Lin Zhao got up early and made breakfast for Xiao Shitou. After Xiao Jiu'er ate, they sent Xiao Jiu'er to school together. Afterwards, Xiao Shitou left Xiao Shitou to fish in Baiyu Creek, while he brought a trap, lasso and long bow.
Going up the mountain, we must hunt another decent prey, otherwise Xiao Jiu'er's green clam money for tuition will be far away.
On the first day, I wandered around a few hills and caught two rabbits. It was enough to improve my food, but I basically had no hope of selling them for money.
The next day, only one pheasant was shot.
On the third day, I shot a young porcupine. It didn't have much meat and couldn't be sold for any money.
…
Lin Zhao was a little desperate.
On this day, I went fishing in Baiyu Creek with Xiao Shitou. Soon after, I saw Zhang Liucheng and several children skipping school and digging for shrimps by the river.
The crayfish then ran around happily.
Looking at the crayfish in the hands of the children, Lin Zhao's heart suddenly lit up and he said, "Little Shitou, can you pick out shrimp roe?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Shitou was stunned: "However, some people say that the crayfish is inedible."
"It doesn't matter, just pay for it, I'll go somewhere else."
"good!"
Lin Zhao went back to the town and wandered around various grocery stores. Doubanjiang, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, bay leaves, cinnamon and other seasonings were all available, except for the two seasonings of Sichuan peppercorns and star anise.
There is no way to sell it, presumably no one in this world has developed such a thing, but when Lin Zhao went into the mountains to hunt, he saw a lot of wild anise and peppercorns. At the time, he didn't care about it and thought it was useless, but now... it seems that he will be able to distribute it soon.
It's come in handy.
So, the young man rushed into the mountain with two big bags and rushed all the way. He arrived in the mountain before noon, and then started to pick all kinds of wild anise and pepper. He beat all the pepper trees until they were bald.
, arrived at the town before dusk, and saw that Xiao Shitou had already touched half of the basket of lobsters. This is the good thing about this guy, he is down-to-earth and conscientious in his work.
"Brother Lin Zhao, what are we doing here?"
Xiao Shitou looked at Lin Zhao's busy appearance and was confused.
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Let's go, pick up Xiaojiu'er, and then go to Baiweixuan. Can I treat you to this meal in your restaurant?"
"ah?!"
Xiao Shitou was stunned: "No, we don't have much money."
"It's okay, just follow me if I ask you to."
"good!"
…
In the evening, Baiweixuan.
For the first time, Lin Zhao ate at Baiweixuan. He ordered a fried pork liver, a braised chicken and a large bowl of egg drop soup, which was enough for two children. He walked to the kitchen and saw the boss Jia
Zhong and the proprietress Qing'er's wife were cleaning the large intestine together. The smell was very strong, but Lin Zhao didn't mind it and sat aside with a stool.
"Hey, what are you going to do today?"
Jia Zhong glared at him.
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Boss Jia, you see that business is particularly deserted today. When I came back from Front Street just now, I saw that the business of Hua Qianshu Restaurant was booming, and the seats on the first and second floors were all occupied.
"
Jia Zhong rolled his eyes: "If you want to tease me, just go ahead, I've already been numb."
Sister-in-law Qing'er chuckled: "You look so worthless, why did I marry you in the first place!"
Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Boss Jia, have you ever wondered why business is so deserted?"
"Why, you know, Shopkeeper Lin?" Jia Chong said with a sneer.
"Know a little bit."
Lin Zhao squatted on the small bench and said: "First of all, in terms of cooking skills, our chefs must be a little worse than Hua Qianshu and Mingyue Xuan, which are well-funded restaurants. They are all in the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
There are chains, which are different, but it’s not like we don’t have a chance. As long as we can innovate and play new tricks, are we afraid that we won’t have a chance?”
Jia Chong glanced at him lazily: "In that case, I would like to ask Military Advisor Lin if he has any clever ideas?"
"This attitude is not good."
Lin Zhaodao: "Sister-in-law, do you think Brother Jia can cheer up, open a store, and make it bigger and stronger?"
"That's right!"
Qing'er's wife slapped Jia Zhong directly and said, "Look how reasonable Lin Zhao is. Ability is one thing, ambition is another. I get angry when I see you looking so worthless."
Don’t hit any place!”
Lin Zhao snickered.
Jia Zhong glared at Lin Zhao angrily: "What on earth do you want to say?"
"I have a recipe for a famous dish here."
Lin Zhaodao: "I have brought the name of the dish, the recipe, and the raw materials. I just ask Brother Jia to give me a pot. I will make a dish today. Brother Jia and sister-in-law will try it. If you think the dish is good, then
Just add this dish to your Baiweixuan menu and make it your signature dish. But friendship is friendship, and business still needs to be done. I will use this dish to invest in your Baiweixuan. Every time you sell a dish of this dish, you will have to take a draw.
Give me 20% of the net profit, what do you think?"
Qing'er's sister-in-law raised her eyebrows and said, "Lin Zhao, my sister-in-law gives you face to talk here, but she doesn't let you brag about it here!"
Jia Zhong made a rare retort: "Humph, my wife, this guy is talking big words, but if he can really cook some amazing dishes, I would like to see it. Let's just make a pot anyway."
"OK!"
…
So, Lin Zhao started to wash the lobsters. When he took out a large pot of lobsters, Jia Zhong was shocked: "Isn't this the crayfish from the river? The old people said you can't eat it and you will die if you eat it. How dare you eat it?"
Lin Zhao nodded: "First of all, the scientific name of this kind of shrimp is crayfish. Although it is a type of crayfish, it is not called crayfish. Secondly, I dare to eat it. I just fed one to your dog. I
Look at it still jumping around."
"You boy!"
Jia Zhong was furious.
Soon after, Lin Zhao set up a pot to cook, and not long after that, a pot of fragrant and spicy crayfish appeared in front of Jia Chong and Qing'er's wife.
"How about a taste of the food?"
Lin Zhao crossed his arms and suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm afraid of death. It doesn't matter. I'll try it first."
He quickly peeled off a crayfish and threw it into his mouth. It tasted great.
Jia Zhong observed for a while, and when he saw that Lin Zhao was fine, he also ate one. He was stunned: "The taste is a bit strange."
He began to eat the second one: "The taste spread in my mouth, and it felt like... very different."
Sister-in-law Qing'er also started to take action, praising her repeatedly: "Exquisite, really excellent!"
"Can I add it to your menu?"
Lin Zhao asked with a smile.
"It's okay, but for such a dish, you have to find a customer to try it first and build a reputation before talking about it," Jia Zhong said.
"Don't!"
Lin Zhao directly pressed his shoulder and said: "Brother Jia, what's the use of asking ordinary people to taste the food? You have to find famous people to taste the food, such as... the Nine Realm Great Sword Immortal Han Buyu who calls himself a gourmet
Sir, hurry up, while the food is still hot, go and fetch Mr. Han over. I saw him drinking tea in the tea house when I was passing by the front street just now. No matter what, I must invite him over. Han Buyu nodded.
Dish, half of Tianchi Town nodded along with it."
"Wonderful!"
Jia Zhong's eyes shone: "You are really good at doing business!"
…
Not long after, Jia Zhong led Old Sword Master Han over with a dog-legged look.
"What kind of dish is this?"
Old Sword Fairy Han had a rebellious look on his face: "Jia Zhong, you said, this dish will never disappoint me. If I am really disappointed, I will knock down your restaurant with one strike of my sword!"
Jia Zhong said repeatedly: "Old Sword Immortal will never be disappointed, hurry up, Lin Zhao is served!"
Lin Zhao immediately brought over the remaining half of the spicy crayfish.
Han Buyu smelled it, and immediately took out the wine gourd and placed it on the table. He then took a sip of the crayfish wine. A smile appeared on his face as he ate and praised: "I didn't expect that there could be such delicious food in the world! This is
What’s the dish called?”
Lin Zhao hurriedly said: "Old Jianxian Han, this dish is called spicy crayfish, and it is my exclusive recipe."
"Not bad!"
Han Buyu laughed and ate happily: "Can I have another one?"
"Ok, Ok!"
Lin Zhao immediately continued to be busy.
…
The kitchen is the centerpiece.
Xiao Shitou set up a fist stake at the side, while Xiao Jiu'er watched Lin Zhao busy.
"How to say?"
Jia Zhongdao: "The dish that Old Jianxian Han praised so much will definitely become famous. Regarding the price... as well as the raw materials and formula, Brother Lin should give me a solid background, right?"
"Simple."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Every 20 crayfish are counted as a dish, and each dish costs 100 copper plates. There is no credit. I will also give you the ingredients for the recipe one by one. You can just buy them from major stores. As for
The method will not be given to you until we sign the shareholding agreement and sign the deposit. In addition, the raw materials must be obtained quickly. Tomorrow, you will post a sign outside the store to buy crayfish for five coppers per pound, and let everyone in the town pay for it.
Lobster, it’s still us who make money in the end!”
"What are you waiting for!?"
Jia Zhong looked excited: "I'm going to write the stock certificate right now, Brother Lin, let's prosper together in the future!"
"Where, where."
Lin Zhao had a smile on his face: "Brother Jia will make a fortune, I will just eat some leftovers."
…
So, he set up written documents and painted seals.
Jia Zhong barely slept that night. He tricked a few lazy people in the town to go fishing for lobster all night. At noon the next day, Lin Zhao took charge of the cooking and cooked five spicy crayfish in a row. Among them, Han Laojianxian
I ordered one. A martial artist from other places ordered one, and the captain who was patrolling the town also ordered one. Those who can afford this kind of 100 copper plate dish are either rich or noble.
On this day, the reputation of spicy crayfish spread directly in the town.
Jia Zhong secretly found the hunter and went into the mountains to pick wild peppercorns and star anise, while Lin Zhao took some time off. Until night, two people visited this humble backstreet restaurant for the first time. It was Chu Huaixi.
and Chen Yu.
When Lin Zhao appeared with a plate of spicy crayfish, Chen Yu was shocked: "Lin Zhao, what are you doing here?"
Lin Zhao was also stunned: "Here... to help, I've met Chu Shuai, I've met sister Chen Yu, it turns out it's you..."
"Um."
Chu Huaixi smiled slightly: "Is this dish really so delicious?"
"Well, Chu Shuai, would you like some wine?"
"good."
Soon after, Chu Huaixi's face turned red after eating: "Good food, good food, it really lives up to its reputation!"
…
At this moment, Lin Zhao knew that he was about to make a lot of money!
