Private room on the fourth floor
Li Zexuan pushed the door open and walked in. In an instant, the eyes of several people in the room were all focused on it. The smell was so delicious and the appearance was also very good.
"Wow, is this my brother's new delicious food? It looks delicious, Lan'er wants to eat it!"
Lan'er excitedly stepped forward to take the chicken nuggets with her hands.
Li Zexuan quickly pushed Lan'er's hand away: "Go, go, it's hot, use chopsticks! Come on, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, Ah Fu and San Bao, you guys also have a try!"
After saying that, he placed a large plate of fried chicken nuggets on the table!
Lan'er couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it into her mouth. She bit the crispy and soft chicken with her small mouth. Her cute big eyes narrowed into a straight line. While eating, she shouted: "Hmm, it's so delicious." , what’s your name, brother?”
"My brother named this food KFC. Lan'er, don't talk when you're eating, or you might choke."
As he spoke, he rubbed Lan'er's little head lovingly, and then said to the other four people: "Don't be stunned, come and have a taste. There are so many, Lan'er can't finish them all by herself. Don't pay attention to so many." Rules, follow the young master and I will have meat to eat."
Xiaohe, Afu, and Sanbao all eagerly picked up a piece of chicken and started to devour it. Only Xiaoxi was more reserved and ate in small bites. This little maid had always been quieter, but she could still tell from the slightly raised corners of her lips. It can be seen that she is relatively happy eating.
"Wow, Master, this is the most delicious thing Sanbao has ever eaten in his life. This chicken is really delicious." The uneducated Sanbao suddenly cried while eating.
"Then why are you crying? If it's delicious, just eat it, and no one will stop you from eating it."
Li Zexuan was quite speechless. He could make someone cry after eating fried chicken nuggets.
"Master, I can't eat San Bao anymore." Xiao He and Ah Fu beside them all nodded in agreement with sad faces.
In fact, this is difficult for the three of them. As servants, it is rare for someone to bring them to such a high-end restaurant for a feast, and the young master does not dislike them and allows them to eat together.
The food in this restaurant may not be delicious in the eyes of Lan'er and Li Zexuan, but in their eyes it is delicious, so they just opened their stomachs when Li Zexuan and Lan'er put down their chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore. Don't worry. Eat boldly. By the time Li Zexuan came back from the kitchen, almost all the dozen or so dishes on the table had been eaten. Now faced with the even more delicious fried chicken nuggets, they were so helpless that they wanted to cry without tears.
Li Zexuan looked at the dozen empty plates in front of him and understood. He said narrowly: "Oh, that's a pity. Such delicious food is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. Lan'er and Xiaoxi, since they eat If not, just a few of us will destroy it, haha."
Lan'er also looked happy. Fortunately, she didn't eat too much just now and didn't care to talk anymore. She kept eating with her little mouth.
Xiaohe and the other three looked at the tempting chicken nuggets and their mouths watered. Although they were full, they still couldn't bear to part with such delicious food. The three of them all attacked the fried chicken nuggets resolutely. Such delicious food is worth it even if you eat it to death, Sanbao thought sadly.
After a while, the six of them couldn't eat anymore, but there were still five pieces of chicken on the plate.
At this time, a voice came from the door: "Little brother, since you can't eat anymore, how about giving the rest to me?"
Li Zexuan turned around and saw that it was the thin, dark man he had met downstairs in Zuixian before. Although his clothes were not gorgeous, he looked attractive and sharp. Li Zexuan did not dare to look down on him, so he held his hands and said: " If this man really wants to eat, why not wait until tomorrow and let him eat the rest, I am really rude."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not rude, Lao Cheng, I don't care about this, oh, Cheng Chumo, what do you call me little brother?"
Cheng Chumo waved his hands repeatedly to show that he didn't care. In fact, he didn't want to come here shamelessly. He was the eldest son of the old Cheng family. How could he be so shameless? But after smelling the aroma of the fried chicken nuggets, he immediately felt like a hundred claws scratching his face. My heart is the same, looking at the food plates in front of me, I feel boring.
This guy turned out to be Cheng Chumo, the son of the Demon King Cheng Yaojin. This was something that could not be offended. Li Zexuan was secretly shocked and hurriedly said: "Brother Li Zexuan, this is my sister Li Zelan. Since Brother Cheng doesn't mind, let's sit down and eat together." Well, it would be rude of me to let Brother Cheng eat these today. How about setting a new table tomorrow and treating Brother Cheng to a good meal."
Cheng Chumo listened to the words, grinned, and patted Li Zexuan hard on the shoulder: "Haha, brother Li, please be cool, your brother and I have made an appointment with you. Hey, sister Lan'er is so beautiful. Brother Cheng didn't bring any gifts today. I'll make up for Lan'er tomorrow." superior."
After saying that, he found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Haha, I just learned how to speak like those literati, and it made me so tired."
Li Zexuan was speechless. No wonder he felt that the painting style was wrong. How could Cheng Yaojin's son be so formal
Lan'er was praised silently by Cheng Chu, shyly hugged Li Zexuan's arm and bowed her head and stopped talking.
Cheng Chumo was a little surprised when he saw that Li Zexuan was still calm and composed after being slapped twice. He also had a little test in mind in those two slaps just now. He used three-thirds of his strength, which ordinary people can't bear. He immediately praised: "Brother Li's skills nice."
Li Zexuan smiled slightly: "I just know a little bit about boxing. I see that Brother Cheng is also a cheerful person. Let's sit down and eat together!"
Only then did Cheng Chumo think of the purpose of coming here. He immediately shifted his target to the golden and crispy fried chicken nuggets. He was not polite at that moment. He picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and savored the taste. He swallowed it like a cow chewing peonies, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "It is really delicious, man, I have eaten all these years in vain!"
After a while, the pieces of fried chicken were all wiped out, and Cheng Chumo said clearly that he still had something to say: "It's so delicious. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life, brother!"
Then he asked doubtfully: "Brother Li, why did Zuixianlou let you try the new food first when it launches it today?"
After eating the coveted food, this guy's IQ finally returned to normal and he figured out the key to the problem.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "To be honest with Brother Cheng, this Zuixian Tower is my father's property. Today, I also had a sudden idea and taught the chef to make this new food. I want to try it out."
"Oh, that's it. Next time I come up with something new to eat, don't forget about me, haha!" Cheng Chumo patted Li Zexuan again and said.
At this moment, shopkeeper Liu came in and said to Li Zexuan: "Young master, I just tasted this chicken. It is really a delicacy in the world. I just don't know if the young master can sell this chicken in Zuixian Tower." Huh?" Old Liu looked at Li Zexuan expectantly.
Just after Li Zexuan left, he couldn't wait to ask Wang Erhu to make him some fried chicken nuggets. He almost swallowed his tongue after tasting it. He has eaten a lot of delicious food over the years, but nothing like this has ever been done. Fried chicken nuggets are on par.
Therefore, Old Liu thought that if the chicken could be sold in Zuixian Tower, it would definitely cause a huge sensation, so he ran up to Li Zexuan and asked Li Zexuan for his opinion.
"Well, Uncle Liu, I was just about to tell you about this. You will put this KFC on the restaurant menu tomorrow. The supply is limited to two hundred servings per day. First come, first served. Rare things are more valuable."
"Yeah, my young boss is wise!" Old Liu, who has been doing business for so many years, immediately understood Li Zexuan's intentions and expressed admiration. Then he asked again: "Young master, how much does this chicken cost?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and asked: "Uncle Liu, do you have a rough estimate of the cost of each portion?"
Only then did Shopkeeper Liu notice Cheng Chumo in the room and hesitated. Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this is my brother. When he comes to Zuixian Tower from now on, Uncle Liu, you have to treat him well."
Cheng Chumo looked moved.
Shopkeeper Liu then said: "Master, the process of making this nibbling chicken is not difficult. The main reason is that the sesame oil used is quite expensive. The total cost per portion is about 200 yuan."
"Well, let's keep the price consistent. Don't set it too high. Master, I want the people of Chang'an City to be able to afford this delicious food! Haha."
Everyone in the room was speechless. A piece of money is not expensive. Do you think the people in Chang'an City are as rich as you
Shopkeeper Liu thought about it carefully. It is indeed not expensive to have such delicious food in the world. He flattered happily and said: "Young master is so kind! It's just that the name of this dish is nibbling chicken. It's really strange."
I secretly murmured in my heart, why should I bite this chicken? I can't just bite it with my mouth.
Li Zexuan also knew that the ancients would find the name KFC strange, but he did not expect that Old Liu would think so far, so he said: "KFC is very good, let's use this name."
Well, we have to respect originality!
What else could Shopkeeper Liu say? He could only express his agreement and then resigned.
Inside the house, I chatted with Cheng Chumo again. I felt it was time to leave, so I asked Lan'er, "Lan'er, are you still going to the West Market?"
Lan'er rubbed her swollen belly, shook her head with a grimace and said, "Brother, please wait a little longer, Lan'er can't walk anymore."
After hearing this, everyone in the room nodded in agreement except for him and Cheng Chumo.
Li Zexuan found it quite funny: "Okay, let's wait a little longer!"
Hearing this, Lan'er rolled her eyes, stepped forward and held Li Zexuan's hand, saying, "Brother, you haven't finished telling the story this morning, why don't you continue telling it to Lan'er now?"
Li Zexuan was a little reluctant. He had already talked so much in the morning about the little inventory in his stomach. At this rate, it would be emptied out in a short time.
But seeing the hopeful expressions on Lan'er and the maids' faces, they couldn't bear to stop talking about it, so they said: "Okay, let's talk for a while. The last time we talked about the Monkey King causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was imprisoned by the Supreme Lord. In the Bagua furnace, I saw Wukong jumping around in the furnace, and accidentally jumped to the position of Xun Palace. There was only smoke but no fire. It was very smokey, so he bent down and squatted inside. Forty-nine days passed. Taishang Laojun ordered the furnace door to be opened. Wukong suddenly heard a noise on the top of the furnace. He looked up and saw a light. He jumped out of the alchemy furnace with all his strength, kicked the furnace down, turned around and ran away... "
Everyone fell silent and listened attentively. Although Cheng Chumo didn't hear the first three episodes, he still found it quite interesting to listen to the last three episodes. After a while, he was conquered by this fantastic story.
"... Tang Monk saw that he had realized his mistake and stopped talking. Wukong's head immediately stopped hurting. He thought that this spell must have been taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he clamored to go to the South China Sea to settle accounts with Guanyin Bodhisattva. Tang Seng said: "Since she can teach me this tightening curse, she must also be able to recite it!" "Wukong took a deep breath and stopped messing around. He vowed to listen to his master and protect Monk Tang from studying in the West. Okay, let's stop talking about it today."
He told them "Journey to the West" two more times. Li Zexuan saw that it was getting late, and guessed that Lan'er and the others should be able to move around, so he stopped talking. Everyone looked regretful.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Chu silently and making an appointment to meet again tomorrow, Li Zexuan took Lan'er and the others out of Zuixian Tower. As for the money for the meal, Li Zexuan said, "Does it cost money to eat in his restaurant?"
