Seeing the green spinach, Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, Chinese cabbage, and coriander all over the counter, diners’ eyes turned green, their throats fluttered, and their saliva drools. They haven’t eaten green vegetables in months, let alone eating them, they feel fresh.
The diners chose a long table by the window, sat on high stools, ate vegetables, soup, and flatbread, blowing and shouting while eating.
The onlookers saw that the diners in the store were delicious, and they all walked into Chuanji Malatang.
The diet during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was not as refined as that of later generations. What are the eight major cuisines, a full feast of Man and Han.
Especially in the Guanlong area, they eat more pigs and sheep, the pigs are as thin as dogs, the meat is rough, the mutton is greasy, and they are wrapped in spices to drive away the smell.
At the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, rewarded the Han general Fan Kui with five mature pig legs. Fan Kui ate a whole pork leg, which was both dirty and greasy, before he was appreciated by Xiang Yu. The taste can be imagined. Know.
People in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had never eaten any good food heard that Chuanji Malatang was spicy, spicy, fragrant and cheap, so they went to taste it one after another.
Hundreds of seats in the store were filled quickly, and there was a long queue at the door.
The welcome guy blushed and wiped his sweat with a towel while maintaining order.
"Don't be crowded, line up, wait slowly, you can eat everything."
Xiao Chuan, Yang Guang, and Li Yuan sat at the counter, looking at the bustling crowd in the store, feeling happy.
Yang Guangdao: "Cousin, I didn't expect our store to be so prosperous. You have contributed a lot."
Li Yuan said: "Yes, I got rich this time with my two cousins."
Xiao Chuan said: "Ah, Cousin Yuan, today is the first day. As Chuan Ji's reputation spreads, the business will be better. We will open a chain in the future."
Yang Guangdao: "Yes, to open a chain, we will open Chuanji Malatang all over Chang'an City as soon as possible."
Li Yuan said: "I'm going to make some tea, let's use tea instead of wine to celebrate."
Yang Guang said: "Okay, Aye doesn't like drinking, so we will have tea instead of wine."
Li Yuan went out, and after a while, he brought back a bunch of things, including a small stove, a stone mill, a tea maker, a tea bowl, and a few packages.
Li Yuan put tea leaves, rice, sesame, salt, litsea cubeba, ginger, vanilla, yellow flowers, fragrant leaves, vine grass, star anise, orange peel, dogwood, etc. on a stone mill, ground them into powder, and then put them into a tea maker Start to cook.
Xiao Chuan asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, why do you cook tea the same as porridge?"
Li Yuan said: "This is how tea is always brewed. Is there any other way to eat tea?"
Yang Guangdao: "Xiao Chuan, you don't know something. Cousin Li Yuan loves the tea ceremony very much. If you talk about other things with him, he doesn't care. If you talk to him about the tea ceremony, he can chat with you for three days and three nights."
Xiao Chuan said: "Oh, I admire you, I will definitely ask Cousin Yuan more about the tea ceremony in the future."
Li Yuan said: "They are all my brothers, so you don't have to be polite."
Soon the aroma evaporated, Li Yuan poured the thick tea soup into the tea bowl, and said, "Ah Chan, Cousin Chuan, try Brother Yu's handicraft."
Yang Guang picked up the tea bowl, blew on the hot air, and drank it with relish.
Xiao Chuan followed suit, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"puff!"
It was as if Xiao Chuan had taken a decoction, and a mouthful of tea foam spurted out along with star anise, dogwood, etc.
Li Yuan said anxiously: "Cousin Chuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Chuan coughed twice, and said, "Ahem, I'm sorry, Ah Chuan, Cousin Yuan, I just got a head injury, I can't eat big food, I didn't check for a while, I choked on it."
Yang Guangdao: "Cousin Chuan, I see that you don't usually pay attention to these elegant things. You have to take your time when drinking tea to taste it."
Xiao Chuan learned his lesson and drank it in small sips this time. Not to mention, this kind of tea porridge was hard to swallow at first, but after a few more sips, it tasted different again, especially when the three of them ate a pot of Mala Tang After that, drink tea and porridge again, it feels much better.
Xiao Chuan said: "It seems that there must be an adaptation process for everything."
After closing the shop at night, Xiao Chuan took stock of today's income, and the net profit was more than 1 penny.
Yang Guang said excitedly: "Yes, I didn't expect Malatang to look simple, but it is very profitable. If you earn 1000 coins a day, you can earn 30 coins a month. If you open a hundred stores, you can earn 3000 coins a month." !"
Xiao Chuan said: "Your Highness, if we can increase the number of Mala Hot Pot and Mala Hot Pot in the future, the profit can be doubled several times."
Li Yuan, who has always been steady, also said: "Then let's hurry up and add more items."
Xiao Chuan said: "Don't worry, I still have some seasonings that I haven't researched. If the seasonings are improved in the future, the business will be even better."
Yang Guangdao: "Xiao Chuan, you can do whatever you want. You need money. Cousin Li Yuan and I will invest more."
Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, I will definitely let the two of you get rich."
In the evening, Yang Jian went down to have dinner with Dugu Jialuo.
Dugu Jialuo is nearly forty years old, but he is still charming and charming, with a graceful figure. Although the dress is plain, it cannot conceal his peerless elegance.
Sitting on the warm heated kang, Yang Jian stretched comfortably, and said, "Jia Luo, I found that Chuan'er seemed to have opened up all of a sudden. Not only is he capable of both civil and military skills, but he can actually build a heated kang."
Dugu Jialuo said: "Yes, Chuan'er has finally grown up, and I am relieved."
On the low table were two plates of yellowed vegetables, a bowl of egg drop soup, a plate of pickles, and two small bowls of rice. The husband and wife sat opposite each other and began to eat.
After eating, Yang Jian rinsed his mouth, then swallowed the mouthwash, and said, "Jia Luo, when I was in the monastery when I was young, I hoped to have enough food every day, even if my three meals a day consisted of vegetables. "
Dugu Jialuo said: "Brother Jian is right. Although Jialuo's father is an honorable member of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, since his father was implicated in the political struggle and died, and his family was dispatched to Sichuan, he was worried every day. Thanks to Brother Jian's love and comfort, Jia Luo survived, even if he had vegetables every day, Jia Luo was happy."
Yang Jian said with a smile: "My father-in-law married me his most beloved seventh girl when I was humble, so I naturally want to love him like a treasure."
Dugu Jialuo said: "Jialuo only wishes to stay with Brother Jian for the rest of his life."
Yang Jian said: "Swear to live up to Jia Luo's love."
Dugu Jialuo blushed, and said with a smile, "Brother Jian, we're an old married couple, and you're still saying such nasty things to coax me."
Yang Jian said: "Hehe, tell the truth."
Dugu Jialuo said: "Recently, Yonger and the children of those aristocratic families have gotten closer."
Yang Jiandao: "Yong'er has always wanted to marry a woman from the Qiwang family with five surnames, but he failed. He can only marry the daughter of the Guanlong noble Yuan family. Yonger has always been a little unwilling. They look down on our Guanlong nobles with five surnames and Qiwang. ah."
Dugu Jialuo said: "Those families with five surnames and seven wangs have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their clansmen occupy most of the official positions in the court. Even Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, dare not uproot them, but just killed a few rebellious officials. Although our Guanlong noble family has been strong for hundreds of years, we are still not taken seriously by the family, brother Jian, don't pay too much attention, let's take our time."
Yang Jiandao: "For hundreds of years, the five surnames and the Qiwang family have controlled the court, the scholar-bureaucrats and the royal family have ruled the world together, the emperor's orders do not leave the counties, and the nobles of Guan Longxun hold the military power. As a balance between the royal family, the old and the new nobles, I think about it every day, like walking on thin ice, I want to be an emperor who truly controls the world, so as to ensure that our children and grandchildren can pass it on.”
