Chapter 26 Zaun Horse Hunter?(2/2)
After La entered the hall, he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his hands and said respectfully.
"Hehe... General La doesn't have to be too polite."
Zhao Zheng chuckled and raised his hand slightly to show his body flat.
"I will thank Your Highness for the last time!"
Ladiao gave in full of energy to thank him, and then gave up the servants who followed him and quickly said to His Highness and General He.
"Your Highness, General, this is the Western Region spice that the General specially brought from his mansion - Ku Ming!"
"Oh? Then let me see it."
Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he waved his hand to express his hand to present the object in front of him quickly.
The servant immediately understood and quickly presented the Western Region spices presented in the pottery bowl to His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
"this……"
When Zhao Zheng saw the familiar color and the fragrance that was thrilling, he was overjoyed. He couldn't help but stretch out his finger to stain it a little, and then put it into his mouth and savor it carefully...
"Well... this thing is very good! This thing is very good!"
Zhao Zheng nodded happily, sure enough!
Sure enough, this is the indispensable seasoning and spice in later generations - cumin!!
"Since your Highness likes it, I will send you more people!"
When Ladiao saw that His Highness the King of Qin was very fond of his favor, he immediately looked happy and couldn't help but say repeatedly.
"Hahaha! Good!"
Zhao Zheng nodded immediately and claimed good!
But just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but turn his head and smiled at the two generals in the hall.
"By the way... I was very happy to get this strange thing and wanted to hold a barbecue feast in this general's mansion!"
Zhao Zheng suddenly paused as he spoke, and then continued to laugh.
"But I don't know if the two generals... are you interested in participating in one or two?"
Why? Ladiao looked at each other in an instant. He was stunned at first, then came to his senses and couldn't help laughing!
"Hahahaha! Your Highness personally invites you, and you will be honored! How can you refuse!"
After saying that, the already delicious wax sauce turned red with excitement, and he shouted to the outside world on the spot!
"Come on! Go quickly to the outside world! Come back with some wild game!!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zheng had already stopped him before the personal guards outside the hall responded.
"Hey! This is inappropriate! This wild game...it has to be hunted by myself, so it tastes more fragrant!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall laughed loudly and claimed it was!
"Hahahaha! Your Highness is so honest!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng also stood up with a smile, then waved his hand slightly, but said with a smile outside the door.
"Since that's the case, two generals, please..."
Why? Ladiao and the others were immediately frightened, stood up in a hurry, bowed and gave in respect.
"How dare you! Your Highness, please..."
Zhao Zheng suddenly laughed, no longer refused, so he stepped forward and hunted with the two generals.
...
At night, a unique barbecue dinner was in full swing in the general's mansion...
"Brother, didn't you say you would let me taste what real barbecue is tonight?"
As soon as the dinner began, Zhao Yun was already impatiently approaching the emperor's brother and asked hurriedly while swallowing his saliva.
"What kind of barbecue is it! Brother, don't keep it in hiding!!"
Zhao Yun looked at the emperor's brother with a gaze, and was really greedy for what the emperor said in his heart!
"Haha! Sister Yun, don't be anxious, you'll know after a while!"
Zhao Zheng laughed, but refused to reveal any news to Yun'er, but had to wait for her to taste it herself.
He had already explained to Wan'er clearly, but he had accidentally discovered the Western Region spices - chili and cumin, both precious seasonings, were also added to the seasonings for barbecue!
In this way, the flavor is very similar to the spicy barbecue that I knew later!
This is compared to the barbecue made from traditional spices such as fennel and pepper, which is really a difference between heaven and earth!
"What..."
When Zhao Yun heard this, she pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction and had to look at the maids responsible for the barbecue. She was currently under the careful guidance and training of Zhao Wan, and taught them the latest barbecue method that His Highness Qin King said!
At this time, everyone in the hall, just like the Seventh Princess Zhao Yun, was very curious about what His Highness Qin said, "Real Barbecue"!
I don’t understand in my heart that if those two Western regional spices are combined with traditional barbecue, what different new taste will be created?!
So everyone looked at the maids who had already started barbecuing, and witnessed them applying lard to the barbecue. After baking golden brown, they began to sprinkle powder on top.
There was no difference at the beginning, and it was no different from the ordinary barbecue method, but when everyone, under the command of Zhao Wan'er, sprinkled cumin powder made of dry tea on the barbecue!
In an instant!
I saw the fragrance floating all over the yard, and a completely different smell rose, making people unable to resist the smell of the scent of their index fingers!
"this……"
Everyone was surprised. Smelling the fragrant smell, the nose subconsciously twitched a few times, and the throat couldn't help swallowing...
But it's far more than that, when the maids are neatly arranged and sprinkle a thin layer of chili powder on the barbecue!
"Wow!"
The audience was in an uproar!
I saw a rich and pungent and strange spicy smell that filled the audience immediately and instantly rushed over!
This spicy flavor combined with the aroma just now forms a brand new spicy flavor, which makes everyone who hears it move their index fingers and wishes to taste it immediately!
The people in the yard, especially the Seventh Princess Zhao Yun, were the best, but they sneeze while being choked and sneezing!
"Wow! Brother! This, what kind of magic spice is this?!"
...
"Audience friends, welcome to "Hundred Schools of Life". I am your old friend - Yi Shangtian!
What we are going to talk about today are two condiments that we modern people are completely inseparable from!
They are pepper and cumin!
When it comes to these two seasonings, everyone must be familiar with them, right?
For example, the barbecue, hot pot, skewers, etc. we often eat now, and all kinds of delicacies are almost inseparable from these two seasonings!
But what you may not know is that if it weren’t for our eternal emperor, Gan Shihuang!
Alas! Maybe everyone can’t eat these two bites!
Why do you say that? Is Gan Shihuang also a foodie?
That's not, but in ancient times, there was no such thing as pepper and cumin in our Central Plains!
So where is this kind of thing available? It was only available in the Western Regions at that time, and it was called frank pepper and kudzu at that time.
Friends who are familiar with history may know that when Emperor Gan Shi Huang was crowned king, his fiefdom happened to be in the border counties around the Western Regions!
As for Gan Shihuang, when he tasted these two spices, he was overjoyed and completely promoted them in the Jiuzhou of the Central Plains, and then many Chinese delicacies were derived...
So when we nowadays, when eating barbecue and hotpot, we cannot forget our eternal emperor - Gan Shihuang!"
