Chapter 14: How lucky
"Hu Spicy Soup ~ Hu Spicy Soup ~ Authentic Xinxiang Hu Spicy Soup ~"
"Fragrant hand-grasped scallion pancakes ~ authentic Xinxiang hand-grasped scallion pancakes ~ come and taste ~ no fragrant and no money. ”
"Kaifeng hometown chicken ~ His Majesty the First Emperor personally created, fragrant Kaifeng hometown chicken ~ everyone come to taste. ”
"Burger, burger. Egg burgers, beef burgers, potato burgers! A burger for breakfast, don't be hungry in the morning!"
Jiang Cheng always wakes up in the morning from the cries of these early stall vendors. All kinds of people are pushing or carrying or have a fixed small storefront, standing on the street and shouting for business. Hope to attract more business.
Today's academy is a vacation once every ten years, so Xu Qingqing does not need to attend classes. She went out early in the morning, mainly because she was uncomfortable in Jiang Xiaoyu's yard.
Speaking of which, she and Jiang Xiaoyu have known each other for many years, Jiang Xiaoyu, who was only twelve years old at the time, froze at the door of her house in the cold winter night, and said that it was discovered by six-year-old Xu Qingqing.
At that time, Xu Qingqing took pity on Jiang Xiaoyu, so he ran back to the house and called the family to come. gave Jiang Xiaoyu hot tea and ate several sesame cakes, and let him take a hot bath, so that he could be regarded as saving him. Then Xu Changtian kindly introduced Jiang Xiaoyu to work in a restaurant in Xicheng. In this way, Jiang Xiaoyu can be regarded as surviving, otherwise how could he successfully live to such a big age.
"I didn't expect to save a white-eyed wolf, a child-lover. If only I had known that I would have let him freeze to death on that cold night. He actually dared to hit me, a life-saving benefactor, and he had enough to live! Hmph!" Xu Qingqing walked on the road and thought silently.
The breakfast in Jiangcheng is still very rich, in fact, the food practices of the empire used to be very scarce.
Xu Qingqing was familiar with historical materials and knew that more than 600 years ago, when the empire was still divided into twelve countries, everyone ate badly.
This badness refers not only to the scarcity of food, but also to the singularity of food practices.
In the previous Warring States period, there were basically two ways to handle food. One is roasted and the other is stewed. At that time, the rich people could not eat anything good.
And since Emperor I unified the empire, he has not only reformed the empire politically. At the same time, the empire was reformed in terms of food.
The first emperor pioneered a variety of dishes such as stir-frying, hot pot, frying, steaming, etc. At the same time, it also improved the way most traditional foods were eaten.
Wheat, for example.
Before the Warring States period, few people cultivated wheat. At that time, people didn't know how to threshh wheat and how to grind it, so the wheat was soaked in water, and after soaking softly, it was cooked and eaten like rice. This is known as wheat rice.
However, the taste of wheat rice is really bad, because there is a layer of wheat husk, so it pulls the throat and is not easy to digest. If you have a bad stomach, you will have wheat rice today, and wheat rice will come out tomorrow.
Emperor I pioneered the technique of hulling and milling wheat, and he called this white powder flour. Then the chefs are given how to make the pasta.
Six hundred years later, pasta is now the second largest staple food source in the Empire.
"The First Emperor is really omnipotent. Xu Qingqing looked at the buns sold in the breakfast shop, and she couldn't help but sigh. Because it seems that the bun was also invented by the first emperor.
According to historical records, Emperor I was an outstanding politician, martial artist, educator, thinker, musician, gourmet, and so on. It's as if there is nothing in this world that an emperor will not do.
Girls always have a dream of spring, and Xu Qingqing will also imagine what her other half will be like in the future. It would be nice to be as versatile as the First Emperor!
Well, that's just a daydream, and the reality still has to live.
But marrying Jiang Xiaoyu is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Because I know him too well, and I am so familiar that I am bored.
After this guy became the leader of the Jiangcheng rangers, he began to collect so-called peace money from shops. This guy is so shameless! He is the leader of the rangers, but he is the same as the underworld.
Now all the shops in the east city have to pay, and there are many shops in the west city that have to pay money.
What is the difference between Jiang Xiaoyu and those bad guys?
The object of his own mind, that is, to be a manly hero who stands up to the sky!
Sixteen-year-old Xu Qingqing is still well protected in the pure academy, and he doesn't know how terrifying the wind and rain of this world are.
There are many breakfast shops in Nancheng, and there are also many shops that sell Kaifeng hometown chicken and hamburgers pioneered by Emperor I in the early morning. Although some people think it's not good to eat so greasy in the morning.
But some people still love fried chicken early in the morning. Because some people have a lot of physical exertion at work, they are not full without eating fried chicken and burgers.
But Xu Qingqing won't eat so greasy, because she doesn't have to do any heavy physical labor.
Walking into a shop selling xiaolongbaozi, Xu Qingqing skillfully ordered: "Boss, let's have a basket of xiaolongbaozi and a cup of soy milk." ”
"Haole!" The store greeted warmly: "A cage of steamed buns and a cup of soy milk ~ The kitchen is prepared ~~"
While waiting for the food to be served, Xu Qingqing casually looked at the store. On one of the white walls of the shop, simple drawings are drawn with a brush, and the origin of xiaolongbao and soy milk is also written with a brush. Well, they were all created by the First Emperor.
Xu Qingqing looked at the introduction above boredly, waiting for the arrival of his bun.
She didn't notice that two pairs of eyes were actually secretly looking at her.
"I'm talking about her, how is Brother Long?"
"Well, it's good-looking. It's the type I like. But is it okay to find a woman to marry in such a hurry?"
"Hey, Brother Long, aren't you getting married yet? Didn't your father spread the news that he was going to divide the family property? Let your brothers develop their own ways. Do you want to marry those women you know outside?"
"No, no, no, it's okay to play, it's not okay to be a wife. Even if it was me, my dad wouldn't agree. ”
"So. Find Xu Qingqing is also a famous little beauty in Dongcheng. Her father opened a tea shop and a tea house, which is considered a small asset. Isn't that what you're looking for? Don't have too much background, but don't come from a poor background either. ”
"That's right. Now that my father is urging me to get married, I have to hurry up and get married. Otherwise, my head would be big when he urged me to get married. This woman looks good, she looks like it. ”
"So what?"
"Well, talk to my dad and propose marriage directly. ”
"Huh, Brother Long, you don't touch this woman?"
"Contact a fart, marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, what is there to contact. It's good to marry a husband and teach children, just be obedient. That's a lot of. People have also seen it, let's go. I've seen so many women in the past few days, and it's just pleasing to the eye, so I'm going to fix her. ”
"Okay, anyway, as Brother Long, presumably no one will refute your face on the one-third of an acre of land in this Jiangcheng. ”
After that, the two people sitting at the door got up and left, leaving enough food by the way.
When Xiao Er of the breakfast shop came with buns, he found that the two guests were missing, and he scratched his head: "Eh, strange thing." Anyone else who pays not to eat buns?"
"Xiao Er, are my buns ready?" Xu Qingqing urged.
"Miss, here, here, your buns. The shopkeeper put two cages of xiaolongbao in front of Xu Qingqing with enthusiasm on his face: "You are the lucky customer of our store today, buy one get one free." These two steamed buns are yours. ”
"Really, am I so lucky?!Then I'm not going to be polite!" Xu Qingqing's little face was as happy as a bun.
