After a period of fermentation, Qi Yuan's reputation became more and more famous.
Since at the very beginning, he portrayed himself as a person who was not afraid of dangers and walked in the wilderness to find more food for the human race. In fact, he did guide people to know more things to eat.
Of course, the most important thing is that he taught people to make more convenient cooking utensils and how to use more seasoning materials, including the reasonable combination of some medicinal materials and ingredients, which can not only improve the taste of food, but also ensure rich nutrition.
.
In fact, people in this era have gradually improved their pursuit of food, and have successively explored methods such as boiling, pickling, steaming, and roasting. Common pigs, dogs, chickens, sheep, cows, and horses have long been available.
Buffalo and deer have been domesticated.
In particular, people often hunt on a large scale and use nets to capture all kinds of prey, from elephants and rhinoceroses to various small and medium-sized animals, etc., and you can even see some rare things from time to time, such as similar ones.
The dragon killed at Sanshan Pass.
After experiencing various kinds of meat that he had never eaten before, such as elephants and rhinoceros, Qi Yuan finally saw that people are now involved in a wide range of food. He did not believe that the people of Sanshanguan would give up such a big dragon and not eat it.
.
After Huang Feihu, Qi Yuan got acquainted with some ministers of the DPRK and China who came to visit him.
It has to be said that the ancients valued reputation very much, and the reputation created during this period of Qi and Yuan Dynasty was enough to attract some ministers from the DPRK and China to come and make friends.
Some people with strong financial resources and willingness to befriend him would also give him some rare food from monster beasts. After trying it himself, Qi Yuan found that these monster meats contained powerful vitality and were very beneficial to the body after eating them.
After all, the human race has not been the protagonist of the world for too long, and all kinds of creatures on the ancient land have emerged in endlessly.
Therefore, to a certain extent, it was an eye-opener for Qi Yuan. However, he is a professional chef after all, and creating new dishes is also an ability that a chef should have, so this does not trouble him.
Under Qi Yuan's undisguised teachings, the food culture of this era suddenly experienced a huge leap forward, causing the entire Chaoge City and the people nearby to have a craze to explore more delicious food. At the same time, various
The frequent trading of food ingredients also made Chaoge City more prosperous in a short period of time.
Therefore, when his reputation is big enough, especially those who have gained practical benefits after learning from him, they are also willing to praise Qi Yuan.
As a result, people slowly transformed him from a respected elder into a sage.
Yes, he is a wise man.
Although Qi Yuan is far from being as good as the ancient Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs, his courage to travel the wilderness in search of ingredients, coupled with the fact that he widely taught people various skills during this period, has greatly improved people's quality of life.
He is called a sage.
Of course, a certain shameless old man would never admit that the time he really spent walking alone in the wilderness was only one day.
There are not many people today who are widely praised as sages.
Even Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, inherited the efforts of his ancestors for several generations. He also treated Xian Xian and worked hard to govern, and spent decades developing Xiqi. Only then was he called the Great Xian by the people of Xiqi.
Qi Yuan has gained a reputation in just a short period of time. It has to be said that a certain respected old man played a great role in secretly guiding public opinion and often deliberately creating a positive image on some occasions.
Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big momentum.
Of course, his reputation only spreads around Chaoge. It will take a long time for it to spread to further places.
Just when Qi Yuan was happily enjoying people's adulation, he met someone he didn't expect.
Looking at the old man in front of him, who had the same white beard and white hair as him, Qi Yuan was stunned.
"Jiang Shang, you said your name is Jiang Shang?"
"Yes, it's Jiang Shang."
Qi Yuan looked at the elderly couple in front of him, especially the old man named Jiang Shang, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get there.
Originally, I had planned to find an opportunity to secretly inquire about Jiang Ziya's whereabouts to see if he had come to Chaoge so that he could set up a relationship with someone.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya himself came to the door today.
After some conversation, Qi Yuan learned the reason why Jiang Ziya and his wife came to him.
It turns out that since Jiang Ziya went down to Kunlun Mountain to join his sworn brother Song Yiren, although he married a wife with Song Yiren's help, he was despised by his wife Ma for doing nothing all day long. He was afraid that Song Yiren would lose his livelihood after his death, so he asked Jiang Ziya to do something.
make a living.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ziya was not born to do business, so no matter what business he did, he always lost money.
First, he sold sieves, but not a single one was sold. Then, with the help of Song Yiren, he sold noodles, but it also failed. Qi Yuan's reputation happened to be spread in Chaoge City, and Song Yiren wanted Jiang Ziya to be the owner of the winery.
To make a living, Ma planned to ask Jiang Ziya to learn cooking skills from Qi Yuan, so as not to lose the business again.
It was just that he was afraid that Jiang Ziya couldn't speak and learned the crafts, so Ma followed him in person.
Qi Yuan looked at Mr. Ma and thought to himself, is this the sixty-eight-year-old yellow flower girl?
Hey, it's really hard for Song Yiren to find Jiang Ziya such a wife who matches his age.
How is he like himself? In his previous life, he only held hands with other girls a few times. As for this life, he is not as good as Jiang Ziya. His hair has turned white and he has not even gotten a wife yet.
Putting aside the emotion in his heart and understanding what the two people in front of him meant, Qi Yuan nodded and said with a look of compassion on his face: "There is no problem in learning from me, and there is no need to prepare any rituals. I
What we do is to enable the general public to live a better life, not to seek personal gain for ourselves."
Qi Yuan shamelessly promoted his noble character... Well, he promoted his noble character to Jiang Ziya again. Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up when he heard it, and Qi Yuan was very satisfied with his expression of excitement as he met the great virtuous man.
"Well, let's do that."
Qi Yuan said to Jiang Ziya: "I see that you are not young anymore, and you live far away. It is too hard to travel back and forth every day. I still have a vacant room in my yard. I will tidy it up later. You can do it during this time."
Stay here with me."
"Thank you so much sir."
Jiang Ziya happily handed over his hands and thanked him.
Although he has a good faith, he is not willing to run nearly a hundred miles back and forth every day, so he is extremely grateful to Qi Yuan for taking care of him.
"but."
Qi Yuan frowned slightly: "You have also seen that these people outside are here to learn skills from me. If everyone asks me to provide ingredients, I do not have the ability.
You can only rely on yourself to prepare the things."
There is no problem in learning a craft from him, but there are too many people, and Qi Yuan does not have the huge financial and material resources to supply the ingredients consumed by so many people every day, let alone all kinds of cooking utensils.
Jiang Ziya said quickly: "When we came here, my sworn brother had already prepared it."
"That's good."
Qi Yuan ordered several young disciples to prepare a house for Jiang Ziya for him to live in.
In this way, in the following days, while Qi Yuan taught Jiang Ziya various cooking methods, he also planned to teach Jiang Ziya how to make dark dishes, which would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
Of course, he also did not forget to show off his acting skills frequently. When he had nothing to do, he showed his noble and upright and great sentiments in front of Jiang Ziya, which earned him many praises from Old Man Jiang.
