It stands to reason that good cooks are hard to find.Any well-known restaurant signed a long-term contract with the master, and the fear was that the dishes would change and lose customers if the master left.If the restaurant itself is not well-known, how can it be said that the chef's craftsmanship is good?Therefore, it is not easy to find a chef with outstanding skills.

But the situation is different now.The Tang Dynasty fell suddenly, and many people were displaced.The north of the Yangtze River was occupied by Hu people, and many Han people ran to the south.At the earliest time, Chu□□Boyan raised troops in Chudi, and many people went to Chudi. Later, when Boyan established his capital in Jinguancheng, a large number of people came to Chengdu.In Chengdu, the land of abundance, there are many kinds of food, and the local area has hardly been war-torn. The original cooks are enough, and the new cooks have no place to work. Fu Donglou can only recruit a few excellent craftsmen Red and white case.

After meeting the person, shopkeeper Zhang introduced Fu Donglou to know that these three red cases and three white cases were all done in the big restaurant in Luoyang, Chang'an.Shopkeeper Zhang brought the specialty dishes of the six masters to Fu Donglou for a taste, yo, this taste, the imperial meal is just like that, it is much better than those restaurants and so on in his previous life.

"Why did you ask me to come here? It turns out there are delicious food, which is interesting enough." Zhai Xi smelled the aroma, bouncing up to the second floor of the restaurant with his chicken coop head on his head.

"I said you can't clean up your head. You just go to court like this and the emperor doesn't talk about you? The group of officials didn't find fault with you?"

If people should pay attention to fate, Fu Donglou felt that he had a temper with Zhai Xi, and he was happy to see Zhai Xi.It's just that you are happy if you are happy, and you can't miss a word if you hurt others.

"Man, persistence is the most important thing." Zhai Xi came up and directly pinched a piece of crystal meat with his hands and put it in his mouth.Fu Donglou glanced at him in distaste, and the garden beside him immediately took over the water basin sent by the staff and waited for Di Xi to clean his hands.

"It tastes good, and it's an outstanding craftsmanship in Jinguan City." Zhai Xi washed his hands, "At first, it wasn't that the officials said nothing about me, but no matter what they say, I will never repent. After a long time, they I'm tired of talking about it, so naturally I won't talk about it. Anyway, they have nothing to do with me. As for the emperor, I grew up with the emperor, and I have played with the emperor since I was a child, and the emperor has long since ignored me."

"You and the emperor are very close friends, isn't Bo Junhe less than four years younger than you, then you and him are also very good friends, why didn't he choose you as Rui Wang Qing?" Why did he choose me, what an annoyance!

Bo Jun and one of the most beautiful men in Dachu, but when Fu Donglou, who was unable to move when he saw a handsome guy, met him, he wished he hadn't seen him.

"That's really not true." Zhai Xi shook his index finger, took the chopsticks from Yueqiao, and picked up some fried mountain delicacies with chopsticks, "I grew up with the emperor because the emperor grew up in front of my master. The older one didn’t return to the palace until the late emperor passed away. The empress dowager was the emperor’s adoptive mother, so she was really a nominal adoptive mother. She basically didn’t take care of the emperor. When I first met the prince, he must have been [-] or [-]. That’s not bad. What a small hair."

Fu Donglou stretched out two fingers to pinch Zhai Xi's chin, looked left and right with his head in his hand, and pulled Zhai Xi's bangs, "Actually, you look good, if you dress up well, you'll be handsome One little brother, of course you can’t compare with me. You said why didn’t Bo Junhe take a fancy to you? Did he think you were old.”

"Bah, the more you learn, the worse you become." Zhai Xi slapped Fu Donglou's paw away, and gave him a hard look, "Are you not sick? I'll always recruit someone for your future husband."

"It's better for him to keep a bunch of outhouses outside. If he needs money, I'll pay him. My father who saves me is upset when I look at him every day and wants to serve him."

Shopkeeper Zhang and Fenghuaxueyue really don't want to stay in this room anymore, they can't listen to it anymore!

Di Xi waved at Fu Donglou, Fu Donglou suspiciously followed him, and then he heard Di Xi whisper into his ear, "You two had a fight." An affirmative sentence.

Fu Donglou rubbed his ears, "Is there a time when we are alone in peace, harmony and beauty?"

Shopkeeper Zhang saw that Di Xi's eyes were shining brightly and he was gearing up to fight, and he seemed to be applauding and cheering, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Master, the recipe you mentioned..."

"Oh, by the way, bring a pen and paper, I'll write it to you right now, take it and ask them to make it, let me taste it, and see if the taste is right."

Speaking of Fu Donglou, he followed shopkeeper Zhang to the side desk, and Zhai Xi said in amazement: "This is weird, you are also my half-disciple, why didn't I know that you can cook. Not only can you cook, Who did you learn how to modify the spinning machine?"

"How many hours a day can you teach me? I've read a lot of books, why should I tell you." Fu Xueba was stunned.He wouldn't say that he can only write recipes silently but can't cook. Once upon a time, Fu Xueba also went to the kitchen, but the painful facts told him that high IQ and good cooking are two worlds. He is a kitchen killer life.

"Last time, I wanted to say that your handwriting is really good. The words 'Dongli' and 'Nanshanyuan' are elegant and steady, moist but not fat, which is quite a bit of skill, which is a great improvement compared to before." .Although I was not able to go to the spring banquet, I saw the handwriting you wrote later in the palace. The cursive script seems to be in the style of Zhang Xu from the previous dynasty. It can be seen that you have practiced it with great experience." Zhai Xi clicked Order Fu Donglou's recipe written in Mi Fu's style, "Take time to write me some couplets or something, and I will take this when I meet big and small festivals, weddings and funerals. I said it was written by Rui Wangqing." Yes, that's more face-saving and elegant than giving gold and silver."

"If you want to tell my family, I'll write you as much as you want, so you don't have to talk about giving it away." Fu Donglou raised his chin, selling calligraphy, it's really insulting, it's a shame, it's a shame.

"Quickly put away that tail of yours, it's up to the sky, and you hang it in my house, you think you are Wang Xizhi."

"Tch, my cursive script is naturally not as good as that of Shusheng, but I know a lot more style."

As he spoke, Fu Donglou used cursive script and official script to change the recipe silently, and at the end he copied a few strokes of "Lanting Collection Preface".

"Let me tell you, Junior Brother, since when did you start the fake calligraphy and painting business? You practiced "Lanting" on purpose, right?" Zhai Xi said, and couldn't help but look at Fu Donglou a few more times.What the master said should be right, it must have been taken away, and the younger brother didn't have such a good hand before, "Why don't you close down the antique shop, and the formulas sold in it are all fakes you copied."

Grandpa Fu is a person who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Fu Donglou was taught by his grandfather since he was a child. He can write traditional characters with a brush before he can write simplified characters with a pencil.Grandpa Fu originally let Fu Donglou cultivate his temperament. There was no rule on which font he had to learn, so Fu Donglou practiced a lot of fonts, and finally chose Mi Fu's characters. After writing for more than ten years, it was naturally the best. Handy.As for "The Preface to the Collection of Lanting Pavilion", I practiced it because I liked the article itself, and Fu Donglou might not be able to write it so vividly if it was another "Tie after the Rain".If so, Fu Donglou's unremitting practice for more than ten years is the foundation of his ability to write well.

"A dog can't spit out ivory, so seriously compliment me that you can lose a piece of meat? I don't do that kind of gentle and sweeping things, sir." Fu Donglou realized that he was too sharp, and he was afraid that Zhai Xi would look at him. To show his own lies, he only continued to write the recipe silently with a casual sentence.Fu Donglou couldn't help but feel weird seeing the two people's normal expressions, but he didn't say anything.

"can."

Fu Donglou: "?"

Zhai Xi: "Seriously boasting that you can indeed lose a piece of meat, it's hard to bear the loss of a piece in your heart."

Fu Donglou: "..."

"Boss..." shopkeeper Zhang interjected awkwardly, "Your handwriting is good, it's a pity to use it to write recipes..."

Fu Donglou was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw shopkeeper Zhang's eyes scanning back and forth between the running script and cursive script, he understood, "Wait, I'll write another easy-to-recognize copy for you." These two words fell into his eyes It's not much better than the ghost painting talisman...

Fenghuaxueyue and the others covered their mouths and snickered, while Zhai Xi laughed unceremoniously.

After writing for a while, Fu Donglou's wrists were sore.The recipe was handed over to shopkeeper Zhang, and Fu Donglou didn't want the master chefs to make a portion of each item immediately. He only ordered fried salty assorted dishes, shrimp celery heart, mustard pie, a few easy-to-cook cold dishes, and a walnut sweet cheese.

"This is food. It looks like the recipe is easy to write. It will take a lot of effort to make it. I am not in a hurry to open this restaurant. After opening, I will serve [-] tables in one day, ten tables at noon and evening, and the daily menu They come in sets, don’t ask for a la carte, you can eat whatever you want. Whoever wants to eat will order in advance, and if they don’t come, they will have to pay accordingly.”

Shopkeeper Zhang got the order and went on, Zhai Xi smiled and said: "I have never seen you do business like this. It is said that opening a restaurant is a job of serving people, but you are better than the patrons who spend money."

"I can't say that this dish is an imperial meal. It's definitely a taste that you can't eat outside." These recipes were collected by helping my mother from all over the world, and you can't find them in ordinary restaurants. "Besides, the ingredients used in my place They are all top quality, all produced in Nanshanyuan, and I can’t afford to sell too much. Rather than selling too much and lowering the quality and smashing the brand, it’s better to be less and better, but to catch these dignitaries I really want to eat. I asked them to make an order because a lot of things have to be prepared in advance. If they don’t come to eat, all my ingredients will be ruined, and of course they have to pay for it.”

"It's really yours." Zhai Xi smiled, "But it's true that the recipe you wrote has a unique taste. I'm still thinking about the eight pieces I ate at your house last time. I told you a long time ago Restaurants have a better future than your black-hearted grain store.”

"My flour will be sold for a few days until all orders are filled, and then it will be taken off the shelves. The same goes for rapeseed. If there are still people who want to buy it, then wait until next year." Why didn't Fu Donglou know that this kind of selling method would not last for a long time? He didn't even think about it Selling flour all the way to the black.

"Then what are you selling up front? I don't think the little money you sell for cheap grain on the west side of your grain store will catch your eye. Let's see how many times you have made a move, which one is not a big deal." Zhai Xi was still thinking about eight pieces of jujube stuffing. The taste, I thought, this junior was taken away by a cook, right?

"Flour and rapeseed must be replaced by seasonal fruits and vegetables. Naturally, they are sold at a high price in fine packaging. I hired three white case masters to make more snacks and sell them in front. There are not many, each of which is only a few catties. First serve."

"It's easy to work with your subordinates. Look at the chefs in those big restaurants who are so busy that they don't touch the ground. Your work is really easy and you pay a lot of money." Zhai Xi joked, "If you want If I don’t catch up tomorrow, I’ll just resign, and I’ll be a long-term worker with you.”

"It's just you." Fu Donglou clicked his tongue twice, which was disgusting, "What do you do, you want to make money with me."

Zhai Xi really thought about it seriously: "It's okay to be a guard for you. As for the team of guards sent to you by the prince, none of them can beat me. If I want to harm you, those boys can't stop me." stay mine."

"Bragging, you are really so powerful that you can be chased by me?"

"I'm too lazy to bully children."

"You are the child." I am 38 years old in my two lifetimes!Uh...how come such a number.

"It's too lazy to argue with you, it's boring." Zhai Xi pretended to be noble, but suddenly caught the topic and said, "You can do it like this, why don't you do something different and send it to the palace. Hanging those dignitaries is not a skill, you can seduce them The prince's tongue is the real kung fu. When the time comes, the prince will miss your food, so can he treat you well?"

"Damn! I don't like my eyes every day, and I still want me to serve him to eat and drink? Dreaming! I just do it to feed the dog and not feed him!"

When Bo Junhe pushed the door into the room and heard these words, the peaceful and gentle good mood that he had spent a night of mental training suddenly collapsed.

"What did you say?!"

Zhai Xi, Fenghua Xueyue: "...!!!"
