I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 116 Come back!The taste of memories
Shibusawa Eiichi and Ito Koshitaro acted very quickly. Less than two hours after Yagyu arranged it, they found Hashii Norio, the best tempura-making chef in Kyoto. This person made tempura. Even the ministers in Kyoto and the princes were full of praise.

It is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu died of illness after eating too much tempura fried by his ancestors.

The history of tempura is relatively short, no more than 400 years ago. In the beginning, it was just a food for common people, the price was cheap, and the main consumer target was the residents of the castle town.

After entering the Edo period, General Tokugawa encouraged the people to refining more oil. The people found various plants for oil refining, which also made the Edo period no longer short of oil.

Under this background, tempura quickly became a common food on the streets of Kyoto and Osaka, and was bought and eaten by the townspeople. There were even samurai and princes who dressed up as civilians to eat tempura.

Some people saw business opportunities and began to add other ingredients to tempura. After spreading, tempura gradually became a noble food. Of course, there are still cheap tempuras for sale on the streets. The price is cheap, and some fish tempura is just as popular. A string of about ten essays.

However, Yagyu doesn't want to make KFC a noble food, but he can add some gimmicks to make it famous.

When Yagyu saw the short but lean Norio Hashii, he comforted him: "Don't be nervous, Boss Hashii. I invite you here today because I have a new tempura food that I want you to make.

But before that, we need to sign a work agreement and a confidentiality agreement. As long as you can successfully make new tempura, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold. In addition, you can also get a position with a monthly salary of 50 taels. "

Norio Hashii said blankly: "This... villain cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."

Yagyu knew that Hashii Norio felt that he had trouble with too little money and too many things, so he explained: "I plan to promote this new tempura product abroad. Once it is recognized, it will be a steady stream of income. I will repay it at the end of the year based on the income." You will be given a bonus.

If the profit of the new tempura reaches 10 taels, you will get a bonus of 50 taels. For one million taels, you will get a bonus of 500 taels.

And in view of your contribution, I can let your descendants enter the best colleges to study. Once they achieve success in their studies, they can become officials. What about, this condition is very generous. "

Norio Hashii said in surprise: "Prime Minister, my descendants can also be officials?"

Yagyu nodded and said, "Of course, it depends on your decision now."

Norio Hashii immediately saluted and said: "I am willing, I am willing!"

Yagyu stood up immediately and said: "Okay, let's sign the contract now, and I will take you to the kitchen later."

Norio Hashii readily signed the contract with Yagyu, and then came to the kitchen of the cabinet. When the chef in the kitchen saw Yagyu coming, he immediately stood up and saluted.

Yagyu waved his hand and said: "You go out now, Tetsunosuke, and lead people to guard the perimeter of the kitchen."

"what!"

The chefs immediately left the kitchen, and Ichimura Tetsunosuke led the escort team to guard around the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yagyu took out the recipe he had written down from memory: chicken legs, flour, fried chicken breading powder (a mixture of flour, cornstarch, eggs, and water), soy sauce, salt, and MSG.

Yagyu recorded the recipe for making fried chicken drumsticks at home, which is similar to the one in KFC.

In the kitchen, there are many ingredients, many ingredients can be gathered together, and there is even chili powder.

Norio Hashii didn’t know much about fried chicken breading, but after listening to Yagyu’s introduction, he found fried chicken breading in a jar nearby.

Norio Hashii pointed to the ingredients in the tube and said: "I just took a quick look and found that the ingredients in the kitchen are all complete. What is in this jar is the fried chicken breading that the Prime Minister needs."

He picked up a little, tried it, and said, "It's well kept. It should be bought from an English merchant."

Liu Sheng was surprised: "How do you know?"

Norio Hashii explained: "This was after Prime Minister opened the port. Many Westerners came to Kyoto. There was a traveler from England who tasted tempura in the villain's shop and told the villain about him. The cuisine of my hometown mentions a type of flour that is also used for fried foods.”

The British people Norio Hashii mentioned were actually the Scots. The Scots had already breaded fried chicken to make fried food five centuries ago, but they lacked seasoning and had no taste.After the [-]th century, black people in the American South combined the Scottish breaded fried chicken technique with West African seasoning techniques to create southern-style fried chicken in the United States, which has been passed down to this day.

Yagyu didn't know about this kind of thing. He originally wanted to slowly adjust the recipe for fried chicken breading, but now he can use it directly.

But after all, it is an imported product, which will increase the cost, so Yagyu still said to Hashii Norio: "I hope you can prepare the same breading powder."

Norio Hashii thought of Yagyu's promise and said, "The villain will do his best to handle this matter."

Yagyu nodded and said, "Okay, let's start frying the chicken."

Norio Hashii immediately arranged Yagyu's recipe and started making fried chicken. He first put the chicken legs on the cutting board and cut them with a knife. He put the chicken legs in a bowl, then put eggs, soy sauce, MSG and other seasonings, and kneaded them with his hands. Delicious.

Then put the cut chicken legs into the breading bowl and coat them with a layer of breading, then put them into a bowl of water next to them, and then put them into the breading bowl to coat with a layer of breading powder.

Finally, he put it into the hot oil that was already [-]% hot and fried it on medium heat. When it was almost ready, he turned on high heat and continued frying. It wasn't until Yagyu saw that the chicken legs in the pot matched his memory that he stopped.

When the chicken legs were taken out, they had a rich sesame flavor.

Because it was for Yagyu to taste, Norio Hashii naturally used the best sesame oil.

Yagyu waited for the chicken legs to cool down a bit, then picked them up and took a tentative bite. The browned coating was very crispy, but the chicken leg meat inside was very smooth and tender, and the flavor of the seasoning overflowed to stimulate his taste buds.

Liu Sheng specially added some chili powder to this fried chicken leg, and the spiciness reacted quickly, making him feel a little hot.

"That's what it tastes like, KFC's spicy chicken drumsticks!"

At that moment, Yagyu seemed to have returned to his carefree university dormitory, and he was blowing on the air conditioner, watching anime, with spicy chicken drumsticks in one hand and Fat House Happy Water in the other.

This is his long-lost happiness!

You know, he has killed people since the first day he traveled through time, and then he continued to kill people all the way, covered in blood. His career of more than two years has transformed him into a cold-blooded politician.

At this moment, he missed not only the comfortable college life, but also his past.

Yagyu looked at Norio Hashii and praised seriously: "It's so delicious. This is the taste in my memory!"

When Norio Hashii heard this, his tense heart finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little excited, and saluted with tears in his eyes: "Ah Ricardo... Auntie Gouza is dead!"

Yagyu put down the fried chicken legs, stepped forward to help Hashii Norio, and said comfortingly: "Hashii, you have done a great job, we will use this fried chicken legs to conquer the stomachs of Western countries and let them know that Japan is also powerful!

When the whole world eats this fried chicken drumstick, people will also think of Japan!Qiaojing, your efforts will be remembered in history! "

Even though he was a humble citizen, Norio Hashii was also moved by Yagyu's deception. He asked in disbelief: "Can a villain really do it?"

Yagyu pointed at the fried chicken legs and said: "Of course, Hashii, your name will be praised by the Japanese people in the future! Try it, you will believe it after you try it!"

Norio Hashii stepped forward and picked up a piece of intact fried chicken leg and took a bite. As he chewed, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Norio Hashii couldn't help but exclaimed: "What does this taste like? It's so delicious! It tastes completely different from the previous tempura!"

He turned back to look at Yagyu, and immediately saluted: "Prime Minister, I understand, I will definitely do my best to let people in other countries eat such delicious food!"
