The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Mo Liuyun gave out a thousand taels of silver, and considering she still had to support those people, she had almost emptied her savings. She was only fortunate that her maternal grandmother had secretly hidden five hundred taels of silver in her medicine chest when she returned from her maternal grandparents' house last time. Ling'er had told her this when she put the medicine chest in her spatial storage. Otherwise, she would have had to wait until the deal with Wangjiang Pavilion was finalized and she received her share of the profits before she could earn any money. Sigh, she still had to work hard to make money.

At this moment, Ling'er's voice rang out: "Congratulations, mainly because your Space Faith Value has increased by 150."

Upon hearing this, Mo Liuyun exclaimed, "I don't care about the money anymore! Two hundred taels is totally worth it!"

Mo Liuyun took another stroll around the city and discovered that in addition to the usual shops such as restaurants, cloth shops, brothels, and pawnshops, there was also an auction house called Baibaoge. There were four tall, burly men guarding the entrance, who looked fierce and were obviously skilled in martial arts. Mo Liuyun did not go in, thinking that he would ask Xiao Liu about it another day. So he headed towards Wangjiangge and just arrived at the entrance.

Nineteen rushed over and said with a smile, "Young master, you've arrived. Please come upstairs. I'll go and call the manager right away." With that, he took the package from Mo Liuyun's hand and led Mo Liuyun upstairs.

Mo Liuyun nodded and followed Shijiu upstairs. Soon the innkeeper came over and his eyes lit up when he saw Mo Liuyun: "Young brother, you've finally arrived."

Mo Liuyun said, "Manager, what is the owner's opinion?" Mo Liuyun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"No problem, but the owner has added some conditions to the original terms, and of course, the profit sharing has also changed. Young master, please take a look at the contract first." After saying that, he took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Mo Liuyun. Mo Liuyun opened them and read them carefully. The additional condition was that the seasonings and ingredients provided to Wangjiang Pavilion within two years could not be provided to other merchants or restaurants. The profit sharing changed from 10% of the new dishes to 10% of all revenue of Wangjiang Pavilion.

Mo Liuyun said, "Manager Wang, all of these are fine, but can your Wangjianglou restaurant possibly consume all of these seasonings?"

Manager Wang said, "Our master's restaurants are all over Beili, there are at least a hundred of them, big and small, so there's no problem at all. Young brother, don't worry. If there's no problem, let's sign the contract now."

Mo Liuyun said, "No problem, but the supply will be a few days late. I will have someone come and deliver the seasonings and ingredients in seven days. Today I brought some to teach the chefs how to cook, and the manager can make a few portions every day for everyone to taste, as a way to promote the new dish."

"Alright, it's a deal. Let's sign the contract first!" the shopkeeper said.

"Okay," Mo Liuyun said. The two parties signed the contract and each kept a copy. Manager Wang was all smiles, looking at Mo Liuyun as if he were the God of Wealth!

Shopkeeper Wang: Isn't he the God of Wealth? And there are two new dishes every month, just thinking about it means endless money.

After lunch, Manager Wang led the chefs to the kitchen. They had heard from the manager that a new chef was coming to teach new dishes and improve existing ones. They had expected an elderly man, but seeing a young man not yet twenty, they were all initially dismissive, thinking, "How many years of culinary experience could someone that age have?" Some whispered amongst themselves:

"At such a young age, how could he possibly know the limits? Could he even flip the pot?"

"Yeah, I've been cooking for longer than him."

"Let's wait and see. You can't judge a book by its cover. What if they have real skills? Otherwise, the shopkeeper wouldn't act so recklessly."

Mo Liuyun now possesses profound internal strength, and his hearing is naturally excellent. After hearing this, he didn't say much.

He simply looked at Manager Wang and said, "Let's treat today as a culinary exchange, and discuss how to make our dishes even tastier. How about this, Manager Wang, you take the order, and I'll cook this dish with you. Then we'll have everyone else judge what we think?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang knew that Mo Liuyun was going to teach these arrogant chefs a lesson, so he asked, "Do you have any objections?" He was referring to the chefs.

The chefs' faces lit up with joy, thinking: "Is this how it works? Isn't this giving them a chance to embarrass that young boy?" They immediately nodded in agreement.

Nineteen: You'll all be proven wrong soon!!!

Shopkeeper Wang: Oh dear, you're going to be slapped in the face now!

Shopkeeper Wang first ordered a steamed sea bass.

Emerging from Wangjiang Tower is Chef Zhang, skilled at preparing seafood. Chef Zhang deftly cleans the fish, drains the water, marinates it with salt, places it on a plate, steams it in a steamer for about 15 minutes after the water boils, removes it, adds chopped green onions, drizzles hot oil, and it's done.

Mo Liuyun first sliced ​​the white part of scallions and then sliced ​​the ginger before cleaning the fish. After cleaning the fish, she made a cut on each side of its back, cleaned the black membrane inside the belly, and wiped the water off the fish with a clean cloth. She then marinated the fish with scallion and ginger water and salt for about 5 minutes (about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea). Then she took out a plate with two chopsticks underneath, placed the fish back up with its belly half open on the chopsticks, and placed scallion and ginger slices on the openings in the back and belly. She then steamed the fish in a steamer after the water boiled for about 2 minutes (about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea). (10 minutes) Mo Liuyun gently inserted chopsticks into the fish, and once the chopsticks were in, the fish was taken out of the pot. After the fish was taken out of the pot, Mo Liuyun took out another plate and moved the fish from the original plate to the other plate. She picked out the scallions and ginger from the fish, took out the raw scallion leaves, cut them into one-finger lengths, split them in half, rolled them up from one end, and then cut them into strips. She soaked them in water, and the scallion strips curled into a ball, which looked very nice. She then took them out and placed them on the back of the fish. She heated oil in a pan and poured it over the scallions, and the aroma of scallions filled the air!

The two worked simultaneously on two separate stoves, finishing their dishes almost at the same time, with only a half-cup of tea's time between them! When their steamed sea bass was served, the difference in presentation was immediately apparent. Upon tasting it, Chef Zhang's fish was tender but still had a fishy smell, while Mo Liuyun's fish was much more tender, with the aroma of scallions and no fishy taste at all. After taking a bite, Chef Zhang blushed and was completely convinced of Mo Liuyun's superiority.

Round 1: Mo Liuyun wins

The second dish is braised pork.

After each taking their share of meat, they began to prepare it.

After cutting the meat into chunks, Chef Li first pan-fried the pork belly in oil, removed the excess oil, and then added water and fermented bean paste (made by mixing water and flour and fermenting it to replace soy sauce for coloring), seasoned with salt, and began to stew.

Mo Liuyun first heated the pot, then, without adding oil, placed the pork skin-side down and began rubbing it against the pot. Once the skin turned slightly yellow, she added cold water, scraped the skin clean with a knife, washed it, and cut it into pieces. She then blanched the pork in cold water, skimmed off the foam, washed it with warm water, and set it aside. She cleaned the pot, added oil and a little sugar, and stir-fried it. Once the sugar bubbles turned from large to small and turned a date-red color, she added the chopped pork pieces and stir-fried them. After the pork was colored, she added the chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon and stir-fried them again. After stir-frying, she added boiling water and a spoonful of white wine. She boiled the pot and simmered it for about half an hour over medium heat. Then she added salt to taste, simmered it for another half hour, reduced the sauce over high heat, removed the ingredients, and plated it.

The moment Master Li's braised pork came out of the pot, it was immediately obvious which was superior when placed next to Mo Liuyun's! One was dark in color and had a slightly gamey smell, while the other was a bright red color, exuding a rich aroma, fatty yet not greasy, and lean yet not dry! Exquisite!

In the second round, needless to say, Mo Liuyun won again.

The shopkeeper watched helplessly as the braised pork dwindled, his heart bleeding. He had only eaten one piece!

Manager Wang said, "Who will go for the third round..." Before he could finish speaking, everyone took a step back in unison and shook their heads! After all this, a third round? What's the point? Their faces are already swollen from being slapped.
