The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

However, this beef is rare to see. Moreover, there is a dead cow on the donkey cart. Although it is not big, it is not small, at least it weighs five or six hundred catties.

"Haha, Daoist, we saw this dead cow in the West Market, so we bought it here. Don't worry, it has been registered, and no one will check it."

Jin Shui knew about this method, so he quickly explained it to Zhong Wen.

"Master Dao, take a look at this bullshit money, do you want to settle it?"

At this time, Xu Fu once again showed his temper of slamming the door.

By the way, I, Zhong Wen, didn't buy this cow, so why should I, Zhong Wen, pay for it? Besides, who knows how long the cow has been dead, although I really want to eat beef, but when you Xu Fu saw me, Zhong Wen, you wanted to eat beef. Ask for money, but there is no door.

"I have no money. The cattle you bought yourself have nothing to do with me. I don't care if you want to eat them and make them yourself."

Zhong Wen felt like he was being taken advantage of. Every time Xu Fu and Jin Shui went to the West Market to buy ingredients, they had to take some money from him.

If Zhong Wen lived in this guest house for a year or so, he would probably have to sell all his underpants.

"Master Dao, didn't you say that you have never eaten beef? We bought it for you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to West Market to buy this dead cattle."

Jin Shui stood aside, seeing that Zhong Wen was like an iron rooster at the moment, and quickly flattered him.

"You lied to me. I wanted to eat beef, but I didn't ask you to bring a whole cow here. You can pay it or not, anyway, I have no money."

After Zhong Wen finished speaking, he went directly into the guest house.

Paying, there is no door, do you really think that I, Zhong Wen, have been taken advantage of?

"Jin Shui, look, the Taoist priest doesn't want to pay, or else, you can come out, there is not much money anyway."

Xu Fu watched Zhong Wen go into the guest house, and it seemed that he really didn't want to pay, so he quickly turned to Jinshui again.

"Oh, you, you guys, okay, I'll pay, I'll pay."

Jin Shui didn't expect that he wanted to be greedy for a small gain, but he became the victim of today.

Originally, he thought that Zhong Wen would agree no matter what, but now, it can be said that he shot himself in the foot.

Live cattle cost tens of dollars, but dead cattle are worthless, and at most they are worth a few dollars.

Fortunately, Jin Shui still had some savings, otherwise, they would have had to play with this oolong.

Jinshui, who paid the money, was like the defeated rooster, with a sullen head, together with Xu Fu and the coachman, they worked hard to carry the cow into the backyard of the inn.

Zhong Wen, on the other hand, stood in the middle of the lobby with a medical book in one hand as if watching the excitement.

In fact, as for beef, Zhong Wen actually really wants to eat it.

After all, when he came to the Tang Dynasty, he had never tasted this beef once, and he had never even smelled it.

After all, in this era, the farm cattle are very precious, and you can't just kill them if you want.

If it wasn't for the cattle that died of old age or were sick, you wouldn't be able to eat any beef. Moreover, you would have to file with the government for the dead cattle. Otherwise, if you killed the cattle privately, you would be imprisoned.

However, according to Zhong Wen's estimate, those nobles and others will definitely kill cattle in private. After all, with their status and status, if they eat beef, can Li Shimin really send him to prison?

"I said, do you know how to make beef? If you don't know how to do it, you can invite me. If you cook it in water like this, it will be delicious. It's a waste."

After a lapse of half an hour, Jin Shui and Xu Fu, after removing the beef, threw the beef into the pot and began to add salt and other things to cook.

Seeing Zhong Wen standing there, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly reminded him to save the beef from being wasted.

"Master Dao, why don't you come and help us make it, how about we give you something to eat?"

This bastard, Jin Shui, now looks generous, not as stingy as before.

"If you don't need money, I can do it for you. I'm afraid that you will charge me after I eat it."

Although Zhong Wen also wanted to eat beef, he still reminded him.

It is impossible to spend money and do it yourself.

Zhong Wen didn't want to do such a loss-making business.

"No money, no money, Daoist, you do it."

Although Jin Shui is not as stingy as Xu Fu, he also knows that in recent months, he has eaten a lot of good food cooked by Zhong Wen, and even made a lot of money from Zhong Wen.

It doesn't matter if you are generous. After all, the cow weighs several hundred catties. If you really want to eat it, you will have to eat it for more than ten days.

After Zhong Wen got the response, he walked into the back kitchen.

"Xu Fu, where's the bean paste I made a few days ago? You won't steal it, will you?"

Zhong Wen saw that the beef in the pot was almost cooked, and felt that the blanching was basically no problem. After taking it out, he put it in the pot again, and was about to find the beef he made last time. The soybean paste, but found that it was gone.

"Master Dao, why do you say that about me? How could I steal bean paste? It must not be me."

While Xu Fu was burning the fire, his eyes flicked wildly, and at a glance, he knew that the bean paste must have been eaten by him.

"You're a bum, and the bean paste is so salty, it won't kill you."

Seeing Xu Fu's cautious look, Zhong Wen was really speechless.

By the way, this bean paste was originally made by Zhong Wen in his spare time, and he didn't make much at first, just to add some to the stir-fry to add some flavor.

But now, well, the soy sauce is gone, and I can only use the soy sauce I bought.

Although the bean paste bought here can be used, but the taste is far from it, it is not the kind that Zhong Wen likes at all.

Braised beef requires materials, not time.

Moreover, these materials are not available in this era, such as soy sauce.

But right now, soybean paste can only be used instead. At least, these are the only ones that can be used at present, and it is not impossible to braise beef.

And other spices are not lacking, even if they are not, they can be replaced by other Chinese herbal medicines.

When it comes to food, Zhong Wen dares to say that he is the second in the world, but no one dares to say that he is the number one.

Although I am not a cook, I have come here for thousands of years, what kind of food have I not seen?As for how to make it, although I have never done it, I have always seen what others have done. If it is really not good, I can get the taste out of it after a few more experiments.

After an hour, the stewed beef in the pot was almost ready.

"Stop the fire, hurry up and get a basin to fill it."

Zhong Wen shouted at Jin Shui.

"Master Dao, the beef you made is still delicious. The taste is really amazing."

The three of them were sitting in the lobby of the inn with the oil lamps on, eating big chunks of stewed beef, and Jin Shui was holding a big piece of stewed beef, tearing and biting, not forgetting to praise the bell arts.

"Yes, Daoist, the beef you cook is really the best in the world."

This bastard Xu Fu, at this time, has lost his eating image, and his face is so blurred that he can't tell whether it's a person or a monkey.

Beef is delicious, but don't be too greedy.

If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable.

And these two guys, after dinner, they were full of food, with big bellies, and they were shouting there.

On the other hand, Zhong Wen's belly is not so well-received.

The next day, the three continued.

However, on this day, the three of them changed their way of eating.

That is to eat hot pot.

Although, in this era, there is no such thing as hot pot or hot pot. It is good to have something to eat, not to mention beef.

However, on this day, it was not just Zhong Wen and the others, but one more person.

And this person is Li Shan.

"Xiao Daoist, with your culinary skills, if you open a restaurant, you will definitely make money."

Li Shan said to Zhong Wen while eating the beef.

"Commander Li, are you kidding me? I am a Taoist who is going to open a restaurant. If someone from the Taoist sect finds out about this, they don't know what to say about me."

Although Zhong Wen said that he didn't have much interest in opening a restaurant, if it really came time to support a family, then maybe it was really possible.

"Haha, Xiao Daoist, don't mind, it's just a joke."

Li Shan was just talking casually, he really didn't have this idea.

Speaking of Li Tai and Li Qingque at this time, after getting some dishes from Zhong Wen for his parents last time, he was praised by Li Shimin.

At this time, he was heading towards Changshoufang with a few followers.

At this moment, he was thinking about going to Huilai guest house again, and asking Zhong Wen to help him cook a meal for his parents.

Although, the dishes he got into Miyagi a few days ago went through a lot of inspection and inspection before finally being delivered to his parents.

But Li Qingque also knows that some of these dishes are best eaten freshly fried, such as fried lotus root with vegetables.

However, in this palace city, it is very difficult to ask Zhong Wen to help him cook some dishes, unless his father nods.

Half an hour later, Li Qingque and the others came to the Huilai guest house, and saw Zhong Wen and the others sitting around in the lobby, as if they were eating something delicious.

"Daozhang, I'm here to disturb you again, haha, it's a coincidence that I came here, Daozhang, what are you eating here? Huh? Beef, good stuff."

As soon as Li Qingque entered the guest house, she looked at the ingredients on the table, and saw a pot-like thing surrounded by four people, and sighed that it was a coincidence that she came here.

"So it's His Royal Highness, come on, if you haven't eaten, then let's serve together."

Zhong Wen didn't have any objections, seeing such a kid coming over, he greeted him directly.

Besides, this little kid is still a junior of his own, so he can't force him to leave. Moreover, Zhong Wen thinks that this little kid seems to be very precocious, and he speaks in a different way. Instead, I find it interesting.

Of course, Zhong Wen felt that it would be better to have a closer relationship with this son of Li Shimin than others. Maybe he could even know something about the royal family.

"Haha, thank you, Daoist."

Li Qingque didn't look outside at all, and sat down directly.

But Jin Shui got up, went to the back kitchen, brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and handed them to Li Qingque.

"Your Highness can't."

But at this time, Li Qingque's followers stopped him, as if they were afraid that the bowls and chopsticks were poisonous.

"Retire, don't worry, the Taoist priest will not poison me."

Li Qingque waved his hand, preventing his followers from continuing to speak to dissuade him.

2Chapter 16 Goodbye Assassins

The arrival of Li Qingque made others a little embarrassed, but as for Zhong Wen, it basically didn't matter.

The two of Jinshui and Xu Fu began to feel a little unnatural, and of course, so did Li Shan.

Eating at the same table with a prince is very rare, not to mention, in this era, it is more common to share meals.

Of course, this meal sharing system is limited to some officials, and the royal family is of course one of them.

It is impossible for ordinary common people to share meals. If ordinary common people share meals, it can only show that the lives of these common people are rich.

"Daoist, how do you say this way of eating?"

Li Qingque felt that sitting around eating together, and surrounded by a pot-shaped thing, was particularly novel.

"Your Highness, this is called hot pot. Everyone sits around and eats together, which looks lively."

Zhong Wen explained while eating.

"Hotpot, okay, that's how it is said, it's good to be lively."

Although Li Qingque was young, she was in a stable state, and she really wasn't pretending.

Perhaps, living in this palace for many years, seeing all kinds of people, plus reading and writing every day, that's why he developed this appearance.

In fact, Zhong Wen thinks what kind of age and what kind of things he does is in line with nature.

Hot pot, from noon, until the end of the afternoon.

Li Qingque even forgot to ask Zhong Wen to cook a few dishes for him, but after tasting the taste of this hot pot, he praised it again and again.

"Master Daoist, is this His Royal Highness just here for dinner today?"

Jin Shui looked at Li Shan and Li Qingque who left, feeling a little confused.

A prince ran to Huilai guest house just to eat hot pot, which didn't feel like Li Qingque's style.After all, Li Qingque's talent is well-known in Chang'an City.

Furthermore, Li Qingque, the prince, besides being known for his talent, never does useless things.
