This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not made by a cooking class, it is a modern product brought by Yaoguang. It is all canned and is steamed directly in the soup pot when eating.
Just heat it up.
Although Yaoguang always emphasizes to Yang Fan not to waste raw energy, her quality of life has always been top-notch and she does not treat herself badly at all.
Empress Zhou used a spoon to gently scoop up a tablespoon of golden viscous soup. There were many unnamed ingredients in it, which was pleasing to the eye.
Gently blow it to cool down and put it in your mouth. The tongue feels soft and tender, with a rich meaty aroma. All the taste buds of the tongue are opened. Tasting it carefully, it feels meaty but not greasy, and the taste is full of flavor.
Empress Zhou narrowed her eyes happily. She was only 17 years old this year, six months younger than Chongzhen. She came from a merchant family, and she had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. Her food was not bad.
But today, this cup of Buddha jumped over the wall and she was completely conquered.
Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan saw Queen Zhou's performance and quickly opened the lid and started eating.
Soon the two women's eyebrows were also curved and they showed happy smiles.
Chongzhen was a little confused, was this food so delicious? He was a person with a dull temperament. He had no preference for money and beautiful women. His appetite was just to eat as much as he could. He had almost no hobbies.
Finally he couldn't help but eat a spoonful.
After one sip, he couldn't believe that this thing actually tasted so wonderful. Layers of flavors rippled on the tip of his tongue, fresh, fragrant, sweet, and greasy. Only at this moment did he know the taste of fireworks in the world.
What is it, I just feel that these seventeen years have been wasted.
"Yang Qing, this, this is so delicious, I don't even know how to describe it." Chongzhen said excitedly.
Yang Fan smiled and said: "As long as your majesty likes it, all the ministers in the palace will buy it from now on." A jar of this stuff only costs about a hundred yuan, so it is really worth investing in the emperor.
"Then why are you so embarrassed to ask Yang Qing to spend money?" Chongzhen looked carefully and saw that there were all valuable and precious ingredients here. If Yang Fan opened up the supply, he didn't know how much money it would cost.
In fact, Chongzhen didn't know that many food ingredients in later generations were cultivated artificially, unlike in this era when they were all wild. To eat a bird's nest, someone had to climb a cliff.
In this era, even shiitake mushrooms are rare things. The seven shiitake mushrooms given by the emperor to a certain pavilion can be recorded in the daily notes.
"Why don't Yang Qing give the recipe to the chef and let him cook it?"
Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, then waved, and a soldier brought a cardboard box from outside. Yang Fan opened the cardboard box in front of the emperor and concubines, took out a glass can, and said to Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, I know the recipe, but it's very possible that I can't make it taste like this. What I'm eating today is prepared. You just need to put it in a cup and heat it up before eating. And this finished product is shipped from the Americas, thousands of miles away.
of."
Chongzhen, Empress Zhou and others were all shocked. Looking at the cans made of glass and the reflective tinplate seals, they felt that this thing was very high-end. It was actually served in a glass jar. It was definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Okay then, Yang Qing can just pay one box of tribute every month. Don't add too much burden to Yang Qing." Chongzhen thought of the miserable life of military households in the Ming Dynasty, and was afraid that Yang Fan would squeeze those poor people in order to please himself, so he decided
It's better to limit it.
There are only 24 bottles in a carton, which is really not a lot.
"Your Majesty, I plan to buy a piece of land in the capital and open a supermarket. When the time comes, I can bring more American freight to the capital for sale. If the volume is large, the cost will naturally come down. Maybe in the future, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty will
I can afford it too.”
When they heard that Yang Fan was going to open a market to sell this stuff, the three women were immediately overjoyed.
Although marrying an emperor means your mother will be in the world and your status is noble enough, it is not pleasant at all for the emperor to spend money on women.
However, the three of them are not short of money. As long as they sell some, they are afraid that they will not be able to eat it in the future. Otherwise, just 24 bottles a month will be enough for anyone.
"It's fine if Yang Qing wants to introduce things from overseas. I'm just worried that civil and military officials will develop extravagant habits."
"Your Majesty, there are many things overseas that our Ming Dynasty lacks, such as food."
This sentence immediately caught Chongzhen's attention. In the Ming Dynasty, there have been successive disasters, food prices have been rising, and it has become increasingly difficult for ordinary people to survive. If food can be shipped back from overseas, it can indeed greatly stabilize food prices, which is a good thing for the country.
"Yang Qing, you can indeed transport food back from overseas."
"Yes, I plan to set up overseas grain items in the supermarket, and let the sales to ordinary people be opened, and the price will be 20% lower than the market price." Yang Fan had already calculated it long ago. Shipping rice back from Vietnam is three times the profit, which is low.
Twenty percent is nothing, you can still make a lot of money.
"In that case, I will make sure that when Aiqing's supermarket opens, I will write a plaque for you."
Yang Fan was overjoyed. With the emperor's plaque, what a good advertisement it was. It was the emperor endorsing you with credit.
The little girl also rolled her eyes at Yang Fan. This guy couldn't afford to get up early, so he knew he didn't have a good idea. Today, a carriage drove into the palace, carrying food, entertainment, and so he knew he was coming.
Corrupting His Majesty's harem.
When he went to see the queen, he insisted on bringing shampoo and facial mask.
The next home-cooked dish is nothing more than a very delicious meal. Yang Fan had this recipe and said he could send it to the palace.
After finishing the meal with the emperor, a eunuch came in and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the food sent from the imperial kitchen?"
Chongzhen thought about it and said, "I'll give you a reward to eat."
Chongzhen didn't have any other intention, he just didn't want to waste food. The imperial food was good and the cost was not low. If he really wanted to throw it all away, he would still be reluctant to do so. He was worried that it would be unsafe to eat it himself. He didn't really think that anyone would dare to poison it.
The eunuchs were very happy. Not everyone had the chance to eat the imperial meal. They quickly thanked them, took the food down and ate it among themselves.
The emperor and the three concubines finished their meal and drank some drinks, feeling satisfied. Yang Fan found that people in this era were very fond of sweets.
His Majesty the Emperor likes to drink Sprite. Empress Zhou likes to drink Baishi. Concubine Yuan Gui likes orange juice. Concubine Tian is the most tasteful and even likes to drink kvass.
During this period, the palace's supplies were supplied by Yang Fan, who directly put all his military supplies on the supply list.
Every morning, groups of eunuchs and maids brushed their teeth with foam in their mouths. Toothpaste and toothbrushes were provided by Yang Fan for free. Yang Fan knew very well that after this period of time passed, they would run out of modern supplies and they would definitely not be able to bear it anymore.
On days when these things are not available, when his supermarket opens, he will naturally go to the supermarket to buy. These will be his first customers.
A plastic basin for washing your face and a set of towels for each person.
Towels were invented by the French in 1848. They were not available at this time. Towels have such a strong water-absorbing ability that once you use them once, you will never forget them again.
The daily necessities of the entire Housan Palace were supplied according to Yang Fan's military standards. Unknowingly, the emperor and the concubines had become accustomed to using these modern supplies and fell in love with the modern lifestyle.
