The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

After noon, the diners at Ruyi Tower gradually dispersed.

Lin Xiaoman and Li Taohua went to the kitchen together.

Shopkeeper Tong tactfully asked all the kitchen staff to leave, leaving only himself.

"Miss Xiaoman, the fish has been processed according to your request, and the pickled vegetables have been prepared. Do you think we should start now?"

"Row."

Lin Xiaoman nodded.

Li Taohua has made pickled fish at home at least ten times, and her skill in slicing fish is even more proficient than Lin Xiaoman.

The two worked in perfect harmony. Li Taohua processed the grass carp and cut the fish into fillets of uniform thickness and size.

Lin Xiaoman prepared the sauerkraut, put the fish fillets in a basin, added salt to wash away the blood, and squeezed out the water after washing twice.

Put the washed fish fillets into a bowl, add salt, cooking wine, pepper and other seasonings, and stir clockwise. Gradually, a layer of mucus appeared on the surface of the fish meat, as if it was covered with a layer of egg liquid. Only then did Lin Xiaoman stop.

Then add some powder, stir well and pour in two spoons of rapeseed oil.

The fish fillet is ready.

Then heat the oil in a pan, put the fish head, fish bones and other parts into the pan and stir-fry until the fish bones are fried and fragrant, add ginger and garlic, stir-fry for a while, then add the sauerkraut prepared in advance and continue to stir-fry.

Wait until the sauerkraut is coated with a layer of oil, add water, add salt and other seasonings after boiling, and continue boiling for a while.

Then add bean sprouts, and put them in the bottom of the bowl after they are cooked. Finally, add the fish fillets evenly one by one, and wait until the fish fillets change color. Pour the whole pot into the bowl.

Under the surprised gaze of Manager Tong, Lin Xiaoman washed the pot and continued to add oil.

When the hot oil in the pot starts to steam, sprinkle the peppercorns, minced garlic, dried chilies, and chopped green onions on the surface of the fish.

"Thorn-"

Hot oil was poured into the basin, and the fish that had nothing special just now seemed to come alive at this moment.

The whole kitchen was instantly filled with the fragrance of fish.

Shopkeeper Tong came over curiously, "Is this the so-called pickled fish?"

"Yes, the next step is grilled fish."

Lin Xiaoman looked at the full tank of oil on the table with envy.

It is indeed a big restaurant, with plenty of ingredients.

To grill the fish, put the fish in a frying pan and fry it until it is golden and crispy.

If she were at home, she wouldn't dare do this in front of Li Taohua.

But in the restaurant, Lin Xiaoman at least didn't have to look at Li Taohua's eyes twisted by heartache.

Lin Xiaoman made a few cuts on the fish's back and put the fish into a pot to marinate. At the same time, she prepared the tofu skin, cucumber, onion, bean sprouts and other side dishes.

Then pour cold oil into the hot pan, and when the oil is hot, put the whole fish into the pan.

Do not turn the fish over after putting it in the pan. Wait until the fish skin is fried until it is set, then use a spatula to turn the fish meat. Finally, fry until both sides are golden brown and then remove from the pan.

Then she spread a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot, put in the side dishes, and placed the fish on top of the side dishes.

Heat oil in another pan and prepare the sauce for the grilled fish.

Pour the sauce into the pot with the side dishes and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. When the sauce has completely absorbed the fish, Lin Xiaoman carefully serves the grilled fish.

She took great pains to maintain her beauty.

The last step is the same as that of pickled fish. Sprinkle in minced garlic, dried chili peppers, and chopped green onions, then sprinkle on a spoonful of hot oil. The aroma of the grilled fish will become more intense.

"Uncle Tong, I'm fine." Lin Xiaoman shook his sore arms and looked at the stunned shopkeeper Tong with a smile.

"You need to prepare a hot pot for grilling fish. In the cold winter, put the prepared side dishes in the bottom of the hot pot, cover the fried golden and crispy grass carp on the side dishes, pour in the prepared sauce, sprinkle with hot oil, and it's ready to serve."

"The hot pot cooks slowly, and by the time the guests have finished eating the fish, the side dishes underneath are also cooked."

Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but feel envious when she thought of that scene.

Wow, that's really comfortable!

-

The waiter brought the dishes to the lobby.

A pair of diners who had just walked to the door were attracted by the aroma.

"What is the taste?"

The two men saw Xiao Er coming out from the inner room with a basin in his hand. The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and they could not walk after smelling it from a distance.

"Shopkeeper Tong, what is this?"

"This is a food tasting in our shop, please excuse us, dear guest."

"Oh, it smells weird."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Shopkeeper Tong had to persuade the customer to leave with great effort.

As soon as the guests left, he immediately ordered the waiter to close the door of Ruyi Tower.

"To be honest with you, Miss Xiaoman, there are very few people in Dayi Town who love fish, so I can't make up my mind about your two dishes, so I asked the host to taste them and then make the decision."

Lin Xiaoman doesn't care. Real gold is not afraid of fire.

Whether it succeeds or not, she won't lose anything.

"Uncle Tong, it's okay."

Shopkeeper Tong asked the waiter to invite the boss to come downstairs.

After a while, a man in dark blue cloud satin brocade came down from upstairs. He had a crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and an ink folding fan in his hand.

He is dressed in a noble manner, looking like a scholar.

"Master, this is Miss Xiaoman who sold the recipe for cold noodles last time."

The noble man nodded slightly and handed the folding fan in his hand to the servant behind him, "Just taste the food."

Shopkeeper Tong took out the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to the servant behind the young master, who served the food.

The noble man casually picked up a piece of pickled fish that the servant had picked out and put into the bowl.

It softens in the mouth, without any fishy smell.

The taste is salty, sour and spicy, refreshing and appetizing.

He glanced at the other large basin. Shopkeeper Tong was indeed the best worker. He immediately stepped forward to explain, "Boss, this is grilled fish. Miss Xiaoman said that it is best to use a hot pot to make grilled fish... Today we can only use a basin instead."

The noble man smiled and said, "That sounds interesting."

Lin Jingzhe can't stand scholars who speak too much like a scholar.

Seeing the young master moving so slowly at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Lin Xiaoman was full of worldly air and stood far away from Li Taohua.

The young master didn't show any extra expression when he ate the fish. Lin Xiaoman couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or not.

From beginning to end, the only thing I said was interesting was when I heard about grilling fish in a hot pot in winter.

Could it be that the bad fish in Dayi Town have really reached the point where I resist it from the bottom of my heart?

Lin Xiaoman felt a little uneasy.

If the sponsor is not satisfied, she won't be able to sell her prescription. The prescription is actually important, and the most important thing is that she cannot take advantage of Ruyi Tower's reputation.

The guests are coming one step at a time.

This is the only solution she can think of at the moment.

If Ruyilou doesn't buy her recipe, maybe she can only try in Jialin County?

“The pickled fish is tender, delicious and smooth, and has a unique flavor.” The young master praised it in front of everyone after tasting it carefully.

"The grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's crunchy and refreshing. If you make hot pot, you can eat and chat with a few friends in winter. The hot pot is still hot after the chat. It's really good."

The young master took the folding fan handed to him by the servant, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.

If you ask him, he still prefers pickled fish more, but grilled fish is salty and delicious, and paired with hot pot, it is the best way to express the leisurely mood in winter.

There was no one else here, but the young master still asked Manager Tong to invite the Lin family to the second floor.

Shopkeeper Tong asked Lin Dajiang about the prices of the two kinds of fish. Lin Dajiang thought of Xiaoman's instructions and stated his demands all at once.

He opened a space in Ruyi Tower to sell breakfast, and the price for two recipes was one hundred taels.

In addition, when the Lin family opens a food shop in the future, they can make pickled fish and grilled fish, but they promise not to sell them to others.

The young master thought: "Although these two dishes taste good, they are easy to be imitated. Even if Ruyi Restaurant buys the recipe today, by next year, all the other major restaurants should have figured out the trick."

"Then..."

"Young Master." Lin Xiaoman interrupted, "But Ruyi Restaurant is the first one. This is its value."

The young master was silent for a moment and glanced at Lin Xiaoman with a smile.

Facts have proved that the girl Xiaoman mentioned by Shopkeeper Tong in the past is indeed smart.

Just these two words, first, are value.

"Manager Tong, go get the banknotes."

When the young master spoke, there was no way Manager Tong would disobey.

"As for Miss Xiaoman's plan to sell breakfast at Ruyi Tower, we'll have to wait a few more days." The young master closed the folding fan in his hand, "Also, I've never seen the hot pot that Miss Xiaoman mentioned."

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that the owner of Ruyi Tower had never seen a hot pot.

As a food blogger, she searched for hot pot on the Internet and remembered that it had been available in the Tang or Song Dynasty.

"This...I haven't seen it before."

Lin Xiaoman gritted his teeth and didn't let himself feel guilty.

"But I saw it once in a dream. I will draw a picture for Shopkeeper Tong later."

Shopkeeper Tong's hands trembled as he walked in with the silver bill.

He glanced at the young master and waited for him to speak.

Should I give this money or not?

Unexpectedly, the young master smiled and said, "In fact, there is no hot pot. The pickled fish alone is the best delicacy in the world."

"In the future, if Miss Xiaoman has a new recipe, please give priority to Ruyi Restaurant."

Lin Xiaoman felt a little uncomfortable listening to the flowery words.

Saying yes, yes.

After that, it was a complete process of signing the deed, paying the money, signing the signature, and filing it with the government office, which only took an hour.

Lin Xiaoman sighed again, it is true that more money makes things easier.

Lin Dajiang received a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels. He touched it carefully and immediately handed it to Li Taohua.

Li Taohua held the light silver note and muttered, "Silver is still more reliable! These silver notes are not easy to store. They will get wet and torn. Ouch."

Li Taohua didn't dare to think about it, the silver bill in her hand seemed to have become a hot potato.

Shopkeeper Tong found the family very interesting, so he smiled and said, "If you are really worried, you can deposit the banknotes in the bank."

After the greetings, Lin Xiaoman and Manager Tong agreed to come here in the afternoons of the next few days to teach the chef how to make sauerkraut fish and grilled fish.

As for when we can sell Xiaolongbao at Ruyilou, it depends on when Shopkeeper Tong finds a good spot.

This is not the first time that the two parties have done business, and there is a contract in place, so there is no need to worry about unexpected changes.

The Lin family left from the back door of Ruyi Building.

Lin Xiaoman walked with brisk steps, and even the weeds on the roadside looked exceptionally green.

Lin Dajiang watched his daughter walking lightly like a happy bird, and suddenly felt that he looked a little shifty because he was cautious and always thinking about the banknotes.

He took a deep breath and tried his best to pretend that he didn't care.

Put aside all distracting thoughts, hold your head high and stride forward.
