Chapter 26

Emperor Shixi's words matched with the charming aroma floating out of the kitchen. The servants continued to serve the dishes on the table. The three people on the sofa were forced to bear the urge of drooling before they slowly sat on the table.

Du Zhong didn't have so many scruples. He stretched himself out, jumped like a reflex, and ran over, "It's okay, I'm starving!"

Yan Xuyao ​​took the first place, Du Zhong took Du Qing are sitting on the left, Emperor Shixi sat down on the right. Each of the five servants stood at the table with two dishes,hot and cold. "Uncle Yan, you sit down too and eat, don't stand."

"Well, this old man will not be polite today," Steward Yan swallowed, and his eyes were still staring at the dish they were holding. The fragrance was so attractive that he could refuse any time. {??} He would be greedy if he could not eat the delicious food today. Steward Yan doesn't have any big hobbies, he only loves to eat delicious food. When the old master was there, he took him out to find good food. Later, he ate almost all the food outside, Steward. Yan learned to make it by himself.

The eight major Chinese cuisines are Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Fuijian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Anhui*. Let's talk about the traditional dishes first. The traditional dishes are not only the ones we eat in restaurants all around the world. Now we know the famous dishes, such as fish-flavored shredded pork,fried chicken, and so on. The history of these dishes is only a few hundred years old, but if we turn it over, we will find that more traditional famous dishes have been lost or few people have made them, but if we carefully analyze the dishes in those documents, we can easily find that a considerable part of them are very healthy food. For example, in the pre-Qin period, there was very little rice, wheat, millet and sorghum in northern China. These things were hardly used as a staple food. However, sorghum is rich in tannic acid, which can inhibit the secretion of intestinal fluid. It can effectively prevent excessive saturated fat from being absorbed by the body. Moreover, when cooking in ancient times, it is often seasoned with salt plum in materials such as fish and meat. Salt plum is rarely used now, but it tastes delicious. The layering is very rich, and it is really a rare seasoning. We need to pick up all the techniques when we innovate the dishes. Many of our traditional things are not well preserved in our country, but they are constantly promoted in Japan and South Korea. For example, the salted plum mentioned earlier is still widely used in Japanese cuisine, but their juxtaposition is relatively simple, and it has not reached the level of our ancestors. Japan, In terms of fermented condiments, has fully summed up and improved the excellence of various fermented condiments since the pre-Qin period in China, and made miso, which has perfect flavor and healthy nutrition. While in China, most condiments have taboos on dosage, such as the problem of eating too much monosodium glutamate.

With the development in modern times, many ancient recipes for medicinal dishes have already broken down. For example, many palace imperial dishes have also been lost, and their characteristics are the product of excellent materials,fine production, beautiful appearance and color, the extremely delicate and delicious. Many Shanzhen seafood, kneading Manchu, both boiled and grilled, and barbeque and fried, the technology is more comprehensive than any local cuisine. In Samsara, the cultural knowledge of country C for thousands of years had been imported, among which, the recipes of several long lost major and imperial cuisines, which are just daily food for Emperor Shixi.

"A total of five cold dishes and five hot dishes are perfect together," Emperor Shixi motioned the servants to put them on one by one, and he reported the name of each dish. Several cold dishes were on the table. Du Qing looked at Du Zhong and their chopsticks.
