Chapter 378: The Gourmet Effect

Lao Bai is a famous gourmet, although he is not proud of this identity, but the restaurants he has eaten are indeed more famous.

The so-called celebrity effect is good, so it is.

Who made Lao Bai's identity extraordinary, he was not only a gourmet, but also the prince who was named the first emperor, and the youngest brother of the first emperor. When the first emperor seized the throne, others were still young, so naturally they had no chance to participate in it.

When today's son succeeded to the throne, others also happened to be not in the capital. Therefore, the situation of the river of blood in the palace has nothing to do with him.

Similar to King Wu, this is also an idle prince.

The only difference is probably that Lao Bai is the king of the previous dynasty, while King Wu is the only brother of the Son of Heaven.

Lao Bai's status is noble, and he is treated as a VIP everywhere he goes. Compared with King Wu's tranquil personality of placing his affection on the landscape, Lao Bai's personality is somewhat hot.

But although it is hot, it must not offend people, this is Lao Bai's way of life. Every time he gets angry, he has to be praised for being righteous and straightforward, and he knows how good his popularity is.

Lao Bai hasn't been to Xijing for a long time.

Speaking of which, we have to start with a cold wind and cold last year. He is the king of the previous dynasty, the uncle of today's son, and he is not young anymore. Today, there are also sixty years, and Lao Bai is already in his old age.

Although the spirit is strong and the hair is black, the natural aging of the body cannot be stopped. After a cold wind, the bones of the body are not as good as before. His children and grandchildren were so worried that they let him recuperate at home.

When he was finally able to get out of the yard, it was already spring. Hearing the noise of the streets and alleys, I realized that Sidi had started another war, and the army had already captured several cities in Xiyan.

He is an idle prince, so naturally he does not need to go to the court, and he has not made much contribution to the country. The only thing Lao Bai could do was to donate money so that the people who had suffered from the war could eat.

He really didn't want to see the picture of Yi Zi eating food, but the country had not yet reached the point of no return. The god of war who left with the seal in the past has now returned with the Huwei army to defeat the Sidi army.

Lao Bai was in a good mood, and even ate an extra elbow.

In order to celebrate, he also sent someone to secretly buy the military ration called it.

The taste was surprisingly good, which made him feel a little reluctant to join the army.

Fortunately, before this thought was revealed, the Huwei army won the battle.

But the unscrupulous descendants of the family still didn't allow him to go out, saying that it was windy outside, so let him recuperate.

He knows his bones. But his family didn't let him go out, and he didn't have any temper at all. In addition to sighing every day, he can only toss his subordinates to buy him some delicious food.

Later, magazines and newspapers came out, which became Lao Bai's new hobby. With these two things, he didn't bother to run out.

The family can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they don't have to worry about their ancestors accidentally falling because they ran out to play.

But this breath was too early, and the "Xiyan Weekly" published a food column, which made a detailed report on the food in Xijing.

From a roadside restaurant selling pancakes to a three-story restaurant.

Lao Bai pointed to the cooking cake shop and said with a beaming face: "I went to eat it back then, and when I met people, I said that the cooking cakes in this place were delicious." I haven't eaten for so many years, and I don't know what happened to the stall. ”

He looked at the newspaper carefully, muttering about which new store there was, and it was at this time that Yimingju came into his eyes, completely blinding Lao Bai's mind.

He said that he would eat anything, and if he didn't give it food, he would say that his children and grandchildren were not filial. After some tossing, I finally got what I wanted.

The juniors were so angry that they couldn't stop complaining about "Xiyan Weekly", saying that it was not good to write about it, and they wanted to write about a delicacy, which was exactly what the ancestors wanted.

It stands to reason that Lao Bai is famous in the capital, and the name of Yi Mingju can't read the newspaper to enter his ears.

Just because the family was worried that Lao Bai would eat out every day, and when he came back to an unclean small shop, he would eat it badly, so he privately found those acquaintances and begged them not to introduce any delicious restaurants to Lao Bai.

As for Yimingju, although it is famous, it is not too famous.

For example, those who hold their own identities and feel that Yimingju and Fulaiju and Yipinlou cannot be compared at all, they are naturally unwilling to eat.

If it weren't for this newspaper column, not so many people would have known.

Qin Xiang is a person who is good at writing about food, and she will describe all kinds of food with witty words when she has nothing to do.

The food column is just an experimental approach, in order to mix some non-watering advertisements in some serious restaurants.

Although today's newspapers have become famous, there are still very few people who come to advertise.

It is not enough for the Weekly Newspaper to make money on the quantity it sells. If this goes on for a long time, sooner or later we will have to make ends meet.

The newspaper has not yet invited articles to be published, and the limited number of articles published has also temporarily alleviated the financial crisis of the newspaper. However, if newspapers want to develop, they must be diversified, and it is not advisable to eat old books.

Qin Xiang's food column is just an experiment, after all, not everyone is interested in current affairs and people's livelihood.

Just like the Internet literature that was popular in the Internet era, in the fast-paced and cool literary environment at the beginning, it gradually gave birth to such as house fights, palace fights, and overlords. Although the above can be classified as cool texts, under the level of description, they don't look so clear and cool.

After that, slow-paced literature began to be published, and the farming literature of the healing system was also among them. There are different divisions of farming texts, but no matter which one has a stable audience.

Qin Xiang wants to cultivate a stable group of readers, not just relying on the freshness of the newspaper, but the content.

Good content can retain readers, rather than leaving a newspaper to be a temporary novelty and completely shelved. 139

The turnaround that Qin Xiang thought about came very quickly, even faster than she imagined.

But at this moment, she just sighed at the excitement of Yimingju and was complacent about her decision.

If you're not happy, that's weird.

The so-called mortal is that there are all kinds of emotions.

Because of his good appetite, he even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Pepe saw the corners of his wife's oil-stained mouth, pretended not to see it, and even pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth for her.

Madame has a good appetite, is there anything wrong with this? Absolutely.

Is Madame fat? What kind of eyes are you! It's obviously round! It's plump!

But when going down the stairs, Pepe held Qin Xiang's hand without a trace, and carefully led people downstairs.

Probably because people are sluggish when they are full, Qin Xiang didn't notice anything wrong with this at all.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a somewhat high-pitched voice, saying something unrelentingly.

Qin Xiang is still thinking that someone is here to find fault again, which is nothing new.

It is an eternal truth that the tree is big and the wind is immutable, otherwise why would the gun shoot the first bird.

As soon as Pepe saw Qin Xiang's expression, he immediately asked someone to go down to inquire.

The maid came back after a while with an indescribable expression, "It's a diner, and it is said that the dishes on the table are delicious, especially a secret elbow." But if the shopkeeper doesn't tell him, he won't leave. ”

"Secret" means an item crafted using your own unique recipe.

Whether it's diet, or something else. The word "secret" means that there are some secrets that cannot be revealed to outsiders.

Especially for food, it's even more different with the addition of secret systems.

Otherwise, there would be no hidden menus, and even secrets that could not be known to outsiders for generations.

Just like in the previous dynasty, there was a concubine surnamed Shen who relied on her own secret soup to be favored. If it weren't for her bad luck and jealousy, the Shen family would have been more beautiful.

It can be seen that the word secret can almost be regarded as the core of food.

Just like the one that makes cooking cakes in Xijing City, the reason why it is extraordinary is also because there is a secret distribution, so that its own cooking cakes can be made differently from others. Xuan is soft and delicious, and it is not sticky to your teeth.

Now this diner keeps saying what kind of elbow recipe he wants, and if he doesn't give it, he won't leave, and he has already confirmed his identity as someone who is here to find fault.

The shopkeeper has already rolled up his sleeves and is ready to call the thugs.

This elbow is based on the owner's gift, improved by the black chef, and it is definitely a secret system.

For this elbow, Chef Black boiled his eyes red, and how many times he experimented. During that time, everyone simply ate their elbows, and even the little two who ran the hall were tired of eating. I finally came up with a secret elbow, and now I have to be beaten by someone in the autumn wind, where does the crooked reasoning come from.

Lao Bai is sprinkling, but he doesn't think it's difficult for a strong man.

In the past, as long as those restaurants knew his identity, they all gave away the secret recipe. Who doesn't know who he is Bai Wangye? He wouldn't take the recipe back and give it to someone else. He is good at eating, and he knows how to eat. He could even proudly claim that his tongue was sharper than any chef in the capital.

His biggest regret in life was not to become a cook, because he didn't have the talent. But he has one ability, and that is connoisseurship.

Those restaurants sent Fang Zi and gave him Lao Bai to eat like this, so that he could be sublimated again. The restaurant will put the food on the table to ensure that the diners are satisfied.

But today, something is wrong.

Lao Bai had already found out that neither the shopkeeper nor Xiao Er knew who he was, and it didn't seem like he was intentional when he looked at them.

Not only that, but the thugs who were slowly approaching all around made Lao Bai feel faintly bad.

When Lao Bai felt that he shouldn't care about his face and should shout out his identity, a heavenly sound sounded in his ears.

"Wait."

Ah, this wonderful voice, let him see which fairy it is.

As soon as Lao Bai raised his head, he met a beautiful face.

Ah, as he imagined, the owner of this voice was so beautiful. Lao Bai's heart fluttered, and he even had the idea of remarrying.

Only such a beautiful person is worthy of his white prince.

Kind woman, throw yourself into my old white arms.

The old white glutton's saliva was about to flow down, and he stared at the beauty without stopping.

Listen to the beauty lightly open her red lips: "You see that he is also old, and it will not end well if he plays a good game." It's better to go to the police. Either way, it's just not right to eat a bully meal. This table of wine and food will cost dozens of taels of silver, and the government will not ignore it. ”

Lao Bai's jaw almost hit the ground, which was not at all what he thought. Isn't it true that the beauty, seeing that he is heroic, turns to be attracted by his handsomeness, and throws herself into his arms?
