Chapter 40 Braised Baby Potatoes



Three days after reopening, Lin Chuan's noodle shop reverted to its original prices, and naturally, there were fewer customers than in the first three days.

However, Lin Chuan and his two brothers are still quite busy.

However, having a shop means they don't have to travel back and forth to the village, saving them a lot of time.

When there are no customers in the store, you can take a break.

While Lin Ping and Lin Wei were busy, Lin Chuan still managed to find time to study.

In addition, Lin Chuan will help promote Feng Liang's noodle shop, and Feng Liang will also help introduce Lin Chuan's noodle shop.

Many regular customers know that the owners of the two noodle shops have a good relationship.

Moreover, the taste is almost the same.

Zheng Yumei and her family didn't stay idle at home either.

Every day, she would bring back so much pork skin from the butcher shop. She and her two daughters-in-law would clean the pork skin and make pork skin jelly at home.

Then, early the next morning, whoever of the three Lin brothers went home to sleep the night before would be taken to the shop the next morning.

Everyone in the village was watching as Old Master Lin's family's life gradually became busier and better.

Zhou Xiuying grew anxious. "Xinglong, didn't you say you wanted to set up a stall in the county town? When are you going?"

Lin Xinglong lay down on the heated kang bed. "Grandma, it's almost snowing. Why set up a stall? It'll freeze people to death. Let's wait until next spring."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiuying became even more anxious.

"By next spring, how much money will Lin Chuan have made? Shouldn't you start a business as soon as possible?"

Lin Xinglong sat up. "Grandma, what are you saying? You really don't care about me. What's the temperature outside now? It'll get even colder in a while. In this temperature, anyone who sets up a stall outside is a fool."

Seeing Lin Xinglong like this, Zhou Xiuying felt disappointed and frustrated.

After all this trouble with Lin Chuan and the others, she was still hoping that Lin Xinglong would amount to something and surpass Lin Chuan.

Wu Chunhua, who was in the outer room, was also unwilling to listen. She stepped over the threshold with a mocking look on her face and said, "I'm telling you, grandma, so you don't care that Xinglong wasn't born of you? You think you can just make money whenever you want?"

Zhou Xiuying felt a tightness in her chest whenever she saw Wu Chunhua. "I'm not going to talk to you. If Lin Chuan can do it, why can't you? You can make money in the county town like it's free, but you just won't go!"

Wu Chunhua retorted angrily, "If you want to pick something up, go pick it up yourself. Don't stay at home causing all this trouble. Zheng Yumei spoils you, but I don't have that kind of patience!"

After saying that, she slammed the door and left.

Mentioning Zheng Yumei, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but curse her a few more times in her heart.

It's been so long, and Zheng Yumei hasn't even come to see her. A daughter-in-law who isn't her own daughter is just unacceptable!

In the kitchen of Chunmai Noodle Shop, Lin Chuan was washing some small potatoes.

Lin Wei leaned closer and said, "Da Chuan, what are you doing with these small potatoes? They're so tiny. Nobody would want them if they were just lying on the ground. If it weren't for the lack of food in the spring, nobody would even bother to bring them home."

Lin Chuan picked up a small potato and held it in his palm. "Wait until I make you something delicious, it smells amazing."

Lin Wei picked up the small potato. "This thing? How fragrant can it be?"

Lin Wei looked completely incredulous.

Lin Chuan smiled and took the small potatoes back to continue washing them, saying, "You'll see when I've cooked them."

The aspic sold well in the store, so Lin Chuan thought about adding some new items to the store.

He then thought of the braised potatoes with soy sauce he made in his past life.

If they're popular, it's easy to buy up these unwanted little potatoes, and with cellars, they're easy to store and inexpensive.

Lin Ping and Lin Wei saw Lin Chuan wash those inconspicuous little potatoes clean and put them into a pot to boil.

Once it's almost cooked, take it out and rinse it with cold water, then drain it thoroughly.

Heat oil in a pan, add potatoes, then add seasonings and sauce to color them...

When it was finally taken out of the pot, the aroma of the sauce filled the air.

Each little potato was coated in a rich sauce, making one's mouth water.

Lin Wei stared at the pot of freshly cooked potatoes. "Wow, you can make this with something nobody wants?"

Lin Chuan handed a spoon to Lin Wei and Lin Ping respectively, saying, "Don't burn yourselves."

Lin Wei scooped up a small potato, the spoonful coated in a thick sauce. He put the steaming potato into his mouth, took a bite, and found it soft, tender, and creamy. The aroma of the potato and the savory sauce blended perfectly, making it truly irresistible.

He didn't care that it was hot and ate another one.

Seeing that Lin Wei had already eaten two, Lin Ping also put one in his mouth.

Both of them started giving Lin Chuan a thumbs up.

Lin Wei exclaimed repeatedly, "This stuff is so delicious! It tastes even better with some rice."

Lin Ping said, "It's strange, I always thought this stuff was awful, but it tastes like this when it's made."

Lin Chuan said, "Brother, it's not that the food is bad or not, it's that in the past it could only be steamed or boiled. How much seasoning was put in this? Who would be willing to put oil and seasoning into these unwanted little potatoes?"

Lin Ping nodded. "That's true."

Since the weather is cool now, Lin Chuan let the prepared potatoes cool down before launching this pickled dish tonight.

Lin Chuan set the price at three cents per plate.

A plate of potatoes for three cents is not cheap.

However, this stuff uses a lot of oil and sauce. Although potatoes are cheap, the final cost isn't actually that low.

Customers who come to the store to eat noodles and buy braised meat can't resist trying one of the newly launched braised baby potatoes with soy sauce, which are also available for free tasting.

Almost every customer who tried these savory braised potatoes was amazed by their taste.

Everyone has tasted the flavor of these underdeveloped potatoes, and it's indescribable.

"Boss, the taste of your small potatoes is so unique, I'll have one."

"I'll have one too."

Just as Lin Chuan thought, who wouldn't like delicious food?

He made a small batch at first, and it sold out in no time.

Lin Chuan didn't return to the village that night; he made more and let it cool before selling it the next day.

Lin Ping finished packing his things and prepared to return to Yuquan Village. "This stuff sells surprisingly well. I'll just bring all the small potatoes from home with me."

Lin Wei stroked his chin and said, "What we have at home isn't enough to sell."

"I've already thought it through," Lin Chuan said. "Every household has stockpiled quite a bit. When I go back tomorrow, I'll tell them I'm buying small potatoes for five cents a pound. Things that were originally going to be thrown away will definitely be delivered by someone."
