Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

I want to eat such delicious food every day, but I am afraid it is not possible.

The pocket money given by my father does not seem to be enough.

A meal costs one guan, how can I spend one guan every day?

More than 300 days a year, that is more than 300 guan.

I dare not think about it...

But, if my eldest grandson Ying finds a job in this Tang Dynasty Hotel, not only will I not have to spend money on food, but I can also make money!

In an instant, eldest grandson Ying straightened his back and chest, right! ✸

I am so smart!

Li Yuan and Wu Shigui sat at the door. The cool breeze was blowing outside, but it was warm inside.

Wu Shigui felt that his fur coat was full of sweat.

"Grandpa, why is it so hot in here?"

Li Yuan smiled and pointed to the stove in the middle against the pillar.

"Old Wu, you don't know about this thing yet, do you?"

"This stove is the best thing in the Tang Dynasty now. It costs 20 wen each. I heard that this is the price specially authorized by the current emperor, so that everyone can afford it."

Wu Shigui opened his mouth wide and looked at the stove in front of him, his eyes flickering.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Old man, Erlang is like you, kind-hearted. Even if he loses money, he must let the people benefit."

Li Yuan raised his head unconsciously. Although he had a lot of resentment towards Li Shimin, Li Yuan thought that Li Shimin did a great job in this matter.

This stove is so cheap and dares to sell it. I don't know how much loss it will lose.

"Do you know what is burning in it?"

"Coal!" Li Yuan asked and answered mysteriously.

Wu Shigui frowned. He knew about coal.

In the early years, when doing business in the north, some people used this as fuel. Wu Shigui also knew about this.

But after burning, the coal smells bad, and many people died when they woke up.

At that time, some people said that coal was very evil and it was unlucky to use it.

After all these years, has coal really been used?

"I heard that this coal is different from the original coal."

"As long as you use this stove, nothing else will happen." Li Yuan stroked his beard, very proud.

"Where I live, I already have it, it's warm, I'm at home, even if I wear a short coat, it's very comfortable."

Wu Shigui suddenly remembered that the black carbon that was a hot topic in Chang'an a few days ago seemed to be called coal.

"So that's it!" Wu Shigui slapped his thigh, no wonder he always felt that this thing looked familiar.

"Grandpa, I'll make some for my family when I get home. Are you afraid of the cold in this winter?"

Li Yuan was very proud, as if he was a man who had experienced it: "Calm down, calm down, Lao Wu, we are old, we should be calm."

"Well, you order the dishes."

Wu Shigui raised his head and saw the direction of Li Yuan's finger, and then his whole body was shocked.

Hiss...

This restaurant is still good at making money.

"Grandpa, why is it so expensive..."

What good things has Wu Shigui not eaten in his life?

He used to spend money like water, but now seeing this dish, he suddenly realized that the people queuing outside the door were doing something.

Li Yuan stroked his beard and looked at Wu Shigui's surprised look, and was very satisfied.

"Lao Wu, calm down and put away your inexperienced look."

"This Datang Restaurant is unparalleled in the world. Do you know why the dishes in Datang Restaurant are so expensive?"

Wu Shigui was confused and shook his head repeatedly.

"Look at that name, can you hear it anywhere else?"

"After you came in, have you smelled this smell anywhere else?"

Li Yuan looked calm, but Wu Shigui was very excited.

"With this kind of income, a dish of a few hundred coins is already cheap. The ingredients they use are good and the taste is unique in the world. This price is not excessive."

"I never thought in my life that I could eat such delicious food at the end of my life. I plan to come here often in the next two years to make my life worthwhile."

Wu Shigui sucked in a breath of cold air.

You know, he is the person who knows Li Yuan best in the world now. The Li Yuan he knows is absolutely impossible to say such words.

Such unruly words came out of Li Yuan's mouth.

Wu Shigui couldn't help but look at the piles of dish names. The food in the Datang Restaurant actually has such magical power?

"Old man, then I will order it."

Wu Shigui took a deep breath.

At this time, Li Yuan was already impatient: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry."

He said silently in his heart, you were once a wealthy man in the world, and you followed me to conquer the world, look at how reserved you are now.

Li Yuan looked smug, and completely forgot the dilemma he encountered when he first came to the Datang Hotel.

"Braised chicken, mapo tofu, hot and sour soup, boiled fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Wu Shigui had never heard of these dishes, and he reported the names of the dishes word by word.

Li Yuan stroked his beard at this time: "Add two more bowls of mutton soup."

"Old Wu, the mutton soup here is absolutely delicious."

"My mouth is watering now..."

Wu Shigui's ears were only buzzing, the people outside the door were urging him, and the people inside the door were reluctant to leave, reluctant to leave, and drooling.

This scene was really the first time he had seen it in his life.

Not long after, when the dishes came up, Wu Shigui felt that his whole body was boiling.

"Lao Wu, don't look at this dish as expensive. In my opinion, it's still cheap. Come, try it..."

After a mouthful of Mapo Tofu, Wu Shigui's mouth was numb, as if a bug was crawling through it.

Waves of saliva kept rolling in his mouth, and he felt that the tofu suddenly melted in his mouth, and then quickly wrapped his entire tongue.

He was obviously hungry, and his stomach was growling, but he just couldn't bear to swallow it.

That kind of hot feeling... I seem to have never experienced it before.

Looking at the reserved Wu Shigui, Li Yuan took a deep breath, picked up the rice bowl, and then buried his head in eating.

How can you waste time on such delicious food?

As if he didn't want to waste any second, Li Yuan ate frantically, one mouthful of food, one mouthful of rice, and Wu Shigui couldn't sit still.

He was thinking about how to be elegant in his mind, but his body couldn't help but be wild.

There seemed to be a voice in his ear: Eat freely and be yourself.

Before noon, the 100 guests in the Datang Hotel had almost finished eating. Liu Xuan washed his hands and then slowly came out.

As soon as I came out, I saw a little girl with a red face in the corner.

Isn't this girl Chang Sunying who was indignant yesterday?

What happened? Was she teased? Why didn't she have the same attitude as yesterday today, but was rather shy and a little uncomfortable?

"Isn't this Miss Chang Sun? Are you in line today?"

Just when Chang Sunying was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she was full. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the delicious food would burst out of her mouth.
