Chapter 5 Pork
After breakfast, he greeted his parents, Lin Xuan took his younger sister, Chunyue, and Lin Ping out together.
Lin Ping is the son of Lin Feng, the housekeeper of the Lin family. Since Lin Xuan had an accident last time, Lin Dongyang arranged Lin Ping to be his attendant.
"My lord, do you need a carriage?" Lin Ping asked.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need, let's go on foot and it's not far away."
Although Lin Xuan's previous memories are integrated, those memories are just like watching a movie. Although I know what's going on, it's completely different from my own personal experience.
Chang'an City, the largest city in the world at that time, I'm really sorry if I don't take a good look around.
Chang'an City is divided into more than 38 residential areas by 100 streets vertically and horizontally, that is, squares, and each residential area will be surrounded by square walls.
And Changshoufang, where the Lin family lived, was not far from the West Market where Lin Xuan planned to go.
There are no shops on the streets of Chang'an, and it is not allowed to set up stalls at will. To do business, you must go to the place designated by the court. At that time, Datang specially divided two places, called the East and West Second City.
There are 220 lines of commodities operated in Dongshi, "the treasures from all over the world are accumulated.
In the West Market, there are nearly a thousand merchants engaged in various commodity transactions.There are many hostels, flag pavilions, restaurants and food stalls around the street.The "Hu people" who came to Chang'an to do business in the Western Regions, Central Asia, and West Asia through the Silk Road also gathered in the city to deal in gold, silver and jewelry, and bought silk and porcelain with Chinese characteristics to be shipped back to China for resale.
The "things" in the term "buying things" originally referred to the two major markets in Tang Chang'an City, "East Market" and "West Market".
It didn't take long for a group of people to arrive at the West Market. There was an endless stream of pedestrians, and all kinds of small businesses and hawkers could be seen everywhere.
I even saw a lot of blond foreigners, very prosperous.
Lin Xuan was afraid of being crowded out, so he hugged Lin Duoduo in his arms when he arrived in West Market.
Lin Xuan's purpose this time was to buy some seasonings, but he did not go to a shop that specializes in seasonings. No matter how common seasonings are, it is impossible for the Lin family to not have them.
He knew that many things were imported into China from abroad, and there were many foreign businessmen in Xishi, so he wanted to try his luck.
After shopping for a long time, I also went to many shops opened by foreign businessmen, but nothing was gained.
Lin Xuan couldn't help wondering, could it be that it hasn't been introduced to China yet?
Came to a shop again, Lin Xuan looked at it, but there was still nothing, and asked the shop owner with some reluctance, "Do you have any seasonings from your country here?"
The shop owner is a brown-haired foreigner, and Lin Xuan doesn't know which country he is from. To open a shop in Datang, he must be able to speak Chinese. Lin Xuan is not worried that he will not understand.
Hearing Lin Xuan's question, he asked, "I don't know what seasoning the young master needs?"
Lin Xuan described to him the appearance of the seasoning he needed.
The boss shook his head and said, "Sorry, I haven't heard of this seasoning before."
Lin Ping, who was at the side, heard Lin Xuan's description, and said hesitantly, "My lord, it seems that what you mentioned are not seasonings, but medicinal materials."
"Have you seen it?" Lin Xuan asked excitedly.
Lin Ping said: "I saw it in the pharmacy when I went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine. It was very similar to what the young master said, but I don't know if it is what the young master said."
"Come on, let's go to the pharmacy." Lin Xuan said.
Whether it is or not, he will not be reconciled if he does not take a look.
"Brother, Dodo is hungry, when will I go back." Dodo said dissatisfied.
Lin Xuan pinched Duoduo's nose, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, when you find what brother wants, I'll make something delicious for you when I go back."
"Really?"
Lin Duoduo liked the dishes made by Lin Xuan very much. Hearing that Lin Xuan said that he would prepare delicious food for her, his mouth was almost watering.
"Really, you little greedy cat." Seeing his sister's expression, Lin Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Following Lin Ping to the nearest pharmacy, Lin Xuan described some condiments to the pharmacist, but he didn't expect to find them.
Lin Xuan was very happy to see what the buddy brought out, aniseed, star anise, fennel...
After buying a big bag of each item, Lin Xuan happily said to Lin Duoduo, "Big brother will cook something delicious for you when you go back."
"Oh, go back and eat delicious food." Lin Duoduo cheered.
……
Lin Xuan took the seasonings he bought, and when he got home, he went into the kitchen and got busy.
"My lord, these are pork, and they are for the servants to eat." Wang Dayou said quickly when he saw Lin Xuan holding the pork. He thought Lin Xuan didn't know pork.
"What I want is pork." Lin Xuan said.
In the Tang Dynasty, as long as the family had some conditions, they would not eat pork. Only those who had no money and could not afford meat would eat pork.
Because the smell of pork is too strong, it is really difficult to eat.
But Lin Xuan didn't care about this at all. People in the Tang Dynasty didn't eat it, just because they couldn't cook it.
Tian Dayou saw that Lin Xuan knew it was pork, and insisted on it, so he didn't stop him.
While cooking, Lin Xuan did not forget to teach Wang Dayou how to cook pork.
Wang Dayou didn't want to learn at all, so what if pork is made into flowers, who will eat it.
But when the smell of Lin Xuan's cooking came, Wang Dayou was a little shaken.
Because it was so fragrant, he didn't know if it tasted good, but he couldn't help but start drooling just because of the smell.
Lin Xuan didn't care, and cooked the dishes with heart, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, pot-wrapped pork...
Including vegetarian dishes, a total of twelve dishes were made, eight meat and four vegetarian dishes.
……
"Xuan'er, you made these?" Lin Dongyang looked at the delicious dishes on the table, swallowed, and said.
"Well, parents, try it. I couldn't make it because of the seasoning yesterday. I bought the seasoning specially today." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Wow, brother, is this the delicious food you said? I want to eat it." Lin Duoduo said happily.
Lin Xuan smiled, put a piece of braised pork into his sister's bowl, and said, "Eat it, be careful not to burn it."
Lin Duoduo couldn't wait to pick up the braised pork and put it in her mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Lin Duoduo ate a piece of meat and praised loudly.
Lin Dongyang also ate a piece, it was indeed delicious, but he couldn't figure out what kind of meat it was, so he asked curiously: "Xuan'er, what kind of meat is this, why can't I eat it?"
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Father, this is pork."
Lin Dongyang said in disbelief: "How is it possible, I have eaten pork, and it doesn't taste like this at all."
"Father, it's just that no one knows how to do it. As long as there is a correct method, pork is delicious." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Dongyang nodded: "It's really delicious."
"It's still my Xuan'er who is so good, you made the unpalatable pork delicious." Zhang Qing praised happily.
Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed by his mother's praise, and quickly said, "Father and mother, try other things, they won't taste good when they get cold."
