Chapter 1076: Meat Sandwich and Burger
After listening to the words of Comrade Lao Li and Empress Changsun, Zhang Nan did not wonder why the two thought so, comparing foreign sandwiches and hamburgers and other foods, there is also a saying that originated in China such as meat sandwich buns.
Besides, this is Chang'an City, the base camp of meat sandwich buns, so it is not very strange that Comrade Lao Li and Empress Changsun would think so.
After all, judging from the appearance, it is indeed not very different.
According to historical records, cured meat was called "cold meat" during the Warring States period, and South Korea, which was located in the Qin-Jin-Henan triangle at that time, was able to make bacon meat, and after Qin destroyed Han, the production process was transmitted to Chang'an. The restaurant in Wenchang Gate is named Qinyu Meat Sandwich Bun, which metaphorically means that it is an authentic bacon meat shop.
The origin of the meat bun is much earlier than the burger.
"Your Majesty, it's not a question of what it's called, you can treat this as an improved meat bun." Zhang Nan said. In fact, even Zhang Nan himself is very inclined to the theory that this hamburger originated in China.
"It's obviously a meat bun, and you have to make so many famous halls, this is not a bacon meat bun, this meat bun will lose its life, do you know?" Comrade Lao Li also commented.
As an authentic old Shaanxi, Comrade Lao Li has a special affection for meat sandwich buns.
Once upon a time, Zhang Nan was also strange, it was clearly a steamed bun with meat, why should it be called a steamed bun? Later, Zhang Nan learned that this thing used to be called meat sandwich bun, but Lao Shaanxi was in a hurry, and it became a meat sandwich bun when he screamed.
And Comrade Lao Li himself has eaten at least several thousand meat buns, which is the basic food of Lao Shaanxi, and bacon meat is the soul of meat buns.
So any meat bun without bacon is heretical.
Of course, Comrade Lao Li thinks so.
"Your Majesty, if you try it, you will know, this thing is not the same as bacon and pork buns, and the taste is not the same." Zhang Nan didn't want to get too entangled with Comrade Lao Li on the issue of meat buns, so he also asked Comrade Lao Li to eat quickly, so as to block Comrade Li's mouth.
After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Comrade Lao Li opened his mouth and sent him in.
After eating two or three bites, Comrade Lao Li said: "Qingquan, this thing is still not as delicious as the meat sandwich bun, I think you don't sell this, it definitely can't be sold, although the taste is good, but I think the people of Chang'an City definitely still prefer the meat sandwich bun." Comrade Lao Li said.
Zhang Nan also shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, after all, everyone's tastes are different, Comrade Lao Li doesn't like to eat hamburgers, it doesn't mean that others don't like it, and the same Zhang Nan can't force Comrade Lao Li, a loyal fan of meat sandwich buns, to become a fan of hamburgers.
"Qingquan, what is this thing?" As she spoke, Empress Eldest Sun pointed to the Portuguese egg tart not far away.
"This thing is called an egg tart, it is made of eggs and noodles, and the taste is sweet, you must like to eat it, Queen Mother." Zhang Nan also said with a smile.
Judging from Li Li's reaction to eating these things yesterday, the most popular among women is the Portuguese egg tart, which is fragrant and glutinous but can capture the hearts of girls, plus the egg tart itself is not big, and it will not taste as unsightly as gnawing on chicken wings, so Zhang Nan believes that Queen Changsun will definitely like it.
"Really? Taste it at this palace. As she spoke, Empress Eldest Sun took a piece of egg tart and put it in her mouth.
Soon, Empress Eldest Sun's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, which was very similar to when Li Lizhen ate the egg tart yesterday, and it was carved out of a mold at all.
Zhang Nan felt that the expressions and movements of the two were so similar, if you want to see if it is a mother and daughter, even the paternity test is omitted, this is definitely a mother and daughter.
"How does it taste?" Comrade Lao Li hadn't eaten yet, but asked Empress Changsun, who was already intoxicated by the taste of egg tarts and couldn't extricate herself.
"Your Majesty, it's so delicious, can we eat this every day in the future?" Empress Eldest Sun said with a satisfied face.
"Yes, it's definitely my own and I didn't run away." Zhang Nan also said silently in his heart.
"Is it really that delicious?" Comrade Lao Li said, and also sent a piece to his mouth.
"Well, I've decided, I'll just eat this for dessert after dinner in the future. Kiyoizumi, you leave the method of making this thing to the Imperial Dining Room. “
“……“
The meal was eaten for almost an hour, and Zhang Nan didn't eat a bite at all, everything was solved by Comrade Lao Li and Empress Changsun, there was not even a bit of scum left, and not even half a french fries were left for Zhang Nan.
The amount of food eaten by the two also shocked Zhang Nan.
Fortunately, Zhang Nan took a sip of the Coke in front of him at the beginning, otherwise Zhang Nan felt that if it weren't for his own sip, he might not even be able to keep his Coke.
"I know that Qingquan will not make a loss-making transaction, and if such delicacies are sold in Chang'an City, they will definitely be in the market." Comrade Lao Li said after wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
"By the way, Qingquan, how much does this meal cost? It's delicious, but if it's too expensive, I don't think many people will eat it. Empress Eldest Sun asked.
"This meal, my preliminary price is twenty Wen, and this price is still very fair." Zhang Nan said after thinking about it.
"Twenty wen, this is too cheap." After listening to Zhang Nan's offer, Comrade Lao Li also frowned and said that this price was simply beyond Comrade Li's expectations.
After all, Tang Baba is going to give Comrade Lao Li a share, so the less money he earns, the less money Comrade Li will share. Comrade Lao Li is still very concerned about the price.
"Your Majesty, twenty wen is not cheap anymore, does the emperor know what the price of rice is outside now?" Zhang Nan asked.
"As far as I know, the current Mi family has dropped to three dollars." After thinking about it, Comrade Lao Li said that although Comrade Lao Li stayed in the palace every day, Comrade Lao Li still knew in his heart the necessities of life, rice.
Because in recent years, the whole Datang has been in good weather, so the harvest is also very good, coupled with the promotion of greenhouse technology, and the planting of potatoes and corn, the entire Datang people will not be hungry, and the price of rice is also falling very fast.
"That's right, a bucket of rice is only three dollars, and this chicken is only the price of a bucket of rice, your Majesty, look at the meal you ate today, can you spell out a whole chicken?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Comrade Lao Li also reacted, not to mention a chicken today, even if he didn't eat half of it, except for chicken wings, the things used together are not enough for a chicken.
"So, the price of this meal is only about ten yuan, although our profit is only ten yuan or even less, but Your Majesty, do you know how many copies you can sell on this day."
