On a hot day, it's not easy for you to pull over, and I won't bargain for the price, just three cents a pound according to the price of dead fish, like this? "The hostess made a bid and said it very sincerely.

Mu Xiu thought about it for a while, and felt that the price was okay, but she still turned her head to look at Chen Xiangyang, this fish belonged to Chen Xiangyang, and he still needed to make a decision.

"The proprietress is also a cheerful person, so be it." Chen Xiangyang immediately nodded and agreed, which was already higher than his expected price.

"You go around here, and I'll let my son weigh the fish in the backyard." Liu Xuenu pointed to the alley on the right.

Chen Xuhui led the ox cart, Chen Xiangyang helped him in the back, and walked to the backyard one after the other.

Mu Xiu's eyes rolled, and she followed behind the proprietress who had turned around and was about to leave, and shouted sweetly: "Boss." ”

Liu Xuenu stopped and looked at Mu Xiu suspiciously.

"Boss, your restaurant's business is really good, the boss's skills must not be said!" Mu Xiu stretched out his thumb and pointed out.

"That is, my family is a well-known cook in the county, if there is a wedding banquet in this county and ten miles and eight townships, the birthday banquet will definitely come to you to find my family to take charge, and everyone is full of praise." Mu Xiu's words greatly pleased Liu Xuenu, and Liu Xuenu said proudly.

"Look at so many people waiting outside to eat, you know, boss, if you go back to your house to make a banquet for people, there is a plate of fish on the table, and this fish is obviously bigger than other fish, and the taste is fresh, everyone can feel that your family is really authentic" Speaking ......of this, Mu Xiu paused, and then said: "Our fish, but it grew up eating rice, is called Daoxiang fish, the meat is delicate, and the entrance is fragrant." ”

The proprietress looked at Mu Xiu, who was boasting with a smile, and couldn't help asking, "I bought all the fish, what do you want to do?" ”

"That...... Hostess, we still have a lot of fish in the village, it's not to see if you still need it. Mu Xiu explained the intention.

"I'll see how the fish tastes before I decide whether to buy it or not." Liu Xuenu is indeed a little excited, the fish that Mu Xiu brought this time can't be bought outside depending on the quality.

"Boss, then I'll come back in the evening to see if you still need fish, at this time, let's go to other places to ask first, after all, this season is a good season to eat fresh fish." What Mu Xiu said is also the truth.

"How many pounds do you have?" Liu Xuenu pondered and asked.

Mu Xiu did the math, there are still eight families in the village raising fish, about thirteen acres, according to the output of Chen Xiangyang's family, one acre of land is more than 200 catties, about 80 to 100 fish, that is to say, there are more than 3,000 catties, that is, more than 1,000 fish.

"It's a bit much, more than 3,000 catties, and more than 1,000 are about the same." Mu Xiu replied.

"It's too much, in my restaurant, I can only hold dozens of banquets, and this fish can't be compared with others, it's not easy to put it." Liu Xuenu came out with a difficult face.

"Do you collect salted fish?" Mu Xiu asked suddenly.

"Salted fish doesn't taste good, and I don't have this recipe, so my family can't make it." Liu Xuenu immediately shook her head.

"Look at it this way, I brought salted fish today, borrow it from your kitchen, and when I cook it, you can taste it, and the rest will be put out today, and everyone who comes to eat will send a small plate, if it is delicious, we will make the fresh fish into salted fish and sell it to you." Mu Xiu said sincerely.

Although Chen Xiangyang's fish are selling smoothly today, and the number of people in the county town is also large, and they can always be sold out in ten days and a half every day, the time for harvesting rice cannot be delayed, and all the fish must be fished out in these two days.

"Okay, you try, come with me." Liu Xuenu also wants to add a few more new dishes to the restaurant that can attract guests, and she has a good impression of Mu Xiu, who is cleanly dressed, well-spoken and polite.

"Thank you, hostess." Mu Xiu followed Liu Xuenu to the back kitchen.

At this time, Chen Xiangyang and Chen Xuhui had already helped pour out all the fish, and the two sons of Liu Xuenu in the store, Hao Xi and Hao Hong, also weighed the fish.

"Mother, this fish is weighed, a total of one hundred and sixty-three catties." Hao Xi said to Liu Xuenu.

"Boss, you take this little girl into the kitchen, she wants to fry a salted fish, you and your father take good checks." Liu Xuenu pointed at Mu Xiu and said to Hao Xi.

"What's so good about salted fish? Who comes to the restaurant to eat salted fish? Hao Xi immediately looked disappreciative.

"This big brother, like vinegared shredded potatoes, sour and hot soybean sprouts, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, these are all home-cooked dishes, why do so many people come to the restaurant to eat? Even shredded pork noodles, egg noodles, and restaurants sell them? It's because the smell outside is different from the taste made at home. Mu Xiu's words suddenly made Hao Xi speechless.

Liu Xuemei didn't expect Mu Xiu to say this, and nodded yes again and again, and began to look forward to the dishes made by Mu Xiu.

"Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, you sit here and rest first, and I'll be ready soon." Mu Xiu explained, and followed Hao Xi into the back kitchen.

There are two large stoves in the back kitchen, side by side on the left, which are all for making hot dishes, at this time the stove is blazing, the pots and spoons are clanging, the row of cold dishes against the wall on the right, and the middle is the countertop, for the guys to cut vegetables, put the ingredients, although compared with later generations, this condition is very simple, but compared to the present, it is already very rare.

At this time, Chef Hao turned the stir-fry spoon twice, and the spoon fell in his hand, and a plate of red and green, fragrant green pepper fried shredded pork was poured into a plate.

"Boss, this little girl said she wanted to show her hand, let her try it?" Liu Xuenu said to Chef Hao.

"You're doing it on this stove." Chef Hao was busy, and then he pointed to the innermost stove and said.

"Okay." Mu Xiu put down the back basket, put his hand in, and with a thought, a salted fish had appeared in the back basket, Mu Xiu stretched out his hand, and a salted fish of about five catties was brought out of the back basket.

"Hey, that's a big fish." Chef Hao exclaimed that after removing the internal organs, a fish could still be so big.

"This was pickled last winter, uncle, you see, this meat is still shiny." Mu Xiu picked up the basin, put the salted fish in it, and brought it to the pool, there was running water in the kitchen, Mu Xiu turned on the faucet, washed the salted fish first, and then soaked it in the water.

Then he took out some bottles and jars from the back basket, green onions, ginger and garlic, three purple eggplants, four potatoes, two onions, and six or seven green peppers, and took them to wash them.
