Bright moon, clear spring, roast chicken, fine wine, and teachers and students.
Tonight, the wasteland was supposed to be as ordinary as usual, but because of the arrival of Li Zexuan, Cheng Chumo, and Sun Zifan, the place became very lively.
"Little Xuan, come, let me give you a toast. I know you've put in a lot of effort for Yanhuang College, but we've always been talking about you in secret. We brothers haven't had a drink together like this in a long time!"
Cheng Chumo's expression changed slightly. He raised a bamboo tube of fine wine and gave a toast to Li Zexuan from afar.
Li Zexuan was speechless. After a while, he sighed and said, "Alright! Tonight, there are only friends and brothers here, no teachers and students. I'll accompany you for a drink or two ~! "
Ever since Li Zexuan entered the Imperial College, his relationship with Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Li Chengqian, and the others had more or less changed. The relationship between friends and brothers had become mixed with the relationship between teachers and students, and there was a sense of distance between them for no reason.
Cheng Chumo's words just now made him feel a lot of emotions. Although he was a Yamachō of Yanhuang College, if he always acted like a Yamachō, it would be easy to neglect the relationship between brothers and friends. He didn't need to be like Kong Yingda, who always maintained the attitude of an "old pedant" to maintain his prestige among the students.
He was him. He was only 15 years old. Only others could imitate him. He didn't need to imitate anyone.
"Haha! Good ~! To be honest, although I'm not a student of Yanhuang College, I always felt suppressed when I talked to you before. I only feel that kind of feeling when I talk to my father. It's rare to be able to drink and chat with you as a friend today. It's really delightful ~! "
Li Chengqian was one of the earliest people Li Zexuan knew. Feeling the subtle change in the atmosphere, Li Chengqian said with a joyful expression.
"Hehe, Gao Ming, you're wrong. We're not just friends and brothers today. We'll be friends for life! It was just that sometimes, due to their different standpoints, they had no choice but to do business as usual ~! Come, let's drink! "
Li Zexuan opened the wine jug and poured a cup of wine into his bamboo tube. The others did the same. After all, the Drunken Immortal's degree of intoxication was too high. If this group of people drank too much, there was an 80% chance that they wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow morning. At that time, they would definitely be punished!
"Hehe! Little Xuan, since we are good brothers, why don't we exchange chickens ~? Look, my cock is bigger than yours! Do you want to trade? "
Everyone couldn't help but cry out in joy as the cool wine entered their stomachs. Li Tai, the clever kid, had his eyes on the tantalizing roast chicken in front of Li Zexuan. He couldn't help but lick his lips and chuckle.
How can good wine not be matched with good meat ~?
Li Zexuan was infuriated when he heard this. The little fatty's words were too f * cking ambiguous. What did he mean by 'my chicken is bigger than yours'? He was obviously trying to stir up trouble!
"Scram! I'm not trading! My cock is ten times bigger than yours! If you want to eat good food, you can do it yourself ~! Do it yourself, and you'll have plenty to eat and wear! "
Li Zexuan looked at Little Fatty and said angrily.
Li Tai didn't understand why Li Zexuan was angry, but he also knew that it was impossible to trade chickens. He could only ask for the next best thing. "Little Xuan, can you share some of the seasonings you brought with you?"
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. At first, Li Tai thought that his roast chicken was pretty good. However, when Li Zexuan came, he instantly felt that the chicken in his hands was a little hard to swallow.
Li Zexuan nodded and threw the bag of seasonings over. Everyone scrambled for it. After a quarter of an hour, with the help of various seasonings, the chicken in everyone's hands emitted waves of fragrance. Compared to before, the taste had obviously improved by more than a level.
"Wu wu ~! Fragrant! So fragrant ~! I haven't eaten such fragrant roast chicken in a long time! "
There was no need for Li Zexuan to say anything. Li Tai had already started eating without a care for his image. Sun Zifan, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and the others followed closely behind.
Looking at the group of people in front of him who were like reincarnated hungry ghosts, Li Zexuan shook his head and slowly tore off a piece of chicken drumstick and began to slowly taste it.
The saltiness was just right, and the heat was just right. However, without the chili, it felt a little wrong! However, because cumin was added during the roast process, the overall taste was still very good.
After all, there was a saying in modern times:
"A skewer of roast meat without chili,
A skewer of roast meat without taste.
A skewer of roast meat without cumin,
A skewer of roast meat without a soul. "
From this, it could be seen how magical cumin was as a seasoning!
"Wu ~! I didn't expect that adding some benzoin fennel on the chicken and roasting it in the fire would actually be so delicious! Xiao Xuan, how did you think of it? "
Li Tai lightly bit a piece of chicken drumstick. His eyes lit up, and he immediately praised it.
The benzoin fennel in his mouth was cumin!
Cumin was native to North Africa and West Asia. According to the archaeological findings in Syria, the use of cumin seeds could be traced back to 2000 BC. The ancient Egyptians used cumin as a spice. When the Pharaohs were buried, the ancient Egyptians needed to make mummies. Cumin also became a component of the mummy's preservative.
"Benzoin fennel" was an ancient name for cumin in China. From the word "benzoin", one could see where and when cumin was introduced to China. Sima Qian recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian", "In the beginning, the Han envoy came to rest. The King of Rest ordered 20,000 cavalry to the east border. The east border was thousands of miles away from the capital. Compared to the journey, there were dozens of cities, and there were many people. "Da Wan, Da Xia, and An Xi are all big countries. They have many strange things and indigenous people. They are quite similar to China, but their soldiers are weak."
Therefore, it could be said that cumin was introduced to China from the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty.
"Yes, yes, I only found out today that adding cumin to the meat can make it so fragrant! Xiao Xuan, you are really too talented! "
As he was in the special training class, Cheng Chumo had eaten a lot of meat in the past two days, so he was not as "hungry" as Li Tai. However, after tasting the meat he had personally roasted, Cheng Chumo could not help but be surprised.
"Heh! Actually, there is still a kind of seasoning missing. If there is it, this chicken will definitely be more than twice as delicious! "
Li Zexuan smiled faintly.
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he said, "What seasoning? I will send someone to search for it later! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Our Tang Empire does not have this kind of thing. If you want to get it, you can only go to the far west to find it. There are tens of thousands of miles of sea in between. I hope I can still eat it in my lifetime!"
The few of them knew that Li Zexuan had a fortuitous encounter when he was young, so they did not ask him how he knew about the seasoning. Cheng Chumo rubbed his chin and smiled. "Heh! What are you afraid of? Our Tang Empire's fleet can now go to the small countries in Nanyang. In the future, we will definitely be able to go to the far west. Xiao Xuan, you will definitely be able to eat that kind of seasoning again! "
