The next day, Su Yu was woken up by the heat. When he opened his eyes, he saw a golden furball nestled tightly around his neck. Its long tail stretched into his inner shirt. He didn't know what kind of sweet dream it was having, but the furry tip of its tail was still gently flapping.
"Good morning, sauce." Su Yu pulled out the long tail and rubbed his chin against the furry head.
An Hong-chul stretched out its paw to press Su Yu's moving chin and yawned loudly.
Today, he didn't need to set up his stall. Su Yu planned to solve his financing problem. He hugged the furball and lazed around in bed for a while. "Hey, when can we sleep until the sun is high up in the sky?"
The kitten sitting on Su Yu's chest scratched its ears with its back paw. If you serve me well, I'll get whatever I want.
That being said, for Su Yu, who worked hard, sleeping until the sun was high up in the sky meant that both he and the cat would go hungry. After being lovey-dovey for a while, he consciously went to the kitchen and cooked a small pot of seafood porridge with fresh shrimp, squid tentacles, and two small crabs. The soft and glutinous rice was mixed with pink and white shrimp and crab, sprinkled with a few green chives, and drizzled with sesame oil. The fresh and delicious taste immediately overflowed.
The man and the cat ate a delicious meal, and then they started to do business.
Prince Zhao had left this jade slip behind in a strange way, but Su Yu had no other choice now. He could only bite the bullet and ask An Hong to abandon his habit of squatting and playing.
In his previous life, when the restaurant was about to be expanded, Su Yu had followed the boss to get investors. At that time, the boss had asked people to prepare an exquisite business plan and a table of high-end seafood dishes that Su Yu had personally made. In order to get investors to invest, there had to be some finished products. Su Yu didn't know how to write a business plan, but he could write a menu.
The Sichuan Cuisine that Su Yu was good at cooking would not be of any use before the chili was found. Fortunately, Su Yu still had the family heirloom, Su Yu's Recipes. He had already thoroughly studied the first few dishes.
For example, the first three dishes on Su Yu's menu were "Silk Twined White Jade Scallop," "Tai Chi Yin Yang Prawns," and "Xianbei Tofu Soup." The names seemed very profound, but in fact, it was just "Steamed Scallop with Garlic and Vermicelli," "One Prawn for Two," and "Steamed Tofu with Dried Scallop and Shrimp." These dishes were very simple to make for Su Yu. He just needed to gather the ingredients. The first few dishes, plus a few types of fish soup, seafood porridge, and seafood noodles that he knew, and if that didn't work, he could just add in some barbecue. A recipe was more or less enough.
It's just that … Su Yu scratched his head and looked at the kitten that had eaten its fill and was licking its paws leisurely. He had a bitter expression on his face. "Sauce, do you know how to write with a brush?"
An Hong-chul stretched out his claws and glanced disdainfully at Su Yu. 'How can my calligraphy be used to write a menu? This stupid slave is getting bolder and bolder.'
The traditional Chinese characters that he barely managed to write were too horrible to look at. Su Yu simply threw away his brush and went out to buy soy sauce. As a chef, he should give up on writing and focus on cooking.
Da An dynasty already had soy sauce, but there was only one variety. It wasn't as varied as the ones in later generations. Soy sauce was very important to many seafood dishes, especially those simple dishes. Soy sauce was the soul of the dish.
The advantage of the soy sauce in ancient times was that it was brewed with natural ingredients. The taste was pure, and there were no industrial ingredients mixed in. The disadvantage was that the taste was too pure. It only had a salty and saucy taste, and it lacked freshness. The key to freshness was sugar.
He put a bowl of river prawns in water and boiled it until the broth changed color. Then, he took out the river prawns and added a few tablespoons of soy sauce and white sugar. Originally, when brewing soy sauce, brown sugar was added. However, this kind of soy sauce had a heavy color, and adding brown sugar would make it look worse. Therefore, Su Yu chose white sugar. Not long after, a bottle of seafood soy sauce was freshly made. This was his secret weapon.
"His Highness said that he will not see any guests." The guards impatiently drove away the crowd in front of the gate.
"This official has something important to discuss with His Highness. Please inform him." A person wearing an official's uniform was negotiating with the guard with a worried expression.
"Lord Zhang, don't waste your time. His Highness won't see us." Another white-bearded official sighed. The Emperor had not come to court for more than a month. The people in court were in a state of panic. There were even rumors that the Emperor would not live for long. They were also desperate and had come here to try their luck.
A furry head popped out from Su Yu's lapel, and its amber eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Yu helplessly pushed the cat's head back in. Seeing so many people being stopped, he felt a little uneasy. He repeatedly confirmed the speech he had prepared in front of the door. Clenching the green jade piece in his hand, he lifted his feet and squeezed through.
"Who are you?" The guard in front of the door stopped him.
"This humble one is Su Yu, an old friend of His Highness. I have a token here, please inform His Highness on my behalf." Su Yu held the soy sauce in one hand behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and showed the green jade slip in his hand.
When the guard saw the jade slip, his expression turned solemn. He raised his hand and said, "Mister, please come in."
Everyone was shocked as they looked at the simply dressed Su Yu.
Su Yu never thought that the green jade slip would be this useful. Under the pressure of everyone's gazes, he pretended to be calm as he walked in.
Pavilions, pavilions, and streams. Every five steps there was a scenery, every ten steps there was a pavilion. The king's palace was very luxurious. It could be seen just how much His Highness loved his little brother.
"This king said that he won't see any guests." Prince Zhao, who was wearing a royal blue robe, sat in the pavilion and impatiently waved his hand.
"His Highness, it's the person with the jade slip." The guard reported in a low voice.
An Hong, who was eating a small fish cake, nudged his head.
After the crowd dispersed, the golden kitten immediately jumped out of his lapel and onto the stone table.
"Sauce, don't be rude!" Su Yu was shocked. He quickly reached out to catch it, but he couldn't.
"What did you call him?" Prince Zhao's sharp ears heard the strange name, and his eyes almost popped out. He pointed at the cat on the table. "Hahahaha … Ouch!" An Hong judged Φ to be ignorant of the situation. Na Huo Huan Dui Huan Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Zhao Ding Huang Tu
When Su Yu saw the prince being scratched, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly bowed and said, "This little pet is innocent. I hope the prince will forgive me!"
Su Yu's mouth twitched. He finally understood why the Emperor trusted Prince Zhao so much. With such an unreliable appearance, he definitely wouldn't try to seize the throne.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, I have some feelings for this cat. I gave you the jade slip because of him." An Hongpang Huizha: Huizha Huizha: Huizha Huizha.
Su Yu frowned. "He …"

Su Yu did not explain much and only said that he wanted to borrow the kitchen.
"Hey, hey, don't bite me …" As soon as Su Yu left, Prince Zhao was bitten by the cat on the table. He rubbed his ears as if he had been wronged. "You're living a good life with the heir of the Su family, but I haven't even had a taste of it. If you want me to pay for it, I have to give you something in return."
An Hong-chul glanced at his good-for-nothing younger brother. He really didn't want to admit that they were born from the same mother.
