Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 169 [Steamed Buns, Steamed Buns, Pickled Vegetables and Porridge, General Buns Shop Opens]

West Street of Panyu City, this is the busiest street in Panyu City. [Zixian Wine House] opened on this street before, and the business has been booming.

Today, another large-scale shop opened on West Street. It is a two-story pavilion, and the plaque reads [Jiangjun Baozi Shop], which is the name of this new shop.

It was very festive with lanterns and festoons, and many people came to congratulate it. It can be said that it was more lively than when [Zuixian Wine House] opened.

Not for anything else, but because there are two words [General] on his plaque, he is worthy of everyone's admiration.

Of course, no officials came to congratulate today, and Lu Bu would not show up, but it still couldn't hide that this was the new store ordered by the General.

Some people are curious: What's the matter, the general likes to do business, and opened a shop?
This kind of scene is indispensable to watch the excitement, and the outside of [General Steamed Bun Shop] is already overcrowded.

"I heard that this shop was opened by the General. The General is really strange. He likes to open a shop."

"Shhh, don't talk about the general, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"Look, what's inside these steaming bamboo cages outside the shop?"

"I don't know, this is a bamboo steamer. It is said that it was invented by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. It is specially used to steam some dry food. The bamboo steamer in front of me should also be filled with dry food."

"Dry food? Then why is it called steamed stuffed bun?"

"What are buns?"

"You don't know, my son served as a soldier for the general. When he wrote back, he mentioned buns, steamed buns, etc., saying that they were specially made for them in the army, and they were very delicious."

There was a lot of discussion outside, and the steward of [Jiangjun Baozipu], that is, Steward Luo's brother-in-law, is busy at the door to greet those who came to congratulate.

And Luo Kun also came, it was inconvenient for him to show up outside, so he could only entertain some prominent people in the shop, such as: people from noble families, officials sent to congratulate, and some big merchants.

"Boss Luo, congratulations, the new store has opened, good luck and prosperity!"

Today, Zhou Zhang took the time to come to congratulate him. He had to come to the shop opened by the general, although he felt a little uncomfortable because of Luo Kun.

"Boss Zhou, you are the big boss. I, Luo, are just a small butler of the general. I work for the general and cannot bear the title of boss. Thank you, boss Zhou, for coming to congratulate me. Please go upstairs."

Luo Kun said with a smile, and Zhou Zhang and Zhou Zhang were a little uncomfortable with each other, and they spoke in a strange way.

Just as Zhou Zhang went upstairs, six people came in at the door. They were none other than Yan Xi, Liu Jing, Tian Jiang, Tan Yan, Fu Kun, Wutuo Latu and other six big merchants.

Luo Kun had never seen these people before, and his brother-in-law received the greeting stickers at the door. Seeing that they were not dressed like ordinary people, he also invited them upstairs.

This is exactly what the six people wanted. They came to Zhou Zhang specifically to discuss joining the chamber of commerce.

Yesterday, when they heard the news that the general's army had won a big victory in Jiaozhi County, they immediately panicked.

These merchants, especially the big merchants, have their own people everywhere, and they get news much faster than ordinary people.

Jiaozhi County was broken by the general's army, that is to say, Jiaozhou has completely fallen into the hands of the general, and the general of Jiaozhou has the final say.

Now they can't leave Jiaozhou, and the basic business is in Jiaozhou. If they want to continue to do business, they have to rely on the general.

The momentum crushes people to death!
When they came to the second floor, the six of them went straight to Zhou Zhang's seat.

"Boss Zhou, you are such a busy person. It's not easy to meet you."

Yan Xi, a salt merchant, took the lead and said with a smile.

They all posted invitations yesterday, but Zhou Zhang made excuses to decline.

It just so happened that they learned that this [General Baozi Shop] was also opened by the general, and they thought that Zhou Zhang would definitely come, so they waited here early in the morning.

In the end, they didn't let them wait in vain.

"So it's the six big bosses. I don't know what to do with Zhou?" Zhou Zhang pretended to be confident.

"Boss Zhou, you are so forgetful. Didn't you say before that you want to set up a chamber of commerce? We have thought about it clearly now. We were confused before and didn't see that joining the chamber of commerce is beneficial to us and has no harm."

"Today, we came to bother you because we wanted to join the chamber of commerce. We also asked Boss Zhou to give us a chance. We will definitely repay Boss Zhou."

Yan Xi spoke on behalf of the six of them, and he was already prepared to be bullied, so his posture was very low.

"Don't worry about this matter. Please sit down, six of you. Try this steamed stuffed bun, pickled vegetables and rice porridge. It tastes very good, and these are all things that the General came up with. The General is really amazing!"

Zhou Zhang still had a high profile, and if he didn't take the opportunity to establish dignity in front of these big merchants, how would he manage the chamber of commerce in the future, so he couldn't agree to the six of them soon.

There are several small steamers steaming on the table, with porridge, pickles, pickles, etc., as well as a vegetarian dish [vegetarian fried sweet potato tip].

Baozipu mainly sells buns and steamed buns, and also provides porridge, kimchi and pickled vegetables.

Regardless of the six people, Zhou Zhang opened a steamer on his own, and took out a small steamed bun, which went with the kimchi porridge.

"This is the steamed stuffed bun?"

The six people looked at it, and they also became curious. They couldn't rush things, so they simply tasted the steamed buns, pickled vegetables and porridge that the general thought of.

The skin is thin, the stuffing is rich, and the meat is full of juice, and these meats are all from [porcupine pigs], which are delicious and have no smell.

Kimchi cooked with brassica (equivalent to cabbage) is sour!
It is a kind of enjoyment to have a sip of white rice porridge at the end.

Meat and white rice are not eaten by ordinary people, and kimchi is more tender and crispy than pickled vegetables, which is now a delicacy.

"Delicious, what the general came up with is extraordinary."

"Steamed buns, steamed buns, kimchi, and porridge are a perfect match. I didn't expect such a simple thing to be made so amazingly, so people are full of praise!"

The six people were surprised and admired, and by the way, flattered the general in front of Zhou Zhang.

And outside [Jiangjun Steamed Bun Shop], the tasting has already started. One can get one steamed bun and one steamed bun for free, and the quantity is limited until supplies last.

Thousands of free buns and steamed buns have been swept away in less than two hours, and if you want to eat, you have to pay for it.

Compared with the wine price of [Zuixian Wine House], the steamed buns here are too cheap.

Many people bought it, but didn’t eat it. They wanted to take it home and imitate it by themselves. Isn’t it just adding meat stuffing to the bread and steaming it in a steamer? It seems very easy to imitate.

Ever since, the rich people in Panyu City first set off a craze for steamed buns, pickled vegetables and porridge.
