Zhang Shixun, a music major graduate, transmigrated to the Great Song Dynasty. Relying on his golden finger and superb talent, he rose rapidly in the capital. Gao Yan Nei became his follower; Li Sh...

Chapter 20 Next Steps

"Let me go." Wang Dong pushed him away with all his strength, his face flushed, "I'm not your gay friend. If you dare to hug me again, I'll have Bai Wuchang rip your arm off."

"Old Wang, you disgust me." Zhang Shixun quickly loosened his arms and took a step back. "Old Wang, it was clearly a hug between friends. How could you think of it so mean?"

"If a woman hugs me, I will accept it. But if it's a man, I will never accept it."

"You have a dirty heart." Zhang Shixun pointed at him and said, "Only people with dirty hearts would have such wild thoughts."

"Get lost!" Wang Dong rolled his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "We've settled down now. Just think about it and find a way to get me a farm outside the city."

"Build a farm?" Zhang Shixun looked at him in surprise. "Why?"

Wang Dong muttered to himself, "It's best to choose a place near the Yellow River... You know, the things I play with are quite dangerous, not suitable for playing in the city. If something goes wrong, boom, half the street is gone."

Zhang Shixun understood after hearing this.

The city is indeed not a suitable place to make gunpowder.

"Old Wang, buying a manor is not that simple. The land price in the capital is definitely not cheap, let alone a manor."

"Don't worry, I brought a lot of treasures anyway, so at most I can cheat a few more people."

"The problem is, apart from Gao Yanei, I don't know anyone else."

"That depends on you. You're an artistic young man, so you must be good at socializing. You must make friends as much as possible."

After Wang Dong finished speaking, he yawned loudly and said weakly, "I'm going to the backyard to get some sleep. Last night in Fanlou, there was a couple in the room next door who made quite a noise and I didn't sleep well."

The next day at noon, Zhang Shixun and his companion sat in the yard preparing to have breakfast.

Breakfast was made by Zhang Shixun... egg pancakes, which is a very common breakfast in later generations.

From childhood to adulthood, he has hardly ever cooked, and the only thing he can make is egg pancakes.

After traveling back to the Song Dynasty, I must learn how to cook, otherwise I will let my stomach down.

Just as the two were about to start eating, the door knocker rang, and Gao Yanei called out from outside, "Zhang Shixun! Are you home?"

Zhang Shixun put down his chopsticks, stood up and went to open the door.

"What are you doing at home all by yourself?" Gao Yanei walked in, fanning himself with a paper fan.

"Not one person, but two people. We were planning to have breakfast."

"Oh!" Gao Yanei staggered with every step. As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he sniffed fiercely, "What's that fragrant smell?"

Zhang Shixun pointed at the stone table but said nothing, praying in his heart that Gao Yanei was a polite and well-educated young man.

Gao Yanei quickly walked over to the stone table, nodded at Wang Dong, and plopped down on the stone bench. He sniffed and stared intently at the egg pancake on the table. "What is this? It's so beautiful and golden! How come I've never seen anything like this before?"

It is not surprising. Although the catering industry was developed in the Song Dynasty, it was still in its early stages. Since Gao Yanei did not recognize this thing, it means that egg pancakes had not yet appeared.

"This is called egg pancake, or egg pancake for short." Zhang Shixun sat down on another stone bench.

"Where did you buy it?"

“I didn’t buy it, I made it myself.”

"You made it yourself. Can you cook?" Gao Yanei looked at Zhang Shixun suspiciously.

In that era, men did not cook, and Gao Yanei felt that Zhang Shixun was deceiving him.

"Believe it or not." Zhang Shixun was too lazy to explain to him.

Gao Yanei put the paper fan on the table, looked at the egg pancakes, and then at Zhang Shixun.

Zhang Shixun was annoyed by his staring. "Stop staring. Do you want to try it?"

"Can I taste it?" Gao Yanei's Adam's apple moved up and down and he swallowed his saliva.

"Of course... wipe your saliva first, it's disgusting."

As soon as Zhang Shixun finished speaking, Gao Yanei stretched out his hand, picked up an egg pancake, took a small bite, closed his eyes and tasted it, then rolled his big tongue and the whole egg pancake disappeared.

Zhang Shixun and Wang Dong looked at each other, and then looked at Gao Yanei in surprise.

This guy swallowed such a big pancake in one swipe of his tongue.

Only toads eat like this, right?

Gao Yanei smacked his lips, licked his tongue, and asked sheepishly, "Can I have another piece? I was so busy eating it just now that I didn't savor it carefully."

Damn, it’s clearly the same routine that Zhu Bajie used to eat the ginseng fruit.

"Please, young master!" Zhang Shixun smiled. "Eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, I'll make more."

Gao Yanei was overjoyed. He grabbed another pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, praising it incoherently while eating, "Delicious! It's so delicious."

He ate very quickly, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and the stack of egg pancakes was soon in his stomach.

Wang Dong sat aside sulking, and he only ate one.

Zhang Shixun didn't eat, he just watched.

Gao Yanei was still not satisfied. He looked at the empty plate, then at the two of them, feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry to bother you two. The egg pancakes made by Master Zhang are so delicious. I didn't realize... I just..."

"You're welcome. Since you like it, I'll make it now. It's not a big deal anyway." Zhang Shixun stood up and went back to the kitchen.

Everything was ready, so Zhang Shixun quickly fried another large plate and brought over a large pot of boiling water.

"Yanei, since you've already eaten, just eat your fill." Zhang Shixun picked up the chopsticks.

"Okay! You're welcome, brother."

"You've been rude for a long time, okay?" Wang Dong glared at him.

Gao Yanei chuckled twice, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. With the plate of pancakes as a base, he ate much better this time.
