Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Chapter 184 Fan Shang's Surprise

The so-called "Chang'an Chicken" that Zhang Nuo talked about is actually a famous state banquet dish - Dong'an Chicken. Although the recipe of this dish is not complicated, it has requirements for knife skills and heat.

In Zhang Nuo's previous life, this dish was his specialty, so it's natural to show it off at this time.

Zhang Nuo slashed the little chicken several times, then gently separated the chicken, and said to the big and strong brothers,

"Look, the chicken is divided into sixteen pieces for just a few dollars. The advantage of this is that after the whole dish is finished, it can be assembled into a whole chicken, which looks different!"

Zhang Nuo, who had finished preparing the materials, stood directly in front of the stove, looking at the dark stove in front of him, feeling a little nostalgic for no reason.

The current stove in his home is of course a clean stainless steel stove, but in fact he is most familiar with this kind of dark earthen stove, so it has been a long time since I saw it, and suddenly standing in front of this kind of stove is really cool. I miss it a bit.

Of course there is no natural gas at the moment. The size of the fire depends on adding firewood on the one hand, and on the other hand mainly depends on the bellows. Before the Dazhuang brothers pulled the bellows by themselves, now that he is on the stove, it is naturally still the same. The two brothers pulled the bellows and added firewood.

Increase the firepower to the maximum, add oil, shredded ginger, and pepper to sauté until fragrant, then add chicken to stir fry after the oil is warmed up.

Datang currently doesn't have cooking wine. Although Zhang Nuo can get cooking wine from the system, he can't be used to it all the time, so he directly replaces it with his own white wine.

Pour in vinegar and salt to taste and start to simmer. After five minutes, start cooking directly.

Zhang Nuo picked up the big iron pot with ease, and quickly took out the sixteen pieces of chicken with chopsticks and placed them on the plate, explaining,

"This dish emphasizes freshness, tenderness, fragrance, fat but not greasy, and full of aroma. At the same time, it also requires delicate presentation. It is like a master painting when served on the table. You can tell it is the work of a chef by looking at its shape. That's the only way to sell it at a high price!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole plate of chicken was ready!

Looking at the steaming dish in front of them, but it was arranged in the shape of a whole chicken, the two Da Zhuang brothers were convinced that this is the owner, and it is extraordinary if you cook it casually.

Zhang Nuo didn't care about the ghostly appearance of the two of them anymore, he waved his hand and said,

"You guys send up the three dishes first, Hongyu is there, you also know each other, and then cook a few more dishes! I'll talk to that merchant about a deal first!"

The Da Zhuang brothers naturally hurriedly agreed, and Zhang Nuo turned around and walked out without saying anything else.

As soon as he walked to the lobby on the first floor, he saw the Hu merchant boss he had known when he first arrived in Chang'an.

The Hu merchant had a big beard on his face, and he smelled so strong of spices that he couldn't get rid of. His eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Nuo.

Asba regretted it very much. When he first met Zhang Nuo, he thought he was a fool, because only a fool would spend two pennies to buy a bag of snacks from his Orchid.

But later, although the two of them didn't interact, he saw Zhang Nuo several times, and only then did he know that this "fool" who threw money at will was not only the owner of the restaurant that was thriving every day, but also the restaurant that had become popular all over the world. The owner of Zhang's Liquor in Chang'an!

Moreover, he also knew that Zhang's Bookstore, which was worshiped as a god by the scholars in Chang'an, was also the property of this little shopkeeper.

It’s not like I don’t know, it’s really scary when I calculate it, all of these are big money-making deals!

The most important thing is that Asba discovered that the shopkeeper Zhang seemed to be just a businessman, but opening a shop in Chang'an City was still the most profitable business, but no one dared to come to make trouble, even the most courageous low-level Officials and rangers in the market also keep a respectful distance from these industries.

What does this mean?This means that this master has a big background, so big that no one dares to mess with him!

This also made Asba understand that when dealing with this master, it is best to be honest and not play tricks, and maybe you can get a fortune like before.

It's a pity that the noble person he was thinking of had disappeared as if he had disappeared, and he had never been able to see him. If it weren't for the fact that these properties were still booming, he would have thought that something happened to this master.

Today, after being notified by the clerk of Zhang's Restaurant, he ran over almost immediately, still excitedly thanking Allah for blessings on the way, and finally it was his turn for Asparta to develop.

Seeing this master now, Asba quickly stood up and saluted with his right hand on his chest,

"May Allah bless you, honored guest! Greetings from Asba!"

Zhang Nuo also bowed slightly in return, then said with a smile,

"Aspar, come in, let's sit down and talk, I want to talk to you about a big deal!"

Asba hurried over and followed Zhang Nuo to the inner room. The inner room was specially used for business talks with big customers. Although it could not be completely soundproof, it was at least somewhat private.

Just looking at this situation, Asba's eyes lit up. It seems that this is a real big business. I don't know how much money he can make this time. Asba is looking forward to it.

After the two sat down respectively, Zhang Nuo directly took out a glass marble and put it in front of Asba and said,

"Three-color glazed ball, take a closer look, how much do you think a ball is suitable for?"

Asba was attracted by the things in front of him almost instantly, oh my god, how could there be such a round glass ball in this world, the key is that you can clearly see the leaves of three different colors inside.

This is simply a rare treasure. As long as he returns to his homeland Rome with this three-color glazed ball, he will definitely make a fortune. Those gentlemen like this exquisite glazed ball the most.

Asba was about to quote a high price to win this rare treasure in one fell swoop, but before he opened his mouth, seeing Zhang Nuo's calm face, he suddenly had an idea, and instead asked cautiously,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, these three-color glazed balls are indeed rare treasures, but there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that rare things are valuable. I wonder how many such treasures you have here?"

Zhang Nuo looked at Asba meaningfully, and Asba quickly smiled obsequiously, and cupped his hands deliberately.

Zhang Nuo originally didn't intend to sell only one pill. Since the matter will be known to Asba sooner or later, it's better to directly reveal it, so Zhang Nuo said directly,

"This thing, I'll give you as much as you want, so you should carefully consider the price! Pay for it and deliver it, none of us will regret it!"

When Asba heard the news, he was not as angry as Zhang Nuo originally thought. Instead, he stood up in surprise and asked nervously,

"Treasurer Zhang, is this true? As much as I want, you have as much here, can we keep trading?"

Chapter 185 Asba's Business Experience

Obviously, this fan merchant named Asba is different from the traditional Tang merchants in thinking.

If it is an ordinary Datang merchant, after seeing such a treasure, the first thought is to buy it, or find other ways to get it.And when they know that there are many such treasures, they must treat them as if they are worthless, and feel that this business is not going well.

Zhang Nuo's previous idea was actually to make a lot of quick money from Asba, but now seeing this attitude, he suddenly became a little interested.
