Early in the morning, Zhuangji Grocery Store had a good income.
Although only two people were sold.
But the purchasing power of two people is really amazing.
But then.
After Changle and Changsun Chong left, nothing was sold.
Although Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey also invited people into the store.
But everyone just took a look and left.
And when they left, they all had very strange expressions on their faces.
Only then did Zhuang Zhou realize that his expectations seemed to be too high.
There’s no way!
Even good wine needs no bush!
You know the goods in your shop, they are all good stuff.
But no one can understand!
That’s all!
There is no business anyway.
So Zhuang Zhou returned to the backyard early.
Then he went into his room, locked the door, and opened the space-time door.
Then he returned to the modern rental house and ran to the community store as quickly as possible.
I bought a few packets of steamed meat powder and a bottle of Red Star Erguotou.
After leaving the convenience store, I went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some sweet potatoes.
He returned to the rental house as quickly as possible and then returned to Chang'an.
Then he calmly started to prepare lunch.
It's like nothing happened.
But only Zhuang Zhou knew how time-transcending this meal was.
Two big dishes are planned for lunch.
One braised pork ribs and one steamed pork with rice flour.
The first thing to do when making steamed pork with rice flour is to marinate it well.
I have to say, the local pork in Chang'an is really good.
The meat is much more delicious than modern pork.
First wash the ribs and marinate them with salt and cooking wine.
Add cornstarch and egg white, mix well and set aside.
Next, Zhuang Zhou began to prepare the seasoning for the steamed pork with rice flour.
He found a bowl, added the finished steamed meat powder directly into it and stirred it evenly.
Then he started preparing the steamer.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, cut into small pieces and place them at the bottom of the steamer.
Then place the mixed pork belly on top of the sweet potatoes.
After everything was ready, Zhuang Zhou put the steamer into the pot, covered the pot, and started steaming the meat.
Next, Zhuang Zhou began to prepare to roast the spare ribs.
Ma Xiaoling is not the head chef today, so she is mainly helping out.
And responsible for the fire.
This was in ancient times, and people only cooked by burning firewood.
But she was watching Zhuang Zhou's performance the whole time.
She never imagined that Mr. Zhuang could actually cook.
I was already shocked!
"These braised spareribs need to be blanched in cold water first to remove the blood and impurities."
"Then heat the pan with cold oil and fry the ribs until both sides are golden brown. Remove and set aside."
"Leave some oil in the pan, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant."
"Then add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and rock sugar and stir-fry evenly."
"Then continue to stir-fry the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and dried chilies."
"See? That's almost it. Add some water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low."
“…”
Zhuang Zhou said as he was frying.
When he turned around, he saw Ma Xiaoling staring at him in surprise.
It was like looking at an alien.
After all, in this era, it is important for gentlemen to stay away from the kitchen.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't care:
"Just remember all the steps. You will do it from now on."
"By the way, can you handle spicy food?"
“Is it spicy?”
Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a moment. In her opinion.
The spicy taste is the taste of ginger and garlic.
This should be fine.
“I can handle spicy food!”
"Okay! I'll get some chili sauce. This is the real kick!"
Ma Xiaoling hummed and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
The aroma of today's dish is the best she has ever tasted since she grew up.
The first time I smelled the fragrance.
It makes people drool!
…
"Zhuang's Grocery Store, this is it!"
"Wow! It smells so good!"
As soon as Li Er stepped into Zhuangji Grocery Store, he was attracted by the strong aroma of meat.
"Yaojin, do you smell it?"
Li Er turned around and glanced at Cheng Yaojin beside him. This guy had already stretched his nose and sniffed non-stop.
Cheng Yaojin was originally at home preparing to eat!
But who knew that he would receive an order from the emperor, asking him to accompany him to the West Market.
He said he was going to see some treasure.
Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to delay, so he put down the roasted lamb leg he had just taken a bite of and rushed over.
Now that I smell the aroma of meat, I can’t help it anymore.
"Welcome!"
Ma San saw two people walking in, one of whom looked gentle and refined.
The other one had a full beard and looked very tough.
Especially those eyes, which are as big as a cow's eyes.
The newcomer is a guest, so Ma San hurriedly greeted him:
"Please feel free to look around, my dear guests. We have many new and interesting things in our store."
Li Er took a quick look and found that the layout of this grocery store was indeed a bit strange.
But he didn't say anything and just walked around the store.
"Hey, that's Boss Zhuang!"
Cheng Yaojin asked carelessly.
"Our President Zhuang is cooking in the backyard. If you need anything, just tell us."
Cook?
A shop owner is going to cook?
What a weirdo!
At this time, Li Er suddenly asked:
"Do you have any lighters?"
"Yes! It's over here."
Now that two guests had finally arrived, Ma San personally stepped forward to introduce them:
"These are all lighters, which are the tinder sticks we use, but these lighters are much more convenient than tinder sticks."
