"Meeting each other means we are destined to meet each other. Why don't we have a drink together, my friends?"
As the old man said this, he turned around and asked the waiter to bring him a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
This old man is quite interesting.
Wang Zi'an was not polite, smiled and thanked him, and symbolically raised his chopsticks to eat some.
Now he really looks down on the food and drinks in restaurants outside, the taste - just make do with the occasion, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to sit here without ordering a dish or drinking a glass of wine.
This is a restaurant, not a theater.
"Why, these dishes are not to your liking?"
The slightly fat old man, who was called Xuanzhen, stopped his chopsticks slightly in surprise. As the boss behind this restaurant, he has always been satisfied with the level of cooking in this restaurant. This was the first imperial chef in the capital that he spent a lot of money to hire.
The craftsmanship is really impressive, even His Majesty was willing to come over for a drink occasionally.
This means that he is unwilling to expand the scale, otherwise it would have become the leading restaurant in the capital.
However, today I was disliked!
The fat old man named Xuanzhen looked at Wang Zi'an with strange eyes. If he hadn't known that this was an accidental encounter, he would have almost suspected that he was just here to cause trouble.
"It's okay-"
Although Wang Zi'an wanted to complain, he was a bit embarrassed after all, so he smiled indifferently.
Not bad? !
The old man named Xuanzhen was almost angry. Do you think the quality of the food in his restaurant is just okay?
In the palace compound, even the emperor's cooks may not be of this level!
Wang Zi'an smiled at the two of them, then put down his chopsticks and poured himself a bowl of boiled water.
The dishes in this restaurant are really hard to describe.
You can't eat it, just take a look. Anyway, I'm not here to eat or drink.
At this time, the waiter happened to bring over the food and wine that Wang Zi'an had summoned. Wang Zi'an glanced at it and immediately lost interest in using chopsticks.
Ever since I discovered the skills of the God of Cooking, I no longer have any interest in restaurants outside. It seems that the matter of opening a restaurant in partnership with Li Xiaogong must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Nothing else, just so I can eat delicious food outside when I go out to play.
"Come on, you two, you're welcome..."
Wang Zi'an said, turning back to the two old men and making a gesture of invitation. He poured himself a glass of boiled water.
This is the only place in this restaurant where I can feel comfortable eating.
The two old men couldn't help but look at each other, with a strange look in their eyes. Especially the old man who looked like an old woman couldn't help but have a look of interest in his eyes.
Come on, the people who said it was okay just now probably meant it in a nice way, but even a blind person could see the disgust in his eyes.
"My little friend seems to be a little disdainful of wine and food. Maybe he knows where there is better food. I wonder if you can tell me - I am old and don't like me. I just like to sit in the red and green. There are delicacies in the world..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Awesome, old man!
At this age, he is still evil-minded.
He couldn't help but look up and down at the old man opposite him. Well - he wasn't bragging, he really showed signs of indulging in alcohol and debauchery!
Now, although his body looks strong and strong, his eyes are cloudy and his skin and flesh are loose. It is obvious that he is already strong on the outside and dry on the inside, and his body is gradually being hollowed out by wine and sex.
Tsk, if you don’t know how to take care of your body, then you will really have to die under the peonies and become a ghost.
"Old man, you are so elegant and in good health - amazing!"
Wang Zi'an smiled and gave the old man a thumbs up. It was really impressive that he could still have such capital at this age.
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Even though I'm getting older, I still have no problem with having a daughter at night. To be honest, I just gave birth to a little girl some time ago -"
Wang Zi’an:……
Look at what you are proud of!
Okay, it seems really worth being proud of.
"Old man, you are really getting stronger with age, and you have the spirit of a dragon and a horse——"
When I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, this was the first time I met such a fun-loving old man. Not only was he chatty, but he also talked more cheerfully than the young people. Wang Zi'an was also amused and amused.
"I can't do it anymore - I'm old, I'm old, I'm not as good as I used to be -"
After saying that, the old man even sighed, which made Wang Zian dumbfounded. The old man was still in Versailles.
"My little friend, I am very curious and want to know what kind of delicacies my little friend usually enjoys, so that these wines and dishes are difficult to swallow..."
Before Wang Zi'an could speak, the old man changed the subject and returned to food. Look at that posture, if Wang Zi'an tells him a place name, he might be able to go there immediately.
"It's not really a gourmet food. I usually just cook something by myself and eat it - but it may be more delicious than the one in front of me. To be honest, among the restaurants in Chang'an City, every one of them has a good craftsmanship. It’s really a bit rough…”
Wang Zi'an felt that he had to be more modest.
The round old man's face turned dark when he heard this.
This is bullshit!
"Ah, I didn't expect that my little friend is not only unparalleled in poetry, but also has such superb cooking skills!"
Having said this, the old man coughed dryly and showed a look of anticipation.
"Ahem, I wonder if I have a chance to taste my little friend's craftsmanship - don't worry, I won't eat your food for free. Whatever you want, just say it. Although I am old now and have nothing to do, but in this city of Chang'an , when I say it, I think it still has some weight..."
Upon hearing what Wang Zi'an said, the old man opposite who looked like his wife suddenly became energetic. Looking at Wang Zi'an, he couldn't help but show a look of excitement on his face.
Wang Zi’an:……
To be honest, old man, your bragging attitude is very much like that of a friend of mine.
"May I ask the old man what your last name is——"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help complaining in his heart and asked subconsciously.
"My surname is Li..."
Wang Zi’an:! ! ! ! ! !
What a coincidence, another friend of mine also has the last name Li!
You, the old Li family, all have the attribute of bragging.
Looking at the old man taking care of everything, Wang Zian didn't know how to complain.
"Mr. Li, right? That's fine. As long as you don't mind it, I'll go to the kitchen behind and give you two simple side dishes. I just don't know if the store owner agrees..."
To be honest, Wang Zi'an himself couldn't eat the dish in front of him. Looking at the time, the victorious army could not get through for a while, so he simply nodded and prepared to go to the kitchen to make a few and eat some himself.
"Leave the business of the store to me——"
The plump old man took Wang Zi'an to the kitchen without saying a word.
I don’t know what he said to the shopkeeper. After a while, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed over to invite him.
"Sir, you can use the ingredients here as you like. If you need anything, you can always give your order and I will go buy it for you right away..."
"Don't go to such trouble, we'll just make do with some-"
Wang Zi'an glanced briefly and waved his hand.
The kitchen in this restaurant is indeed a bit simple. All kinds of seasonings are reliable, but there are chopped green onions, oil and salt. Wang Zi'an was too lazy to ask others to buy it, so he used local materials, processed them briefly, and then started to work.
"Little friend Wang, do you want us to step aside?"
The chubby old man asked tentatively.
"It doesn't matter——"
Wang Zi'an waved his hand casually and just cooked a few home-cooked dishes. There was nothing to hide.
