Early in the morning, the Lin family arrived at Ruyi Tower the moment it opened.

Lin Dajiang felt like he had been injected with chicken blood and had endless energy.

He is very skilled at making fire and charcoal.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the charcoal in the charcoal stove gradually became hot.

Small bamboo steamers were placed on both charcoal stoves. Soon, the fragrance wafted out from the bamboo steamers along with the steam.

Because he wanted to do business in Ruyi Building, Lin Dajiang ordered another charcoal stove. A frying pan was placed on the third stove, and dumplings were being fried in the pan at the moment.

It was already daybreak, and Dayi Town was gradually becoming lively.

When the wind blows, smoke rises from the steaming steamer and the fragrance spreads with the thin smoke.

Before Shopkeeper Tong even stepped in, he was already tempted by the aroma.

"It's delicious!"

"Uncle Tong, I've been working with you for a long time. I'll give you the first basket of juicy dumplings later."

"Oh, what a wonderful relationship! Miss Xiaoman, we are old acquaintances, why are you still being polite to me!" Shopkeeper Tong is immersed in delicious food every day, and it has been a long time since any food can arouse his appetite.

Now he likes this.

Of course, the sour fish that Dacheng and Dayong have been practicing making every day recently is also his favorite because of its sour and refreshing taste.

Not to mention him, the waiters in the building have been eating so much that their mouths are drooling recently.

Lin Jingzhe sent the first basket of steamed buns to Shopkeeper Tong.

Afterwards, those familiar diners came one after another.

This time, diners no longer have to bring their own bowls for the juicy dumplings, and can sit in Ruyi Tower and enjoy the food comfortably.

Many diners ordered Lin’s juicy dumplings, Ruyilou’s specialty tofu pudding, and other snacks. Those with extra money would order more.

Even Zhou Laosan came with his wife and children to show his support.

"Brother Lin, I closed my pork shop to come and support you!" Zhou Laosan's deep and powerful voice rang out.

Lin Xiaoman looked up and saw Zhou Mancang winking at her.

Seeing that she was busy, the little kid broke free from his mother's hand and ran up to her happily.

He smiled flatteringly: "Sister Xiaoman, after I finish eating your juicy dumplings to replenish my energy, I will go to the alleys to promote you."

Lin Jingzhe laughed and said, "Hey, you're trying to steal my job? This is my job, go eat some steamed buns, little brat."

Lin Xiaoman's number one "fanboy" made a face at Lin Jingzhe and ran away.

He didn't behave himself until he sat in front of Zhou Laosan.

"Oh, the taste of the juicy Xiaolongbao is really unique. Take a bite and your mouth is full of gravy. Zhangji's Xiaolongbao is far inferior in this respect."

"It seems like you get what you pay for. I still prefer the juicy dumplings."

"The fried dumplings taste good too, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with fresh meat. When you dip them in the sauce, your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat."

"Don't mention it, this soup dumplings with soy milk tastes really good!"

"Tofu pudding is the perfect match. If you don't believe me, try it tomorrow!"

......

Lin Jingzhe's hands cramped from collecting the money.

"Xiao Man, I didn't expect that. I think we've sold more than 80 cages."

"I guess it's because the diners find it new. There may not be as many tomorrow."

"Once this wave is over, I'll go outside and shout." Lin Jingzhe felt that the juicy dumplings made by Xiaoman were simply intoxicatingly delicious.

Lin Jingzhe got up too early and seemed to be hungry again.

I don’t know if it was because of the smell or because I was really hungry.

If he wasn't doing business, he would have tried his best to endure it, otherwise who could resist such a fragrant thing?

"You don't have to go around Zhang's, or you might get put in a sack and beaten."

Lin Xiaoman was afraid that her brother would act impulsively, so she paused while frying the dumplings.

During this pause, two skinny men were seen hiding in the crowd at the door, looking around.

Lin Xiaoman always felt that Zhang Ji would not sit still and wait for death, but he didn't know what tricks they would use?

Shouldn't she also organize some promotional activities? After all, everyone likes to get a bargain.

"Boss, give me one serving of juicy soup dumplings and five fried dumplings."

"Take the Eight Treasures Cake away!"

"Boss, give me ten fried dumplings."

"Waiter, three bowls of tofu pudding and two crispy balls."

"Give me some soy milk!"

Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to think about it, Ruyi Tower was almost full, with diners pouring in continuously.

I originally came here to join in the fun, but after smelling the aroma I couldn't help but buy some to try.

The waiters in the store are well-trained. They were trained when cold noodles were selling well.

Everyone has their own division of labor and maintains their own pace.

Seeing that his parents and his brothers and sisters were busy, Lin Guyu sat in the corner behind Lin Xiaoman and hugged Lidong tightly.

Lidong was eating a dumpling happily.

This kid is content with everything as long as he is eating. Except for his hands and mouth, he doesn't move anything else and lets his sister hold him.

Lin Dajiang is a handyman, filling in wherever there is a shortage of staff.

No matter how busy he was, Taohua and the twins were the ones who were overwhelmed. His main task was to look after the two little ones and do odd jobs by the way.

After experiencing the beacon-beating incident, Lin Dajiang never dared to take it lightly.

Especially now that there are many disasters in the north, the people are hungry and cold, and they are in a state of panic.

In a chaotic world, selling children and daughters is common, not to mention stealing children and selling them.

The excitement lasted until the beginning of the Si hour before gradually dying down.

Fortunately, we had prepared enough ingredients yesterday. I had originally thought that it would be better to have some left over than not have enough to sell on the first day.

In the end, they were all sold out.

Lin Xiaoman counted and found that 300 fried dumplings and 180 baskets of juicy steamed dumplings were sold.

But they were exhausted.

Fried dumplings are big, one copper coin each, which costs 300 copper coins. Juicy steamed buns cost 5 copper coins a basket, so 180 baskets cost 900 copper coins, a total of 1,200 copper coins.

After deducting the costs, they can earn six or seven hundred copper coins.

Lin Xiaoman planned to add new snacks after the place becomes stable.

Fried dough sticks, roujiamo, vegetable pancakes, siomai, egg-filled pancakes...

Today, Ruyi Restaurant is going to launch golden soup pickled fish, so the young master sent four servants to Ruyi Restaurant to help early in the morning.

Two of them went to the streets early in the morning to promote Ruyilou’s new dishes.

Lin Xiaoman wanted to stay and see how the pickled fish was received, so he took the initiative to stay.

Lin Dajiang was worried about Xiaoman being alone, so he discussed with Li Taohua and asked Lin Jingzhe to stay and help in the lobby.

He and Taohua took the two children to buy the meat and flour for the next day.

Then go back to feed the precious livestock at home.

The family members acted separately and were full of energy.

After half of the Si hour, diners gradually arrived at Ruyi Tower.

New arrival of Jintang Pickled Fish, buy one portion of Pickled Fish and get one portion of Liangpi for free.

A serving of pickled fish is 150 cents, and a serving of cold noodles is 38 cents.

This made many diners who like to eat cold noodles want to try the taste of pickled fish, and they all went to the waiter to order the dish.

The lobby was bustling and noisy.

Including the servants who came to help, six people were overwhelmed and Lin Jingzhe became a waiter.

Almost every customer who comes in will order a portion of the golden soup pickled fish to try it. Lin Jingzhe, who also works as a waiter, turns into a sister-con again.

Xiaoman is so awesome, everyone likes to eat pickled fish!

"Shopkeeper, how did you cook this fish? The taste is different from the previous ones!"

"Yes, it goes really well with rice. Not to mention the fish, even the pickled cabbage and bean sprouts in the soup are really good!"

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, Brother Cheng, I just said a few words to the shopkeeper and you finished eating the fish?"

......

Hearing the diners' comments, the wrinkles on Shopkeeper Tong's old face were all broken by smiles.

The kitchen was busy as the fish were cooked and killed freshly. Even with the help of four kitchen helpers, Dacheng and Dayong were too busy to keep up.

It was the first time for the two men to see such a scene. They were so flustered that they almost made mistakes.

Lin Xiaoman immediately corrected Dacheng, "Although you are busy, you must make no mistakes in making pickled fish, otherwise the fish meat will be hard and fishy."

"Master Xiaoman, I remember."

Dacheng was scared. If he cooked the fish badly, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"It's okay. Practice makes perfect. After ten days or so, you and Dayong can finish it with your eyes closed."

The chef on the side was also very busy.

After all, except for the pickled fish, all other dishes are made by the head chef.

When there was a little free time, he smiled and said to Lin Xiaoman, "I didn't expect so many people like this golden soup pickled fish, and they also ordered other dishes."

Lin Xiaoman finally felt relieved. The sauerkraut fish business was booming, and she felt at ease taking the hundred taels of silver.

So he said modestly: "It's the first day of serving new dishes, everyone wants to join in the fun, I don't know what will happen next."

The chef said cheerfully: "I think it will be good."

On the first day of the new product launch, Shopkeeper Tong only prepared forty grass carps.

By the end of the Si hour, the golden soup pickled fish had been sold out.

"What? The golden soup and pickled fish is gone?"

"What's going on, Shopkeeper Tong? It's not even lunch time yet and you've sold out all your new dishes?"

"Yeah, why don't you prepare more?"

"Hey, I'm already in line at the door, and you tell me that the golden soup pickled fish is out of stock?"

Shopkeeper Tong was holding back his laughter and had an apologetic look on his face.

He cupped his fists towards the customer and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We'll prepare more fish tomorrow. Please come earlier tomorrow."

"Okay, let's just eat a little today, Manager Tong, please prepare more for tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, okay."

We were busy until noon, and there were still seven or eight tables of diners.

Shopkeeper Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead, went to the kitchen and drank eight glasses of water. Only then did his dry throat come back to life like a dead tree coming back to life.

Lin Jingzhe, who was helping, went to the kitchen to find Xiaoman and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm exhausted. It's much more tiring than working in the fields!"

Shopkeeper Tong clasped his fists towards Lin Jingzhe and said, "Jingzhe boy, take a break, have a cup of tea, and go upstairs with Miss Xiaoman."

As he spoke, he asked Dacheng and Dayong to prepare a few side dishes and serve them.

The shopkeeper thanked her sincerely, and Lin Xiaoman did not hesitate and went upstairs with a smile.

After lunch, the Lin siblings planned to go home.

When I went downstairs, I saw Manager Tong frowning.

The pickled fish is selling so well, why are you still worried? Could it be that Yingkelai has made the move so early?

Lin Xiaoman couldn't keep it to himself and asked immediately.

Now that Ruyi Restaurant is on the same boat with them, they can work together to find a solution if anything happens.

"Miss Xiaoman, you don't know that the 40 fish we get every day are gathered together from several fishmongers. After all, the sizes of the fish cannot vary too much, so it's hard to gather them together."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Jingzhe looked at each other.

They almost forgot that people in this area don't like to eat fish, so the fishmongers couldn't get any fish for a while.

But there were a lot of fish in the river in Shanglin Village. Lin Xiaoman had an idea in his mind, so he asked Manager Tong if he would accept some scattered fish.

Shopkeeper Tong: "Yes, of course I will. As long as they are of similar size, I will accept them!"
