The ancients loved to eat fish and made many tricks, including fish balls, moist fish, fried fish with honey, rice fish with belly, lotus house fish buns, steamed anchovies, frozen ginger-vitamin fish, steamed knife fish, roasted panfish, vinegar greenfish, printed pinefish, noodles with stewed bream, etc., are all famous dishes in history.

But this superficial dynasty is too backward and eats few ways of fish. The most common ones are braised, steamed and fish balls. So the waiter was really surprised when he heard the name of live fish with vinegar and pepper. Ji Ping and Ji Cheng were also surprised, not understanding what their cousin wanted to do.

The waiter looked at Ji Wan again, "Miss, wait."

He hurried to the inner hall, and soon a middle-aged man in a blue gown came out. The waiter just now followed, and it seemed that he was the shopkeeper. Like the waiter just now, he looked up and down at Ji Wan and said, "Miss, are you talking about doing business with me?"

Ji Wan nodded, "Yes."

Her eyes were bright and confident, not like a joke.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "If the girl can really make delicious dishes that our store does not have, I will thank you very much."

Ji Wan was waiting for this sentence.

The chefs in the big kitchen were busy cooking for the guests, so the shopkeeper invited Ji Wan into a small kitchen in the backyard. The bottom of the kitchen is not commonly used, there are few ingredients, and it is obvious that it has been used. Ji Wan guessed that this kitchen was probably a place to cook for special guests.

The seasonings were complete, and the shopkeeper asked someone to prepare grass carp and chicken soup according to her request.

First clean the fish and cut the fish body into a knife. Boil a pot of boiling water, put the fish in and blanch for about 3 minutes, until the fish meat in the knife is slightly turned up, take out the fish, pour out the water. Heat the pot, pour in oil, add scallions, shredded ginger, stir-fry in the pan, and stir-fry in white pepper powder.

The shopkeeper was watching from the side and saw her pouring chicken soup and salt. She took out a small bottle from her arms and poured out light yellow liquid into the pot.

"What's this?"

“Cooking wine.”

Ji Wan put the blanched fish in and said to the fire servant: "Big fire."

After boiling, he ordered to turn to medium heat to stew. Ji Wan took the opportunity to explain to the shopkeeper: "Cooking wine has the effect of relieving the fishy smell and smelling the fragrance."

The shopkeeper understood that if he could not offer a reasonable price, even if the chef learned this dish, he would lose a unique recipe and would be imperfect.

This little girl is smart.

The soup color in the pot gradually turns white, and the aroma of fish and the taste of chicken soup are combined, which is so rich that it is fascinating.

Take out the whole stewed fish, put it into the soup bowl, pick out the scallions in the soup in the pot, throw away the shredded ginger. Cut the coriander into the fish bowl, pour in the rice vinegar, then pour in the soup, and add a few drops of sesame oil.

The fragrant live fish with vinegar and pepper are ready.

Ji Wan scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it. It was fresh, fragrant and smooth, and it was excellent.

She looked at the shopkeeper.

Unexpectedly, the fish could make such a fragrant soup. The shopkeeper took the bowl and took a sip, and his eyes lit up.

"Fresh and delicious, without any fishy smell, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful."

The fishy smell is strong and you have to use large ingredients to suppress it. But this little girl used a few drops of cooking wine to solve this problem.

He saw Ji Wan's eyes full of admiration and admiration. He attracted the waiter and whispered a few instructions. The waiter nodded and took away the live fish of vinegar and pepper.

Ji Wan's eyes flashed and she didn't say anything.

The shopkeeper looked at Ji Wan, "Girl, I like the dish you made very much. You can offer a price, including the recipe for cooking wine you used, I bought it together."

"I just read the menu in your restaurant. The most expensive braised fish dish is sold for 68 yen. Winter soup dishes are the most popular, so there must be a soup for each table. The new dish I made is the most suitable for launching in this season. You should know what price it will be for sale."

Ji Wan was kind with a smile on her face, "Animal meat is not as good as poultry meat, and poultry meat is not as good as fish meat. I believe that live fish with vinegar and pepper will definitely sell very well. After counting this way, how much do you think this recipe is worth?"

The little girl looked like an experienced businessman and looked very smart.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He had thought it was strange before. Such a young girl, who is beautiful, why did she follow her brothers everywhere? Aren’t parents worried? Even if they are forced to make a living, they should have elders by their side.

He thought about it and found that this dish could be sold for more than 100 cents. According to the daily customer flow, at least 30 live fish can be sold every day. The net profit is conservatively estimated to be 2 taels, which is 60 taels per month. But the premise is that this dish is a unique feature of Zuixianju.

So he said, "Girl, if I buy the recipe for this dish, I will sign a contract with you and you will no longer be able to sell it to others. Such a big thing should be your father..."

"My father died early." Ji Wan said lightly: "I am the eldest daughter in the family, and I can decide on both big and small matters."

The shopkeeper was stunned and felt a little more sympathy.

At this time, the waiter came hurriedly, whispered a few words to him, the shopkeeper nodded, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then looked at Ji Wan again, saying, "Plus with the recipe of cooking wine, I will give you 120 taels, how about it?"

Ji Ping and Ji Cheng were dumbfounded and shocked by this number.

Ji Wan was also a little surprised. In this era, the prices were low and labor was low. The most expensive dishes in large restaurants like Zuixianju were no more than three taels of silver. The price she originally thought was only fifty or sixty taels.

I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was so generous and gave him a double price.

"good."

Ji Wan's eyes rolled and she said sincerely: "Uncle, I have new dishes in the future and I will sell them to you."

The shopkeeper was naturally happy and immediately signed a contract with her. He gave her a silver note of 100 taels of denomination and twenty taels of broken silver.

Ji Wan wrote down the recipe for cooking wine. The shopkeeper saw that she wrote a beautiful handwriting, and he saw that she had read a book. He couldn't help asking: "Does there be students at the girl's home?"

"My father once became a scholar."

Ji Wan's tone was calm, without showing off or showing off, but she had the pride of being a child.

The shopkeeper suddenly realized that he asked the waiter to send them out.

...

In the second floor, the window facing the street was open. A man in a gorgeous uniform stood by the window. He looked at the three brothers and sisters who were leaving the restaurant lazily and said, "Why are your prince suddenly interested in a little girl? He hasn't even grown up in this figure yet. There are so many ladies from aristocratic families in the capital that he chooses?"

Lu Ming's mouth twitched, "Young Master Qi, you misunderstood. The prince helped me just because he received favor from Miss Ji."

"oh?"

Qi Jiao was picking up the peach blossom eyes and smiled, "I thought he had a special hobby... But that girl looked pretty good, but she was too fucked and thin. If she kept her well for a few months, she would be a beauty, and it would be nice to be a concubine for your prince..."

"Young Master Qi, the prince is still waiting for news and say goodbye."

This young master from the prefect's family is the most romantic and wandering. He likes to think about giving women to his master for tricks.

He left as if he ran away.

"Hey, tell your prince, he owe me a favor."

Qi Jiu smiled evilly, and in a blink of an eye, someone asked someone to investigate Ji Wan. Lu Feili, who is as good as a monk all day, is not involved in women. It is easy to have some signs, how could he miss it?
