"The village chief said that fish in this season are easier to preserve. I froze it and hung it up so I can eat it whenever I want."
"What?"
"This isn't the South?"
"How can there be fish in the middle of winter?"
When he heard it was a fish, Zhou Wanggui found it even more incredible.
In an instant, I had a taste of what winter fish tasted like.
He is from the south and has been eating fish since he was a child. He has never eaten fish in the northern winter.
This is also related to the geographical environment of Youzhou. Youzhou is a mountainous area in the north. Although there are many rivers, there are few fish. What's more, in such a winter, the surface of the river is covered with thick ice. He can't remember how long it has been since he last ate fresh fish.
Liu Feng could tell at a glance that Lord Li wanted to eat fish.
If he wants to eat fish, this gives him a way to control him.
Although this person's official position is not high, he is the Salt and Iron Transport Commissioner. If he suppresses him too much, it will be troublesome if this guy secretly takes revenge on him.
In this case, bribery is the best solution.
"Master Zhou, catching fish is neither easy nor difficult. I have plenty of them in my village now."
"It's winter now, and the big whitefish in the Xinqiang River are at their most delicious. If you gulp them down with old yellow rice wine, the flavor is heavenly, and it's a rare opportunity for people to savor it."
Hearing Liu Feng say this, Zhou Wanggui's eyes moved slightly.
Turning around, I saw Liu Feng smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the food.
"Master Liu, are you serious?"
Zhou Wanggui's gluttony was completely aroused.
"Yellow wine gudong big white fish?"
"Why have I never heard of such a dish?"
Liu Feng smiled and began to explain.
"This is a long-lost imperial dish from the previous dynasty."
"This is also thanks to the contributions of my ancestors, who taught me this dish."
"If it comes to me, I'm afraid that only my wife and I can do it."
"Master Zhou, as the saying goes, tofu lasts forever, fish lasts forever. It tastes delicious."
"ah?"
When Zhou Wanggui heard that it was a lost palace dish, he could no longer contain his excitement.
But now he has to put aside his status and beg Liu Feng to eat such a dish. Where will his face go?
Seeing Zhou Wanggui's hesitation, Liu Feng knew what this kid meant.
Lark laughed out loud, very understanding.
"It just so happens that when I went out today, I had already asked my family to make this dish."
"If Lord Zhou has time and doesn't mind, you can go to my humble abode and try it."
"But my humble abode is simple, and the food is just plain rice and tea. If it delays Master Zhou's business, it's fine."
Zhou Wanggui was immediately delighted. What he expected came true.
He coughed immediately.
"No delay, no delay."
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
Liu Feng left with a smile, rode back home at full speed, and hurriedly made arrangements. The first thing he did was to go to the water stronghold and get the biggest and most beautiful white fish. Then he began to teach Mu Wanqing how to cook fish.
After Zhou Wanggui finished inspecting the mine, Wang Dingliu took him to Liu Feng's house.
The dishes were simple, with four dishes and one soup, and Liu Feng's own brewed wine. When he arrived, Liu Feng had already made all the arrangements clearly.
"Master Zhou, please take a seat."
On the campus, there were wine and food on the small table, but only Liu Feng and Zhou Wanggui were eating.
At this time, Zhou Wanggui no longer had the condescending look he had before, but instead had a kind look on his face.
Especially after smelling the fragrance emanating from the white fish, he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Wanggui, whose appetite had been whetted by this dish for a long time, could not wait any longer. He immediately picked up the chopsticks, suddenly scraped off a large piece, lightly dipped it in some seasonings in the soup, and put it to his mouth.
The fish was out of the pot not long ago and was very hot, which made him shudder all over. He blew on it awkwardly for a long time before slowly putting it into his mouth.
Suddenly, an incomparable sweet and delicious taste spread across the taste buds and went down the throat into the stomach.
This feeling made Zhou Wanggui feel very strange, as if his whole body was tasting like fish.
Because rice wine is added to the white fish, and the fish meat is fresh enough, there is no fishy smell at all.
This shocked Zhou Wanggui, who was used to eating low-quality ingredients all day long.
"This taste is truly something only found in the palace."
Looking at Zhou Wanggui's surprised expression, Liu Feng remained very calm.
It took several seconds before he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Then he started to eat. Liu Feng just watched and smiled silently without saying anything.
"Such a delicious dish, why doesn't Madam Liu let the women in the family taste it together?"
Zhou Wanggui was being purely polite, because in his hearty feast, half of a large enough white fish had been eaten.
He was embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. They have their own."
Liu Feng looked at the dishes on the table. They were very ordinary, just a fish, some wild vegetables, and mushrooms.
Except for the fish, which was specially made by Zhou Wanggui, the rest were just leftover scraps at home.
There was no other way. If I took out all the delicacies at home and cooked them for such a small official, he would be scared to death.
Now, the Mu sisters, Wu Xiangyue and others are already eating pork elbows and pheasant stewed with mushrooms at the horse farm.
