The cooking methods at the end of the Han Dynasty had been greatly improved compared to the pre-Qin period.
Boiling was the most commonly used cooking method.
Other than that, there were also frying, roasting, steaming, stir-frying, deep-frying, preserved meat, meat sauce, and so on.
In the wilderness.
Roasting was the most common cooking method.
Compared to 1,800 years later, the tools and seasonings for grilling were scarce. However, Zhao Mu had lived in this era for 20 years. He had been a farmer, a fisherman, and a hunter.
The grilled fish that was adapted to the local conditions had long been perfected.
There was a lot of research on how to control the heat of the grilled fish and how to use the seasonings of the late Han Dynasty to increase the freshness and fragrance.
After all.
If one's background was not good, it would depend on one's reincarnation skills.
The taste of the ingredients depended on your active mind.
Zhao Mu was glad that he had transmigrated to the late Han Dynasty and not the pre-Qin Dynasty.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the extraction of coarse salt had already reached a considerable level. It was not to the extent that it had to be eaten with mineral impurities.
He carefully sprinkled a few pinch of fine salt on the grilled fish, and the fragrance of the grilled fish became even more delicious!
"Xiao Shuo, this is yours! Be careful, it's hot. Remember to spit out the fish bones!"
Zhao Mu passed the smaller grilled fish to Cao Shuo.
As the first brother-in-law to call him brother-in-law and the youngest, Zhao Mu naturally had to take care of him.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
The first time, the second time, they were familiar with each other. After calling him "brother-in-law" a few more times, Cao Shuo's tongue became much sharper.
"You're so sweet. Eat your fish!”
Cao Qinghe scolded Cao Shuo, but his heart felt as if it had been smeared with honey.
"Qinghe, hold on tight!"
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zhao."
"Xiao Shuo is already calling me brother-in-law, why don't you call me husband?”
"Brother Zhao, don't tease me. I'm going back!”
"Haha, Sister Qinghe, there are no outsiders here.”
"Xiahou Juan, shut up!"
Cao Qinghe's face was red with embarrassment as he snuck a peek at Zhao Mu while munching on the grilled fish.
He was secretly annoyed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let Xiahou Juan and Xiao Shuo come!
"Miss Xia Hou, your fish is ready.”
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zhao!"
Xiahou Juan thanked him, but when she took the fish, her small hand accidentally touched Zhao Mu, and her small face immediately turned red.
Fortunately, Xiahou Juan reacted quickly, so Cao Qinghe didn't see the abnormality.
That was close!
If Sister Qinghe saw this, she would tease me!
Zhao Mu shook his head.
Although women in the late Han Dynasty were not persecuted by the Cheng and Zhu school of thought, they were not so guarded against men and women to a perverted extent.
However, due to the influence of the Rites of Zhou, there were still some basic etiquette between men and women.
Otherwise, this person would not be a human, but an animal.
Seeing Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan, these two lovely people, Zhao Mu could not help but have the heart to tease them.
"Qinghe, Miss Xia Hou, have you heard of the Great Han Beauty Rankings?”
"Great Han Beauty Ranking?" Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan were immediately interested."Does Big Brother Zhao know?"
A crafty look flashed across Zhao Mu's eyes as he began to compile the Beauty Rankings.
"Of course I know about it. It is said that this Beauty Rankings was made by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in the past!”
"Jiangnan's Big and Little Qiao, Hebei's Zhen Mi Qiao, Guanzhong's Beauty Feng, Chang 'an's Diao Chan Miao.”
"There's also Jing State's Huang Yueying, Guang Ling's Infantry Master, Chen Liu's Cai Wenji. These eight people occupy eight of the top ten beauties of the Great Han Dynasty.”
Cao Qinghe sighed softly." I know Sister Wenji. She was just crowned in Luoyang in the past, but unfortunately, she met a bad person and married Wei Zhongdao from the east of the river. Wei Zhongdao died of illness, so Sister Wenji was expelled from the east of the river. There has been no news of her since."”
"But I'm not sure about the others.”
Zhao Mu smiled and said," This Jiangnan Da and Xiao Qiao are the two daughters of Qiao Rui, a wealthy family in Lujiang. They are both talented and beautiful, and they are unmarried. Zhen Mi of Hebei was from the Zhen family of Zhongshan. She was known as the number one beauty of Hebei.”
"Beauty Feng of Guanzhong is the daughter of Feng Fang, the Si Li. She is now Yuan Shu's beautiful concubine.”
"Diao Chan of Chang 'an was a songstress trained by the late Situ Wang Yun. She was a pitiful girl who fell victim to Wang Yun's serial schemes and was a mediator between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.”
"Jing State's Huang Yueying is the daughter of Jing Xiang's famous official Huang Chengyan. This woman is proficient in the Mohist School's craftsmanship and is talented and beautiful.”
"Guangling Bu Lian Shi is the daughter of Guangling Bu Clan. She is gentle and proper, and has the appearance of a mother.”
"So there are so many strange women in this world." Xiahou Juan praised. Brother Zhao, isn't she one of the top ten beauties on the Beauty Rankings? Where are the other two?"
Cao Qinghe also looked at Zhao Mu curiously.
" Haha!" Zhao Mu laughed out loud." The remaining two are the first and second on the Beauty Rankings!" As for people, they were far away but right in front of him!”
In an instant.
Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan's small faces blushed at the same time.
"Brother Zhao, we are not as beautiful as you say. We are not even first or second. If you are not ashamed, we are ashamed!”
"Big Brother Zhao, this is not the ranking list set by Emperor Ling of Han. You made it up, right?”
Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan said in unison.
" Hahaha!" Zhao Mu laughed." I've told you the Beauty Rankings. Believe it or not, you can't blame me for this!"”
For a moment.
The plum forest was filled with laughter.
