[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Yin Qi calculated the time for the renovation, and told E Niang that he wanted to set the opening date of the Taotie Building on the seventh day of July.

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Qiqiao Festival, Yinqi's birthday, and the day when Khan Ama hired Eniang.

He thinks this day is very meaningful.

Xiu Min asked Qin Tianjian for him. Although it was not an auspicious day for opening a business, there was no big taboo on that day, so she agreed with him.

After setting the opening date, Yinqi decided to take Master Qi to eat all the famous Jingbang dishes in the capital, so as to have a basic understanding of the level of restaurants in the capital.

Speaking of delicious food in the capital, Yin Qi didn't need to find anyone to investigate, just ask Master Qi.

"I have worked in Zhendianxuan for several years, with food and housing included, and the monthly silver is more than a dozen taels of silver, but I don't have a cent left at the end of each month, because I went to various restaurants to eat and spent it all."

Hearing this, Chang Hai couldn't help hissing: "More than a dozen taels of silver per month, including room and board? This is comparable to the salary of a seventh-rank military officer. You are alone, and you can really eat!"

"Hey." Master Qi scratched his head naively, pretending that Chang Hai was praising him, "You are too much."

Chang Hai: "..."

Yinqi, however, approved of Master Qi's actions, "The dishes that can be recognized by you, a chef, must be really delicious. With your recommendation, we will definitely be able to try a lot of dishes less. Master Qi is awesome!"

Master Qi was highly praised, and said to himself: "Hey, it would be great if I could help the Young Master's family. My old Qi knows every family's signature dishes and really delicious and special dishes. It is definitely better than their own guys. clear!"

As they spoke, the three of them and two guards came to Tianfuju, the most expensive restaurant on Zhengyang Street.

As soon as he entered the store, Yinqi was stunned, "Does Tianfuju still sell breakfast?"

Master Qi: "No, the door will only open at the end of the hour."

Chang Hai said with emotion: "That business is a bit good."

Calculated according to Western time, Tianfuju didn't open until after ten o'clock, and it's only eleven o'clock now, but the lobby of the store is almost full.

After asking, the private room was reserved and there were only two vacant rooms left, and they were the smallest two.

Chang Hai refused to accept and did not want to wrong Yinqi, but Yinqi didn't mind, so he asked for a private room and asked Master Qi to order.

Master Qi skillfully reported a long list of dishes, Xiaoer heard this, and said with a smile: "You are a regular customer, and the dishes you reported are all the best dishes in our restaurant. Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, but I didn't." recognized you as..."

"Hey." Master Qi just scratched his head with a silly smile.In the past, when he came by himself, he was always in the lobby, and he only dared to order one or two dishes, and he couldn't get the waiter in the private room to entertain him.

Chang Hai rewarded Xiao Er with one dollar and five taels of silver, "Remember to serve the best dishes to the master."

Xiaoer was ecstatic, "Come here, come here! I'll make arrangements for you first!"

Yin Qi tilted his head and asked, "Is this a tip?"

"Yes?"

"Do you want to give so much?"

Master Qi looked so heartbroken that he could almost buy the delicious food they ordered.It's more like, he used to eat ten days' worth of money.

"Usually not," Chang Haidao said, "However, since there are so many customers in this restaurant, it is certain that not every dish is from every chef's specialty, but it is different if I give benefits. At least it can About half."

"Tsk." Yin Qi pursed his lips, obviously he didn't expect such twists and turns, he thought that he would definitely be able to eat the best dishes in every restaurant.

However, after thinking about it, he also needs to understand the public recognition level of each store, and he is relieved.

Chang Hai understood his displeasure, and immediately said: "It's not impossible to want every dish to be of the highest standard in the restaurant. Let's make an appointment in advance, spend money, or show your identity, whatever."

Yinqi thought for a while, "After trying the level recognized by the public, then decide whether to try the highest level."

Five taels of silver really has a miraculous effect. Not only are the dishes served quickly, but the dishes also have a high-grade sense of color, fragrance and taste.

"Let's sit down and eat together." Yin Qi greeted the two guards and Master Qi.

None of the three dared.

Yinqi: "I also need your feelings after tasting as a reference. There are many people and strength is great. I order you to sit down!"

After the three of them saluted and sat down, Yin Qi smiled and raised his chopsticks.

Among the signature dishes of this restaurant, there is a dish that Yin Qi will have: shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

So the first dish he tasted was the shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

The sauce has a strong taste, and it can be seen that the heat and the selection of sauce materials are very good.

But Yin Qi picked up a chopstick and chewed the shredded meat twice, and Yin Qi frowned slightly.

The meat is fresh and good, and the most suitable part is taken. The knife skill of shredding is also reflected very well. The meat is fresh and tender, which shows that the heat and timing are well grasped.

But this sauce...

First of all it's too sweet!In order to neutralize the sweetness, a large amount of salt was added, and the sugar and salt content exceeded the standard, which not only made Yinqi feel unpalatable, but also unhealthy.

Secondly, the bacon uses less egg white, cooking wine and white pepper than Yinqi, uses too much starch, and uses less cooking wine to cook the sauce.

In the end, too much oil, plus heavy sugar and salt, made Yin Qi feel like a mess!

He stopped eating after two bites.

At this time, the little chef also gave a score: 65 points, full of color and taste, and 5 points away from being popular.

But Yinqi looked up, and everyone followed him to try the shredded pork with Beijing sauce, but they all showed approval and satisfaction.

Except for Master Qi who has eaten his shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

Master Qi seemed to be still savoring carefully, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "It's strange, I used to eat the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and thought it was delicious, but now I find it's a lot worse because it's not the same chef. Do, or..."

He was talking to himself and looked at Yinqi, meeting his lovely smile.

"How is it, Master Qi?"

"As far as this dish is concerned, it is far inferior to the craftsmanship of Shaodong's family."

Because there was no traditional apprenticeship ceremony, the two still called each other 'Master Qi' and 'Shaodongjia'.

Yinqi nodded, "I think so too."

The other three: "..." Really?

Just thinking about it, Yin Qi looked at them, "What do you think?"

Chang Hai: "I've never eaten Wuye's, but to be honest, this dish is already the best shredded pork with Beijing sauce I've ever eaten. And after eating it, I want to eat it again. I feel like I won't be able to eat more Tired of that."

What the two guards said had more or less the same meaning as Chang Hai.

Then, the three of them saw Yinqi and Master Qi looking at them with pity.

Three people: "???"

Chang Hai: "What does this look mean? Are we wrong?"

Yin Qi was serious, "You are just expressing your true inner thoughts, there is no such thing as right or wrong."

Chang Hai: "Why are you looking at me like a countryman?"

This description... Although there is a deviation, but it seems strangely a little bit appropriate, why is it?

Yinqi didn't mean to look down on others, he just felt that there are such delicious shredded pork in Beijing sauce in this world, but the three people in front of him, and other people in this world, all regarded this not-so-good shredded pork in Beijing sauce He regarded it as a top grade, which made him feel a little sympathetic.

It's decided, he wants more people to eat the really delicious shredded pork with Beijing sauce!

Yin Qi continued to try other Beijing dishes, and recorded his experience and experience of each dish in a small notebook while eating, and other people who watched them felt a sense of admiration.

Yinqi is really serious about cooking food!

Master Qi suddenly felt guilty. He actually didn't know many words, so he didn't even think of taking notes.

After seeing Yinqi's move, he silently decided to add literacy and note-taking to his daily tasks.

In this way, the group of five spent more than ten days trying the signature dishes and famous dishes of restaurants in and out of the capital, and even went to temples to try the famous Vegetarian dishes.

The notebooks of Yinqi and Master Qi are particularly thick, and both of them feel that they have gained a lot.

Chang Hai and the two elder guards touched their bellies, and all three of them felt fat.

On the way to send Yinqi back to the palace, Chang Hai paralyzed in the carriage without giving up.

"It's finally over! If I continue to eat, can I still find a wife?"

Yinqi glanced at him, "Come on, uncle, I think you have the most fun eating!"

Chang Hai patted his stomach, "I'm wronged. In order to show my determination to lose weight, I've decided not to hang out with you from tomorrow on!"

Yin Qi chuckled, "You should take advantage of these few days to lose weight, and when my gluttonous restaurant opens, you will have to eat again."

Chang Hai believed it in his heart, but in order to tease Yin Qi, he acted nonchalantly: "Oh."

Yinqi was really angry with him, "Hmph!"

Chang Hai followed Yinqi back to Kunning Palace, saying that he had something to report to the Queen.Originally, he could come back tomorrow, but in order to show his determination not to see Yinqi and not be tempted by him, he decided to get things done today and start to control his diet and practice martial arts tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, this 'surprise' actually caused him to see a beauty in the queen's place! ! !

Seeing Cao Lan standing next to the queen, Chang Hai's eyes straightened!

Seeing this, Xiu Min raised her eyebrows slightly, and let Cao Lan go down.

Cao Lan was stared at by a man, she didn't feel shy, she just felt uncomfortable and left quickly.

Chang Hai's eyes followed her back, looking at the place where her figure disappeared, and couldn't take it back for a long time...

Until she was shaken twice by Yin Qi: "Uncle, Er Niang called you."

Only then did Chang Hai come back to his senses, and then asked Xiu Min with a silly smile: "Sister, who is that?"

Xiu Min lowered her face: "No matter who it is, she is still in the palace, she is the emperor's woman, if your expression just now was seen by outsiders, it would be enough to chop off your head several times!"

Chang Hai was brought back to his senses by her cold tone, his face turned pale, and he kowtowed to Xiu Min: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your reminder, the grass people are convicted!"

"Let's do it, pay attention in the future, and sit down."

Only then did Chang Hai heave a sigh of relief, and sat down on a stool with weak legs.

But Xiu Min said: "I see you, it's better to let Er Niang settle your marriage as soon as possible, and you'll be at ease once you're married."

Speaking of this, Chang Hai resolutely refused: "No, I don't want to marry a woman I don't like!"

Xiu Min was angry that he had an elm head, pointed at him and said to Yin Qi: "Look, it's just your second uncle who is so bearish, and you still want to find a peerless beauty who can admire him?"

Unexpectedly, Yinqi Yizheng retorted: "Emiang, don't talk about my second uncle, I don't allow you to talk about my second uncle..."

Chang Hai was stunned for a moment, didn't expect that Yin Qi would defend him at this time?

So impressed!

In the next second, Yin Qi just continued what he hadn't finished speaking.

"...Why don't you look at your second brother, he is still wanting to eat swan meat!"

Chang Hai: "???"
