"The shopkeeper, among the four leftovers in front of him, the first cold tomato and the third dry bitter gourd have only some soup left, and it is really difficult to find out from this soup. But the second cherry meat and the fourth spicy chicken are still some leftover, of which the cherry meat is rumored to be the imperial meal, the people of Chang'an City do not know how to cook, and the spicy chicken is unheard of, especially the name of the chili pepper, its spicy is particularly dogwood, and with a unique aroma, if this thing is added in some dishes, the dish will inevitably show another flavor. ”

"It is said that today not only His Royal Highness King Qi is here, but also Princess Runan and Xiao Bowen. Especially Na Xiao Bowen, today's events must be spread in the capital from his mouth, and the people in Beijing will inevitably talk about each other, and the rules of the game during the banquet will surely become a joke after the dinner. There are definitely many customers who want to try these four dishes in front of them. How can the Saijia have nothing to do with us, I just want to know, can you emulate these dishes with your strength? ”

Hu Bei took such pains to understand the situation, just to take advantage of this matter to find business opportunities. As a result, business opportunities have really appeared!

But Hu Bei is not a chef, whether he can imitate these dishes, and whether he can succeed can only listen to the chef.

The chef in front of him looked through a few plates on the table again, and frowned: "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid this is a bit tricky." First of all, we don't have the raw materials for the first and third dishes, we don't have the chili peppers in the fourth dish, and the second dish is the imperial food of the palace. ”

Hu Bei continued to stroke his beard: "I'm afraid I can't make exactly the same dish, what if it's not exactly the same?" For example, if there is no fist-sized tomato, we will use ordinary tomatoes instead, and if there are no chili peppers, we will use dogwood. However, if this name is changed to the name on the Saijia banquet, it will attract many guests in the future. ”

The cook nodded: "That's the only way to try it first." ”

Hu Bei still had a plan, and said to the other person: "Keep an eye on Saijia these days to see where the raw materials for these dishes come from." ”

……

At this time, the Saijia -

The people were busy cleaning up the mess left by the guests.

In the main hall, the eldest lady was on the top seat, and Xia Shang was sitting on the side.

In front of everyone, sitting next to the eldest lady, this kind of treatment made everyone passing by look envious.

The feast is over, the wind is calm, and everything is in plan.

But the eldest lady did not show a trace of joy, but sat down in contemplation with relief.

Xia Shang was a little puzzled: "Madam, everything is over, why did you come to show such an expression?" ”

"Hey!" The eldest lady sighed heavily, "Dangerous! It's dangerous! Think about it, what if someone really eats the last spicy chicken and asks me to take out the freshly woven brocade? Those people are all connoisseurs, and you can tell at a glance whether the flowers are old or new. At that point, all the hard work I had done would be in vain. ”

"Don't worry. Even if someone does eat the spicy chicken, I still keep a hand. ”

"Do you have a back hand?"

"Come to think of it, ma'am, what we said before was to finish all the dishes. Even if someone can eat all the chicken, there won't be anyone who can eat all the spicy food on the plate, right? Therefore, no matter what happens, in the end, the guests will not have the opportunity to see Hua Jinzi. ”

As soon as she heard Xia Shang's plan, the corners of the eldest lady's mouth twitched, and she said in her heart that just eating chicken is spicy to death, who would dare to eat a plate of spicy food, this is not a direct death?

Now, the eldest lady felt that her insidious prediction of the cook was not enough.

"Why didn't you say it sooner? It made me worry for a long time. ”

"Madam, if I say it, I'm afraid you're going to say that I'm not acting in a fair way, so I don't want to tell Madame when I don't need to do this."

"So you also know the word "Leiluo"? But today's situation is all thanks to you, according to the agreement between you and me, you can receive ten taels of wages a month in the future. ”

Xia Shang was nothing, and calmly said thank you, but the people who cleaned the hall were stunned when they heard it. The look in each other's eyes was clearly saying, "Did I hear me right?" Ten taels a month? ”

At this time, Xia Shang suddenly spoke: "Madam, I have another request, I hope you will grant it." ”

"What? Still have requirements? Ten taels a month is not enough? ”

The eldest lady had a flat expression: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Recently, I have worked a lot to prepare for the banquet, and I hope that my wife can grant me a day off, and I want to go around Chang'an City."

"Take a day off?" The eldest lady was surprised, she didn't expect it to be such a simple request, and then smiled, "Of course, you can go and play tomorrow." ”

Xia Shang was overjoyed: "Mrs. Xie! ”

The eldest lady looked at Xia Shang's expression and shook her head helplessly, saying in her heart that she didn't move her eyebrows when she raised her salary, and she smiled crookedly when she took a day off.

Leaving the main hall, Xia Shang just wanted to sleep well, recently it was indeed because he was a little tired from preparing for the banquet, after all, he was in charge of everything alone, after the matter was done, as soon as his spirit relaxed, sleepiness came to his heart.

However, more of the reason is because tomorrow can be a thorough day of play, and only after work can you understand the preciousness of rest days, so Xia Shang doesn't want to waste a minute and a second, so he can recuperate his spirit early and set off early.

After so many days, Xia Shang was very satisfied with his life after the crossing, although it was not brocade clothes and food, but he had daily work every day, and his life had to be fulfilled like this.

Speaking of playing, Xia Shang really hasn't left the Saijia, and after nearly half a month, he hasn't even seen Chang'an City, so Xia Shang is full of expectations tomorrow.

"Are you going to see Suzaku Street? Or take a look at the Royal Palace? Or take a look at Dali Temple? Or ......"

Thinking about it, Xia Shang's eyes lit up!

"In ancient times, the most legendary Qinglou Flower Pavilion was not allowed to see the real face? By the way, let's have another ancient great health care! Dig the groove! These days, I don't have to say anything! Hey, hey, hey......"

"Xia Shang! Xia Shang! What are you giggling at? ”

A weak voice suddenly interrupted Xia Shang's dream.

I don't know when, Xia Shang's Xiao Lanlan suddenly appeared.

"Sister Lan, you, you, you...... How did you end up here? Xia Shang's heart was weak for a while, and he didn't know if what he was thinking just now was understood by her?

Qin Lan bowed her head slightly: "I want to ask you for help." ”

"Help? Say so! Sister Lan's business is my business, no matter how much you go up and down the mountain, you ...... it."

"It's not that serious, I just want to ask you to teach me how to cook."

"No problem. Just say what you want to learn! ”

"The rice cake of that day."

"That's okay!"

Xia Shang agreed very happily, but Qin Lan was a little hesitant, lowering her eyebrows and looking thoughtfully.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?"

"Not really? You don't even ask me why I cook? ”

"Why?" Xia Shang really didn't think about it, but when he thought about it, he was right, "Why does Sister Lan want to cook?" ”

"Because...... Because...... Because my husband doesn't eat other people's food. ”

"Husband!!! Xia Shang was stunned.
