All afternoon, Lin Yunxuan was in the kitchen.

She picked two big bones and boiled a pot of winter melon bone broth, and salted the rest for the next day. Then break down the pork belly you bought into several portions, and chop one of the large fat into a puree, and put the lean meat aside.

Zhao An went to the river and set up the two fish cages at noon, and this time they caught grass carp.

He Cuifang finished the matter at hand and also came to the kitchen to help.

"Xuan'er, Aunt Fang is idle at this time, I'll help you kill this fish!" He Cuifang pointed to the fish jumping in the bucket and said.

"Okay, Aunt Fang, you clean the scales and the contents of the fish's belly, and then divide the fish into two large pieces along the fish bones, and put the fish meat on the other side, and I will clean up the rest."

Lin Yunxuan said while washing ginger in her hand.

"Hey, good!" He Cuifang nodded in response.

On weekdays, He Cuifang is in this house, and even in this village, she is a neat worker, and she has become proficient after killing fish twice.

She first killed a fish and slice the fish meat according to what Lin Yunxuan said, and then asked Lin Yunxuan if she wanted it to be. After getting Lin Yunxuan's confirmation, he quickly cleaned up the remaining fish.

Lin Yunxuan glanced at the fish and meat that He Cuifang had packed up, and was quite satisfied.

"Aunt Fang, you can rest for a while, and I'll do the rest. You wait and watch me do it, and I'll take care of the work later." As she spoke, Lin Yunxuan took the knife in He Cuifang's hand.

"Xuan'er, this is your craft, how can you hand it over to me." He Cuifang sneered. In their place, the craftsmanship is used to support the family, and it is generally not passed on, and she never thought of taking advantage of Lin Yunxuan.

Lin Yunxuan didn't think about it so much, and she didn't think that this was a craft, in her opinion, it was just a recipe. She still has a lot of things to do, and after negotiating the sale of fish balls, she has already thought about teaching He Cuifang how to make fish balls and fish cakes, and this matter will be handed over to her in the future.

"Auntie, don't worry, I have a lot of skills, not bad for this one." Lin Yunxuan said with a smile while working.

She first slice the skin off the sliced fish thinly and evenly. Then remove the bones and pick off the variegated meat, leaving the pure white flesh and chopping it into minced fish.

Then chop the green onion, peel and chop the ginger pieces into ginger paste, add the egg white and fish and stir together, stir until the hand is kneading without residue, add the chopped fat puree and an appropriate amount of salt and then continue to stir.

Put the beaten fish paste into clean gauze, press it properly, fix it, and then put it in the steamer.

After a large fire, a medium fire, and a small fire, it was finally time to open the lid.

Lin Yunxuan pressed the surface of the fish cake with her hand dipped in cold water, and after seeing that there was a rebound, she then dipped the surface moisture of the fish cake with a clean rag, and then broke up the egg yolk that had been separated before, and brushed the surface of the fish cake with a vegetable leaf dipped in egg yolk liquid.

Then cover the pot and keep it on low heat for about five minutes, wait for the egg liquid to solidify on the surface, open the lid and brush the egg yolk liquid again, wait for another five minutes, and take out the steamed fish cake.

is finally done, looking at the golden fish cakes, Lin Yunxuan feels a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking!" The strong fresh fragrance of the fish cake has already attracted Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er, and the two of them looked at the golden fish cake, their eyes lit up, and their saliva flowed.

He Cuifang watched Lin Yunxuan make fish cakes throughout the whole process, and was surprised when she looked at the final product.

"Sister, can we eat a little bit? Just a little bit..."Zhao Yun'er swallowed her saliva and asked with her eyes full of hope.

"No, this is going to be sold." Zhao An swallowed back the saliva on his lips and interrupted Zhao Yun'er's words seriously.

When Zhao Yun'er heard this, she flattened her mouth and looked disappointed.

"It's okay, Yun'er, come and help my sister taste it." Lin Yunxuan saw that the fish cake had cooled a little, so she picked up a knife and cut a small piece and handed it to Zhao Yun'er.

"It's best to be a sister." Zhao Yun'er's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

"Xiao An also helped my sister a lot today, this is my sister's reward for you." Lin Yunxuan cut another piece and handed it to Zhao An, seeing that Zhao An didn't answer, she hurriedly continued: "Sister specially made some more, and you don't have to sell these things for you." ”

Zhao An heard that these were not for sale, so he took the fish cake with peace of mind, took a bite carefully, and tasted it carefully.

Seeing this, Lin Yunxuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Zhao An was sensible and precocious, and her desire to make more money as soon as possible became more urgent.

"Aunt Fang, you can also taste it and give advice." Lin Yunxuan also handed a piece of fish cake to He Cuifang.

"Sister, what's this called? It's not as bouncy as the fish balls, but it's also refreshing and has a soft texture, well, in short, this one is delicious. Zhao An asked questions after tasting it carefully.

"Well, An'er is right. Xuan'er, the fragrance of this thing seems to be a little stronger than that of fish balls, it tastes very fresh, and it seems to have a meat taste, which makes people feel aftertaste. If I hadn't seen how you made it, I wouldn't have guessed that it was made from fish. After He Cuifang finished eating the fish cake, she also joined the discussion.

"It's called kamaboko, and it's similar to kamaboball. Tomorrow, we will also take this to Zuixian Mansion to see if we can sell it for a good price. Now let's go and get the rest of the basket up and get ready to make fish balls. ”

The fish cake was affirmed by everyone, Lin Yunxuan was very happy, and the fatigue caused by busyness was also swept away. So I took everyone to make fish balls in one go.

Several people were busy until it was dark, and then they made all the fish caught today into fish balls, and everyone felt tired, but they were very happy.

For dinner, Lin Yunxuan treated everyone and made fish head tofu pot, fried fish cakes, fried vegetables with lard residue, and big bone broth and brown rice.

Early the next morning, Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An took fish balls and fish cakes to the town again in an ox cart.

The two of them had just walked to the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, and they met the shopkeeper Li who had just come out of the restaurant. As soon as Shopkeeper Li saw Lin Yunxuan, his face was full of smiles, and his hand stretched out.

"Miss Zhao, you are here. Come, let's go to the back hall and say. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and led them to the room where they had talked last time.

"Shopkeeper Li, are yesterday's fish balls sold out?" Lin Yunxuan asked straight to the point.

"The market was sold out yesterday at noon. There are many people who haven't eaten it, and they all say that they want to try it today. How many did you bring today? Shopkeeper Li stretched his neck and stared at the back basket that Zhao An was carrying.

"We brought a little more fish balls today than we did yesterday." Lin Yunxuan said while helping Zhao An put the back basket on the ground, and her eyes quietly swept to the face of Shopkeeper Li at the same time. "Plus, we've brought new food with us today."

"New food? Where is it? Show me it. When Shopkeeper Li heard that there was a new food, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't care about the fish balls.

Lin Yunxuan saw Shopkeeper Li's expression, and her heart was secretly happy, and her face became more and more calm.

"Well, that's it." Lin Yunxuan took out a small package wrapped in lotus leaves from the basket she was carrying, and opened the wrapped lotus leaves layer by layer, revealing golden fish cakes.

"What is this? The color is golden, and the appearance is not bad. Shopkeeper Li looked at the fish cake carefully, picked it up and put it under his nose and sniffed it. It also smells fresh. ”

"This is called more than every year, rising step by step. This diet is nutritious and easy to digest, especially suitable for the elderly and children. Lin Yunxuan explained, while cutting out a small plate of fish cakes, put it in front of Shopkeeper Li, and let him taste it.

Shopkeeper Li picked up a piece of fish cake and observed it carefully, and then put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, and after a while, his eyes were closed, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was contemplative.

After a long while, Shopkeeper Li opened his eyes and couldn't help but praise repeatedly.

"Wonderful, really wonderful. Before this thing is cut, the color is golden like gold, and after cutting, the color is like mutton fat, the entrance is soft and refreshing, but the aftertaste is long, both meat and fish. ”

"Shopkeeper Li is really an expert." Lin Yunxuan was overjoyed when she saw that Shopkeeper Li admired the fish cake so much.

"Miss Zhao, how are you going to sell this new food?" Shopkeeper Li put down his chopsticks and said with a straight face.

"Eighty dollars a pound." Lin Yunxuan pondered for a moment and gave a price.

"Okay, but you're going to show us how to make two new dishes with this new food." Shopkeeper Li readily agreed.

"No problem." Lin Yunxuan saw that Shopkeeper Li agreed so happily, and she also readily agreed.

Soon, the shopkeeper Li overweighed the fish balls and fish cakes brought by Lin Yunxuan. Fifteen catties of fish balls and two catties of fish cakes, a total of 1,210 yuan. Shopkeeper Li was also very eye-catching, and asked people to prepare a tael of silver and two hundred and ten copper coins.

Lin Yunxuan gratefully bowed down slightly to thank Shopkeeper Li, put the silver in her arms, and put the remaining copper coins separately.

This time, she taught the chef how to make a steamed fish cake in stock and a fried mushroom fish cake. These two dishes are light and delicious, and the other is salty and delicious, which makes Shopkeeper Li very satisfied.

After finishing cooking, Lin Yunxuan was just about to take Zhao An back, when suddenly Shopkeeper Li sent someone to hurry over to the kitchen and invited her back to the room where she had been discussed.

"Miss Zhao, how many fish balls can I send over tomorrow?" Shopkeeper Li got straight to the point.

"It's hard to say, I'll try to send ten catties over." Lin Yunxuan thought for a while and said.

"So little?! Do you supply to other restaurants? When Shopkeeper Li heard that it was only ten catties, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"No, we are currently only supplying to Drunken Immortal Building." Lin Yunxuan saw the expression of the shopkeeper Li and knew that he had misunderstood, but she was not in a hurry to explain, but she had a new idea in her heart.

"Shopkeeper Li, it's better to do this, let's sign a sales agreement, and agree that we will only supply this fish ball and fish cake to Zuixianlou within a certain period of time, but Zuixianlou will pay us a deposit. After the contract expires, we will return this deposit to Zuixian Lou, and at the same time, we can also supply to others. However, within the agreed period, if we breach the contract to supply to others, we will pay compensation to Zuixian Lou at five times the amount of the deposit. In addition, we can also write the daily supply quantity and supply price on the agreement, what do you think? Lin Yunxuan proposed.

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Yunxuan again. Is this really an ordinary village girl? Not only is his speech and demeanor as generous as everyone's ladies, but he is also thoughtful in his work, and he is also a set of ways to do business.

"Okay, we can enter into such a sale and purchase agreement." After a moment of silence, Shopkeeper Li agreed.

So, the two discussed the specific matters of the agreement in detail, and when it was almost noon, they finally signed the agreement in duplicate.

Lin Yunxuan politely rejected the shopkeeper Li's kindness to stay for lunch, and after putting her agreement and silver together, she took Zhao An back.

Shopkeeper Li watched the two leave, remembering what Lin Yunxuan said about the method of limited supply, and couldn't help but sigh, this girl's knowledge and courage are no worse than that of men, and over time, she will definitely be able to get ahead.
