"One more friend and one more road, this sentence is always true." Lin An glanced at the turtle man on the side, motioned for him to bring a cup of tea over, took a sip calmly, and then continued, "The tiger master doesn't want to think about it, the person who dares to transport those goods with Cao Yun will not be a small person, and naturally he also needs some foundation behind him to dare to do such a thing, what good is it for the tiger master to offend such a person?" ”

"No matter how he has a background, is it possible that he still dares to confront the Cao Gang?"

"Of course, it can't be talked about fighting against the Cao Gang, but what the Tiger Lord represents is just a Cao Kou in Ping County, and there are thousands of Cao Kou under the Cao Gang, and there is not only one in Ping County. Presumably the tiger also knows that such a large place as Nanping City is the most developed place in China's water transport, and the waterways extend in all directions, in addition to the water transport where the tiger is located across Ping County, there is a big river to the west, and there is also Caokou, which is not far from Ping County. In fact, for us, it doesn't hurt to lose a Caokou in Pingxian County, but for the Tiger Master, if these businesses are lost, they are all handed over to others, and there must be no need to stay in Caokou, where the Tiger Master is located. ”

The big river that Lin An was referring to was the one she and the old fox found when they crossed the mountains behind the water town in order to find a water source. The big river was extremely wide, and when they found it, Lin An saw several big boats passing by on the river, and they wanted to take the road of water transportation.

However, at that time, Lin An only thought about finding a water source for the village, and he didn't expect that this discovery could now become his bargaining chip.

The tiger must have known this, and when Lin An's words came out, his expression was a little hesitant.

Lin An grasped this point, and continued while the fire was robbed, "Although Pingxian County is only a county seat, it has a large population and many merchants, and there are a lot of water transportation businesses to go south. ”

"Yes, I even know this."

"So I said, we don't want to be enemies with the tiger master, but we are definitely not easy to be bullied by others. It's just a batch of goods, and if you really can't get compensation, it's just that, but you can't let others ride on your head, and you always have to take some measures when necessary. Tiger Master has the power of the Cao Gang and Caokou, and we merchants can also unite to find another waterway, who will suffer at that time, Tiger Master should know very well in his heart. But if this is done well, we can also rest assured that this business will be handed over to the tiger master, and the two parties will become friends, and with mutual support, the tiger master is still afraid that his mouth will not be profitable, right? ”

"That's a nice thing to say." Seeing the tiger's expression, he was obviously a little tempted, but let Lin An lead the nose in this way, he still couldn't hold his face a little, and the words in his mouth were still a little tough, "But how can I be sure, your words are not just some rhetoric, and you are coaxing me here to get the money back the goods." ”

"You don't have any better options than to compensate for the cargo and work with us, do you?" Lin An chuckled, "Master Tiger should understand that people who dare to have the courage to deal with that kind of goods not only have a strong family background, but they also have no way to start without a little official background." Tiger Ye has no real foothold in Pingxian County, but now he wants to offend both the merchant and the official family for a little goods, do you think that your position as the boss of Caokou is still stable? ”

"You!"

Lin An saluted first and then soldiers, on the surface, he seemed to respect the tiger very much, but the words in these words were a little ugly. But no matter how difficult it is to hear, the meaning of these words is pinched on the tiger's life, so that even if he is angry in his heart, he can't say a word or two.

Lin An was not in a hurry, the teacup in his hand turned around, and he put it down very leisurely, just giving some time for the tiger to think, his eyes were suddenly on the table, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.

I saw a few dishes on the table, which should have been ordered by the tiger just now.

What did she see?!

These are not ordinary dishes, one bowl of clear soup is a whole squid floating in the water, and the other bowl is steamed kelp?!

Obediently, she really read it right, it was indeed squid and kelp. It's hard to describe how you cooked them, but they're still recognizable in appearance.

No, how could they have such a thing here?

That's right! Lin An raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered what the girl from Hualou had told them just now. said that they were tigers, and they got some things from the South China Sea, and asked Chunxiangfang to cook a dish, but they lost their temper when they were not satisfied.

Originally, Lin An hadn't taken this sentence to heart, but now he found out that the things that the tiger brought over turned out to be these.

No wonder Chunxiangfang can't make it, Nanping City is inland, squid and kelp are all things that only exist along the coast, they rarely hear about it here, let alone eat it, these chefs naturally can't.

Lin An looked at this, if it weren't for reason telling her that the business had not been dealt with yet, her mind would not have been put on the tiger anymore. Compared to this, squid and kelp are more attractive to her.

Thinking of this, Lin An stubbornly suppressed his surprise expression, picked up the chopsticks on the side and lightly nodded on the dish, before he said with a smile, "Master Tiger, in fact, to put it bluntly, this matter is originally very simple. Just like the dishes on the table, squid and kelp can originally be made into delicious things, but the tiger master has this resource, but he has to put it in Chunxiangfang, who doesn't know how to cook, and the final thing can only be wasted. But if the tiger master puts this good thing in the place of someone who understands it, it will be a comfortable delicacy. ”

"Oh?" The tiger's attention was also diverted by Lin An's words, "Do you know these things?" ”

"Of course, as I said earlier, I'm not short-sighted."

"That's good." The tiger finally found a step, and was about to go down, "Since you have told me so many great truths, I will not embarrass you." If you can make these things delicious today and make me happy, I'll take care of it for you. ”

"What does the tiger master say?"

"I've always been true to my words."

"Okay."

Lin An raised his eyebrows, waiting for the tiger's words.

She's not afraid of fighting, is she still afraid of cooking? What's more, things like squid and kelp may be rare for people here, but for Lin An, it is easy to make them.

She didn't hesitate, and immediately asked for a new one from the tiger, but took it into the small kitchen of Chunxiangfang.

Chunxiangfang's mother was naturally very happy when she saw that someone was willing to handle the affairs of Chunxiangfang for them, and she couldn't wait to call all the people in Chunxiangfang out to help Lin An.

It's just squid and kelp, and Lin An can easily handle it alone.

She didn't ask people to run to the barbecue restaurant and ask for some chili peppers with her tokens.

What is rare is that the squid brought by the tiger master is still alive, and it is easy to deal with, at most it takes some knife work. First, separate the body and head of the squid, use a knife to cut off the protruding part of the tail, then cut the squid in the middle, and remove the brown skin from the corners.

Then use a knife to cut straight from the tail of the squid, which is the big head, into several parallel stripes, to a depth of three-quarters of the squid, and do not cut off. After cutting the straight knife, replace it with an oblique knife, cut it from the beginning, cut the squid out of the lines, and then cut the squid with the last knife, put it in the water and scald it, even if it is finished.

Lin An planned to make a simple spicy fried squid, the squid was cut and had chili peppers, and it was fried like an ordinary home-style stir-fry, which was very simple.

In fact, squid is a very easy thing to make, but the people in Chunxiangfang haven't seen it and don't know how to deal with it, and they don't know how to cut it.

If she didn't want to go through the extra effort, let her take the squid to the barbecue restaurant, where there is a barbecue grill and a barbed wire iron plate, and you can also make grilled squid and sizzling squid, sprinkled with chili noodles is simply delicious. Of course, Lin An doesn't think that the tiger has this blessing.

As for kelp, Lin An made a kelp omelet. The squid is a main dish, and the kelp is appetizing.

After washing the kombu first, cut it into long strips of suitable width, boil it in a pot with water and salt, and then take it out and cool it in cold water. Then the eggs are beaten, the eggs are spread into the pot after the salt flowers bloom, and after the pot is cut into the same size as the kelp, the egg skin is spread on the flattened kelp, and then the kelp is slowly rolled up along the edges, fixed with bamboo skewers, and a beautiful kelp egg roll is made.

It is still to decorate the kelp egg rolls on a plate, and then use sesame oil vinegar chili noodles and soy sauce to make a plate of sauce, which can be served with the kelp rolls.

When the two dishes were served, the people around them were amazed just by looking at them.

These two dishes are like two things compared to the whole piece of kelp squid that was just put in the pot.

Originally, I thought that this little white face was talking big, and it was already very good to be able to fight with Wenwen's weak appearance, but I didn't expect that he still had good cooking skills. At least something they had never seen before could make such a beautiful delicacy in her hands. Even if you haven't tasted it yet, just looking at it makes people salivate.

Lin An clapped his hands and raised his chin towards the tiger, "I can make something, how about it, Master Tiger, can you taste it?" ”
