"Then Brother Cui thinks how should I sell my MSG?"
Since the other party called him Brother Tang, Tang Ping also followed the stick and called him Brother Cui. Of course, he meant to use the other party's sales channels.
As a modern person, he knows very well how important channels are in an era like the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Tang, why don't you prepare to treat me to another meal?" Cui Zhongqing said with a smile: "I think all the major restaurants in Chang'an City are still willing to sell me Cui Er a favor."
After hearing this, Tang Ping's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands in thanks and said, "That's how I thank Brother Cui!"
According to Cui Zhongqing, if people from major restaurants in Chang'an could be invited over, then it would be great to invite them to participate in the auction.
"Xiao Luo, come and add two dishes to Brother Cui!"
…
Soon, all the shopkeepers of major restaurants in Chang'an City received Cui Zhongqing's posts.
"Shanghe Village? Isn't that a place in the south of the city where birds don't poop?"
"Want to go?"
"Go, why don't you go? You have to give face to the second son of the Cui family!" Every restaurant is a big consumer of salt. For a family like the Cui family that controls a large amount of salt industry resources, let alone make good friends. At least I can't offend him.
And although Cui Zhongqing is known as a treason and deviant in Chang'an City, he rarely does any absurd things, so if he invites everyone over this time, he has something to say.
Only Manager Wang from Wangshu Tower looked at Shanghe Village on the post and roughly knew who Cui Zhongqing was probably inviting guests to on behalf of.
Could it be that the person named Tang Ping is really the Cui family?
When the shopkeepers of various restaurants brought people to Shanghe Village, they realized that there seemed to be something different here.
What it is specifically is hard to say, or maybe it has something to do with the row of strange-shaped glassware pillars hanging on the roadside holding strings?
For this meal, Tang Ping also made a lot of preparations. First of all, he built a lot of small booths in the open space in the middle of the village.
After all, we can't let so many people sit at the same table to eat this time.
The shopkeepers sat down with doubts. Is Mr. Cui going to invite everyone to dinner? But why choose a remote place like Shanghe Village?
Cui Zhongqing, as the person who posted the post, came out and cupped his hands and said: "Cui is usually in Chang'an City and is taken care of by the shopkeepers, so today I have a good thing and I can't forget you. Why don't we have a meal first and then talk?" "
These people came from Chang'an, and some of them were indeed hungry. Fatty Liu, the shopkeeper of Bazhenlou, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a silk scarf: "Okay, I just don't know what Mr. Cui will entertain us today?" "
Cui Zhongqing is a frequent visitor to Bazhen Tower, and the two of them are familiar with each other, so they talk much more casually.
"To be honest, Fat Brother, I don't even know what to eat today, hahaha!"
After Cui Zhongqing finished speaking, the maids began to serve the dishes. These maids were all brought by Cui Zhongqing. After all, Xiao Luo and Lu Yi were in charge of the dishes today. It was impossible to ask Lao Cui and Lao Du, two men who looked like veterans at first glance, to serve the dishes. Come on, otherwise Cui Zhongqing is really afraid that these shopkeepers will think that he is here to kidnap people today.
Tang Ping had already handed over one hundred kilograms of iodized salt to Cui Zhongqing in advance, and even boasted to him about the difference between this salt and ordinary Tang salt.
So the Cui family also reciprocated and helped Tang Ping support this time.
"What's this?"
Looking at the dishes that were served, the shopkeepers present were a little confused.
You must know that there are no small restaurant owners who can come here today. They are all famous restaurants in Chang'an City.
Apart from anything else, they are definitely well-informed when it comes to food, but they have never seen the first dish today.
"This yellow thing seems to be an egg?"
The plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of them was indeed a bit too much for them.
The first is that stir-fried dishes only began to appear slowly during the Song Dynasty. At this time, the cooking method did not yet include stir-frying.
One is due to the cooking oil, and the other is due to the craftsmanship of the iron pot.
Therefore, many shopkeepers looked at the scrambled eggs for a long time, and then tasted them before they could barely identify them.
Not to mention tomatoes. In China, generally speaking, many dishes with the Chinese characters for "西", "脳", and Chinese characters are imported.
Tomatoes had not yet been introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, so if you see a protagonist in a costume drama about the Tang Dynasty eating tomatoes and scrambled eggs, you can’t go wrong by criticizing him.
No one here has ever eaten tomatoes, how could he possibly recognize them?
Of course, they saw from a distance that the food in Cui Zhongqing's bowl was similar to theirs, and Cui Zhongqing ate it with gusto.
No matter what, it's impossible for Cui Zhongqing to trick the famous restaurant owner from Quan Chang'an to come here and poison him together, right?
So even though they didn’t know tomatoes, everyone started to taste them.
“The eggs are so tender and fragrant, I don’t know how they are made?”
"And this red thing is sweet, fresh, and delicious!"
"I didn't expect that I have been in the restaurant industry for more than 30 years, but as soon as this dish was served, I recognized the few chopped green onions on it!"
Fatty Liu stood up and said loudly:
"This dish looks like the three colors of red, yellow and green complement each other. It gets ten points for color. It has a special sour taste that attracts your appetite. It also gets ten points for aroma. Its taste is even more extraordinary. It’s not too much to give ten points. Which chef’s craftsmanship is this? I wonder if you can let me see it later?”
The people here are both peers and competitors. If someone has such skills, everyone will know about it in less than three days.
From this point of view, the person in charge today must be a newly arrived chef from Chang'an.
"Fat brother, don't worry, this is the first course. After we finish eating, the owner who wants to come here will ask the chef to come out and see you."
Cui Zhongqing pronounced the word "chef" very strongly. He was always shocked every time he came to Tang Ping's place. He was now looking forward to how these people would see Xiao Luo's performance.
At this time, these shopkeepers no longer dare to underestimate the owner here. If they can invite such a chef, they will not be ordinary people.
The tomatoes and scrambled eggs in front of each person were not too much, and they were all eaten in a few bites. Fatty Liu even licked the plate clean in a secretive manner.
It's delicious. It's so delicious. Even restaurant owners like them have tasted delicacies from all over the world, and they have to admit that this thing is delicious.
Tang Ping looked at the reactions of these people and nodded secretly. If he didn't use some real skills to suppress these people first, even with Cui Zhongqing's endorsement, these people would inevitably take him seriously.
Only by making your weight heavier can the MSG auction be sold at a higher price.
