Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 58: Fish and Chili

Lu Bu tilted his head, with a puzzled look on his face, as if to say 'I did something wrong'?
"This... is right..." Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw this. This lord's military power is extraordinary, and his commanding ability is also first-rate, but his ability in housekeeping and governance can no longer be described as bad. The key is always It is whimsical.

Originally thought that her force, combined with her own ability to govern, could make a difference in this troubled world, but who knew that the other party still had two shortcomings, that is, willfulness and refusal to admit defeat.taciturn?Of course this cannot be counted, this is the charm of the lord!
After sorting out his thoughts, he tried to persuade him: "Currently, wheat is indeed on the rise, but my subordinates have seen it early in the morning. It will not continue to rise for too long, no more than five days at most, and the price will start to fall. After all, wheat was not planted on a large scale before. In addition to last year’s drought, the reserves of wheat were actually not much. Master House and the Chef’s Guild will sell first, and then the local family will sell. The wheat has almost been purchased, and there are very few left part, there is no need to repurchase.”

"What...how?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, thinking was too difficult for her, especially not good at communication.Fortunately, there is a solution recently: if you have any doubts, just ask Chen Gong to solve it!

Chen Duola... Cough... Chen Gong sighed immediately when he heard the words, thought carefully, and said: "The price of wheat may fall in the future, but there will still be a small increase. Sell ​​them all, and then buy corn, maybe you can make a small profit..."

"So soft..." Lu Bu squeezed the steamed bun, his expression was a little tangled, after eating the pastry, he fell in love with it.

"My lord, we are currently short of food, and locust plagues are beginning to rise. Now everyone can only live frugally, and we may have to let go of our appetites." Chen Gong persuaded patiently.

"Save some?" Lu Bu frowned slightly.

"Ten percent! It can't be any more!" Chen Gong knew that it was useless to continue talking, if the stalemate continued, Lu Bu's temper would come up, and the other wheat might not be able to be sold.

"Hmm!" Lu Bu's frowning relaxed immediately upon hearing this, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.Immediately, he remembered something, and passed the steamed bun in his hand, "I made... soft..."

'I made it' When these three keywords came into my ears, Chen Gong couldn't hold back any longer. He took the steamed bun and replied shyly: "Then...thank you for the reward, my lord... this subordinate will retire!"

Lu Bu immediately looked at Chen Gong with a complaining expression: "Xin... said... my girlfriend..."

"There is a difference between a monarch and a minister. You are my lord, and I am your subordinate. The etiquette cannot be broken...the subordinate will resign..." Because of Lu Bu's enthusiasm, Chen Gong couldn't bear it, and hurriedly resigned and left.

"Wow wow wow..." After leaving the government office and getting into the carriage, the delusions in my mind could not be stopped at all!

"Xinxin, these are steamed buns made by someone else..." In delusion, Lu Bu looked domineering, slowly lifted Chen Gong's chin, and sent the soft thing towards her mouth, "Come on, Zhang Open your mouth, ah~~~~"

"My lord, I will go all out to taste this white, tender and soft thing!" Chen Gong was so excited that his nosebleed directly dyed the steamed bun in his hand red.

"My lord Chen Gong's mistake, I've committed it again..." Hearing the movement in the car, the coachman couldn't help shaking his head.A plot like this is obviously not once or twice in Lu Bu's forces.

The next day, in a restaurant in Zhencheng, it was already around time, and Wang Yong was preparing lunch.Guo Jia has also returned from the yamen and is helping out.

"Feng Xiao, your complexion seems to have improved a lot in the past few days!" Wang Yong asked casually as he was wrapping dumplings with both hands.

"Indeed, after getting used to yoga, I gradually feel better." Guo Jia replied with gratitude. Yoga is combined with a certain degree of light exercise. After this period of time, her body has indeed improved slightly.Since last night, under Wang Yong's guidance, she has started to practice cooking.

"Persevere, no matter how hard you are, at least you can cook independently...Have you chosen the route to take?" Wang Yong continued to ask. He mentioned earlier that a chef must choose a cuisine.

"It's been decided!" Guo Jia nodded, "I want to be a face-to-face chef, specializing in white cases!"

"After all, you don't need much strength..." Wang Yong teased.

"Shopkeeper... please don't expose it casually..." Guo Jia blushed again. Indeed, she chose the pastry because she didn't need so much effort.Most pastries require just patience, and she has no shortage of patience.

In fact, what really made her up her mind was that a few days ago, she prepared two pork buns for Xun Yu, who ate them very happily.Listening to Xun Yu say the word "delicious", the small goal of always coming back was easily achieved at that moment.

"Then I'll make more for you in the future!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Xun Yu also showed a knowing smile.

Therefore, Wang Yong, who was watching all this at the time, was blinded by the loving lilies.

"Shopkeeper!" A familiar voice came from outside the door, but it was an old fisherman who had traded river prawns a few times earlier.

Speaking of which, there are still some small crabs in the water tank in the store. Few people eat these things in this era. Wang Yong cooked some crab porridge and raw crab soup to drink in private, and the one who is eligible to enjoy the blessings together is naturally Guo Jia, Liu Li and Dian Wei are three people.

"Old man, are you here again? What have you gained this time?" Wang Yong stepped forward with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, I have a big catch this time!" The old fisherman laughed and raised his hand. He picked up a bighead carp (also called silver carp/fathead carp, etc.), which weighed at least 6 kilograms.

Fathead fish grows to 2.5 kg in one year and 6 kg in two years. In terms of taste and nutritional value, this is the best time to use it. If it is too small, the taste will be bad.

"What a big fat fish, old man, what a great harvest!" Wang Yong suddenly smiled. With this, it is good for stewing fish soup or making other dishes. One fish can make at least three or four dishes.

"The old man didn't expect to be so lucky. He caught this big guy and immediately thought of the owner. If you don't bring this here, do you want to take it?" The old fisherman asked with a smile.

"Take it! How about I exchange it with three catties of corn?" Wang Yong asked the price.

"Hey, why does the shopkeeper need to be so polite, two catties is enough!" The old fisherman said with a smile, not many people eat this stuff, and it can't be sold at a good price. The key shopkeeper is easy-going and helped him when he was in the most difficult time.Otherwise, the grandson might not survive.

"That's good, two catties is two catties!" Wang Yong nodded. With today's prices, two catties of rice is indeed not cheap.

The bighead carp has just been caught not long ago, and the vitality of this thing is relatively strong, so it is not so easy to hang.However, in order to keep it fresh when cooking, Wang Yong still kept it in a special large water tank.

"Fish head needless to say, fish head sour bamboo shoots and tofu soup, this is the first thing I thought of!" Looking at the bighead carp in the water tank, Wang Yong began to think about how to cook it, "Steaming the fish meat...it's better to cook pickled fish directly... …Damn it, the peppers aren’t ripe yet!”

This is the saddest thing. Pepper's words are still in the growth stage.Even with the use of farmyard manure, it is not so easy to let it grow rapidly to the point where the peppers are ripe as if they were given hormones.

There is pepper, but can boiled fish without pepper still be called boiled fish?As for sauerkraut, he soaked it half a month ago. In fact, this thing has always been available, but the taste of everyone’s pickled must be different, so if you really need it, you can buy it directly from Master House or the Chef’s Guild.

Of course, Wang Yong, who is not spicy, has also checked, and there is really a way to add chili.But the most classic thing in my memory is to have chili... He also admitted that when his mouth was so weak, he kind of missed the taste of chili.

"Shopkeeper!" Wen Ming, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came to the shop and shouted when he saw Wang Yong was not there.

"Wen Ming? Are you coming to eat?" Wang Yong didn't see this kid these days, so he came out and asked.

"I have officially become a full-time employee in the past few days, and there are a lot of procedures. I haven't had time to come over for a meal..." Wen Ming suddenly said with an apologetic expression, "Oh, yes! This time I came here to tell the shopkeeper a good time. News, the species you asked us to look for, we found peppers again. But the quantity is still a little small, fresh and dried ones each found ten catties, do you know if it is enough?"

"Enough, definitely enough! That's enough!" Wang Yong yelled suddenly, and he didn't eat chili peppers as a meal. Twenty catties of chili peppers, especially ten catties of dried chili peppers, can be used for a long time!
"In terms of price..." Wen Ming took the two sacks he was carrying with him and put them in front of Wang Yong.

"Don't worry, I will never let you suffer!" Wang Yong laughed, since the Wanshiwu has been found, it is good to buy directly from them in the future, but in his own yard, he still needs to plant some of the species.

"Actually, the price is really not high!" Wen Ming was a little embarrassed, "It's just that the taste of this thing is a bit weird, and the owner doesn't know how to use it, so of course it's hard to determine the price, so let me come here and ask the owner to use this Make a dish with something, and knowing how to use it is considered a reward!"

"It's that simple?" Wang Yong suddenly felt a little puzzled, isn't this cheap for him?

"Isn't it the greatest tragedy for any thing that can become a commodity, but as an operator, you don't know its value? We can't just bring this thing here and only trade with you, right?" Wen Ming said awkwardly Said.

"I can use it to make a dish!" Wang Yong thought for a while, "But you need to help with the registration of the recipe for free!"

"That's no problem, I'll go to the chef's guild later!" Wen Ming immediately agreed.

"That's good! There is a bighead carp in the kitchen, so let's make a soup with fish head, sour bamboo shoots and tofu, and a big pot of pickled fish! The soup and side dishes are all there, and then I prepare the rice, um, that's it! "Wang Yong nodded.

Steamed buns or steamed buns are also good, but someone in the yamen said that they want to change the taste...

"Feng Xiao, go to the yamen to inform, there are delicious food!" Wang Yong shouted towards the back kitchen.

"Is there something delicious? What kind of surprise does the owner plan to give us today?!" Xun Yu's figure suddenly appeared outside the store door without any special notice, and behind her, other civil and military officials also arrived one after another. Wang Yong's immediate boss, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, is indispensable.
