Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

That being said.

But Qin Yu still saw the resentment and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Whether you are doing well or not is not something you can tell by saying a few words of loyalty.

Qin Yu was not in a hurry either.

The so-called Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts.

When you get along with each other later, you will naturally know.

"You all report your names, so I can call you."

"Mr. Qin, my name is Wang Dagui."

"My name is Chen Baolin."

The two cooks introduced themselves first.

Then came the four fellows who came here, and they each said their names.

After listening, Qin Yu said to the two cooks:
"From now on, I will call you Lao Wang and Lao Chen."

"As for the four of you, I will call your names directly from now on."

Naturally, they would not refute the new master's words, and responded repeatedly.

"Yang Ming, Wu Qi, you two, I will go shopping with Lao Wang and Lao Chen in a while, buy whatever you have, and ask for everything, and I will teach you some simple dishes when the vegetables come back later. "

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

The two cooks didn't care about Qin Yu's teaching them how to cook, and they even felt a little disdainful in their hearts.

If it wasn't for the people above who ordered them to come over, they definitely wouldn't even want to talk to Qin Yu.

The difference between being a cook in a palace and being a cook in a dilapidated restaurant is obvious.

Not only the two cooks, but also the servants had a lot of opinions on Qin Yu in their hearts.

It's just the owner of a down-and-out restaurant, how can it compare with the palace?
Not only did they eat well in the palace, their status was still higher than others.

If you come here, you can only be a handyman in a dilapidated restaurant.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, they dropped several classes at once.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment towards Qin Yu due to the decline in status.

It's just difficult to order.

Qin Yu didn't care what they thought, took the money and handed it to Lao Wang and Lao Chen,

"Go now and buy whatever you can."

After all, it was getting late, and Qin Yu wasn't sure what he could buy.

There is some chestnut rice in the kitchen, in addition to the rice, spinach and instant noodles provided by the system.

After Yang Ming, Wu Qi and the two cooks left, Qin Yu also arranged for the remaining two to clean up the hygiene of the restaurant.

Then take the two of them to the blacksmith's shop to get the iron pot.

When I came back, I went to the pottery store to buy some small wine glasses for drinking.

"Sir, why does your kettle look different from other people's?"

Kang Tian and Liu Zheng asked curiously.

Qin Yu curled his lips into a smile,
"Because it's not called a cauldron, but a pot."

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Qin Yu explained:
"This pot is for cooking."

Stir fry?

The two of them had been in the Hejian County Prince's Mansion for many years, but they had never heard of this word.

"What is stir-fry?"

"You'll know in a while."

Even though they didn't understand, Qin Yu didn't explain too much.

After taking the two of them back, it didn't take long for Lao Wang and Lao Chen to come back with two young men carrying vegetables.

Qin Yu took a look and found that they were not bad, shepherd's purse, mustard greens, various radishes, cucumbers, eggplants, celery, and leeks.

The variety is much richer than Qin Yu imagined.

As for meat, there is no other meat except mutton.

"Why no chicken and pork?"

Qin Yu asked.

Lao Wang raised his eyelids and said lightly:
"The nobles in Chang'an City don't like to eat other dishes except boiled mutton. Pork is very smelly, and chicken is not considered meat."

Chicken is not meat?
Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, and something related seemed to come to his mind.

After winning the skill of photographic memory, Qin Yu found that the memories of the books he read before coming to Tang Dynasty became clearer in his mind.

Not only that, even the memory of the original owner is clear.

He also remembered the matter that chicken is not considered meat.

For productivity and other reasons.

In folk opinion, only mammals are considered meat.

Raised chickens and ducks are not considered meat.

Of course, it was Li Er who really kicked chickens out of Datang's meat ranks.

As for the reason, it was because of Ma Zhou, a famous minister of Zhenguan, after the historical story of "Four Invitations to Ma Zhou" was staged.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, that is, last year, Li Shimin appointed Ma Zhou as the supervisory censor who inspected the local area. Since then, Ma Zhou has often traveled to the local area on business.

In order to reduce the burden on the people, Li Shimin once stipulated that the supervisory censor was not allowed to eat meat during his business trips.

But Ma Zhou likes to eat chicken very much, even if he is on a business trip, he has to eat something enjoyable, which caused Ma Zhou to be stabbed in the back and reported to him.

The crime is illegal eating meat.

So Li Shimin came directly to a wave of coquettish operations, saying that he would not let Yushi eat meat, what does it have to do with eating chicken?
Since then, chicken has fallen into obscurity.

"Wu Qi, go and buy some chickens."

Regardless of whether it's meat or not, in Qin Yu's eyes, chicken is a delicacy. Spicy chicken can't be realized, but roast chicken, roast chicken, salt and pepper chicken, baked salt chicken...

In short, it is delicious no matter how you eat it.

Wu Qi took the money and ran out.

In the restaurant, Qin Yu arranged for a few young men to wash out all kinds of vegetables and meat, and the two cooks cut them into the shapes he wanted according to Qin Yu's requirements.

"Mr. Qin, how can this Kunlun purple melon be cut like this?"

According to Qin Yu's request, Lao Chen cut the Kunlun purple melon, also known as eggplant, into round slices.

He has been a cook for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has seen Kunlun purple melon cut like this.

"Mr. Qin, why don't you go rest and leave the kitchen to us," Old Chen said.

It's not that he feels sorry for Qin Yulei, but that he thinks he doesn't understand, so he gives some instructions.

Qin Yu shook his head, "I'm fine, Lao Chen, wash the meat, cut it into minced meat and marinate it with seasoning."

If Qin Yu didn't leave, they couldn't help it, and the deed of sale was still in his hands, so he could only hold back his anger and be commanded by Qin Yu.

Soon, the minced meat and eggplant were ready, and Qin Yu asked Lao Chen to beat the eggs and get the flour.

Add the seasoning by yourself and mix the minced meat well, then pick it up with chopsticks and stuff it into the middle of the eggplant, coat both sides with egg liquid and flour, put it in the pan and start frying.

Qin Yu moved quickly.

Before Lao Chen and Lao Wang could react, Qin Yu fixed it.

It didn't take long for the fresh and sweet eggplant boxes to come out of the pan.

Smelling the alluring aroma, Lao Wang and Lao Chen were filled with disbelief.

"Mr. Qin, what is this?"

Qin Yu held the plate and pushed it in front of the two,
"This is called an eggplant box. Try it. The same method can also be used to make a lotus root box. You can try it later."

Lao Wang and Lao Chen reached out their hands subconsciously, and each took an eggplant box and put it in their mouths to taste it.

The entrance is delicious, sweet and glutinous, with the aroma of egg liquid and flour on the outside, the umami taste of eggplant in the middle, and the salty aroma of pork in the inside. It is not too delicious.

"This...why doesn't this meat smell bad?"
