Chapter 25: Seven Up and Eight Down

The snow was falling without the slightest sign of stopping.

Sheng Jingming dealt with a day's official business, lying on the soft couch with a sore back, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, and suddenly ordered Nanyuan to go to the dining room to get something.

This kind of cold weather is really suitable for meeting three or two friends to eat hot pot!

He gestured with his hand to the size of the pot he wanted, and as he swallowed his saliva, he carefully described what he wanted.

"Use an old hen to make a soup, and then add some ginger slices and green onions, and when it is done, bring out the pot and put it on a small brazier."

Sheng Jingming wanted to tell Nan Yuan to pack up some beef, but after thinking about it, he found that ancient people were not very good at eating beef, so he got up and took people to the dining room.

The chefs stood on one side with a brush, trembling to receive Sheng Jingming's arrival.

Nan Yuan led Sheng Jingming to the freshly killed cow and said, "Palm print, this is the whole cow that has just been killed, can you see which part you need?" ”

Sheng Jingming took a look, and secretly congratulated himself that he had deliberately run this trip, otherwise all the good things such as hairy tripe and beef lungs would have been thrown away...

He beckoned a few men to come over, pointed fingers at the cow, and carefully instructed how to clean and slice it.

The chefs' eyes gradually turned from confusion to doubt, and they kept staring at Sheng Jingming with a look of what are you talking about.

Sheng Jingming coughed twice and said, "Do what I tell you, it is guaranteed to be a new delicacy!" ”

Be... Is it?

The chefs were skeptical, but they didn't dare to refute Sheng Jingming's words, lifted the beef and put it on the cutting board, stared at each other with big eyes, and no one dared to be the first to start.

Sheng Jingming returned to the dormitory and set up a table in the pavilion with a burning brazier on it.

"Beef bones can be boiled into soup, sprinkled with chives on top, and people in the dormitory can drink some of them."

He stopped Nan Yuan again and said, "By the way, please invite the eldest princess to come over, and say that she will come over to eat something good." ”

Nan Yuan blinked, how could the relationship between these two become so close when he didn't know?

No one dared to be indifferent to Sheng Jingming's affairs, so he quickly sent the pot and other things over, and a chef led a group of little eunuchs to come up.

Those little eyes couldn't stop glancing at Sheng Jingming, their eyes full of excitement.

Sheng Jingming had already noticed the chef's small eyes, and said, "Let's talk about it directly, what are you doing in secret?" ”

The chef rubbed his hands nervously and muttered, "Do what the palm print says, and make these things that are thrown away on weekdays very fresh, and it looks very appetizing." ”

The small eyes looked at Sheng Jingming, and asked in a low voice: "The slave has a younger brother, he heard that the imperial court is supporting the mirror trade, so he specially rushed over from the next town, but unfortunately he didn't catch up with the quota of the contract." ”

"Today, I saw the novel way of eating palm prints, and I felt that it could also be implemented among the people, so... I would like to ask the palm print, can the practice of this pot be spread? ”

In ancient times, there were clear hierarchies, and the things of the palace nobles could not be passed on easily, but the chef heard that Sheng Jingming was vigorously supporting the development of merchants, so he dared to come over and ask.

If the practice is spread out privately and investigated, it is a capital crime!

Sheng Jingming's eyes were full of appreciation, he liked this kind of person with ideas very much, so he said: "Be bold and let it go, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." ”

The matter of earning money cannot be delayed, and it is not a big deal anyway.

"You can try it first, and if the deal is doing well, I'll give you another advice."

Sheng Jingming's mind came up with various modern franchise business models, which may also have the possibility of development in ancient times.

The chef's eyes lit up, and he knelt down without saying a word, slamming his head, not to mention how sincere.

"Alright, let's go down."

Sheng Jingming was not interested in kowtowing, his eyes were staring at the hot pot boiling in front of him, and he pointed to Nanyuan Sanqi and the others: "I asked the small kitchen to prepare a table for you, you can go and eat, you don't have to wait here." ”

Nan Yuan and Sanqi glanced at each other, and they both saw the emotion of reluctance to leave in each other's eyes, so they excused themselves very tacitly.

"The palm print is inseparable from the people who are waiting, so let the minions stay!"

Sheng Jingming closed his eyes fiercely, he likes to do it himself when he eats hot pot, and there is a person standing next to him who helps you with things at all times, what is the difference between this and a certain fish?

"Am I being too tolerant of you lately?" Sheng Jingming put his chopsticks on the table, "Don't listen to this little order?" ”

"If you don't want to go down, it's okay, go to the Punishment Division to get fifty boards, and then come to serve!"

“…”

The familiar Sheng Jingming is back, so much so that Nan Yuan and Sanqi don't dare to say anything more.

Not long after the servants left, Qian Zhaozhi walked in with Yun Shu, she looked at the empty palace, and couldn't help asking: "I didn't meet a palace maid when I came in, but it's cold, and they are lazy?" ”

Sheng Jingming laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't need to test anything here, I told them to go to the backyard to eat pots, and you can also ask your people to join in the fun." ”

Qian Zhaozhi's careful thinking was suddenly exposed, and she didn't care, and waved her hand to Yun Shu to go down and play.

She thought it would take some words to persuade Yun Shu to leave, but she didn't expect Yun Shu to leave without stopping as soon as she saw her gesture and bowed...

Yun Shu didn't know Qian Zhaozhi's mental journey at all, in her heart Sheng Jingming was an omnipotent existence, she thought that Sheng Jingming dared to blatantly invite his master over, and there must be no danger.

What's more, Sheng Jingming wants to kill someone, so why do you need to go to great lengths to find a reason and pick a time.

"I heard that the palm print was going to show me the world, so I specially took the best plum wine from the storeroom."

It was the first time for Qian Zhaozhi to see such a novel way of eating, and asked curiously: "The palm print is really well-informed, and it always makes my eyes shine." ”

Sheng Jingming didn't speak, and first made a simple dipping saucer.

Due to the lack of development of condiments in ancient times, only chili peppers, onions and garlic can be used at present, and the original recipe of the old slippers is not enough.

Qian Zhaozhi did the same, and also made an exact same dipping sauce.

Sheng Jingming filled her a bowl of soup and said, "Drink some soup first, and then add vegetables to cook later." ”

How dare Qian Zhaozhi say anything, of course, whatever Sheng Jingming says, she will do.

The soup cooked by the old hen is still not bad, but she has been able to drink such a beautiful soup in the past, so she will not feel that there is anything to marvel at.

Sheng Jingming didn't care about Qian Zhaozhi's evaluation, he saw that the soup was almost drunk, so he put down various things such as beef tripe.

He counted with words in his mouth.

Eight

Seven

One!

Sheng Jingming hurriedly fished it up, took the lead in putting the cooked things on the small bowl of Qian Zhaozhi, and said, "Try it to see how it tastes." ”

It stands to reason that seven up and eight down can already be eaten.

It's just that what if you can't eat it?

Let's let Qian Zhaozhi test the water first!
