Luanzhou City is still too small after all, although the scenery is pleasant, but for a family that needs to develop, there are so many opportunities missing. Fortunately, Luanzhou City belongs to Luoyang City, although it is not very close to Luoyang, but it is definitely not far, and some carriages can be reached in less than two days by taking the official road. Luoyang City is called the eastern capital, is the capital of the late Sui Dynasty, the first year of the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was built, the south is to Yique, the north is according to the mountain, it is the Tang Dynasty in addition to the national capital Chang'an another political zhì, economic center, but also the southeast through the Jiangdu, Taihu Lake, Zhejiang, the northeast through Shandong, Zhuo County, the west through the Grand Canal traffic center of Chang'an. Luoyang City in the Tang Dynasty was a metropolis that was definitely not inferior to the capital Chang'an, and it was also a transportation center connecting the north, south, east and west, and commerce was bound to be prosperous. Originally, Xia Hongsheng planned to open the snack city in Luanzhou, and then transfer to Luoyang City after he had some savings. However, if Yan Shigu and the three of them can use this method of salt making to get some rewards for themselves, I heard that they are going to read the book, it must be for the emperor to see, this emperor's reward, how can it not be too stingy, right? Therefore, it is estimated that this step of capital accumulation in the early stage can be directly crossed, and then those rewards are exchanged for money and go directly to Luoyang City for the whole land, build a snack city, train a group of people, and then disperse to various windows, well, maybe the Luoyang people in later generations can also excavate the remains of the snack city and scare them, haha!

Xia Hongsheng fantasized about a better life in the future, looking forward to more rewards, a few thousand yuan or something, and immediately turned into a local tyrant in the Tang Dynasty, and lived the life of eating and waiting for death as soon as possible.

"By the way, Senior Brother Xia, I want to ask you for a favor for my brother, I don't know if you are willing." Xia Hongsheng was fantasizing, but was interrupted by Xu Qixian, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Qixian's face a little embarrassed.

Smiling, Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "Just say it, you and my brother, what are you polite." ”

"Well, that's right, my uncle's family came here once a year, and several younger brothers and sisters are young, and I, as an elder brother, also want to invite my uncle and aunt and these younger brothers and sisters to eat something delicious. Although the cook at home has learned a lot of novel food from you, it still lacks a taste compared to what you make. I would like to ask Senior Brother Xia to do some in person, so that my uncle and aunt, and those younger brothers and sisters can taste it. Xu Qixian scratched his head very embarrassedly and said, "I just have to trouble Senior Brother Xia, Senior Brother Xia is a scholar after all......"

"Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the more angry you become." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand again and again: "I am a Shengdou small people, what kind of scholar is not a scholar, Brother Xu, you and I are like brothers, Uncle Xu also treats me very well, my junior used to manage a table of food, it should be, and what hinders my identity." That being the case, I'm idle in the afternoon anyway, so let's go, Master Yan and them, hehe, it is estimated that they won't be able to return to the academy for a while. When I wanted to come to Master Yan to take you out, I had already greeted Shizun, right? ”

"The master has agreed that I will not have to go to school for the next two days." Xu Qixian nodded: "It's just Senior Brother Xia, what are you going to do?" I think the braised pork is good......"

Xia Hongsheng smiled and watched Xu Qixian list the delicacies he had eaten from himself, and the two walked to the market together.

Xu Qixian has always taken good care of Xia Hongsheng, if it weren't for Xu Qixian's care, with the original Xia Hongsheng's stuffy gourd's wooden appearance, I am afraid that he would be bullied in the academy. And Xu Qixian also knows the situation in his little brother's family, so he always helps more. These memories are still there in Xia Hongsheng now, this is love, and if it is love, it will be repaid, so going to be a chef for him for free is not considered to damage his identity and face. What's more, I came from the next generation, there is no concept of identity or identity, what happened to the next kitchen, I have been in the kitchen countless times in the later life, how can there be those sour problems of scholars in ancient times.

Xia Hongsheng didn't think so, but Xu Qixian felt very guilty, although Xia Hongsheng had a new understanding of the gentleman's cooking, but that concept still couldn't be changed for a while, and he always felt that letting Xia Hongsheng go to his own house to cook a table of dishes in the kitchen like a subordinate would damage Xia Hongsheng's identity and face. On the way, he regretted it several times and didn't let Xia Hongsheng do it, but he was vetoed by Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng selected a lot of vegetables from the market, and went to the butcher to cut mutton and pork, all kinds of things, he just selected the report, and the little guy in the back paid the money and let those vendors send it to Xufuzhong.

Back to Xu Qixian's house, Xia Hongsheng took the soaphorn and washed his hands, pulled up his sleeves, and went into the cook, Xu Qixian followed in to make a big move, and was ridiculed by Xia Hongsheng and drove out, leaving only those few cooks down to help him choose vegetables and cut vegetables, after all, he is an amateur, and the knife work is not good.

The chefs of large families have hot drawers in them, and they don't worry about the meals made early becoming cold and flavorful, and there are not many types of vegetables and vegetables, so the patterns that can be cooked are also limited. It's just a family banquet, it's enough to taste good, and there is no need for so many tricks.

One afternoon, there was a smell of aroma around the kitchen of Xufu, and every time the maids in Xufu passed in front of the kitchen, they had to stop and stay for a while, sniff hard, and inhale those tempting aromas a few more times, even if they can't eat, it is good to smell more.

Xu Qixian has been here several times, and he is shy and trying to eat a few bites in advance, so he has found a good reason, saying that he can recommend it to his family according to his taste after he has tasted it. Of course, the result was that Xia Hongsheng casually threw him a braised pig's trotters to gnaw on to satisfy his hunger, and then blasted it out.

Finally, all the dishes went into the hot drawer, and only the last one remained, it was not tonight's dish, it was Xia Hongsheng who took the opportunity to make a pot of braised pork, and taught the cook, so that he could make pork conveniently in the future - since the last time he ate those porks at his house, the people of the Xu family fell in love with this fragrant and mellow meat.

The marinade in the pot kept tumbling, and the pork bones left over after cooking were tumbling inside, and the taste had come out, and the aroma of braised pork diffused all over the courtyard.

Fished out a few pork bones from the pot and gave them to the cooks to gnaw, Xia Hongsheng also fished out two of them, slipped out of the kitchen, and sat on the stone pier outside the kitchen yard to rest. His body is not open yet, he is not tall, and it is actually very uncomfortable to cook.

After sitting down, there was no one left and right, and he was about to put the pork bone in his hand into his mouth, when in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of a hair ball sticking out from behind the wall next to him, and at a glance he knew that there was a child hiding behind the wall. Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes and looked over, and as soon as he looked over, he looked at a little girl who stuck her head out from behind the wall. The little girl was frightened, and at once she retracted her head.

"I saw you, come here if you want to eat." Xia Hongsheng smiled and shouted behind the wall over there.

After a while, I saw a small figure walking out from behind the wall, tidied up some clothes, deliberately made a very big appearance, and walked to Xia Hongsheng. The little girl pretended to be calm, but unfortunately the frightened and nervous fawn-like eyes betrayed her.

"Ahem, this ...... What's going on here? It smells so good! The little girl's voice was crisp and beautiful, like a jade bead falling on a plate. She forced herself to be calm, as if she didn't care about asking casually, but the nose that twitched gently involuntarily, and the neck that subconsciously made a swallowing motion, betrayed her again.

Looking at her nervous and pretending to be calm, Xia Hongsheng snorted and smiled, and then handed the pork bone in his hand to her: "Just cook this, it's delicious, taste it?" ”

The little girl's eyes naturally fell on the pork bone in Xia Hongsheng's hand, and she was immediately attracted, and there was a tempting aroma of meat on it, which made the little girl swallow her saliva.

"I ...... Ahem, I don't eat it, it's full of oil! Mother said that a woman can't be covered with oil, she needs to be quiet and elegant, so I won't eat it! The little girl looked away from the bone with great difficulty and shook her head. However, the action of swallowing saliva is more frequent.

The mouth says not to eat, but the body is very honest! Xia Hongsheng looked at the little girl who kept swallowing saliva, and laughed: "Little girl, if you don't eat it, I'm going to eat it!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted a pork bone and put it up to bite and tear it, a large piece of meat came down, swallowed it in his mouth, chewed a few times and it was rotten, swallowed and left a fragrant mouth, sticky but not greasy, fragrant and delicious.

"I'm not a little girl, I'm the eldest lady of the Xu family!" Hearing Xia Hongsheng call herself a little girl, the little girl suddenly became dissatisfied, pouted and put up a shelf, and Xia Hongsheng, who watched it, couldn't help but laugh. But I heard the little girl say again: "Besides, you don't look big!" ”

Xia Hongsheng ignored her, gnawed on the pork bones in his hand, and made bursts of delicious sounds from time to time, and the little girl was very greedy.

"Why are you so rude? Eating makes a sound! The little girl took a step back and said to Xia Hongsheng.

Looking at her little adult appearance, Xia Hongsheng wanted to tease her: "Who said that, obviously you want to eat it too much, so the sound made by your stomach growling, why is it on my head?!" ”

"I didn't! Woo...... "The little girl protested solemnly, but with one mouth, Xia Hongsheng stuffed another pork bone into it.

Xiangnong suddenly overflowed into her mouth, and the little girl hurriedly raised her hand to hold it: "You!" …… Whew, it smells so good! ”

"A little fart, what kind of little adult is it, haha, eat it! Wash your hands after eating, and don't tell others, your mother won't know! Xia Hongsheng smiled proudly and continued to gnaw on the pork bone in his hand.

The little girl wanted to refute, but the taste of the pork bones was too delicious, and after tasting it at the moment, she couldn't help it anymore. So he carefully pinched the fingertips, gently tore off the strips of meat from the top and put them in his mouth.

"It's delicious!" The little girl's happy eyes became crooked.

Xia Hongsheng looked at the little girl's happy appearance, and also laughed, and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

"I'm not a little girl!" The little girl protested solemnly again, just a mouthful of oil and water, which looked very funny: "My name is Xu Hui!" ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes widened.

Now it seems to be the first year of Zhenguan, right?

Maybe it's not the same person as you think.
