Chapter 8: Sword Gate Pass
With the efforts of six boatmen, Qin Shou, Bai Rongrong and Dudu had already walked out of Chongqing. At this time, they were on the boat on the Jialing River.
From the dock in Chongqing, we traveled through Hezhou along the Jialing River, which is now Hefei Province. The place where we meet with Rennes and others is Jiange.
"Is the place we agreed to with Master Jie and the others in Jiange?"
"Yes. It's in a small town under Jianmen Pass, where the 'Jianmen Tofu' is the most famous."
On the bow of the boat, the three of them were chatting at the scenery along the Jialing River.
"Jianmen Tofu? Hey, why haven't I heard of it?" Bai Rongrong asked again with a curious baby.
Qin Shou took out a copy of "The Official History of the Three Kingdoms" and handed it to Bai Rongrong, saying, "Look at it yourself. There are records on it. It is said that the tofu presented by the villagers to General Jiang Wei of Shu Kingdom was very delicious. If you have the chance, you must try it."
"Wow, it just sounds delicious. Master, let's go there quickly!"
"Idiot, can we control the speed now? It will take about three days to reach the destination." Qin Shou said estimatingly.
But it is not boring on this boat, because the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and occasionally you can dock at the dock of a small town to enjoy local food.
In addition, there is nothing happier with someone you love, and there is no need to think that last year, and you have to be wary of people in the dark cuisine industry everywhere.
...
Time, three days passed
The towering sword gate strangled into the throat of Shu. Because of its dangerous terrain, it has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.
"The rocks and Liangshan are covered with stones. They are from Jingheng in the distance, and are close to Minji. They are connected to Qiongji in the south and Baoxi in the north. They are narrower than Pengjie and higher than Songhua. Only the gate of Shu is built to be a town. This is called Jiange, with a wall that stands thousands of feet high. The danger of the land is hidden and the steep road is the road."
This shows the importance of the geographical location of Jianmen Pass. From ancient times to the present, it has been a military rank and a must-pass way to enter Shu.
Jianmen Pass is a barrier built in the northern part of Sichuan Province, on a steep canyon. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Celestial Empire was respectful to the Western powers, and some people were dissatisfied with them and launched a resistance movement across the country.
In order to arrest some rebels, the investigation of investment in stocks has become increasingly strict...
The person responsible for inspecting the pass is the local magistrate, Lord Luo.
At this time, here the level.
"Why did you enter Sichuan?"
Lord Luo, who was eight feet tall, sat on a big chair. His tall figure and his aura of an official made the passers-by scared.
"Return...Return to the adults, the grass-roots return home."
"Report the name of the profession!"
Lord Luo still had a stern face, making the people who entered Shu from below sweat.
"The fourth Caomin Laozi is a farmer."
"What are these things you are carrying?" Lord Luo's eyes fell on the hoes and other farm tools that claimed to be the fourth child.
The fourth brother did not dare to neglect and hurriedly replied: "This is a farm tool bought by Caomin from other places."
"No matter which dynasty, farm tools are the main weapons of the rebellion and are confiscated!"
"Please... please wait a moment. I can't work without farm tools."
"This person has been entangled, there must be a problem, so take it down for interrogation!"
...
As it is now, the review of entering Sichuan is becoming more and more strict, and even the farm tools cannot be brought in. Many people who are keen on the fun have replaced them.
However, today two people blatantly took "weapons" to attack Lord Luo and prepared to enter Shu.
A man with long blue hair and carrying seven or eight different kitchen knives on his body.
The other person had long scars on his face and a large steel stick wrapped in white cloth in his right hand.
"Yeah, who is coming?"
"Shanxi Province is also a special pastry chef certified by the imperial court!"
"Guangdong Province's 'Yangquan Restaurant' Rennes."
Both of them participated in the battle at the Great Wall last year, so their fame also resounded throughout the mainland.
As a foodie, Lord Luo cannot not know about this, so he naturally heard of these two people.
"It turned out to be the 'Seven Star Knife' Rennes, and the 'Stick'."
The serious expression on Lord Luo's face eased a little, and then his face changed slightly, saying, "But even you can't bring these sharp things in. I will never let dangerous elements go to Sichuan to cause trouble. And if you say you are the famous Rennes Reconciliation Qi, do I believe it?"
“My sir means…”
"It's very simple. At this moment, you can prove your identity. There is a small kitchen upstairs for soldiers to cook, and the ingredients are complete. You can make our famous Sichuan dish in turn - re-cooked pork!"
Lord Luo said his request with a smile on his lips. Obviously, he recognized Renn's identity as Jie Qi, not a fake.
As for the request to make cooking, it was because he didn't want to miss this opportunity and try his skills to defeat the famous chefs in the dark cuisine industry that year.
He was originally a foodie, and this opportunity was really rare.
"Oh, it's really troublesome."
"It's all your fault that you set out so early. If you took Xiaotang, a Sichuan native, you might be able to pass."
Making a hot pot meat is an easy task for two people who have long reached the level of "special chefs".
But the two just felt it was very troublesome, and it was common to argue with each other. Even in this small kitchen, they started to fight each other in front of Lord Luo.
"Ren, aren't you going out early with me indifferently?"
"I made an appointment with the young boss. Even if I tie a rope to your neck, I will take you downstairs!"
"Bastard, do you want to fight?"
Seeing that the two of them were actually quarreling, Lord Luo's forehead turned black and couldn't help but yelled: "Don't waste my time here, go and cook quickly, I'm very busy!"
There was no way, Renn reconciled Jie Qi could only pick up their own kitchen utensils and started making famous Sichuan dishes - re-cooked pork.
But the two did not intend to make traditional double-cooked meat, but instead made refreshing double-cooked meat with their respective cooking techniques.
Renn, he stir-fryed pork belly with thin strips in water, piled up into hills, and covered with fresh scallion whites.
This piled up in a large plate, like a layer of clouds covering it, so the name of this dish is Yunyin Refrigerated Pork.
