The newly bought shop is very cheap, only less than twenty taels of silver, which is just one in the sky and one underground compared to the previous grocery shop. But there are advantages to being expensive, and there are disadvantages to being cheap. The reason why this shop is so cheap is that it is in its location.

If it weren't for someone who was very familiar with the local terrain, it would be impossible to get around seven or eight. Nine alleys to get here. Qi, who almost fainted in the alley, is now worried that his daughter would lose all her money.

Lin Dan comforted her while tidying up the tables and chairs: "Mom, don't worry, it's not unreasonable for me to open the store here. Look at what shops are all around?"

"What is it? The gambling field, the arena, the dock, the brothel, are all the lowest-class places, and the people coming and going are all lowest-class things. I really can't understand why you want to open the store here. Since the Yan family can't tolerate us, we can leave the capital, and at least we can have a safe and sound life. Mom doesn't want you to compete for any family property, nor do you compare with any other. Mom just needs to be safe and safe." Qi said while pulling his daughter's hand.

Lin Dan patted her comfortably and explained: "The residents of Nancheng are all foreigners. Their identities are indeed complicated, but they are better than those in Beicheng. Don't think that Nancheng people are lowly, but they are actually hiding dragons and tigers, rising dragons and phoenixes here, and there are all kinds of people. It is not a simple place. If you do business here, it is much better than in Beicheng. Look at the gambling field, fighting arena, docks, brothels, are there people coming and going, and this is natural popularity. Whether a restaurant is good or not, cooking ranks first, followed by popularity. Good cooking skills and high popularity, so this business will naturally start. My cooking skills are here, and I borrow the popularity around me, so I don't have to worry about not making money. When I open the store, you will know."

"The popularity around is indeed not bad, but you don't even see if your store can borrow their light. Just this alley has to be turned around. Can people find you here? You have to open a restaurant on the street. I have never seen a store open in a dead end." Qi was still worried.

"The wine is not afraid of the deep alley, this is not a big problem." Lin Dan chuckled and waved his hand, not caring about it.

The guy she brought was very quick-witted. He cleaned the store in half a day and hung a small flag at the door, so he could do business.

The man Junwei delayed some work in the morning and came until noon. He first arranged the local snake here, and then found nearby constables to take care of Lin Dan, and then went to the store to report. Of course, these things were done on Lin Dan's back, for fear that she would have any burden.

"Why are you here again? What are you doing with nothing serious?" Lin Dan seemed surprised when she saw the man.

"You never seemed to ask my name?" the man asked replies without answering.

Lin Dan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay, what's your name, and what age is this big brother?"

"I'm twenty-six years old this year, my surname is Tang, Xingjiu. Just call me Brother Tang Jiu, or just call him Brother Jiu." The man gave a junior gift to Qi, and then picked up an axe to chop firewood.

"Tang? This is a good surname." Lin Dan smiled lighter and lighter. She is a chef and has a natural favor for things like Tangtang Shuishui.

The man thought about it and knew what she was laughing. A few soft lights were emitted in his deep eyes. Even the names of the intercommunications could be reminded of the dishes. Lin Dan really said that he "don't leave his own business for three sentences."

The restaurant's signature has been hired by a carpenter to make it, and it will be delivered in the afternoon. Lin Dan did not plan to do business today, so he only asked the servant to carry three large pots for hanging soup, one pot of clear soup, one pot of milk soup, and one pot of braised soup. Because the price of the shop was very cheap, she still had a lot of silver left to spend, so she almost paid attention to the cost of cooking, stuffing the whole chicken and duck into the pot, and adding elbows, pork bones and other items, and boiled them in water.

"My skill in hanging soup was learned from a master in the north. Although he is not an imperial chef, his cooking skills are perfect. I learned only a little bit of fur after learning it for three years. Clear soup should be hung on low heat, and milk soup should be washed on high heat. You should pay attention to it when adding firewood." Lin Dan spoke very modestly, but the technique of hanging soup was extremely experienced, boiling, boiling, sweeping, hanging, and moving smoothly.

Tang Jiu stared at a few big pots, his tone was a little worried: "Can you earn the cost so much?"

Lin Dan chuckled and said, "Although these pots of soup are very rich and seem to be quite cost-effective, you should know that these pots of soup are enough for me to make hundreds of dishes and hundreds of bowls of noodles, and it is not wasteful at all. My shop is too deep and I have to make some old soup to hold the guests. The so-called "the fragrant wine is not afraid of the deep alley" is for me, "the thick soup is not afraid of the deep alley". When the soup is cooked, people will always come to you by smelling it."

After boiling the clear soup and milk soup, Lin Dan put the spice bag into the braised soup, boiled it over high heat, and then put it in elbows, pork bones, pork belly, pork skin and other items. After boiling, cover the pot and block it with wet wipes around to prevent the steam from running out.

"This pot of marinade will be used on low heat until tomorrow morning. Let's rest and leave one person to watch the fire." Everything was ready, Lin Dan clapped his hands to disperse everyone. The caravan had some business to run away. Several servants packed up their things and left the capital immediately.

Lin Dan was about to make lunch for her mother and Tang Jiu, but someone suddenly ran in outside the door, but it was the waiter at Qiaoyuan Restaurant, with anger on his face: "But I found you, a liar! You said, what are you selling to my restaurant? How can you use inferior products as good as good ones!"

"Little brother, don't worry, I'll go back to Qiaoyuan Restaurant if you have any problems." Lin Dan was not annoyed, but also generously poured a cup of hot tea for the waiter.

The waiter came to catch the person and hurriedly pulled her. Tang Jiu glanced coldly and was timid again, so he had to invite the person back in a good voice. The white and handsome little chef had already been waiting in the store. He was obviously a victim, but his dough was very thin, and his tone of condemnation was very soft. "The ingredients you sold to me may have problems and cannot make the taste of top-quality ingredients. Try it, this is a dish made from the Guangdu you sold to me. This is bought from the Yanjia Restaurant. They are all the same seafood. Why are my family and his family so different from theirs?"

Lin Dan tasted both tables of dishes and couldn't help but laugh. She was worried that she didn't know how to fight back against the Yan family, so the little chef handed the knife on it. Well, she couldn't fight with the Yan family, and there were always people fighting for her.

Thinking of this, she waved her hand and said, "Go to the kitchen and let me see how you cook. My dry goods are picked and accumulated from hundreds of goods bit by bit. Each one is top-notch and there will be no problems. Since the ingredients are fine, it must be that there is something wrong with your cooking technique. Let's find the reason from the source."

The little chef nodded and agreed without thinking, and then walked towards the kitchen, making every move very well. The old shopkeeper glared at Lin Dan, as if he wanted to scold her for being rude, but because of the resentful Tang Jiu, he did not dare to speak. The group arrived at the kitchen and started cooking.

Lin Dan stared at the little chef for a long time and shook her head and said, "You have a solid basic skills, but you just lack some experience. Using dry goods to cook, seven successive men are soaking, and three successive men are seasoning. If you have not practiced your soaking skills, you will naturally not be able to make good dishes."

"For example, you can't soak the black ginseng just in water. If you just cut it into pieces and stir-fry it, you can barely use it. If the whole black ginseng is added to the dish, the meat will be soft, some places are hard, the taste is very uneven, and it is not easy to taste. I will teach you a secret method. It is best to bake the black ginseng on a hot iron plate before soaking it in water, then blacken the skin on the outside with a low heat, and finally scrape off the black rind with a knife and then boil it in water. Why do you need to deal with it like this? Because the dried black ginseng I just bought still contains some moisture. Only by completely removing these moisture will its taste be even. Boil it three times in water and let it cool three times, so that it can be considered to be truly thorough. You can pinch it with your hands and pinch it, which makes the touch very tender and smooth."

While explaining, she handled ginseng. Her skillful hands flew up and down, stunned everyone. The little chef realized that this shopkeeper Lin was not only a real-life seller, but also a very experienced chef. Her unique skill of soaking ginseng with her hands was not only a sensible person, but also had excellent moral character. Without three to five years of research, who could have thought of it? However, she not only thought of it, but also taught others without hesitation, and her moral character was also excellent.

In order to learn more, the little chef quickly took over the work of sausage.

Lin Dan wiped his hands with a veil and continued to process the fish belly. While boiling oil, he explained: "Your broad belly is not right. You have to use oil to make the taste smooth and soft. First soak it twice with 50% hot oil, then put it on the stove and fry it over a low heat, then take it out and soak it in clean water to fully absorb the water, then add gray water, pat it constantly with your hands to wash away the grease, and finally rinse the astringent taste of the gray water with clean water, so that you can put it in the dish. The oily fish belly tastes very soft, soft and smooth, and it will not lose its deliciousness no matter how you cook it. Not to mention the top broad belly, even the most beautiful fish belly can be made into a delicacy."

When talking about cooking, Lin Dan was talking nonsense, and she didn't get rid of the work in her hands. She quickly cooked a pot of oil and threw the fish belly into it. Whether the chef had real skills was revealed when he went to the stove. The little chef looked at Lin Dan, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered a treasure.

While waiting for the oil temperature to cool down, Lin Dan said again: "Look, this basin of rock ears is not right. Boiling water is not enough. You have to add a little coarse salt to soak it and soften it, and grind away the fluff on the back..."

"Yes, yes, you are right! I was wrong by Manager Lin. I misunderstood you before. You have forgiven me a lot this time. I am not good at cooking, so please teach me! A while ago, Yan Family Restaurant launched a new dish called Squirrel Mandarin Fish. Its appearance and taste are unique. It has already hooked away some of the remaining diners in my family. If I don't grow up, my signature "Yuchang Family" will really hit me!" The little chef clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Dan frequently. He said a conscience, just looking at the skills of soaking, Lin Dan is no worse than his father and grandfather, and he is more than enough to be a master.
