Chapter 206: Dragon Tiger Fight (Part 1) (1/2)
The autumn breeze is strong, but it is fat and nourishing at the time.
According to legend, the ”Dragon Tiger Fighting” dish began in the Tongzhi period of ancient times when a man named Jiang Kongyin was born in Shaoguan and served as an official in Beijing.
After returning to his hometown, he devoted himself to cooking and wanted to create new famous dishes.
One year, when he was making his 70th birthday, his relatives and friends asked him to bring out a new dish that no one had eaten on the birthday, so he pondered over and over again.
One day when he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, he suddenly heard the old cat calling non-stop. He opened his eyes and saw that the old cat was flaring his teeth and dancing at a snake in the cage.
Jiang Kong Yin's inspiration, he came up with new dishes made from snakes and cats for his relatives and friends to try new dishes, and said to them, ”Snakes are dragons and cats are tigers. When the two meet, there must be a fight. Tiger fight.”
Everyone was amazed, Jiang Kongyin was very happy.
After the meal, a diner said, ”The dragon and the tiger fight each other, the dragon is better than the tiger, why not ask the phoenix for help?”
Jiang Kong thought deeply for a moment, and then he suddenly understood the diners' off-strings. ”Cat meat is far less delicious than snake meat. If it can be matched with poultry meat, its taste will be like icing on the cake.”
However, this person has left without a trace.
Jiang Kongyin regarded the diners as his confidant and asked the people, but they didn't know who the name of the person was.
After the family and friends dispersed, Jiang Kongyin adopted the diners’ suggestions, cooked them carefully, and tried to continuously improve them.
Later, the famous dish ”Dragon Tiger Fight” with snake as ”dragon”, cat as ”tiger” and chicken as ”phoenix” was born for the first time in the world, also known as ”dragon tiger and phoenix”.
It is rumored that when the dragon and the tiger are fighting, the fragrance can be smelled for ten miles, and the diners of that day suddenly appear.
Jiang Kong Yin was overjoyed, prepared two jars of good wine, and asked him to taste the improved dragon and tiger fight together.
The diners smiled slightly, drank the full jar of good wine, and said, ”This dish has a charm, why bother to taste it again.”
Jiang Kongyin was cited as a strange man and noble, and asked, ”Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name?”
The diners rose by the wind and turned away.
Jiang Kongyin was frightened to the ground, and he realized that he had met a man of God.
At this time, the voice of that person floated in the sky, ”My name is Kong Li, I have a chance to meet again.”
As a result, the name of ”Dragon Tiger Fighting” has spread throughout the world.
This dish is meticulously crafted, the ingredients are diverse, and it is fresh, but it is not complicated and can be described as simple.
Lin Chou was recalling how this dish was made, and Shan Ye came in carrying two big snakes.
”I see that the two cats in Lord Gungun's hands seem to be a male and a female? Hey, as the saying goes, although I die, there will be children and grandchildren, and grandchildren will have children, and children will have children and children. There are also grandchildren, and the descendants and grandchildren are endless. Brother Lin, you dragon and tiger fight, can you also engrave on the sign?”
Do you also know that Yugong Yishan is amazing, my brother, who graduated from the ancient literature class of the Academy of Sciences?
Shan Ye said with a smile, ”As soon as you let me get a snake, Brother Lin, I know I have a good meal today, dragons and tigers fight, tut...”
Without a word, Lin Chou took the snake from Lord Shan.
The black snake, the alias is black, and the taste is extremely delicious.
The two snakes that Shan Ye brought were clearly the spine black tips that had undergone an alienation once. Both snakes were nearly four meters long, the mouth of the bowl was thin, and the scales were extremely regular. They were hexagonal in shape, and they were dark and shiny.
Compared to other snakes or Xiao Qiu, who didn't even have any eyes, the eyes of the sword ridge black tip were extremely big, and the eyes flowed.
Its snake core made a hissing sound while it was swallowing, and there was a strange sweet smell permeating it.
Lin Chou was overjoyed, ”This snake is very poisonous and very good!”
