Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 336 "Monster"

Wang Pingan said: "You can't do anything at the moment, because you haven't really unified Lingnan. There are too many tribes, Fan Wang, and they are not of one mind with you. Even if you own a commercial plaza, you will often be harassed, no Like Chang’an, Datang’s power center and economic center, so I will build a commercial plaza.”

After Wang Ping'an's explanation, Feng An also understood why the other party said that the commercial plaza could not be built, so he could only sigh in disappointment.

Seeing this, Wang Pingan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, General Feng doesn't need to be so discouraged. Didn't you say that there are many foreign kings and tribes with different surnames who are plotting something? Why didn't General Feng implement a thunderous method to let them know Tang's majesty, by the way, is wooing some small tribes?"

Feng An narrowed his eyes, looked deeply at Wang Ping'an, and said in his heart, "This is really not easy!"

In fact, before Feng An came to Chang'an, he had already arranged everything. He monitored the conspiring kings and tribal leaders, and asked his son to visit those small tribes. After he returned, he would send troops to unify the south of Lingnan and make the Feng family's career even better. one floor.

He didn't tell Wang Ping'an of his plan, but parted ways after chatting a few words about family matters.

On the other hand, Wang Pingan did not tell Feng An the idea of ​​developing Lingnan. If the other party kicked him aside after speaking, he could do nothing about it.

After Wang Ping'an left the palace, Zhao Hao was already waiting outside the palace. After the two returned to Wangji Winery, they called four cooks, two male cooks, and two cooks. These four were in Chang'an. The newly recruited cook.

The four of them are in charge of Wangji Winery. They provide meals for dozens of people, including workers during the day. There are more than 100 mouths, and the four of them serve these mouths obediently.

Wang Pingan said: "Your skills have been very high after more than half a year of practice. Today I will give you a chance to show off. Tonight, the imperial palace will entertain the officials. This young master will take care of the work. In the evening, all the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room Will be your helper."

The four chefs began to feel excited. For them, the imperial dining room was their greatest yearning, just like an official's yearning to be an official in the imperial court.They yearn to be an imperial cook in the imperial dining room.

"Master, is what you said true? Can we really command those royal chefs?" Chef Lin asked.

"Bold, how dare you question the young master." Zhao Hao next to him said angrily.

"thump!!!"

Chef Lin knelt down in fear. During the period when he was the chef at Wangji Winery, Wang Pingan had a good temper, and even though there were maids and servants in the family, they only signed labor contracts, not contracts of sale, which caused him to forget The previous person is also his master.

Trembling all over, he said, "Please spare your life, young master."

"thump!!!"

Then the other three chefs knelt down and pleaded for Chef Lin: "Master, please forgive Chef Lin."

Wang Pingan was stunned for a moment, and said: "What are you doing, get up." Turning to Zhao Hao, he said, "Zhao Hao, hurry up and help Chef Lin and the others up."

"Master, they dare to question your words. There is a reason for their crime." Zhao Hao said dissatisfied.

Wang Ping'an's face sank after hearing this, and he said, "Help them up quickly, and then you stand with them."

Zhao Hao saw that Wang Ping'an's expression had changed, so he reluctantly went to help the four Chef Lin.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." Chef Lin and the others didn't dare to let Zhao Hao help them, and they all stood up by themselves.

Zhao Hao snorted coldly, and stood in a row with the four of them.

Wang Pingan shook his head helplessly, and said: "You must remember that there is no distinction between high and low occupations, as long as you do your job well, in this Wangji winery, as long as you have the ability and want to do business, no matter if you open a business Restaurant, open a workshop, my young master can show up to invest in your business.

It's like Chef Lin is already able to visit a restaurant. As long as he wants, I can pay him to open a restaurant and arrange a shopkeeper for him. "

Wang Ping'an even quoted the four cooks who were very excited. They never thought that Wang Ping'an would give them money to open a restaurant. From their knowledge, no big family was willing to waste money on servants.

And Zhao Hao was also shocked at this time, he thought that Wang Ping'an was only so generous to those who were close to him, but he didn't expect him to treat everyone equally, but he and Dong Xue were a little closer, so there were more opportunities.

"thump!"

After the four of them glanced at each other, they knelt down again. This time they said gratefully: "Thank you, young master, for your generosity. I want to open a restaurant later, so please help me."

"You..." Zhao Hao was taken aback when he heard that, but he didn't expect that they already had such thoughts in their hearts.

Wang Pingan looked at these four people with great satisfaction, helped them up, and said with a smile: "Very good, having such an idea shows that you are constantly asking yourself in your heart to make your cooking skills better. In order to prove that you have If you can get me to invest in the construction of the restaurant, then from tomorrow, within a month, a new dish will be launched every day, or when you have thirty new dishes, I can also invest in you."

When the four of them heard this, their faces changed. Thirty dishes are not something ordinary cooks can do. They felt that Wang Ping'an was making things difficult for them, so they wanted to retreat.

Wang Pingan said again: "The chef of a restaurant not only needs to have superb cooking skills, but also needs to constantly try and research new dishes, in case other restaurants copy the dishes you already have, which will affect the business of the restaurant."

The four people heard the words again, their expressions became serious, and then the four knelt down again, saying: "I know, I will live up to the young master's hope, and I will definitely research thirty new dishes."

Wang Pingan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I am waiting for your good news, and now I am going to buy ingredients with me."

"Yes!"

In this way, Wang Pingan took Zhao Hao and the four chefs out to buy ingredients.

The place where ingredients are sold is on South Street. This street mainly buys ingredients. There are all kinds of ingredients, even beef, but the beef is all accidental death or death of illness or old age.The government has records.

According to Wang Ping'an's thinking, just have a whole pig feast, and I don't want to make it too troublesome, but according to Li Er's intention, it seems that if it's just a whole pig feast, I probably won't be able to eat it.

So he came to South Street himself to see if there were any different ingredients.

He took the five people around and looked around, and found that Datang's ingredients were really pitiful, only chicken, duck, fish, and ordinary fruits and vegetables grown on the ground.

"I didn't expect that there are so few ingredients here? They are all the most common ingredients." Wang Pingan couldn't help complaining that in the future, there would be hundreds of berths alone.The ingredients are countless.

"Master, there are game sellers in front, and some hunters often hunt some wild animals to sell." Chef Lin said.

"Wild game? No interest." Wang Pingan said cheekily. It's not that he's not interested, but that he doesn't know how to do it. In the future, it will be illegal to hunt and kill wild animals, including eating them.So let alone making them into dishes.

"Look, I'm right, it walks sideways, don't you believe me this time."

"Really, really, there are still such monsters in this world."

Between a vegetable vendor and a pork vendor, two teenagers were looking at the bamboo baskets and talking.

This aroused Wang Ping'an's curiosity. He walked over and said with a smile: "You two brothers, what are you looking at, can you show me?"

The two teenagers raised their heads and saw Wang Ping'an, and saw that he was wearing gorgeous clothes. They knew that this must be a young master from a rich family, and they were not something they could offend. So a teenager with a bamboo basket handed it to Wang Ping'an. And said: "Young master, you have to be careful, its two big pincers will pinch your hands."

"Two big pincers?" Wang Pingan took the bamboo basket curiously and saw a hairy crab crawling around in the bamboo basket, bursting out excitedly: "Nimma, isn't this a hairy crab?"

Wang Ping'an was so excited to see Dazha, because he hadn't eaten it for a long time, and he really missed its taste, and the season was almost over.

"Master, do you recognize this thing?" Master Zhulan asked.

Wang Pingan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I don't know where you caught it? Is there any more?"

The bamboo basket boy said without hesitation: "Yes, there are many more. The weather is hot these two days, and these monsters have come out again. Many crops have been destroyed by them."

Wang Ping'an knows that hairy crabs are omnivores, eating plants and dead animals.So he said, "Take me to have a look."

"This..." The bamboo basket boy looked at the old man who was selling vegetables not far away, wanting to ask his opinion.

Before the other party answered, Wang Pingan asked, "Are these dishes from your family?"

The boy nodded and said, "It belongs to my family, he is my grandfather."

Wang Pingan returned the bamboo basket to the young man, and said, "Okay, I'll take all your food, Zhao Hao, go and pay for it." Then he said to the young man, "Okay, now you can take us to see it. "

At this time, the old man came over. He came to thank Wang Ping'an, and then heard the young man say that Wang Ping'an wanted to go to the place where hairy crabs haunted, so he took Wang Ping'an and others to the riverside without saying a word.

"Master, this is here. These monsters, oh no, hairy crabs will climb up from the river and eat everyone's crops at noon in these two days." Said.

Seeing the sad look of the old man, Wang Pingan said: "Old man, you may not know that these hairy crabs are a great delicacy. It's a pity that you just caught them and threw them away or killed them. Don't leave later." Alright, I'll make a dish of steamed hairy crabs for your grandchildren to try."
