Chapter 32: The Noble Man in the Kitchen
Old Mrs. Wei left with the support of the old servant, making Zhao Qi a little confused, and what she said was the truth, why didn't she like to listen to it? Sure enough, people don't like to hear the truth, which is a truth that has existed since ancient times.
Xiao Ling'er poked her head out of the door sneakily and looked at Zhao Qi curiously with her fingers. Zhao Qi walked over and smiled, took out a snack from his arms like a trick, handed it to Xiao Ling'er, and then touched her head and said, "Let's go, brother, I'll cook myself tonight, so that you can see what Zhao's stir-fry is."
Zhao Qi walked in front, Xiao Ling'er followed behind, she naturally didn't care about Zhao's stir-fried vegetables, as long as there was something to eat, Bai Zhong was a little curious, and touched the back of his head, he should have heard it right just now, Daqin's lord wants to cook in person? Isn't this all the work of the next people? Could it be that the relationship between the master and servant of Great Qin has been so relaxed in the past few years when the Bai family has been lonely?
The relationship between Daqin's master and servant has nothing to do with Zhao Qi, anyway, he is going to cook now, and the cook hired to cook was frightened, knelt on the ground and said vigorously that the food he cooked was not in line with the appetite of the little young master, and he would definitely improve, and begged the little young master to spare his life for the sake of the old and young in his family.
The shouting Zhao Qi was upset, does Lao Tzu seem to be such a fierce and vicious person who kills people at every turn? Ordered Hong Sanbao to kick the cook out, so he took a shovel knife and looked at it, nodded, yes, this kind of shape is the same as that of later generations, and the craftsman is also a smart person, and he knows how to put a piece of wood on the handle to prevent hot hands.
The maid Ling'er has already brought the firewood, since the last time she rubbed half a bowl of beef noodles with the little master, she has been looking forward to the little master going back to the kitchen every day, in her little heart, the little master is already omnipotent, smart people are smart, cooking is better than others.
Zhao Qi didn't need to do the matter of igniting the fire, naturally there were Hong Sanbao and Ling'er, the cook was still lingering at the door, Hong Sanbao kicked him out and there was no follow-up, he was not pulled to look at his head, he was waiting crampedly at the door, coming in or leaving, anxiously stomping his feet.
Zhao Qi saw that he was annoying dangling at the door, so he called him in to cut vegetables in line with the principle of waste utilization. The chef immediately blossomed, and Zhao Qi was stunned by the mysterious knife skills in one hand, Zhao Qi grabbed a piece of radish and looked at it, it was worthy of doing this business, this cutting kung fu many later generations of chefs couldn't catch up, and then glanced at what he had just cut, and pretended to inadvertently dial into the jar containing garbage.
At this time, there were few vegetables, Zhao Qi really didn't know what to cook, and the most important crops in later generations, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers were not here, so they could only be put together to make a pot of hodgepodge.
Zhao Qi is not very clear about the method of steak, but he can also get it out according to the cat and the tiger, it is nothing more than the beef is poured with water and oil on the soup, and the soup does not know how to get it, so I can only study it myself, whether it is delicious or not, I believe that as long as it is done, it is better than boiled beef in this era.
I was busy in the kitchen for most of the hour, and I finally finished the dishes, and this problem came again, his mother's Warring States meals were all one person and one table, how to eat vegetables? You can't eat a plate of food by yourself, right? Another question is that there is no rice in Xianyang, so what is the matter if there is no rice and just eat vegetables?
Zhao Qi's head hurts, and after thinking about it, he can only put the table together to make do with it first, and as for the rice, he can only replace it with a dead noodle pot helmet first.
Old Madam Wei was invited, and Bai Zhong also came, looking at the formation in front of her a little distracted, what kind of way is this? I've never seen it before, and why is this food weird?
Zhao Qi saw that they were puzzled, so he arched his hand and explained: "Auntie, brother, this is the kid's newly researched food, the kid calls it stir-frying, as for the table, the kid thinks that the family should eat on the same table, what's the matter with eating separately?"
After listening to Zhao Qi's explanation, Mrs. Wei suddenly brightened up, and glared at Hong Sanbao, who was hiding behind Zhao Qi, they are all adults, and the little master will not stop the nonsense, and will follow the nonsense, and will clean you up after eating.
Everyone sat down in order according to respect and humility, everyone was eating in this way for the first time, it seemed a little cramped, everyone didn't move the chopsticks, the first time I ate this kind of meal, I didn't know if it was delicious, Zhao Qi didn't blame it when he saw this situation, he first picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of pork belly and tasted it, well, it's not bad, this craft is not rusty, it's delicious.
When everyone saw that Zhao Qi started to eat, and he looked very happy, they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.
Zhang Han's dog nose is very smart, looking for the smell and came over, after entering the door, he saluted the old lady, and naturally asked the cook for a pair of chopsticks to sit next to Zhao Qi, he didn't feel strange about this novel way of eating, he saw too many extraordinary things around Zhao Qi, he was already surprised.
He eats very similar to Zhao Qi, he always picks meat first, puts a piece of beef in his mouth, and immediately can't stop, the speed in his hand is very fast, he wraps a plate of beef alone, and gives Zhao Qi a thumbs up while eating, needless to say, this is Zhao Qi's masterpiece, Daqin He can't think of anyone who has this means.
This kind of food has been popular in the homes of Lü Buwei and Mengfu, and after Zhao Qi was caught cooking by Lü Buwei last time, he could only teach his chef how to make beef noodles in order to atone for his sins.
After a meal at Lü Buwei's house, Meng Fu praised this kind of noodle dish very much, so he paid for Lü Buwei's cook to come to his door and let him teach this beef noodle method to his own cook.
Dinner time always passed quickly, Zhao Qi and Zhang Han lay on the roof to enjoy the cool, I don't know where Zhang Han learned this stinky problem, always like to stay on the roof, Zhao Qi is helpless, and can only follow up, learn more and now I have developed this habit, when I have nothing to do, I love to lie on the roof and watch the sky.
Hong Sanbao took Zhao Qi's entrustment, with his sincerity and heavy money, and went to hire the best craftsmen in Xianyang, these people are all his future family construction to play a big role. Of course, there is also a very important task at the moment, which is to get a few sets of tables and chairs out, and this fucking person kneels on the soft couch every day and his waist is about to break.
"Tell me, what are you doing with me this time?" Zhao Qi has always liked to get straight to the point, as the saying goes: If you have nothing to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Zhang Han is not a person who likes to hang out, and this time he came to him definitely not just to have a meal.
Zhang Han picked his teeth disappreciatively, and only after picking them clean did he say slowly: "Old man Meng hasn't seen you for a long time, please go to his house as a guest when you have free time, and teach his guards what you said about physical training techniques by the way."
Zhao Qi knew that this kid didn't bring good news, and he didn't know how Meng Fu waited until he came out of the palace, and he thought that he had escaped the clutches of the queen mother, and finally could live a few days of leisure, who knew that it fell into the hands of Old Man Meng again, and he could rest in the future? It's not that he hasn't watched the training of special forces on TV, as an instructor, he naturally has to lead by example, Zhao Qi wants to slap himself in the mouth now, why did he agree to Old Man Meng's request so cheaply?
This doesn't work, you have to give yourself a few days off, you can't fall into the hands of Meng Fei, Zhang Han came to show that Meng Tian is also fast, and when Meng Tian comes over, he can't find a reason to shirk, this is not good, he hurriedly prepared his bags and was about to go out, Bai Zhong was very curious and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Zhao Qi: "Don't ask anything, if Meng Tian's kid comes, you will say that I will go to Yiyi to supervise the mansion, don't say a word of superfluity."
Although Bai Zhong was curious, seeing that Zhao Qi was in a hurry, he still closed his mouth knowingly, Old Madam Wei couldn't help but say it, and told Old Madam Wei what happened in 1510, she sighed, touched Zhao Qi's head and said: "You go, you should relax and relax after suffering these sins in the palace, and the Meng family has a mother to deal with."
Hong Sanbao came back with three or four craftsmen, and Zhao Qi couldn't help but catch them up and galloped towards the Xianyang City Gate with a group of people, and it was time to close the city gate, so he couldn't delay.
The moment the city gate was closed, Zhao Qi and a few people just rushed out of Xianyang, and several craftsmen touched their heads for unknown reasons, not understanding why the adult who hired him was messing around with a child, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he asked him: "Adult, what is the identity of this child?" Why did I go out of town in the middle of the night? ”
"What kind of child, this is the little master of my family, he asked me to hire you, as for why I went out of the city at night, I don't know, but the little master has his own reasons for doing things, let's just do it." Hong Sanbao's arrogant appearance attracted slander in the hearts of several craftsmen: You don't know what you are proud of?
Zhao Qi gasped, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief before he said slowly: "Where is the reason, the old man Meng wants to arrest the master and go to his family to train the army, the master has just suffered in the palace, and he will go to his house to suffer if he is stupid, first go to the fiefdom to hide for a few days, and then go back after resting."
Several craftsmen are also smart people, they immediately shut up when they heard Zhao Qi's words, and they were also shocked in their hearts, this young man looked ordinary, but listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that he had a relationship with General Meng, and his status in the palace was extraordinary, and the most surprising thing was the last sentence, this child actually had a fief, then he was also a baron at the very least, which was never heard of in Daqin.
This kind of thing can't be faked, chewing the root of the tongue is the sin of killing the head, the child doesn't understand, but the guard won't understand, judging from their clothes, it doesn't look like a simple family, several craftsmen silently exchanged glances, weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow the boy to see where he was sacred.
Of course, Zhao Qi didn't know what they thought, and after resting enough, he rode out of the horse and rushed out in the direction of Changxing Town, Yiyi, followed by Hong Sanbao and the others.
