Finally, we stir-fried diced meat with bean sprouts. Only after all the meat was plated did we start making the boiled fish.

Because the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are fried in advance to release their aroma, the aroma of numbing spiciness filled most of the restaurant in an instant.

People who have never eaten chili peppers will only feel the spiciness and cough.

Although it felt pungent, the smell was incredibly tempting, so when Manager Wang smelled the odor coming from the kitchen, he stood there restless.

Although the choking made my nose and eyes water, I couldn't wait to get to the kitchen.

Su Sanlang was very worried. The little dumpling was still standing in the kitchen. He saw that the little dumpling was sitting there without any problems, eating peanuts with relish.

Only then did I finally relax.

After Su Sanlang plated the boiled fish, he couldn't help but salivate at the aroma. Thinking that his daughter had never eaten at a restaurant before, he decided to splurge today.

"Sweetie, we'll eat at a restaurant today. Whatever you want to eat, Daddy will buy it for you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Manager Wang standing at the kitchen door, sneezing incessantly.

"Shopkeeper, I just finished making this. Would you like to try some?"

"Alright, alright, let's go upstairs."

After finishing his speech, Manager Wang stepped forward and looked at the dishes on the table. Both their appearance and the enticing aromas made his mouth water.

He instructed Xiao Liu, who was standing outside the door, to "come and take the dishes upstairs."

Then she led Su Sanlang upstairs.

Following Manager Wang, they entered a private room on the right-hand side of the second floor. Soon, the waiter behind them had already set out the plates.

Su Muyao was carried to a stool. After exchanging a few polite words, Manager Wang turned his attention back to the dishes in front of him.

Looking at the layer of red chili peppers inside the boiled fish, he didn't know how to start eating it, so he had to let the waiter taste it first.

He simply looked at the waiter beside him and asked, "It's just a dish, is it necessary to act like it's a monster? Try it."

Upon hearing this, the young man secretly rolled his eyes. "If you're not afraid, why don't you try it yourself?"

But urged by the shopkeeper, the young waiter still picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

After just two bites, his eyes lit up, and he began to savor it carefully.

This fish is not only boneless, but also not fishy at all; instead, it has a spicy and savory flavor.

The key point is that it doesn't affect the freshness and tenderness of the fish meat; it's simply the best fish meat he's ever eaten.

Without realizing it, I picked up another piece, put it in my mouth, and ate it quickly.

The shopkeeper saw that the young waiter was about to take a third bite before he spoke up: "Go back to the kitchen and get busy."

The waiter seemed not to have heard what Manager Wang said, quickly picked up another piece and put it in his mouth before leaving the private room.

Manager Wang knew from this that the dish must taste amazing.

Seeing that his servants had no adverse reactions, he also picked up a piece of fish and savored it.

The moment it enters your mouth, the spicy and savory flavor instantly hits your brain.

I soon discovered that the fish was truly fresh and delicious, and that one bite made my pores feel open, which was very comforting.

Most importantly, after taking a few bites, I felt a warm sensation all over my body, and I didn't feel cold at all in this weather.

With this spicy and savory flavor, I feel like I could eat two bowls of rice with it; it really whets the appetite.

I also added some stir-fried bean sprouts, which tasted very refreshing.

This is the first time I've ever eaten this kind of dish; it has a refreshing quality that's hard to describe.

Stir-fried diced meat with bean sprouts is also very innovative; I feel that the bean sprouts are more delicious than the meat in this dish.

Judging from the shopkeeper's demeanor, Su Sanlang knew that he was very satisfied with the bean sprouts, at least he wouldn't have to worry about the sales of the bean sprouts.

The old shopkeeper ordered a bowl of rice from the waiter, which he then ate with the boiled fish.

It's funny that I only remembered the important thing after I'd eaten most of it; it was really rude of me.

At this moment, the waiter, who was very observant, brewed a pot of tea and brought it in.

Manager Wang got up and poured a cup of tea for Su Laosan and Naituanzi respectively, and then specially instructed the waiter to bring up a few plates of pastries.

Then he asked Su Sanlang, "How much do you plan to price these bean sprouts?"

Su Sanlang calmly explained, "As far as I know, there are no vegetables in winter, so it's not advisable to sell fresh things too cheaply at the beginning, otherwise it would lose its uniqueness."

Manager Wang naturally understood what he meant; it seemed the price wouldn't be cheap.

"It is confirmed that we can continue to supply goods from this point onwards."

"Yes, but the quantity is limited. Bean sprouts need a suitable temperature to grow, so it can only be done indoors."

"The shopkeeper is very knowledgeable and experienced in business. Please tell me the price first, and let's see what new dishes you have in the future so we can continue to cooperate."

After pondering for a moment, Manager Wang said, "Four copper coins a pound, how about that?"

The old shopkeeper was thinking of five or six coins, which wasn't impossible; business is business, and you always have to haggle a bit.

Su Laosan raised his hand and said, "Eight copper coins. After deducting costs, we won't make much profit. Do you think that's acceptable? If not, I can find another job."

Su Muyao was eating the osmanthus cake that the waiter brought over, her head down.

But the upturned corners of her mouth proved that she was in a good mood.

Where is the cost? Eight coins is already a lot. Here, eight coins can buy four meat buns.

The prices in this dynasty are relatively low, unlike those novels I've read that cost thousands or tens of thousands of taels.

The old shopkeeper thought for a while before making the decision.

"Eight coins it is, but I have one condition: you can only supply goods to us from now on. Is that acceptable?"

Su Sanlang looked at his precious child. He hadn't mentioned this when he came!

Su Muyao wiped her mouth and said with a smile.

"Uncle, our family is definitely honest, but if we sell beans in the future and someone figures out how to sprout them, then that's none of our business!"

"I understand, of course I understand. As long as other families don't serve these dishes for the next month, it'll be fine."

The shopkeeper, however, was thinking that within a month he could win back all the customers he had lost with just these few dishes.

"Okay, then it's settled. Shall we take these bean sprouts now? We can weigh them."

Suddenly remembering something, Manager Wang quickly asked, "Wait, young man, would you mind having the recipes for these dishes?"

The old shopkeeper knew that it was indeed inappropriate to say such a thing, since many people would hold onto a prescription like it was something precious.

Some people even pass the recipe down to the next generation, so I feel it's a bit inappropriate to ask about it so casually.

But if you let your own chef figure it out, they really can't figure out the taste right away.
