It was still early in the morning. A crescent moon climbed up from the east, reflecting the stars, illuminating the road for those who were getting up early.

Yang Shen stopped dressing and hurriedly walked out the door. He called the soldiers who had gone out with him to get up and prepare in a hurry. With a crescent moon, more than 20 people were carrying loads and staggeringly walking on the avenue by the Luo River.

Walking to the edge of Huitong Bridge, Yang Shen looked up and saw that the crescent moon had just reached the top of his head.

After taking a breath, Yang Shen directed everyone to remove the load. Just by the roadside, he put the things he brought. Some soldiers began to be busy on the chopping board, some were burning fire, and some went to the street to attract customers.

In the past, during the peaceful season, there were countless morning and night markets in Luoyang City, and food was indispensable all day long. Compared with Kaifeng, Luoyang may not be so lively, but it was not as exquisite as it could be. However, after the Jin soldiers came, this lively scene was never seen again. The people on the road, seeing that they suddenly had a stall today, they couldn't help but feel novel and surrounded them.

Standing in front of the stall and looking for a while, a commoner pointed to a large tank of white things and said, "Master, what is this?"

Yang Shen said: "Tell the client that this is tofu brain. It is made of soybeans like tofu."

After hearing this, a few people stood there and discussed it for a while. Someone said, "I haven't seen this food before, come and try it."

Yang Shen was overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to fill the customer with a full bowl. He poured the marinade prepared early, added a few salted soybeans, sprinkled with coriander slices and chopped green onions, and served them.

The guest picked up a spoon and took a bite carefully. After savoring it for a while, he said to the people around him: "This thing is easy to make trouble, it is smooth and greasy, and it has a refreshing fragrance. In this weather, it's good to eat, so you can also have a bowl."

A man next to him heard this and looked up at the moon in the sky. Suddenly a cool breeze blew and his body shrank. He said, "Liu Lang, this master said it was a brain, and only said it was made of soybeans. Do you think that in this weather, is it really a human brain?"

After hearing this, the person who was eating tofu brain was shocked and almost threw the bowl to the ground. At this time, at this time, there were many markets in Luoyang City. If it was outside the city, it was generally called Cao Market. It was not uncommon to sell food and various goods. At this time, there was another name, Gui Market. Because it was not dawn, people thought that not only people came to this market, but also ghosts. In later generations, people had already known that there were no ghosts and gods in the world, so they didn't care about these. The name of the ghost market was not mentioned, but was just collectively called the morning market.

This era is different. People really believe in ghosts and gods. They are just used to it and are not afraid. The reason why tofu brain is called a brain is because it is a bit like an animal's brain. It's okay if you don't say it, but if someone connects it, what's wrong in the ghost market?

The person who ate tofu brain was so scared that his brain was unstable and trembled. He stepped forward and asked Yang Shen: "Master, where did you come from? Why haven't you seen it before? Such a big business suddenly started?"

Yang Shen said: "We are subordinates of General Wang who entered the city the day before yesterday. We cannot make a living in the city, so we can do some business and make some money."

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and patted his chest and said, "Just now, my companion said that it was food, which looked like a human being. I am afraid that it was something unclean, and doing business as a guise, but it was actually a threat to harm people. Since he was in General Wang's army, there would naturally be nothing wrong."

Yang Shen laughed at the ear: "What do you think of! This is made of soybeans, we have worked a lot of effort! Don't worry, our business must be done until dawn. If there is a ghost to do business, they will leave before dawn."

After hearing Yang Shen's words, the people around him were talking for a while and they felt much more relieved.

The newly fried fried dough sticks there were served, and they were fragrant. Yang Shen said: "It is perfect to use fried dough sticks with tofu brain. If you have money, you can buy some fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu brain, which is the most delicious."

Someone asked: "What is fried dough stick?"

Zhang Jun, who was directing the fried dough sticks, said: "The fried dough sticks are made of white flour and fried in the pot with oil. Look, they are golden, but they are rare! If you eat a few, you won't be hungry all day!"

Wang Xiaoli won the first victory in Yong'an, and later defended Gong County. They were all in Henan Prefecture, and he had a good impression of the people here. He heard Yang Shen say that it was Wang Xiaoliu's army, so he relaxed and came to take care of the business.

Soon, a lot of fried dough sticks and tofu brains were sold. People who woke up early held bowls in one hand and pinched fried dough sticks in the other, squatting on the side of the road to enjoy this unprecedented delicacy. In this situation, there was a shadow of the prosperity of Luoyang in the past.

After nearly an hour, the sky gradually became brighter. The crescent moon in the sky gradually slid to the west.

Yang Shen straightened his waist and said to the soldiers around him: "I don't want the business to be so good! We sold most of the time before dawn."

Zhang Jun on the side said, "I heard from diners that they heard that we were all subordinates of the little housekeepers and came to take care of the business. However, our food was really delicious and we were very satisfied with what we came."

Yang Shen said: "That's natural! Although these foods are simple, have they eaten them before? And the price is not expensive."

These foods are simple but very complicated to make. Yang Shen brought these people, although they often made them for the army to eat in Kaifeng, their skills were still average. Fortunately, they were strange and people had never eaten them before, so they still regarded them as delicious.

The soldiers nodded one after another. Unexpectedly, Luoyang City is so depressed and there is such a good business.

In fact, although the Jin army burned the city and its population decreased greatly, Luoyang City was still prosperous than ordinary state cities. Once they entered the city, they looked broken walls and ruins. After they really looked at it carefully, they found that there were still a large population. This is not unusual. Luoyang was too prosperous in the past, and there were many people who escaped after the Jin soldiers broke through. When they came back, they could still support a city.

Yang Shen said: "There is only one tank of tofu brain left, which is not enough to sell. Are the Hu cakes baked there? We sell soup at dawn!"

Until now, the mutton soup has not been sold there. According to Yang Shen’s plan yesterday, he first sold fried dough sticks and tofu brains, and only then started selling mutton soup, sesame cakes, fried dough sticks, etc. Because according to the taste of Yang Shen’s trial, he felt that these local flavors were slightly worse than fried dough sticks and tofu brains.

People in this era still lack oil in their stomachs. When they eat fried dough sticks all at once, they all find it delicious.

It was getting brighter at this time, and the people who worked early dispersed. Ordinary people had not yet gotten up, and the business was much lighter. Yang Shen arranged for a group of soldiers to take turns to eat, waiting for the arrival of a new wave of guests.

Zhang Jun made a big bowl of soup, held it with his hands and squatted on a small wooden stool. He grabbed two big meat buns with his other hand, took a big bite, and took a sip of the soup, which was very pleasant. In Wang Xiaoliu Army, not to mention anything else, the food was particularly good.

In later generations, the most famous food in Luoyang City was soup. Beef soup and tofu soup were the most common. Later generations liked to find or compile various history for food. Jiangnan and Hebei liked to cling to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Luoyang and Xi'an were different, and liked to go back to the Qin and Han dynasties. Most people later knew that it was fake, but when introducing it, they still had to add this legend.

The history of beef soup cannot last long. Not to mention the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, in the New China, it was also banned from slaughtering oxen in the beginning. There were really vegetable beef, and beef entered into the normal recipes of people, and it was not until the 1980s. Whether it was beef soup or braised beef, it was almost certain that there was a problem saying that it had been passed down for hundreds of years. Especially the craftsmanship of braised beef is probably passed down from the mortal cattle in history. Some people say that pigs are cheap meat, and beef and mutton are the high-end meats in ancient times, and there is basically no basis for it. There is really cheap meat, which should have been beef, donkey meat, and so on in ancient times. Most of the time, killing large livestock is forbidden.
