The sun is sinking in the west.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Yangzhou City and stopped at the post station not far after entering the city gate.

Huang Yi, who had been in the carriage for a day, walked out of the carriage and just wanted to stretch, but was fascinated by the prosperous scene in front of him.

Yangzhou City is listed as one of the most important thousand-year-old ancient capitals by the Chinese Kingdom. Many emperors of the past dynasties have made this the capital, which is naturally extraordinary.

Even now, more than a thousand years ago, Huang Yi stood on the carriage and saw this prosperous scene, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart!

Standing in the middle of the road, Huang Yi glanced back at his back, there was only a tall city wall, the city gate was several zhang high, and the width was enough for three carriages to enter and exit at the same time.

The streets are also quite large. The main thing is that a stone plaque lies horizontally on the two gates. It was four big characters written in regular script, and it happened that Huang Yi knew it. Those four words are "unparalleled in the world".

Huang Yi turned his head and thought to himself. It is worthy of Yangzhou City, which has been loved by successive emperors, and it is really domineering.

Turning around, Huang Yi walked forward.

He could have hired another carriage at the post house to take him to his destination. However, seeing such a scene, Huang Yi decided to experience the city of Yangzhou thousands of years ago.

The place where Huang Yi was at this time was the Chengbei Market of Yangzhou City.

There are countless roadside vendors selling meat, vegetables and medicines. There are also money banks, tailor shops, weapons shops and restaurants, and even pet shops.

Military uniforms are not suitable for wearing in this era, and Huang Yi's clothes at this time were borrowed from Wang Xingman's subordinates. And Wang Zhutou also generously lent a tael of silver to Huang Yi.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Huang Yi touched the lonely string of copper coins in his pocket. I sighed in my heart, and I had to sigh that in the era when the Sui Dynasty was full of gates and wars, Yangzhou was still peaceful in the city.

I walked around to see that it was not early and I was a little hungry. I happened to see an inn. After all, this is still some distance from where Huang Yi is going. After a day's carriage ride today, I just exercised for a while, so I was naturally hungry. I thought I'd eat something first.

After all, an inn is no better than a restaurant. Huang Yi stepped into the guest inn and found that it was a little deserted, and only a few people were dining. I guess these people also stayed here, so they will eat here. Otherwise, you will either go to a restaurant or a restaurant, how can you eat at an inn?

Huang Yi sat at the table and waited for a while, but found that no one paid attention to him. Xiao Er didn't respond after calling two sentences, but his stomach responded with a rumbling stomach. Huang Yi couldn't, looked at what seemed to be the kitchen behind the door curtain, so he got up and walked in.

Behind the curtain is the kitchen room, but there is no one inside. Huang Yi's plan to order directly from the chef was frustrated. Wanting to retreat, his stomach made a protest again.

I don't know why, I'm twice as hungry as this before, and my stomach has never screamed. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Huang Yi's eyes just happened to be on the kitchen stove and there was a plate of fried rice.

Huang Yi quickly moved forward, thinking about a bowl of fried rice. Eat first, and then pay when the time comes. Huang Yi was not polite, and casually found a pair of chopsticks and pulled them out. While chewing, he muttered, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." This is the authentic Yangzhou fried rice. ”

"Stinky boy, what are you. What the hell are you doing here?" a loud shout came from behind him.

Huang Yi was startled, and he was afraid. I didn't expect someone to walk behind me and didn't pay attention. If this was when he was on a mission, in this state, I was afraid that ten lives would not be enough for him to die.

Huang Yi hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and turned around to explain: "I... I..."The fried rice in his mouth made him slurred.

"What's in your mouth?" the man was slightly fat, middle-aged and in his forties. stretched his neck, and finally saw the dishes and chopsticks hidden behind Huang Yi: "You, you steal food?

"Yes, I'm sorry. Huang Yi swallowed the rice in his mouth with difficulty and explained: "I'm really hungry. ”

"Hmph, anyway. If you don't accompany me for twenty taels today, don't think about giving up. The self-proclaimed boss snorted.

"Twenty taels?" Hearing Lao Ji's words, Huang Yi almost jumped up: "It's just a bowl of fried rice, how can it be so expensive." Besides, I don't have so much silver? ”

In order to adapt to this era, Huang Yi deliberately converted the value of silver in contemporary times.

Twenty taels, in the mid-to-late twenty-first century, is equivalent to eighty thousand yuan. Where can fried rice be sold for such an expensive price?

Even today. The wages at the feet of the Son of Heaven are slightly higher, and ordinary workers don't want to earn it back if they don't have a year and a half.

"That's right. Lao Ji looked at Huang Yi with eyes like a beggar and said, "If you want to be rich, you don't have to steal food." ”

"I ......" Huang Yi didn't know how to explain.

"Well, it's been a long time since the old man has tasted someone else's craft. Stir-fry fried rice to quench my anger. Lao Ji waved his hand and said generously.

"But, I don't know how to fry rice. "Huang Yi is not not. It's just that he just ate the fried rice of the chef Lao Ji, how dare he be ugly.

"What's so hard about this, I won't teach you. A handful of greens, a little minced meat. Add three more purple peppers to taste. The stir-fry time should not be too long, so the flavor will be lost. It should not be too short, otherwise the rice will not be cooked. If the material is not cooked and the salt is uneven. Hum...... The old man's mouth is very tricky. Where are you going to do it? Don't get ready yet. ”

That old man is a lot of nonsense, even if he teaches.

Huang Yi opened his mouth wide, stunned. That's a long list of ...... In the end, Huang Yi didn't remember a word.

"Do it your way, though, compared to this bowl. Huang Yi thought to himself, and secretly glanced at the bowl of Yangzhou fried rice that he hadn't finished eating.

Huang Yi put in a little oil, put some minced meat after boiling, and stir-fried for a while. After the meat is cooked, tear off a handful of greens. The greens shrank in the boiling oil.

After salvaging the greens, Huang Yi poured the oil into a little pot. During the period, I was not idle, and began to beat eggs. When the eggs are fully integrated with the moisture in the air, the oil is also boiled.

Pour the eggs, spoon lightly and stir twice before pouring the minced meat and greens back into the pan. Add a little more oil, then add salt, add pepper, add rice, add some soy sauce to adjust the color, and stir-fry.

"Remove from the pot. Huang Yi shouted. Lift the pot directly with your left hand. Pour the rice inside onto the plate prepared earlier.

Smelling the fragrance, Huang Yi knew. Although I have fried rice many times in the barracks before, it is definitely not as good as this time, and it is fragrant. I am confident and want to come, even if it is not as delicious as that bowl. I'm afraid it won't be too bad.

"Okay?" Lao Ji heard Huang Yi shout and walked over and said, "Let me, the first chef in Yangzhou, try it." ”

"It should be okay, right?" Huang Yi thought to himself.

It's just that before I finished thinking about it, I saw Lao Ji spit it out.

"Poof! this ...... Eggshells? And this ...... Is this lard rice? There is more oil than rice. You're an insult to your cooking skills," Lao Ji angrily said.

"Fried rice! It's not cooking instant noodles, old man, you're too demanding. Besides, I think it'......s okay! I put more oil, more pepper, and more soy sauce that looks a little dark, but everything else is fine. Huang Yi muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" of course Lao Ji didn't hear what he was muttering. Otherwise, don't be mad at him.

"It's nothing, or I'll re-fry it. Uncle Ji, don't be angry. "What else can I do?

"Go, go, go! Dirty my pot, it gets worse and worse. You blunt talent, I want to teach you some cooking skills, but it seems that it won't work. Seeing that you are so poor, the old man can't help you anymore. The old man still has something to do, you can go! I don't have time to pay attention to you. Lao Ji shook his head and said regretfully.

"Thank you, Master Ji. Huang Yi gave up his hand and quickly ran out of the kitchen.

Lao Ji's teaching method. Can anyone really learn it?
