Wang Baochuan, the foodie of time travel

Li Feibai's conjecture was not wrong. Xu Deming knew about this matter, but it was inconvenient for others to know.And the emperor must not know, otherwise Xu Deming can answer confidently.

Nowadays, there is a certain amount of royal tribute in the capital every day, and some come from the capital and some places.If many of these materials come from Fangzhong and the two cities, where do the rest of the materials go?

Li Feibai didn't ask any more questions. He believed that this question was enough to make Xu Deming alert and restrain himself. Before Xu Deming could answer, Li Feibai easily took the topic away.

After coming out of the palace, he met Ji Haoya who was riding slowly on Zhuque Avenue. The two went to drink together. Seeing the wine, Li Feibai smiled again. Thinking of Wang Baochuan last night, his expression couldn't help but relax. The scene I saw in the market just now was also temporarily suppressed.

"What made you smile so much, uh, spring is full of it?" Ji Haoya braked in time before the word "spring" came out, and replaced it with a word that would not be beaten.

Li Feibai squinted at him, his expression was not as cold as usual, which surprised Ji Haoya.

"How do you understand?" Li Fei smiled and took a sip of Sangluo wine.

It's nearly September, and the wine is mulberry off, and the chrysanthemums are admiring and listening to the wind. This taste has a special style.

But Ji Haoya felt that he had already entered the winter, and said dejectedly, "That old guy Wang Yun is very arrogant recently, are you really not coming back to punish him?"

Li Feibai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

Ji Haoya poured the wine and complained to him, "His newly elected Minister of Rites doesn't even know what "Zhou Li" is. It is said that he is a cousin from afar. He was also appointed by Ming Jing Ke back then. Now The same is true of the officials, who don't know anything about exams, only know how to accept gifts. A few days ago, Xiliang was ready to move, and repeatedly harassed outside Yangguan, but Wang Yun recommended his two sons-in-law, Su Long and Wei Hu, to be the first rank The General Hussars and the Second Rank Fuguo General went out in command to patrol the frontiers, but Su Long and Wei Hu hadn't even won the martial arts exam, so how could they lead troops to fight? Isn't this a joke? But the emperor actually listened to him and Xu Deming A few senior ministers recommended me, and I actually accepted it."

"You didn't object?" Li Feibai felt that Ji Haoya definitely didn't. Although he asked this question, he was very sure about Ji Haoya's temper.

Sure enough, after Ji Haoya drank all the wine in the glass, he said sullenly, "How can I object, not to mention that they are relying on you not in the court to form cliques for personal gain, and no one dares to say more."

Li Feibai sneered, playing with the wine glass in his hand, Ji Haoya said, "I have to suspect now that Wang Yun deliberately let his third daughter escape from marriage in order to seduce you, without you to fight against him, he would be even more daring gone."

"Haha, you overestimate that old man." Li Feibai laughed out loud after hearing his doubts.

Ji Haoya asked strangely, "Don't you really trust that woman that much? I think this matter is very suspicious, don't you? And do you think there is any eldest lady who is still doing business after being kicked out, and now she is doing more and more prosperously?" Now, isn't that weird?"

Shaking his index finger, Li Feibai disagreed, "That's because you don't understand her." Speaking of Wang Baochuan, he felt that the wine in his mouth became sweeter, thinking of her flushed cheeks, white skin, and his tenderness last night. My heart started to burn again.

"I think you're too hungry." Ji Haoya's words were very direct, which drew Li Feibai's eyes. He grabbed the jug and filled it up, and said, "I think you're too lonely."

After the two drank the wine and ate fruit and cheese, Li Feibai suddenly missed Wang Baochuan's craftsmanship. Those complex textures and flavors left an aftertaste in his mouth. Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to go home.

Ji Haoya couldn't wait to see Li Feibai, who was so worthless now, and thought of going back to face the stack of official documents soon, he really wanted to continue lying down, eating fruit and drinking, and he didn't want to go back to Ziwei Pavilion to work at all.

When Li Feibai returned home, Wang Baochuan's Shaoxing was out of the basket, and there was a long line of people gathered in front of the door.Wang Baochuan was packing siomai for them one by one, collecting money, and was very busy.

Rolling up his sleeves, Li Feibai pulled Wang Baochuan behind him, and took over the work from her with a smile.

Wang Baochuan wiped his sweat, and said to Li Feibai with a sigh of relief, "You are back, I am really busy when you are not here."

These words made Li Feibai as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, while Wang Baochuan stood and rested with a smile on his hands.

Many of the people queuing up were acquaintances, and they greeted Wang and Li one after another. Although Li Feibai had a serious expression, he was handsome in appearance and neat in his movements. Many ladies came here because of his reputation.

Several people were even envious of the harmonious appearance of the two of them, which made Wang Baochuan a little embarrassed, but then he thought, she and Li Feibai are just a fake couple, how could he have the idea of ​​having such a little daughter?

Looking at Li Feibai suspiciously, but seeing his calm expression, Wang Baochuan became more and more ashamed of his petty thoughts.

At this moment, an old man came up to buy twenty siu mai, but the second basket hadn't been steamed yet, so he had to wait. It’s a long way from Yangfang, but the siu mai in our workshop doesn’t taste good at all. Really, my little man still likes to eat yours, so I can only come all the way here purchase."

Many people echoed the old man’s words. At this time, a little boy about fourteen or fifteen years old also came up and said, “Really, I also make steamed cakes. I did it, but it doesn’t look like it. I don’t know if this lady will accept an apprentice. I want to learn from you. Originally, I actually planned to buy one that stole my teacher, but I tried it several times, but I still can’t do it. Come out with that smell."

The young man lowered his head, with a frustrated expression, obviously unable to understand why the same shape has different flavors.

Wang Baochuan and Li Feibai looked at each other, winked, and asked him in a low voice, "What should I do if I want to take an apprentice?"

Seeing something interesting, the young man quickly looked up at Wang Baochuan with shining eyes, with sincerity and hope on his face, as if it would be cruel to reject him.

Li Feibai said, "Isn't there a shortage of manpower in the restaurant you want to open? If you think he is clever, you can ask him to help you in the food shop. He will learn the craft and work for you at the same time. How about the monthly payment?" ?”

The young man nodded hurriedly. Wang Baochuan thought it was a good idea, so he asked the young man, "The monthly salary may not be very high, but if you are hired by me, you can leave after you have finished your studies. Are you willing? "

"Yes, yes, yes!" The young man nodded desperately, Wang Baochuan smiled, and said, "Then you are ready to prepare. The restaurant will open in two months after the preliminary decision. You can come to my place to help every day for a while, and I will give you monthly money as usual. How much is a month?" Wang Baochuan really didn't understand the prices in the Tang Dynasty, so he looked at Li Feibai again.

Li Feibai said, "Since you are an apprentice, the monthly fee can be set higher, [-] Wen a month, how about it?"

The young man was very satisfied with the price, and hurriedly said hello. Everything was settled. The young man knelt down and kowtowed, and said respectfully, "Master and Master, I will be respected by my disciple."

Li Feibai was very satisfied with the title of Shigong, and the people around were amused by the young man's clever appearance, and some people applauded, a basket of siu mai was steamed and sold out immediately.

Wang Baochuan wrapped two and said to the young man, "Disciple, what's your name?"

"Shizhou, the commander of the command, the boat of the boat." The young man answered fluently, held the shumai in his hand, ate it carefully, then opened it to look at the shiitake mushrooms inside, and kept chewing in his mouth. Frowning.

Wang Baochuan laughed at his pedantic appearance, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Si Zhou, come in, and I'll tell you how to make siu mai."

Li Feibai glanced at Sizhou's shoulder out of the corner of his eye, and continued to sell siomai calmly, but why was he so upset?

After coughing, Wang Baochuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing how she cared about him, Li Feibai finally smiled and said, "It's nothing, there are more people to help you work, so you don't have to work so hard."

The aunt who was paying the money heard this and said repeatedly, "This young gentleman knows how to love his wife, that's really good." Others nodded in agreement, and Si Zhou also echoed before he entered the backyard, "Yes, master is really lucky Well, Master is really considerate to Master.

Li Feibai's subordinates sped up the speed even more, because this sentence was particularly pleasing to the eyes even when looking at Si Zhou, and they secretly made up their minds that if Wang Baochuan called his apprentice again in the future, he would definitely not accept him as a master. Okay, let's make this decision up.

Wang Baochuan instructed Sizhou in the backyard, including how to wash, soak glutinous rice, chop minced meat, roll dough, etc. With Sizhou, there is indeed a young and strong labor force, and the work speed is also faster. A lot, 200 more siu mai were sold on this day than usual.

But in terms of taste, it is said that the noodles kneaded by Wang Baochuan are better, but the taste is similar. After all, in the era of pure handmade in the Tang Dynasty, it is very difficult to keep the quality of the items. After all, even if it is modern, Food is also divided into seasons and batches, so buyers don't care too much.

When Sizhou was making siu mai, Wang Baochuan turned up the idea that she had thought before. If she helped teach others how to make siu mai, and introduced a new variety of dim sum every season, just like chain stores, wouldn’t it be possible to pass In this way, how about opening a franchise store to collect money?

Thinking of the copycat siu mai I ate in the West Market before, if she is willing to help others improve, and charge a little fee, both parties can benefit, isn't it a win-win situation?

After contacting the uncle today, Wang Baochuan felt that the plan that was originally planned to be postponed until after the restaurant opened could obviously be carried out in advance.
