Chapter 1: Hidden in the city
It is impossible for an agent to hide in the morning, but it is a basic skill to hide in the city. A good agent is just an inconspicuous wave in the vast sea of people or a grain of dust...
-- "Agent Training Guide" nth edition in xxxx
Spring is warm, and King An Qin Liu Xi finished washing up as usual, stretched and yawned, and took his close servant A Nao to the street.
Now Emperor Duanshou is fifty-six years old, but he is still fierce and powerful, with golden branches and jade leaves born one by one. But I don’t know what happened, the woman is safe all the way, while only three boys keep the baby. King An Qin is the youngest of the three remaining princes, ranking thirteenth, so the whole palace of the King An Qin is called "thirteen thousand years old". However, he doesn’t shout like this in and out. King An Qin is smart and well-educated at a young age, and is deeply favored by the emperor. However, after a serious illness at the age of eight, he becomes dull. He often answers irresponsible questions in the face of the emperor and is gradually alienated. After becoming an adult, he is becoming more and more absurd. He is unruly in daily life and loves to make friends with the people of Xialiba. Other royal ministers avoid it, but secretly laugh at him and call him "thirteen absurd" one after another...
Walking in a daze on the spacious Zhuque Street, Liu Xi and his servants were like ordinary playboys and companions in Beijing. They were holding bird cages in one hand and eating candied haws in the other, glanced at the beautiful girl everywhere, or found a target, and a sharp whistle scared the other party to leave with face, and laughed happily... Everything was so ordinary in Prince Liu's eyes!
However, the conversation between the two people caught his attention:
"Where did you go just now? Did you see anything new?"
"Don't say it, I'm really seeing something fresh! Mingweifang has opened a new food shop, which is quite fresh..."
"You are already 'old Beijing', what's new about opening a home food shop?"
"Forget it! I can't tell you clearly, just go and take a look! It's called 'Taotie'..."
Liu Xi was not interested in listening any more, so he turned his head and said to Xiaonuo: "Go! Go and take a look..." Without Xiaonuo's answer, he walked towards Mingweifang.
Shangjing is divided into two parts: east and west by Zhuque Street. The commercial area is called the city and the residential area is called the fang. The city is separated. The city is separated. Mingweifang is the only city in the fang, which is equivalent to the current food street.
The master and servant walked to Mingweifang. Standing far away from the gate, they saw a food shop surrounded by a large number of people. This is very surprising: The Daxia Dynasty is accustomed to two meals a day, and the capital is prosperous and the people are rich, so most people like to eat less late supper at night. There are very few food shops that open in the morning, and it is even rare for business to be prosperous even if they open the door. Liu Xi guessed in his heart: "This is the one, right?" He walked forward and the black lacquer plaque on the front of the food shop had the two big words "Taotie".
The two of them rushed into the crowd and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen who was not very handsome and a little fat, talking happily: "The Taotie is an ancient divine beast who is born to love delicious food, so this shop is named after this. This shop is open for three consecutive days, breakfast at Mao, lunch at noon, dinner at You, and closing at Hai..."
Liu Xi heard him say something, and she winked at Xiaonuo next to her. Xiaonuo knew it and then started to cheer: "Then what else is there in your food shop besides a few breakfast?"
The young man didn't look at Xiao Nao, and looked at Liu Xi with a smile. Liu Xi was shocked: "This person's eyes are so poisonous!" Then he answered: "I am the only one in the shop, the boss and the chef. You guys are the guest-starring guys to get food... These are just because I lack capital and can't hire anyone! Ha~" He smiled mockingly before saying, "My kitchen and the hall are connected, you can observe at will! You can also learn skills, and in your spare time, you can tell you a book or interesting food..."
The crowd surrounded him suddenly became a thriller - it turned out that the chefs in Daxia were passed down from generation to generation, and they were passed down from sons but not daughters. They often used handmade dishes as secret recipes and treasured themselves. They regarded the kitchen space for their own forbidden areas and never allowed others to enter. Today, this young man was free to watch, and it can be said that the chefs in the world are so terrible! Compared to this, the subsequent entertainment programs are too common, just a means to gather popularity...
Liu Xi looked at the man with interest and said calmly: "Do you do this gimmick? Let the man go in and cook two dishes. If you don't like it, you should close the door as soon as possible!"
Some people in the neighborhood recognized this famous "Thirteen Ridiculous" and knew that this person loved the market habits the most, so they followed suit. The boss was not upset when he saw this. He smiled and let everyone in, tied an apron, picked out the ingredients, and started to be busy with the pot and spoon...
Liu Xigui was the prince and was usually pampered and knowledgeable. Seeing the owner of the food shop, he lifted the knife and took a shovel and picked a spoon. He was very skillful and said, "There is ingredients!" After a while, the food in the hall was filled with fragrance, and Xiaonuo next to him could no longer help but suck his nose a few times...
After a moment, eight dishes were served, green, fat, red and thin, very beautiful!
Everyone picked up the chopsticks and prepared to have a feast, but one of the neighbors knew that the prince was respectful, so they just waited for Liu Xi to get the chopsticks...
Liu Xi calmly rushes to chopsticks, but the boss smiled beside him and said, "I have a lot of land in Daxia, and the tastes are different from different places. I specially selected representatives of eight cuisines to form a squash, called the "Eight Immortals Gathering"!" He pointed out one by one, "This is Shandong cuisine candy and crispy carp. Shandong cuisine is composed of two local flavors: Jinan and Jiaodong. It is characterized by strong flavor, love for onions and garlic, especially for cooking seafood, soups and various animal offals. This is Sichuan cuisine Gongbao chicken, Sichuan cuisine has two schools, Chengdu and Chongqing, known for its rich flavor, wide flavor, thick flavor, and strong flavor. This is Huaiyang cuisine lion head. Huaiyang cuisine cooking

This is the beggar chicken in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, which is fresh, tender, soft, mellow, glutinous, refreshing and not greasy. This is Cantonese salt?

This is the gourd duck of Anhui cuisine, which uses ham to complement the flavor, rock sugar to enhance freshness, is good at stewing, and pays attention to the fireworks..."
After tasting eight dishes, Liu Xi closed his eyes and said nothing. The people next to him did not dare to disturb him, so he had to secretly pick up a few chopsticks, and immediately exclaimed...
Liu Xi opened his eyes for a while: "Boss, your surname is your boss?"
The boss had long known from the conversation between the people next to him that this person is noble and did not dare to neglect: "I dare not, villain Wang Sanfan!"
Liu Xi nodded and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, come and support you again the next day! Your shop will definitely become famous in the capital!" Before Wang Sanfan could react, he left with his follower Xiao Nuo.
Only then did the neighbors reveal Liu Xi's identity, and praised Wang Sanfan for his superb cooking skills and his help from noble people. This time, he will definitely make money every day!
Wang Sanfan was filled with joy on his face and was polite to them. However, he complained in his heart: "I am so miserable now! I was so excited for a while, and I showed my hand and got in touch with the prince! Isn't this the focus yet? Why are you still hiding? The prince is too! Why are you joining in the fun? Humph! I will definitely hit you hard next time!"
