Du He didn't know much about the origin of beggar's chicken, nor was he interested in knowing it. He only knew that it was easy to make and tasted very special.
This was exactly what he remembered when he invited Cheng Yiyue to a restaurant to eat roast chicken, so he planned to make some beggar's chickens himself to try.
At the same time, he ordered the old man to go to the kitchen to slaughter the chicken, and arranged to remove only the internal organs, chop off the head, and simply clean it without removing the hair.
Then he personally used water and mud in the yard. The servants were a little dumbfounded when they saw it. The dignified second young master actually played with mud?
After the old man had the five chickens brought up, Du He went to the pond in the backyard and got some wide lotus leaves, and then wrapped them in mud layer by layer, even filling the area where the internal organs were removed.
, and finally picked it up with lotus leaves and tied it up.
The old man was a little dumbfounded: "Master, this...can't be such a waste!"
"Go aside, don't disturb me!" Du He waved his hand and threw a lump of mud into the old man's mouth.
The old man suddenly looked confused.
In a short time, the five chickens were wrapped in mud. When the fire came up, Du He personally put the five lumps of mud on the fire and baked them.
Nearly half an hour later, I saw that the wet mud had dried and turned into dark gray.
I just heard Du He say, "Okay!"
Then he threw a piece of mud on the ground, picked up a stone and knocked it. The lotus leaves on the outside had long been burnt and disappeared. The hard shell cracked, revealing the white and tender chicken inside. A strong fragrance spread everywhere.
Come on, everyone around could not help but swallow their saliva.
When the old man saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "It's all gone. The young master wants to eat chicken. What are you looking at!"
Everyone ran away in a hurry.
Du He squatted on the ground, pulled off a piece and put it in his mouth, nodding with satisfaction: "It's done!"
After saying that, he picked up the chicken and put it on the plate, then took off another piece, dipped it in the dipping sauce that had been prepared beside it, and then ate it, it was a satisfying experience.
Du He turned around and saw the old man drooling, and said funnyly: "What are you looking at? I can only eat one, and the rest are one for you and two for Lu Bu!"
Old Fu was overjoyed and suddenly asked: "What about the remaining one?"
"It's for Miss Cheng...just ask her to come out to eat chicken!" Du He said.
He has been busy here all afternoon, but he has not seen Cheng Yiyue. Is this girl so sleepy?
The old man hurriedly went to call Cheng Yiyue, and after a while he hurried back and shouted: "Master, it's bad, Miss Cheng is missing."
"Huh?" Du He was stunned, "Have you looked for it?"
"I've searched for her, but no one in the house has seen her."
Du He thought to himself, this girl is so dishonest, she ran away without saying a word?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming from above my head: "What kind of chicken is this? Why is it so fragrant, Du He, I want to eat it too."
Swish.
A figure jumped down from the tree.
It was none other than Cheng Yiyue.
Du He pointed to the two-foot-tall tree and asked: "You... why are you running up here if you don't stay in your room?"
Cheng Yiyue said with some embarrassment: "I... used to sleep on the mountain. I'm used to sleeping in the trees. I accidentally fell asleep just now."
Du He: "..."
With that said, Cheng Yiyue hurriedly opened one by herself, took only one bite, and said loudly: "Wow, it's so delicious. This chicken is not greasy at all, and it is much more delicious than the roast chicken at noon!"
As he said that, he looked at Du He curiously.
…
Dark night has fallen, and in the huge Chang'an City, thousands of lights are on.
In front of a courtyard, it was extremely lively.
Changsun Chong directed several servants to hang a huge and heavy plaque above the gate. Surrounded by him were Fang Yiai and Gao Jixi. The former four evils of Chang'an have now become the Iron Triangle. Since Duhe became independent,
, these three guys are becoming more and more united.
No, as soon as they received Changsun Chong's invitation today, Fang Yiai and Gao Xingyi came rushing over.
Fang Yiai looked at the huge plaque and read: "Shuquge, Brother Zhangsun, what does this mean?"
Changsun Chong said proudly: "Don't you know? Yesterday, more than 200 copies of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" I brought were sold out in less than a moment. Today, I brought more than 20 copies, and they were still sold out very quickly.
I went there, and the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in Cuiwei Tower couldn't be sold immediately, hahaha... You didn't see Du He's appearance. The boy almost cried with anger, but he had no choice, so I
I plan to set up Shuquge to make reading fun. I have already recruited more than a hundred people to copy "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" every day and make money every day!"
"Shuquge, what a great name!"
"This name is very unique!"
Everyone praised the name Shuquge.
At this time, someone next to me shouted: "His Royal Highness is here!"
Changsun Chong and others hurried forward to greet him. Needless to say, it was none other than Prince Li Chengqian who came.
Li Chengqian stepped forward, and Changsun Chong introduced Shuqu Pavilion again.
Li Chengqian listened and kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, this Shuquge has an elegant name. It is much more elegant than Du He's Datang Study. Besides, the books sold in Shuquge are cheaper than those in Datang Study. Presumably, Du He
It must be very uncomfortable, well done!”
"Yes, I just want to give Du He some color!"
"Look how arrogant Du He is this time!"
…
"Shuqu Pavilion?" Du He smiled and said, "Changsun Chong said that he was engaged in piracy business, but he was not unjust at all. He just copied the young master's "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and imitated it.
Tang Shuzhai has established a Shuqu Pavilion, which is really getting more and more interesting."
Yang Hao said eagerly: "Yes, county son, this Changsun Chong has gone too far. Not only that, he also bought the Deyue Building opposite Cuiwei Building, and also found a few storytellers to talk there all day long.
"The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Now, Cuiweilou's business has also been affected. The most important thing is that our "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" cannot be sold..."
The more Yang Hao talked, the more uncomfortable he became.
He wanted to go back on his word, but it was written in black and white on the contract that he must purchase 1,000 books. If he couldn't sell even one, he would suffer a big loss.
Du He looked calm and asked: "How long until our contract expires?"
"There are still 15 days."
Du He thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you lose money. After all, you are the first dealer of Datang Study. When I take care of Changsun Chong, you will make a fortune."
"
Yang Hao almost cried: "County son, but Chang Sun Chong, yesterday I heard that he only found more than a hundred people, but today I heard that he found more, a total of more than two hundred people, working day and night.
I started copying "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and there were dozens of books in one day..."
Seeing Du He's calm expression, Yang Hao was unsure.
