After the Tang Dynasty princes were born, it was impossible for their mothers to breastfeed, because it was troublesome for them to feed their children, and the other was not conducive to competing for favor with other concubines, so it was necessary for the nurses. Li Bao www.biquge.info from birth to the age of eight, he followed Liang Hongmei to take care of and serve. The relationship between the two is better than that of Wang Jieyu, the biological mother. When the princes grow up, the nurses will slowly withdraw from the lives of the princes, and the nurses of the royal children are all selected by the good families in Chang'an, and they must have an innocent family background and good looks to be selected. As soon as Li Bao heard Yun Niang's report, he immediately put down his pen and went to the outer hall to greet the nurse Aunt Liang.

Liulang Wanfu, recently handsome and a lot more pretty, when he grows into a big husband that day, I don't know how many young women from the official family in Chang'an City will be fascinated. Li Bao touched his head, "The eldest lady praised it, I don't want to be entangled with those shallow women all day long, I just want to live safely and securely in this imperial city." After Li Bao finished speaking, both of them were a little silent, and Aunt Liang was a little sad, feeling that this child who had been raised by herself for eight years always revealed a faint melancholy and panic in his bones, and he always couldn't see through it. Maybe that's why when I face him, I can always unconsciously stimulate my mother's desire to protect. However, she also knows that in today's palace, it is not easy for the prince and nobles to grow up safely. Although Rokuro is close to himself, he will not completely communicate with himself, after all, he is a prince, and there is still a big gap between him and his own nurse. I just want to watch him well, grow up safely, grow up in peace, grow up in peace, and be content without calamity.

Liang Hongmei dispelled the thoughts in her heart, smiled, and said to Li Bao, "The iron pot that Liulang told me to build has been ready, do you think you are still satisfied with this pot?" Li Bao saw a swarthy iron pot on the table next to Aunt Liang, hurriedly walked over, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it felt very heavy, the wall of the pot was very thick, and there were three short foot supports at the bottom of the pot. Li Bao considered that there was no iron pot in this era, and there was also the level of craftsmanship, so he did not ask the blacksmith to build it according to the oval shape of later generations, but to build it according to the style of later generations, because the ancient iron-making technology was not very mature, so the output was not high. Iron is mainly used for important items such as weapons and agricultural tools, and it cannot be produced in large quantities for civilian items such as pots and stoves and kitchen knives. Moreover, stir-fry did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, and people mainly used pots and utensils such as casseroles and copper tripods, and cooking food was mainly on steaming and grilling. After Li Bao came to this time and space, he was used to the diet of the later generations and always felt that something was missing without stir-frying, and Liang Hongmei's family was outside the palace, so Li Bao drew drawings and asked her to find a blacksmith outside to build an iron pot. The blacksmith's craftsmanship is not bad, and the walls of the pot have been thinned as much as possible, although a little unsatisfactory, but it is also good. Li Bao took the iron pot, and ran to the kitchen outside the palace to ask the palace people in the kitchen to hurry up and make a fire, he wanted to test the heat transfer of this pot. I tried it, and it only took ten minutes to boil a pot of water on high fire, and the thermal conductivity was not bad. Yun Niang and Hu Lingbao were both following Li Bao, and they really didn't understand that Li Bao was so excited about a black iron basin, and they were a little puzzled. Yun Niang finally couldn't help it and asked, "Liulang, what is this black iron basin made of, why is it still boiling water?" Li Bao turned his head, pinched her smooth cheek with his hand, and said with a smile: "This is an iron pot, with it, I can cook more delicious dishes, aren't you happy?" ”

Li Bao is only ten years old now, and he is not as tall as Yun Niang, so he touched her face and still tiptoed. As soon as Li Bao touched her face, her face turned red instantly, and she only felt that what was wrong with Liulang, how could she touch her daughter's face so casually in front of everyone's eyes? I was confused, and I didn't hear what Li Bao said later. However, Liang Hongmei and Hu Lingbao next to them were a little surprised when they saw Li Bao like this. The other palace people pretended not to see anything, but there was a smile on the corner of their mouths. Li Bao looked at Yun Niang's expression, and knew that he had forgotten his form, although he was very old in his heart, and pinching a little Lori like Yun Niang was just a pampering expression. But the reality is that he is still a ten-year-old child, pinching the girl's face like this, it's really a bit of that, but he can't explain it yet, the more he explains, the more he can't explain it, and then look at the corners of his mouth around him, he just turned his head and ordered the palace people in the kitchen to get a piece of fat pork and prepare to refine the pot. Everyone saw that Li Bao started a new instruction, so they put the little episode just now, and Yun Niang was still here, so she couldn't be too careful, otherwise the little lady would be even more embarrassed.

After a while, the pork came, and Li Bao instructed the palace people to refine the iron pot with fatty pork, and then carefully washed it several times, and then instructed the cook to wash the vegetables and then cut the mutton, and prepare condiments. Half an hour later (an hour) and then Li Bao put on an apron and began to cook in person and began to show his skills, Liang Hongmei and the others were not surprised, they were all watching from the side, watching the Tang prince as a cook to prepare meals for their slaves, all of them were very proud, and they were also the only treatment in this Tang Dynasty.

Li Bao was busy for most of the hour, and the first table of iron pot stir-fry in the Tang Dynasty was served. Since the Tang Dynasty was still a little particular about ingredients, such as pork, the upper class did not eat it. In addition, in order to protect the cultivated cattle, beef is basically forbidden to eat. The main meat of the upper class is mutton, poultry such as chickens and ducks are not counted as meat, and carp is also forbidden because of the need to avoid Li Tang. But there are also a lot of ingredients from the Western Regions, such as eggplant, which the Tang people call purple melon. Cucumber is called courgette, Chinese cabbage is called woad, spinach is called Persian cuisine, etc. The seasonings are basically the same as those of later generations, but at that time, many seasonings were still used as medicinal materials, such as cinnamon and star anise. , but the chili pepper can only be replaced with dogwood, and the spicy taste is okay, after all, Li Bao is not from Sichuan, and he is not spicy. Li Bao made four dishes and one soup based on the existing ingredients: braised mutton, hot and sour cabbage, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored eggplant and a spinach egg soup. These dishes were relatively home-cooked dishes in later generations, but the three of them had never eaten them, so the four masters and servants feasted in the dining hall and ate happily. As for the other palace people, they have their own cooks to take care of, after all, the noble prince has already demonstrated and taught, and the cooks can still learn the same. The four masters and servants were full of food and drink, and their own palace people cleaned up the mess, Li Bao and Liang Damiang went to the inner hall to talk, and since there were no outsiders present, Li Bao asked Liang Damiang to sit down and talk.

Yun Niang went outside to make tea and brought it in, Li Bao asked Hu Lingbao to stay outside, Li Bao said: "What does the nurse think of the dishes I made today?" Aunt Liang took a sip of tea and praised: "These dishes are really delicious, how can Liulang make such delicious dishes?" Li Bao smiled: "These are all things I see in the book." As soon as Aunt Liang and Yun Niang heard this answer, they both knew that Li Bao was perfunctory to them, if there were recipes in the book, wouldn't all the people in the world become chefs? But Li Bao has given them a lot of surprises in the past eleven years, and they are also puzzled by this, after all, Li Bao grew up under the watchful eyes of Liang Hongmei, and Li Bao's difference can only be seen as being born with Huigen. Li Bao looked at the expressions of the two of them and knew that his excuse was too perfunctory, but he couldn't explain his origin clearly, not to mention whether they could believe it, it was estimated that he would be regarded as a monster or crazy.

Li Bao continued: "I know that the nursing mother's husband's family is quite good outside the palace, and it is considered a middle-class family, but there is still a gap between it and the rich family, I have an idea, I plan to open a restaurant outside the palace." I wonder if the eldest lady is willing to participate? When Liang Hongmei heard that Li Bao wanted to pull her to make money together, she was still unwilling, she ate these dishes today, and the food she ate on weekdays was really different. The dignitaries in Chang'an City will definitely like it too. If you open a restaurant, the income can be worse? I hurriedly agreed. Li Bao continued, "Use these dishes of mine to open a restaurant, of course, I have a lot of new dishes, I will not just these few dishes, I will give you some new dishes regularly." Of course, there must be some capital to open a restaurant, I have been saving all the monthly money over the years, and there are more than 200 yuan, these money plus my recipes are counted as 60% of the dry shares, and the nursing mother's husband's family invests another 100 yuan as the capital accounts for 30% of the shares, how about it? ”

Liang Hongmei pondered for a while, for the capital of one hundred guan, her family can still take it out, and immediately replied: "Lang Jun's recipe is worth a thousand gold, and he has to come up with the capital, this is unacceptable, the principal of three hundred guan can be released by a certain family, Lang Jun only needs to produce the recipe, as for the shares Lang Jun sixty percent, a certain family thirty percent, how to deal with the remaining one percent?" Li Bao looked at Yun Niang and said, "Yun Niang, let's go, Hu San'er call in." Yun Niang called Hu Lingbao in, Li Bao said to the three of them: "Since I was born, you have taken care of it wholeheartedly, I can't repay this affection, now I and the nurse plan to partner to open a restaurant business, thinking about making some money so that you can also share the profits, the remaining one percent of the shares, divided into ten shares, Yun Niang and Hu Lingbao each accounted for three shares, and the remaining four shares were counted as the year-end dividends of the shopkeeper after the store opened." When Aunt Liang and the other three heard this, they immediately agreed. Especially Hu Lingbao and Yun Niang, they are even more overjoyed, it is their duty to take care of Lang Jun by themselves, and now Lang Jun wants to make money and does not forget himself, the monthly money of the servants in the palace is only a hundred pennies, and the principal of the restaurant does not need them to come out, this is the money sent by Lang Jun for nothing, the two of them were eager to take out their hearts to Li Bao to express their loyalty, and they secretly swore in their hearts to Li Bao.

Aunt Liang and Li Bao argued about the principal for a while, but finally failed to fight Li Bao, or according to the original plan, Li Bao and Liang Hongmei combined 300 yuan to make a book and open a restaurant. Li Bao provides recipes and chef training, and the restaurant is all operated by the Zhao family of Liang Da Niang's family, Li Bao's trust in Liang Da Niang's family is also a temptation, if they can pass the test of this restaurant, there will be more business to them in the future, after all, they have too many things to "invent and create" as a traverser, and they don't have to worry about copyright issues.

After the matter of the shares was negotiated, Liang Hongmei calculated that it was not easy for the restaurant to open, and it was not easy to recruit people to purchase goods and choose ingredients in the rental place, and there were many cumbersome things to handle. Li Bao waved his hand, why bother so much, just buy one directly, so that the store will be in charge of the source of customers, and the ingredients will be solved. When Liang Hongmei heard it, why didn't she think of it? However, if you want to buy a better restaurant in this restaurant, two hundred guan is not enough, today's Chang'an City, there are not a few big businessmen in the west and east of the city, and there are not a few big businessmen in the east of the city, and what can really be bought by three hundred guan is a medium-sized restaurant, Li Bao thought about it, yes, his own private money is still saved for ten years, since he can't buy a high-end restaurant, he can get a medium first, and his dishes are still worried about not being able to find guests, so he instructed, buy a restaurant, and the rest can be settled. However, the decoration and layout of the restaurant must be high-end and atmospheric, and the dishes provided by themselves are never in Datang, and after the opening, it is necessary to be a high-end customer, so the taste of the hotel can not be low.

Liang Hongmei nodded yes, and then asked, "What is the name of the restaurant?" Li Bao replied: "I thought of two names, you can help refer to them, one is 'Zhenyu Building', and the other is 'Qianjin Building'." "Liang Hongmei Yunniang and Hu Lingbao both said that Qianjinlou is atmospheric, Zhenyulou is too straightforward, and Li Bao also thinks that Qianjinlou is heroic enough, so he set the name of the store of 'Qianjinlou'.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally agreed, Liang Hongmei said goodbye and left the palace, and then Li Bao went to take a nap.
