Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 5

Haifeng was naturally not a place of residence for the ancients, and the people who came here were not willing to set foot on this land at all, except for the local merchants who bought mountain goods.

From Shen Kuohai's point of view, the young man in front of him must have a problem in his family, and he had no choice but to come to this wild place to seek opportunities like him, other than that, he couldn't think of any reason.

"Long admiration, long admiration! The old man Zhong Wancai has met Mr. Shen!" Old Zhong also bowed his hands and saluted. As an old housekeeper with decades of experience, he naturally had no problem dealing with such occasions. He pointed to Zhang Yi next to him and introduced: "This is my son!"

"Zhang Yi has seen Brother Shen!" Although he was a little suspicious of the behavior of the fat man in front of him, he was still speaking fluent Guanzhong dialect. Zhang Yi put down his guard, cupped his hands and did not answer his question. Pointing to the crowd behind, he said: "It seems that brother Shen has a good harvest today, but congratulations. I believe that whether it is fur or dried meat, it can be sold at a good price if it is shipped to Chang'an!"

When it came to doing business, Shen Kuohai immediately became elated, and slapped Zhang Yi's shoulder with a big slap from the cattail fan, hooking his shoulders and laughing: "The mere wealth and goods are not worth mentioning. How about going to my brother's place for a drink as soon as we see each other today?"

"Very good! There is nothing more joyful in life than meeting nectar after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, meeting Brother Shen today is indeed a revelation!" Zhang Yi followed Shen Kuohai into the carriage without hesitation.

Shen Kuohai's residence is actually a yard with three entrances and three exits by the east gate. The house is not tall but very spacious. Because it is convenient for storage, except for a few rooms, the other rooms have been transformed into warehouses or piled up with fur or wind. Dry goods seem to be only in order.

"Brother Zhang, Steward Zhong, please sit down!" After ordering the accountant to deal with the matter, Shen Kuohai brought over two plates of wild game and a pot of wine with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's a bit shabby in a foreign land, so another day Go back to Chang'an and brother will go to Lvliuzhai to make up for you!"

As he spoke, he poured wine all at once into the three thick bowls.

The dishes are delicious, pure natural musk meat, the meat is smooth in the mouth, but the taste is a bit unacceptable.

Boiled in salty and tasteless water, I don’t know what the black thing on the meat is. It smells disgusting. Zhang Yi spit it out after chewing a few times!

There is no way to eat it at all!

Looking at the old Zhong and Shen Fatty Zhang Yi who were eating with gusto, they knew they were wrong. Not to mention that in the era of the Tang Dynasty, even wealthy households couldn’t see meat every day. Oh, dare to think about the taste?As for beef and mutton, it is simply not affordable for ordinary families, not only because of status restrictions, even if you have money, there is no place to buy it!

So it's Shen Kuohai's fault that the meat tastes bad. Didn't Lao Zhong feel pain in his cheek when he saw the ground meat that had been chewed twice?

"But it's not to your taste?" Shen Kuohai immediately put down his chopsticks and asked concerned.

It’s indeed a little impolite, but it definitely takes a lot of courage to swallow the black meat in front of you. When you think of the unknown substance on the meat fermenting in the stomach and then digesting it with the minced meat, it becomes a pile The black and smelly paste made Zhang Yi's face more and more ugly.

Food doesn't have to taste good, but at least you have to be clean!
Is it possible that it just fits the sentence that you will not get sick if you eat it?

After struggling to spit out what was left in his mouth, Zhang Yicai said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Zhang really wasted his good intentions. Maybe it's because the environment is not acclimatized but he can't enjoy the delicious food. Why don't the little brother cook it in the afternoon?" How about using the imported seafood as an apology?"

I really didn't dare to move my chopsticks, so I made up an excuse and ran towards the kitchen.

Shen Kuohai fell into deep thought about Zhang Yi's explanation. Although most people are more or less unaccustomed to the environment, this situation will definitely not be what Zhang Yi is showing now. The situation Zhang Yi is showing is exactly It was the first time he ate bran pickles with his servants when he first entered the business world.

That was three years ago, and he still clearly remembers that the gagging expression at that time was exactly the same as Zhang Yi's now!
Old Zhong naturally wouldn't think so much, he is now worried about his young master with deep eyebrows furrowed, but he couldn't leave because of the honored guest before, so he picked up the sea bowl with a smile and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Shen's hospitality, the old man is my young master A toast to the young master!"

Seafood is a fresh word, whether it is fish or crabs, because they live in the sea all the year round, they have enough salt. The main purpose of adding shredded ginger is to better absorb the seafood. The umami taste is amplified so that people can have a beautiful effect in the taste.

I have to say that finding a piece of ginger in a place like Lingnan is simply a luxury idea. After communicating with the Baiyue cook in the kitchen for a long time, Zhang Yi didn't get what he wanted, so he had no choice but to After cleaning and dissecting the internal organs of the sea crab, put it directly in the steamer.

It's nothing more than a little ginger missing. It's not a big deal. When the steamer is steaming, a unique fresh fragrance comes out.

Then a huge sea crab appeared in Zhang Yi's hand, he broke off a pair of pliers and bit off the outer carapace, and a piece of crystal-like crab meat slipped into his mouth. The taste immediately conquered the taste buds.

Seeing Zhang Yi's delicious food, Chef Baiyue's saliva couldn't help but flow down his mouth, dragging it into a long silk thread, which was particularly eye-catching.

The one I hate the most is that other people feel uncomfortable. I tossed the remaining half of the crab in front of the cook and threw it into the hands of the chef. With the steamer into the lobby.

"Brother Lao Lao cooked the food himself!" Seeing Zhang Yi approaching, Shen Kuohai immediately got up and greeted him, reached out and took the steamer and put it on the table with a smile: "It's just that brother used this method to escape from drinking, it should be punished with alcohol! "

Zhang Yi felt that the bird-flavored liquid that faded like fermented glutinous rice had a little wine smell, and felt that its name should be called a drink. Under the dumbfounded eyes of Shen Kuohai and Lao Zhong, a large bowl of wine entered his stomach.

"One more bowl!" The sweet and sour taste made Zhang Yi feel that this kind of drink is very suitable for him. In his previous life, he liked to drink some low-alcohol drinks, but he didn't expect Datang's wine to taste so good.

"Master, why don't you eat some vegetables first to pad your stomach?" Lao Zhong was a little worried about Zhang Yi's health and hurried to comfort him.
