The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"The pickled cabbage in pickled fish is also very delicious." Lin Zhi reminded softly.

Upon hearing this, Daya immediately reached for the sauerkraut on the plate with her chopsticks.

The sauerkraut has a crisp texture and a sour aroma, and every bite is full of unique flavor.

The mellow sour taste blends well with the deliciousness of the fish, which not only removes the fishy smell and enhances the freshness, but also adds a sense of layering to the dish.

Daya ate with gusto, her face full of a satisfied smile.

Daya turned her eyes to the golden soup and muttered to herself, "This soup looks delicious!"

But she still suppressed the urge to taste it immediately. After all, she had already tasted it so many times in advance, and it seemed a bit impolite to eat more.

So, Daya decided to serve the pickled fish first: "Mom, I'll serve it first, you come here quickly!"

Lin Zhi waved his hand: "You guys eat first, I'll have to wait a while."

Daya carefully carried the fish out, and Madam Zhou had already started making the second serving of pickled fish.

"Add some tofu to this portion." Lin Zhi ordered.

This portion is for the employees. If there were only fish fillets, it would not be enough for all of them, so some side dishes need to be added to increase the portion.

Madam Zhou nodded, her mind already drifting to the pickled fish that the maid had brought out.

Even though she didn't taste the finished product, just looking at it and smelling it made her drool.

While Madam Zhou was making pickled fish, Lin Zhi continued to prepare the dishes.

The second dish is a great dish to go with rice - stir-fried sour beans with minced meat.

July and August are the harvest season for beans. We pinch the beans and then pinch them again as they grow longer. We cannot eat all the beans grown at home.

The leftover beans are either dried and preserved or pickled into sour beans, which are also very cheap.

Lin Zhi bought three pounds of sour beans and only spent four cents. This price was really too good to be true!

So she immediately decided to ask the seller to send another large jar to the store tomorrow so that she could eat it slowly.

Lin Zhi first washes the sour beans, cuts them into small pieces, and then soaks them in clean water for later use.

Because Lin Zhi doesn't like sour beans that are too sour or too salty, he needs to put them in water to dilute the sourness and saltiness.

Next, she began to prepare the other ingredients: minced the pork belly; minced the garlic and ginger, and cut the dried chili into sections. Everything was ready.

At this time, you can take out the sour beans soaked in water and squeeze out the water.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhou had finished preparing the huge portion of pickled fish. She quickly cleaned the pot so that Lin Zhi could stir-fry the pickled beans.

Lin Zhi was seen pouring cold oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, he put in the minced meat and stir-fried until it changed color. He then added minced garlic, minced ginger and dried chili segments, and stir-fried out the tempting aroma.

Then she poured in the sour beans and continued to stir-fry evenly.

Add a little rice wine to remove the fishy smell, and then add soy sauce, appropriate amount of salt, sugar and the flavor-enhancing powder she made herself. After seasoning, continue to stir-fry until the sour beans are cooked, and finally serve.

This dish is so simple that it requires no technical skills at all. You can easily master it after just one look at it.

Madam Zhou was no exception. She only took a glance and immediately understood the trick.

"Fry some more vegetables and then call everyone to eat." Lin Zhi gave a simple instruction, picked up the food for their family of four, turned around and left the kitchen.

She walked briskly through the corridor and came to her own courtyard.

Today, Lin Zhi specially prepared some extra braised food to serve as work meals for the employees.

The new employees have not tasted braised food yet.

Ever since Madam Zhou started to be responsible for the employees' three meals a day, Lin Zhi no longer used the store's food for work meals.

Today's staff meal includes: a pickled fish, a plate of pickled beans with minced meat, a portion of braised meat, a stir-fried vegetable and a bowl of hot soup.

This sumptuous working meal is mouth-watering and can definitely satisfy the employees' taste buds.

When Lin Zhi walked into the yard carrying the pickled beans, the three little guys were surrounding the pickled fish, staring at it with their eyes wide open and swallowing their saliva.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why don't you start eating?" Lin Zhi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the three children drooling but trying hard to hold back their food.

Daya ran over happily, took the dish from Lin Zhi, and said, "It will taste better if we eat it together with mother."

The three little ones had already put the dishes and chopsticks neatly in place, and they thoughtfully served Lin Zhi some soup and placed it aside to cool.

Lin Zhi has a habit of drinking a bowl of soup before eating.

The three little guys saw this detail and kept it in mind.

Gradually, they also developed this good habit, and even they who were not interested in soup before now will take the initiative to drink a bowl of soup before every meal.

Lin Zhi sat down with a smile, gently picked up the spoon, and slowly tasted the bowl of soup at just the right temperature.

At this time, the three little guys began to pick up their own small bowls and enjoy the delicious fish soup.

In just a few sips, the three little ones finished a bowl of soup. Then they couldn't wait to stretch out their chopsticks at the same time and reach for the big bowl full of pickled fish.

"Hmm! Delicious, so delicious!" Dalang exclaimed incoherently while chewing the fish.

"This fish is so fresh and tender!" Erlang's eyes lit up and he excitedly picked up another big piece and put it into his mouth.

Daya had already tasted the sauerkraut fish in the kitchen, but when she put the fish into her mouth again, she was still shocked by its unique taste.

"How delicious it would be if it were spicier!" she said with some regret in her tone.

Among the three, only Daya has a special liking for spicy food.

On weekdays, everyone's taste for food is relatively light, and it is a rare opportunity to taste such spicy and delicious dishes, which made her enjoy the meal particularly well.

However, the only drawback is that the spiciness of this dish is not strong enough.

Lin Zhi smiled and explained, "Actually, I wanted to add more chili peppers, but when I thought about having to spend time making herbal tea after eating, I gave up the idea."

At this moment, she finally finished the bowl of soup in her hand and was communicating with Daya in a happy mood.

Due to their current geographical location, the climate is hot and humid all year round, and eating chili or fried food can easily cause getting a sore throat.

Therefore, whenever Lin Zhi wanted to try these steaming delicacies, he would always make a pot of herbal tea afterwards to neutralize the heat in his body.

This can satisfy your appetite while maintaining a healthy balance of your body.

After hearing this, Daya dared not mention adding more chili peppers. They wished Lin Zhi could spend more time writing novels. How could he waste her time like this?

Feeling that she had said something wrong, Daya lowered her head and ate the food. Unexpectedly, she accidentally ate a Sichuan peppercorn, and her tongue became numb instantly.
