Chang'an has an unparalleled charm in this era, the largest metropolis in the world, the most populous city. The ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, this era was the most prosperous moment in Chang'an.

At this moment, Li Shimin has just ascended the throne, and the shadow of killing his brother and brother is still permeating the hearts of every Tang people. Even so, Chang'an City is still prosperous, and it doesn't matter who is the emperor to the people, as long as they can eat enough.

The place where Cai Cong went was Xishi, also known as Liren City, which can be regarded as the most prosperous commercial area today.

The two paid the money and got a small stall, and Cai Gang watched the people come and go with some trepidation. He didn't even know how to sell the chickens after they were mixed with mud.

Cai Cong politely borrowed pen and ink from the shopkeeper on one side, and wrote on the wooden board the indoctrination chicken, one hundred texts. The font is strong and broad, which is the face body. The first skill he learned from his teacher in the thieves was calligraphy, so now he is very good at writing.

After the words were written, Cai Cong sat on the side, and there were lumps of dirt on the ox cart, but he missed a little, this is the West Market, also called the slums, how many people can be literate? Or who can buy a chicken for a hundred yuan?

"Brother Cai, don't we have to shout?" Seeing the crowds of other stalls, he didn't even ask a question here, where could Cai Gang stand it? Cai Cong said that he would give him 20% of the rice.

"Then you shout that the chicken is educated, the world is delicious, and there is one hundred texts. Be louder! Cai Cong also remembered that he had picked the wrong place at this time, and hurriedly came up with an advertising slogan.

"Indoctrination Chicken ~ Indoctrination Chicken, the most delicious in the world, Indoctrination Chicken, come and buy it!"

"Educate the chicken, educate the chicken, the best chicken~"

After losing this thing, he will be much braver in doing things, Cai Gang screamed louder and louder, and he thought he was going to fight if he didn't know!

"What chicken is so expensive? One hundred wen, one hundred wen, Lao Tzu can eat a table in the guest store. ”

"That's it, it's so expensive, he thought it was for the emperor to eat!"

"This old dog doesn't know how to do business, and he hasn't taken out the chicken for a long time to show people."

"That's it! Seller, where are your chickens? ”

Many people are attracted by the price, in fact, they just come to see the excitement, and they can't see the indoctrination chickens, and they are all coaxing somewhere. Cai Gang has been poor for most of his life, and he has seen such a scene, looking at the crowd of onlookers with red faces, rubbing his hands and feet, and unable to say a word.

"If you want to see the indoctrination chicken, what about your money?" Cai Cong stood up at this time and said calmly, he did not maliciously speculate that these people who watched the excitement had no money, but the words he said gave people the feeling that they had such a meaning, this is an art of speaking, for an international thief, this is just a simple skill.

Many of the spectators turned ugly, because they really had no money in their pockets. There are also some people who are calm and calm, these people are basically servants of wealthy families, responsible for purchasing, and they don't know how much oil and water they have!

"Why do your children talk like that? Is it or is it not to look down on people? Immediately, a man came out of the crowd, grabbed Cai Gang's chest, and lifted him off the ground.

"Please let go of my uncle, there is no malice in my words. It's just that the chicken is sealed in the soil, and if it is opened, it must be eaten, and it cannot be kept for too long. Cai Gang opened his eyes wide, looking at the big man seriously, with a white face, cute little dimples, big eyes, and indescribably cute. But I couldn't stop snickering in my heart, and when there was a conflict, I would have a deeper curiosity.

Dahan let go of Cai Gang in shame, he felt that he was too sensitive, and such a young child could say such vicious words!

"Little brother, is this chicken really that delicious? Wrapped in dirt, can you still eat it? A person dressed as a small guy squatted down and asked with a smile, he felt that asking adults would definitely not be able to ask the truth, and children should not deceive people.

"Of course it's delicious, it's secret, and I'll make it all day. My uncle came with me. Little brother, buy one and go back! Maybe your master is happy to eat and will be a steward for you, which is really delicious. ”

Liu Hu suddenly felt that he had asked the wrong person, this kid was more skilled in selling vegetables and fish than those old dealers who sold vegetables and fish, so don't be fooled.

Cai Cong is very sure that Chinese cuisine only started in the Song Dynasty, and before that, the food was mainly soup cake noodles, even if the flour cake soup was made into flowers, it was impossible to have his secret education chicken. As for the meat of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing more than boiled and grilled, and the rich people sprinkled spices on it.

"Don't hesitate, I'll open one for you."

Cai Cong saw that Liu Hu's face was changing, and knew that he needed to work harder, so he picked up a stick and knocked open a lump.

"Alas, don't ......" Liu Hu hurriedly shouted, but he remembered that Cai Cong said that he would buy it when he opened it. Thinking about it, isn't this a forced buy and a forced sale? Just as he was about to scold, a fragrance that was so rich that it couldn't be dissolved, followed his open mouth and entered his taste buds, stimulating his saliva continued to gush out, and the scolding words were swallowed into his stomach with the saliva.

"This is the indoctrination chicken?" Looking at the fresh and tender chicken exposed, Liu Hu suddenly wanted to beat the chicken blood. The taste was so fragrant, with the fragrance of lotus leaves, he was sure that his master had never eaten such a delicacy.

Cai Cong nodded, and then asked with a smile: "Little brother, buy one and go back!" I believe that your master will not find it expensive. Although in this era, the aristocracy eats mutton, but chicken is also a daily ingredient, not to mention that Cai Cong thinks that delicacy is the most acceptable.

"Okay, I'll buy one, no! Buy two. Liu Hu was very excited, two hundred wen is not expensive, even if the master doesn't like to eat, he will not punish him.

"Uncle Gang, get two." After Cai Cong counted the two hundred texts handed over by Liu Hu, he asked Cai Gang to wrap two indoctrination chickens with lotus leaves.

"Bring me two."

"I want one."

"My lord is the commander of Chang'an County, leave me two."

"Straight thief mother, my master is still the head of the ministry, leave me two."

The servants who exposed the background immediately did not dare to speak, and the officials were in charge of the promotion of officials, and no official was willing to offend this group of people.

The indoctrination chicken was quickly sold out, and the servants all relied on their eyesight to eat, and they naturally guessed that this delicacy could capture the master's stomach, and it was not surprising to rob it.

Looking at the crowd that was about to disperse, Cai Cong shouted loudly: "I still have a delicious soybean rabbit soup here, do you want to buy some too?" After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Cai Gang to push out the rabbit that was boiling in a large urn.

When the lid is opened, a fresh fragrance with a faint smell of wine comes to my nose. Everyone subconsciously stopped, swallowing saliva in their throats.

"Little brother, how do you sell this?"

"One hundred wen, half a rabbit. Please bring your own utensils. "Rabbits are already expensive, and they don't sell at a high price, so they sell out quickly. After paying for the firewood used to heat the rabbit soup, the two drove the ox cart towards the rice shop.

The market is closed at the time of the door, and after the curfew, if you still walk around the market, you will be arrested. The two of them left Chang'an City with the crowd to the sound of the drums of Jingjie.

A cart full of rice, Cai Gang drove the ox cart, laughing stupidly, and even the hand waving the whip was trembling. Cai Cong sat on the rice pile with a smile.

The Tang Dynasty was short of food, so the dishes were not rich, and the mainstream was soup cake noodles, and then sashimi, which was an unhealthy way of eating. Frying, boiling, stewing...... The dazzling practices of later generations are unimaginable in this era.

Liu Hu carefully put the chicken and rabbit soup on a small fire to heat, his master has not yet arrived home, the cook is cooking, but he is unwilling to hand it over to the chef to take care of, that will be one more person to share the credit.

Liu Fu is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and it is typical that there are more things and less money, and he is exhausted when he returns home. "Tell someone below to serve the food!" After he washed his face, he said lightly to the butler.

In these years, there is no luxury in eating, two side dishes, a plate of mutton is his dinner. While eating, the housekeeper came in and said, Master, Liu Hu said that he bought a delicious meal today, and it has been hot, just waiting for you to come back! Do you want to call him in?

"This dog has a lot of eyes, tell him to come in! Look at what bear's paw venison he got for the old man. Liu Fu wiped his mouth and scolded with a smile, but he still had some expectations in his heart, Liu Hu was very clever, and he would definitely not send anything that was not delicious.

Liu Hu deliberately played around, with soup and a bowl of rice on the plate, and two chickens for people to hold.

Liu Fu tasted a bite of the soup and felt that it was very delicious, but he had eaten a lot of things, and he had not been to major restaurants, so he felt that he was not particularly looking forward to it. looked up at Liu Hu and felt that he shouldn't be so eyeless.

"Hehe, this soup is for you to clear your mouth, this is the small one to dedicate to you." Liu Hu is a smart person, and hurriedly pushed out two lumps.

But at this time, he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and if he took it again, he would tease the master, and maybe he would appear in the mass grave tomorrow. He picked up the stick and gently smashed a chicken, the heat rose, the aroma of the meat slowly spread, and the tender yellow chicken looked indescribably tempting. Liu Fu's pupils contracted suddenly, he took a sharp breath, felt out of shape again, and coughed lightly and asked, "Liu Hu!" What kind of dish is this? How can it be so pleasant? ”

"Back to the master's words, this is an indoctrination chicken. Today there is a child selling in the West Market, and the little hand is about to grab two. How exactly to do it, the small ones are unknown. Liu Hu said diligently, using words to highlight his difficulty.

"Don't knock! The housekeeper immediately sent someone to send this indoctrination chicken to Lord Yan. Seeing that Liu Hu was about to knock open another lump, Liu Fu hurriedly shouted. Sending money and bribes between scholars is a priority, and it doesn't seem like a fool to send this rare delicacy. And Lord Yan is Yan Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

In Chang'an at night, the carriage is wandering in Dongfang. There are not a few people who have the same idea as Liu Fu, and even Wuhou didn't dare to intercept them, just check their posts. So this indoctrination chicken entered the house tonight and became a rare dish in the eyes of dignitaries.

Cheng Yanjin grabbed one, he was going to Longyou, and he grabbed it when he went out. There are three on the table of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his status is destined to have countless people stammering him, and there is no need to speak, and someone will send them to the door.

Li Shimin looked at the tender chicken on the table, and his eyes looked at a wooden plaque that said "Educate the chicken, one hundred wen". With his deep eyes, it was impossible to see what he was thinking. After a long time, he tore off a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Find out who made the dishes."

It's just a dish, but it arrived at the tables of more than a dozen important ministers overnight, and if the dish is poisonous, his Datang will lose its operation tonight.

No emperor can accept that something that is not under his control happens, let alone that this is Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages.
