Chapter 45: Expressing goodwill and suffering from lovesickness
“This is weird, but it’s edible?!”
The head of the Bolingcui family couldn't believe it.
This small plate of condiments,
There are almost all kinds of yellow, red and colorful. They are completely different from the staple foods of the Tang Dynasty. Can they really be eaten?
Wouldn't it be poisonous?!
Standing in his position, with high authority, what he fears most is being poisoned to death.
Xu knew that his master was being cautious, so Jiawei held out his hand and said: "Master, please don't worry, my subordinates have already tasted this dish, and there is no problem. Moreover, this dish is very good... No, I would like to ask the master to taste it and comment on it."
“My subordinates dare not jump to conclusions!!”
With Jiawei's words, the head of the Boling Cui family felt relieved.
This person has been with him since he was weak. If he can't even trust this person, then he, the head of the family, could have changed ownership long ago.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Pick up the chopsticks, gently pick up a piece of boiled meat, dip it in peanut butter, and finally put it in your mouth.
Just bit it.
boom!!
In an instant.
The head of the Bolingcui family's eyes widened and he stood up.
Shock!!
Horrified!!
Unbelievable!!
As soon as I took a bite, an indescribable deliciousness burst out on my taste buds.
What kind of deliciousness is that?
I am afraid that all the beautiful terms in the world are difficult to describe.
It... is like food that does not exist in the world, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.
The head of the Boling Cui family didn't expect a piece of mutton to be so delicious.
Today's eating habits in the Tang Dynasty include eating large pieces of meat and drinking from large bowls.
Secondly, they like to eat half-cooked, fat and fresh food.
In order to maintain the fatness and freshness of meat, people in the Tang Dynasty often used an extremely barbaric cooking method to cook animals.
Everything is eaten as it is, without any seasoning.
At this time, with various seasonings and hot pot soup base, a piece of mutton becomes a delicacy that the Bolingcui family has never tasted.
Eat vegetables again.
The dish is okra.
Tomatoes, green peppers, sweet potatoes, onions, and peppers are commonly eaten in modern times.
In the Tang Dynasty, these vegetables were not available at all.
At this time, the most common vegetable in the Tang Dynasty was okra.
Okra is not very tasty originally and can only be used to satisfy the hunger. But now it is extremely delicious when combined with various seasonings!!
tasty!
too delicious!!
The famous dishes of our restaurant such as "Eternal Life Porridge", "Heaven and Earth Fish", "Youy Swallow", etc. are simply weak in front of this dish!!
Even people who are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas find it delicious, let alone common people who have never seen the world!!
There is no comparison at all!!
The head of the Boling Cui family finally understands why Chuhe Restaurant is so popular on Zhuque Street.
There is no conspiracy, no trouble.
There is only one concept, which is also the most original concept of cooking, it is delicious!!
"It's unbelievable that this Chuhe Restaurant has such a trump card."
The head of the Bolingcui family sighed, and then said seriously: "Who knows the rich man behind this restaurant?"
"To be able to open a store in the most conspicuous location of Zhuque Street and have such a hot pot ace, the people behind it are not simple, right?"
Jiawei sighed and said: "Master, we have checked this afternoon and there is no clue. All the clues will be disconnected at the same place. They... have the power to prevent us from investigating."
The head of the Bolingcui family disapproved and said: "That's the case. Come to think of it, who can establish a foothold in Chang'an City, how can he be an ordinary person?"
"However, since he has taken root in Chang'an City, even if he is the head dragon, he has to be careful. After all, I am not a vegetarian, even if I am the fifth surname, Qi Wang."
"Is there any way we can imitate this hot pot?!"
Faced with this popular dish, the owner of the Boling Cui family immediately chose to imitate it.
Jiawei shook his head: "Master, no."
He picked up a pinch of chili pepper.
"We have never seen this chili pepper alone, but it can sublimate the entire hot pot, making clear soup and spicy hot pot evenly matched. There has never been such a magical thing in the Tang Dynasty. I asked the businessmen from the Western Regions this afternoon, and they didn't have any.
I’ve seen this before.”
"This is just one of the seasonings. We have never seen the other seasonings, more or less, and we have no way of knowing how to imitate them."
"Even if the imitation is successful during the exploration, it will take several months to go from imitation to planting. At this time, if Chuhe Restaurant has the idea of expanding, I am afraid... they will occupy 90% of the entire Chang'an City food market. Then
Then it’s too late!!”
The head of the Boling Cui family's eyes flickered: "It seems... that Chuhe Restaurant has a special channel for dishes."
"In this way, tomorrow, you ask Cui Chengfeng to go to Chuhe Restaurant to talk. With our Cui family's city intention, no matter how much money is spent, we must get the production methods of their seasonings."
"Yes!" Jiawei nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "What if they don't agree?"
“Don’t agree??”
The head of the Bolingcui family narrowed his eyes and his gaze became dangerous: "Then, it will be their turn to regret."
"If you don't give me face no matter what, then my Cui family is not a vegetarian either!!"
………………
Vertical sun.
Chuhe Restaurant had just opened, and there was a huge crowd of people, and it was packed to the brim.
The people were attracted by this novel food.
Moreover, this restaurant adopts a graded system.
Even families with a small income can choose the lowest level of consumption and taste the taste of this hot pot.
Hot today.
There were even children from aristocratic families coming.
Fang family.
"Miss, Miss, Miss, the Chuhe Restaurant where His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu often takes you to eat recently has new dishes! Why don't we go over and try them!!"
A maid ran in panting, with expectant eyes.
Recently, my daughter Fang Miaozhu, because she could not see His Royal Highness the King of Chu, was depressed all day long, sighing, and even lost her soul in her favorite piano playing.
As the maid Xiaoxue who has grown up with the young lady, she is anxious!!
I heard that the food at Chuhe Restaurant is very delicious and makes you forget to come back. Maybe it can change your mood.
"Xiaoxue, I...have no appetite."
Fang Miaozhu shook her head, her beautiful face full of bitterness.
"Ah, miss, my God, we can see His Highness King Chu when he comes back. Why do you have to be like this all day long?"
Xiaoxue looked defeated, lowered her hands and said: "I took a look at the restaurant, and there was the chili delicacy that His Royal Highness the King of Chu took you out to eat at that time. Miss, are you really not going?"
When Fang Miaozhu heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned.
Spicy food.
She heard His Highness the King of Chu say that only he and his people had such delicious food.
Is it possible...
Is this Chuhe Restaurant related to His Highness the King of Chu?
Thinking about it carefully, when I went to Chuhe Restaurant in the past, I often saw His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughing and chatting with the boss. Sometimes the King of Chu would go to the shopkeeper to withdraw money just like his own family.
"Chu He, Chu... maybe I can really find clues to His Highness?"
Fang Miaozhu murmured.
With the channel to learn about His Highness King Chu, she suddenly felt like she had come to life.
He immediately stood up, picked up Xiaoxue, and headed to Chuhe Restaurant.
