Chapter 27 There is no tofu in this world
"Is the lord's trouble a private matter or a public matter? If it is the latter, why not say it out loud?" Wang Yong asked immediately after hearing this. He didn't say it casually, but felt that Cao Cao was waiting for him to ask this.
With the strength he was when he first met her, when he encountered this situation, he would probably directly answer: "It has nothing to do with you!"
Instead, revealing her weak side and directly telling a man who has only been around for about two days to know him. Slowly, maybe she is so messy in this world? After all, Dian Wei was just recognised and was directly enforced!
"Anyway, you can't solve it, so why waste your mouth?" Cao Cao looked up at Wang Yong, and his sense of distrust was superficial.
Obviously, Wang Yong was actually wrong. Cao Cao didn't mind replying just because Wang Yong was already under his command. But from beginning to end, she didn't think that Wang Yong had the ability to solve his own troubles. After all, he had only known him for two days, and what she could value in the man in front of him was the cooking skills and recipes he mastered, and his cooking level did not even meet the qualified standards he thought.
As a senior chef, she even had the opportunity to taste dishes carefully cooked by a super chef.
In her opinion, Wang Yong's cooking skills are actually at the intermediate level and cannot be used as a counter. At most, he will not deny that he is indeed very talented in cooking! As for the others, I regret not to see them, but she does not have much hope!
"Meng De, since our chef is so curious, why don't you satisfy his curiosity a little?" Xun Yu originally planned to help, but he had not yet been able to say it, so Cheng Yu had already said something.
Then he blinked at Xun Yu, and the latter returned with a grateful look.
"Ha...it's okay to tell you!" Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Some time ago, I used some small means and bought a batch of military rations from Wanshiwu at a very small price!"
Oh, that's what Wenming said...or what he complained about? It is said that Wanshiwu has stepped up the trial, so Cao Cao wanted to use similar means to buy a batch of military rations at a low price, which is no longer possible!
"The problem is that we just expanded our army, and this batch of military rations is still far from enough! So I need more food. I can't walk the way of Wanshi House, and if I buy it at the market price, I can't buy much. You know, the grain price in Yanzhou has changed almost three times a day!" Cao Cao sighed. She had actually said this to several think tanks in private.
After all, it was not a glorious thing. I didn't plan to tell the chef Wang Yong. Now that I have said it, I will continue: "So I can only ask for help from the gentry of Yanzhou. However, since I killed the famous scholar Bian Rang before, the gentry had a bad impression of me. Because I was the governor of Yanzhou and was afraid that I would use it, I gave in a little bit and gave two problems! As long as I solved these two problems, they would take out half of the food in stock and donate it to me as military rations... Slowly, there is a problem you may be able to answer!"
"Oh, since I can answer, it should be related to cooking, right?" Wang Yong asked after thinking about it.
"That's true!" Cao Cao nodded, "They want to eat something that is not smelly, spicy, sour, bitter, and hard. They cannot be made of grains, nor can they be poultry eggs. The cooking method cannot be roasted or stewed."
"That's simple!" Dian Wei pinched the steamed bun in his hand, "This one is neither stinky, spicy, sour, or bitter, and soft!"
"It's evil..." Xun Yu smiled, "The question also requires that it cannot be made of grain, otherwise it would be fine!"
"Wang Yong... I didn't seem to ask, what is your word "大天"?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and asked, and then remembered that he had known him for a short time, and seemed to have no idea of his word "天".
"You are finally willing to ask?" Wang Yong replied a little unhappily, "At least I came to recruit the pirates in person. At least I will understand what the person you want to recruit, whose surname is, what is the name of the word "biao?" Wang Yong of Chang'an, has the word "biao". It's a pity that he is not from a wealthy family, but I don't mind becoming the first generation!"
"The owner's ambition is quite good!" Le Jin laughed, "Although it's a bit difficult, you don't give up!"
In this era, men without any background are not easy to make a name for themselves. Not to mention anything else, first of all, he must successfully marry a wife, have one to three descendants before he is 40 or 50 years old, and teach his skills. Otherwise, the family or something is impossible.
"The owner of the shop is only in his twenties and has already booked to become the chef of the state. If the lord goes further, his ability is enough, so he can naturally go further. However, even the chef of the state should be able to save some assets, and he may not be able to marry a good match at that time." Xun Yu came forward to speak a fair word for Wang Yong.
"Hmph, that's because it's Meng De! If it were another force, he would probably not even have the possibility of becoming an official!" Xiahou Dun said bluntly. She could admit that Wang Yong's food tasted good, but he was such annoying to her!
"Let's not talk about that!" Cao Cao signaled everyone to calm down. After all, the topic was at this point, and he felt that it was so tilted that he had gone to somewhere. Then he looked at Wang Yong, "Do you know about such dishes?"
"It's not smelly, spicy, sour, and bitter, not hard, it can't be made of grains, nor can it be poultry eggs. The cooking method cannot be roasted or stewed, right?" Wang Yong only felt that this was a bit familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.
"Ah!" Wang Yong suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen it somewhere. In a certain animation, there was a scene in which a nobleman used this difficult store and was defeated perfectly.
The first thing the store uses is a thing that is neither odor, spicy, sour or bitter, and that is - tofu!
In fact, after deducting this, there are still many dishes that can be found. After all, there is no restriction on seafood, nor is there any restriction on cooking methods such as frying, oil frying, or even steaming. Eggs are only restricted by poultry eggs. If you really want to count snake eggs and turtle eggs, it is not easy to limit them. You can even use crab eggs or even fish roe.
In addition to tofu, there are actually konjac, cabbage and potatoes.
"Did the shopkeeper think of it?" Cao Cao immediately asked in surprise when he saw Wang Yong's posture.
"I thought of it! Just use tofu!" Wang Yong nodded. As for konjac, he didn't know if this thing is available. After all, it is poisonous to eat raw and needs to be processed before it can be eaten with peace of mind. I guess no one can eat it in this era!
"Tofu, what is tofu?" After Wang Yong said it, the others immediately showed a puzzled expression.
"Don't you know about tofu?" Wang Yong was very surprised. Tofu should have been invented during the Western Han Dynasty?
"If we knew, do you think this question would be difficult for us?" Xun Yu explained.
"That's a good opportunity. I can solve this problem. I just need to make the tofu! However, I only know the principle and I need to try it... Beans are usually soybeans, and black beans are actually also OK. Can these be taken from the yamen?" Wang Yong asked.
"If you can solve the problem, I can even give you a quota of one stone! A slaughter of black beans, or soybeans of the same value, must be studied tofu, otherwise you will be responsible for the extra part!" Cao Cao thought for a brief moment, and finally decided to give Wang Yong a chance, "But time is a bit tight, and he must be studied within three days, three days!"
"Okay, I'll do my best!" Wang Yong thought for a while, and finally agreed.
