Chapter 28 Spicy Crayfish(1/2)
The next day.
Lin Zhao got up early and made breakfast and called Xiao Shitou. After Xiao Jiuer ate it, he took Xiao Jitou to the school together. After that, Xiao Shitou was left behind to fish in Baiyu Creek. He brought a trap lasso and a longbow to the mountain. He had to hunt another decent prey, otherwise Xiao Jiuer's tuition would be far away.
On the first day, I wandered around a few hills and got two rabbits. It was enough to improve my food normally, but I basically didn’t expect to sell it.
The next day, only one pheasant was shot.
On the third day, a young porcupine was shot. It didn't have much meat and it couldn't be sold at all.
...
Lin Zhao was a little desperate.
On this day, I was fishing in Baiyu Creek with Xiao Shitou. Soon after, I saw Zhang Liucheng and a few children not going to school, so I was picking shrimps by the river and touching them.
The crayfish ran around happily afterwards.
Looking at the crayfish in the children's hands, Lin Zhao suddenly felt his heart lit up and said, "Little Stone, can you pick shrimps?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Shitou was stunned: "However, some people say that the cloves cannot be eaten."
"It's okay, just take it out, I'll go somewhere else."
"good!"
Lin Zhao returned to the town and wandered around various grocery stores. He could buy seasonings such as bean paste, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, bay leaves, cinnamon and other seasonings, but the two seasonings of pepper and star anise are not sold. I believe no one has developed such things in this world. However, when Lin Zhao went to the mountain to hunt, he saw many wild star anise and pepper. He didn't care about it at the time and thought it was useless, but now... it seems that it will come in handy.
So, the young man brought two big bags into the mountain in a hurry, ran all the way, arrived in the mountain before noon, and then began to pick various wild star anise and peppercorns, and then he turned the peppercorn trees into bald ones before he finished. Before dusk, he arrived at the town and saw that Xiao Shitou had already touched half a basket of lobsters. This kid was good, and he did things steadily and seriously.
"Brother Lin Zhao, are we?"
Xiao Shitou looked at Lin Zhao's busy appearance and was confused.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Let's go, pick up Xiaojiuer, and then go to Baiweixuan. Please treat this meal to your restaurant?"
"ah?!"
Xiao Shitou was stunned: "No, we don't have much money."
"It's okay, just follow me."
"good!"
...
At night, Baiweixuan.
Lin Zhao had a meal in Baiweixuan for the first time, ordered a stir-fried pork liver, a braised chicken and a large bowl of egg flower soup, which was enough for the two children. He stepped into the kitchen and saw the boss Jia Chong and the boss's wife Qing's sister-in-law washing the large intestine together. The smell was particularly strong, but Lin Zhao did not dislike it and sat aside with a bench.
"What, what are you going to do today?"
Jia Chong glared at him.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Boss Jia, you see that today's business is particularly deserted again. When I came back from Qian Street just now, I saw that the business of Hua Qianshu Restaurant was booming, and the first and second floors were all full."
Jia Chong rolled his eyes: "If you want to tease me, then I will be numb for a long time."
Sister Qing'er chuckled: "I'm so useless, why did I marry you in the first place!"
Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Boss Jia, have you ever thought about why the business is deserted?"
"What, do you know, Manager Lin?" Jia Chong sneered.
"Know a little bit."
Lin Zhao squatted on a small stool and said, "First of all, in terms of cooking skills, our chefs must be worse than Hua Qianshu, Mingyuexuan's wealthy restaurants. They have chains in the capitals of the Shang Dynasty, which are different. However, we are not without opportunities. As long as we can innovate and play with a new trick, we are afraid that there will be no chance?"
Jia Chong glanced at him lazily: "Since that's the case, may I ask Mr. Lin, what are the tricks?"
"This attitude is not very good."
Lin Zhao said: "Sister-in-law, how can Brother Jia be so excited about opening a shop well and becoming bigger and stronger?"
"That's it!"
Sister Qing'er directly slapped Jia Chong and said, "Look at how much Lin Zhao said, ability is one thing, ambition is another. When I see your unpromising appearance, I will be angry!"
Lin Zhao laughed secretly.
Jia Chong glared at Lin Zhao in disappointment: "What do you kid want to say?"
"I have a recipe for famous dishes here."
Lin Zhao said: "I have brought all the dishes, how to cook, and raw materials. I just want Brother Jia to give me a pot. I will make a dish today, Brother Jia and my sister-in-law try it. If you think the dish is good, add this dish to your Baiweixuan menu as your signature dish. But friendship is due to friendship, and business still needs to be made. I use this dish to invest in your Baiweixuan. Every time you sell this dish, you have to give me a 20% net profit. What do you think?"
Sister Qing'er brows raised: "Lin Zhao, my sister-in-law gives you face and lets you speak here, but she didn't let you blow the gods here!"
Jia Chong retorted with a rare sentence: "Hmph, wife, this kid is talking big, but if he can really cook any amazing dishes, I want to see, we'll just make a pot anyway."
"OK!"
...
So, Lin Zhao began to wash the lobsters. When he took out a large pot of lobsters, Jia Chong was shocked: "Isn't this the clove in the river? The old people said that they could not eat it, and they would die if they were eaten. Do you dare to eat it?"
Lin Zhao nodded: "First of all, the scientific name of this shrimp is crayfish. Although it is a type of crayfish, it is not called crayfish. Secondly, I dare to eat it. I just fed a dog to your house. I see it is still lively."
"You boy!"
Jia Chong was angry.
Not long after, Lin Zhao set up a pot to cook, and soon, a pot of fragrant spicy crayfish appeared in front of Jia Chong and Qing's sister-in-law.
"Try the food?"
Lin Zhao hugged his arms and suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm afraid of death, it's okay, I'll taste it first."
He quickly peeled a crayfish and threw it into his mouth, which tasted great.
Jia Chong observed for a while and saw that Lin Zhao was fine and ate one, he was stunned: "The taste was a bit strange."
He started to eat the second one: "The taste spreads in his mouth and it feels like... very different."
Sister Qing'er also started to do it and praised her repeatedly: "The best, it's really a best!"
“Can you enter your menu?”
Lin Zhao asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but for such a dish, you have to find a customer to taste it first and then make it famous." Jia Chong said.
"Don't!"
Lin Zhao directly pressed his shoulder and said, "Brother Jia, what's the use of finding ordinary people to try dishes? You have to find famous people to taste dishes, such as... Mr. Han Buyu, the Great Sword Immortal of the Nine Realm who claims to be a foodie. Hurry up, while the dishes are still hot, go and pull Mr. Han over. When I passed by the front street, I saw him drinking tea in the teahouse. No matter what, I must invite him. Han Buyu nodded, and half of Tianchi Town nodded with him."
"It's amazing!"
Jia Chong's eyes glowed: "You kid are really a business man!"
...
Not long after, Jia Chong led Old Sword Immortal Han over with a look of terrifying appearance.
"What the hell is it!"
Old Jianxian Han looked rebellious: "Jia Chong, what you said, this dish will never disappoint me. If I am really disappointed, I will stab you in the restaurant with one sword!"
Jia Chong said repeatedly: "The old sword immortal will never be disappointed. Hurry up and serve Lin Zhao!"
Lin Zhao immediately brought up half of the spicy crayfish.
Han Buyu smelled it, then took out the wine gourd and placed it on the table. Then a crayfish sipped in a sip of wine. A smile continued to appear on his face, and he ate it with a sip of it: "I didn't expect that there was such a delicious food in the world! What kind of dish is this?"
Lin Zhao hurriedly said, "Han Lao Jianxian, this dish is called spicy crayfish, which is my exclusive recipe."
"Not bad!"
Han Buyu laughed and ate very happily: "Can you give me another serving?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Zhao immediately continued to get busy.
...
The kitchen is in a heavy floor.
Xiao Shitou stood on the side of the boxing stake, while Xiao Jiuer watched Lin Zhao busy.
“How to say it?”
Jia Chong said: "The dishes that Han Jianxian praised will definitely become famous. The price... and the ingredients and recipes, Brother Lin should give me a real reason, right?"
"Simple."
Lin Zhaoxiao said, "Every 20 crayfish are counted as a dish, and a plate of 100 copper plates are not on credit. I will give you the ingredients for the recipe one by one. You can buy them from major stores. As for the method, we will not give them to you after we sign the shareholding agreement and sign the signature. In addition, we need to get the ingredients quickly. You will post a purchase of crayfish outside the store tomorrow, five copper plates per pound, so that everyone in the town can get the lobster, and we will still make money in the end!"
"What are you waiting for!"
Jia Chong looked excited: "I'll write the stock account now. Brother Lin, let's prosper together in the future!"
“Where do it.”
