Chapter 199 Life of eating dog food

After saying that, the boy made a thoughtful recommendation, "If you want to eat hotpot, Jia Changlou opened two streets away. The taste is no worse than the other side, and the price is more reasonable than the other side. It has only been open a few days, and there are still discounts!"

After saying that, Xuan Cang gave the boy a small piece of broken silver. The boy happily took it, bowed and left. Before leaving, he said diligently: "What else do you need, noble man? Ring the bell at the door. The little boy will be the first." Come time."

After the tea boy left, Qin Shuhuang asked his bodyguard to go to the restaurant opposite to buy a pot and deliver it.

Not long after, the guard came back carrying a food box.

The guard exaggerated: "Your Highness, the price has increased by [-]% compared to before the flood! There is an additional charge for food boxes."

Qin Shuhuang sneered. It seemed that Bai Lingge and the Gu family were short of money and ruthlessness.

The guard placed the pots in the food box on the table, put aside the various dishes to be cooked, and finally took out two bowls of rice.

Qin Shuhuang pointed to the position opposite him, "Xuan Cang, come and taste it with me."

Along with the charcoal fire, the pot began to gurgle.

Xuan Cang sat opposite Qin Shuhuang as he was told, and after the pot boiled, he put the various dishes next to him into the pot.

When it was almost cooked, Xuan Cang picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.

As soon as the piece of meat entered his mouth, Xuan Cang spit it out into the empty bowl next to him before chewing it.

He frowned and said, "Your Highness, please don't eat it. The meat has gone bad and will make you upset. If you want to eat pot, I will accompany you to the restaurant that the boy just mentioned to try it."

Qin Shuhuang was surprised that Bai Lingge was really trying to make money, and he could even sell spoiled meat for takeout.

She picked up the chopsticks on the side and looked at the meat and vegetables that went with the hot pot. She picked up a few plates of meat and smelled them, and finally looked at the rice.

There were more or less problems with the meat. The most serious one was the one that Xuan Cang had just put into the hot pot. It had been left there for a long time and had the worst smell. It didn't even cover up the strong taste of the hot pot.

The vegetables are not fresh, and the rice is old. If you look closely, you can see rice worms that have not been picked cleanly.

Qin Shuhuang ordered, "Pack these away and throw them together with the food boxes at the door of the restaurant."

The guards quickly packed up the pots and left with the food boxes.

When Qin Shuhuang left the bookstore in a carriage, a large number of people had gathered at the entrance of Bai Lingge's restaurant. The guards smashed food all over the floor at the entrance. The onlookers could tell at a glance that there was still some food left in the pot. The food was not fresh, and there were people who had problems eating in the restaurant during this period. No matter how long the shopkeeper was, he couldn't explain it clearly.

There was probably a guy from the newly opened hotpot restaurant in the crowd who was setting the pace. After a while, this group of people rushed into the restaurant and smashed it up.

Qin Shuhuang diverted to the newly opened restaurant that the boy said and brought a portion of the pot back home.

After returning home, Qin Shuhuang asked Lu Zhou to send people to keep an eye on Bai Lingge's restaurant. If Bai Lingge changed hands at the lowest price, Lu Zhou would buy it secretly.

Ruihe has already prepared the pot that Qin Shuhuang brought back.

Qin Shuhuang frowned and shook his head after tasting it.

Ruihe took the chopsticks and tasted it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness's newly opened restaurant that sells pots doesn't taste as good as the restaurant opened by the Gu family!"

He spoke too quickly. After finishing speaking, Ruihe realized that he had said the wrong thing and glanced at Qin Shuhuang uneasily.

Qin Shuhuang was helpless and said with a smile: "What you said is right. What are you afraid of? The taste is indeed not as good as Bai Lingge's restaurant."

The method of eating the side oven has actually been around since the previous dynasty. The method is convenient, but it is difficult to make it delicious and distinctive.

This newly opened restaurant was jealous of the money earned by Lingge Restaurant, so they followed suit.

I only learned the form, but not the real recipe.

Although the business is good now, it is because the food is fresh and the food is fresh. After all, the ingredients are fresh, and it is more sincere than Bai Lingge's restaurant. But over time, it will lose its uniqueness and it will be difficult to keep it open for a long time.

This hot pot business seems simple and not difficult to do. As soon as Bai Lingge's restaurant closes down, there will be many restaurants of this type in Beijing, and the hot pot business will become more and more difficult. At that time, only Restaurants that really taste good can survive.

Seeing His Highness say this, Ruihe laughed easily, "Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness. Today I received something from Aunt Su. It contains the chili peppers that Your Highness mentioned. Would you like to try it with this chili pepper?"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Su had already sent the chili peppers.

Qin Shuhuang was pleasantly surprised and ordered Ruihe to remove the pot he brought back, and then asked someone to bring the chili peppers.With this chili, spicy pot has a soul.

Aunt Su sent a lot of peppers, two big bags full, and she said she bought them from Hu Shang. Hu Shang said that this is a poisonous plant, but it can be grown as a bonsai.

Aunt Su exchanged two bags of polished rice with Hu Shang for these peppers.

Qin Shuhuang took a small half of the frame and asked Lu Zhou to keep the rest and send them to Zhuangzi to plant them all in the spring of next year.

Qin Shuhuang smiled and said to the people around him: "Today I will show you a truly delicious pot."

Of course, Qin Shuhuang doesn't know how to do it by herself. Her craftsmanship is really not that good.

She directed Shilan Shiyu from the side and told them the method, and Shilan Shiyu took action.

An hour later, the fragrant butter and spicy hot pot is ready.

Considering that Xie Xuanye's condition had just improved and he couldn't eat spicy food, he asked Shiyu to make a light mushroom pot base.

During dinner, Qin Shuhuang asked Ruimiao to call Song Yuan and Ye Zi, and asked Ruihe to take people to deliver pots to the guards captains and Xie Dian.

Tonight, the two mansions will eat spicy pot together.

At this time in late autumn, we gather together in the flower hall to eat hot pot, the heat is thick, drink two glasses of osmanthus wine, and talk. This is a peaceful and comfortable day.

Xie Xuanye saw everyone sucking in the spicy hot pot, and his ears and mouth were red from the spicy food, but he still couldn't stop using his chopsticks. He glanced at the spicy hot pot and couldn't help but swallow.

Qin Shuhuang saw it funny, so he put a piece of beef cooked in a spicy pot into Xie Xuanye's bowl.

"My lord, let's try it too."

Xie Xuanye was a little hesitant. Qin Shuhuang had previously told him to eat lightly during this period and not eat stimulating food.

Song Yuan said, "My lord, it's okay to take a bite or two."

After Song Yuan spoke, Xie Xuanye picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat Qin Shuhuang gave him to his mouth. Thinking that Qin Shuhuang used her chopsticks to pick up this piece of meat, and before eating it, Xie Xuanye's ears were already slightly red. .

After eating this piece of meat in one bite, it tasted fresh, spicy and numb. When I swallowed it, the overbearing taste was still in my mouth.

The spicy pots made by Qin Shuhuang are more powerful and unforgettable than those sold in Bai Lingge Restaurant.

Xie Xuanye likes sweets and can't tolerate spicy food.

This spicy pot tastes good and overpowering, but it is not something he, a person who cannot eat spicy food, can digest at once. One bite of beef made his mouth feel hot from the spicy food. He subconsciously wanted to find water to drink, but he saw a half-drunk bowl next to him. He picked up the tea cup and drank it.

When he felt better in his mouth, he put down the tea cup and realized that the cup of tea belonged to Qin Shuhuang.

Next to him, Qin Shuhuang asked: "Your Majesty, is my tea delicious?"

Xie Xuanye forced himself to calm down, coughed, and replied, "Not bad." However, his red ears and neck could not be covered.

It was rare for the older Song Yuan to eat such a delicious pot. He drank and ate the pot, enjoying himself alone. The interactions between Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye opposite him were all the accompaniments for him to drink and eat the pot. Not embarrassed, still smiling.

Ye Zi, who was still a young girl, wanted to bury her red face in the bowl at this time.

In the past, when her parents were at home, she would just eat their dog food every day. Why was she forced to eat the dog food of His Highness and the Prince when she came to the side of the eldest princess?

If the pot hadn't been so delicious, she would have been full by now.

The eldest princess's residence was full of joy, but the regent's residence was as quiet as an ice cave.

In the main courtyard of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Qin Wei strode in. The Princess Regent immediately greeted him with a smile, "Your Majesty is back."

The Prince Regent glanced at the Princess Regent, "How are things arranged?"

The Princess Regent helped the Prince Regent take off his cloak and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Concubine Liu Gui has already agreed that she will not stop the fifth princess from getting married. She will also help persuade the fifth princess to discuss the marriage tomorrow morning." Your Majesty, everything will go well!"
