"This is shrimp and egg drop soup, which has the smoothness of eggs and the freshness of shrimp."

"I also added some chopped green onions, which can bring out the flavor of this soup."

"I'm not bragging, but this soup alone is enough to make you eat a bowl of rice even without any other dishes."

After hearing Lin Xue's description, not only the constable who was drinking the soup, but also the diners around him were somewhat tempted.

"Boss, please add a shrimp and egg drop soup to our table as well!"

"We want some too!"

"Boss, when did you add new dishes? How come I didn't know?"

In no time, everyone, whether they had ordered food or not, ordered a bowl of shrimp and egg drop soup. And some sharp-eyed people noticed the two dishes on the constable's table.

One of the braised pork slices looked crystal clear, with a layer of glistening broth coating the tender pork slices, making it look delicious.

"Well, I've never made either of these dishes before, Third Sister-in-law!"

Hearing the commotion ahead, Huang Dequan quickly came out. Seeing that everyone wanted to try the new dishes, he looked at Lin Xue with some difficulty and said...

"I'll teach you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue went back to the kitchen and began to teach Lin Xue how to make the two dishes.

"The key to this braised pork with vinegar is to maintain the tender and bouncy texture of the meat, while the shrimp and egg drop soup is simpler..." Lin Xue only made it once in front of Huang Dequan, and he had already learned it.

"Hey, we still have so many peanuts here?"

After Huang Dequan had mastered the two dishes, Lin Xue wandered around the kitchen again and found half a bag of peanuts in a nearby bag.

"This was a gift from a friend who came to visit me. He said it was grown at his home. I tasted it and it was pretty good. I'm thinking of bringing some home for my family to try next time I go back!"

"I haven't had peanuts in a long time. Do you mind if I take some out and fry some peanuts?"

It's been a long time since I've had candied peanuts. I'm glad I didn't see them; seeing them makes me crave that taste.

"Please feel free to use it, Third Sister-in-law. We're all family, no need to be polite!"

One wave of customers left and another wave arrived. Huang Dequan is currently busy cooking. In addition, he has two new dishes today, and customers subconsciously order one of them when they order food.

This inadvertently increased Huang Dequan's workload, but he was very happy, because the busier he was, the more money he would earn.

After working for about half an hour, Lin Xue's candied peanuts were finally ready.

She put all the peanuts into a large tray and let them cool.

As the surface of the peanuts cools, the sugar coating on them becomes increasingly white.

"Brother, have a taste!"

Lin Xue placed the candied peanuts in front of Huang Dequan and let him try one.

"Mmm, delicious!"

If he hadn't been busy cooking, Huang Dequan might have wanted to eat a couple more.

"Third sister-in-law, this is the first time I've ever seen someone prepare peanuts like this!"

When Sister-in-law Liu came in to serve the dishes, she happened to see the tray that Lin Xue was carrying.

"Women and children might prefer this flavor!"

Lin Xue also let Liu try two pieces, saying, "You're right, this stuff is more suitable as a snack, it's no worse than candied fruit or preserves!"

Liu thought to herself that if Lin Xue was willing to give them the recipe, then their small eatery might have to add another specialty snack.

"There are many ways to eat peanuts, such as candied peanuts, peanut brittle, peanut nougat, peanut brittle..."

"Sister-in-law, if you have time, you can learn these things from me and sell them in your shop. I reckon it will attract a new wave of customers!"

Lin Xue placed the tray on the front counter, then filled a plate with some of the contents and took it to the backyard.

She made a lot, and her family definitely couldn't finish it all, so she left the rest for her sister-in-law to sell.

After Lin Xue left, the guests curiously ran to the counter to look at the candied peanuts on the tray.

"Boss lady, what is this? It's all white and granular. I've been looking at it for ages and I still can't figure out what it is!"

Some of the regular customers were bolder and asked the question on the spot.

"These are candied peanuts made by my younger brother and sister-in-law. They're perfect as a snack with drinks, or you can buy some to sweeten the palates of the women and children in your family!"

While explaining to the guests, Liu couldn't resist picking up another one and putting it in her mouth.

The taste is absolutely wonderful. You can hold it in your mouth and wait for the sugar frosting to slowly melt. Once the sugar frosting has completely melted, you can still chew on the crunchy peanuts.

"May I try some?"

Seeing the expression of enjoyment on Liu's face, the guest couldn't help but ask.

"Sure, I have chopsticks here!"

Liu quickly handed her chopsticks to the other person, who then picked up a peanut and put it in their mouth.

"Hmm~"

"Delicious! How much are these candied peanuts? Weigh some out for my husband to try when we get home!"

The man took just one bite and thought it tasted sweet; he knew his wife and kids would love it.

After calculating the cost of Lin Xue's ingredients, plus the expenses for oil, salt, sugar, etc., Liu finally came up with a figure in her mind.

"You're a regular customer at our shop, so I won't beat around the bush. How about 20 coins for half a catty?"

At this time of year, peanuts are cheap; you can buy a pound for just a few coins.

The main reason is that white sugar is more expensive; a small dish of peanuts sold in their shop usually costs only two coins.

This half-pound of peanuts can fill about five small dishes. Because these candied peanuts have added white sugar, it's not a big deal that they cost two coins more.

After considering this, Liu felt that she wasn't too heartless.

"Okay, this stuff is much cheaper than the candy sold outside. It tastes even better than the candy sold outside. Boss lady, weigh out half a pound for me!"

The man also had his own calculations in mind. He was a merchant doing business in the area and had naturally eaten quite a few snacks on a daily basis.

These sugar-coated peanuts can be eaten as candy or as peanut brittle.

The man thought that 20 coins for half a catty wasn't too expensive, so he weighed some and planned to take it home for his wife and children to eat.

Seeing that someone had started buying, the other guests sitting at the table couldn't help but come over as well.

Some people are reluctant to spend twenty coins to buy half a catty, but they are willing to spend four coins to buy a small dish.

Soon, Lin Xue's tray of candied peanuts was sold out.

As Liu counted the money she had earned in the first half of the day, a smile played on her lips.

My third sister-in-law was a great help today; she plans to cook several good dishes for lunch.

Her parents in the countryside rarely ate meat more than twice a year, so she thought she would cook a couple of meat dishes so that her parents and her third brother and sister-in-law could have a good meal.

Lin Xue carried the plate of candied peanuts to the inner courtyard and handed it to Old Man Huang and Old Lady Huang so they could eat it to pass the time. Then she returned to the front hall to help greet the guests.

I don't know why, but there are an unusually large number of customers today.

They open for business around 8 or 9 in the morning and are still getting customers until after 12 noon.
