Jiang Yue cut off the lobster head and made a thirteen-spice lobster tail. The aroma was already fragrant before it was even out of the pot.
Liu Fengxian smelled the fragrance and felt hungry. When she saw Jiang Yue lift the lid of the pot, she said, "Give me a bowl and let my husband have a taste!"
"Okay!" Jiang Yue had not seen the legendary husband of Liu Fengxian yet. She heard from the aunties and grandmas gossip that Liu Fengxian's husband rarely showed up, and the person who ran errands for their family and bought and delivered groceries was a mute boy in his twenties.
It can be seen from Liu Fengxian's clothes that she is very particular. The furnishings in her home are also very tasteful. She uses a rosewood tray to serve bowls.
"Wait for me here for a while!"
Leaving behind a few words, Liu Fengxian left with the tray.
As soon as she left, Tang Ziyang, who had been standing next to her with a sullen face, could not help but said, "Jiang Yue, why do you insist on cooperating with her? Don't you know who she is? You are an innocent girl, don't you want a reputation?"
"Tang Ziyang, times have changed. Don't be limited to the past perception of people!" Jiang Yue said as he looked around.
Liu Fengxian's home is in a deep alley. There is a three-story house in front, a typical Jiangnan-style building, and nothing special about it.
However, after entering, Jiang Yue discovered a different world.
The kitchen is located in the backyard, with a lake in sight. The lake flows into a river, and on the other side of the river are farmlands. There are lotus leaves in the lake and rice ears in the farmlands.
The backyard is spacious and has been transformed into a waterside pavilion, with a wooden plank path leading to the pavilion in the lake.
The scenery is breathtaking!
"Jiang Yue! Jiang Yue, are you listening to me?"
Jiang Yue was looking at the village across the river when she suddenly heard Tang Ziyang's voice. She looked back and asked, "What did you say?"
Tang Ziyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth before continuing, "Jiang Yue, you are not from here, so you don't know what kind of person Liu Fengxian is. People here avoid her, but it can't be that everyone has problems!"
Seeing Tang Ziyang so excited, Jiang Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "We are just doing business with her. If you really don't like dealing with her, let the third brother come with me next time!"
"Jiang Yue!" Tang Ziyang's face turned red with anger when he saw Jiang Yue was so stubborn.
"Hey, Tang Ziyang, can you not be so excited? Now we are the ones asking for cooperation, and they may not be willing to accept it!" Jiang Yue said.
"Okay, okay! I won't come back until I get rid of 500 kilograms of crayfish. That's all right, right?" Jiang Yue could see that Tang Ziyang was usually taciturn, but he would never waver from his convictions. Instead of arguing with him here, it would be better to give him some slack first and then reason with him when she got back.
Tang Ziyang snorted.
Not long after, Liu Fengxian came back. She looked gentle and smiled at Jiang Yue, "Girl, my husband really approves of your cooking skills. He said that the dish you made is very delicious!"
Jiang Yue was turning her head away, ignoring each other with Tang Ziyang, but when she heard Liu Fengxian's words, the smile in her big eyes suddenly overflowed with joy.
"What about our cooperation, sister?"
"Well, my husband is willing to accept your cooperation!" Liu Fengxian looked at Jiang Yue with a gentle smile, "There are not many people who can get my husband's approval! Now you can tell me your ideas."
After some discussion, the two reached an agreement. Liu Fengxian agreed to add crayfish to her family's menu, and the money from the sales would be split 50-50 between the two.
Jiang Yue came to Liu Fengxian just to get rid of the 500 kilograms of crayfish. Although Liu Fengxian wanted a high share, if Jiang Yue disagreed, the last 500 kilograms of crayfish would either be thrown away or left at home to die before being thrown away.
The Tang family can eat some of it, but they can’t eat crayfish for every meal.
Later, when Jiang Yue found out the price Liu Fengxian had set for crayfish, he calculated it and realized that he was not at a disadvantage.
On that day, Liu Fengxian's private restaurant consumed fifty or sixty kilograms of crayfish. In the following days, more than twenty plates were sold every day, which totaled more than one hundred kilograms.
By the fifth day, more than 200 kilograms of crayfish were sold in one day.
This is the sales volume when the diners of Liu Fengxian's private restaurant are all people of status in Jiacheng and the audience is not very wide.
Originally, Liu Fengxian was worried that crayfish lived in the mud and looked dirty and not worthy of being served in a banquet, and she was afraid that her customers would not like this kind of food. However, within just a few days, everyone who came to her house for dinner would order a dish of crayfish.
Liu Fengxian introduced crayfish to everyone who came to dine: "Crayfish is a freshwater crustacean with a good taste. Its protein content is higher than most fish and shrimps. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, easy to digest, and rich in minerals. Lobster is rich in protein, as well as copper, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and other elements. Eating it in moderation can supplement trace elements and improve the body's immunity."
These are what Jiang Yue taught Liu Fengxian to say. She said them so many times that she had memorized them all.
In addition to supplying crayfish to Fengxian Private Restaurant, Jiang Yue also cooks one or two special dishes, and Liu Fengxian will give her a 20% commission.
Since Jiang Yue’s specialty dishes were very popular, Liu Fengxian discussed with Jiang Yue and added a few more dishes to the menu.
When he returned home that day, Tang Ziyang was sulking for three days. After mobilizing Tang Jingjing and Gong Yasheng to persuade him to give in but to no avail, and seeing that Jiang Yue was still insisting on her own way, he had no choice but to compromise.
These days, Jiang Yue went to Liu Fengxian's house every day, and Tang Ziyang followed him every day and didn't go to Huamu Commune anymore.
"Jiang Yue, didn't you say that you wouldn't go out after you processed the crayfish?" That morning, Tang Ziyang saw Jiang Yue was about to go out again, so he stopped her at the door.
"I'm their special chef now, so I have to go! This is my job!" Jiang Yue said with a smile.
"Jiang Yue, do you know that many people have been talking about you recently?" Tang Ziyang was angry at Jiang Yue for not loving herself because he heard the rumors that were spread because of Jiang Yue's dealings with Liu Fengxian. He could cooperate with anyone except Liu Fengxian!
"Let them talk about their own things. I haven't lost any meat!" Jiang Yue didn't care.
"But what they said were so nasty! They said Liu Fengxian's private restaurant was not a legitimate business, and that you--" Tang Ziyang bit his lip, his handsome face flushed, and he couldn't say those words.
"What did you say about me? That I'm not serious?" Jiang Yue knew from Tang Ziyang's expression that he was saying something bad. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't care too much because she couldn't listen for two days.
"Tang Ziyang, there is something I want to tell you. I have bought a train ticket for three days later." Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to tell Tang Ziyang in advance.
"Buy a train ticket?" Tang Ziyang didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a few seconds before asking: "What do you buy a train ticket for?"
Jiang Yue chuckled. "You asked a question like that. What else can I do after buying a train ticket? Of course, I want to leave here!"
Tang Ziyang's face turned pale, "Are you leaving?"
