Chapter 10 The Prince
The next day, Su Yu was awakened by heat. When he opened his eyes, he saw a golden ball of hair tightly nesting between his neck, and his long tail stretched into his underwear. He had some dreams, but the furry tip of his tail was still gently patting it one after another.
"Good morning, sauce." Su Yu pulled out the long tail and rubbed his chin against his furry head.
An Hongche stretched out his claws and pressed Su Yu's moving chin and yawned a big yawn.
There is no need to set up a stall today. Su Yu planned to solve his fundraising problem. He hugged Mao Tuan and stayed in bed for a while, "Hey, when will we sleep until the sun is over three o'clock?"
The kitten squatting on Su Yu's chest scratched his ears with his hind paws, serving me, and having whatever he wanted.
That being said, for Su Yu, who was working hard, sleeping until the sun was noon, meant that he and the cat were hungry. After a while, he consciously went to the kitchen and cooked a small pot of seafood porridge with fresh shrimps, squid beards and two small crabs. The soft rice was mixed with white shrimps and crabs, sprinkled with a few green onions, and drizzled with sesame oil, and the delicious taste immediately overflowed.
One person and one cat are beautiful | one beautifully eat, and then you start doing the serious business.
It was a bit strange for King Zhao to leave this jade piece at the beginning, but Su Yu now had no other way, so he had to bite the bullet and go to Laan Hongsheng as an investor. He had to make some preparations before going over.
When the restaurant was about to be expanded in his previous life, Su Yu also followed the boss to invest. At that time, the boss asked someone to prepare an exquisite plan and a table of high-end seafood dishes made by Su Yu himself. If you want to invest, you always have to have some finished products. Su Yu can't write a plan, and it's okay to write a dish.
The Sichuan dishes that Su Yu is good at making are useless before he finds peppers. Fortunately, there is also the heirloom of Su Ji recipe, which supports the scene. Su Yu has studied the previous dishes thoroughly.
For example, the first three dishes on Suji's recipe are "Silk-winked White Jade Shell", "Tai Chi Yin-Yang Shrimp", and "Xian Bei Tofu Soup". The names look very profound, but to put it bluntly, they are "steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli", "eat two shrimps" and "steamed tofu to Su Yu's tofu". These dishes are extremely simple for Su Yu, and they can just make up the ingredients. The first few dishes, plus several fish soups, seafood porridge, and seafood noodles he knows, can make up some barbecue, and a recipe will be almost done.
Just... scratched his head and looked at the kitten who was licking his paws leisurely after eating and drinking. Su Yu felt bitter: "Sauce, can you write calligraphy?"
An Hongche stretched out his claws and glanced at Su Yu with contempt. How could my calligraphy be used to write vegetable cards? This stupid slave is getting more and more courageous.
The traditional Chinese characters that were barely written were really terrible, so Su Yu simply threw away his brush and went out to make soy sauce. As a chef, he would give up writing and cook well.
Soy sauce has already existed in the Da'an Dynasty, but the variety is not as diverse as later generations. Soy sauce is very important for many seafood dishes, especially those simple dishes, soy sauce is the soul of the cuisine.
The advantage of soy sauce in ancient times was that it was brewed with natural materials, with a pure taste and no industrial raw materials. The disadvantage was that the taste was too pure, with only the taste of salt and sauce, and lack of freshness. The key to improving freshness was sugar.
Put a bowl of river shrimp in water and cook until the soup changes color, remove the river shrimp, and add a few tablespoons of soy sauce and white sugar. Originally, brown sugar was added when brewing soy sauce, but the ancient soy sauce made of this bean brew is already heavy in color, and the appearance of brown sugar will become worse, so Su Yu chose white sugar. Soon, a bottle of seafood soy sauce was freshly released, which is his secret weapon.
The royal palace is still so luxurious and magnificent. King Zhao An Hongjun is the only mother and brother of the emperor. He is deeply trusted by the emperor. There are many people coming to make contact with each other every day, but today there seem to be particularly many people in front of the door.
"The prince said that he would not see any guests." The guard impatiently drove the crowd in front of the door.
"I have something important to discuss with the prince, please inform me." A man in an official uniform negotiated with the guards with a frown.
"Mr. Zhang, don't waste your time. The prince will not see us." Another gray-bearded official sighed. The emperor had not been to court for more than a month. The people in the court were panic. It was even rumored that the emperor was not going to be in vain. They were also anxious and went to the hospital to try their luck.
A furry head emerged from Su Yu's clothes, and his amber eyes narrowed slightly. What's the use of these idiots coming to find An Hongsheng at this time? On the storm, as the most inherited King Zhao, naturally, should avoid suspicion. He stretched out his claws and scratched Su Yu, urging him to go in quickly and not be foolish by these people.
Su Yu pressed the cat's head helplessly. Seeing so many people being stopped, he felt a little unsure. He repeatedly made up his prepared remarks in front of the door, pinched the jade pieces in his hand, and then raised his foot and squeezed over.
"Who are you?" The guard in front of the door stepped forward to stop him.
"Su Yu is the prince's old friend. If you have a token here, please inform him." Su Yu held the soy sauce behind him with one hand, raised his chin slightly, and showed the green jade piece in his hand.
When the guard saw the jade piece, he couldn't help but look solemn, and raised his hand and said, "Sir, please come in."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Su Yu, who was dressed in simple clothes.
Su Yuwan didn't expect that this jade piece would be so useful. He walked in with the pressure in everyone's eyes as if he was calm.
The pavilions, towers, the water flowing cups, five steps, one view, ten steps, one pavilion, the layout in the palace is really exquisite and luxurious, which shows how much favored this younger brother is.
"I said that I will never see any guests." King Zhao, wearing royal blue clothes, sat in the pavilion and waved impatiently.
"The prince is the one holding the jade plaque." The guard reported in a low voice.
An Hongxian, who was eating the small fish cake, almost choked, stared at Su Yu with wide eyes, looked at him from head to toe, and found half of his hairy ears exposed on his chest with sharp eyes, and immediately waved his hand to let everyone retreat.
When everyone had dispersed, the golden kitten immediately jumped out of his clothes and jumped onto the stone table.
"Sauce, don't be rude!" Su Yu was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it but couldn't catch it.
"What are you calling him?" King Zhao heard a strange name with sharp ears, his eyes were about to pop out, and he pointed to the cat on the table, "Hahahaha...Oh!" An Hongsheng smiled so hard that the soft flesh on his face shook. As soon as he was halfway through his smile, he was given a claw.
Seeing that the prince was scratched, Su Yu was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly bowed: "Young beloved, I hope the prince will atone for his sins!"
An Hongyu had to put on an air, but was stared at by the golden kitten and quickly reached out to help Su Yu up: "It's okay, I know him, I... I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't get scratched by him for a day, hehe haha..."
Su Yu's mouth twitched, and he finally understood why the emperor trusted King Zhao so much. He looked so unreliable and would definitely not seek power and seize the throne.
"Oh, let me tell you the truth, I have some love with this cat, and I give you jade films for his sake." An Hongjun explained to Su Yu while feeding the kitten with a small fish cake.
Su Yu frowned, "He..."
An Hongjun waved his hand: "You will know in the future. Let me talk about it first. Why did you come to me today?" King Zhao was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He had two small dimples on his slightly fat face. He smiled like a prince, but he didn't have the airs of a prince at all. Instead, he looked like a little brother next door, making people feel awe.
After hearing Su Yu’s idea about the restaurant, An Hongjun did not agree immediately and pondered for a moment: “There are so many seafood restaurants in the capital. It is probably difficult to hold on to the scene by grilling soft fish alone.”
Su Yu did not explain much, but only said that he would use it for use in the kitchen.
"Hey, don't bite..." Su Yu left the front foot, and King Zhao was bitten by the cat on the table, rubbing his ears aggrievedly, "You followed the Su family's descendants to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, I haven't tasted it once. I have to give me some benefits."
