Chen Xu insisted on leaving and was unable to keep him, and the group of people was even more reluctant to leave, so they did not rush to say goodbye and left. They all expressed that they would arrange a banquet as soon as possible to farewell to Chen Xu and others.

"You don't need to spend so much money. Now you have all the ingredients. I am just a little bit of work. You can sit down for a while, and I will go to the kitchen first to arrange it!"

After a few chats, Chen Xu stood up and decided to get the food out first. After sunset, sitting on the balcony on the third floor to eat snails and beer... Well, mulberry wine is definitely a very pleasant enjoyment, and it is definitely much more comfortable than sitting in a closed room with the group of old men in front of him to eat and drink the so-called feast.

Moreover, this kind of enjoyment cannot be felt in Xianyang. Xianyang is too thick, with dry fields, vast plains, rolling mountains, Xianyang City, and a surging Wei River. It is cold and windy in winter and spring, hot and dry in summer and autumn. It is completely different from the delicate and elegant water towns like Yangzhou. The food is also very majestic. Buns, steamed buns, meat buns, and meat buns are the mainstream. People in the northwest are actually a little disgusted with the food that is picky and sucking the shells. They are actually too small to use for boring entertainment.

When Chen Xu went to the kitchen, Guangling County Magistrate and others naturally did not dare to sit in the lobby and wait. Instead, they followed him to the kitchen together, and then stood at the kitchen door, watching Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and wore the chef's clothes and turned into a standard chef, directing several chefs and a group of chefs to clean the snails and deal with fish and shrimps. While preparing various seasonings, they also stewed a pot of tremella seed soup.

After half an hour of busy life, Chen Xu was happy. The Guangling County Magistrate and other groups of people also watched with relish and did not feel bored at all. There was even an old man volunteered to put on his clothes and hat and help, and followed Chen Xu to learn to make these dishes in a stern manner.

Soon the sauce snails began. As a large pot of snails that had been processed were poured into the pot, the whole kitchen instantly filled with a pungent and spicy aroma. The stimulating people in the kitchen began to swallow their saliva, and the fragrance drifted out. Soon the entire kitchen was filled with people. These servants and maids of Shen Yuan stood on tiptoe and looked at the kitchen where the fragrance continued to overflow, and watched a young chef waving the spatula with a smile inside, looking at the look of contentment.

"This sauce is simple to make. Because there is less meat, it requires sufficient flavor. Therefore, it is necessary to put in enough ingredients. Both green onion, ginger, garlic, mustard and five-spice perilla sauce are essential. After stir-frying for half a moment, add water or broth, and stew for half a moment to dry the soup. Remember to cook thoroughly before eating. Please wash it at the beginning, otherwise there will be mud and sand inside..."

While busy, Chen Xu explained the cooking method to the onlookers and chefs. Along the way, it was not only the process of Chen Xu's inspection of the road and planning to travel around the mountains and rivers, but also the process of Chen Xu teaching chefs from all over the country to make delicious food step by step along the way.

Frying is simple, but after all, it has only been popular in Daqin for six or seven years, and it has gradually spread from Xianyang to Guangling, a small county town like a town, both ingredients, recipes and production methods, has become unrecognizable. Although almost every issue of the Daqin Metropolis Daily has specially introduced the production of a dish, except for the real rich ministers and some restaurants, there are not many people who study the production of delicious food, and they cannot learn it. The seasonings alone are not complete, and as the most important seasonings for cooking... oil is the biggest obstacle.

The first five-year plan is now in progress, and the iron pot implementation has achieved results. As long as it is not in extremely remote and poor areas, farmers have a iron pot at home, which has indeed greatly improved their eating habits. However, for ordinary families, they have only changed the method of making dishes. The taste is really not too much. In short, stir-frying is more convenient than cooking and stewing, and the taste is indeed better, but the degree of goodness is actually the same as the kind that Chen Xu ate in the employee canteen yesterday.

Although the leadership of the silk factory has its own cooking, the chef's level is not satisfactory. How much oil is used, how much vegetables are placed, and when to put on the seasonings such as green onions, ginger, garlic, mustard, etc. are all based on your mood.

Chen Yuan’s chef team is a little stronger, but in Chen Xu’s opinion, it is also very limited. He is best at traditional stewing and barbecue, but he adds more ingredients. As for the various dishes circulating in Xianyang, they are only famous for making them. A stir-fried waist flower can be made into boiled water, and a stir-fried green onion and fat intestines can be made into half a life. The hot eel slices can only be cooked, and the taste makes Chen Xu unable to swallow.

Although Chen Xu had just arrived in Guangling for only two days and only had one meal in Shenyuan, this meal and the taste of the county towns along the way were half a pound, which was a dark dish in the cooking industry. If it was placed in a takeaway shop in later generations, it would be the kind that would go bankrupt if it didn't cheat people for three days, and would live up to one week.

However, even the cooking that Chen Xu thought was completely unswallowed, these restaurants could still make a fortune in the local area. For example, Chenyuan is the largest restaurant in Guangling. It is very popular. Local wealthy businessmen must come here to appear high-end and sincere.

Because Chen Xu couldn't stand the various delicacies developed by himself, the originator of food, was ruined by these county restaurants. While traveling along the way, he personally cooked and prepared food to satisfy his and his family's appetite, and he also enjoyed teaching local chefs to learn authentic cooking methods on the spot.

An hour passed, and a large pot of snails of sauce, a pot of dried fried river shrimp, a pot of scallion eel slices, and a spicy lake crab were all cleaned up. Chen Xu also let go and lifted up his coat to wipe the sweat off his face. Just when everyone thought Chen Xu had finished work, Chen Xu washed a pot again and asked the kitchen staff to take out the cold rice, bacon, green beans, etc. he asked the chef to prepare when he left in the morning.

Looking at the half-basin of cold and hard rice and bacon and green beans, the group of people looked at each other.

"Mr. Marquis, the rice is already cold. Do you want to cook another pot of fresh rice?" Chen Kuan, the owner of Chen Garden, stood beside him and asked carefully.

"No, this delicacy of this delicacy in Hou is just about cold rice. It is best to be overnight. I will help me peel a pound of shrimp, ten eggs and a handful of fresh green onions..."

Chen Xu shook his head and ordered, and quickly cut a piece of washed bacon into diced meat with a knife. He then put the green beans in an iron pot and boiled them with water. After the eggs and green onions were delivered, he started to beat the eggs and cut the scallions, and added salt to mix them. Soon the shrimps were peeled and washed by a group of chefs, and all the ingredients were prepared.

Scall out the five-ripe green beans from the water and drain them.

Instruct the large pot to heat up, pour in small grind sesame oil after the pan is heated, put the bacon into it and stir-fry until the oil is warm, wait until the meat is fragrant and cooked, pour in the shrimps and continue stir-frying, wait until the shrimps turn red and put in the pan and serve.

Pour some sesame oil into the pot, add green beans and chopped green onions after heating, and then pour the stirred eggs into the pot. When the egg whites start to solidify, add cold rice and stir-fry quickly. After stir-frying the eggs and chop green beans and rice evenly, pour in the bacon shrimps that were taken from the pot in front and continue stir-frying. Soon, the fried rice with golden color with red shrimps and fat and lean meat grains appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Qinghehou making a basin of cold rice like this, the onlookers were surprised and excited, and they felt amused and laughed.

The rice is not worth it, not to mention shrimps and green beans, it is everywhere, but bacon eggs are definitely a luxury.

At present, one ounce of eggs on the market is equivalent to three pounds of grain, which is the food for ordinary people for three days. There are many people who can afford it, but most ordinary people are reluctant to eat it. They raise three or five old hens at home, and two or three eggs are deposited the same day during the egg laying season. They accumulate it and sell it for 20 or 30 yuan at the market. This is definitely a large income for poor families.

Chen Xu still remembers that when he was in elementary school, his daily living expenses were all dependent on several old hens at home. After laying eggs, his parents couldn't bear to eat them. They saved them and sold them to Chen Xu as living expenses. Occasionally, during winter and summer vacations, Chen Xu would sneak into the chicken coop and steal a few. He took them to the town and bought them to play games in the game hall. The tension and excitement and bitterness are hard to describe. His butt hurts because the old hen who had hatched eggs had been chased and pecked several times.

In Chen Xu's memory, except for silk and the Grand Canal in Yangzhou, the most famous food is the same, called Yangzhou Fried Rice.

It’s not delicious, but it’s definitely very famous. Compared with snacks from other parts of the country, it’s just an outlier because it’s just an egg...fried...rice.

To be able to make a fried rice dish of eggs into a national and even world-famous food, I have to admire the saving and stinginess of Yangzhou people.

The origin of Yangzhou fried rice is no longer evidenced, because egg fried rice is probably already appeared since the iron pot. When I left the hotel this morning, Chen Xu asked the maid to inform the kitchen to prepare these ingredients, and the task is now complete.

"Put the pot~" Chen Xu happily took a rice bowl after sweating, and put the fried Yangzhou fried rice into the rice bowl. Most of the basin was enough for more than ten people to eat.

There is no way, there are too many wives, concubines and children. A family meal is the cheapest, not 180 yuan, and it is impossible to get into the fields. If there are more than 500 servants who followed the guards, servants, coaches, etc., and the maintenance of horses and carriages, the expenses of accommodation, food, clothing, etc. for a day will cost more than 5,000 yuan, and the expenses of a month will exceed 150,000 yuan. In addition to the emperor, only a huge trench like Chen Xu can afford it.

Therefore, since ancient times, only emperors can do such things as going out, because the whole world is his. You can also recruit men along the way to open mountains, open roads, and build bridges to build palaces to ensure smooth journeys. This is also a place that many people criticize. It is not worth promoting the inspection of emperors who are tired of the people and money.

Qin Shihuang mobilized millions of prisoners and slaves to build the Great Wall, traveled to the road and tombs, and toured the world six times, demonstrating his power and virtue, but also made officials and people in various counties and counties miserable.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was also very talented and wise. He opened the canal, built dragon boats, moved the capital, and conquered Goryeo three times. He toured the world several times. He even brought more than 100,000 royal, princes, princes, and palace maids to the capital, and used millions of servants. The boats stretched for more than 200 miles. He had to provide food in advance within 500 miles of prefectures and counties. He was extremely extravagant and wanted to reach an outrageous level.

It is these two emperors who like to parade that are the most controversial in later generations.

But in Chen Xu's view, while these emperors cannot be erased, their practice of wasteful people and money is indeed not done by a wise king.
