Ye Chengen and the others were stunned by this sentence of the gangster prince, since Princess Taiping took the throne, democratic speech has been much freer, such a statement is not considered to be contempt for the royal family will not be convicted, but dare to say it directly, it is really the first time to see it, think about it carefully, this gangster prince is really just right.

Ye Chengen smiled: "Miss Gu is really interesting, if the first wife of Jiang Sanye is still here." This analogy is quite appropriate, but unfortunately, Jiang Sanye is old now, and half of the business affairs are in the hands of this eldest young master, and the other half is in charge of his current wife. When Jiang Sanye Immortal goes, it is not yet known who will be the head of this family!"

Gu Mingzhen also smiled: " Just now I saw that his cheekbones are bright and plump, this is a noble appearance, and the tail of the eyes is particularly full, which means that his opportunity is different from ordinary people, he is not willing to be mediocre in this life, and the family business will be stable and prosperous in the future, his eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, the eyes are black and white, and the plump is not broken. ”

Several people at the table were aroused by her statement, and Ye Chengen put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly: "I didn't know that Miss Gu was so knowledgeable, and even knew how to do it, this Jiang Da Shao left home to work alone in the year of her hair, and now I am afraid that her family is quite rich, and she is really a young man, so why not help the girl take a look at it?"

How could Gu Mingzhen look at this, what she said was just what she saw from the Internet in her previous life, not to mention that this Young Master Jiang lost his mother when he was young, not only could he grow up smoothly in the hands of his stepmother, not to mention that he had a large amount of assets, but also steadily rejected half of the Spiegel Building, obviously not a good corner, and it was only a matter of time before he succeeded the head of the family.

"How can I be a weak woman, but I listened to it after my father last time, and I just read it according to the book, the purpose of my visit this time, presumably Shopkeeper Chen has already mentioned it to Shopkeeper Ye, this is the condiment I want to sell to your store. ”

She picked up the back basket on the floor, took out the two crockpots, placed them on the table, and lifted the lids!

One of the two jars contained a yellow powdery object that was extremely finely ground, and the other jar looked similar to soy sauce, but was lighter in color.

Gu Mingzhen pushed the two crockpots in front of Ye Chengen, "Shopkeeper Ye to try the taste?"

Ye Chengen had never seen Gu Mingzhen before, even if these two cans of things were brought by her, they could be said to be of unknown origin.

Ye Chengen smiled, stretched out his hand to summon a little second brother, and asked him to bring two pairs of dishes and chopsticks and a spoon.

The yellow powder was put in a brown spoon, and it became more and more delicate, Gu Mingzhen saw that he was about to eat the two-course dose of chicken powder at once, and hurriedly stopped it: "This chicken powder tastes extremely fresh, if you try it, you can dip it a little, you don't need so much." ”

When Ye Chengen heard this, he soaked the chopsticks in the cup, dipped a little powder and put it in his mouth.

The powder melts in your mouth, with a slight saltiness and an indescribable aroma, which is completely different from the condiments I have tried before, and it is eye-catching.

The salty taste was fleeting, leaving only the umami around the tip of the tongue, Ye Chengen squinted slightly and savored the taste, Chen Yu'an saw this and knew that Gu Mingzhen's condiment had entered his cousin's eyes.

After Ye Chengen finished tasting this taste, he used a spoon to fill a little Maggi fresh from the crockpot and squeezed it in his hand, and asked, "This powder is called chicken powder just now, so what is this called?"

"It's delicious. ”

"Maggi fresh?"

Ye Chengen put the spoon into his mouth, the reddish-brown liquid slowly flowed into his mouth, the taste was slightly weird for the first time, he could eat a little soy sauce, but it was countless times more delicious than ordinary soy sauce, and when he swallowed this beautiful taste, he felt that this weird taste was not so difficult to accept in front of umami, anyway, he himself was used to eating this taste.

"Sure enough, it's very fresh, it's just a meal now, just use this seasoning to try the dish, what does Miss Gu think?"

Gu Mingzhen was originally going to sell condiments, Ye Chengen was able to take the initiative to propose a food trial, and there would be no big problem if the chicken powder and Maggi fresh were sold, the point was how to negotiate the price after the food tasting.

The lobby on the first floor was already full, and when she was wandering outside before, Gu Mingzhen took advantage of the time to buy snacks and asked the small vendors on the side of the road, this Jixiangju has a very good reputation in Chungu County, whether it is a child of a family or a pawn of a peddler, Jixiangju will greet him with a smile, although the price of the dishes is slightly expensive, but the ingredients are very fresh, and there have never been any bad rumors.

The group went downstairs and headed for the kitchen.

The kitchen of Jixiangju is not in the building, but in the courtyard behind the whole restaurant.

Although it is now winter, the little second brother who runs vegetables is still thinly dressed and sweat is oozing from his head, which is enough to prove how good the business of this restaurant is.

Ye Chengen walked in the front, and people kept greeting him along the way, he smiled and nodded in response, and when he arrived in the courtyard, the movement in the kitchen was clearly transmitted, Gu Mingzhen and the three of them walked at the end, Gu Cheng pulled Gu Mingzhen with one hand, and his palms were full of sweat.

Gu Mingzhen shook her hand slightly and gave silent encouragement.

A few people entered the kitchen, there were a total of two chefs in it, they were busy in full swing, and there was no reaction to the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper coming in, and the rest of the people just said hello and put themselves into the busyness again, only a little brother who played lotus on one side took the time to come over.

"What do you command, shopkeeper?"

Ye Chengen waved his hand: "It's nothing, you go and see if you can vacate a stove." ”

"Gotta do it!"

The little brother turned around and ran in, Ye Chengen smiled slightly: "I'm a little busy now, the two masters are busy stir-frying, and I'm afraid that the others are not good, and I will bury Miss Gu's good condiments, the girl can make such wonderful condiments, presumably the cooking skills are very exquisite, come one?"

Gu Mingzhen smiled: "It's really amazing to be exquisite, but I can barely enter it." ”

The two chatted a few words here, and the little brother over there had already found someone to vacate a stove inside.

The kitchen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a bit similar to the design of modern hotel meals, several stoves are lined up in a row, and behind the stove is a slippery board tabletop.

When I went to work at Sun's house in Yangliuwan before, Grandma Gu once said that the chefs of this dynasty also need arm strength and wrist strength, and I was afraid that I would expose my stuffing Gu Mingzhen didn't dare to ask, but now when I went to the back kitchen of this Jixiangju, I saw that all the pots were really not fixed on the stove, and there were two rings on the edge of the pot like the woks in the back kitchen of a modern hotel。

Gu Mingzhen turned his head and looked at the matching personnel, the oldest was in his thirties, and the youngest looked like he was only in his early tens, but they were all men, fortunately, now that the empress was in power, as long as he was good at his skills, he should not be hindered much.

"Shopkeeper Ye, can my aunt and sister take a look around here, you can rest assured that you won't disturb others. ”

Cooking is not something that can be stolen by just looking at it, and many of the ingredients are prepared in advance, so there is nothing to worry about, Ye Chengen nodded in agreement, Gu Cheng frowned, and came to a cold dish master who was plating.

Gu Mingzhen followed Ye Chengen and Chen Yu'an to the stove, and looked casually, there are not many seasonings for cooking, but judging from the level of this dynasty, the preparation is quite complete, and it is neatly stacked on the stove with small bowls.

The cutting master in front of the board had stopped his work and waited aside.

"Miss Gu, take a look, what side dish you want to use, just take it. Ye Chengen stood with his hands clasped together.

Gu Mingzhen slipped to the shelf behind the board in a few steps and looked at it.

Jixiangju is worthy of being a big restaurant in the county, there are a lot more dishes on the shelves than when the Sun family held a banquet in Yangliuwan, and there are even a lot of out-of-season vegetables, Gu Mingzhen picked a circle, and finally chose to make a braised pork, she loved spicy food in her last life, so there are more spicy dishes, but now there are no chili peppers to use, it is better to choose a more good one, besides, this kind of thing is originally used to cook meat, and the vegetables that are out of season are rare, but they lack a taste of the season.

"Let's cook a braised pork!"

Kindly refused to help the board master, Gu Mingzhen personally picked up a piece of pork belly and began to cut it.

Ji Xiangju's selection is all the best meat, the flowers are distinct, the fat and lean meat are of equal thickness, Gu Mingzhen took the knife and made two strokes on the meat, and cut the whole piece of meat into small squares one by one.

The meat was cut, and someone next to him took out the meat and washed it, Gu Mingzhen thanked him, and then found the green onion and cut it into pieces of ginger and put it on a small plate and put it aside for later use.

When the pork belly was washed and brought back, the little brother who was beating lotus had already sat in front of the stove very consciously and lit the fire.

Gu Mingzhen added water to the pot, although the fire of this kind of earthen stove is not as big as the fan in the modern kitchen, but compared to the gas stove in the ordinary people's kitchen, it is already big, the fire is fierce and quickly boils a pot of water, Gu Mingzhen poured the cut pork belly into it and began to boil the water, boiled for about two or three minutes, scooped up the meat, washed it and put it aside for later use.

Generally, home-cooked braised pork is colored with soy sauce, but Gu Mingzhen did not choose to do this, poured a spoonful of oil into the cleaned pot, and put in a handful of rock sugar to start frying the sugar color over low heat, the rock sugar gradually melted in the pot, and the color slowly deepened, and when it was fried to dark brown, the pot had already begun to smoke, Gu Mingzhen drained the chopped green onion and garlic slices, and put them in the pot with star anise to stir-fry, and after a while, the fragrance came out with the fragrance of caramel.

A chef on the stove next to him finished cooking the last dish and silently stood to the side and began to watch Gu Mingzhen stir-fry.

The pork belly was poured into the pot and stir-fried for a while, the fat in the meat was fried out, the surface was evenly colored, and the appropriate amount of salt, chicken powder, soy sauce, cooking wine, and Maggi fresh were stir-fried a few times, and then the prepared water was poured into the pot, and the lid began to simmer on high heat.
