The reason why Han Ning is so sure is actually based on observations and conclusions from some clues in the past, whether it is from the precise seasoning technique to the slightest, or the poisonous weed mixed in the shepherd's purse just by his nose last time, The discovery of the villain who framed him, coupled with the miraculous identification of Huazi this time, all prove that Mr. Xie is indeed different from ordinary people in terms of five senses.

Hearing his analysis, Fu You couldn't help admiring Xie Shi even more, and Fu Xiaopang's brain hole was also different from ordinary people, and soon he discovered the Huadian, and said strangely: "Han Ning, why are you more thankful than me?" Mister's number one fan still needs to be observant?"

Han Ning glanced at him and said nothing. Fortunately, Song Yan's next question quickly diverted Fu Yu's focus, so that the little cool brother Han Ning didn't collapse his personality.

"Fans are food, so what is Mr. Xie's number one fan?"

When Fu You heard it, he became excited. He had heard this word from Mr. Xie by chance.Xie Shi casually mentioned it at the time, which attracted the curious Fu Yu to ask him again and again. Xie Shi had to tell him that the meaning of "fan" is equivalent to admirer.Fu Yudang even learned and applied it flexibly, and praised Xie Shi: "I really like the fan pot made by Mr. Xie. Of course, I like everything Mr. Xie does, so I must be Mr. Xie's number one fan!"

Xie Shi almost laughed out loud immediately, fans can still understand this way, why does it feel like it is right, and it seems that something is wrong.

But Fu Yu didn't know what Xie Shi was muttering at the time, and he looked very familiar with the word "fan" with Song Yan's kid Amway, and invited him to be Mr. Xie's fan together.The child Song Yan nodded half-understood, and boasted obediently: "Mr. Xie Yi Ya is alive, and the food he cooks is not only delicious, but also feels very comfortable after eating."

Hearing this, not only did Fu Yu praise Song Fan as if he had found a bosom friend, and threatened to make him the number two fan, even Han Ning looked at him in surprise, thinking, the little kid is not only lucky, but also perceives Also very sharp.

The protagonist Xie Shi, who was mentioned repeatedly, was fortunate to be in the back kitchen of the cafeteria at this time, and the stove was very warm, so he didn't sneeze a series of times.You Sishui followed him, listened to his orders, and saw that the ingredients he brought were pig skins and trotters, so he asked, "Chef Xie, do you want to make crystal noodles?"

Crystal knuckles are no strangers to tourists in Surabaya. Every winter, there are stalls selling this stuff on the street. It is crystal clear and made of meat and meat. Many people who have little food in their stomachs like to buy it. Some are smeared with meat.

Xie Shi nodded, he was quite disappointed after tasting the crystal kueh at the temple fair that day, but he was aroused interest, it happened that the Song family and some other wealthy households who came to give thank you gifts sent pig's trotters and fat at home I couldn't finish it, so I decided to try it myself to see if I could have a real treat.However, the Xie family's pot was not big enough, so Xie Shi brought the ingredients to the cafeteria and the chef rubbed it against the stove.

The timing he found happened to be the rest time for the students after eating the morning meal. Cooking at Xie Shi is a rare opportunity to learn art aboveboard. At this meeting, almost all the cooks gathered around from far or near. Xie Shi does not have to do it himself, someone else will grab Help me out.

The production of crystal kuai is not complicated, but it takes a lot of time. After the pork is removed, the remaining pig skin and a few pairs of pig's trotters are soaked in boiling water together with green onions, ginger, and cooking wine, and then the fine hairs and fat on the surface are removed. , cut the pigskin into long strips, chop the trotters into chunks, put them in cold water and steam in a steamer for an hour.

You Sishui keenly noticed that Xie Shi deliberately changed a pot of cold water at this time, put the ingredients into it and steamed it on the stove, curiously asked what this meant, Xie Shi did not hesitate to share: "It is easier to stew with cold water Get out the gelatin in the pig's skin and trotters." This is some experience that Xie Shi learned from cooking, and others silently wrote it down in their hearts.

A new kitchen assistant was so amiable when he saw Xie Xie, and he was not stingy with teaching others. At this time, he also weakly raised the question he had been asking all along, "Then why do you pour wine in the soup?"

Xie Shi glanced at him, saw that he was not familiar with the face, so he guessed that it should be a newly recruited helper, and explained in detail: "An appropriate amount of rice wine can remove the fishy smell, and crystal sticks are big meat, but you have to do it It is the top grade until there is no fishy smell, and it is very important to remove the fishy smell. In addition to the cooking wine, when the stew is almost done, you have to add white pepper to remove the fishy smell again." Speaking of this, Xie Shi also cited some other meaty smells such as The cooking assistant who asked the question nodded repeatedly as to how to prepare the fish, and was flattered to see him go to instruct the person next to him on the seasoning.

It is really simple to say that it is simple, but in order for the final product to appear crystal clear, it must be filtered many times to remove impurities in the broth until the bottom of the soup is clear without a trace of turbidity, so it takes a lot of time and effort. This is also the biggest reason why Xie Shi didn't plan to put this dish in the cafeteria menu, but it's fun to make it occasionally to satisfy your cravings.

The small vendors selling in the market outside are not paying attention to removing the fishy smell and impurities. This is generally the case, but Xie Shi's method is more particular. After an hour, he takes out the pig's trotters, removes the bones and cuts them into silver wires. After the pigskin in the pot has completely melted, these silver-threaded pig's trotters are put into it for decoration, and the strands are like frost flowers.

At this time, stew for half an hour and then pour it into a white porcelain plate, and wait for it to cool slowly.In the winter temperature, the broth will completely solidify into skin jelly within half a day.Xie Shi is the broth that is cooked in the morning, and it can be sliced ​​and packaged after dinner, which shows the time-consuming nature of crystal kueh.

At this time, it is necessary to cut the skin jelly into thin slices like cutting fish. The skin jelly is like jelly, transparent and clean, and the solidified pig's trotters are embellished like frost flowers, like amber, extremely elegant.If it is monotonous to eat thin slices dry, then it needs to be carefully seasoned with salt, vinegar, mustard and pepper oil to make a wonderful dish.

When thanking, I took a slice with chopsticks and put it in my mouth. I just felt that the jelly was tender and insoluble. But that's it.Xie Shi made a lot, and everyone shared a few slices to taste, and everyone was full of praise.

"As expected of Chef Xie, if I didn't know from the beginning that this is made of crystal kueh, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to taste it at all. Sure enough, after Chef Xie's hands, the taste of anything will go up a few steps."

So delicious, the first reaction when thanking you is to share it with your friends.Mei Linzhai, Han Ji, who was discussing with several generals under his seat to send troops to take Fuzhou, received food from someone again.

All the generals were silent, they all looked at their lord in unison, some of the generals who had just brought troops from Fuzhou were still wondering in their hearts, who is this Mr. Xie, could it be the lord's new male favourite?Otherwise, how can I send food to the Lord...

Han Ji, who was sitting at the head, said naturally: "The discussion is suspended, please have some refreshments first."

…………

"It seems that I, Cen, came at the right time. I met Chef Xie who cooks in person, and I have a good fortune." There was a laughing teaser at the door of the back kitchen. Xie Shi raised his eyes and said, It turned out to be Cen Gu'an who I hadn't seen for a long time.Xie Shi washed his hands, asked someone to bring over a plate of condensed crystal noodles and some other food, and then he and Cen Yu went to the nearby Qingfeng Pavilion to discuss matters.

Coming out of the warm back kitchen, I shivered when the steep mountain wind blows, and I miss my wool cape that can be used as a cape and a blanket.As soon as Xie Shi entered the room, he sat down and started to make hot tea, while casually asking Cen Yu who was sitting with him: "Why do busy people come to my place when you have time?"

Cen Yu is addicted to eating crystal kueh at the moment, one bite at a time, as soon as he ate it, it was ice-cold, and without chewing a few times, it turned into a golden paste and melted into his throat. He said with a smile: "Isn't this finally the end of my work, come to report to our boss Xie about the progress. Who would have thought that when I came back, I heard about your bravery in saving Mr. Song's child at the temple fair a few days ago." Deeds, now the rich merchants in the county whose children were almost kidnapped are spreading your deeds everywhere, and only need to build a memorial archway for you, Tanwei is really well-known now."

Xie Shi deliberately said: "Could it be that I wasn't famous before? I heard that someone called Xie Pan'an by the nickname before meeting me. Bazhen Pavilion's delicious tea cakes and desserts were hidden from me. A name called Xie Meiren."

Cen Yu was exposed, so he quickly changed the subject, "Is it because Panda'er betrayed me? I know that now he is befriending you all day long for some food. The key is that he doesn't give any food to him Master, this is really annoying!"

Seeing that Xie Shi didn't agree with each other, Cen Yu angrily said a few words about his family's increasingly fat boy, and then changed his serious appearance, and thanked Xie Shi solemnly.

When I thanked him, I somehow got a thank you from him, and said strangely, "Why are you thanking me?"

Cen Yu looked serious, obviously very serious, "Naturally, I would like to thank Tanwei for saving the youngest son of the Song family, otherwise, we just recruited Mr. Qianxi into the battle, but we lost the rest on our own territory in a few days." Dear son, although we did not cause it, I am afraid that we will have to give up in the future. So I said Tanwei, you are the lucky star of the Lord."

Xie Shi didn't expect that there was such a layer of influence, but thinking about the assumption in Cen Yu's mouth, it is not unreasonable. Whoever changes it, I am afraid that he will not be able to be unconcerned, and I am afraid that the rest of his life will be spent in regret, so I have no intention In the meantime, he actually helped Brother Ji, Xie Shi thought about it and was quite happy, so he didn't care about Cen Yu's teasing just now.

The two soon got down to business, and Cen Yu said that he would report the progress while thanking him, not joking, but a real thing.Previously, Xie Shi came up with Fang Zi and Han Ji to build a cement workshop in cooperation. Xie Shi and Cen Yu agreed that if the cement produced is used for many occasions such as road paving and repair in Le County, he does not need to pay him remuneration. The cement is used for export, and the profit is only [-] to [-]%. Later, Han Ji changed the first case of self-use to paying Xie Shi [-]% of the cement cost.

Cen Yu first handed him the account book of the cement workshop for the past two months, and asked him to look at it first. Xie Shi flipped through it, but he didn't read it too carefully, but was first surprised by the profit. He asked suspiciously: "What is the profit of the cement workshop?" How could it be so high?" As far as he knows, the cement produced by this cement workshop is actually for his own use, and he has to pay an extra [-]% of Xie Shifangzi's remuneration, so is it possible that someone else buys cement?

Cen Yu smiled mysteriously, "Tanwei, you have been staying in the academy for a while, of course you don't know, but now our cement has become a hot seller in Le County, and there are even many businessmen from other counties asking for it. The supply is completely in short supply, and I am afraid that after a while, more businessmen who have heard the news will come."

But it turned out that at the beginning, it was the wealthy households in Le County who saw that the city walls and towers repaired by Han Ji ordered people to be extremely solid, especially the cement road, which was as hard as bluestone and smoother than bluestone, even if it rained. The ground was covered with mud, and the carriages walked on it like walking on flat ground, so they came to Cen Yu one after another, wanting to buy cement.

Even better, the price of Cen Yuding's cement is neither high nor low, just within the psychological expectations of these wealthy households, and it will not be higher than the price of repairing bluestone roads and green brick mansions, and it will not be sold at a low price. Therefore, even many rich households placed large orders to the cement workshop, planning to repair their own houses and farms.Cen Yu also publicized that cement production is not easy, that the first to place an order will be the first to supply the goods, and when others hear it, it will be fine, for fear that they will be preempted by others, and many people are rushing to send money to Cen Yu, wanting to be the first Time to live in this cement house that is said to be airtight and warm in winter.

Cen Yu is worthy of being a well-known big businessman in Fuzhou, and his service is very considerate. The price he offered also included the construction team. In this way, they not only earned two sets of money, but also arranged new jobs for the refugees who had nothing to do after the completion of the city walls and roads. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Later, the benefits of this cement road were spread by businessmen traveling from north to south, which caused another wave of panic buying. Now, if businessmen from other places want to order cement, they have to pay a deposit first, take the number in line, and take turns. When you arrive at the corresponding number, you can get the goods by the number.

Xie Shi was stunned by this series of operations, and was willing to bow down. Look at him, this is the one with the golden finger!A small piece of cement can still be played as a real estate contractor and pre-sale tricks. In contrast, I, a real time-traveling person, is simply a salty fish.

Cen Yu didn't think there was anything to brag about, so he handed him the account book of Bazhen Pavilion, "Look at this book again, the toiletry set and winter fruit box we launched before also made a lot of money, but the fruit box Because of the inconvenience of storage, it can only be sold locally in Le County, which is a pity, but it is cheaper for those second-hand dealers who buy it for others."

In response to this matter, Xie Shi was also very helpless, "Now the white case cooks in the canteen of the academy are all taught by me and Wu Chef, and there is no way to increase the manpower in a short time. If I want to send out, I can't bear it. If you want to If I want to open another pastry supply shop, you should help me choose some talented cooks." Cen Yu had no choice but to give up, in order to ensure the taste of pastries, he couldn't expand blindly, so as not to damage the signboard of Bazhen Pavilion.

Cen Yu also shared a piece of gossip in the palace with Xie Shi, "You know, all the ladies in the palace are using our essential oils and washing products. The day before yesterday, the steward of the noble concubine's natal family came to me specially. , I placed a large order, and I would like to thank that Yu Fu Yin for his insatiable greed."

Xie Shi was puzzled, how did these two things come together, and hearing what Cen Gu'an said, there was a sense of a blessing in disguise.

But it turns out that the state officials in this area need to make offerings to the nobles in the palace at the end of each year. There are layers of bribes and corruption, ranging from local products to gold and silver treasures. As for where do these tributes come from?Of course, it was exploited from the hands of the common people. It is conceivable how deep the grievances of the people have accumulated, so that every time someone revolts, there will be hundreds of thousands to millions of people responding.

As a big businessman in Fuzhou, Cen Yu is a cash cow in the eyes of these local officials. Whenever this happens, he will inevitably bleed heavily.In the past, Cen Yu used to spend money to buy cleanliness in order not to scare the snakes. Now that the lord has decided to start a riot, Cen Yu is not willing to be taken advantage of by him. Moreover, this dog official is becoming more and more greedy, asking for so much property. Cen Yu saw it , They stuffed a lot of their own products as a pretense.

Unexpectedly, after these things were offered to the palace, they won the favor of the empress in the palace. The concubine who first used these essential oils and washing products was originally a little transparent who had been neglected by the emperor for a long time. She won the title of Fragrant Concubine and regained her favor.The other concubines who heard the news were not far behind. In order to compete for favor, they opened the gift list one after another. Sure enough, there was a gift box of Jinfeng Yulu essential oil and a gift box of Qianhua washing and washing from the governor of Fuzhou. Take out the things that are almost left unused in the warehouse.For a time, the palace was full of fragrance, and the concubines were all living as fragrant concubines.

However, the essential oils and washing products are easy to use, but the amount is too small. In addition, the amount used by these girls who want to pickle themselves into rose essence, and the frequency of washing like three meals a day, rely solely on Yufu Yin. The set of things provided for each person was not enough, and the rich and powerful imperial concubine immediately sent a message out of the palace to ask her family to go to Fuzhou to purchase directly.

Hearing that the steward of the imperial concubine's natal family placed an order of up to ten thousand taels at Cen Yu's house, Xie Shi was speechless, "This imperial concubine is too rich."

Cen Yu's expression was indifferent, and his tone was sarcasm, "For nobles like them, this is just a small amount of money. These ladies even change their clothes every time. Every year, the palace expenditure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs accounts for more than [-]% of the national tax revenue. What a shame! Extravagance. On the contrary, the people below have worked hard for a year, paid heavy taxes, and still don’t know if they can get enough food and clothing, let alone new clothes.”

The upper-class dignitaries are extremely poor and extravagant, while the lower-class people suffer unspeakably. The extreme gap between rich and poor is the fundamental reason why wars are raging all over Kyushu today, and violence will inevitably perish in the future.

If you don't turn back at this moment, what year will you wait?
