A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

The back door of Xianju Pavilion.

Morning is the busiest time at the back door of Xianju Pavilion because it has to prepare for lunch and dinner business.

Therefore, vendors of all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish, meats, eggs, vegetables and firewood were coming and going in and out of the back door one after another.

When Leng Yan and his companions arrived, they saw such a busy scene.

Seeing that there were several vendors waiting in front of him, Leng Yan consciously queued up.

The waiter at Xianju Pavilion weighed the items and paid them promptly, and it was their turn soon.

"Old man, is this game or vegetables in your basket?"

Seeing that they were unfamiliar faces and dressed simply, the boy guessed that they were either hunters or were selling vegetables they grew themselves.

Seeing the young man's good attitude, Old Man Leng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the words his granddaughter had taught him, "These are vegetables grown at home. I wonder if your store will accept them?"

As they spoke, Leng Yan, Leng Huai and others nearby lifted the curtain on the basket, revealing the juicy and plump bean sprouts inside!

"what is this?"

The young man was surprised. He thought it would be some ordinary radishes and cabbages, but it turned out to be something he had never seen before.

"This is silver sprouts. They are delicious. They can be stir-fried, mixed, or cooked into soup. They are all delicious!"

Silver sprouts are like a layer of gold plated on bean sprouts by Leng Yan. They sound nice and are not easy to be discovered so quickly. Silver sprouts are grown from soybeans.

"Silver Bud, how come I've never heard of it?"

The young man was very curious and took a closer look at the plump white silver sprouts, thinking that they must taste good.

However, he could not make the decision, so he just said, "Wait a minute, I have to ask Chef Yang for his opinion."

Leng Yan expressed her understanding and spoke in a considerate manner.

"My family has only one copy of this silver sprout, so it will naturally be the first copy once it is made into a dish. If we sell it, others won't even have a chance to compete."

The young man's eyes lit up. If that was the case, and he succeeded in getting the matter done, his boss would definitely give him a raise.

Thinking of this, the young man quickened his pace.

"Chef Yang, Chef Yang, there's something good coming through the back door, come over and take a look!"

The young man knew very well that the chefs in Xianju Pavilion came and went, some left or were poached, but the boss didn't get anxious or angry.

It’s because the owner firmly believes that Chef Yang will not leave, and as long as Chef Yang does not leave, Xianju Pavilion will be able to continue operating.

As for Chef Yang, his boss has been very kind to him and they are like brothers, so he will never betray him no matter what.

"What a good thing, but someone has hunted a deer!"

Chef Yang, who was busy at work, saw Qingxi coming in a hurry and thought it was the sika deer he had been thinking about.

Qingxi shook his head and said, "It's not a deer, it's a vegetable called silver sprout. I've never seen it before, so I came here to ask you to take a look."

When Chef Yang heard that it was vegetables, he was not disappointed. Just a few days ago, several old customers complained to him that there were too few varieties of vegetables in winter.

Eating too much chicken and duck meat is too greasy. Are there any refreshing dishes that can relieve the greasiness?

Don't be fooled by these rich people who say they want to eat refreshing food. If he really cooks some vegetables in plain water and serves them on the table to relieve the greasiness, they will not be fooled easily.

He had been worrying about this matter these days. When he heard the news, he immediately asked Qingxi to lead the way.

The vendors at the back door were still busy coming in and out, and Leng Yan and a few others were asked to wait aside.

After a while, they saw the young man coming with a middle-aged man in his forties.

The temperature in the kitchen was high. The middle-aged man was dressed thinly and neatly. His rolled-up sleeves revealed his strong arms, and it was obvious that he was good at wielding a big spoon.

"Where is the silver sprout?"

Chef Yang's eyes searched everywhere.

"This is Chef Yang from our restaurant."

Qingxi followed and introduced, "Chef Yang and Silver Buds are what they sell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yan asked his elder brother to lift the curtain again, revealing the moist silver buds inside.

"Chef Yang, take a look."

Seeing the juicy silver sprouts, Chef Yang was also stunned. He walked forward and picked up a silver sprout.

"The whole body is plump and slender, and the petals and leaves are tender yellow. It really lives up to the name of silver bud."

Afterwards, he folded the silver bud in half. He was first surprised by its crispness, and then he was amazed by its moist and sweet taste when he took a bite.

"Uncle, how do you eat this silver sprout? Is there any recipe?"

In fact, Chef Yang already had a few recipes in mind, but he just wanted to see if the silver sprouts would give him a bigger surprise.

Seeing that there was a chance, Old Man Leng turned his gaze to Leng Yan.

Chef Yang went to see with confusion, and saw a little girl smiling at him.

"Of course there is a recipe, but I don't know how much of this silver sprout Chef Yang wants!"

Leng Yan is not stupid. How could it be possible that he wanted her to get the recipe before buying anything?

"The little girl is really smart."

Chef Yang grinned, "Don't worry, I want them all. I'm not dissatisfied with what you said. This silver sprout is fresh and tender. I also have a recipe in mind.

I'm asking this now just to know how much I know about cooking silver sprouts so as not to waste such fresh ingredients."

In short, it is stir-fry or cold salad. These are what I figured out after some research. As for whether there are more complicated cooking methods, I have not figured them out yet.

"Don't worry, as long as you give me the recipe, I will definitely pay for it!"

It seems that this is a chef who is obsessed with cooking. He studies every ingredient and cooking method to the utmost.

Leng Yan felt a sense of mutual respect, so he said, "Of course I have one. Can I borrow the kitchen for use?"

It's not lunch time yet, so the kitchen is not busy.

Leng Yan was also in a hurry, so she glanced at the food area and had a recipe in mind for a dish of shredded chicken with silver sprouts.

I saw her cutting, washing, cooking, and frying, and the series of operations were smooth and flowing. In just a short while, a plate of shredded chicken with silver sprouts was ready.

Just looking at the appearance, the silver sprouts and shredded chicken have an elegant color, but when you eat them, you will find the silver sprouts are crispy and the chicken shreds are tender, which is extremely delicious and refreshing.

Chef Yang took a piece of food with chopsticks and his eyes immediately lit up.

He immediately asked someone to call over Manager Zhao, and asked him to discuss the purchase of the house with Leng Yan and his party, as well as the supply of silver sprouts.

The owner of Xianju Pavilion is surnamed Zhao, and the shopkeeper Zhao is a relative of the owner.

He is in charge of the management of Xianju Pavilion and does not interfere in the affairs of the kitchen. After tasting the shredded chicken with silver sprouts, he was quite satisfied and let Chef Yang make all the decisions.

In the end, the silver sprouts were purchased at eight cents per pound. They brought thirty-five pounds and sold them for a total of two hundred and eighty copper coins.

Soybeans cost five copper coins per pound. Leng Yan produced six pounds of soybeans this time, and the cost was only thirty copper coins. This was a huge profit margin.

As for the recipe for shredded silver sprout chicken, Leng Yan offered it half price for the sake of long-term development and only took ten taels of silver.

But even so, Mr. Leng and his companions were still shocked.

"Big sister, you really sold it for so much money, are you dreaming?"

Leng Cang felt dizzy. In his opinion, no matter how delicious the silver sprouts were, they were not as attractive as the fat meat.

Vegetables alone can be sold at such a high price. It would be more satisfying to eat meat and rice.
