- When the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Hao stretched out and walked out of the main room.
The Gao family father and son were in the courtyard, watching the carpenter measuring the dimensions of doors and windows. Zhao Hao no longer needs to worry about chores such as replacing doors and windows, painting walls and replacing tiles.
Seeing that the young master got up so early, Old Man Gao hurriedly prepared toiletries for him and said with a smile: "The master also said that the young master stayed up all night composing poems last night and could only get up at noon today."
"Well" Zhao Hao responded vaguely. In fact, he went to bed earlier than usual last night, and by now he really couldn't fall asleep.
He didn¡¯t write the poem, he just wrote it silently from his mind. How much time did it take?
The so-called staying up all night was just Zhao Shouzheng's imagination.
Although Zhao Hao has no intention of making a name for himself through poetry, he will not argue with Old Man Gao about it.
After he washed his face with Wan Xiangju soap and brushed his teeth with the best tooth powder, Old Man Gao brought breakfast over.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao looked at the duck blood vermicelli and steamed steamed buns on the table and felt they looked familiar.
"Miss Qiaoqiao sent this this morning. She said she would make it earlier in the future." Old Man Gao said happily, feeling that he had saved money for the young master again, but when he saw Zhao Hao using chopsticks to pick up the vermicelli in the bowl, he felt a little appetizing. depressed.
"What, sir, is it not to your liking?" Old Man Gao observed his words and said, "Then let's find another restaurant in the future"
"Have you brought the powder I asked you to grind yesterday?" Zhao Hao put down his chopsticks and looked at Old Man Gao.
"Young master, if you give me an order, can you neglect me?" Old Man Gao immediately took out a rough porcelain bottle the size of a fist from his arms and presented it like a treasure.
Zhao Hao took it and pulled out the cork, and an alluring aroma hit his nostrils.
He tilted the mouth of the bottle and poured some powder into his hand. He saw that the scallop powder was much finer than his white sugar.
"How can it be ground so finely?"
"First cut it into small pieces, and then slowly grind it with a small stone mill. Anyway, the old man felt that it was too small, so he grinded it for most of the night." Old Man Gao smiled reservedly.
¡°I¡¯m very particular about what I do!¡± Zhao Hao extended his thumb in praise.
"The old man used to make muskets. A barrel needs to be struck a hundred thousand times. What does this little effort mean?"
"Haha" Zhao Haoxin said, if you weren't a gun maker, why would I care so little about you?
While speaking, he poured all the powder in his hand into the soup bowl, stirred it with a spoon, took a spoonful and took a sip, and immediately let out a long aftertaste sound.
"Well, it's the internal smell"
"Sir, does it taste different if you add this?" Old Man Gao asked curiously, seeing Zhao Hao drinking a few sips with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Just try it." Zhao Hao handed him the spoon.
Old man Gao wiped his hands and took it, scooping a spoonful into his mouth. He felt that the duck blood vermicelli soup he was used to drinking in the past had a completely different taste. It was so delicious that it made people want to cry.
"This, this, this is delicious, isn't it?" Old Man Gao trembled with excitement and wanted to take a few more sips, but was too embarrassed to do it.
"Drink it all." Zhao Hao waved his hand, took a steamed bun and started eating it. I thought the scallops were no joke, they were something fresher than chicken essence. The healthiest natural MSG in four hundred years
Old man Gao also felt that how could he let the young master touch the soup he had drunk again? He took it over and drank it one after another, his eyebrows were dancing and he was full of praise: "How can there be such a delicious and exquisite thing in this world? This old man will never forget this taste in his life"
"Hey, please keep your voice down" Zhao Hao glanced at the carpenter working outside and whispered: "The secret recipe is no longer a secret recipe if others know it."
"That little old man" Old Man Gao couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"My father and I are family, so of course it doesn't matter." Zhao Hao was used to winning people's hearts and said to Old Man Gao with a smile.
"Don't worry, young master, the old man will keep this secret in his belly, and even Gao Wu won't tell it!" Old man Gao felt a surge of heat and hurriedly patted his chest as he assured.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Hao spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen of the blacksmith shop, studying the final formula with Old Man Gao.
In order to achieve the best effect, he also contributed the last pound of sugar at home which Zhao Shouzheng used when he went to Deheng last time. Because Mr. Zhao was extremely unhappy with Zhang Yuanwai, he actually took that pound of sugar with him again. After returning home, I ate a few more taels in the past two days.
According to the memory of his previous life, Zhao Hao asked Old Man Gao to add a little ginger juice, white sugar and wine to the scallops, marinate them, steam them, and then grind them into powder, which would better stimulate their freshness.?, get rid of its fishy smell.
Then I tried adding mushroom powder, dried shrimps powder and seaweed powder On the one hand, it is to continue to enhance the freshness, and more importantly, it is to prevent people from guessing the real ingredients of this fresh powder.
The two of them kept groping and comparing various ingredients until it got dark, and finally came up with a formula that was twice as fresh as simply using scallop powder.
Zhao Hao has never had trouble with himself. Feeling that it was almost done, he washed off the ingredients on his hands and told Old Man Gao: "I will give you twenty taels of silver tomorrow morning to buy the best ingredients and make them all in the same way!"
After a pause, he smiled again: "Of course, I can continue to explore and see if the umami taste can be improved"
"Understood, Master!" Old Man Gao's expression perked up, as if the sense of mission of making guns to fight against Japan had returned to him.
"By the way, did you rent or buy this shop?" Zhao Hao asked.
¡°Originally, I rented it, but later I spent three hundred taels to buy it with the money I earned from knocking gun barrels and killing Japanese pirates with Gao Wu.¡± Old Man Gao replied hurriedly.
"" Zhao Hao was speechless secretly for a while, thinking to himself, no wonder the old man said that if my family was short of money, he could help. I thought it was just a polite comment, but I didn't expect that she really has such confidence
It¡¯s right to think about it. A shabby yard like his can be sold for fifty taels. This kind of two-story shop facing the street with a back house, even in Caijia Lane, costs about five hundred taels.
Old Man Gao was able to get it so cheaply after renting it for a few years and then catching up with the landlord who was in urgent need of money.
Zhao Hao could take out more than three hundred taels by gritting his teeth, but how could he take advantage of his own people?
As for the two thousand five hundred taels he borrowed from the pawn shop, he had other uses and couldn't touch it at all.
"If it's useful, young master, just take it and use it." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Old Man Gao took the initiative and said: "This blacksmith shop can't be opened anyway. The old man is thinking about whether it's better to sell it out or rent it out."
¡°Have you ever considered using this shop to directly invest in shares?¡± Zhao Hao asked.
"I told you, Master, take it directly if you want to use it," Old Man Gao said anxiously: "It's not okay to meet the old man outside"
"Okay, let me make the decision on this matter. In short, you and your son will not suffer any loss." Zhao Hao hated being sloppy, so he threw the face towel to Old Man Gao and said: "I won't make dinner, go to the restaurant and order a good table." Come on, let¡¯s celebrate my father¡¯s success.¡±
"Ohyes." Old Man Gao responded, but he was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of skill he was celebrating?
??~~
When the food and wine were delivered and the bowls and chopsticks were placed, Zhao Shouzheng and Fan Datong also came back.
"Wow, it smells so good" Fan Datong started shouting outside before he entered the door.
Zhao Hao welcomed him into the courtyard with a smile, and confidently held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my father for your blockbuster success."
"Alas, it's hard to explain in one sentence" Zhao Shouzheng waved his hands and cupped his hands towards Zhao Haogong and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for my son again."
"What kind of trouble could it be?" Zhao Hao was already used to it, and he could still laugh.
Zhao Shouzheng stepped aside and saw something shining in the darkness.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but was stunned, thinking that his father's lighting tool was interesting, but he didn't know where he found it.
