Chapter 18 Adventures

"Brother said this to me. I mean that I mean it!" Tao Jin said while shaving his teeth.

"Young Master, what are you making these things? How come it is so delicious?" Yuanbao said with some unsatisfactory look at the plate that had been eaten completely.

Tao Jin pointed to the ceramic bowl filled with oil and said, "Isn't it just the oil I boiled in the afternoon!"

When Yuchi Gong heard this, he opened his eyes, which were closing his eyes to rest, patted his belly and asked, "Why, that one can eat, and he can still eat like this?"

"If you can eat, you can eat, but it's not what you think!" Tao Jin said briefly.

"How do you eat it?" Yuanbao asked like a curious baby. In fact, he asked this because he was afraid that one day Tao Jin would not cook the dishes, so how should he cook it himself. Because after tasting this taste, he basically never wanted to eat the dishes he had eaten before!

Although Yuanbao is not clever, after cooking, who would like to eat boiled vegetables? Even if the meat is cooked, the taste is much worse!

"There are many ways to eat this, and what you are given to you today is only a part, a small part, a real good dish, you haven't eaten it yet!" Tao Jin grabbed the stomachs of the two of them in one fell swoop, and felt very happy, and couldn't help but start to boast.

"Brother, do you think if this dish is opened in a restaurant, will anyone be willing to eat it?" Tao Jin asked again after saying that.

The reason why Tao Jin asked Yuchi Gong was because he often walked in the market and was knowledgeable. Although Tao Jin himself was a modern person, if he knew about the market in the Tang Dynasty, he was not as good as Yuchi Gong. Although Yuanbao was also a local household in the Tang Dynasty, unfortunately he was a master who had been in the Tao Mansion for many years. He was far less familiar with the matter on the market than Yuchi Gong.

"If you don't have this dish, then as far as I know, all the restaurants in Chang'an City are not required to be eaten!" Yuchi Gong patted his chest and promised Tao Jin that if he opened a restaurant, it would be feasible.

"Since my brother said that, I'll try it in a few days!" Tao Jin was not a rash master. Although Yuchi Gong repeatedly promised, he still wanted to look at the market first. After all, Yuchi Gong had never done business.

"Try the dish? What is the dish?" Yuchi Gong asked in surprise, because he found that his sworn brother seemed to have many wonderful ideas.

"Brother, I'm trying the dishes to promote my future restaurant! If you have tried this dish, but want to eat it again? If you want to eat it again, you have to find a place. If you are promoting it, then it will be my life sign in the future!" Tao Jin briefly told his meaning.

Yuchi Gong nodded and smiled, "This is a trick to lure the enemy into deeper! Brother, you are so smart!"

What's the point? Tao Jin thought to himself: In modern times, you often engage in such activities, first let others taste it for free, and then go public after they feel it is good. Isn't this a marketing method!

However, you must prepare for everything you do. After Yuanbao cleaned up the dishes, Tao Jin made the arrangements for tomorrow. First, he asked Yuanbao to go to the market early tomorrow morning to buy more lamp oil. Second, he went to the cloth shop to buy more white cloth, and Yuchi Gong was responsible for helping to get the oil bought by Yuanbao. After everything was arranged, the three of them went to rest.

The stars blinked in the night sky, and the night was extremely gorgeous. Tao Jin also had his dream of becoming a rich man in the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. In fact, although these looked far away, they were getting closer and closer to Tao Jin step by step.

The next day, but just dawn, Yuanbao woke up Yuchi Gong and Tao Jin. Because Tao Jin said that they delayed today's affairs, they had no good food. For this good food, Yuanbao almost pressed his ear on the rooster, but he just heard the rooster crowing and shouted at them.

Tao Jin stretched his waist, and when it was just dawn, he looked at Yuanbao with some grievance and said, "Yuanbao, this is too early!"

Yuanbao felt a little embarrassed and said in his heart: If it weren’t for what you said, please tell me not to miss the matter, otherwise I would have no food to eat. Would I be so? While thinking, Yuanbao looked at the sky where the stars were still hanging in the sky, and said, “Young Master, the food in the morning is the best. Young Master, don’t you always think that I can’t buy vegetables? Why not, you can go with me while it’s still early!”

Yuchi Gong had already walked into the yard and said to Tao Jin and Yuanbao who were still talking: "Let's go and have a look! Besides, isn't there a lot of food?"

Tao Jin discovered for the first time that Yuchi Gong turned out to be a foodie, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "I won't clean up yet, leave!"

Yuchi Gong twisted his big head and looked at Tao Jin with a hint: "Brother, what you cook is so delicious. Brother, I thought about it all night last night!"

Tao Jin was happy when he heard this and thought to himself: This is not only a foodie, but also a straightforward foodie! However, he was still very happy with Yuchi Gong's reaction, because this proved to a certain extent the market for cooking.

There was still a little mist in Chang'an in the morning, but there were already many people in the market, but most of them were women. After all, in most families, women were still in housework. Tao Jin asked Yuanbao not to worry about him and Yuchi Gong, and just need to go and find the lamp oil. When he found it, he told himself.

Yuanbao responded and left Tao Jin and Yuchi Gong. A big man like Yuchi Gong had never entered the market, and he was a little curious at this time.

Although there are many agricultural and sideline products in the market, some miscellaneous items are placed for sale. Tao Jin was not in a hurry, so he simply pulled Yuchi Gong and started shopping slowly.

There were constant hawking sounds at the market, and Yuchi Gong and Tao Jin watched from both sides, and were also very interested. Suddenly, a small stall covered with a bundle attracted Tao Jin's attention.

What attracted Tao Jin's attention was nothing else, but the small pots on the stall. Although no one cared about it, Tao Jin knew that he was right today because he met a baby.

Yuchi Gong followed Tao Jin's gaze and saw an inconspicuous thin man squatting there in the small stall, lowering his head and not saying hello.

"Brother, what's the best here?" Yuchi Gong saw Tao Jin keep coming to the stall, hurriedly followed him and asked. Because in Yuchi Gong's eyes, Tao Jin now represents wonderful ideas and magic.

Tao Jin squatted in front of the small stall, reached out to touch the things in the clay pot, and said, "These things are treasures!"

After hearing what Tao Jin said, the man raised his head and had a literary face. At this moment, there was a surprise on his face and said, "Sir, can you recognize it?"

Tao Jin smiled and looked at the cumin, peanuts, and pepper in the pottery jar and said, "It's rare that there are these here?"

"How much do you sell?" Tao Jin asked the price directly without saying a word. The man looked at Tao Jin and said, "Since you know the value, I don't want much. Give me one or two silver dollars!"

Although the prices were very high in the early Tang Dynasty, it refers to food. Things like this that no one knows usually have no price, but Tao Jin said without saying a word: "Yes, but I want all of them there!"

The man was startled and said, "I want it all!" Tao Jin nodded and said, "That's right!"

Tao Jin was given a high price, and the man was very happy and said, "Then it's a matter of determination!" As he said that, the man packed up the stall and prepared to take Tao Jin and the others to his house to pick it up. At this time, Yuanbao also bought lamp oil, so Tao Jin took Yuchi Gong and Yuanbao together.

The man lived in a large slum, and there were many families, and the people were very messy. There were widows who made a living by washing clothes for others, carpenters who worked short-term labor everywhere, and some of them could not see Tao Jin. In short, they were all poor families. After turning a few doors, the man led Tao Jin and the others to a cleaner door and said, "You stand here and wait!" After a short while, he walked out with a big bag. He pointed to the bag and said, "This was at the beginning of this year. I saved a Hu Shang. He gave it to me, saying it was fresh and could be used as seeds. But I didn't know these things, so I thought about selling them, but no one knew them! Fortunately, I met you today!"

The man is a real person, but the price is not at all unwilling to suffer any loss. He pointed to the bag and said, "I don't want it if it's too much. There are a small bags in the bag just now. Just give me ten taels of silver!"

Yuanbao opened the bag and looked at it and said, "What's the thing? Do you want it to be so expensive?" As he said that, he looked at Tao Jin and kept winking.

Tao Jin was speechless. He felt that maybe he had time, he should popularize some modern knowledge for Yuanbao. However, Yuchi Gong kept watching, without saying anything, and did not stop Tao Jin. Tao Jin said in his heart: Look, this is so clear!

But Tao Jin didn't know at this time, and Yuchi Gong didn't say anything. He thought that Tao Jin would buy this thing quickly so that he could go back to the market to buy vegetables and cook.

Seeing Yuanbao say this, the man was afraid that Tao Jin would not want to buy it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, you give me ten taels of these, and those I just gave them to you!"

Tao Jin reached out and took the bag, then took out the silver and said, "It's easy to say!" But he gave nine taels of silver. Although the man didn't want ten taels, he was satisfied.

When they arrived at the market, Yuchi Gong, Tao Jin and Yuanbao ate some noodles, bought some vegetables and went back.

Tao Jin was so happy that he got those treasures in his heart that he started a big meal at noon, such as Kung Pao chicken, soft fried croquettes, and braised crucian carp. They were all served. Just smelling the smell made people saliva.
