Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

The hot pot restaurant is being renovated, and it's time to order copper pots.

On this day, Shen Changjun came to the blacksmith shop of shopkeeper Wang.

"Oh, nobleman, you haven't come for a long time." Shopkeeper Wang greeted Shen Changjun enthusiastically when he saw Shen Changjun, but he also entrusted the blessing of the nobleman to make a fortune with Qu Yuanli, and So far the order has not stopped.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I have received a lot of work recently." Shen Changjun entered the shop, saw a pile of well-made Quyuanli piled up in the corner, and understood everything.

"TOEFL TOEFL, this is not all brought by you, a nobleman, so how can I thank you for this." Shopkeeper Wang smiled and wrinkled his face.

"You don't need to thank you, I have two things that you need to make." Shen Changjun took out the blueprint and handed it to Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang quickly took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it.

The first thing is a copper hot pot. There are two kinds of copper hot pots, one is a normal pot and the other is a mandarin duck pot. It is not difficult to either one. Based on the experience of shopkeeper Wang, basically you can tell at a glance.

The second thing is more difficult to understand. It is not difficult to see the dismantling diagram next to it, but it is impossible to see the way to put it together.

Shen Changjun's second drawing is a plane. It is really not difficult to take it apart and make it alone, but to assemble it together, it is not enough to just look at the drawings.

He took the blueprint and explained it to Shopkeeper Wang in detail. After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized and nodded, saying that it can be done, no problem.

Shen Changjun is not in a hurry this time, there is still half a month to go, explain the quantity of these items, agree on the time to pick up the goods, and leave.

Before leaving, Shen Changjun paid 10 taels of silver ingots as a deposit.

"Brother Lang, we got so many sheep this time, I don't know if the sheep house Dad built at home is big enough." The person who spoke was Wu Fan who promised Shen Changjun not long ago to go out to look for lambs, and the brother Lang he was talking about , Who is it if it’s not Amulang.

At this time, the two were in Bell Grassland in Caofeng County, where people lived by herding sheep. Caofeng County was on the southern border of Jindu Prefecture, far away from Fuying County. Caofeng County and Fuying County were both under the jurisdiction of Jindu Prefecture.

The Great Jin Dynasty had a total of 13 states, 143 prefectures, and 1573 counties, and there were countless villages under the counties. It can be said that the Great Jin Dynasty had a vast territory and abundant supplies.

The Great Jin Dynasty was located in the west of the entire continental plate, surrounded by many small tribes, among which the Eastern Turks were the most mysterious, the Southern Humans were the most cunning, and the Northern Huns were the most belligerent

100 years ago, the youngest daughter of the southern Human tribe married to the northern Xiongnu tribe, so the two tribes formed an alliance and established a good relationship between Qin and Jin.

At that time, the interior of the Great Jin Dynasty was very chaotic, and disasters continued year after year. The people were disheveled, begging along the streets, and there were even rebels among the people, who opposed the government and the court from time to time.

This gave the enemy an opportunity, and the Southern Human and Northern Huns took the opportunity to attack, and the Jin Dynasty was caught off guard, with corpses strewn all over the field.

At that time, there was a young hero named Bai Zhanshan in the Jin Dynasty, who was a descendant of the Bai family, a family of generals.

In the case of the Jin Dynasty being attacked by the enemy, he joined forces with the uprising army to control the enemy and finally won the victory.

So far, the Southern Human tribe and the Northern Huns had to sign a multilateral treaty with the Great Jin Dynasty. The tribe must pay tribute to the Jin Dynasty every year, such as cloth, horses and rare local products, etc.

It is stated in the treaty: When the treaty is terminated after 100 years, the current leaders of the two tribes will continue to sign the treaty.

Because of this, Bai Zhanshan became famous in the first battle, and was hailed as the God of War in the Great Jin Dynasty. He was invincible and invincible

But now, there is no one and a half daughter left in the Bai family, it is really a tearful thing to say.

100 years have passed since the 90-year treaty, and I don't know what it will look like in ten years.

Since Wu Fan and A Murang got acquainted with Shen Changjun, life has become better and better. Before the two left home, Wu Fan's father was preparing to push their house to be rebuilt. After knowing that his son would raise sheep , decided to build a sheep shed behind his house.

Their house is right at the foot of the mountain, so it will be much more convenient to herd sheep in the future

Hearing Wu Fan's question, Amulang didn't say anything, but just looked at him.

Wu Fan was a little shy when he looked at him, and his acquaintance with Amulang was an accident.

That year, Wu Fan was only 6 years old. On the way home with Father Wu, he met a dirty Amulang. Although Amulang was ten years old at that time, he looked about the same height as Wu Fan. Thin and small, unlike now, he is already so tall and straight

Sometimes Wu Fan would also wonder why he brought him home in the first place, but he still hasn't found the answer.

"Brother Lang, are we going home tomorrow?" Wu Fan asked.

Amoro nodded.

"It's great, I've been away for so long, I'm homesick, I've never been away from home for so long." Wu Fan opened his big watery eyes, which were full of attachment to home and the joy of returning home.

The corners of Amulang's mouth curled up, and there was unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

Maybe the purpose of this trip has been achieved, or maybe it's about to embark on the journey back to the city. Both of them slept well that night.

Early the next morning, Amulang and Wu Fan led the hired convoy towards Fuying County.

The door and interior of the hot pot restaurant have been renovated, and they are only waiting for the official opening on November 11. It is also a good time to ventilate the newly renovated store to remove the smell.

The storefront is mainly red, supplemented by black. The name of the store is still Exclusive Restaurant, but there is a seal in the lower left corner, which contains the word "Hot Pot" written in official script, and three characters written horizontally in the lower right corner. .

The whole store is divided into upper and lower floors, and the downstairs is the lobby, which is specially provided for individual customers.

Upstairs are boxes, and the decoration style of each box is different, some are elegant, some are luxurious, some are extravagant, in short, they can meet the preferences of different guests.

Whether the hot pot is good or not, apart from the texture of the meat, the most important thing is the soup base. To say whether a hot pot is authentic or not, it mainly depends on four steps: soup color, soup aroma, soup taste, and soup taste. It can be seen that the soup base is very important for hot pot. importance.

Shen Changjun likes to eat hot pot. When he was in modern times, it was relatively easy to eat hot pot by himself, so sometimes he would cook it at home by himself.

At the beginning, it was just boiled water, and occasionally some scallions, ginger, red dates and tomatoes were put in it to make do. It was very simple, but also very bland.

Later, I really felt that it was not very tasty, so I started to study the soup base of hot pot, especially he prefers to eat spicy soup base, so I often learn from those who know how to eat on the Internet, and try according to their methods.

He is not afraid of trouble, he has tried various methods, and over time he has summed up his own formula, which he thinks is not bad.

Although he is not as authentic as the advanced formula handed down from other people's ancestors, who can say that the formula he researched will not become another secret recipe handed down from the ancestors after a hundred years.

However, whether it can become an ancestral secret recipe is too far away and meaningless for the current Shen Changjun. The most important thing now is to find all the ingredients and create a hot pot soup base that belongs to the exclusive restaurant of the Jin Dynasty.

Shen Changjun once again stepped into Baishan Hall. There are a lot of medicinal materials here, and it is easy to find a few seasonings. He found that the Jin Dynasty is not behind in some aspects, such as medicinal materials, craftsmanship and so on.

"Brother Shen" was the only person who called him that. When he turned around, it was indeed Wu Fan and Amulang beside him.

""You are back. "Shen Changjun said happily

"Yeah, I just came back yesterday, so I came to see you as soon as I got back." Wu Fan said.

They originally planned to find someone at an exclusive restaurant, but unexpectedly they met on the way.

"Come on, let's find a teahouse, sit down and talk slowly."

Shen Changjun led them to the teahouse they went to last time, and ordered the same tea and snacks as last time.

"It's been a long time since I went out this time, so I must have gained a lot." Shen Changjun asked.

"Well, this time, Amulang and I went all the way south, and finally arrived at the Beier Grassland on the border of Jindu Prefecture, where everyone grazes, but there is nothing, just a lot of sheep." Wu Fan said excitedly, as if he was suffering on the road. When I was homesick, I shed two lines of clear tears.

Although Shen Changjun saw Wu Fan's free and easy words, how could he not know the hardships of this journey.

When he was away from home, he couldn't eat well, and couldn't sleep well. He had a deep understanding.

The waiter brought tea and snacks, and Shen Changjun filled them with tea, and pushed the saucer with snacks towards Wu Fan.

Wu Fan's eyes turned into crescents when he smiled, they were curved and very cute, he picked up a piece of snack and began to eat it in small bites.

Shen Changjun didn't urge him, and he didn't expect Amulang to talk, so he just sipped his tea and waited for Wu Fan to finish the snack in his hand.

After Wu Fan finished his snacks, he took another sip of tea, only to realize that he was greedy. His cheeks were flushed, and he smiled embarrassedly at Shen Changjun.

Shen Changjun didn't mind, he continued to ask: "How many sheep did you bring back this time?"

"We got 50 sheep, 38 lambs, 11 ewes that can give birth, and 1 breeding sheep." Wu Fan said.

Shen Changjun nodded, with this batch of lambs, everything is ready for the hot pot restaurant, just waiting for the big show.

Shen Changjun did not disappoint Wu Fan and the others. He asked the waiter in the teahouse to find a pen and paper, and began to write.

What he wrote was nothing but the prescription he promised to Wu Fan and the others

It was agreed at the beginning that he only wanted eight parts of the sheep. Which eight are they? The first is the cucumber strips. The so-called cucumber strips are the inner thighs of the lamb's hind legs.Shaped like two connected cucumbers, the meat color is light red, the meat is tender, the fat is moderate, and the taste is tender and smooth.

Then there is the one head, which belongs to the outer thigh, and the one head has a higher proportion of lean meat, and the meat is more tender.

The third part is the lamb three-fork. If it is subdivided, the sheep three-fork can be divided into the big three-fork and the small three-fork. Both are on the upper part of the leg of the lamb, but the big three-fork is in the upper part of the back. It is [-]% fat and has a fat and tender taste. , the small three-pointed foreleg is thinner than the big three-pointed.

The fourth part is the upper brain of the sheep. This part is the back of the neck meat, [-]% fat, and tender in taste. The upper brain of the sheep is called "upper brain" because it is close to the head of the sheep. The fat distribution in this part of the meat is like marble spots, and the texture is It is tender and is the favorite of many gourmets.

The fifth part is mutton tendon meat. The meat in this part is the waist meat with the ribs removed. As the saying goes, the meat in this part is the most fragrant.

The sixth part is the lamb's crotch, which is the meat at the tip of the buttocks. It is soft in texture. Because it rests on the tail of the lamb, it is the freshest and easiest to smell.

The seventh part is the lamb tenderloin, on both sides of the spine, pure and thin, with a tender taste.Just note that the meat of this part of the lamb tenderloin should not be boiled for a long time, and it is easy to use firewood after a long time.

The last part is mutton tendon meat. This part is in the lower part of the hind legs. It is pure lean meat with a crisp and tender taste. However, there is very little lamb shank meat that can be used for shabu-shabu. There are no more than three liang of one lamb. The meat taste is the most crisp and tender.

In addition to these eight parts, Shen Changjun also ordered sheep eggs and sheep guns for the barbecue shop, and Shen Changjun gave the recipe for the rest.

After finishing writing, Shen Changjun handed a few pages to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was shocked when he saw so many prescriptions. He didn't expect Brother Shen to write so many prescriptions, which really exceeded his expectations.

"Brother Shen, here," Wu Fan didn't know what to say, he looked at Amulang for help

Amulang didn't expect Shen Changjun to be so generous, but if it was Shen Changjun, it would make sense, they all treated each other with sincerity.

After getting along for such a long time, each other is very clear about what kind of person the other party is.

He is also willing to accept this kindness and return it to him at a certain time on a certain day.

"You don't need to say more. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I regard you as friends and brothers. Besides, this recipe is not given to you for free. I want to use it to exchange for the priority of buying lamb meat." Right. In other words, your lamb meat must be available to us, and you are not allowed to sell it to others until we can't eat it, how about it?" Shen Changjun said.

"Of course, none of us will sell it, so we will sell it to you." Wu Fan said anxiously.

"Well, that's good." Shen Changjun put the prescription on the table in front of Wu Fan.

Wu Fan picked it up with both hands and touched it cherishingly.

They can also have their own small shop in the future, and he will definitely manage it well, Wu Fan secretly made up his mind.

Shen Changjun asked Wu Fan and the others to kill a sheep and bring it to taste the quality of the meat.

What's the problem? Wu Fan promised to send him to the exclusive restaurant tomorrow.
