After carrying the wooden barrel to avoid the eyes of the field workers, Jiang Xiaonian returned home.

Take a bamboo plate out, squeeze out the intestines on the side of the small fish's belly, and throw it into the bamboo plate.

By the time all the small fish had been processed, it was already dawn.

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaonian brushed the pot again, lit a fire and put the little fish into the red-hot pot little by little.

Zhou Huihui came back from washing clothes and saw Jiang Xiaonian busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaonian, what are you doing?" ”

"Mother, you see, I caught a lot of small fish with the cage you knitted for me, and I will dry them now."

Zhou Huihui walked into the kitchen in three steps and two steps, came to the pot, and said in surprise: "That cage is so magical? Can you catch so many small fish? ”

Jiang Xiaonian nodded: "There are a lot of small fish in the river, if you put a few more cages, it is estimated that you can catch more." ”

After a pause, he said: "This kind of small fish is fried and eaten after roasting, it is very fragrant!" ”

Without her to say, Zhou Huihui already smelled a fragrance.

At noon, Jiang Xiaonian fried a plate to try it, and put a little ginger and chili pepper in it, which was very delicious.

The dish was praised by the family.

"Xiao Nian, my mother will help you weave a few more cages, let's catch more small fish, right?"

"Good!"

In the next few days, Zhou Huihui made four more cages, and Jiang Xiaonian put the cages into the river every time it was dark, and went to retrieve them as soon as the sky was bright.

With the increase in cages, there are a lot more small fish caught, Jiang Xiaonian is too busy to be busy, and Zhou Huihui is also helping to handle and dry the small fish.

There are too many small fish, and the family will not be able to eat them for a while and a half, and they can't eat them every day, and no matter how delicious things are, they will get tired of eating them every day.

Jiang Xiaonian and Zhou Huihui unanimously decided to take it to the town and sell it.

It happened to be the day when Jiang Mengliang went to the grocery store to hand over the bamboo plates, and the three of them set off together and acted separately.

Jiang Mengliang went to the grocery store, while Zhou Huihui and Jiang Xiaonian went to the flour shop first, sold the twenty catties of flour in their hands, and got two hundred yuan.

Then he took the roasted little fish to the small restaurant before.

The restaurant owner had met Jiang Xiaonian, and she later followed Jiang Mengliang to sell wild things a few times.

"Little girl, what did you bring to sell?"

Jiang Xiaonian opened the cloth bag and said to the boss: "I caught a lot of small fish in the river and dried them all, boss, can you see if you can accept them?" ”

When the bag is opened, the fragrance of the small fish permeates the entire restaurant.

The boss took a few small fish and sniffed them on the tip of his nose, nodded again and again: "If this dish is made, it will definitely be popular, how can this be sold?" ”

Jiang Xiaonian thought for a while and said, "Twelve cents and one tael." ”

The roasted small fish are very light, and one or two are barely enough to fry a meal.

The owner was a little hesitant when he heard the price.

In a small restaurant like his, some ordinary people usually come to eat, and they spend at most a dozen yuan for a meal, and some only spend about seven or eight yuan, and if no one eats something for twelve yuan or two, it will be lost in his hands.

Jiang Xiaonian knew what the boss was worried about, and said with a smile: "Boss, I can sell you for six cents and one tael first, you can try to sell it well first, but you can't sell it too cheaply, if it sells well at that time, my price will still go up." ”

The boss thought for a moment and nodded.

Jiang Xiaonian took out a piece of ginger and a few chili peppers from a small cloth bag, handed them to the boss and said, "This is the wild vegetable that my mother found, which can be used as a seasoning, and it will be more fragrant when fried together, so I'll give it to you." ”

The boss looked at the novelty in front of him and was a little skeptical.

At this time, two guests came into the restaurant, and Jiang Xiaonian smiled mischievously at the restaurant owner: "I can help you stir-fry a dish and demonstrate, and you will know how to use it in the future." ”

The boss used to think that this little girl was unusual, she did not have the twist and childishness of other little girls, and the whole person had a sense of calmness and wisdom.

Now when he heard her say this, he didn't object, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll see how the little girl's craftsmanship is!" ”

Jiang Xiaonian came to the kitchen at the back, stood on the stool and quickly cut the ginger and chili peppers, and began to stir-fry.

After a while, a strange fragrance came out.

After the little fish came out of the pot, the restaurant owner couldn't wait to taste it, with surprise on his face, and nodded again and again: "Well, this tastes really good!" Little girl, you have a hand! ”

Zhou Huihui stood next to her all the time, unable to interject, and could only keep smiling.

Jiang Xiaonian took out two small bowls, put a little bit of small fish in them, and walked out.

When she came to the two guests, she smiled and said, "This is a new dish from our restaurant, so I will give you a free taste." ”

The two guests had already smelled this fragrance, and as soon as they heard that it was given to them for free, they immediately picked up their chopsticks and put them in their mouths.

"Wow, this is delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish before!"

"Look at the appearance of this dish, it's a small fish in the river, how can you catch so many small fish?"

Jiang Xiaonian turned around and raised his eyebrows at the restaurant owner, and then said to the guests: "If you two think it's delicious, I hope to promote it with relatives and friends when you go back, and this dish will be launched in our restaurant starting tomorrow." ”

The two nodded again and again, and after a while, the little fish boy sent was eaten completely.

"Boss, will this dish be made today? How much is a plate? ”

The restaurant owner hurriedly showed a smile and stepped forward and said, "Do, do, this dish is very rare, you have to pay eighteen yuan a plate." ”

As soon as they heard the eighteen pennies on a plate, both of them hesitated.

The restaurant owner's heart was also beating a drum, and he didn't know if he would sell it at such an expensive price.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaonian added: "The two of you can order a plate to taste, this dish is very delicious." ”

When the two of them heard this, they nodded, and if they ordered a plate, it would only cost nine yuan, which was equivalent to the money for a meal.

"Okay, let's order a plate for the two of us!"

In fact, the two guests did not know each other, but they reached a consensus at this time.

The little fish fried just now happened to have a plate of weight, and Xiao Er, who ran the hall in the restaurant, immediately brought it up, and after setting the dishes, he served rice to the guests.

The two of them ate with relish, as if they were going to swallow their tongues.

At this time, Jiang Xiaonian and others came to the back kitchen.

"Little girl, how many little fish have you brought here? I want them all. ”

Jiang Xiaonian was just here to test the water, so he didn't bring much.

"I only brought five taels this time, and I have already fried more than one or two just now."

The restaurant owner smiled: "Okay, I bought them all, I have to buy more when the price is cheap, haha!" ”

The two reached a deal, and Jiang Xiaonian got a total of thirty yuan, but next time, it won't be this price.
