Chapter 41: Faith Restored

Zhao Yongzhong saw that his youngest daughter was worried, and hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't listen to your eldest brother's nonsense, how can this fish ball be so easy to make?" How can people think twice about it? ”

"Yes, although this fish ball looks like a Lantern Festival, it is not at all like the Lantern Festival that is pinched and rounded by people. Even if the average person can see that it is pinched out of fish mushroom, it is not so easy to pinch it if he really wants to pinch it! Zhao Sanniang is talking about her personal experience: Yesterday, Zhao Siniang taught them to make fish balls, except for the fish balls pinched out by Jiang Shi barely like a ball, everyone else didn't make it the same.

"The first time you do it, you can't see where you go, just practice a few more times. What the eldest brother said makes sense, fish balls really can't stand scrutiny. Speaking of this, Zhao Siniang let out a long sigh, and then said: "I asked my grandfather to buy fresh fish and shrimp today, and I asked my father to go home to get eggs, just to make these fish balls and shrimp balls more delicious and delicious, so that they can be successfully sold to Qingfeng Lou." I originally thought that Qingfeng Lou is a big restaurant, if I think this fish ball and shrimp ball are good, maybe I can buy a dozen or twenty catties with our family every day, which is also a big investment. But now, as long as you take out the fish balls and show them to those who know how to do it, people don't need to buy them from us at all, and they can probably make them by themselves. It seems that this business will not be done. ”

Seeing Zhao Siniang's decadent appearance, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and even Zhao Sanlang regretted that he was talking too much for a while, hitting his sister who was thinking about the shop.

"By the way, Siniang, didn't you add sweet potato flour to the fish mushroom? Ordinary people can't see this, right? Jiang Shi hurriedly reminded.

"In fact, as long as the minced fish is stirred, you can make fish balls with or without sweet potato flour. It's just that it tastes crispy with sweet potato flour. Zhao Siniang replied weakly.

"That's it, no one else will think of adding sweet potato flour to it, at most adding some flour to it. Even if he can make fish balls with similar taste, he can't make them so crispy! Jiang said optimistically.

"But this ...... That's not much worse, isn't it? Zhao Siniang saw that everyone was looking at her with such concern, and couldn't help but pour out all the worries in her heart, and said: "Alas, in fact, if it's just the method of fish balls, others can understand it at a glance, I won't be so worried, after all, I don't expect to make much money from fish balls, I just want to use it to add icing on the cake, so even if people figure it out, it's not a big deal." But belly and lung soup, dry sausage and the like are different, and the business of our shop is mainly driven by them. Before, people didn't expect that those worthless things could also do this, but now that I see that our family has done it, after such a reminder, a little more flexible mind may be able to understand the practice on the spot. Alas, yesterday's pig water near the bazaar was sold out early, and there was a ** that people figured out how to do it, bought it back and tried to do it. If these methods are also known to others, it is good to just burn and eat by yourself, but I am afraid that I will also get a shop similar to ours to grab business from our family, and then our business will definitely plummet! ”

After Zhao Siniang said this, everyone was worried for a while, and they were a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Old Man Jiang opened his mouth and asked, "Siniang, let me ask you which one has the best noodles in Changle Town?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Siniang, who had a sad face, couldn't help but be stunned, at this time my grandfather asked what was this for? However, seeing that Old Man Jiang had a straight face, Zhao Siniang also replied seriously: "It should be the Lin family's noodle restaurant, and many people in the town say so." I also went to eat it, and their noodles are really good. ”

"Lin family noodle restaurant? Indeed, it's a time-honored brand! This Changle Town is not big, but it is not small, after all, it is the largest town in Jinghai County. If you want to talk about this noodle business, there are dozens of them in the town, and there are always new noodle restaurants opening, and there are also old noodle restaurants closing. Only this Lin family noodle restaurant has been open for nearly a hundred years, and it is still standing there steadily. Siniang, why do you say this? Old Man Jiang asked.

Zhao Siniang thought to herself, Grandpa, are you testing me? Well, as a time-honored brand, this Lin family noodle restaurant does have something worth learning from, I have to think about it, maybe it will be of great benefit to our shop.

"It must be because his noodles are delicious! I remember that the pork loin in his pork loin noodles was delicious, and the braised pork in the braised pork noodles was also delicious! Zhao Shilang saw that his sister bowed her head and didn't answer, thinking that her sister couldn't think of it, so she hurriedly answered for her.

Zhao Siniang also nodded and agreed: "The Lin family noodle restaurant has been able to be inherited for nearly a hundred years, in addition to his family's hospitality and full of weight, the most important thing is that the toppings are authentic, and there are indeed outstanding features." ”

"Then will other noodle restaurants do this pork loin, braised pork or something? Could it be that in the entire Changle Town, only his family can make this kind of topping? Old Man Jiang asked.

"No, it's not too difficult to make toppings like these, and other slightly larger shops can do it. Although I have never tasted it from one family to another, I have heard that other shops are not as good as the Lin family's noodle restaurant, so his business will ......" Zhao Siniang said this, her eyes lit up, and she understood the intention of Old Man Jiang when she said these words, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, you are saying that even if people can make the same thing, as long as we do better than others, we don't have to be afraid of being robbed of business, and our shop can continue to prosper?" ”

Old Man Jiang smiled and nodded, and then encouraged: "I can trust our Siniang's skills, and the things we make are definitely better than those made by others!" ”

"Grandpa, how can I be so powerful......" Zhao Siniang, who had just been hit to the ground, heard the sound of encouragement at this time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said humbly.

"Grandpa is not talking nonsense without evidence. Let's not mention anything else, let's just talk about this fish, every family in our village will make it, and your grandmother is a master of making fish, no matter what is braised or steamed, it will not be difficult for her. People say that I am blessed to be able to eat such delicious fish every day. Hehe, actually, your grandfather and I are most annoyed by eating fish, and I feel tired when I see fish. After all, our family eats fish almost every meal, and I don't like to eat this fish even if it is cooked well! But I didn't expect this annoying fish, after our four mothers' hands, to let me eat the first bite and want to eat the second bite. Speaking of this, Old Man Jiang picked up a small piece of fish from the plate and said with a smile: "Look at it, the same fish is used, and the way to make it is almost the same, but the fish made by our Siniang tastes good!" ”

"Grandpa has a point. Siniang, you don't have to worry. With your craftsmanship, even if someone comes to steal business with our family, he can't compete with us! Zhao Sanlang smiled and encouraged Zhao Siniang.

Looking at everyone's trusting eyes, Zhao Siniang, who was a little deflated, suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride from the bottom of her heart: Isn't it just a few potential competitors, whether they exist or not! Even if there were, could the competition here be fiercer than in the previous life? In his previous life, my grandfather developed the noodle restaurant business into a food city in a shopping mall. However, the five-storey shopping mall is actually home to more than 20 noodle restaurants, and when you stand at the door of your own noodle restaurant and look around, you can clearly see the signboards of several peers. But in such fierce competition, instead of falling, his noodle restaurant is thriving. Well, as the granddaughter of Zhao Jiapu, how can she be intimidated by a little setback? What's more, there are so many relatives here as my strong support, there is nothing to be afraid of!
