Chapter 7: The Appearance of the Chef of Toei

When Yan Laojiu heard Zhu Houzhao finish speaking, he burst out laughing,

"It's really yours, brother, you received an antique treasure like this, your master must have died laughing in his dreams."

"Yes, when my master saw the lotus gold leaf for the first time, he was simply shocked, he said, 'It's so shocking, it's shocking, I just heard in the book that the Tang Dynasty can make such a superb gold leaf, but I didn't expect that I would actually get this thing, I was shocked, this person Tang Xianzong's handwriting made me feel that time has gone back to the past, as if I was from the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao said,

"So where is this gold leaf now?" That Yan Laojiu said,

"Hey, it's sold, there was an old man who took care of our business at that time, he couldn't look at anything, and then my master couldn't do anything, so he took out the gold leaf, after all, we have to rely on the prince to eat, if we are not satisfied this time, he will not come in the future, and he will not help us introduce business, most of our business is introduced by the prince." Zhu Houzhao said,

"How much did it cost?" Yan Laojiu said,

"Hey, I originally said I was giving us a thousand taels of silver." Zhu Houzhao said,

"One thousand taels, that's a lot." Yan Laojiu's eyes lit up,

"Alas, but I didn't get it, I only got two hundred taels, and there was no follow-up, he is always like this, we are used to it." Zhu Houzhao said,

"It's a shame, it's a shame." Yan Laojiu said,

"It's nothing, we are not collectors, we just buy and sell, and we can make money." Zhu Houzhao said,

"yes, come, let's drink and eat, haha." Yan Laojiu said,

"Okay, haha, there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, then Brother Dongfang came to Chenguanzhen this time, did he want to do some business and go back, or did he come here to play." Yan Laojiu asked seemingly casually,

"This time I came to collect some cultural relics, we do business, thousands of miles just for money, this goods from south to north, are all to walk around, maybe you will find good things." Zhu Houzhao said,

"yes, if you find something good, you'll send it." Yan Laojiu said,

"Yes, although the money earned comes and goes quickly, but if I can make a good amount of money, I won't work so hard, I will spend most of my time at home to maintain my health, and train other young people." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Haha, okay, that's right." Yan Laojiu was drinking and thinking,

"By the way, brother, brother, I have something, brother is interested." Yan Laojiu said,

"Oh, tell me, what kind of stuff." Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said,

"It's calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of things, I can't say." Yan Laojiu said,

Zhu Houzhao knew that Yan Laojiu was talking about those things that were robbed, but the fish had already taken the bait, so let's deal with it slowly.

"Oh, brother, those things are worth a lot of money, maybe you can find treasures from them, but they may also be worthless." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Just see the love between you and my brother, don't you also want to make money, you just have to pay a fair price." Yan Laojiu said,

"Don't worry, my brother is not a rookie, I will definitely offer a price that my brother is very satisfied with." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Okay, brother, come to eat and drink, after we finish eating, you can go to my brother's place to see, okay." Yan Laojiu said,

"Okay, we'll leave later." Zhu Houzhao said,

When you have a hearty meal, the second child comes over, "Objectively, what dishes do you need to add, I see that your dishes are almost finished." ”

"Then bring some of the dish you mentioned." Yan Laojiu said,

Soon, those Dongying dishes came over soon,

Zhu Hou took care of it, and brought it to two square plates, one for himself and one for Yan Laojiu, and there were a few meat dishes on the plate, which looked like sea fish, shrimp, shellfish, and a few green side dishes, a few things that looked like rice, and a small wine jug.

"Pretty good." Yan Laojiu's eyes lit up,

"Oh, that's good, I haven't eaten anything like this." Zhu Houzhao remembered that some people once wanted to make this for themselves in the palace, but he didn't want to eat it at that time, because he heard that those meat dishes were raw.

"This is sea bream, this fish is delicious, usually eat this in early spring." Yan Laojiu said,

"Oh, what kind of fish do you eat in summer and winter?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Then we eat pine fish in early summer, eel in midsummer, mackerel in early fall, saury in autumn, salmon in late autumn, crucian carp and dolphins in winter." Yan Laojiu said,

"Oh, that's all there is to learn." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, the cooking method is different from the Central Plains cuisine, it is generally very light, the sea fish with different seasons with seasonal vegetables, the method is light and less oily, and the original fragrance of the dish is required."

"It must be very comfortable to eat." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, it's very good, it's sushi, and the method is quite exquisite."

"Well, I'll taste it." Zhu Houzhao picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, a little raw, but fortunately, he immediately ate the aroma of the dish, but mixed with some sour and spicy seasonings.

"That's good." Zhu Houzhaolai,

"Come on, have a drink." Yan Laojiu poured the wine from the small wine pot into a small cup and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao took the wine glass and drank it slowly, although this wine is not as strong as Xinghuacun Fenjiu and Sichuan's tribute wine, but it is also quite flavorful.

Zhu Houzhao also feels that he has become a Dongying person at this moment,

"Please." Yan Laojiu continued, Zhu Hou looked at him, and felt that he drank sake and ate food, as if he had returned to the place of his soul, Zhu Houzhao was moved, no wonder he was from Dongying,

He thought to himself, if only these Dongying people didn't come to our Central Plains to kill and rob, everyone got along in harmony, not the best.

But if they want to rob and kill, I will also fight violence with violence.

The two of them chatted while eating, and soon ate all the food and drank the wine.

When the sake went down to the stomach, Yan Laojiu couldn't help but sing a song to that, I think it was Dongying Song, although Yan Laojiu's voice was very low,

Zhu Houzhao saw Yan Laojiu singing a song that he didn't know, he smiled in his heart, and thought to himself, people, after drinking a little wine, his true form was revealed.

After they were full of wine and food, they took a few sips of tea, "It's so comfortable, how can the food you eat on weekdays be so delicious." Yan Laojiu said,

"Come out of the rivers and lakes, just bear with it." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, forbearance, I've endured it for a long time, and I don't know when it's a head." Yan Laojiu said,

"Then go back, when you have earned enough money, you will go back to your hometown." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Alas, I can't go back, I wish I could go back." Yan Laojiu said,

"Why?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Alas, brother, don't ask, sometimes people just can't help themselves." Yan Laojiu said,
