When Gu Wantang put the materials at that time, they didn't mean to look carefully at all because of this, but now that they think about it, no matter what they do, they don't underestimate anyone, the two of them have been cooks all their lives, but they can't make food with such a taste!

Looking at the expressions of the two, Gu Wantang knew that the two of them didn't look at the materials she put at that time, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "Now is not the time to talk about this, I said it, there are distinguished guests in the Hou Mansion, you take out your skills, and when the distinguished guests are entertained, I will tell you about it at that time." ”

With that said, the two chefs glanced at each other, then quickly returned to the stove where they were and got to work.

Gu Wantang also began to choose the ingredients to be used tonight, this rib must be needed, after all, the emperor has designated it, so she has to choose the rest by herself, what is the emperor's taste, she has not figured it out in the imperial dining room these days.

Gu Wantang felt that it was very reasonable for him to not figure it out, after all, the emperor's words would definitely not be able to like a dish, in case someone found out because he had always liked a dish, this colorless and tasteless poison that even silver chopsticks could not try.

If you lose your life because you like a dish, then the gain outweighs the loss, so the emperor's dish is not the same every day, and no one knows which dish the emperor will like.

Gu Wantang chose anchovy shark fin, eight treasure rabbit dices, salted water tenderloin, crab meat and double bamboo shoots, Yipin tofu, crystal plum buns, these six dishes plus sweet and sour pork ribs and Buddha jumping over the wall, it is a full eight dishes.

Gu Wantang has eight dishes here, and the two chefs are also racking their brains to start preparing their own specialty dishes, Gu Wantang has eight dishes, so the remaining eight dishes are theirs.

When the kitchen was hot, in the study of the Wanhu Hou Mansion, the emperor listened to Xiao Qingyu's words, his eyes looked at Xiao Qingyu's body for a while, and then said, "Qingyu means that you want to book a position for the imperial merchant?" ”

Xiao Qingyu nodded yes, "Yes, with the status of the imperial merchant, we will do everything better, but it is not for nothing that we want this name, I discussed it with Wantang, and we can use 20% of our net income to fill the emperor's treasury." ”

The emperor naturally knew that today's time for a day, Xiao Qingyu and they earned 50,000 taels of silver, and these 50,000 taels of silver are the silver obtained today, and the cost of this should be about 35,000 taels of silver, after all, a large part of this silver is what kind of membership card was given by those people.

The emperor didn't know that before he came, Xiao Qingyu directly wanted to give Xiao Qingyi 10,000 taels of silver, he squinted his eyes, and after a while, he nodded, "Yes, isn't there a saying that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, others become imperial merchants and pay silver, and you also have to pay silver when you become an imperial businessman, since they all have to be paid, then I should choose my nephew."

It's just Qingyu, the imperial merchant is stared at by so many merchants every year, this imperial merchant position cannot be given to you at will, if you can give the treasury 100,000 taels of silver within three months, then I will directly give you the name of this imperial merchant. ”

Yu Changning frowned when she heard this, she just wanted to speak, but Xiao Qingyu nodded directly, "Then it's a matter of words." ”

When night fell, Gu Wantang walked up directly with the people from the kitchen and set a large table for their meal.

Looking at the dishes on the table, the emperor smiled, "There are so many dishes, how many dishes are made by Qingyu's daughter-in-law?" ”

When Gu Wantang heard this, he directly reported the name of the dish he made, and every time Gu Wantang reported the name of a dish, the emperor laughed, and after Gu Wantang finished reporting, the emperor nodded to the eunuch beside him.

Hearing this, the eunuch directly took out a pair of silver chopsticks, and then began to taste them, and after eating, the eunuch said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, these dishes are no problem, you can eat them with confidence." ”

The corners of Gu Wantang's mouth twitched, but she felt that it was nothing when she thought that the emperor was like this before every meal.

Smelling the fragrance inside the cup, the emperor asked curiously, "What's in this cup?" ”

Gu Wantang stood up directly, and then said, "This dish is called Buddha jumping over the wall, using abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, kraft gum, king oyster mushrooms, hoof tendons, mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs, etc. ”

"Simmering for three days? If I hadn't come out of the palace, I wouldn't have been able to eat such a delicious Buddha jumping over the wall. ”

Gu Wantang slandered two sentences in her heart, but she didn't show it at all. Variety Literature

When the dinner was finished, the emperor looked at Gu Wantang, "It's not bad for you to be a chef with this skill, I originally had to consider the matter of you becoming an imperial businessman, but because of your cooking skills, I decided that after returning to the palace, I will directly issue a holy decree and give you the title of imperial businessman, but I have one condition in addition to the previous conditions." ”

Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang glanced at each other, and saw joy in each other's eyes, Xiao Qingyu stood up directly, "If the emperor has any conditions, you might as well say it directly, what we can do is not a condition!" ”

"When you become a Buddha jumping over the wall in the future, don't forget about me."

The corners of Gu Wantang's mouth twitched, and then nodded yes.

After dinner, it was indeed too late, Yu Changning and Xiao Yuran took the emperor to a house in their courtyard, and Xiao Qingyi also went back to sleep, and there were only Gu Wantang and Xiao Qingyu in the entire dining room.

After Gu Wantang ordered someone to clean up the table, he sat aside and spit out a breath of turbidity, while Xiao Qingyu looked at Gu Wantang and told the emperor's previous conditions.

"Giving the treasury 100,000 taels of silver in three months is definitely not enough for our workshop alone, but we still have ginseng in the greenhouse, and this 100,000 taels of silver can be enough casually."

Xiao Qingyu looked at Gu Wantang, his heart was full of doubts, "Even if the ginseng in the greenhouse is less than a year old in three months, the roots may not have grown completely, let's find another way!" ”

"You believe me, in three months, those ginseng can definitely grow, when we start, we have to point to these ginseng for money, after three months, our workshop should be on the right track."

Although Xiao Qingyu was still a little worried, but Gu Wantang said so, he sighed, and still decided to believe Gu Wantang, "Then I'm tired today, let's go back and rest!" ”

Gu Wantang shook her head directly, "I still have to sit down for a while, you go back first!" ”

Although Xiao Qingyu didn't know what Gu Wantang was going to do, Gu Wantang said so, he stood up directly and went back to the house.

"Congratulations to the host chef for reaching the master level and gaining the recognition of the Son of Heaven in this world, so the merit value is +800 and the luck value is +800."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden quest and becoming an imperial merchant, with merit value +5000 and luck value +5000."

Gu Wantang finally put the heart back into her stomach when she heard this, her main quest has been completed, it is this side quest and the hidden quest that are dragging on, 666 has not given the reward for the main quest, and Gu Wantang's heart is seven up and down, and now this side quest and hidden quest have finally been completed, so the reward for the main quest should also come!

The previous planes will only announce the rewards of the main quest when the new plane comes, which may also be the matter of waiting until the new plane to talk about the rewards of the main quest!

"The host's guess is good, although the hidden task has been achieved, but this hidden task is still a little unstable, and when the host needs to complete this hidden task, the world knows it, so the reward for this main quest will indeed not be given to the host at this time.

If it's three months or something like that, and you don't put the hidden mission on the ground, then this hidden mission can be overturned at any time, so keep the host up! ”

When Gu Wantang heard this, she scolded a few words in her heart, and then went to sleep with her.

The next day, before noon, the royal decree came.

The emperor not only asked his father-in-law to bring the holy decree, but also brought a plaque with a jade seal, and in the place next to it, the words "imperial merchant" were written on it.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and in these three months, Gu Wantang's grocery store is like a dark horse, bringing earth-shaking changes to many merchants in the capital.

After three months, the ginseng in the greenhouse has also grown, and each ginseng plant is covered with copper coins and red ropes.
