Several chefs grumbled, "He wants us chefs to learn how to cook from a little girl. Is this Shopkeeper Liu really crazy?"

Another whispered, "Let's just study, why are you talking so much?"

"No, look at her. Fish and pickled cabbage. I've never seen them cooked like this before. It's a wonder they taste good together. Besides, how can something as low-brow as pickled cabbage be served to our customers? Isn't that a disgrace to our restaurant?"

Several chefs looked disdainful.

Jiang Yutong didn't waste any words and just pretended not to hear.

Jiang Yutong worked very efficiently. "Let's fillet the fish first. There are some details to filleting the fish, so watch carefully."

A grass carp was prepared for Jiang Yutong. Jiang Yutong had discovered long ago that most people eat grass carp here. It would be best if there was a black carp, but grass carp would also be acceptable.

Jiang Yutong killed the fish with a knife, cleaned it, and then used the knife to shave the meat off the back of the fish, leaving only the fish bones.

"We slice the fish thinly, using the knife at an angle, like this."

Jiang Yutong demonstrated his knife skills and soon a fish was processed by Jiang Yutong.

"Now let's pickle the fish. This pickle is the key."

The chef just now sneered, "Which of her steps is not crucial?"

"We put a small amount of salt, pepper, egg white, and starch and marinate for a quarter of an hour."

"Next, fry the fish bones until both sides are golden brown and set aside."

Jiang Yutong spoke as he took action.

Next, she stir-fried the pickled cabbage. "Stir-fry the pickled cabbage until it's fragrant, then add boiling water. Boiling water is key."

Finally, Jiang Yutong put in the fish fillets. The aroma of the fish had already come out. Those who had just been laughing at Jiang Yutong restrained their smiles and became much more serious. They stared at Jiang Yutong's steps.

Jiang Yutong took out the fish, put dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns on it, and the hot oil brought out the aroma. Soon, a dish of sauerkraut fish that was both delicious and fragrant was ready.

Jiang Yutong clapped his hands and said to Shopkeeper Liu, "Try it."

Shopkeeper Liu saw that the taste must be not bad, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish fillet. The fish fillet was tender and smooth, without any fishy smell, and tasted good. He couldn't help but pick up another chopstick.

He gave Jiang Yutong a thumbs up and said, "Mrs. Jiang's cooking skills are amazing. It's delicious."

When the chefs heard this, they also wanted to try it to see how delicious it was.

Shopkeeper Liu had just seen the performance of these chefs. He knew that these chefs were among the best in the entire county and just looked down on Jiang Yutong. Now he has been slapped in the face.

Shopkeeper Liu said to the chefs, "Try it too."

The chefs quickly picked up their chopsticks and tasted the food. Those who had been dissatisfied were now convinced, "It's delicious."

Someone else picked up some pickled cabbage and said, "This pickled cabbage tastes great too. I didn't expect pickled cabbage and fish to be so delicious together."

Jiang Yutong received a satisfactory answer and was happy. She didn't cook in the last days, so these were cooked for her by her mother when she was a child. Whenever she missed her family, she would take out the video to watch it. The recipe was already familiar in her mind.

Jiang Yutong made another dish of spicy and sour potato shreds. This dish was very simple and Jiang Yutong finished it quickly. At that time, people just wanted to have enough food and eat simple meals. Not many people spent time studying recipes. It was this restaurant that had people coming and going, and they hoped to attract customers.

When making shredded potatoes, these chefs should no longer look down on Jiang Yutong and remember every step she made.

Shopkeeper Liu said to Jiang Yutong, "Madam Jiang, please wait for a moment. My young master is here, I'll let him try it."

Jiang Yutong will definitely be fine.

The chefs were now very enthusiastic towards Jiang Yutong. They quickly brought a stool and poured water, "Madam Jiang, take a rest."

Jiang Yutong chatted with everyone and waited for Manager Liu comfortably.

After a while, Shopkeeper Liu came over and said, "Madam Jiang, our young master wants to see you. Is it possible for him to meet you?"

Jiang Yutong readily agreed.

Following Shopkeeper Liu through the lobby, we turned a corner and headed upstairs. It wasn't dinner time yet, so there were only a few scattered tables of guests. Yinbai County was an important place for replenishing military supplies, and the county town ahead was right at the border. People came and went every day, and there were quite a few people dining and staying at the hotel.

Upstairs was much quieter. After passing through a quiet corridor, they arrived at a door. Manager Liu knocked on the door, and a deep male voice came out, "Come in."

When Manager Liu opened the door, he saw a man with combed hair sitting at the table with the two dishes that Jiang Yutong had just cooked placed in front of him.

A pair of dark eyes looked at Jiang Yutong, and Jiang Yutong was not afraid and greeted him openly.

Liu Lexian hadn't expected that the two dishes were made by such a young woman. "I wonder if Madam Jiang is interested in working at the restaurant?"

Jiang Yutong shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. However, I am a woman and have no intention of taking up a position."

Liu Lexian didn't force it. "Mrs. Jiang, if you have any good recipes in the future, please provide them to our restaurant as soon as possible. We will definitely give you the price you want."

Jiang Yutong nodded, "Of course, of course. If there's a recipe, Jingshui Tower will be given priority."

Liu Lexian didn't say anything else, but just told Shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper Liu, give me a generous amount of silver."

Shopkeeper Liu bowed and nodded, leading Jiang Yutong downstairs.

Shopkeeper Liu said to Jiang Yutong with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang is so lucky. She has caught the eye of our young master."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I have to thank Shopkeeper Liu for the introduction."

Shopkeeper Liu directly gave Jiang Yutong thirty taels of silver.

Jiang Yutong stuffed the silver coins into Shopkeeper Liu's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Liu. Take this and have some tea."

Shopkeeper Liu was not polite and was very satisfied with Jiang Yutong's behavior. He originally thought that she was a little girl from the countryside who had never seen the world, but he didn't expect that she was so generous and decent in her treatment of others.

He is a rare and wonderful person.

Jiang Yutong didn't know what Manager Liu was thinking. She took the silver and left the restaurant. She first went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for Xiao Yifeng, and then went to the cloth shop to buy some cloth. She picked gray and navy blue cloth. Rural women also wear this kind of cloth, which is resistant to dirt and aging.

Then she counted the money in her pocket and thought about going to a blacksmith shop to make a set of surgical tools. She found a blacksmith shop and handed the blacksmith the tool pattern she wanted to make. "Boss, can you make a set of tools according to this pattern?"

The boss carefully examined the blueprint and said readily, "No problem, as long as you pay me enough money, there's nothing I can't do."

"You hit it as I marked. I marked the size."

After giving the silver and agreeing on a time to pick it up, Jiang Yutong prepared to go back.

Jiang Yutong also paid special attention to the movements in the county and found that there was nothing unusual. Xiao Yifeng's injury did not seem to cause any sensation.

Jiang Yutong was carrying things on her back and walking while thinking about something when suddenly a little boy bumped into her arms.

Jiang Yutong's expression froze. Oh my god, the thief had stolen from her.
