After deciding to open a store in the city, Liu Yifeng spent 3 days investigating the situation in the city, Shangcheng District and Wucheng District, and finally decided to open a food shop in the Shangcheng District that does not eat in dine-in.

Li Hongji opposed this decision, mainly because they had never seen a restaurant that did not dine-in. If you don't dine-in, you can only sell snacks, can snacks make money?

But Liu Yifeng took Lao Wang to make more than a dozen snacks that they had never heard of in one night, and no one objected anymore.

Just kidding, there weren't too many street foods in later generations, and more than half of them could be made in this era, but no one in this era knew that food could still do this.

In the first week, Liu Yifeng also implemented the service of buying one and getting one free, which only took 3 days, and he became famous by relying on taste. Soon there were dignitaries and nobles in Fifty Cities, who asked their subordinates to come on horseback to buy all kinds of delicacies that had just come out of the pot, and then rode back on horseback.

Liu Yifeng looked at the galloping horse and dispelled the idea of takeout, which is unattainable by the technology of this era, and the cost is too high.

And Zhang Jun appeared half a month ago. At that time, Liu Yifeng's Liu's food shop was already well-known in Yushan City, Zhang Jun had just returned from an overseas acting, and the colleagues who stayed behind said that he would pick him up, but they brought him to Liu Yifeng's store.

Liu Yifeng's main food that day was fried vegetable dough, fried fish cakes, multigrain pancakes, pot stickers and meat buns. As a result, Zhang Jun stood outside the store and guarded two pots, and was dragged away to drink after eating.

After that, he basically came every day, and soon got acquainted with Liu Yifeng and them.

Liu Yifeng's store is engaged in hunger marketing, and it is sold every hour, with only one pot of various foods, and then the second pot is sold at noon, and the third pot is sold at Shenshi, and the work is called after it is sold out.

These 3 hours are exactly the time when most people in this era eat 3 meals.

Because the taste is really good, and it is a snack that I have never seen before, or a meal, the first thing many people think of at this time is to come to Liu Yifeng to go shopping, and it is a pleasure to grab it, but if you don't grab it, you can only scold those who grab it, and then look at the blackboard that Liu Yifeng put on the outside with the menu of tomorrow's food, leaving the thought of "I must grab it tomorrow" in my brain.

These marketing methods, which were sparse and ordinary in later generations, crushed all his competitors in this era. There were already two restaurants in Fifty City District that came to contact, and they sincerely wanted to hire Liu Yifeng at a high price, but he did not agree or object, and promised to give them 20 meals a day and sent them away.

In this way, I didn't offend others, but also made a favor. After all, people are the head snake, and Liu Yifeng doesn't want to be targeted by the head snake so early.

Anyway, he only needs to tow until there is a boat to Jinshan City.

One day, Zhang Jun was late, and Liu Yifeng and the others not only closed the store, but they were all having dinner themselves. Zhang Jun, who was extremely depressed, smelled the fragrance wafting from the backyard, and this guy actually climbed the wall and came in.

That day, they were eating fried rice, and Zhang Jun, who came in over the wall, kicked Feng Shuo who rushed over, let go of Zheng Zhilong, and put a fire gun against Li Hongji's head, and then threw his money bag to Liu Yifeng, who had already picked up a stool and was ready to fight hard, and snatched a bowl of fried rice and buried it.

Seriously, at that time, Liu Yifeng thought that his sale of fire guns had been exposed, and he was stupid after receiving the money bag.

That's how they met.

Up to now, Zhang Jun often comes to eat at night, and his favorite is fried rice, because he is from Yangzhou.

Fried rice is said to have originated in Yangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and its prototype is broken golden rice, which can be understood as egg fried rice, but in fact, the fried rice that later generations are used to is only available in the Qing Dynasty.

Although there is no literature to verify it, a qualified chef understands a truth: the cooking method of stir-frying can only rely on an iron pot.

The ceramic pot and metal kettle are heated unevenly, and the heat transfer efficiency is difficult to control, so a large amount of medium, that is, oil, is necessary to achieve the effect of frying and ensure that the ingredients will not burn.

But if there is more oil, it is called frying, which is essentially different from frying, not to mention that the systematic use of fat in diet was still in the Song Dynasty, and it was also after the emergence of iron pots. Although there were many times when grease was used in previous dynasties, the common cooking method was steaming, roasting, and stewing.

Therefore, in addition to oil, the cooking medium before the Song Dynasty was generally water. And the prototype of fried rice: the eggs in the broken golden rice of the Sui Dynasty, there is a theory that it is speculated that they are actually scrambled eggs.

Scrambled eggs are still made in many places in later generations, and the scrambled eggs are really not much different from the scrambled eggs in oil, and even look better, golden and golden. The taste is tender and smooth, and unlike the fish that is famous for its tenderness, in that era when cooking methods were mainly boiled and grilled, the taste of the ingredients was easy to firewood, and the taste of scrambled eggs was rare.

As for the rice in the broken golden rice, there is a high probability that the leftover rice itself has been air-dried on the outside, and after being poured into the kettle and heated, the grains are distinct, and the appearance is crispy and chewy. Served with tender scrambled eggs, the two compound tastes make the broken golden rice famous in history.

Liu Yifeng used to believe a little bit in this statement, and he admitted that it was really difficult to complete the stir-frying with the cooking utensils before the iron pot. Second, the broken golden rice is said to have been invented by farmers, and the Sui Dynasty was rich and fruitful for a while, but Liu Yifeng still didn't think that ordinary farmers could eat fat.

At that time, the records of the use of oil in cooking were almost all dinners of royal relatives or state banquets.

When Liu Yifeng made fried rice here for the first time, the shocked appearance and gobbling up the behavior of the Han people around him made him even more convinced that the fat fried rice of later generations originated in the Qing Dynasty.

The fried rice of later generations has been rolled to the point that it is not good, and the addition of ingredients is also diverse, the fried rice they ate that day was the fried rice with sauerkraut and shredded pork, and Zhang Jun was attracted by the unique sour aroma of sauerkraut after heating. Where had he ever eaten fried rice with such a rich taste, he showed off 3 bowls of it, and after drinking a bowl of delicious fish soup, he found that the people around him were holding pots and pans, stools and kitchen knives, staring at him stupidly.

After that, Zhang Jun relied on his cheekiness and his identity as a naval officer to forcibly integrate in. But Liu Yifeng and the others really stopped being wary of him, and it was he who came forward to stop a dozen gangsters from making trouble.

In fact, at that time, Feng Shuo had already gathered the people who were handling the ingredients in the backyard, and was about to rush out when he heard the sound of fire. They thought it was Liu Yifeng's gun, but when they rushed out, they saw Zhang Jun stepping on a person, holding a firearm in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and repelled the gangsters who made trouble.

"Liu Yifeng, I don't understand, why don't you open a restaurant?"

"Swallow what is in your mouth before you speak."

Because Zhang Jun is really very talkative, he has no official frame at all, and Liu Yifeng and a few of his Han people no longer have honorific titles when they talk to him. Especially Zheng Zhilong, he originally longed for the navy and had the best relationship with Zhang Jun. If it weren't for the Navy's regulations not allowing you to visit the Qinglou, it is estimated that Zheng Zhilong would have taken Zhang Jun to experience one of the three major iron prostitutes of men.

"I mean, why don't you open a regular restaurant?"

"When I opened a small food shop, there were already gangsters who came to smash the field, and once made me think that there was no government in Dongshan Prefecture, and I still dared to open a regular restaurant?"

"They've been here again?"

"No, no one has been here since that time you made trouble."

Feng Shuo had already investigated clearly, and the time he came to make trouble, there were thugs hired by competitors who went to the black market in the port. He didn't want to smash Liu Yifeng's shop, he just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Jun's hard note.

He was a middle-level officer of the navy, and he shot on the street to stop the gangsters from making trouble, and after the Maritime Safety Bureau came, he learned about the situation without any hesitation and arrested the dozen gangsters, and he didn't ask Zhang Jun about the shooting at all.

For the people behind the gangsters, Feng Shuo advocated an eye for an eye, Li Hongji and Zheng Zhilong were opposed, and Liu Yifeng was also opposed. They don't have a long-term shop, so there's no need to cause trouble.

Zheng Zhilong has already contacted a trading house, and the two sides negotiated 20 days later to take his ship to Dongshan Prefecture, Liu Yifeng paid the deposit, and the patience passed.

"By the way, the day before yesterday, a shopkeeper surnamed Zhang came to hand over the post, is it your person?"

Zhang Jun, who was drinking brown jelly bean curd, paused obviously, and then continued to drink and asked, "Yes, it's my person." ”

"Oh."

Liu Yifeng didn't entangle, and Zhang Jun didn't explain, the two of them acted as if this incident had never happened.

As a middle-level officer in the navy, Zhang Jun was going to stay in Dongshan Prefecture for 5 years, and this year was the second year, so he simply asked his family to come here and open a trading house.

He is actually from a small family, and his ancestors have been officials in Nanzhili, although he is not a big official, he still has a family business in Nanzhili. After the opening of the sea ban in this dynasty, his family belonged to the group of people who actively embraced the policy.

When the traditional forces spurned them, his family had already sent their children to the Maritime Administration, the Navy and the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate. Now that the Maritime Safety Bureau, the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate and the Navy are all sitting down, his family is not an ordinary small family in Nanzhili, and it depends on their generation.

Although the family agreed to his proposal to open a business house in Dongshan Prefecture, there has been no excellent business to do, so Zhang Jun asked the firm to send a post to Liu Yifeng.

Now it seems that if you want to subdue this Liu Yifeng, you still need some heat.

Zhang Jun is not in a hurry, he thinks that as long as he has a good relationship with Liu Yifeng, one day when he wants to become bigger and stronger and has to cooperate with others, how can he get a piece of the pie with his friendship.
