He had already made up his mind that he would not care if the food was good or not.

Anyway, I just took those gangs to coax and said that it was not delicious.

Make Sun Bingwen disgraced, see how embarrassed he will be to do this restaurant in the future!

But wait for Zhang Dafu to come to the counter.

When I saw the long bamboo card, I found that there was a "stir-fried so-and-so, slippery stir-fry, so-and-so small fry, onion fried so-and-so", and the food used had been seen, but I had never heard of the method.

Zhang Dafu had to pretend not to understand, and pretended to order a few dishes.

Everyone saw that Zhang Dafu had ordered, and each table also stepped forward to order a few dishes.

Although the "three-step pour" is said to be free, everyone doesn't order too much, for fear that it will be unpalatable.

Don't really eat a bad stomach as Zhang Dafu said, then the gains outweigh the losses.

However, in this case, Li Xingzhou and Persimmon have long been prepared.

Today's menus next to the counter are dishes that are easier to prepare than they can take or effort.

Early this morning, the persimmons were prepared with a knife and just waited for the pot to be fried.

As for those troublesome dishes, I can only owe them today.

Li Xingzhou helped persimmons stir-fry, and a few newly hired young men were mainly responsible for passing the dishes, and they couldn't do it for the time being.

Soon, the dishes with bright colors, aromas, and beautiful shapes were brought up on trays by the guys, and a jar of soju was served on each table.

The salty, sweet, sour, spicy, fragrant and delicious fish-flavored shredded pork.

The red color, fat but not greasy back to the pot meat.

The crispy and refreshing, tasteless scallion fried mutton, before it was eaten, it was already full of shock.

Zhang Dafu saw this dish full of color and fragrance, and said to himself.

"It's just a façade!"

But apparently no one listened to Zhang Dafu's nonsense anymore, seeing these dishes with full color and flavor, the diners had long forgotten those rumors and ate them with chopsticks.

"It's delicious!"

The diners were feasting on their hearts and minds as they couldn't help but shout.

"Oh my God, how can there be such a delicacy in the world!"

"Woo, I almost ate my tongue together!"

"As for ......"

Boss Zhang Dafu pursed his lips and was very unconvinced to say to those gangs.

"Isn't it just a few broken dishes, do you say it's ......?"

However, this time, Zhang Dafu did not get the response of the idle people on his table, because all the idle people under him were bored and flying with chopsticks, competing for dishes.

When every second counts, if you say a word more, you will eat one less dish, and how can his idle men still care about it.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dafu couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks with some doubts, and put a chopsticks of fish-flavored shredded meat in his mouth, ah...... This, this fucking delicious.

The salty and sweet, sour and spicy taste, just like the empathetic and colorful Goolan Flower Girl, gives people everything they want, and makes people want to stop......

Zhang Dafu couldn't care about squeezing Sun Bingwen anymore, and hurriedly grabbed dishes for those gangsters.

Some people felt that eating the food was too light, so they remembered that there was still wine on the table, and poured a bowl at the moment, intending to eat and drink at the same time.

After taking a big sip of wine, his face suddenly turned red.

"Sizzle...... Straight lady thief, this wine is too fucking strong! ”

Everyone listened to the guy's call, and then remembered that there was still wine on the table, and they only cared about grabbing the food and eating it just now, and they didn't care about drinking, so they all poured it and drank it immediately.

"Ah, good wine, the entrance is like a knife, the stomach is like fire, this is really good wine!"

"This wine is extremely clear, it is really comparable to the elixir and jade liquid!"

"This wine should only be available in heaven, and the world can drink it a few times!"

For a while, people were crazy and completely conquered by the "three-step pour" wine and food.

In the afternoon, many diners who had eaten stir-fried vegetables and drank soju flocked to the restaurant.

As for Zhang Dafu and the gang of idlers, after eating the stir-fry and drinking, they slipped away.

As for the gambling contract, Sun Bingwen was too busy to mention it again, Zhang Dafu naturally pretended to be stupid, but I am afraid that he will no longer be embarrassed to make trouble in the future.

From afternoon to evening, Li Xingzhou and Persimmon made a total of more than 50 tables of dishes.

In the evening, all the ingredients available in the restaurant have been used up, and there are still many diners waiting outside the door.

The large number of diners outside the door naturally attracts the attention of many people.

An ox cart was approaching slowly, and the street was wide.

The curtain of the ox cart was so tightly covered that the two men paid no attention to the cart.

This ox cart is the favorite car of the gate lord clan since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Unless they go out far or hurry, they will ride in oxen carts.

Because the ox cart is slow and steady, the carriage is spacious and tall, and you can sit and lie down at will.

It is more suitable for the children of the noble clan who are pampered and wandering wantonly.

This kind of atmosphere was still popular among the wealthy families at this time.

It will not gradually disappear until the end of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the rise of the Song Dynasty.

The oncoming ox cart was a tank-cart with a rectangular carriage with a canopy, a rear door, and draped curtains. There are lattice windows in front of and on both sides of the shed, and the vaulted roof has a long eaves in the front and back.

The car was draped with draperies.

Embroidered with plum blossom pattern, the four sides are decorated with silk tassels, which is extremely gorgeous.

The royal car man walks on foot, leisurely.

A man in white in his thirties sat in the car and pretended to sleep.

Wei Hanshuang sat next to him, raising the curtain and gently looking at the street scene.

"Wow!"

Wei Hanshuang's delicate body was shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

The man in white, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes and glanced at her.

Wei Hanshuang hurriedly lowered the curtains, and the man in white said: "Wei Hanshuang, your temperament recently is much less calm than before. ”

"Yes,......"

Wei Hanshuang answered, and stopped talking.

The white-clothed man's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Hanshuang lowered his head slightly.

"Son-of-law...... I saw him again. ”

"Him?"

The man in white was a little confused, but Wei Hanshuang's life was very simple, and the outsiders he met were really limited.

Childe's mind only turned slightly, and then he suddenly said.

"The one who saved you? Why make a fuss when you see him? ”

Wei Hanshuang smiled slightly and said.

He ...... I've opened a restaurant. ”

"Oh?"

The white-clothed man, who has always been motionless and as steady as Mount Tai, can't help but be curious.

The man in white couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out, watching so many people line up.

This is a little shocking.

"Childe?"

Wei Hanshuang is very strange, and the son who has always been distracted and has eyes above the top will be interested in Li Xingzhou.

The man in white stroked the strings with his hand, groaned for a while, and asked again.

"This person, you should pay more attention in the future. Perhaps, it will be useful! ”

Wei Hanshuang was secretly stunned, and said in his heart.

"What the son is planning is very important, once he fails, he will be killed, and he will be killed."

"I was blessed with my son's life, and handed over the red breeze door to me, and I thought I would sacrifice my life for my son, but why should I implicate that guy to come in."

As soon as I thought of this, I felt remorse, regretting that I shouldn't have spoken up to my son.

The boy in white didn't know the thoughts that were spinning in her heart.

Wei Hanshuang was taken in by him and watched him grow up, and he never disobeyed his orders since he was a child.

He couldn't guess that Wei Hanshuang had already had the idea of maintaining it in his heart in order to bear to pull Li Xingzhou into the water.

The boy in white only thought that she had written it down and had finished her instructions, and his mind drifted elsewhere.

.......

And over there.

Li Xingzhou had to give Sun Bingwen an idea, asking the diners who were waiting outside the door today to register at the counter and come back tomorrow.

Tomorrow, priority will be given to these diners who have registered for the record, and they will still be given free of charge, and the diners will disperse.

Chinese cooking has always had the saying of "seven points of knife work and three points of hot frying", "no knife can not be a dish"!

To be a qualified chef, knife work is the necessary foundation.

If you want to be a good chef, you need to be a good knife player!

Although Li Xingzhou can cook many dishes, it is based on more than 1,000 years of advanced knowledge.

You can make dishes that are beyond this era, but the knife work is hehehe.

After all, he hadn't really taken the time to hone his knife skills.

Even if the knife work is similar, you still have to practice spooning. When stir-frying, spooning is also a skill that must be mastered.

Of course, the iron pot used to make the spoon is not the heavy iron pot originally used for stewing, but a small thin iron pot suitable for stir-frying according to Li Xingzhou's requirements.

The thick iron pot used for stewing is not filled with stones, and persimmons and bears cannot be lifted with two hands.

Nowadays, the stove of the "three-step inverted" kitchen has been replaced with this thin iron pot suitable for stir-frying, and the stove is also equipped with a bellows designed by Li Xingzhou.

After practicing the spoon, Li Xingzhou began to teach persimmons to make all kinds of stir-fried dishes, there is no quick way to do this, the different order of each dish and the length of time to stir-fry will affect the quality of the dishes, so he can only teach Sun Bingwen the dishes he will make step by step.

As for making soju, it is relatively simple, there is the original brewing workshop in the backyard of the "three-step pour", and Sun Bingwen built a big house in the backyard according to Li Xingzhou's requirements for the workshop of steaming wine.

Li Xingzhou specially instructed to use bricks and stones, most of the houses in this era were wooden structures, but this room needed to be lit and steamed all day long, and Li Xingzhou was really afraid of fire.

After the steaming workshop was built, Li Xingzhou instructed Sun Bingwen to install the steamer, install copper pipes and a pool for cooling.

After everything was ready, Li Xingzhou found that the restaurant was not manpowered, and he and Sun Bingwen went to the east of the city to pick four teenagers as helpers.

The four teenagers selected by Li Xingzhou and Sun Bingwen all look honest and responsible, and they are all orphans who lost their families and were helpless in the flood.

Sun Bingwen signed a fifteen-year pawn contract with the four teenagers, and the four teenagers pawned themselves and pawned them as slaves in the "three steps".

Nowadays, Datang does not support the storage of slaves, even if the pawn of a large family buys slaves, the maximum period is fifteen years, Datang is not allowed to sign a death deed, and after the pawn contract expires, the slave must be freed.

Sun Bingwen and the four teenagers were paid very well as stated in the deeds of the four teenagers.

In fact, Li Xingzhou originally wanted to sign an employment contract.

But Sun Bingwen said that signing the deed of pawn was more binding on them.

After all, the master-slave relationship is more binding than the employment relationship.

An orphan who fled the famine without a support.

The restaurant gives them a job, a high salary, a trade, and a pawn contract, as long as the restaurant treats them well, they are not very likely to have other ideas.

This is also more conducive to the protection of stir-fry and shochu techniques.

Of course, at first, Li Xingzhou and Sun Bingwen would not let them come into contact with stir-frying and distilling liquor, and they mainly helped in the kitchen to do miscellaneous work such as washing vegetables, selecting vegetables, lighting the fire, and throwing grain and producing sake lees when brewing liquor in the early days of the winery.

This is also to keep the skills of stir-fry and shochu as secret as possible.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Xingzhou handed over the business of the restaurant to Persimmon and Big Bear.

began to live a shameless life with Wei Hanshuang again.

The dishes that Li Xingzhou can cook have basically been taught to persimmons.

However, recently, many seasonal vegetables have been on the market, and Li Xingzhou and Persimmon have newly researched many seasonal dishes.

As for the relatively simple aspect of soju, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than distillation, but no one thought of this method before Datang.

"Jade liquid roast" and "Erguotou" have a high degree and a strong taste, which is more suitable for rough men.

The literati of the Tang Dynasty pay attention to peace and dilution, and they also pay attention to a graceful demeanor when drinking, and this high level of soju is obviously not suitable for them to drink.

Just imagine, a handsome scribe, a few glasses of soju, with a red face and a thick neck, how can there be any demeanor at all.

With this in mind, Li Xingzhou deliberately made a low-alcohol soju for the literati and scholars, which was the "Jade Liquid Qing" mentioned to Sun Bingwen that time.

This "jade liquid clear" is about 20 degrees, which is not much higher than the degree of fermented wine in the Tang Dynasty, and about the same degree as the degree of Japanese sake in later generations.

Of course, the name "Jade Liquid", Li Xingzhou mainly wants to explain that it is as clear as Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid, and has nothing to do with Japanese sake.

In addition, the method of making the two is different, and Japanese sake is mainly fermented sake.

"Jade liquid clear" is a distilled liquor, which is obtained by mixing high shochu with a certain amount of distilled water and then distilling it in a steamer.

In the past few days, Li Xingzhou is still pointing out in the restaurant in the morning.

After lunch at the restaurant, I returned home early.

Although, he and Wei Hanshuang have not yet married.

However, the two of them had a good time.

Li Xingzhou looked at the side of the road, but it was the public who was holding a few prisoners.

Two of the prisoners were chained to large yokes.

The flail was six feet long, four feet wide, five inches thick, and weighed a hundred pounds.

Even if it is on the car, if you toss for a long time, you will definitely die.

There were also a few people next to him.

He only wore a light flail, but he was wearing the clothes of a death row prisoner, and a "beheading" sign was inserted on the back of his neck.

All of them are tied with flowers, and their faces are like earth.

Behind them, there were many men and women in prison clothes, screaming and scolding.

They have become death row prisoners, and they are about to die in an instant, so naturally they can shout~!

"Huh?"

Li Xingzhou was secretly surprised, and asked the scholar next to him in a low voice.

"Why are these people arrested? What did you do? ”

"I don't know about these people, these people are all related to Xu Jingye's betrayal of the party."

"Now that the case has happened, the queen of heaven is furious, and now she is about to be sent to the execution ground for beheading."

Li Xingzhou "tsk" continuously, and suddenly saw that Zhang Chujin, the official secretary of the autumn government, was also tied up.

I couldn't help asking.

"Zhang Shangshu is an important minister of the imperial court, didn't he issue a pardon at the beginning?"

"Why are you tied up to the execution ground?"

This pardon is the legendary gold medal for avoiding death.

In fact, it is not a gold brand, but a pardon.

An official who has been granted a pardon may be exempted from the death penalty once.

There are more than a dozen officials in the DPRK and China who hold the pardon.

The scholar said with a strange look on his face.

"At the beginning of the year, Zhang Shangshu formulated a new law."

"If anyone commits the great sin of treason, even if he holds the pardon, he can avoid death."

But his family should also be severely punished, either executed or confiscated as slaves as an example.

The queen of heaven felt that it made sense, so she allowed it. Who knows......"

"Now although Zhang Shangshu has an amnesty decree, he can avoid death and be assigned to the border famine."

"But all the men in his family over the age of fifteen are to be beheaded."

"As for those wives and concubines, daughters, and maidservants, all of them have not entered the palace and have become slaves and maids."

When Li Xingzhou heard this, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face, and he said after a while.

"Isn't this lifting a rock and hitting yourself in the foot?"

The scholar walked beside Li Xingzhou.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of those death row prisoners, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhang Siming came up with such a law, originally to cater to the queen of heaven."

"I can't think of it, but I kill myself, and the first thing is really on himself."

The people along the way laughed: "What is this, have you seen those two wearing flails?" ”

"Those two are Xu Jingye's brother Xu Jingzhen and Luoyang Ling Zhang Siming, they were dragged to accompany the kidnapping to watch the killing."

"The kind of flail they wear is what Zhang Siming came up with, and it is specially used to punish repeat offenders."

"It's good now, he himself has tasted the power of that flail."

When they heard this, they sighed.

......

When Li Xingzhou returned home, he first went to see the potatoes and sweet potatoes he had grown.

The potato leaves are green and look good.

Those sweet potatoes that were planted early have not been short of branches.

The sweet potatoes in the manhole no longer sprout new seedlings, and Li Xingzhou decided to pinch the last branch and plant it today, and he will not plant it again in the future.

However, it is not possible to pinch the branches and vines now, it is too hot at noon, and you have to wait for the evening to cool down and pinch and then plant.

Li Xingzhou saw sweet potatoes and potatoes, so he came to the stone table resting in the shade of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and began to practice calligraphy.

Li Xingzhou has a headache about reading, but he has no resistance to learning characters, not that he likes to write much.

As a chicken anchor, he is not only interested in eating chicken.

He had no interest in anything.

He practiced calligraphy only he recognized.

It is a very beneficial thing to write a good book in this era.

Li Xingzhou was tired of writing, so he raised his head.

He saw Wei Hanshuang silently watching her from the side, and his heart warmed.

has been with Li Xingzhou for a long time, and the color of her dress will inevitably be affected.

Long skirts and trousers, a moon-white robe decorated with simple patterns and plain shoulders.

Recently, Li Xingzhou prefers to dress up in a white and beautiful way, so Wei Hanshuang likes to wear red, yellow and green dresses in the past, and wears less at this time.

Li Xingzhou laughed.

Then, his figure shrouded him, and Wei Hanshuang's face was still a little confused, but at this time he settled down.

"Tomorrow, let's go on a spring outing!"

Li Xingzhou said affectionately that the "three steps" in the past few days have made some money.

But he was a little cold to Wei Hanshuang.

In order not to let Wei Hanshuang be lost, he suddenly thought of this good idea.
