Crispy rice is also one of the recipes that Su Yonglin put out from inside the palace.
Because he likes to eat claypot rice, he got himself a clay pot and asked the chef to make claypot rice. After the chef failed several times, he mastered the method, and the claypot rice cooked became more and more delicious.
As the menu of "Palace Cuisine" spread out of the palace, claypot rice also gained a foothold in Zhongdu's food scene and survived in Zhongdu under the name of "Crispy Rice".
Five years after Hongwu, with the intentional and unintentional promotion of Su Yonglin, the consumption of rice food has firmly occupied the top three in the Zhongdu consumption list. Many small shops making rice crust are located in major food shopping streets. It shines brightly, with many unique and popular shops appearing.
Su Zeying obviously likes eating crispy rice.
"This is a shop opened by my friend's house. My friend invited me to eat here once. It was really delicious. I think it tastes better than what the chefs in the palace cook."
"Really? Then I want to try."
Su Yonglin was immediately interested.
He didn't think that the food made by the chefs in the palace was necessarily better than the food in the shops outside.
He actually spends very little money on food, and he controls this expenditure very strictly. Generally speaking, this is the expenditure law in the army. Whatever he buys and how much he spends, it must be strictly recorded and disclosed at any time. of.
The [Royal Chefs] in the palace are also recruited from the old firemen in the army. They understand the discipline in the army. What they are best at is big pot rice, not the kind of delicate side dishes, and the cooking level is not top-notch.
But even if there are real imperial chefs in the feudal dynasty, even if they spend a lot of money on raw materials, there are still many people who make a mess in cooking. It is not unheard of in history that the emperor found the dishes cooked by the imperial chef too unpalatable and found another way.
An egg costs 2 taels of silver, and a cucumber costs 5 taels of silver. There really aren't many people who want to make a profit from it, but the resulting food is still a mess. It can only be said to be rotten from top to bottom.
So Su Yonglin used the normal household expenditure level to set the palace food level, and was not allowed to exceed it. There has always been no problem.
Having said that, if there is something delicious, he is also willing to try it for a change of taste. Now that Su Zeying said it is delicious, Su Yonglin is really looking forward to Zeng Kee Crispy Rice.
When he saw the customer coming, the owner, a busy little man who looked to be in his thirties, came over with a smile.
"Here you three, what would you like to eat today?"
Before Su Yonglin could speak, Su Zeying smiled and spoke.
"Uncle, do you still remember me?"
"Huh? Oh! You...are classmate Xiao Cao, right? Oops, you haven't been here for a while!"
"Isn't this coming? Hehehehe."
"Hahahaha, then of these two...which one is your father?"
"This is my father, and this...is my second uncle."
"Oh, you two are good, you two are good, this... Comrade Cao, Xiao Cao is a good boy. He has helped my children a lot in their studies. I have to thank you for raising such a good son."
Seeing the passionate conversation between the shop owner and his son, Su Yonglin didn't react for a while.
After finally reacting, he smiled at the shop owner and said, "No, no, it's all the child's mother who taught me well. I'm usually very busy and don't discipline him much. I just hope he doesn't cause trouble."
"Where are you talking? What a good boy! If this were my son, I would die laughing!"
The shop owner smiled and said: "Xiao Cao's grades are so good. If he takes the imperial examination in the future, he will definitely be the top scholar! He has a bright future!"
"Then I would wake up laughing in my dream, hahahaha."
"Hahahaha, that's not... Oops! I have forgotten that you are here to eat. Classmate Xiao Cao, what do you want to eat? I'm here to treat you and your family today!"
Su Zeying looked at Su Yonglin with a smile, and then waved her hand.
"No, uncle, my dad is rich, don't save money for him, and he finally took me out for a meal today. It's not him who spent the money, so I'm not happy."
"Ouch, this... this..."
The shop owner looked at Su Yonglin embarrassedly.
Su Yonglin felt a little depressed, wondering why this boy's elbows turned outwards - as the saying goes, don't girls only turn their elbows outwards? How come this kid of my own...
Stereotypes are unacceptable.
But then again, this was indeed his fault, and since he had no basis for reasoning, Su Yonglin could only nod with a wry smile.
"I'm too busy. I usually don't have time to accompany him. He can do whatever he wants. Come on, Ze... Ruiling, just tell me what you want to eat. Daddy will pay for it."
"okay!"
Su Zeying said with a smile: "I want a clay pot rice with pork bones, and my second uncle wants a clay pot rice with mutton. My dad... give him a rice crispy rice with straw mushroom and chicken! He is happy to eat these."
"okay."
The shopkeeper walked to the kitchen with a smile.
The three of them sat down at an empty table. As soon as they sat down, Su Yonglin reached out and grabbed Su Zeying's face.
"Good boy, do you think daddy has too much money to use up? Your elbows are turned outward before you grow up?"
"I'm not wrong, right?"
Su Zeying wasn't much either, staring at Su Yonglin with a smile.
Su Yonglin was speechless for a while and turned to look at Su Yong. Su Yong gave his statement with a smile.
"Alang, I think what Zeying said is right. We don't need to take advantage of other shop owners, right? It's rare to go out for a meal, so don't worry about this kind of thing."
"Yeah, it's true."
Su Yonglin shook his head and looked around at the appearance of the shop and the diners nearby who were eating and laughing. He was quite satisfied.
Being able to see such a scene under his rule was the greatest affirmation for him, and it also proved that the pockets of ordinary people in Zhongdu were indeed bulging.
Otherwise, the catering industry would not be so prosperous.
Su Yonglin would visit the three commercial food streets in Zhongdu whenever he had free time. As time went by, the three food streets were indeed becoming more and more prosperous. Daxing Prefecture had proposed to expand the three food festivals more than once.
Isn't this his favorite development?
Su Yonglin happily poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
Then, just as he was about to talk to Su Zeying, a little girl suddenly ran in from the door of the store, saw Su Zeying at a glance, and then ran over with a smile on her face.
"Cao Ruiling!"
The little girl stood cutely behind Su Zeying, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Why didn't you say anything to me when you came here?"
Su Zeying didn't seem surprised by this. When she turned around and saw the little girl, she smiled broadly.
"I didn't know that my father came to pick me up from school and took me out for dinner. Your crispy rice is the best, so I came to take care of your business. Do you want to thank me?"
"Daddy?"
The little girl seemed to have just seen Su Yonglin and Su Yong.
"Which one?"
"This is my father, and this is my second uncle."
The little girl nodded immediately, then bowed slightly towards Su Yonglin and Su Yong.
"Hello Uncle Cao, hello Uncle Cao."
Uncle Cao?
Uncle Cao?
Su Yonglin and Su Yong looked at each other and laughed together.
"Hello, little lady, what's your name?"
Su Yonglin asked with a smile.
"My name is Zeng Hui, and I am Cao Ruiling's classmate."
"Oh, classmate."
Su Yonglin looked at Su Zeying and said with a smile: "Thank you for inviting our Ruiling to dinner last time. He told me that your crispy rice is very delicious and he insisted on bringing me to eat it again."
"No, no, Cao Ruiling often helps me with my studies. I'm stupid and don't know many questions. I only know how to ask him to explain them to me, so I want to thank him..."
The more Zeng Hui talked, the redder her face became. As she spoke, she couldn't continue. She reached out and patted Su Zeying, turned around and ran away.
"I'm going to help daddy work!"
