Chapter 8 Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs
Hearing Cui Shaoqing's words, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin noticed that the time was already noon.
And Cui Shaoqing was eating.
They didn't want to sit and eat with Cui Shaoqing, after all, they had to talk about business later, this ate people's short mouths, and Cui Shaoqing asked for a high price later, so they couldn't bargain.
can see Cui Shaoqing's table of appetizing meals, they have never seen every dish, plus they have been on the road for a long time, they are a little hungry, this saliva swallowed unconsciously.
When Li Ji was still hesitating, the smug Cheng Yanjin had already sat down directly.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about business after dinner."
"Brother Cheng......"
Li Jigang was about to shout Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin had already picked up chopsticks and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth, after eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, Cheng Biting Jin was stunned all of a sudden.
The sweet and sour feeling, coupled with the fresh aroma of the meat, was a delicacy he had never tasted.
And after he ate a piece, he didn't say a word, he just ate it again, and he was not polite at all, and he ate the sweet and sour pork ribs.
When Cui Shaoqing saw this, he was a little anxious, this is his favorite dish, he hasn't eaten it yet, and this Cheng Cheng is too unseen, right?
Seeing an opportunity, Cui Shaoqing stretched out his chopsticks and was about to clip a piece, but as soon as he stretched out the chopsticks, Cheng Yanjin directly brought the plate over.
"Lao Xu, don't be stunned, you taste it, this thing is delicious, I Lao Cheng has eaten so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it is not as good as this dish."
When it comes to eating, there is really no one who can compare to Cheng Biting Jin, because looking at his body shape, you know that he is a foodie, if he doesn't eat so much, can he grow so fat?
Seeing Cheng biting Jin like this, Li Ji also aroused his appetite to some extent, so he couldn't help but sandwich a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to eat, after he ate it like this, he suddenly felt that the whole person's mouth was sweet, and the taste made people never forget it.
He was still a little polite, but at this time, he was not polite, and hurriedly ate with him.
Cui Shaoqing sat next to him and watched the two old men eating sweet and sour pork ribs with a plate, and the whole person was a little speechless.
Although the sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious, the two princes are not like this, right?
If other people see the two of them like this, I'm afraid their jaws will drop in shock.
Sweet and sour pork ribs seem to be uneaten, Cui Shaoqing shook his head, and could only pick up his own oily noodles and eat them, the noodles used for this oily noodles are very wide and thick, and half a spoonful of oil is poured on them, Datang has no chili peppers, but there are some spicy ingredients or something, and it tastes good.
Cui Shaoqing was already hungry, and when he was eating, his voice was inevitably a little loud.
A plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, two people ate it quickly.
However, after they finished eating, they were a little unsatisfied, and when they looked up and saw Cui Shaoqing squeaky eating with a large bowl, Cui Shaoqing's expression of eating made them can't help but have a big appetite.
As Chang'an people, they all like to eat noodles, and Cui Shaoqing's noodles look much better than the noodles they usually eat.
"I said, Brother Cui, do you still have this noodle you eat, if you don't eat the staple food, we won't be able to eat enough."
Cheng Yanjin was the first to speak, and the corners of his mouth were already drooling.
Li Ji smiled: "Yes, we will pay for the meal later." ”
Li Ji has not forgotten the goal of their trip, although the sweet and sour pork ribs are really delicious.
The two of them said, Cui Shaoqing didn't pay attention to them immediately, squeaked and ate a bowl of oily noodles, put the bowl down, wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth, and then smiled: "Just a bowl of noodles, if you want to eat, I'll go to the kitchen to make it for the two of you, soon." ”
"Okay, okay, do it."
Cheng Yanjin can't wait a little longer, the oily noodles look delicious.
Cui Shaoqing smiled lightly, got up and went to the back kitchen, Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji are here, eating other dishes, these dishes are naturally worse than sweet and sour pork ribs, but they are much better than what they usually eat, and the most important thing is that this dish tastes positive, unlike coarse salt, there is always a strange smell.
The two of them were eating and eating, but Cheng Yanjin missed the bowl of noodles more and more.
Li Ji is here, but his brows are slightly condensed, Cheng Biting Jin is a big old man, not careful, but he is not, he can taste these dishes he eats, and he definitely uses fine salt, but in their Tang Dynasty, except for the palace and some royal relatives, the heroes will be rewarded with some fine salt by the imperial court, and everyone else uses coarse salt.
But this Cui Shaoqing is just a shop owner, where does he get the fine salt?
I'm afraid there is a lot of strange things about this.
"Go, go, go to the kitchen, didn't this kid say it's fast, it's not done yet."
Cheng Yanjin wanted to eat noodles, but he couldn't wait here, so he took Li Ji and went to the kitchen, and Li Ji also wanted to see the salt, so he followed.
When he came to the kitchen, Cui Shaoqing had just scooped the noodles into a bowl, and the pot was hot with oil.
"Brother Cui, are you ready?"
"It's going to be good right away, I'll mix the seasoning, and the oil will be finished as soon as I drizzle it."
As he spoke, Cui Shaoqing put the seasonings he had prepared on top of the noodles, then opened a salt shaker, scooped out a spoonful of fine salt from it and put it on the noodles, and then poured the hot oil into the seasonings.
After the hot oil is poured up, the seasonings are crackling, and people can't help but feel enjoyable and appetizing.
Cheng Biting Jin was the most anxious, as soon as the oil was splashed, he picked up the bowl and ate it, the oil was spicy and salty, and it tasted fragrant.
Li Ji was not in a hurry, and after taking a bite of the bowl, he suddenly asked with a smile: "Brother Cui, where did you get this fine salt?" ”
When asked by Li Ji, Cui Shaoqing looked calm and said: "Naturally, it is extracted from coarse salt, and this coarse salt has too many impurities and tastes weird, so I refined fine salt from coarse salt." ”
Hearing this, Li Ji looked like this, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui is really wealthy, this refining fine salt is a difficult thing, and if you want to refine one or two fine salts, I'm afraid you need more than ten catties of coarse salt, the price of these ten catties of coarse salt is not very high, but this salt is a daily need, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will cost a lot." ”
"Brother Xu said and laughed, ten catties of coarse salt, I can refine four catties of fine salt."
Cheng Yanjin was feasting, and after hearing this, he suddenly stopped, he is not stupid, he will not understand what Cui Shaoqing's words mean?
This fine salt is something that is difficult to buy with money, and the reason why it is difficult to buy is because it is difficult to refine, so it can only be used in the palace, but if it can be refined in large quantities, wouldn't it be that fine salt can also enter thousands of households?
