I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 33
Everyone thought that He Shao had already been eliminated by them, but he didn't expect that He Shao not only entered the arena forcefully, but also slapped everyone in the face severely, causing heavy losses to the 72 main stores in Kaifeng City.

"Feng Lang, if you want to eat Qiang cooking, just let the people below do the work, there is no need for you." Master Zhu said as she watched He Shao busy.

"Master, just wait at ease, this thing can't be done by anyone but me."

"Just let him do it. This kid's ancestor is He Zeng. The old man really wants to see what this Western Jin rich man eats all day," Li Hang said.

The Qiang boiled in Zhu's mouth is the hot pot of the Song Dynasty, which was invented by the Hu people. It is so simple and unpalatable that all the meat is boiled in the pot.

Everyone knows what the Hu people do, but the most high-end eating method is obviously mastered by He Shao, the most important of which are of course the dipping and bottoming ingredients.

There is no chili in the Song Dynasty now, so the flavor of the hot pot base will lack a lot and can only be used as a clear soup.

Two large stick bones have been boiled for more than an hour, and there are ginger and bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, pepper, Codonopsis ginseng, sand ginseng, wolfberry, longan, and various mushrooms for seasoning.

"Uncle Zhong, go out and buy a sheep"

Li Zhong is an official of the Xiangfu, and only He Shao and the Li family dare to order him like this.

"Good Master Fenglang"

He Shao roasted and dried the sesame seeds, added pepper (Prickly ash) and coarse salt, ground and crushed them, chopped some diced green onions, and then poured them in with boiled hot oil.

There were a lot of sliced ​​meats on the table. He Si moved a special stove to the center of the table. Even Li Hang wondered why he put the brazier for heating on it after a meal.

"Sir, mistress, please have a taste"

How to eat is also particular. He Shao first became a teacher. A piece of cooked meat was rolled in sesame sauce and then put into the mouth. The feeling of the meat mixed with other aromas blooming in the taste buds is simply wonderful.

One of Li Hang's greatest pleasures is food.

"You don't need to teach me"

He knocked open He Shao who was about to scoop up the meat with his chopsticks, and then put it into his own bowl.

Mrs. Zhu, Li Jianzong put down the chopsticks faster and faster after taking a sip, and couldn't even speak.

Li Hang was sweating from eating, his stomach was already full, but his hands were still unconsciously rinsing the meat, until finally he couldn't eat any more.

"Feng Lang, what did you call this just now?"

"The Qiang cooking students you mentioned have also tasted it, and the taste is really not very good. I call it hot pot."

"The world is absolutely delicious!" Li Hang sighed.

This is the trump card prepared by He Shao. In addition to the blood flowing in the body of the Han people, there are also barbecue and hot pot!
"In two days, the student's hot pot restaurant will open on the side of Yudao, near Wanchun Building and Fan Building." He Shao laughed.

"You kid is going to run them to death!"

As the prime minister, Li Hang is also a frequent visitor to Fanlou, but after eating this hot pot, he suddenly felt that there is no other flavor in the world that can compare.

"When it opens, you and Kou Xiangke must come."

"Haha, you kid just want the old man to give you a strong reputation, that's all, who made you a student of the old man?" Li Hang laughed.

All the restaurants in Kaifeng City were shrouded in gloom because of the severe damage to the wine market, but what they didn't expect was that, as He Shao said, the crisis had not stopped but was still spreading.

He Shao scattered all the money in his hands to buy shops, some of which needed simple decoration before they could open for business, and some of them could be used immediately after buying.

There are a total of five Fanlou in Kaifeng City, and of these shops that He Shao is interested in, four are adjacent to Fanlou, and two are near Wanchunlou.

Yigao is bold, and his intention of targeting is obvious, which is to deal with the two overlords of restaurants in Kaifeng City.

Even if the prices of these stores are much higher than the normal market prices, He Shao doesn't care, he is sure to earn back all the capital and profits.

Now the price of Zuixian wine in the street market has dropped from two hundred yuan to ninety yuan, which is slightly more expensive than silver bottle wine, and these people can only recognize it by pinching their noses.

Wanchun Building will lose at least [-] to [-] guan. Yang Shiliang was severely scolded by Yang Wanchun because of this matter. It was a good move but he didn't expect to fall into such a field.

When Yang Shiliang was putting up accounts at the cabinet, he heard a burst of crackling firecrackers. The shops near Yudao were often closed, and it was not unusual to open and close.

But soon, Yang Shiliang smelled a strange fragrance from the street.

"What kind of store is open outside?" Yang Shiliang asked.

“I heard it is a hot pot restaurant”

"Hot pot restaurant? Is it a restaurant?" Yang Shiliang had never heard of such a name.

"I don't know, but I saw He Shao at the door of the shop..."

After hearing He Shao's name, Yang Shiliang's heart tightened, and he walked out of the counter quickly. As expected, He Shao waved at him at the door of the store.

This time was originally the best time for restaurant business, but those diners came to the hot pot restaurant one after another looking for the aroma, and there were more than one restaurant, there was a restaurant on the left and right!

Kou Zhun and Li Hang came together, and the presence of the two court chiefs naturally attracted many people, and He Shao also saw Li Di among them.

"The Futai is here in person, the small shop is full of splendor"

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although Li Di is only a fifth-rank official, he can directly intervene in all matters in Kaifeng City.

"Shibie three days, you should look at each other with admiration, you are now a big celebrity in Kaifeng City"

Li Di was also very polite, especially when he knew that He Shao was able to join Li Hang's family.

"In the future, there must be a place to rely on you"

"It's easy to say," Li Di entered the store with a smile.

"Mr. Taichu, is this hot pot really as delicious as you said?" Kou Zhun asked suspiciously.

"This hot pot is born out of Qiang cooking, but the taste is completely different. It is not only delicious, it is simply wonderful." Li Hang said while still reminiscing about the taste of yesterday.

The two were dressed in regular clothes. The hot pot restaurant next to Wanchun Building is a small two-story building. As soon as they arrived at the door, a fair young man greeted them.

"The downstairs is full, the two of you upstairs please"

Knowing the appearance of all important officials of the court is a must-have homework for the waiter in almost all restaurants, but after seeing the prime minister of the court, although this man bowed his body halfway, his back was very straight, and the smile on his face did not show any flattery.

Because of time constraints, the decoration in the store is also simple, not as luxurious as Wanchun Building and Fan Building, but it is unique in simplicity.

On both sides of the door is a three-story trapezoidal display cabinet, in which there are various dishes, such as turquoise short yellow, sliced ​​radishes, chrysanthemum chrysanthemums, and of course more meat.

"How do you eat this?" Kou Zhun asked.

He Shao had told him long ago that Li Hang was familiar with ordering food.

"Three catties of mutton, a plate of short yellow, and a portion of mushrooms"

"What is this?" Kou Zhun asked, pointing to a plate of white jade-colored meatballs.

"This is shrimp balls. It's so delicious, let's have a plate," Li Hang said.

"Do you need me to prepare the sauce for you?" asked the waiter beside him.

"No, no, the old man will come by himself"

There are not many opportunities to make Kou Zhun feel ignorant, and Li Hang will firmly grasp every time, so he does everything by himself no matter what.

All the tableware in this store are specially fired, Li Hang took out a beautiful small porcelain bowl and explained the ingredients to Kou Zhun.

"Ping Zhong, one of the biggest differences between hot pot and Qiang cooking is the dipping sauce. Feng Lang said it's called sesame sauce? The meat is delicious when paired with this sesame sauce."

Li Hang scooped up two spoonfuls with a spoon, and put some minced green onion and garlic.

"The old man's teeth are bad, and he can't eat this sour vinegar. You are still young, so you can order some."

"Where did this kid learn?"

Kou Zhun said to himself, he also asked someone to investigate He Shao's family background, and there was nothing special about it.

"Maybe it's a talent."
