Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 9: The first KFC of the Tang Dynasty

　　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. 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 now has a population of more than 20 million, which is far less than that of later generations. It is true that there is such a prosperous market in this era. It's not easy.

　　 "The prosperous age has been revealed, and in a few years, the people of Datang will usher in an unprecedented prosperity of Zhenguan." Li Zexuan said with emotion.

　　 accompanied Lan'er to buy sugar people, puppets, and toys she likes, and also showed her the Persian juggling she had been talking about for a long time. It was already noon, and after shopping for a long time, Li Zexuan was also very I'm hungry, I was looking for a restaurant to go down.

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

　　 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 and spoke carefully.

　　 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 opened by the master to eat?" Xiao Xi suggested.

　　 "Huh? My dad 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 Daddy brought Lan'er here 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.

　　 "Then go."

　　 led by Lan'er, a group of people came to Zuixianlou. This is a five-story restaurant that stands out amongst a low-rise shop, 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. It seems rich. The road to the second-generation prodigal is a long way to go. How to spend so much money."

　　 Li Zexuan was just a poor man in his previous life, so I don’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, just saw Lan'er, and immediately greeted him, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha:

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

　　 He has never seen Li Zexuan, so naturally he doesn't know that this is his young boss.

　　" Shopkeeper 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, the master please come upstairs soon."

　　 The shopkeeper Liu heard this and repeatedly apologized to Li Zexuan. He had also heard people say that there was a son in his boss, 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 crying out of luck.

　　 "It’s not guilty that you don’t know, shopkeeper Liu, don’t be so polite. You have been working hard for my father to manage the restaurant, Uncle Liu these years."

　　 Li Zexuan patted shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder, and said to shopkeeper Liu as gently as possible. After all, shopkeeper Liu is a middle and high-level member of the "Li Group" and has made a lot of contributions. People continue to contribute light and enthusiasm to the "Li Group". There is no need to make trouble with others for 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 turned his head quickly, he was afraid that he could not eat for a while.

　　 and the group went up to the fourth floor, entered a private room, let shopkeeper Liu serve some signature dishes, Li Zexuan and Lan'er began to sit down for dinner, but the two maids and two Jia Ding stood aside and waited.

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

　　 Being watched by others, Li Zexuan said that he couldn't eat, and quickly waved to the four people next to him.

　　"Master, how can this work? How can a subordinate sit and eat with the owner."

　　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 going to be a master, there is so much nonsense, if you want to eat together, sit down and eat."

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

　　 Seeing the young master showing signs of madness, the four looked at each other and sat down cautiously.

　　 No one is staring at himself for dinner, Li Zexuan picked up his chopsticks, wanting to taste the cooking skills of the chef of this five-star hotel. The result was very disappointing. The shark fin soup made by my mother was not as delicious 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 plans to go to the back kitchen of the restaurant to see if he can let the chef cook something delicious.

What is 　　 doing? 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.

　　 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 time:

　　"Lan'er, brother, go to the back kitchen and let the cook make you something delicious that you have never eaten before, do you want to eat it?"

　　 "What's delicious?"

　　 Lan'er 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’m sorry to trouble shopkeeper Liu. If you have something, 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. The dish that the young master is cooking is called KFC." Li Zexuan said nothing, and said to Wang Erhu: "Erhu, you can get 20 pairs of chicken legs."

　　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 can add some sugar, five-spice powder, salt, and ginger. You can estimate how much you add. Well, if it tastes good in a while, your salary will be doubled this month, and it will deduct your salary if it tastes bad."

　　 Wang Erhu suddenly became stressed, his forehead was sweating secretly, and he carefully controlled the proportion of seasoning by virtue of 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, uh, you take this over and steam the chicken nuggets first."

　　 half 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 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 will do."

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

　　 "It's okay, go, master, I don't need money." Li Zexuan said that he was poor and only had money left.

　　 Wang Erhu had no choice but to fetch sesame oil. Under Li Zexuan’s command, he poured the sesame oil into the pot and boiled, put the chicken nuggets in and fried until the outer skin was browned, and the pot started~ IndoMTL.com~ Suddenly a burst of crisp chicken The smell permeated the whole back kitchen. The other chefs 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 made by himself.

　　 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:

　　"Second Tiger, good job, shopkeeper Liu, the salary of Second Tiger will be doubled in the future. Second Tiger, you will do well in the future, my Li family will not treat you badly, don’t think about changing jobs, other family can give you , My master 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 walks away with KFC.

　　 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 thin young man stood up and said:

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

　　 Li Zexuan stopped when he heard the words, looked at the black and thin brother, and said:

　　"This is KFC. It is a new food from Zuixianlou. It will be served tomorrow. Today is just a trial. If you want to eat it, tomorrow morning."

　　 After a while, let the shopkeeper Liu add this dish to 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 my father. 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.
