Just when there was a stir outside, Shen Wei led people out again, wondering what happened today? Why are there so many troublemakers? When he came out and took a look, Shen Wei hurriedly took two steps, "Isn't this Cheng Kaixuan Cheng Zhifu?"
When everyone heard that it was the prefect, they didn't dare to speak for a moment and pushed away. No one dared to speak!
Cheng Kaixuan smiled, "I heard that General Zhao... Mr. Zhao opened a restaurant. I wanted to join in the fun, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous!"
Shen Wei smiled, "What are you talking about? Come on, I'll take you in!" Shen Wei took Cheng Kaixuan into the room and arranged it directly into the private room on the second floor!
Cheng Kaixuan walked in, looked at the restaurant carefully, and smiled slightly, "Where is Mr. Zhao?"
Shen Wei smiled, "My young master is busy in the kitchen!"
"What? Mr. Zhao is in the kitchen?"
"That's right! He is the only one who can fry these vegetables from the Western Regions, so the kitchen cannot do without him. I'm going to order you some of my young master's specialty dishes, and I'll let him come and talk to you later!"
"Thank you!" After Shen Wei left, Cheng Kaixuan couldn't help but wonder, what did Zhao Xuanyi want to do? A dignified general who didn't do anything, actually became a cook? What does this mean?
While Zhao Xuanyi was cooking, he handed over the cooking skills to Qilin Wei beside him. He couldn't be busy in the kitchen every day. Even though he liked it, he couldn't be busy here every day?
Hearing that Cheng Kaixuan was coming, Zhao Xuanyi cooked a few dishes and asked his servants to carry them to the second floor. As soon as he walked into the private room, Cheng Kaixuan hurriedly stood up and put down his chopsticks: "Mr. Zhao, long time no see!"
"Master Cheng, long time no see! How are you? Is my craft still good enough?"
"It's so delicious! I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to actually be able to cook, and this is my first time eating these foods from the Western Regions. They taste really good!" Cheng Kaixuan said with a smile.
"As long as you like it. Although these are delicacies in our country, in fact, they are some home-cooked dishes in the countries in the Western Regions. I also want to start selling the seeds of these vegetables next year so that the people of the entire Ming Dynasty can eat them. , everyone can plant it at home, then it will be a universal celebration!”
Cheng Kaixuan raised his thumb, "Master Zhao is really not a mortal! I am really impressed by Master Zhao's sincerity. If you can, please let me help! With these vegetables, the people of Ming Dynasty will definitely live and work in peace and contentment!"
Zhao Xuanyi also smiled and nodded. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a burst of chaotic sounds and noisy sounds coming from outside. It seemed like there was going to be a fight. Zhao Xuanyi and Cheng Kaixuan hurriedly came to the window and looked out!
I saw more than thirty soldiers in official uniforms coming outside. The leader was a man in a green robe. The officials were riding horses, and beside them was a young man who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face.
The man pointed his finger at Yu Wenzhu, "Uncle, it was this bastard who beat me, refused to let me eat again, and even beat me. You have to make the decision for me!"
Shen Wei and Yu Wenzhu came out and took a look. They looked at each other and smiled. Yu Wenzhu asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the governor of Hangzhou, Liu Yiqiang! Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Liu Yiqiang shouted loudly with official authority.
Yu Wenzhu laughed when he heard this, "I didn't break the law and I didn't steal. Besides, this is not a courtroom. Why should I kneel down to you?"
After hearing this, Liu Yiqiang's eyes revealed a sinister look, "You're such a cunning citizen, you dare to ignore me and despise the laws of the court. Today, I'm going to show you what the king's law is. Come on, give me a thirty Slabs!"
"Yes!" Four soldiers came over quickly, apparently ready to push Yu Wenzhu to the ground for execution. When the people queuing up saw this, they turned pale with fright and kept retreating. They didn't expect that they would provoke the government today. Got it!
Yu Wenzhu's eyes showed murderous intent, and he clenched his fists with both hands, ready to risk his life!
At this moment, a man's voice was heard saying, "Mr. Liu, what a powerful official!"
When Liu Yiqiang heard this, he snorted coldly, "Who is it? Do you also want to try this king's method together?"
When Cheng Kaixuan walked out of the restaurant, Liu Yiqiang saw him. He was so frightened that he quickly got off his horse and knelt on the ground, "So the prefect is here. I don't know that you are dining here. I disturbed you. It's a crime for me." You deserve to die!"
After Cheng Kaixuan heard this, he smiled coldly, "I really didn't realize it. It turns out that Mr. Liu, who is usually so powerful, actually led his men to beat up civilians wantonly. This officer really gained his knowledge!"
"I don't dare. It was the people from this restaurant who beat the villain's nephew first, and then...?"
"Shut up!" Cheng Kaixuan shouted and grabbed Liu Yiqiang. "Do you really don't want to live? Do you know who runs this restaurant?"
Liu Yiqiang looked confused, "Is it you, sir?"
"Fart! Everyone here has to kneel down when I see him. Even King Yong'an is very polite when he talks to others. I think you have really had enough!" Cheng Kaixuan shouted loudly!
"What? Me? I didn't hear about it!" Liu Yiqiang thought to himself, which adult opened this? Why haven't you heard any information?
"Listen, if you don't want to die, immediately prepare a thousand taels of silver and come over for dinner and wait in line! Do you understand?" Cheng Kaixuan said.
"I understand, I understand!" Liu Yiqiang turned around and came to his nephew and slapped him twice, blinding the man for a moment.
"Uncle? What are you doing?"
"Shut up! If you dare to come to this Xianyan Residence to cause trouble again, I will break your legs! Go back and kneel in the ancestral hall for three days! Get out!" Liu Yiqiang shouted.
"Me? Yes!" The man covered his face, wondering what was going on? Why are you still hitting me?
Liu Yiqiang shouted loudly, "Everyone who comes to Xianyanju from now on must line up properly, otherwise everyone will see the result. I beat my nephew just the same as me, do you all hear that?"
"I heard it!" Everyone thought to themselves, what is going on, coming all the way to stage a righteous act of killing relatives?
And Xianyanju spread throughout the Ming Dynasty almost overnight. The cuisine of the Western Regions was the best in the world. It became famous for a while, attracting rich people and nobles from other counties and towns to come one after another, all wanting to taste this delicious food. !
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Nanzhu returned to Mingyue Palace with a letter in his hand: "Princess Qi, there is some information that needs to be reported!"
"speak!"
"General Zhao Xuanyi opened a restaurant in Hangzhou called Xianyanju. I heard that the business was surprisingly booming, and all the vegetables used in the restaurant were vegetables from the Western Regions, which we don't have in the Ming Dynasty. Now it has become a nationwide sensation. I heard that the children of aristocratic families in the capital are all I rushed here because I want to try this Western cuisine!”
Zhu Yuejun couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "What did you say? Zhao Xuanyi opens a restaurant?"
"That's right, according to Yue Wei's investigation, he even cooked the dishes himself! Did he cook all the dishes himself?"
"He can cook?"
"It seems so!" Nanzhu nodded and said.
Zhu Yuejun laughed after hearing this, "A general doesn't read the art of war but only the recipes? What does Zhao Xuanyi mean?"
"It seems that... he is really living an ordinary life!" Nanzhu said.
"An ordinary person's life? Is he an ordinary person? It's just nonsense!" Zhu Yuejun threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.
Nanzhu was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry and did not dare to speak any more! Zhu Yuejun was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, "You've been away for a few months just to open a restaurant? Zhao Xuanyi, what on earth do you want to do?"
After half a month of trial operation, Xianyanju’s business is even more booming than expected. People are queuing up outside. There are even people who don’t eat after getting the number, but sell to other people who need to eat. In exchange for some copper coins!
Everyone is not surprised by this, as long as someone is willing to buy his number, if no one buys his number, it will be useless to hear the number when he is called!
After half a month of teaching, Zhao Xuanyi finally trained two brothers with good cooking skills in Qilin Guard to become chefs. This way Zhao Xuanyi can relax more. When he is busy, he will cook together, and when he is not busy, he will let these two Apprentice helped!
"He Zhihua, how many times have I told you not to fry tomatoes for too long, otherwise they will lose their moisture!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes! Master!" He Zhihua shouted.
"Chen Chao, you put too much chili pepper. When your relatives come, why don't you put so much chili pepper? It's too spicy and even the guests can't eat it!"
"Yes, Master!"
Zhao Xuanyi kept scolding the two apprentices, and the eight assistants on the side were all envious when they saw it. They also wanted to learn these stir-fry dishes, but unfortunately they did not have such good luck!
Xiao Xing walked into the kitchen, "Young Master, another table of guests came and ordered eight dishes!"
Zhao Xuanyi took a look at the menu and shouted, "Three fresh ground vegetables, shredded pork with green peppers, pork slices, volcanic snow, fried eggplant boxes, stewed mutton with tomatoes, potato slices in a griddle, and mashed potatoes with minced meat! Hurry up!" !”
"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly got busy upon hearing this!
Zhao Xuanyi stood aside, took a cup, and took a sip of water. Now the restaurant is gradually on the right track. Unexpectedly, no matter in which era, people's pursuit of delicious food has never changed!
Seeing that nothing was going on in the kitchen, Zhao Xuanyi came to the front hall. One of the six tables downstairs was not open to guests. Shen Wei, Jinglan and Ziyuan were sitting there chatting, just in case someone made trouble. They could Taking action in time, Xiaoxing took a group of maids as waiters!
And Du Xinyu is standing happily at the counter, calculating and calculating. She enjoys this kind of life, it is very fulfilling, and she can also use her talents!
When Shen Wei saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, he hurriedly gave way and said, "Young Master, are you not busy anymore?"
"Well!" Zhao Xuanyi sat down, "How are you? Are you okay these two days?"
"It's okay! Ever since the magistrate and the magistrate came here, there hasn't been any trouble here, and the local gangsters don't dare to come to trouble!" Shen Wei said with a smile.
"That's good! By the way, it's estimated that in another half month, the food in the ground can no longer be kept. At that time, all the food will be put away and stored in the ice cellar in the mansion. Otherwise, it will all rot. Only the peppers will be kept. , don't move!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Why...why?" Zi Yuan asked.
"You don't understand. This pepper should turn red soon. When it turns red, pick it off and dry it, and it will turn into another delicacy!"
"Really? I'm looking forward to it!" Zi Yuan said with a smile.
"Of course, there must not be so many potatoes. Let's dig them out immediately. Brother Shen, go to the town to make a set of tools for dehydrating vegetables. Make the potatoes at home in the same way as before. In winter, We have food to eat!”
"Can these potatoes be used too? I know!" Shen Wei said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi stretched out, "It's a pity that it's too far away from the capital. Otherwise, I really want to send some to my father, mother, and father-in-law! Hey, other food won't work, but peppers, potatoes, and pumpkins will do. Zi Yuan, arrange it One moment, send two cars back!"
"Uncle, I understand your good intentions, but... they won't do it!" Zi Yuan said with an embarrassed look.
"Where's Lychee? What do you do here every day? Throw it in the kitchen and learn how to go back to Beijing to cook for your father-in-law!"
"Her? Let her eat it!" After Zi Yuan said this, everyone laughed!
Zhao Xuanyi came to the counter and stood next to Du Xinyu, watching her crackling the abacus. Zhao Xuanyi was dazzled. Although he had also learned abacus, when it came time to use it, he gave it all back to the teacher!
He looked left and right, everyone looked this way, and grabbed Du Xinyu's buttocks with his big hands, "How much did you earn today?"
Du Xinyu opened Zhao Xuanyi's hand with a look of disgust, "Don't make trouble, I made a mistake later!"
Zhao Xuanyi was very aggrieved, "You have changed, and you don't even let me be intimate with you anymore!"
Du Xinyu sighed, "My ancestor, please don't make trouble? You can do whatever you want when you go back tonight, don't disturb me now, okay? I have to settle all these accounts!"
"You don't have much money, what's the point for you?"
"How much? Do you know how much money we make per day now? In the past five days, all vegetable prices have recovered, and the number of customers has increased. You can earn two hundred taels of silver every day, and you can earn one thousand taels for five thousand! You Don't give it all to me!" Du Xinyu said with a smile.
"Who doesn't want it? I earned it all by working hard!" Zhao Xuanyi said loudly.
When Du Xinyu heard this, she frowned and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, seemingly unhappy! Zhao Xuanyi instantly understood Du Xinyu's eyes, "Of course, you also helped me a lot. I admit that this restaurant has at least 15% of your credit!"
"How much? Fifteen percent?" Du Xinyu threw the abacus aside and faced Zhao Xuanyi head on!
"Twenty percent?" Zhao Xuanyi asked again.
"Ha! You, Zhao Xuanyi, are really good at settling accounts. From farming to opening the restaurant, I didn't do anything myself. Even this restaurant was negotiated by me, remember?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and took Du Xinyu's hand, "Don't be angry, how about we open a branch? It's called Xinyu Tower, named after you. How about that?"
Du Xinyu shook off Zhao Xuanyi's hand, "If you are sincere, write it on the house deed!"
Zhao Xuanyi's eyes widened, "Are you starting to plunder my property?"
While the two were flirting, Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi with a panicked expression, "Young Master, a group of special guests are coming outside. You may need to greet them in person!"
Zhao Xuanyi frowned after hearing this, "Who is it? If you want to eat, come in. If you don't want to eat, just get out... Wuwu?"
Shen Wei covered Zhao Xuanyi's mouth and shook his head at Zhao Xuanyi, "You'd better go out and take a look!"
Zhao Xuanyi was very curious, who is it? Scared Shen Wei like this? Could it be that bastard causing trouble for him again? Zhao Xuanyi pushed Shen Wei's hand away and slapped Du Xinyu on the butt, "Let's have a good talk when we go back tonight. I will accompany you in both civil and military battles!" After saying that, he walked out of the restaurant!
