zhu Guo Ah!" Turning around, Cui Shao asked Lu Jinhua: "Brother Lu, is my guess right?"

"That's right, our Fan Yang Lu family also thinks that this is the legendary Zhu Guo!"

Guo Ye said slightly: "Red fruit? It blooms once every 5000 years and bears fruit once every 5000 years, so it is called the vermilion fruit of ten thousand years. Don't tell me that you have grown this thing for 1 years. Tomatoes , Planted in spring, harvested in summer, just a few months.”

"This... the classics of the ancients may be exaggerated!"

"Exaggeration? According to the legend, eating vermilion fruit can prolong life and make you immortal. Since you, Fan Yang Lu, have vermilion fruit in your hands, who can live forever? Take ten thousand steps back and say, can someone live a hundred years? That's it. It can’t be covered up by simple exaggeration in ancient books! Vermillion fruit and tomato are not the same thing at all!”

Lu Jinhua blushed from Guo Ye's words, and said, "Even if this thing is not vermilion fruit, it is definitely not a tomato. In which book is the name tomato recorded?"

"Patriarch Lu, please be calm and don't be impatient. Listen to me. It is true that the name of this thing is not recorded in ancient books, but this is not inconsistent with my understanding of this thing. Let me ask you, does this thing taste slightly sour? "

"Uh...you guessed it right!"

"Guess what, I already knew it. Let me ask you again, is this thing green when it first bears fruit, and turns red when it matures?"

"Indeed!"

"Can this thing be eaten raw or cooked?"

"This... we, Fan Yang Lu's, eat it raw, can this thing be cooked?"

Guo Ye said: "That's natural. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a good dish, hasn't Master Lu ever eaten it?"

Lu Jinhua felt even more ashamed, and said, "I'm so ignorant!"

"It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten, come here..." Guo Ye stretched out his hand, and a guy came forward and said: "You take this fruit and fry it with eggs, and improve the food for all the old men!"

The waiter showed embarrassment, and said: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, you said it simply, such a rare thing, our master chef in the kitchen dare not touch it! Besides, when your upper lip touches your lower lip, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Neither will we!"

Unexpectedly, these days, scrambled eggs with tomatoes have become a high-tech!

Guo Ye's dignified Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Guogong, of course can't roll up his arms and sleeves at this time, and cook by himself, that would be too disrespectful.He sighed and said, "Dude, get a pen and paper!"

The Four Treasures of the Study are readily available. Guo Ye wrote down the recipe of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.This dish is the simplest home-cooked dish, and it is difficult to make it well, so there is no need to worry about the craftsmanship of the master chef.

After a while, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was served. Guo Ye said, "Try it, everyone. How does scrambled eggs with tomatoes taste?"

While talking, Guo Ye had already twisted his chopsticks, tasted it, and said: "The chef's craftsmanship is good, and the taste is not bad. It's just that there is less salt."

The five old men are all high-ranking and powerful people. They have played and eaten all kinds of delicious things in the world.But I have never eaten scrambled eggs with tomatoes. After I finished eating, I was full of praise!

"This dish is full of color, fragrance and taste, it is really delicious in the world!"

"Unexpectedly, Qin Guogong has such a research on food and drink. The little old man admires it!"

"I'm ashamed to say that we, Fan Yang and Lu family, always thought that this thing is vermilion fruit, and it's better to eat it raw. I didn't expect this thing to be fried with eggs, which is the right place."

……

……

After they finished bragging, Guo Yecai said: "Tomato is a common vegetable. You old people think it's good for the first time. If you eat a lot, you won't find it novel. In fact, tomatoes can not only scramble eggs, but also stew beef brisket with tomatoes. , Stir-fried tofu with tomatoes, the taste is also good, you can try it when you go back!"

What was supposed to be a nice act of showing off turned into a slap in the face. The old men were a little embarrassed, and they lost confidence in the upcoming show.

Lu Jinhua poked Cui Shaoze and said, "It's your Boling Cui family's turn!"

Cui Shaoze couldn't evade it, and as soon as he beckoned, the waiter brought over the things Boling Cui had prepared.Now he didn't dare to pretend anymore, and said, "Duke Qin recognizes this... Kunlun purple melon?"

"Kunlun Purple Melon?" It sounded like a high-end name, but after Guo Ye took a closer look, he was still disappointed and said, "Eggplant?"

Cui Shaoze was already mentally prepared for this, and said: "There is indeed someone calling this eggplant, Duke Qin is right! But there is one thing I still need to ask Duke Qin for advice!"

"What else do you want to test me on?"

Cui Shaoze said: "Grassmen don't dare! Just now you fried tomatoes and eggs together, which opened my eyes. I also like to eat and drink together. I just want to ask, is there any other way to cook Kunlun purple melon besides the usual way?" ?”

"How do you usually eat eggplant?"

"Of course it is simmered, and then dipped in sauce!"

Guo Ye said contemptuously, "Is that delicious?"

“It’s not bad to eat once in a while!”

"Let me teach you, the trick to making eggplant is to use oil. It can be fried directly or fried. There are too many dishes that can be made, such as fish-flavored eggplant, chrysanthemum eggplant, and minced meat eggplant ...Wait, there are too many to count!"

Guo Ye knew how to make eggplants easily, and the five old men all knew that they couldn't get along in terms of diet today.They originally thought that Guo Ye's ancestors were farmers, and he had only come to a high position in recent years, so he must have insufficient background, and he was a real bumpkin.Take out a few novelty things, it will definitely shock him!

However, Guo Ye is a time traveler, and their plots have all failed!All kinds of rare ingredients in ancient times are nothing but common things in modern society.
