Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Bai Yan didn't expect that Xiao Zirong was still thinking about this matter. I have to say that she was by the side when Yuan Jia made the bid just now. She has been in business since she was a child, and she is very sensitive to these things. She counted them on the spot this time money you can get.

Although she didn't show it at the time, she was still very excited. That was a lot of money. With that money, they could buy many new year's goods to go back.

And because the salt earned enough, she subconsciously ignored those pickled vegetables. After all, what Xiao Zirong said at the beginning was to sell the salt if it was not easy to sell.

She regarded pickles as the next best option, but Xiao Zirong still wanted to sell pickles after earning so much money.

As for those two prescriptions... She can't say what kind of soap it is, but the other recipe is too simple, just some shrimp skins and salt to become a new seasoning. It tastes good, but she doubts whether anyone will purchase.

Bai Yan took Mi Li and went out with Xiao Zirong, because she had this item, she didn't mind going out now, and asked as she followed behind Xiao Zirong, "Who do you want to sell them to?"

Xiao Zirong walked forward with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't know, it depends on luck."

Bai Yan: ...

Xiao Zirong really didn't have any direction. The shrimp skin seasoning must be sold to restaurants, but if he wants to make money, he must sell to big restaurants, but he doesn't know the owner of the big restaurant, so he can't come up Just tell them that there is a good seasoning recipe for sale, right?

I'm afraid he won't be kicked out, but no matter what, the seasoning is okay, at least it provides a new choice for everyone, but soap is a new thing, and the most difficult thing is that he can't just pull it when he sees it. People wash their hands to promote it?

So Xiao Zirong was really just going outside to try his luck, and just as Bai Yan thought, after the deal with Yuan Jia was finalized, he relaxed a lot.

He was walking outside, the fear that Xiao Xuexing might have found before was gone.

He has always been a big-hearted person, and he intuited that Xiao Xuexing would not simply find him and kill him if he was so persistent in looking for him. Otherwise, he could treat him as dead and announce his death directly, so that even if he was still alive, he would not be able to come back. in that position.

So even if he is discovered, it shouldn't be a big deal, and he will even be his King of Xuancheng.

If ordinary people encounter such a possibility, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, they may want to try it, that is the throne.

But Xiao Zirong always felt that he had more affection for the residence he had built up bit by bit, and he didn't want to be the king of Xuancheng at all.

Perhaps because of the status of King Xuancheng, he is not free to the naked eye.

Xiao Zirong walked while thinking, Lu Liu and Bai Yan who followed him thought he was thinking about how to sell things.

And Xiao Zirong walked and thought for some reason that he was actually hungry. Before, he was thinking about how he was exposed, and he didn't eat much. Now he wants to eat something after thinking about it.

He inquired about the largest restaurant in the city, and took Lu Liu and Bai Yan there.

After arriving there, Xiao Zirong subconsciously asked, "Is there a private room?"

Xiao Zirong didn't know what to call it these days, maybe Yajian would be more appropriate?When he was about to explain to the waiter who came over to greet them, he heard the waiter say: "Sorry, you guys are unlucky, my house is not open today."

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment, he looked at the open door, then at the people sitting inside and asked Chi Chi, "Is someone booking the venue?"

The waiter said with a smile: "That's not true, it's just that our young master will hold a competition today and requisitioned the venue."

Xiao Zirong became interested: "Competition? What is the competition?"

The waiter smiled and said: "Our young master said that if someone can cook a new dish that everyone is satisfied with, he will promote him to be one of the chefs of the restaurant."

Xiao Zirong raised his eyebrows, co-authoring is a chef competition.

"How did the game work?" he asked.

Since this era, the delicacies he has eaten... Forget it, he eats now to survive, and basically has nothing to do with delicious food.

So he is quite interested in this competition, and feels that the young owner who made this thing is also a wonderful person.

The waiter said: "If you want to participate, go directly to sign up there, or you can pay to try the food."

Xiao Zirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He thought that the young owner did this to make his restaurant more competitive, but now it seems...it's all business.

He asked about the price for the tasting, and thought for a while, based on the per capita price of this restaurant introduced by those people before, the price is considered low, so it will definitely attract people to come.

But Xiao Zirong was unmoved. Although eating here cost a lot of money, what he ate was the dishes of serious chefs. What he ate now was from these so-called contestants, and the taste was not necessarily good, but These people who came to participate in the competition had to bring their own ingredients, but they didn't need to pay for it. The restaurant inside and outside also made a lot of money.

At this time, someone behind the waiter shouted: "Don't let people in, the tasting is full."

After hearing this, the waiter looked at Xiao Zirong with some embarrassment, Xiao Zirong waved his hand and said, "We don't try the food, we compete!"

"Ah?" The waiter couldn't help but looked Xiao Zirong up and down. Xiao Zirong was young, with white and delicate skin. Even in ordinary clothes, he looked like a young man from a rich family. This...competition?

Xiao Zirong also came and said excitedly: "How to compare? Where to compare, there is always a place for this?"

The waiter confirmed again and again: "You have to bring your own ingredients. Do you really know how to cook? Do you really want to participate in the competition? If you damage something in the kitchen, you will have to pay for it."

Xiao Zirong pointed behind him and said, "Don't worry, I have help."

The waiter was very worried and took him to get a bamboo card exclusive to the contestants. After Xiao Zirong got it, he found that there were several dots on it. The waiter was afraid that he would not understand, so he said: "The number of dots is the number one. .”

Xiao Zirong couldn't help laughing, this is easier than writing, and it also prevents people who can't read from wondering what their rank is.

There are seven dots on Xiao Zirong's bamboo card, which means he ranks seventh.

He just signed up, that is to say, there are seven people in total.

Xiao Zirong: ...

The number of contestants is too pitiful, right?

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is not looking for a job, but just wants to take the opportunity to get to know the other party's young boss.

Both Bai Yan and Lu Liu were a little uneasy, they were a little worried, Mr. Xiao Lang can't even make a fire, how can he participate in the competition?

Lu Liu was anxious and didn't say much, so Bai Yan leaned over and asked, "Mr. Lang, you... how are you going to compete?"

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "You two help me."

He can't do it, but Lu Liu and Bai Yan can do everything, at least after Bai Yan gets married, they can really grasp everything inside and out, basically they can do everything.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as their city owner doesn't do it himself, otherwise she would not only worry about whether the city owner will be injured, but also worry about losing money if they burn their kitchen down.

Because it was a temporary idea, Xiao Zirong turned around and asked Lu Liu to get the ingredients. The expressions on the faces of the two of them were a little weird, and Bai Yan asked strangely: "City lord, are you going to make salt baked food?" chicken?"

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "Yes."

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and reckoned that even if this dish was very popular, the young master would definitely not be willing to let her city lord be the chef - most people can't afford this dish.

Not long after, Lu Liu brought a chicken and a bag of coarse salt. This coarse salt was specially brought by Xiao Zirong, in order to sell coarse salt if the fine salt was not easy to sell. Kosher salt may be less regulated.

After Xiao Zirong prepared the ingredients, he told the waiter in charge, and he was taken directly to the back kitchen.

This restaurant is indeed the largest in Southern Yanzhou, but there are only two kitchens, and one of them just came out of the kitchen and was walking out in disgrace.

Xiao Zirong asked a little strangely: "What's the matter?"

Before the waiter could say anything, someone came over and asked, "Where did this young man come from? Why did he bring him here? Did he come to see the elders?"

The waiter quickly said: "Master Shao, this person is here to participate in the competition."

Xiao Zirong's eyes shifted to the young master, and found that the other party was fat and white, his eyes narrowed when he laughed, and he seemed to have a good temper.

The good-tempered Young Master frowned, sized Xiao Zirong up and asked, "You know how to cook? Don't just make trouble just for fun, or be careful and I'll go to your house to file a complaint."

Xiao Zirong smiled immediately, pointed behind her and said, "I brought a helper."

The Shaodong family glanced at Bai Yan and Lu Liu behind him, then at Xiao Zirong, and reluctantly said, "Okay, you go and try it, if it doesn't taste good, I'll kick you out."

Xiao Zirong paused for a moment and deeply felt that there was something wrong with his vision. How could this young master have a good temper?

But he didn't care, the salt-baked chicken would definitely kill at this time.

There is a taste in salt. People these days are reluctant to eat more salt, so they eat less salt.

The practice of salt-baked chicken is very simple, only the last step is more time-consuming.

According to the regulations, when the people participating in the competition are cooking inside, no one can enter unless the people inside agree.

So Xiao Zirong took the opportunity to visit the kitchen, and then decided not to come here to eat next time - the hygiene level of this kitchen is really worrying, raw food and cooked food are put together, the chopping boards are not separated, there are old dirt in many places, He even faintly saw a mouse running over!

This is not as good as their resident kitchen!

Because of Xiao Zirong's obsession with cleanliness, the resident kitchen used lime mortar to remove insects, and then it was cleaned every day according to the regulations. It was not as clean as later generations, but at least it was much better than here.

After the salt-baked chicken was ready, Xiao Zirong went out with the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves—leaves are not easy to use in the city, mainly because such big leaves are hard to find at all, and lotus leaves The thing itself can be used as medicine, so it is not difficult to find a piece.

After Xiao Zirong came out, the Shaodong's family came over. Although the lotus leaf on the outermost layer of the salt-baked chicken hadn't been peeled off, there was already a faint fragrance coming out.

Young Master's nose twitched and looked at Xiao Zirong with some surprise: "You really know how to cook."

Xiao Zirong said in his heart that I just knew the recipe, and Bai Yan and Lu Liu did the rest of the work.

There is no way, these two people are afraid that something unexpected will happen to him and they will not be able to explain to the sisters.

Xiao Zirong saw that the young master was staring at the salt-baked chicken without even moving his eyes, Xiao Zirong held the plate and shook his eyes back and forth, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the other side's eyes.

The Shaodong family came back to their senses and said quickly: "Come here, let me taste it, this taste is too overbearing."

Xiao Zirong chuckled lightly, put the plate there and asked his waiter to open the lotus leaf.

Just now when the lotus leaf was wrapped, the smell of the salt-baked chicken was already revealed, which made Shaodong's family greedy, and when they were all opened, the heat was steaming, and Shaodong's saliva was about to flow out.

Xiao Zirong also smelled the smell, and began to think about whether to go back and dig a pond to grow some lotus flowers. Among other things, the taste of salt-baked chicken made from lotus leaves is much better than that of leaves.

The Shaodong family waited for the attendant to tear off the chicken breast and tasted it, and then his eyes narrowed. The chicken was marinated just right, with a hint of lotus leaf fragrance. The most important thing was that the chicken skin was very chewy, and it tasted a bit crispy Even the chicken breast, which is the easiest to dry, is not tender.

Shaodong's family swallowed, pulled Xiao Zirong and said, "Brother, your dish is fine. I'm in charge. You don't have to wait for outsiders to taste it. I'll leave you a chef position here."

Xiao Zirong wiped his hands and smiled, "I'm not a chef."

Young Master's eyes widened: "If you don't become a chef, what will I eat?"

Xiao Zirong:? ? ?You co-authored this just to eat for yourself?

He coughed lightly and said, "I can sell you the prescription."

The Shaodong family was not very happy after hearing this, and instead asked, "Is this recipe yours?"
