Lin Nan had made preparations early in the morning. This was just like soliciting investment. It must be worthy of investment.
"I can make a few dishes for you to try first, and then I can decide whether to cooperate or not."
"Okay!" Lou Zhan did not hesitate.
This method is the best. The restaurant will not suffer losses, and it can also test Lin Nanyi's strength.
Several people came down from the second floor and went directly to the kitchen.
The kitchen is very large, with more than a dozen Yantai being sorted one after another, and they are currently preparing the dishes they need for the afternoon.
The ingredients are arranged very neatly, and you can basically tell what they are at a glance.
I already have a rough idea of the cuisine in my mind.
"You guys go out and wait for me!"
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the prepared chicken.
Spicy chicken is the first big dish she cooks.
Neither Yan Wenzhi nor Lou Zhan made any move, they just stood at the door, watching Lin Nan navigate the kitchen with ease.
Chef Wang, who was in charge of the kitchen, didn't know why the owner would let a girl Pianzi come to the kitchen to cook.
Feeling the crisis inexplicably, he quickly walked to the shopkeeper and asked.
The shopkeeper glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Don't ask about the master's affairs."
Chef Wang was suffocating in his heart. Watching Lin Nan skillfully chop and marinate the chicken, he knew that her cooking skills must be quite good.
Could it be that...the master noticed his actions?
He couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and secretly looked at Lou Zhan again. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lou Zhan didn't notice him.
Spicy chicken can be considered a tough dish.
After the chicken was marinated, the dried chili peppers were soaked in warm water, and we started to prepare other dishes in a hurry.
Everyone was watching with unblinking eyes. Although she was busy, she didn't panic at all. She had done the same thing many times and had everything under control.
The other side dishes are ready, and the marinating time for the chicken has come. Heat the pan with cold oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken directly and fry it. When it is cooked, take it out and control the oil, and fry it again to ensure the freshness and tenderness of the chicken.
After the meat is cooked, the next critical step is to heat the oil again and add in seasonings such as dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns that will give off the spiciness. Stir-fry until the flavor develops, then add the chicken and stir-fry again.
The eyes of the people waiting nearby were wide-eyed. They had never seen this done before, and the spicy smell made some of them choke and cover their noses.
Chef Wang was very proud when he saw this. It looked like an embroidered pillow. No matter how hard he worked, it would be useless if he didn't know how to cook. No one dared to challenge his position as the chef of Banshan Restaurant.
Everyone present except Yan Wenzhi probably thought so. After all, the smell was too spicy and it was extremely uncomfortable when it entered the nasal cavity.
The shopkeeper's look at Lin Nanyi also changed.
Only Yan Wenzhi is always gentle and has a firm gaze.
He has tasted her craftsmanship, so he knows how good she is.
The spiciness in the air was gradually replaced by fragrance, and Chef Wang was stunned.
This was the first time he smelled such a fragrant smell.
After a while, the spicy chicken came out of the pot, and the meatball soup was still cooking on the small stove. The spicy chicken should be eaten while it's hot for the best taste.
Lin Nan quickly took out the chicken and put it in front of several people. He passed the chopsticks forward and said, "Try it?"
Yan Wenzhi took the chopsticks first. Before Lou Zhan and others could react, he took a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. The spicy taste immediately filled his mouth.
The chicken is not old and dry like you see, but is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and even falls off the bone.
It's just that the spiciness makes it a bit unbearable for him who doesn't usually eat chili peppers, but overall the aroma is still dominant.
It's like eating rice unconsciously.
Yan Wenzhi's skin is very white. I don't know whether it is due to being sick all the time or because he is born with it. His face is reddish and his lips are red, which makes people think wildly.
Seeing this, Lou Zhan also took the chopsticks. He likes spicy food the most. After eating a piece, his eyes suddenly lit up. This kind of spiciness is not just a simple chili spiciness, but spicy. It is just the right spiciness for him. Usually,
I almost always eat stewed chicken, but now I feel that the spiciness brings out the aroma of the chicken even more.
"Shopkeeper Li, try it."
He spat out the chicken bones gracefully, pursed his lips before restraining himself from extending his chopsticks further, and signaled to Shopkeeper Li.
Lou Zhan is the kind of person who knows how to eat, otherwise he wouldn't have opened this mid-level restaurant all over Dali, and the business would have been so prosperous.
Shopkeeper Li knew that Lin Nan had succeeded when he saw him like this. The spicy chicken was so bright and red that it made people salivate when they saw it. After eating one piece, he just wanted to eat more and kept eating.
Chef Wang stood behind and was extremely anxious. He didn't dare to be presumptuous when his master was here, but the expressions of enjoyment on their faces made him panic.
Gradually, the look in Lin Nanyi's eyes also showed hatred and even murderous intent.
He cannot allow anyone to threaten his position in the Mid-Levels Restaurant, otherwise, not only will the money he usually earns be found out, but his job will also be in jeopardy.
Lin Nan had no time to care about him. Seeing that everyone was eating happily, he turned around to make the next dish.
Spicy chicken is a heavy dish, so she will naturally consider people who like light food, so she will make meatball soup for this dish.
I made the meatball soup easily when I was making spicy chicken. Now it is spicy in several people's mouths. It is really comfortable to eat a bowl of soup.
After looking at the color of the meatballs, I saw that they were already cooked. I grabbed a handful of fresh pea tips and placed them at the bottom of the bowl. I poured a spoonful of soup on them, then put a few meatballs on top, and a steaming bowl of meatball soup was ready.
.
This time there was no need for her to say anything, everyone consciously picked up their bowls and tasted it.
The spicy taste left in the mouth was immediately dissipated by the freshness of the soup. The uncooked pea tips retained just the right crispness. The meatballs were pinched very tightly and bounced when you bit them, as if they were going to stick in your mouth.
Dancing like an elf.
I have to say that the spicy chicken and meatball soup are a perfect match. Not only can you taste the spicy and spicy chicken, but you can also taste the fresh and mellow meatballs. This is simply the greatest satisfaction for your taste buds.
Lin Nan was not in a hurry. Seeing Lou Zhan eating a mouthful of chicken and soup, she slowly sat next to him and waited.
This kind of cuisine is enough to be her trump card, and she is not only good at these.
After eating and drinking, Lou Zhan looked at her with a more serious expression and said, "Let's go upstairs to talk about cooperation."
Lin Nan didn't hesitate, got up and followed Lou Zhan out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Naturally, Yan Wenzhi and shopkeeper Li also wanted to follow.
Chef Wang looked at the eaten leftovers and didn't understand what kind of taste could be so attractive.
I couldn't help but secretly taste a piece. It was so delicious that I wanted to swallow it all.
Even though Lin Nanyi's craftsmanship was really great, he still couldn't let her threaten his position, and a conspiracy gradually took shape in his mind.
Back on the second floor, Lou Zhan became even more interested. From these two dishes, he knew that Lin Nan could do more than just that. He could make spicy, fresh, dried vegetables and soups.
"How do you plan to do this business, girl?"
"In the first half of the year, I can provide three dishes to the restaurant every month, and then one every month. I want 20% of the profit generated by these dishes."
Lou Zhan smiled bitterly. What he said just now was three recipes per month, but now it has become three recipes per month for the first half of the year. Could this be blaming him for his previous distrust?
What a stingy girl.
"I also need to advance two thousand taels of silver to me. I also have business to do, and I also cook food, but I will not duplicate it with the restaurant."
Looking at the two fingers she stretched out, if it hadn't been for what she said just now, I would have thought she was in Biye.
"Two thousand taels? This girl is opening her mouth like a lion."
The fan in Lou Zhan's hand suddenly closed, and the handle of the fan hit the table, just like knocking on the heart, which made people feel uneasy.
How can someone who can build such a big business be a simple person?
Of course it's impossible, but she can use the advantage of time travel to cheat and bargain, something she wouldn't accept in her previous life.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, I can only find another company."
Lin Nan pretended to sigh, and Shi Shiran stood up, pulling Yan Wenzhi to walk out.
Yan Wenzhi lowered his eyebrows and looked at the hand she was holding. There were a lot of calluses on her fingers, and the skin felt rough when touched, but he didn't resist it at all. Instead, he felt... quite good.
This move will definitely turn the situation around.
Lou Zhan and her were as clear-eyed as each other. One knew he would agree, and the other knew he needed money.
They walked to the door, and Lou Zhan said helplessly, seemingly with a hint of doting, "Okay, I agree."
Lin Nan pursed her lips slightly, but there was a smile that couldn't be concealed at the corner of her mouth. She couldn't help but tighten Yan Wenzhi's hand, she knew it.
Turning back, his expression was a little tangled, as if he hadn't thought about it yet.
This is considered to have been grasped by her.
But is there any way to make him like this taste?
"Two thousand taels of silver in cash, can you give me now?"
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Lou Zhan took out a stack of banknotes from his chest. Lin Nanyi's eyes instantly turned into money symbols and kept flashing.
I was secretly happy, I found this business really well.
"Today these two dishes are given to me, and the cash will be settled immediately. Miss Lin always gives some gifts when talking about business." Lou Zhan smiled half-heartedly, and he could see the calculation that belonged to the businessman.
Gan! It’s true that there is no treachery or businessmanship.
"Okay." Lin Nan gritted his teeth and agreed.
It's just two dishes. Compared with the eight major cuisines in the previous life, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Shopkeeper Li was very fast and drafted a contract in a short time. Lin Nan was illiterate, so he naturally asked Yan Wenzhi to read the contract.
He looked at it very carefully. This was Lin Nanyi's first time doing business. The previous Jicong could only be regarded as a small fight. He couldn't let the problem arise in his own place, otherwise he would feel guilty and uncomfortable.
This is also to live up to Lin Nan's trust in him. The most important thing in doing business is the contract.
Lou Zhan could tell at a glance that he was a veteran in the shopping mall. They were both new to the business and couldn't beat him. They could only work harder on these little things and try not to make any loopholes.
After reading it three times and making sure there was nothing wrong, the two of them signed the contract. The contract was made in two copies, one for each person.
After the contract was signed, Lin Nanyi and Lou Zhan officially became partners.
