"It's me. Who are you?"
When saying this, Zhuang Zhou didn't even look at Li Er.
Instead, he was busy preparing the braised pork ribs!
Because there are too many braised pork ribs today.
Zhuang Zhou prepared to boil one pot first and simmer the rest in the pot.
This scene made Cheng Yaojin very angry.
This is the current emperor!
You actually turned a blind eye.
But Li Er seemed not to care.
After all, he is the greatest emperor of all time!
This kind of tolerance and respect for the wise and humble is really strong.
"Boss Zhuang is so elegant! Why is he cooking by himself?"
"What's the big deal!"
Zhuang Zhou replied nonchalantly:
"Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!"
Li Er pondered over this sentence twice.
Nodding in affirmation.
Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing?
Well, that’s very well said.
Zhuang Zhou took all the ribs out of the pot and personally placed them on the stone table.
Only then did he carefully look at the person who came.
Just exchanged glances with Li Er.
I have a feeling that this person is not simple!
It is said that people's eyes can speak.
Especially those who have experienced many vicissitudes of life and have stories in their hearts.
You can often read a lot from their eyes.
This is what Zhuang Zhou is like now.
He could tell that the middle-aged man in front of him must be a man with a story.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Li Er bowed and smiled:
"My name is Qin Min. I heard that a new and unique grocery store has opened in the West Market of Chang'an, so I came to take a look."
"Oh, it's Brother Qin. Have you eaten? Let's eat together!"
Zhuang Zhou guessed that this person came to discuss business with him.
It was just dinner time, so more people would bring more pairs of chopsticks.
Li Er was also not afraid. He fought in many battles and was awarded the title of General Tiance, which was earned through real fighting.
Facing a fair-faced boy like Zhuang Zhou, he has Cheng Yaojin as his guard.
Li Er was even calmer:
"Okay! Then I won't be polite."
Li Er said this and was about to take a seat.
But who knows.
I only heard Zhuang Zhou shouting:
"Don't be so anxious! If you want to eat, come and wash your hands first."
At this time, Ma Xiaoling had already obtained hot water and the soap was already prepared.
"oh!"
Li Er was a little confused. This person was quite particular!
But when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so he had to come over and wash his hands.
"Don't just wash your hands, put some soap on them too."
"Soap?"
Li Er was puzzled. "What is this?"
"Wash your hands, sterilize and disinfect."
Zhuang Zhou said, and handed the soap over directly:
"Here, put some on your hands and then wash it off with water."
Li Er had no choice but to do as he was told, but he soon discovered.
After washing the hands with soap, they became very clean.
And it also has a special aroma.
My whole hand is still smooth.
Li Er washed his hands and asked Cheng Yaojin to wash his hands as well.
The guy was still a little reluctant, but Li Er gave him a look and he did it.
After washing their hands, Zhuang Zhou led the two of them to their seats.
At this time, Ma San and others felt embarrassed to sit down.
Even though Zhuang Zhou asked them to sit down and eat together.
But Ma San said that someone had to stay in the shop in front to watch over the store.
Zhuang Zhou knew what they were thinking. The concept of hierarchy in this era was ingrained in people's bones.
Since there were no outsiders around on weekdays, Zhuang Zhou naturally didn't say much to them.
But today there are distinguished guests at home, so they naturally have to be more sensible.
Zhuang Zhou didn't try to persuade him any further.
He asked Ma San, Shouhou and Panghu to directly serve a large bowl of rice, and asked them to put steamed pork with rice flour and braised spareribs in the pot.
The three guys filled a big bowl.
As for Ma Xiaoling, since she was a female member of the family, she also served herself some food and went back to the house to eat.
This scene made Li Er dumbfounded.
He never imagined that a boss like him would treat his own waiters in such a manner.
There is absolutely no distinction between high and low!
Cheng Yaojin was already so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
If Li Er hadn't winked at him and told him not to be impulsive, he would have beaten Zhuang Zhou on the spot.
But when he saw the food on the table, Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back at all.
The ribs on the table are soft and tasty, and the soup is thick.
The ribs are fragrant and bright red in color, which increases your appetite.
Cheng Yaojin kept swallowing his saliva.
"Come on! Two of you, try my cooking."
Only then did Mr. Zhuang invite the two of them to start eating.
But Li Er was obviously not like Cheng Yaojin, although he had also been very greedy for a long time.
But after all, you still have to pay attention to your manners.
Cheng Yaojin is different.
He is a rough man to begin with, and now he is eating out.
It was natural for him to test the poison for the emperor.
So!
He picked up the chopsticks and put a large piece of pork ribs into his mouth:
"Hiss~~~ Oh no! This food is poisonous!"
"Clang~~"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed it directly on Zhuang Zhou's neck.
Oh shit!
Zhuang Zhou was suddenly startled and scared to death:
"what?"
"Tell me, what did you add to this dish? Hiss~~~"
Cheng Yaojin's cheeks and ears were already red at this time.
There were tears in his eyes.
An indescribable feeling of excitement was running around in my mouth.
"No! I didn't add anything!"
Li Er saw Cheng Yaojin's actions and asked hurriedly:
"A Chou, what's wrong?"
"There's a strange spicy taste in this dish. Hiss~~~ So spicy~"
Zhuang Zhou then remembered that this guy was spicy because of the chili pepper.
I quickly explained, "I added chili sauce to this dish. It's edible and not poisonous."
Cheng Yaojin was also the first person in the Tang Dynasty to eat chili sauce.
But the taste is too unpleasant when you first take a sip.
However, now the burning sensation seems to be slowly dissipating.
Instead, there is a comfortable and satisfying feeling.
"Is this really edible?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhuang Zhou and asked with a mixture of belief and doubt.
“Of course you can eat it!”
Zhuang Zhou explained:
"Didn't you just see it? My employees in the store have all eaten it first. How about this, I'll give you a try too."
As he said this, he ignored the sword at his neck.
I simply picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of soft and tasty pork ribs and started eating it.
To be honest, there is not much chili sauce used today.
The taste can only be described as slightly spicy.
I didn't expect this big guy to react so strongly.
"This is really not poisonous. It's chili sauce made from chili peppers. It's delicious when used in cooking."
“Mmmmm~~~ Delicious!”
Zhuang Zhou munched on the ribs with relish, his mouth full of oil.
"Alright! Ah Chou, put away your sword! You've scared Brother Zhuang!"
Li Er swallowed his saliva and called out to Cheng Yaojin to put away his sword quickly.
