(This is released regularly, and the next chapter will be scheduled at 3 o'clock on the next road. If you have recommended tickets, please reward a few tickets. Thank you, a good person has a life.)
Although the previous three spicy dishes were served with rice, it was time for a light dish at this time.

It is also a representative dish of stir-fry - stir-fried vegetables!

The name is very ordinary and simple, yes, it is fried vegetables.

And it is still stir-fried. Before stir-frying, for the ancients, there was almost only one way to eat green vegetables, and that was to boil.

No matter what kind of vegetables they are, they must be cooked. Sometimes they are not cooked well. If they are cooked for a while, the vegetables will be overcooked, the taste and texture will decline sharply, and it will be difficult to taste.

In addition, ancient table salt contains too many impurities and peculiar smells, so the cooked vegetables, haha.

Li Chu first boiled half a pot of water in the pot, put a little bit of oil in the water, put the spinach in it and scald it for a few seconds after boiling, then take it out, pour off the water, put the oil in the pot, put in the chopped garlic , then put the spinach in and stir-fry over high heat.

Add just a little bit of salt to the seasoning, then heat up.

After serving the spinach, Li Chu began to cut the ham sausage and pork.

Ham sausage is a lean meat sausage, and Li Chu is going to make a soup, lean meat, egg and ham soup.

Dare to play soup in the Song Dynasty, Li Chu naturally has his own confidence, first of all, as mentioned earlier, the problem of table salt, Li Chu's table salt is the kind of iodized refined salt of later generations, without other peculiar smell, this is a pot of good soup Base.

Secondly, it’s MSG.

The function of MSG and chicken essence is to enhance the freshness, especially for soups. There is a big difference between adding it and not adding it.

It's a pity that I don't have extra custom coins to make seaweed, otherwise I can make more soups.

For the remaining dish, Li Chu thought about it, and finally made the very classic fish-flavored shredded pork.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, carrots had not yet been introduced to China, so Li Chu used white radish instead, but the taste effect was not much different.

……

On the dining table, there were four plates and two large bowls. Except for the boiled pork slices, which still had a lot of soup left in it, the other plates were already empty.

The old man and the young man in purple covered their stomachs and hiccupped, their faces still enjoying the comfort...

Yummy, delicious!
Especially the young man in purple, this has surpassed any dish he has ever eaten, or in other words, after eating the dish made by this person today, he realized that what he ate before was all pig food!
That's right, pig food!
This new style of cuisine and this wonderful taste have been deeply imprinted in his mind and imprinted on his taste buds. As soon as he thinks about it, that delicious taste will appear again.

As for the old man, he felt that he could die without regrets.

Oh no no, absolutely not to die, this is going to die, how can I eat such delicious dishes in the future?
This time, it was no different than the private courtyard before. It was a friend's office of a dignitary. It was very rare to be lucky enough to enter and enjoy it.And here in front of me, this little brother's cooking is not only several times more delicious than that in the private courtyard, but more importantly, this is a restaurant, which means that if you want to eat in the future, you can come here to eat.

Not to mention, there are so many seasonings that he has never seen before, as well as so many names of dishes that he sang before, the old man still wants to find time in the future to eat all the delicacies above.

At this moment, Ah Fu, the old man's coachman, came back.

"Third Master, I'm awake now. It's not a big deal. I gave you the money to solve it."

"As long as the matter is settled, that's fine."

The old man nodded, and then saw the empty plate on the table, and found out in embarrassment that he and the young man in purple were eager to eat for the sake of delicious food, so they actually forgot about Ah Fu and didn't leave any food left.

"Third Master, when I sent that little brother to the hospital, Ah Fu had already eaten, and he can leave here at any time."

After that, the old man straightened his clothes, stood up, and said to Li Chu: "Brother, how much does this lunch meal cost?"

When it came to money, Li Chu came over with a smile and calculated the price for the old man.

"You have a total of six dishes and two bowls of rice. The first dish is called: Braised Winter Melon, priced at 200 renminbi, the second dish is boiled pork slices, priced at 320 renminbi, and the third dish is fried pork with chili, priced at 360 renminbi 60 Wen, the fourth dish is stir-fried spinach, 330 Wen, the fifth dish is soup, lean meat, egg and ham sausage, priced at 400 Wen, and the last dish is fish-flavored shredded pork, which is the most expensive dish, priced at [-] Wen.

Plus two bowls of rice for 50 Wen, the final total is: 180 Wen for two more. "

wow...

Two more than 180 texts!
The neighbors who were watching on the street blew up their nests again, this time it was even worse, they heard it right, they just ate six dishes randomly, and it cost 180 yuan more for two...

Brother Chu, even though he is a foreigner, it is too unkind to deliberately blackmail him like this.

As mentioned before, a young and strong labor force can only earn more than 30 yuan a day to do hard work. You just move a spoon casually and get such a high salary, which is worth two months of work!
"Two guan is 180 more, I guess the old man will never give it."

"I think so too. Look at that young gentleman standing aside. He looks like he came from a wealthy family. He is definitely not easy to mess with. How could Brother Chu be so foolish? It's not like he can offend him just because of his posture." Come on, it’s 180 extra for two rounds, my God.”

"How could it be possible? I know that old man. He often runs on this line. He seems to be a big drug dealer in Gyeonggi Province. He is not someone to be trifled with."

"Xiao Chu is the same. He can't do business well, but he still wants to do what he does now. Today, this matter is at stake."

In the crowd, someone whispered.

Meat-flavored shredded pork, boiled sliced ​​pork, fried pork with chili, braised wax gourd...

The name is vivid and mouth-watering, and the price is only 180 yuan for two. The old man was greatly surprised. You know, the private courtyard is not something that ordinary people can enter and enjoy, even if you Even if you don't have the opportunity and connections to give a hundred gold, it won't work.

Today, I have to thank the little brother who hit the carriage. If it weren't for him, the old man would not have found this place.

Before the old man could speak, Ah Fu stood up angrily.

"Two guan more is 180 Wen. Are you mistaken? You are robbing, it's just six dishes. For a small restaurant like yours, 200 Wen is already a lot. How dare you shout "Two guan more".

Ah Fu was so angry that he came from behind and didn’t know what happened in front of him. He only saw six dishes on the table, and such small street restaurants were all cheap. He couldn’t imagine I understand why the third master ate here today.

And this one in front of him, looks extraordinary, but he didn't expect to be a treacherous and greedy sycophant in his heart.

Ha ha, two hundred texts?

Li Chu despised the handlebars with a look of disdain.

Turning his head, he looked at the old man calmly.

At the same time, the old man's face was displeased, and his dignified voice sounded, reprimanding Ah Fu.

"Nonsense, Ah Fu, come back!"

The old man stepped forward, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.

"This is five taels. The taste of these six dishes is much higher than the price set by the little brother. It seems that the little brother opened today, so the remaining money can be regarded as a congratulatory gift."

The old man's tone was very polite, with a smile on his face.

For five taels of silver, you can eat such a delicious and rare dish, which is actually a big profit. Since the little brother of the shop has already set the price, he can't raise it up.

Five taels!

There was no reaction from Li Chu's side, and the crowd of onlookers immediately exploded again, and the noise was extremely loud.

Many people were completely dumbfounded.

Has the world changed?
The black heart here has charged a sky-high price.

The people over there were stupid. Not only did they agree to the price, they also took the initiative to double the price.

I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such a stupid person, but if it was someone else, others would have laughed out loud, but for this old man, someone in the crowd has already said that this is Chen Sanye from Gyeonggi Province is a big drug dealer who is not easy to mess with.

You think they are doing stupid things, maybe they are still laughing at your lack of vision.

Mr. Chen is such a prominent figure, and he is still engaged in business. If you want to say that his head is rusted, it is absolutely impossible, unless Mr. Chen is really willing.

Pop, pop, pop!
The faces of those who said that Mr. Chen would be angry or that he would not give money were hot and embarrassed. At the same time, they were also very envious of Li Chu.

This person is more annoying than others.

If it were them, let alone two dollars, they would have to be careful with even half a dollar for fear of offending the customer. This was good for Li Chu, and a lion opened his mouth, but not only did he not object, but he even took the initiative to increase the price. .

Has the world changed?
No, some discerning people were deep in thought. They were thinking about another question.

Is this Chu Geer's dish really so delicious?
"Third Master, you, this..."

Ah Fu, who was standing next to him, was also dumbfounded. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.Naturally, the Third Master had his own considerations when doing this. He was not just blindly mixing the potential energy of his little handlebar. He simply ran to the side of the carriage and checked the carriage.

The young man in purple clothes stood aside calmly, with an expression as if nothing had happened.

"Dare to ask my brother's name, and this restaurant, will it still be sold here stably in the future?"

Five taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for Chen Sanye. He is more concerned about whether he can continue to eat this kind of super food in the future. With this little brother's craftsmanship, sooner or later more people who know how to eat will discover it. I'm afraid that if I want to eat again at that time, it won't be so smooth.

"My surname is Li and my name is Chu. As for this restaurant, please rest assured. If nothing unexpected happens, it will continue to operate here in the past two years. We also welcome the elderly to come and taste it next time."

Chen Sanye got a satisfactory answer and left satisfied. When he got in the car, the old man turned around and just saw the wooden board standing on the side of the street.

The best chef in the world!
"Deserves this name!"

The young man in purple clothes, riding on a tall horse, smiled at Li Chuyi and led the carriage south.

Li Chu picked up the silver ingot from the table, the old man was generous, five taels of silver, weighing the weight, it was still that kind of pure silver, this time, it was considered too big.

Two guan is more than 180 wen. The two guan money here is Shengmo. Yiguan money is equal to 770 wen, not one thousand wen. One thousand wen is called Zuguan.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the usual amount of money was [-] Wen. By now, the usual amount of money has become [-] Wen.

But silver is different, especially if it is pure silver, one tael can be exchanged for more than usual.

Mr. Liu is generous, and Li Chu is not shy.

He casually threw the silver ingot to Axiu who was standing aside.

When Axiu received the money, she came back to her senses a little. The scene just now had left her stunned, with a dazed look on her face.
