Sweet-tongued folk stories

From folk stories, we can know the cultural background and humanistic feelings at that time.

The following is a sweet-tongued folk story I recommend for you:

Master Long of Changshou County is good at making a famous dish called "Sweet Tongue". Many people came to him to make a fragrant tongue, but he was too busy, so he made a rule that he would make a fragrant tongue on the eighth day of every month.

This year, Mr. Zhang of our county is an old man. He specially invited Chef Long to make a fragrant tongue and bought a full moon wine for his son. He said happily, "I will not only invite Chef Long to my house for a month, but also give him five taels of silver."

After the banquet, Chef Long stayed in Zhangjia for a month. On this day, Chef Long came home with five taels of silver. When he walked into a dense forest, a masked man suddenly jumped out and stopped him. Chef Long quickly took out five taels of silver and said with trepidation, "Hero, I will give you all this money. Please do me a favor ... "

In the panic, Chef Long found that the masked man had six fingers in his hand with a knife. After the masked man took the silver, he suddenly hit the dragon chef on the head with the back of a knife, and the dragon chef was unconscious.

A young man named He Sheng found the Dragon Chef when he passed by, so he woke him up and took him home to recuperate. He Sheng told Master Long that he came from other places to make a living, and his parents died, leaving him alone. Chef Long decided to accept him as his adopted son, and they lived alone.

Since then, the dragon chef's health is not as good as before, and he vowed never to come to the door to make a fragrant tongue for people again.

After the local people knew it, they were very sorry and complained about Master Long. They all said that He Sheng would report to the government and catch the murderer with six fingers! On the same day, He Sheng reported the case to the yamen of Changshou County.

A few days later, Mr. Zhang, who has six fingers in his right hand, was arrested by your officer because of his great suspicion. Although Mr. Zhang refused to admit that he had robbed Master Long, no one came to prove his innocence. Later, he died in his cell.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Master Long really didn't make another sweet talk. He took He Sheng to cook some ordinary dishes, and his life was smooth and steady.

On this day, the new county magistrate Lu Guangzong was transferred to Changshou County. On his arrival, he spent two days reading all the files handled by his predecessor.

On the third day, he wandered around Changshou town in casual clothes, and happened to hear a story circulating among the people, so he quietly returned to the county government.

During the dinner, Lu Guangzong asked Zhao Chunhou, the master of writing, "I heard that there is a chef named Long in Longjiagou, this county. He has a famous dish called Xiang Tongue, which is secret. Is this true? "

Zhao Chunhou said with a big smile: "It is right for adults Lu to come to our Changshou County as parents! Although chef Long stopped being a chef three years ago. However, one of his apprentices learned to sweet talk. In three days, I want to let Lord Lu eat sweet tongue. "

Lu Guangzong said, "OK, then I'm waiting to enjoy the food."

On this day, He Sheng went to the market in Xincheng. He overheard that Xinxian wanted to eat the popular tongue, so he hurried home and told Master Long about the situation.

Dragon master sighed, "I swore not to make fragrant stone, so I can't cook for the county magistrate." It seems that I have to teach you how to make a sweet tongue. Go to the new market and buy a fresh pig tongue, and I'll teach you right away! "

To make a fragrant tongue, we should pay special attention to the freshness of pig tongue. It's better to be a pig's tongue that has just been killed. He Sheng went to Xinfadi Market, bought a fresh pig tongue and hurried home.

Chef Long is ready at home. When He Sheng took back the pig's tongue, the Dragon Chef immediately began to teach He Sheng how to do it. The first step is to remove saliva by soaking. Chef Long soaked the pig tongue in a small pot of hot water. After an hour, Master Long told He Sheng to rub the pig's tongue in a small basin and try to wipe the saliva off his tongue.

The second process is two steaming and two boiling. Chef Long put the pig's tongue flat on the chopping board. He dug a nail cover with his slender nails and drew two salt lines on the pig's tongue. Then Chef Long cut the whole tongue into 24 pieces with a kitchen knife. None of them can be broken, but they must be connected. Then, he steamed the pig's tongue flat in a steamer for a period of time, and controlled the temperature so that the pig's tongue would be released when it was five ripe.

The third process is tri-crisp coloring. Chef Long cooks enough vegetable oil first, then lifts the pork tongue with a spatula, dips it into the oil pan, sends it forward, and then collects it. Go back and forth like this, you can't answer it twice. After listening to the explosion for a while, there was a bad smell coming on my face, which made the stove smoky. Take out the pig's tongue and you will see that it is fried crispy, and then add ingredients to the pig's tongue. Put it on the table, a whimper, wonderful fragrance, endless aftertaste!

He Sheng ate the sweet tongue he dreamed of and learned how to make it. He is very happy!

The next day, He Sheng arrived at the yamen. The writer Zhao Chunhou introduced He Sheng to Lu Guangzong. Lu Guangzong waved to Zhao Chunhou and said, "Go ahead and leave him alone. I want to see how he makes sweet words. "

After Zhao Chunhou left, He Sheng said, "Master Lu, if you want to make a top-grade fragrant tongue, you need to kill the pig now and get the freshest pig tongue."

Lu Guangzong said, "It's not difficult. Just ask the butcher to kill a fat pig and take its tongue at once. "

An hour later, an official brought the steaming bloody pig tongue to He Sheng. He Sheng put the pig tongue in the prepared hot water. An hour later, He Sheng carefully cleaned the pig's tongue.

But He Sheng made a mistake in the second process. The salt he sprinkled on the pig's tongue was extremely uneven, not a straight line at all. He had to stir those salt grains into a rough cross with his fingers. There was something wrong when he cut the pig's tongue with a knife, not 24 pieces, but 22 pieces. He Sheng thought it was not a big problem to have one more piece and one less piece, so he put the pig's tongue in the steamer and added a fire.

When He Sheng was doing the third process, he also lifted the tongue of a well-done pig with a spatula, dipped it in the oil pan, sent it forward, and then collected it, only to find that the frying sound was very low and there was not much fragrance coming. He breathed a sigh of relief when he fished out the pig's tongue and saw the fried cake turn yellow.

He Sheng added ingredients to the pig's tongue and served it on the table. He smelled it, but it still didn't smell at all! But he pretended to be calm and said to Lu Guangzong, "Lord Lu, please try some sweet words."

Lu Guangzong put a piece in his mouth with chopsticks and began to eat. Then he spat it out and said angrily, "Taste it. What's this smell?"

He Sheng took a bite and was surprised. How can it be far from the sweet tongue made by master? Don't say it's fragrant, it doesn't even smell of salt!

"Give me win! Why did you lie to this official? " After Liu Guangzong spoke, your honour immediately came up to subdue He Sheng.

"He Sheng, how can Mr. Zhang Die be in his cell? Truthfully avoid your death! " Lu Guangzong asked.

It turned out that on the day Lu Guangzong arrived at Changshou yamen, Zhao Chunhou made him a dinner. When he raised his glass with both hands, Lu Guangzong found that Zhao Chunhou had six fingers in his left hand. He didn't think much at that time. He looked at the case file handled by his predecessor and found that the person who robbed Chef Long also had six fingers, so he became suspicious. ...

Lu Guangzong is suspicious of this case. Mr. Zhang really gave Master Long five taels of silver. How can he get it back on the way? When Lu Guangzong was visiting the market, he heard that Mr. Zhang died in his cell, so he quietly returned to the yamen and filed a sweet tongue with Zhao Chunhou at night. Zhao Chunhou said that you can eat sweet tongue in three days. Seeing that Zhao Chunhou was so sure, Lu Guangzong knew that Zhao Chunhou had an extraordinary relationship with He Sheng, so he wanted to check the case.

He Sheng was so scared that he had to tell everything he knew.

He Sheng revealed that Zhao Chunhou had a cousin who bought 100 mu of fertile land from Mr. Zhang at a low price and paid half the money. After Mr. Zhang got his precious son, he felt that his family business had been inherited and he didn't want to sell the land. So he decided not to sell this 100 mu of fertile land on the grounds that the other party failed to pay on time.

Zhao Chunhou's cousin said that Mr. Zhang only promised to sell 50 acres of land. For this, my cousin found Zhao Chunhou. He said, "If you try to stop Zhang from changing his mind, cousin, then I will give you 50 acres of fertile land."

Zhao Chunhou was tempted, so he went to find his confidant He Sheng and told him to wait for the opportunity to learn from Master Long. On that day three years ago, Zhao Chunhou went to the forest with He Sheng. When Master Long came back from the outside, Zhang ...

Under the planning of Zhao Chunhou, Zhang got a piece of paper outside his cell, which was the receipt he received when he sold 50 acres of fertile land, and asked him to sign it himself. When Mr. Zhang saw it, he was so angry that he hit the wall and died.

In the end, Zhao Chunhou was jailed. He Sheng only got 50 boards in court for exposing Zhao Chunhou's meritorious service.

Lu Guangzong called the dragon chef to the county government and did not forget to eat his own fragrant tongue. Chef Long said, "Let He Sheng do it. This time, he will do it! "

Under the gaze of Lu Guangzong, He Sheng, like the previous one, was not careless about the three processes of making fragrant tongue. As a result, He Sheng's fragrant tongue is as wonderful and memorable as Master's. What's going on here? Liu Guangzong and He Sheng suddenly looked at each other.

Chef Long said: "Among all condiments, salt is the most important! How much salt to add to each dish is the most difficult to master! In the first process of making sweet tongue, I secretly put enough salt in hot water. Soak the pig's tongue like that for an hour, and the salt water will enter the tongue. Digging the salt into a cross with your finger carapace is just pretending to hide your eyes and ears. Do you think a little salt can make your tongue have enough salt? "

Liu Guangzong laughed.
