Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 290

Seeing that it was already past one o'clock, Qi Cheng drove to the restaurant where Zhou Lu was staying. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Lu pulled him aside and said that his idea was very good.

Not only did the number of customers increase, but the store next door also had only a few tables left in the day.

"What are they selling over there? No one wants to eat outside in this weather, not even in the sunroom. Is there heating in there?"

Zhou Lu smiled and said that the shop opposite originally sold various grilled skewers and small seafood, but now there are fewer people eating skewers, and with the new project he has started, they no longer sell grilled skewers and only sell some ordinary small seafood.

The seafood in the sea is not cheap at this time.

"Let's go and see what we have here."

Qi Cheng and the other person came to the backyard and saw two brick platforms in the area that was originally overgrown with weeds. A helper was pickling large pieces of meat and vegetables.

"This is the naan pit you mentioned. The meat roasted in it is indeed crispy and fragrant. I will dig a bigger one in a few days to roast a whole lamb."

……

The people outside the sky widened their eyes. Can such a big pit be used to roast a whole lamb? Why is there not even a place to add firewood? Are they sure the meat can be roasted?

"Xiaosuozi, you've been to restaurants in the city. Have you heard of this method of grilling meat?" an old man from the village asked, "Where do you add the firewood?"

Isn't this just a variation of the stewing oven? Xiao Suozi saw it at a glance. After all, that's what he learned when he was in the city. It's a pity that he was fired before his skills were up to par.

"I think this is simple. You don't need to build a stove. Xiaosuozi, you can learn from it and see if you can open a shop like this." Xiaosuozi's mother pulled him and whispered.

"Well... we still have to see how they do it."

Several shopkeepers in the city have already planned to give it a try. If this thing is successful, they won’t have to get a stove or anything, which saves a lot of money.

And it’s much simpler to handle.

……

Qi Cheng watched as the meat was put into the naan pit, and then he and Zhou Lu found a free place to play games. The meat would take more than an hour to roast, which was enough for them to play a few games.

The owner of the restaurant opposite Zhou Lu's house saw so many customers and his hands began to tremble. He also had barbecue at home, so why didn't anyone come to eat?

They are all barbecue, so will the taste be very different?

How about learning it?

After waiting for more than an hour, Qi Cheng and his team's oven was finally ready. They took a few pieces of meat for final processing, and the two of them took the roasted sweet potatoes and started eating.

The baked sweet potatoes are sweet and delicious.

"This is the best variety we have here. Do you know how it was selected?" Qi Cheng asked Zhou Lu while eating with big mouthfuls.

"How was it chosen? Isn't it hybrid breeding?"

"I tell you, there were many varieties put together at the time. Later, when the researchers checked, they found that several specimens had been bitten by rats."

"They thought that since mice eat it, it must have some advantages, so they took out these species and cultivated them carefully, and finally came up with this sweet potato."

Zhou Lu nodded. He seemed to have heard of this story as well. He also knew that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had strict management over the sweet potato seedlings, and they might sue you if you planted them carelessly.

Daqin

Qin Shihuang looked at the sweet potatoes the two men were eating and swallowed his saliva. He felt that just by looking at them on the sky curtain, he could imagine how delicious they were.

Unfortunately, its place of origin is too far away, and there is no way to introduce it even if I want to.

"Fusu, do you think the sweet potato seedlings should be strictly managed?"

"I think it should be more strict. First, it's the result of people's hard work. Second, if someone doesn't manage it well, it might damage the brand."

Tang Dynasty

Several ministers looked at each other, they could not believe that the management in this regard was so strict in later generations. They all thought of Wang Rong from the Jin Dynasty. The plums in his family were delicious, but he was afraid that others would grow seeds from the plum pits.

Therefore, the plums sold have the pits drilled out.

There was a lot of ridicule in the past, but looking back, although it was still somewhat inappropriate, it was not unreasonable. After all, the things that were cultivated should be charged for.

"The later generations are indeed different. The sky curtain said that sweet potatoes were the staple food in the early years, but I never thought that in just a few decades, they would be reduced to the position of snacks."

"And it has to taste good. If it doesn't taste good, I'm afraid its status will be even lower."

……

Qi Cheng and his friends ate a few sweet potatoes. The meat had already been cut up, and there were also pancakes, green onions, and other things prepared. Qi Cheng didn't hesitate and took two pieces of meat to eat.

It’s definitely different from barbecue, and it’s delicious!

"This meat is quite good when braised. No wonder braised oven roast duck was able to dominate the Qing Dynasty for so long."

"What about hanging furnaces? What are their advantages?"

"It's relatively simple to make, and the oven is relatively large, so it has some cost advantages. What's the matter? Are you planning to serve roast duck? It's not meat, so it still requires some skills."

Zhou Lu shook his head. He mainly served seafood here, but he felt that the restaurant over there might have to serve roast duck, otherwise he would not be able to compete with his own naan pit barbecue.

"Aren't you afraid he'll also be grilling? The technical content of this thing is actually just that..."

"It's a matter of first impression. Even if he does, he might not be able to outsell me. As long as I have genuine materials, I'm not afraid of him doing that."

........

Several shopkeepers outside the sky curtain felt that the host's friend was thinking too simply. His naan pit barbecued meat was actually somewhat similar to oven-roasted meat. What if the opponent directly served oven-roasted meat?

Besides, you can’t do business like this. You have to consider all kinds of situations.

While they were still complaining, it was almost five o'clock. The sky gradually darkened and seven or eight cars drove into Zhou Lu's yard.

The restaurant suddenly became lively.

"Is business so good?" Several shop owners were a little unbelievable. The technical content of this thing is actually not high.

Tang Dynasty

Li Tai also found it a little hard to understand. There were so many cooking techniques in later generations, why did people still like such a simple barbecue?

"Brother, what do you think is going on?"

Li Chengqian thought about it and said that the meat might be delicious. After all, so many spices were added when it was cooked. At that time in the Tang Dynasty, these spices were much more expensive than the meat.

Another thing is that people in later generations still hope for a bit of wildness in their lives, otherwise why would so many people like to watch those wilderness survival programs.

"Brother, let's try it in the palace. Just dig a hole and it will work..."

"Let the servants do it, don't do it yourself, otherwise the Queen Mother will beat you."
