Chapter 101: Donburi rice

Su Bai walked around the kitchen, looking at the ingredients, he could make a 'sweet and sour pork ribs', this pork rib was bought by the chef yesterday, and he planned to let the cook boil the pork rib soup today. Let the cook help himself, the cook was still a little disdainful at first, thinking that a nine-year-old child can still cook?

Slice the green onion and ginger, and let the cook chop the pork ribs into small pieces of about five centimeters to rinse away the blood. Boil water in a pot, put in the pork ribs, then put in the green onion and ginger slices, skim off the foam and blood, and remove it for later use. On the other side, let the cook burn the oil and prepare to fry the pork ribs for a while, this Su Bai began to adjust the sauce, no ketchup is a very hurtful place, can only be prepared with vinegar and sugar, salty salt, fortunately it can be dealt with.

The chef fried the ribs, poured them into the sauce and stir-fried them back and forth, and it didn't take long for the sweet and sour aroma to come out, and the chef was almost stupid, and when Su Bai put all the ribs in a small basin, the cook reacted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and swore that he would not pass on the adult's mastery, thank you for the adult's reward for your skills.

Su Bai waved his hand to signal him to be casual, he could teach whoever he liked, sweet and sour pork ribs, and it was also castrated sweet and sour pork ribs, the cook looked at the remaining ribs behind him with a happy face, it seemed that he was planning to wait for Su Bai to leave, and he was experimenting with it.

Su Bai carried a small basin of pork ribs, and the cook behind him carried a small basin of rice and three large bowls, staggered into the back hall, put it on the table, waved his hand to let the cook step back, pointed to the ribs and said, "Come on, you're welcome."

Li Chengqian surrounded him curiously, he had never seen vegetables in pots since he was a child, but the smell was fragrant, Cheng Chumo picked up the chopsticks and filled a big bowl for himself, this grandson's mouth is also big, a small piece of pork ribs was thrown directly into his mouth, his tongue moved lightly, and he spit out the bones, and his small expression was called an intoxication, and he didn't look at the rice next to him, but threw the ribs into his mouth.

Su Bai was afraid that he would only eat the basin if he was late, and he also filled a big bowl for himself, at first Li Chengqian was a little unable to wipe it off, but then when he saw that the basin was already halfway down, coupled with the temptation of the aroma, he also threw off his arms and began to grab it, this taste, I felt that I had lived in vain all these years, how could there be such a delicious thing. Su Bai pointed to the rice and said, "Just this little rice, otherwise it will be salty", he said so, but he was desperately pulling the ribs into the bowl.

I have to say that Li Chengqian is still very simple, when he heard Su Bai say this, he really went to serve the rice, and when he looked back, there was no ribs left in the basin, only some soup remained, looking at the two shameless people who were gnawing on the ribs, and then looking at the rice in his hand, Li Chengqian picked up the basin, poured the soup on the rice, and ate it beautifully. Su Baiyou sighed, this rice bowl was originally available in the Tang Dynasty!

Cheng Chumo was half-full, Su Bai wasn't even half-full, only Li Chengqian was full because of the bowl of rice. Cheng Chumo licked his lips and said, "Your cooking skills are really good, are there any other dishes?" Li Chengqian also looked over, Su Bai shook his head and said: "No, I don't know if you two want it, and I didn't prepare it yesterday", Cheng Chumo and Li Chengqian sighed with some regret at the same time, Su Bai smiled: "After the food street is built in a few days, please have a good meal."

"Is there such a rib?" Li Chengqian pointed to the empty basin, Su Bai nodded: "Naturally, I have already thought of twenty kinds of snacks, and there will only be more and more in the future", Cheng Chu wiped his saliva and said: "You hurry up and let the cook prepare the raw materials, I can't wait", Su Bai said speechlessly: "No, many materials need to be made by yourself, such as sauces and the like, and the fermentation time will take three months, you are waiting."

"Three months!" Cheng Chumo shouted, this, this doesn't take a pole to spend so long!

What Su Bai is talking about is soy sauce, this kind of secret recipe is very cheap in the system, a thousand prestige points, now Su Bai's prestige value can rise by six or seven hundred every day, and a thousand prestige points are just more than a day, this prestige is like a snowball, and it will only increase in the future.

In the afternoon, continue to take Li Chengqian and them out for a stroll, of course, Juxian is not as interesting as Chang'an, fortunately, the people are simple, Li Chengqian finally knew that Su Bai was not lying, it was really everyone in Juxian County, no matter how big or small, knew Su Bai. Seeing Su Bai will greet them affectionately, there is no fear and awe on their faces, but a kind of respect!

Li Chengqian was a little puzzled, why would these people respect and love a nine-year-old child? Even the old man in his fifties and sixties had a look of respect on his face when he saw Su Bai. Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ugly Niu, how did you make the whole county respect you?" Su Bai didn't expect Li Chengqian to ask himself this, and thought for a while: "Maybe it's because I respect them very much, respect each other", Su Bai laughed first after saying that, he knew that these people respected themselves because of their current living conditions.

Are the people afraid of hardship? The people are afraid of poverty! Su Bai found them a place where they could exchange their strength for food, and found them a place where they could earn money by working hard and no one was bullying, these were all reasons why the people respected him. And then there is Tang Ju's propaganda, in his mouth, Su Bai is simply a genius who has not produced a genius for hundreds of years, a good official!

Coupled with what the people themselves saw, building roads, building food streets, building pig farms, and giving houses to the lonely and widowed elderly, it can be said that they have never seen such officials! The people of the Tang Dynasty are people who cherish their blessings, how can such a good official not cherish it?

Li Chengqian walked most of the county in the afternoon, the sky was a little dark, the prince was going back to Chang'an at night, the safety of His Royal Highness the prince was very important, it was impossible to spend the night in the county, when he left, Su Bai gave him a piece of paper, which was written on the formula of cement, as well as the firing technology, Li Chengqian asked before leaving: "Brother Ugly Niu, what are your next plans?" ”

Su Bai smiled, pointed to the county behind him and said, "Let the people be fed!" ”。

Li Chengqian was a little confused, he may not understand the meaning of this sentence now, but he remembered the side face under the sunset, at that moment, the sunset seemed to gild his golden body.

Cheng Chumo didn't leave, he asked his subordinates to escort Li Chengqian back to Chang'an, leaving only twenty people by his side, and Lai Zai refused to leave. After asking for a long time, he told Su Bai that he just didn't want to go back to the country to take classes! He muttered vigorously that he hadn't listened to Mr. Guo's story for a long time, and he didn't know what happened to Guo Jing and Huang Rong. This kid seems to be almost driving people crazy when he goes to school, the little grandfather and Su Bai sleep in the same room, and Su Bai fell asleep in his nagging.

......

"Qian'er, have you seen Wang Chouniu?" In the hall, Li Chengqian knelt and sat upright, and in front of him was Li Shimin, the co-owner of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I saw him, he is a very interesting person", Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Interesting?" What's the fun way? Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "He feels very kind, as if he has been an old friend of mine for many years, and the people under his jurisdiction are not afraid of him, but respect him very much, and he is different from all the officials I have met in the past."

Li Shimin smiled: "What's the difference? ”

"He is very, it should be said that he is very pragmatic, most of the other officials have to have a good relationship when they take office, collude with the squire, and then follow the step-by-step process, do not seek merit but seek no fault, collect taxes, and labor, but he doesn't seem to plan to do this, he thinks, thinks," Li Chengqian couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, and Li Shimin answered for him.

"I want to do something for the people!"

"Yes, father, that's it, he built a road, built a pig farm, and planned to build a food street, he doesn't seem to be satisfied with the status quo, and wants to do something. Father, what do you say he is for, and how do you plan to make a profit? ”。 Li Chengqian's expression was very puzzled, the houses and roads built for the lonely and widowed old people were all losing money, the pig farm was not profitable now, and the food street was still under construction and there was no prospect, so what was he for?

Li Shimin said with a smile: "He is not a fool, those are his propaganda methods to prove the value of his 'cement', as for the goal, the people are his goal!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't understand a little, and looked at Li Shimin suspiciously. Li Shimin said with a smile: "For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party!" The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! What is the purpose of the person who can say these two words? ”

"Is this what Wang Chouniu said?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin's expression was very satisfied, and he looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party! Cheng Qian, do you know what I was thinking when I heard these two words for the first time? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head blankly, where could he guess what Li Shimin was thinking!

"I wonder how he knows what I'm talking about! Well said! If the people of the world can think like this, and the officials can think like this, why worry about the people and the world? Li Shimin stood up, rubbed his stiff waist and said, "I can't believe what this is a nine-year-old child said!" But such a child invented the horseshoe and the ugly ox plow, a feat that even many ministers in the court could not do! Sometimes I'm also curious, does he have a seven-trick heart? Now that there is cement, Chengqian, do you know what this means? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head blankly, Li Shimin smiled: "The adhesion and solidity of cement are stronger than Sanhe soil, its cost is very low, and the output is very large. It took 200 people only a month to build! What if we had 100,000 people? ”

"In a month, we will have one more heroic city!"
