Chapter 9: Datang's first KFC

Li Zexuan and his party came to West Market. See the numerous hostels, flag

pavilions, wine shops, and food stalls around the street, during which

tourists and merchants come and go in an endless stream. In the distance,

there are also some "Hu people" who came to Chang'an to do business through

the Silk Road in the Western Regions, Central Asia, West Asia and other

places. Some are selling gold and silver jewelry here, and some are buying

some silk, porcelain, etc., intending to transport them. Resale after

returning home.

Looking at the prosperous market in front of him, Li Zexuan was also a little

shocked. You must know that the entire Tang Dynasty has a population of more

than 20 million, which is far behind the later generations. It is really not

easy to have such a prosperous market in this era. .

"The prosperous age has been revealed, and in a few years, the people of

Datang will usher in an unprecedented prosperous age of Zhenguan." Li Zexuan

said with emotion.

I accompanied Lan'er to buy Tangren, dolls and her favorite toys, and also

showed her the Persian juggling that she had been talking about for a long

time. It was noon now, and after shopping for a long time, Li Zexuan was also

very hungry. I was looking for a restaurant to go down.

"Xiaohe, which restaurant near here has delicious food?"

I don't know which restaurant to choose, Li Zexuan decisively threw the

question to Xiaohe, a native of the Tang Dynasty.

"Master, Xiao He doesn't know. Xiao He rarely goes out of the house and has

never eaten here."

Xiaohe blinked his eyes carefully and honestly.

Li Zexuan patted his head, thinking that too, this little maid would be

willing to spend money to eat in a restaurant in West Market.

"Master, shall we go to the Zuixianlou run by the master to eat?" Xiao Xi

suggested.

"Huh? My father also opened a restaurant in West Market?" Li Zexuan expressed

surprise.

"Puff, how come you don't even know your own property, Master?" Xiaohe

couldn't help laughing.

Li Zexuan was also quite embarrassed, "Okay, then go to Zuixianlou! Who knows

where Zuixianlou is, lead the way."

"Lan Er knows that Dad brought Lan Er last year."

Lan'er spoke enthusiastically, the little girl is eager to eat when she hears

it. She is simply a snack. I bought so many snacks for her in the morning and

haven't eaten enough? Li Zexuan was a little puzzled.

"Let's go then."

led by Lan'er, the group came to Zuixianlou. This is a five-story restaurant

that stands out amongst a low-rise shop and is very conspicuous, and looks

quite magnificent from the outside.

"Hey, my father is really rich. This is equivalent to a five-star hotel for

later generations. This is still one of the family's industries. Hey, I only

know that my father is rich. I didn't expect to be so rich. There is a long

way to go, how can we spend so much money."

Li Zexuan was just a poor man in his previous life, and I didn’t know how to

spend so much money all at once.

entered the restaurant, the big fat man who was the shopkeeper in his forties,

saw Lan'er, and immediately greeted him, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha:

"Oh, why did the lady come today? Hurry up, please."

He had never met Li Zexuan, so naturally he didn't know that this was his

young boss.

"Treasurer Liu, this is my young master, who just came back from Longhushan

yesterday, why don't you say hello?"

Xiaohe was indignant when he saw that the shopkeeper Liu hadn't taken care of

his young master.

"Oh, don't blame the master, don't blame the master, the villain has no eyes,

please come upstairs, master."

When the shopkeeper Liu heard this, he repeatedly apologized to Li Zexuan. He

had also heard people say that there is a son in his host, but he went to

learn martial arts in Longhushan. He didn't expect to be hit by himself when

he came back, and he couldn't help but cried out unlucky.

"It’s not guilty that you don’t know, shopkeeper Liu shouldn’t be so polite.

You have worked hard for my father to run the restaurant these years, Uncle

Liu."

Li Zexuan patted shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder, and said to shopkeeper Liu as

gently as possible. After all, shopkeeper Liu is also considered a middle and

high-level member of the "Li Group" and has made a lot of contributions. A few

words of encouragement will allow people to continue to contribute. The "Li

Group" contributed light and enthusiasm. There is no need to worry about such

a small matter. Li Zexuan is not such a stingy person. Li Zexuan said that he

was still a big drop.

"Whatever the master said, this is what I should do."

Hearing Li Zexuan's words, the shopkeeper Liu was very happy, the fat on his

smiling face trembled, hey~~ Seeing the disgusting appetite, Li Zexuan quickly

turned his head away. He was afraid that he could not eat for a while.

The group went up to the fourth floor, entered a private room, and asked

shopkeeper Liu to serve some signature dishes. Li Zexuan and Lan'er began to

sit down and eat, but the two maids and two Jia Ding stood by and waited.

"Sit down and eat together, why are you standing?"

Being watched by others, Li Zexuan said that he couldn't eat, and he quickly

waved to the four people next to him.

"Master, how can this be done? How can a servant sit and eat with his master."

Xiao Xi hurriedly waved his hand. Although Xiaohe, Ah Fu, and Sanbao also

wanted to sit down and eat, they all understood the rules and heard that Xiao

Xi refused. Although regretful, they nodded in agreement.

"What's inferior to the master, where there is so much nonsense, if you want

to eat together, just sit down and eat."

Li Zexuan said impatiently, he still doesn't feel deeply about these class

concepts.

Seeing that the young master showed signs of madness, the four of them looked

at each other and sat down carefully.

No one is staring at himself for dinner, Li Zexuan picked up his chopsticks,

wanting to taste the cooking skills of the chef in this five-star hotel. The

result was very disappointing. The shark fin soup made by my mother was not as

good as yesterday, Li Zexuan said. There is no way, mainly because the cooking

methods of the Tang Dynasty are too single.

Li Zexuan didn’t want to eat it after eating a few chopsticks. After eating

these boiled dishes every day, the birds were almost fading out of his mouth.

He had to find a way to improve his meal. He planned to go to the back kitchen

of the restaurant to see if he could let the chef cook something delicious.

what to do? Just make KFC, suitable for all ages, the key is to please his

girlfriend in his previous life, he has been learning this online for a long

time, and he still remembers the production process in detail.

Lan'er also put down her chopsticks at this time, mainly because she ate too

many snacks in the morning. Li Zexuan said to Lan'er at this moment:

"Lan'er, brother, go to the back kitchen and ask the cook to make you

something delicious that you have never eaten before, do you want to eat it?"

"What's delicious?"

Laner looked forward with her big cute eyes open.

"Haha, Lan'er will know in a while." Li Zexuan laughed and went away.

went to the shopkeeper Liu, and said that he wanted the restaurant cook to

make some new tricks, and asked him to take himself to the restaurant back

cook.

"Wang Erhu, come here, come and meet the young boss. The young boss wants you

to get some new food out. You can do what the young boss asks you to do. Did

you hear that."

Shopkeeper Liu waved to a fat guy in his thirties.

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper." Wang Erhu responded quickly.

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly bent over and smiled at Li Zexuan: "Young master,

this Wang Erhu is the best chef in our restaurant, you can directly order him

if you have something to do."

"Well, I have trouble with shopkeeper Liu, if you have something to do, go

ahead and leave me alone." Li Zexuan waved to shopkeeper Liu.

"I'm not busy, I just want to see what new food the young master wants to

eat."

"Whatever you want, just watch it. This young master's dish is called KFC." Li

Zexuan didn't care, and told Wang Erhu: "Erhu, you can get 20 pairs of chicken

thighs."

Since I did it, do more by the way.

After a while, Wang Erhu got a lot of chicken legs, and Li Zexuan continued to

order:

"You first cut each chicken thigh into three evenly, and add a flower knife on

each piece to make it easier to taste. Well, you add some sugar, five-spice

powder, salt, and ginger. You can estimate how much you want to add. If it

tastes good, your salary will be doubled this month. If it tastes bad, your

salary will be deducted."

Wang Erhu suddenly became stressed, his forehead was sweating secretly, and he

carefully controlled the proportion of seasoning with his many years of

cooking skills.

Seeing that Wang Erhu is done, Li Zexuan continued to order:

"You pour a small pot of wine in it again, yes yes yes, that's all, um, you

take this over and steam the chicken nuggets first."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the chicken nuggets were steamed, and Li

Zexuan ordered:

"You put the chicken nuggets and roll them in starch, um, okay, you go and

beat four more eggs, mix thoroughly, and then roll the chicken nuggets with

eggs."

After a while, Wang Erhu was ready.

"Is there any sesame oil?" Li Zexuan remembered that there should be sesame

oil in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, how much do you want for the young owner?"

"One pot, half a pot."

"Huh? So many, young owner, sesame oil is very expensive." Wang Erhu felt a

little distressed.

"It's okay, let's go, master, I don't need money." Li Zexuan said that only

money is left behind.

Wang Erhu had no choice but to fetch the sesame oil. Under Li Zexuan's

command, he poured the sesame oil into the pot and boiled, put the chicken

nuggets and fry them until the outer skin was browned and the pot started. UU

Suddenly a crispy chicken smell permeated the whole back kitchen. The rest of

the cooks all turned their eyes here and swallowed secretly. Wang Erhu was

also a little dumbfounded. Looking at the golden chicken nuggets in front of

him, he couldn't believe it was him. Made it out.

Li Zexuan picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to clamp a piece. The

entrance is crispy, the outside is charred and the inside is tender. The key

is not salty or not weak, and the taste is just right, not much different from

later KFC.

happily patted Erhu on the shoulder, and said:

"Erhu, you are doing a good job, shopkeeper Liu, and your salary will be

doubled in the future. Erhu, you will do well in the future. My Li family will

not treat you badly. Don't think about changing jobs. Others can give you

something, my master. I can give it to you too."

For talents like Erhu, Li Zexuan still attaches great importance to him, and

ignores Erhu's loyalty, so he takes KFC and walks away.

Passing through the lobby on the first floor, the scent of the fried chicken

nuggets immediately attracted the attention of all the diners. They all cast

their eyes on the food plate in Li Zexuan's hands, sniffing their noses and

swallowing secretly.

Seeing that Li Zexuan was about to go upstairs, a black and thin young man

stood up and said:

"Then little brother, wait, what do you have to eat? Why have I never seen it

in Zuixianlou."

Li Zexuan paused when he heard the words, looked at the thin black brother,

and said:

"This is KFC. It is a newly launched food from Zuixianlou. It will be served

tomorrow. Today is just a trial. If you want to eat it, tomorrow morning."

After a while, I asked the shopkeeper Liu to include this dish on the

restaurant's menu. Maybe it will add a big input to the restaurant. I can also

be regarded as an increase in financial resources for the father, and Li

Zexuan is also secretly proud. After saying this, Li Zexuan ignored everyone's

reaction and hurried upstairs. The little girl was still waiting for him.
