Yang Fan smiled and said: "If the princess likes it, I can just give her a set. Why bother to queue up."
Princess Le'an waved her hands quickly and said: "No, no. The emperor has very strict requirements on me. I will never accept gifts from my ministers."
Yang Fan nodded. He knew that Chongzhen worked hard and wanted to rectify corruption in the officialdom. The royal family naturally had to set an example.
So he said: "Well, let's give the princess a cost price. There is no reason to make royal money."
Princess Le'an did not refuse this time and accepted. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you so much, General Yang."
Yang Fan clapped his hands and Zhang Cheng came in from the door.
"Go and inform Cheng Yu that the landlord of the community is not selling it, so just mark it as sold."
"No, sir"
Zhang Cheng turned around and went out to send someone to inform him.
At this time, the new dishes were also prepared and the workers brought them out.
In addition to the dishes of the whole duck feast, there are also several special dishes of our restaurant.
After the shopkeeper made it, he tasted it privately with the master chef before putting it on the plate.
These dishes made with duck scraps are very delicious. Usually these offal and duck feet are thrown away. I didn't expect that they can be made so delicious.
The master chef is a professional, and you will know as soon as you taste it. These dishes are definitely not something that the customers will make difficult for you, and you can tell from the taste.
It is so delicious, it must have been made through repeated improvements. The production method, ingredient configuration, and taste quality have all been perfected.
The master chef lamented that he had really underestimated the chefs in the world. He thought he knew everything about Ming cuisine, but only today did he realize that there is a truth in the world. It can be said that you are always learning, and you must not be complacent.
The shopkeeper and the master chef gave Yang Fan a deep bow and said respectfully: "It is true that the shop does not know how to cook these dishes. The shop admits its failure, so let the waiter go down and pick them under the guise."
Yang Fan laughed and said: "I am here for dinner today, not to destroy your sign. Today I just saw that the variety of duck dishes you have is monotonous, and I am itching for a while. I will give you some advice and entertain a few friends to have something fresh. You guys also
Don’t take it seriously.”
The boss and master were both ashamed and grateful for a moment.
The boss said: "Today's meal is a small tribute to the shop. From now on, as long as you come here, the shop will give you a free meal. I have a request, please agree to it."
Yang Fan said: "Forget it, it's free of charge. If you don't pay for meals, you won't feel comfortable eating. If you have anything, just tell me."
"The store hopes that these dishes can be listed in our store in the future. I hope you will allow me."
"Well, this is okay. But it's not allowed to be spread outside."
"Definitely, definitely. It will never be spread."
After the boss and the master chef left with all their thanks, Yang Fan greeted everyone to dinner.
Xiao Niangpi noticed the mustard duck feet first and looked at it curiously.
Yang Fan suppressed a bad smile and didn't say anything. He watched her pick up a piece of duck paw and put it towards her mouth.
He was still saying: "It's great, it's boneless, so you don't have to spit out the bones."
The duck feet are crisp and delicious in the mouth, I just want to praise it.
Suddenly, a super strong spicy smell rushed straight to my forehead.
"Ah!" Xiao Niangpi screamed and closed her eyes tightly. Tears flowed out.
Yang Fan thought to himself that this mustard is yellow mustard native to China. If it is green mustard from the West, it will definitely leave an unforgettable impression on the girl's skin.
Mustard is divided into yellow mustard and green mustard. These are two completely different things.
Chinese yellow mustard is ground mustard seeds into powder. Green mustard is a spicy mustard originating from Europe. It is made from horseradish and turns green after adding pigments. Its pungent smell is stronger than yellow mustard, and it has a unique aroma.
The sushi we had was made with green wasabi.
But the traditional dish mustard duck feet uses our own yellow mustard.
The princess and the consort found out that the little girl cried after taking a bite of duck feet. They were wondering.
Then, Yang Fan screamed and saw Yang Fan grinning.
The girl's little leather boots stepped on Yang Fan's toes under the table.
Xiao Niangpi took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "This duck paw is delicious. Although it is a bit spicy, it is very spicy. You guys should try it too."
Several people put a small piece on the plate and tasted it. Suddenly, everyone exclaimed.
"Ah! It's so amazing, I feel like my head is flying." Lin Yueru exclaimed.
"Wow, I'm sweating. Why is it so hot?" The princess also stuck out her tongue and blew haha.
The prince-in-law burst into tears as he said, "Brother Yang, this dish is spicy, but it is very enjoyable and tasty."
Xiao Niangpi also said: "It's strange, this dish is so spicy that I burst into tears. But I still feel like eating it. It's really strange."
Yang Fan said with a smile: "This dish is spicy, crispy, tender and delicious. Duck paws are rich in collagen, which is as nutritious as bear paws of the same quality. Palms are the basic organ for exercise, with many tendons, thick skin and no meat.
If there is more, it will be chewy, if the skin is thick, it will contain soup, and if there is less meat, it will be easy to taste. Adding some sugar or vinegar to the mustard can buffer the spiciness and make it more flavorful."
Although several people did not understand what collagen was, it did not prevent them from understanding what he meant. Everyone was surprised that this humble duck paw had the same composition as a bear's paw. It was a pity to throw away duck paws before.
Xiao Niangpi picked up another piece of salted duck liver, chewed it and nodded. She said: "I think this dish is very suitable for making porridge for breakfast. This salted duck liver tastes delicate, soft, glutinous and tender. It tastes like a real dish.
Good food.”
Yang Fan nodded secretly in his mind. When it came to eating, Xiao Niangpi was a real gourmet expert. Her evaluation of food could often capture the three tastes.
Yang Fan knew that the consorts of the Ming Dynasty were all descendants of wealthy businessmen. He asked Gong Yonggu, "What kind of business does the consort's family do?"
"My family is in the dye business. It's just a small business. It's not a big business."
Yang Fan nodded, dyes are huge profits.
Every household needs to dye cloth to make clothes, and dyeing workshops are also widely used.
The price of this thing is not transparent, and the price of some special dyes is astronomical. No wonder his family asked him to choose a consort. This business cannot be done safely without a strong backend.
Yang Fan likes traditional Chinese colors very much.
The atmosphere is beautiful, dignified and luxurious, and has a noble aesthetic temperament.
Comparing with the color matching of chemical dyes from the West, one is shallow, one is thick, one is deep, and the other is glamorous. Chinese colors have a profound heritage.
Only when you see the prosperity of the world can you know the beauty of the country.
The Chinese colors that have been handed down for thousands of years have amazed time and softened the years of every Chinese.
"When I have time, I will visit the Prince Consort's dyeing shop. I have some dye formulas. If the Prince Consort can make them, my military uniform cloth can be placed at the Prince Consort's for printing and dyeing in the future."
Gong Yonggu said in surprise: "General Yang is welcome to visit at any time. The Gong family will definitely give the general a satisfactory color."
This is big business.
Military uniforms need to be uniform, and tens of thousands of pieces of cloth are needed to make them. This requires a large amount of printing and dyeing.
He was also a little touched in his heart, Yang Fan was taking care of his business.
Of course, it was also because of the fact that Mrs. Yang and the princess were in love with each other.
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say. I believe that with the strength of the Gong family in the printing and dyeing industry in the capital, there will be no problem."
After a lunch, several people had a great time. Several girls drank so much that their faces turned red. The rice wine had a strong stamina. When the cold wind came out, they felt a little heady.
The princess took the little girl's hand and said, "Bingchan, I wonder how well your house is doing. There are crazy rumors outside that it is the most comfortable house that has ever been seen in the capital."
"Don't worry, my house is the best. I want to move in. It will be open for viewing after the opening ceremony. You will know then."
