Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

The next morning.

After Yun Zhenzhen arranged the matters at home, she packed up and prepared to go to town. Seeing that she was about to go out, Qin Nan hurriedly put on his small backpack.

The older children did not go with them and stayed at home to help look after the children. With Grandma Qin and Aunt Zhao around, there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Liuye Town.

As soon as I got off the ox cart, I walked towards the Yaoyue Restaurant. The business in the restaurant was very good, but it was much worse than when the braised meat was first on the market.

Zhang Hong saw her coming and hurried over to greet her: "Madam Yun, you are finally here."

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen entered, she saw Shopkeeper Xu: "Shopkeeper, long time no see."

"That's right." Xu Xing came over with a smile on his face. "Madam Yun, you came here in person today. What advice do you have for me?"

"I just came to see how your business is going and bring you some new recipes."

"Okay." Xu Xing said with a smile, "Ever since using the recipe you provided, business has never been bad. I've been competing with Haokelou for so many years, and I've never felt so proud. It's so damn satisfying."

The business in the store is good, and Xu Xing looks radiant.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh: "This is just the beginning, and I'm already so happy for you. What are we going to do in the future?"

"Don't worry, I will buy all the good stuff you have. We are old partners." Xu Xing said with a smile.

The two of them went upstairs chatting and laughing. Xiaonan sat alone on the first floor eating snacks. With Zhang Hong watching over her, she was not worried.

"Business has been a bit quiet lately," Xu Xing sighed. "At first, people tried those recipes just for fun, but then everyone got used to them, and the customer flow slowly dropped off. I wonder what goodies Madam Yun has brought this time."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and sat down, taking a sip of tea before slowly speaking, "I came here today specifically for this matter. The guests at Yaoyue Restaurant are mainly entertaining the wealthy families in the city, as well as the banquets used by various families for business purposes, right?"

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded. "The food we sell in our restaurant is quite expensive. People without money usually don't come in to eat."

"Then let's target ordinary people." Yun Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow and continued, "The restaurant can make some delicious, cheap, and attractive dishes to retain most of the diners."

"Oh? How do you mean?" Xu Xing instantly became interested when he heard this.

Yun Zhenzhen took another sip of tea without any hurry.

"Oh, my dear sister, please stop teasing me." Xu Xing said anxiously, "If you like this tea, I'll get you a few bags to take home and enjoy. Let's get down to business first."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled with satisfaction when she heard this. She was worried that she didn't have decent tea at home to entertain the guests. The ones sold outside were too expensive, so free ones would taste better.

"It's very simple. Does your restaurant use pig offal to cook?" Yun Zhenzhen asked.

"Pig offal?" Xu Xing was puzzled, but answered honestly, "Of course not. Although it's cheap and you can buy a lot for just a few cents, the fishy smell is extremely difficult to remove. Most people wouldn't eat it."

"That's right." Yun Zhenzhen nodded. "I have a method that can remove most of the odor and retain the meat's aroma. When the time comes, I guarantee that most people will like it. You can also control the cost and sell it at a low price to attract diners. This will make it easier for ordinary people to eat meat."

!!!

"What a great idea."

If it can really remove odors, then this business will be unique to me, and when it is completed, it will attract a lot of middle and lower class customers.

Xu Xing's face was full of excitement. Now he was becoming more and more convinced of Yun Zhenzhen. What was wrong with this little head of hers? She could always come up with so many novel and weird ideas.

Yun Zhenzhen did it right away. She carried her small backpack and went to the kitchen to practice.

To make pig offal delicious, the most important thing is to remove the odor. Yun Zhenzhen took out the hay she brought from the backpack, added a bucket of water to the basin, and soaked the pig intestines and hay together.

Then roll the hay into a ball, place the large intestine on it, wrap the intestine tightly with the hay, scrub from top to bottom and pull it down until the entire large intestine is clean.

Change the water every time you wash it, and repeat several times.

The pig intestines were cleaned visibly, and the water in the basin gradually became clear.

Because she was going to sell them in the store, Yun Zhenzhen did not use wood ash to clean them like she did at home, but chose this method that would clean them more cleanly.

She changed the last basin of water and began to turn it over, pulling off all the fat on the surface of the intestines.

Finally, turn over a small section, pour water into it, and continue rubbing while observing whether it is clean.

After repeating this several times, the originally burnt yellow large intestine gradually turns pink.

Then the large intestine was brought into the kitchen and cut quickly. Xu Xing stared at it without blinking, afraid of missing anything.

The rest of the pork offal was also cleaned, cut into pieces, and marinated with seasonings. Then the heat was explained to them again, and they needed to stir-fry them over high heat.

Soon, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen, attracting the curious look of the chefs outside.

Xu Xing couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.

uh~

good to eat!

He had lived for several decades and had been a shopkeeper all his life. He had eaten a lot of delicious food, but it was the first time he knew that pig offal could be cooked so deliciously. He couldn't help but eat another bite after taking one.

He stood by the stove and ate with big mouthfuls.

Yun Zhenzhen walked to the side and took the seasoning out of the backpack with a smile.

There are marinade and other sauce packets in it, including sweet and spicy, slightly spicy, and pure marinade. You can make different flavors according to the needs of your customers, and then it will be suitable for men, women, and children.

Yun Zhenzhen also gave him the recipe for boiled pork slices and signed the contract according to the old rules.

Xu Xing acted quickly. After the chef learned how to do it, he hung up the new signs, each with large and bold fonts. Soon, many people noticed that the restaurant had new products.

The previous new dishes were all well received, and everyone is looking forward to the new ones this time. Some old diners have even started to spread the word and make appointments to come and taste them tomorrow.

the other side.

The owner of Haokelou frowned as he saw the business of Yaoyue Restaurant was declining and a long line formed in front of him.

Wei Xiong quickly called over his waiter: "What's going on over there? Why are there so many people suddenly at the door? Go and find out for me."

The waiter hurried out and came back after a while. I heard that there were new dishes.

"Another fresh dish?" Wei Xiong looked incredulous. "It's only been a short while, how come there are fresh dishes every day?"

Their store used to serve braised meats, shaved desserts, and sweet and sour pork tenderloin, but no matter how hard we tried, we could never replicate their flavor.

"Do you think the Yaoyue Restaurant has changed its chef?"

Wei Xiong intuitively felt that the problem lay in the kitchen.

"That's impossible. I've never heard of their chefs changing. They're still the same old guys." The accountant also came over.

"Then what's going on? We've made the same dish many times in our restaurant, but customers say it just doesn't taste like theirs."

Wei Xiong felt very strange. Could it be that the problem was with the young lady from last time? No way. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she was just a peasant woman. How much ability could she have?

"You try to find someone to infiltrate their home and see what's going on."

The accountant nodded slightly.

the other side.

Yun Zhenzhen received her share of the silver for the past half month. Because business had been a little slow recently, the total was only ten taels of silver.

After hiding the silver, he said goodbye to Xu Xing.

I went out to the grain store in town and bought some rice. The dozens of kilograms I bought last time were almost finished. Since I didn’t come with the old lady this time, I could stock up more.

I bought some other daily necessities and then waited for Uncle Niu’s ox cart to return home.

After getting off the car.

Yun Zhenzhen was walking towards home when she suddenly noticed a mess at her doorstep.
