Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Seeing these ink blades, Yue Lingfei nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"These ink knives are of good quality. They are indeed craftsmen trained by Master Deng. Their craftsmanship is indeed superb."

Deng Jiuxian's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

Before he could say anything, Shen Wanwu chuckled, "Master Yue, you're too kind. This is all thanks to the high quality of the Moyun Iron we provided. When our Modao Sect disciples are equipped with these Modao, their combat effectiveness will surely increase significantly."

Deng Jiuxian pursed his lips. When it comes to eloquence, he is indeed not as good as Shen Wanwu.

Yue Lingfei nodded and turned to look at Deng Jiuxian. "I wonder how many ink knives can be produced daily?"

Seeing Yue Lingfei asking Deng Jiuxian directly, Shen Wanwu consciously kept silent. Deng Jiuxian thought for a moment and held up two fingers, "Twenty is no problem."

"This is just the beginning. Once the craftsmen become more skilled, they can forge at least 30 ink knives a day. If we push the limits, 40 should be possible, but the quality may be slightly reduced."

Deng Jiuxian was well aware of the level of these craftsmen. Although they were beginners, they had great potential. With time, they would surely become experts in sword forging.

According to his estimate, forging 30 ink knives every day is still a relatively conservative plan.

30 ink knives a day can ensure both output and quality.

However, it also depends on the requirements of the client Yue Lingfei. If the other party is really in a hurry, I am afraid the efficiency will have to be improved further.

Yue Lingfei's eyes swept across the ink knife on the table, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She obviously didn't expect that these craftsmen in Xiaofengzhuang could have such production capacity.

"30 swords a day has already exceeded my expectations. Let's forge them at this rate. Weapons are of paramount importance, so it's better to ensure quality."

Shen Wanwu nodded in agreement and promised that after the ink knives were made every day, he would have someone send them to the Modao Gate for timely distribution.

Yue Lingfei nodded slightly, a smile on her lips, obviously quite satisfied with Shen Wanwu's arrangement.

"Then I'll make the arrangements right now."

Seeing that Chen Changfan and the others had not started eating yet, Shen Wanwu turned around and said goodbye.

Chen Changfan waved his hand, signaling them to stay and eat together. "Sit down and try my cooking. This dish is called Kung Pao Chicken, this dish is called Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork, and this dish is Peking Roast... ahem, this dish is called Roast Duck. Come on, try it while it's hot!"

Chen Changfan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch as his wife opened the first restaurant.

He deliberately selected a few of the two most popular home-cooked dishes in his previous life, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork and Kung Pao Chicken, as well as a signature dish, Roasted Duck, in the hope of attracting diners' taste buds.

Before Chen Changfan could finish his words, Yue Lingfei interrupted him: "The names of these delicacies are mouth-watering. Stop introducing them, I'm about to pick up my chopsticks."

Chen Changfan smiled helplessly. Even though Yue Lingfei was already a sixth-rank warrior, she was still a little girl after all. Seeing these delicacies she had never seen before, she naturally couldn't help but want to eat them.

Deng Jiuxian chuckled, sat down, and looked expectant.

He had been eyeing the dishes for a long time. Even if Chen Changfan didn't invite him to stay for dinner, he would still shamelessly try to get a free meal.

Shen Wanwu, who was sitting next to him, was sitting very well. He didn't dare to move his chopsticks until his master started eating.

Seeing this, Chen Changfan smiled and shook his head, then picked up a dish with chopsticks and motioned for the others to come to the table and eat.

Sitting at the table with Chen Changfan and others were two chefs from Cuiyunlou.

The cooking skills of these two people are quite famous in the county town. Shen Cuiyun spent a lot of money to recruit them. However, after watching their cooking skills, Chen Changfan felt that they were generally okay, but the dishes were too old-fashioned and he was afraid that they would not add much to the restaurant.

What he hoped was to make the restaurant famous as soon as possible, so he showed off his skills today.

Showing off your cooking skills in front of the chef is not something that most people can handle.

Even for the chef, this kind of thing is a direct provocation.

Fortunately, although the two chefs were quite famous, they were not arrogant.

After they sat down, they did not pick up their chopsticks immediately, but looked at the food on the table with some curiosity.

Food should be "sightly colored, fragrant and delicious", and you can tell a lot just by looking at the color of the dishes.

The two chefs stared with wide eyes, seeing that the dishes on the table were bright in color and smelled fragrant, their gazes gradually became eager.

These dishes are tempting just from the perspective of color and fragrance, which is enough to show that Chen Changfan's cooking skills are extraordinary.

"I like the Kung Pao Chicken and Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork. They taste sweet and sour!"

Yue Lingfei devoured the food in big mouthfuls, her eyes narrowed into two crescents, and she was obviously enjoying it.

"This duck looks good," Deng Jiuxian licked his lips, picked up a piece of crispy roasted duck meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He immediately felt the aroma overflowing and his mouth was full of oil. He skillfully took out the wine gourd and took a sip, then nodded repeatedly, "This oven-roasted duck is really amazing, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is so fragrant!"

Yue Lingfei, who was standing by, looked at it with envy, but when she saw the greasy duck meat, she immediately showed hesitation. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and carefully picked up a small piece of duck meat.

She was about to put it in her mouth when she heard Chen Changfan chuckle and say, "This is not how you eat roast duck. Let me show you how to eat it."

He gently rolled up the duck skin, dipped it in a special sauce, topped it with pancakes and chopped green onions, rolled it into an exquisite roll and handed it to Yue Lingfei.

As soon as Yue Lingfei tried it, her eyes lit up. This roast duck really had a rich taste. She couldn't help but exclaim, "So that's how it is! It's absolutely amazing!"

Deng Jiuxian couldn't wait to follow Chen Changfan's example, rolled up a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. He immediately felt the fragrance overflowing and the distinct layers. It tasted much more delicious than before.

Shen Wanwu also tasted the three dishes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously picked up his chopsticks a little faster.

Seeing how enthusiastically these people were eating, the two chefs got a hint of curiosity in their eyes. Finally, they couldn't hold back any longer and picked up their chopsticks to taste the food.

After tasting each dish, the two looked at each other with expressions of amazement.

These dishes don't seem complicated to prepare, and the ingredients are not rare, they can even be said to be very common, but they can be cooked to such a delicious taste, which is truly turning decay into magic.

A good chef does not make rare ingredients tasteless, but cooks ordinary ingredients into extraordinary flavors. This is the real skill.

This seemingly young owner used only simple ingredients to create delicious dishes that impressed everyone. This was the essence of his superb cooking skills, and the other two felt ashamed of themselves.
