"Okay!"

A white-bearded old official wiped his tears: "The old man has never eaten such a delicious meal in his life." ”

This is definitely not the trust that Wang Xiao paid for.

People really haven't eaten stir-fried vegetables, haven't eaten soy sauce, haven't eaten and are willing to put oil and various seasonings, and the cooking skills are so excellent and delicious.

Datang's catering is either steamed, boiled, or grilled.

If you want to say that it is delicious or not, it must not be as good as stir-frying. Not to mention Wang Xiao, a skilled chef.

Stir-fry with soy sauce to color and flavor.

Coupled with Wang Xiao's unstingy use of soybean oil, it is really a mouth full of oil, and his teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

In this era when there is no food to speak of, Wang Xiao's small roadside stall quickly became popular.

Those who can spend dozens of dollars to eat a dish are at least merchants in the West Market.

These people went everywhere, and naturally passed on the news that Zhen Yuxuan had delicious food everywhere.

No matter what era it is, when fame rises, business is easy to do.

Wang Xiao is not only overcrowded here every day, but also dignitaries and nobles from various squares come to order meals.

Needless to say, it was naturally Wang Xiao who sorted out the takeaway business that only appeared in the Song Dynasty in advance.

When the business is good, Wang Xiao himself will not be busy.

He hired a few long-term workers to be responsible for washing the dishes, serving the dishes, and cleaning. Of course, there is also a special takeaway brother, who follows the servants of various dignitaries and nobles to carry food boxes and deliver them to the door.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it comes to the first month of the first year of Zhenguan.

After the New Year's holiday, Wang Xiao opened here again.

"This is Zhen Yuxuan?"

A young man dressed in white, wearing a leather robe, with a beard on his face, and a layer of calluses on his hands, walked in and looked around, "It's quite warm." ”

"Brother, it's too small here." The little fat man with white skin and long beard who followed in was not very satisfied at first sight.

The store quickly crowded in with a dozen people, occupying all the tables in the store.

These people are extraordinary, and the long worker in charge of greeting hurriedly went to the back to call Wang Xiao.

"When you go to Youzhou, you should attack the heart and attack the city."

Wang Xiao was deaf and clear-sighted, and he heard the words over there before he arrived in the front hall.

As soon as the others came out, there were two strong men standing beside him, one on the left and one on the right.

Except for the two young men who were sitting at the table and talking, everyone else was staring at Wang Xiao with vigilant eyes.

And Wang Xiao could still feel that there was a heavy footstep sound on the street outside.

When someone was about to cross Wang Xiao and go to the backyard, the bearded young man finally raised his head and said, "Don't be embarrassed by the shopkeeper." ”

Wang Xiao took a deep look at him and knew his identity.

This is naturally not because young people carry ID cards.

There are so many guards in the store, all of them have a murderous aura, and they have obviously been on the battlefield.

plus the young man's demeanor, the skin on his body, the jade pendant on his waist or something

Well, that's all. What really confirmed the identity was that the young man was wearing a pair of apricot-yellow boots on his feet.

The so-called dragon robes are not all yellow, and the ancestral dragon at the beginning was wearing a black robe.

In the Western Han Dynasty, he lived in water and served black.

It was not until the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty that he abandoned black and turned red. When it came to the Jin Dynasty, it was also bright red.

The yellow robe originated from Emperor Wen of Sui, but at that time it was not forbidden for people to wear yellow clothing.

But when he came to Li Yuan, he issued an edict that 'it is forbidden for Shishu to use red and yellow as clothes.' 'It's true that yellow is disabled in the folk.

The young man was wearing a pair of apricot yellow boots on his feet, and apart from Li Yuan, it could only be Li Shimin.

Even if he didn't mention his age or something, Li Yuan would not have a chance to leave the palace.

Therefore, this young man with a beard can only be Li Shimin.

"This brother." People wear white dragon fish suits, Wang Xiao will not take the initiative to lean on to lick the dog, he is not that kind of person, "The small shop is newly opened after the festival, and you are the first batch of guests to come to the door." I'm invited to this table today. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin became a little interested, "It's a little bold, but there is wine to drink?" ”

Wang Xiao sneered in his heart, now that alcohol is banned in Guanzhong, do you want to trap me?

"I still have a few jars of wine saved from a few years ago, if you don't dislike it, you can take it and drink it."

"It's bright." Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "I heard that your delicious dishes are a must in Chang'an City." Today, I just have to send my friends out of the city, so I came to you to try it. ”

Wang Xiao's gaze fell on the fat man.

There are a lot of fat people in Chang'an City, and there may be those who can sit next to Li Shimin, naturally only his brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji.

"It's not my own boasting. The food, color, flavor and shape of our restaurant are all top-notch. The two of you will know it as soon as you taste it. ”

"In that case." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand: "Then the store will go and prepare." ”

Wang Xiao returned to the stove and began to cook, and several strong men followed in to check around, and at the same time stared at him tightly.

For these, Wang Xiao directly didn't see it.

Kitchen knives and shovels dance together, and soy sauce swims with soybean oil.

specialized

The bellows were pulled whirring, and the fire was shining and sizzling under the fire and oil.

There are no vegetables in winter.

At most, it's the garlic sprouts and soybean sprouts that I send by myself, and there are some old onions and leeks or something. But there is no shortage of meat.

Dogwood is spicy, and pepper is hemp.

Coupled with the spices bought from Hu Shang, combined with soy sauce and salt, and a large spoon of soybean oil to stir-fry, it is really fragrant.

Wiping a bead of sweat, Wang Xiao, who was preparing the next dish, noticed something. Turning to look behind him, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't know when they were standing at the door.

"It smells so good."

The royal cuisine is not necessarily much better than the folk food, and the materials and processing methods are similar. And the royal family is afraid of poisoning, so they basically eat cold.

So now Li Shimin looks like he is about to drool, and it is not unusual to look at the fragrant green onion fried mutton in the pot.

Wang Xiao smiled, turned around and went to the cabinet on the side and took out a large plate of sauced beef.

Drop the knife like a fly, and cut it into slices on the cutting board. Then sprinkled with chili oil made of chopped green onions and dogwood, and served a plate of soy sauce directly to Li Shimin and them.

"Two days ago, there was a farmer outside the city who fell and killed his cow, so I went to buy some beef and came back to make sauce beef. Taste it first. ”

The Tang Dynasty forbade the killing of cattle because the most important cultivation of cattle was the large livestock.

If you want to eat beef, you can only report to the yamen that the cow is sick and died, fell to death or something. You have to draw a sum of money.

A guard stepped forward to try it, but was pushed away by Li Shimin.

He grabbed a slice of beef with his chopsticks and dipped some soy sauce into his mouth. After a while of chewing, he closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and licked his mouth, then picked up the second and third pieces

"Brother, let me taste it too."

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little anxious, so he found a pair of chopsticks and started directly.

The two of you are happy to eat back and forth, and it doesn't take much effort to eat a large piece of cut sauce beef.

Then, Wang Xiao put down the shovel, "It's okay here, you can eat it." ”

Eight dishes and a bowl of soup were placed on the table, steaming hot and fragrant.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji don't need anyone to try the dishes, they take the chopsticks and open them directly.

Compared to scrambled eggs with leeks, roasted tofu or something. Li Shimin's favorite thing is to eat fried lamb with green onions.

The spicy and fresh aroma, as well as the rich flavor of the sauce and the taste of the grease in his mouth, made him fascinated by it.

"This kind of ability should be in the Shangshi Bureau."

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Wang Xiao's craftsmanship and felt that he should be asked to be an imperial chef.

The eldest grandson Wuji's focus was different, after he was full of wine and food, he put down his chopsticks and stretched out his finger to point to the plate with a thick layer of grease, "Shopkeeper, you don't need money for household oil?" And how do I taste different from meat oil? ”

Wang Xiao didn't care, came over and sat down on the side, "I don't use meat oil, it's vegetable oil squeezed from soybeans." The amount of beans is large, and there is a lot of oil and water squeezed out. It's much cheaper than meat oil, so of course it's willing to use it. ”

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and looked at him in amazement, "Soybeans can be squeezed for oil?" How much oil and water is produced? ”

"One stone and nine pounds. The soybean oil is a little fishy, but it's fine to deal with. After oil extraction, the bean dregs can be used to make soy products such as tofu, and can also be made into soybean cakes to feed horses and cattle. ”

Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji looked at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

The yield of soybeans is very high, and it is a staple food in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even in the Han Dynasty.

Now the amount of planting is not small, if the amount of oil is so high, the okara can also be eaten to feed cattle and horses, it is definitely a big baby.

Li Shimin subconsciously asked, "Your oil extraction technique"

The eldest grandson Wuji winked and motioned for him to come.

After all, this kind of ability to make a lot of money is enough to prosper a family. Of course, this kind of thing is the top priority of others, how can it be easy to tell others.

"The art of oil extraction is just a trivial matter, and I have always thought that I can give it to the imperial court in exchange for a reward. But I never found a chance. ”

Wang Xiao's words made the eldest grandson Wuji's face darken. Doesn't this guy understand the value in this?

Li Shimin became interested: "What kind of reward do you want?" ”

"I'm a single family, and the court didn't give me any land. I thought I could change the manor with the art of oil extraction. ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, because of the large population loss, the Juntian system was adopted. Families have access to the fields.

However, Chang'an City is a narrow township, and Wang Xiao's identity is an industrial and commercial company that must be halved, and he is still a detached family. The final result was that he was not given the land, and it was replaced by other compensation.

Wang Xiao wants to have a manor of his own, and he can do even more.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji said compassionately, "The art of oil extraction belongs to Sinong Temple." In my opinion, this oil-squeezing technique you have made should give two sheep and fifteen thousand dollars. ”

Well, if you offer the technology of oil extraction to Sinong Temple, it is to reward fifteen yuan and two sheep.

As for the manor or something, that's hehe.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and wiped his face, and his face changed instantly.

"What did you say, brother? What is the art of oil extraction? Without this thing, you've drunk too much. ”
