    Thanks for the tip, brothers. I¡¯ve been thinking about the plot recently, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to update more.  Please apologize Zhao Ji had a strange face, half-smiling but not smiling, and said, "Shangfu favors one over the other, that's not okay. Is it only my family that has Fujin?" Wen Fei laughed twice, pretending not to understand.  He waved his hands and said: "Officials, everyone, please!" In the front yard of Shangfu's Mansion, dozens of tables of wine and food were arranged, and there were heaters everywhere, so it didn't feel cold at all.  And the group of people went up to a small building, separated from the front and back. The female relatives Zhao Ji brought naturally went to the attic on the other side, and did not mingle with each other.  Although Zhao Ji is not very popular, he still needs to pay attention to royal decency.  Wen Fei used dishes from later generations this time, but he still followed the custom of the Northern Song Dynasty and sat down to eat separately.  Fortunately, it is not like sitting on the ground like in ancient times. Instead, each person has a separate table and stool, which is full of snacks and fruits with their own unique aromas.  In addition to lychees and other things, although it is out of season, there are also things for sale in Tokyo.  There are also many unheard of and unseen fruits.  For example, the dragon fruit and cherry tomatoes were cheating, which made everyone marvel.  In addition, there are all kinds of cakes and pastries that these people have never seen or heard of before, and they can't help but be more interested in the main dishes that will be served later.  This time, Wen Fei invited famous Hangzhou cuisine chefs to prepare delicious dishes.  This is all to take care of the light taste of the Northern Song Dynasty.  There are no dishes that are heavy with oil and flavor, which is why it can be eaten as soon as it is warmed up without the need for on-site cooking.  It is said that Hangbang cuisine can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty.  At that time, Lin'an was a prosperous Kyoto, with many famous chefs from the north and south, and businessmen from all over the world gathered here.  Hangzhou cuisine reached its heyday.  I think the taste is the same as that of the Northern Song Dynasty, so there won't be much difference.  In fact, Wen Fei has eaten many famous dishes in Tokyo these days and feels the same way.  It is said that Hangzhou cuisine has historically been divided into two schools: "Hushang" and "Chengxiang".  The former mainly uses fish, shrimp and poultry, and is good at techniques such as stir-frying, stewing, and tender frying. It pays attention to the taste of clear, fresh, crispy and tender, and pays attention to retaining the original flavor.  The latter uses mostly meat.  The cooking methods are mainly steaming, stewing, boiling and roasting, focusing on light oil, light pulp, light and tender taste, and focusing on the combination of fresh and salty.  It is closely related to the dishes from the Northern Song Dynasty.  We haven¡¯t waited for the main course to arrive.  Wen Fei smiled at Cai Jing, who had been silent, and said, "Ms. Cai, don't worry about your bad teeth. I made a special dish for you today. Let's see how it compares with the quail soup." Cai Jing said knowingly.  : "Oh. I wonder what kind of dish it is?" He has already given up.  Of course, knowing that Wen Fei had stirred up the topic, she naturally wanted to help him restore his phase!  Immediately, someone brought several bowls of soup. After hearing Wen Fei's boast, several people were curious. They couldn't help but look at the soup, which was bright yellow in color, tender and smooth, and looked like it was on the table.  A small snack called jelly.  "Is this crab soup?" Cai Jing asked.  Wen Fei laughed loudly: "Everyone tastes it first before talking!" "It still tastes like crab soup." Cai Jing was a little confused.  Zhao Ji burst out laughing: "Thanks to you, Xianggong Cai, you are a gourmet who never tires of fine food and never tires of fine cooking. I tasted it. This is clearly fish soup!" Wen Fei clapped his hands and laughed: "The official family is indeed amazing.  "How does this fish soup taste?" "It's shiny, tender and smooth, and tastes like crab meat. It can be said to be the best crab soup."  Wen Fei couldn¡¯t help but admire it. This dish was naturally Song¡¯s Fish Soup that had been passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty to modern times.  Of course, Mrs. Song should still be here now, but this fish soup must not have been made yet.  It wasn¡¯t until after the Jingkang Disgrace that Zhao Gou crossed the Yangtze River and fled to Hangzhou, Song¡¯s wife had the opportunity to have seabass or mandarin fish to make such a famous dish.  Wen Fei clapped his hands, and all kinds of dishes were immediately served.  All are famous dishes in Hangzhou cuisine, such as West Lake vinegar fish, dry-fried ring bells, braised chestnut meat, osmanthus meat, old duck pot, and Longjing shrimp.  Even more suitable for the taste of the Northern Song Dynasty, braised spring bamboo shoots, braised eggplant, Hangzhou three delicacies, braised lion head, braised chicken wings, stir-fried snails, fish head tofu soup, Hangzhou sauce duck, first-grade tofu and so on.  It¡¯s even more satisfying.  Wen Fei felt relieved now. After his on-the-spot investigation by Wen Datianshi, he discovered that the dishes of the Northern Song Dynasty each had their own characteristics.  But to put it bluntly, stir-frying in this era has just been invented. It is not very mature at all, and it does not have as many techniques as later generations.  Most of the food eaten is steamed and boiled, mostly various kinds of pasta.  For example, the braised lion head in the Hangzhou dish, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was?Steamed lion head.  But there is an inheritance relationship with Hangbang Cuisine.  But generally speaking, Hangzhou cuisine is probably more palatable to modern people.  That's why Wen Fei came up with this idea to test the Northern Song Dynasty people's taste for modern dishes.  ????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª?These People,?Don¡¯t Know That They Have Become Wen Fei¡¯s guinea pigs for testing dishes, and they are full of praise for what they eat.  But Wen Fei noticed that these people were more happy with the dishes that were not fried in heavy oil and retained the original flavor of the dishes, and were tender and smooth.  While Wen Fei was paying attention to how everyone ate, he was thinking about how to improve the Northern Song Dynasty cuisine and combine it with the flavor of Hangzhou cuisine so that he could open his own authentic Northern Song Dynasty restaurants all over the world in modern time and space.  At this time, I suddenly woke up.  Since I want to have the original taste.  Why bother thinking about improvement?  Look at the Japanese food, Korean food, and even the food from most countries in the world, how many of them can compare with the Chinese food that our big foodie empire has improved over thousands of years?  But abroad, Chinese food is often synonymous with cheapness Even Bangzi's inhumane dishes are more expensive than Chinese food abroad.  Korean food is even more upscale than Chinese food So, in many cases, what you eat is not the taste, but the culture.  Chinese cuisine has gone astray, focusing on color, flavor and taste.  Combined with what I saw when I went to the French restaurant, what people ate was a cultural atmosphere.  And what about Japanese food?  In high-end Japanese restaurants, even when you go in to eat, you have to change into a kimono and sit on your knees on the tatami.  This attracts people and flocks to it, which further proves that the food is not just about the taste.  More importantly, what you eat is style and culture.  But Chinese food often ignores this point.  To rely solely on taste to win is to go astray and is too vulgar.  The old man said, if you don¡¯t have something, you can benefit from it, if you have something, you can use it!  This sentence is too clear.  Sure enough, every word of the Tao Te Ching can be confirmed in all things.  When Wen Fei was distracted for a moment, he saw that Cai Jing had already started talking to Zhao Ji and was showing off his two holy coins: "What do you think, officials, please take a look at this money?" Zhao Ji looked at the two holy coins over and over again, not knowing what the coin was.  How can it be made.  The portrait of the emperor on the front is extremely clear, with no hair at all.  On the reverse side is the portrait of Heavenly Master Wen Da, which is also printed very beautifully.  He couldn't help but sigh again and again and said: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful! With such money being made, I'm afraid no one in this world can steal it anymore? Shangfu and Cai Xianggong are really intentional!" Don't look at Zhao Ji.  As an emperor, he doesn't do his job properly, but he is still quite sensitive about money.  As soon as I saw these two holy coins, I discovered the beauty of them and was full of admiration.  He asked again: "How much is this money equivalent to copper coins?" Cai Jing said with a smile: "Shang's father decided that it would be one Zumo, which is one hundred Wen!" Zhao Ji shook his head disapprovingly, obviously thinking that such a beautiful coin is worth it.  One hundred articles is too little.  But he didn¡¯t say much.  But Wen Fei smiled and said: "Xianggong Cai is devoted to the country." When he said this, he felt a little sick: "I am no longer in my position, but I still can't let go of the Song Dynasty, and I can't let go of the officials."  Ah. He only came to me to discuss the matter of the two holy coins because he was devoted to the Song Dynasty." Zhao Ji laughed and said, "I know that Xianggong Cai is the most loyal to me."  Cai Jing was moved to tears: "Why do the officials say that? The old minister was idle in Hangzhou back then. If it weren't for the wise eyes of the officials, the old minister's old bones would have been buried in the miasma of the south!" In traditional concepts  Among them, the southern region is humid and humid, a land of miasma.  It has always been regarded as a Jedi by the northerners.  Even by the Northern Song Dynasty, the south was already the main source of taxes for the imperial court.  Those exiled officials were also driven to places like Lingnan.  "However, most of those places are places like Guangdong and Guizhou, which have not been developed much.  Hangzhou is the core of the entire southeast, although it is not yet known as paradise.  But it is definitely not as scary as Cai Jing said, not to mention that this guy is obviously from Fujian Wen Fei complained in his heart, and suddenly saw a person running in a panic, regardless of so many officials attending the banquet,  Keep running towards this small building.  ¡°Just kidding, this small building is where Wen Fei, the father-in-law, and Zhao Ji and his family have a banquet.  The guards were so tight that not even a single guard could be seen when nothing happened.  But this man rushed in in a panic and was immediately stopped by the guards.  "Put him up!" Zhao Ji said in a deep voice.  He had already recognized him. The man who barged in below was clearly Yang Jian's godson.  "It's not good, it's not good. My father is dead!" The man rushed up in a hurry, trembling all over, and shouted: "??Being killed!  "    "What?  "Zhao Ji shouted, and all his good mood was gone. Just kidding, Yang Jian is an important minister in the court, and his official position has reached the high position of Changhua Army Military Envoy. Moreover, this guy has a very close relationship with not only Wen Fei but also Zhao Ji.  Close. Let alone Wen Fei, this guy accompanied Wen Fei all the way from Lanzhou to Tokyo. He is considered to be Wen Fei¡¯s supporter. (To be continued)
