Three days later, on the official road outside Chang'an City.

The morning sun turned the earth golden.

"Brother Chumo, it's a long way to the Western Turks, remember to protect yourself, remember my words, no matter what happens, be sure to come back within two months." Tao Ran said solemnly to Cheng Chumo.

"Don't worry, brother, today is the 21st day of the fourth lunar month, and I will definitely come back before the 21st day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar." Cheng Chumo looked at Tao Ran with a solemn look on his face, and replied seriously.

The ranks of the legations gradually disappeared from the official roads.

"Tie Niu is going out alone again, my mother is sad......" Sun said and tears fell.

"Mother doesn't cry, there is still Brother Liang and the eldest girl to accompany your ......" The eldest girl wiped her tears with a handkerchief in distress.

Recently, the people of Chang'an City discovered a strange phenomenon.

In the middle of Suzaku Avenue, a pavilion is being built, and it looks like the construction is all in the shape of officers and soldiers.

What kind of place is Suzaku Avenue, the central landmark of the entire Chang'an City, the street alone is more than 150 meters wide, paved with bluestone, tall elm trees are planted on both sides of the road, and drainage ditches are also set up.

Zhuque Avenue has been the center of the entire Chang'an City divided into two, the east is Wannian County, and the west is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

It is Tao Ran's first façade that is being built in the middle of Suzaku Avenue.

Only His Majesty Li Er had the courage to allow Tao Ran to open a shop here.

In the past few days, Tao Ran has been carefully teaching the eldest girls how to make soup dumplings in Chang'an Houfu.

Including Cuckoo, Dongmei and other Yahuan also joined in, Tao Ran took the time to let Cuckoo go to the market in the West Market, and found someone to choose a few good Yahuan.

Otherwise, once the restaurant opens, the staff gap is very large.

Tao Ran first went to Xishi to order dozens of steamers, and now the steamers are basically made of bamboo, although they are not perfect, but they are also so-so and can be used.

Then ordered coal, the price of very poor coal was outrageously high, so that Tao Ran came up with the idea of opening a mine, thinking that the sales volume was limited this season, he temporarily held back the thought in his heart.

Tao Ran went to Dongshi to order a large number of pork skins, at this time, pork was eaten by poor families, and pork was not allowed to be eaten at all.

The seller happily agreed to Tao Ran's order, and this business was like falling from the sky, although the price was not high and there was no difference between picking it up for nothing.

"Big girl, you guys have taken a closer look." Tao Ran said to the four little girls and Qianqian.

At this time, Tao Ran was teaching the four little girls and Qianqian to boil meat jelly, which was the only weapon to make soup dumplings under the existing conditions.

Only when the meat jelly is boiled can the soup be rich and fragrant.

Tao Ran cut the pork skin into very fine pieces, boiled the pot on high heat, and put the cut pork skin into the pot, and the water just covered the pig skin.

Continue to boil the pot over high heat to remove the meat foam from the pot and add salt, peppercorns, and other seasonings.

Then simmer until the skin of the meat is simmered in the pot and the hot color is thick and white.

Then put it in an iron bucket and solidify overnight to form a jelly of meat skin.

"Make a soup dumpling, and the seasoning meat jelly for the soup is ready. The focus of the dough is to wake up, and the quality of the dough determines whether the skin of the bun will collapse, and also determines the taste of the bun. ”

So Tao Ran explained and demonstrated to them the steps and key points of how to mix dough, make dough, wake dough, knead dough, and roll dough one by one.

"Okay, let's try the soup dumplings tonight......" Tao Ran said with a smile.

At the table of Chang'an Houfu in the evening, the first batch of soup dumplings in the history of Datang was put on the market.

Siya couldn't wait to take a bite. "Poof" soup splashed her face.

"Scalded me." Siya stuck out her tongue and sighed hard.

It made everyone laugh.

"Siya, you have to eat like this so that you won't burn yourself." After Tao Ran finished speaking, he gently peeled off the skin with chopsticks, and blew hard at the opening with his mouth, feeling that it was not very hot, and slowly sucked off the soup inside.

Then he stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed it in a big bite.

"Wow, it's delicious..."Tao Ran couldn't help but admire.

A few little girls began to follow the example of their brother and try to pour soup dumplings to taste!

The big girl sucked the bowl of soup dumplings in front of her in one go!

Satisfied, he burped.

"It's only since my brother came home, and the eldest girl has grown a lot of meat."

"It's good to grow meat, isn't it popular now that the fatter the better?" Tao Ran smiled and looked at the eldest girl and said.

"Hey, in order to look better, let's continue to eat a few more......"

"Chu Liang has a full meal, and brings some back to his uncle and aunt, so he says that the eldest girl honors them."

"Thank you, brother, brother is so good......" The eldest girl and Cheng Chuliang said together.

Only after Cheng Chumo sent an envoy to the Western Turks, Chu Liang grew up in Chang'an Houfu, except for going back to the Guogong Mansion to sleep at night, and waking up early in the morning to run to Chang'an Houfu.

There is no way to just eat the food in the Houfu, and the food in the Suguo Mansion is difficult to swallow at all.

After Chu Liang arrived home, there was no food in the house.

"Daddy, mother, the child is here for you to eat."

"Stinky boy, count you as having a little conscience, better than your brother." As soon as General Cheng heard that there was food, he immediately became interested, and the food in Chang'an Houfu was definitely not ordinarily delicious.

"Daddy, it's the eldest girl who honors you and your mother......"

"Okay, they're all good boys, let's taste it first."

General Cheng swallowed a soup dumpling in one go. "It's delicious, it's delicious, Madame, come and try the soup dumplings, the big girl respects you."

"Dad, mother, you don't know, it's not delicious when it's cold now, and it's the best time when it's hot when it's just out of the pot."

Bright eyebrows fluttered to General Cheng and his wife to describe how delicious it was when it was just out of the pot.

The two of them grew their mouths in amazement, this is already very delicious, can it be even better? What does that smell like?

"Dad, mother, Brother Tao Ran said the first store, starting with selling soup dumplings, Brother Tao Ran asked me to help, and I also paid for the work, he asked me to ask for your opinions, and you two agreed that I could go to ......"

"Go, what kind of wages do you want? Just bring some buns back to your parents every day. Cheng Yanjin laughed and said.

"Tomorrow, let the cook go to the Hou Ye's Mansion with you to learn how to cook, our food is too damn unpalatable."

"You don't need to go to the Hou Ye's Mansion to learn, Brother Tao Ran has taught the children." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile.

"Okay, our old Cheng family will also be counted as an imperial chef-level person in the future? Phew! Much better than the Imperial Kitchen......"

"Look at your pride, you have forgotten that you have been a untouchable master since ancient times?"

"Whew! You don't know what chain management company is for Chang'an Hou's grandiose company, Your Majesty even changed Tang Law, who dares to say that Chang'an Hou is a pariah in business in the future, Your Majesty can't spare him first! ”
