Preparing four sets of recipes in a month is not an easy task.
Lin Jiaojiao bought a cookbook from her space.
I also asked Zhang Fang to help find out how much people like the new menu and how much it sells.
Based on this, choose a suitable recipe.
Then try out the selected dishes one by one at home and improve them.
Aunt Xiuqin was originally a frequent visitor to our house, and recently there was also Li Wenying, who came here every few days with things.
Lin Jiaojiao just found an opportunity and asked the two of them to help taste the dishes.
Find the flavor that suits you best and that you like best.
List the menus and deliver them to the island restaurant on time.
Fortunately, everything went well.
The customers at the Island Hotel were also very satisfied.
"Sister-in-law Wenying?"
"These are some newly grown eggplants from the vegetable garden out back. There are quite a few of them. I'll bring some over for you!"
"You've delivered food three times this week. First it was leeks, then tomatoes, and now eggplants. Everything we eat now is what you deliver."
"It's just a dish from our neighbors, don't take it personally. My wife loved the seafood you taught me to cook before. I don't know how to thank you!"
Li Wenying thought about what happened in the evening and smiled shyly.
"No need to thank me, it's just a few dishes."
"Oh, right!" Li Wenying thought of something and came close to Lin Jiaojiao and said excitedly, "I know a place with lots of seafood even when the tide is low, especially blue crabs. Do you want to go with me?"
"Where?"
“This place…”
Li Wenying was about to speak, but suddenly hesitated and lowered her voice, "It's a forbidden area. My husband says no one can get close to it, but I don't think it's too dangerous. I've secretly been there a few times before. There's not only seafood, but also lots of fruit trees!"
Fruit tree?
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
The trees in the space were all transplanted in the village before.
I haven't had time to collect the vegetation on the island yet.
I went to the beach before and saw many coconut trees on the way.
This is a rare opportunity!
"Are you going?"
“Why not?”
"Then you better follow me closely, and don't tell anyone else about this."
"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"
Li Wenying felt relieved after hearing what Lin Jiaojiao said.
Lin Jiaojiao changed her clothes and went out with Li Wenying.
That place is indeed a bit far away.
However, we encountered quite a few trees along the way.
The temperature on the island is very high and tropical plants grow there.
It's obvious that few people come to this forest.
Not only are there a variety of fruit trees, but other vegetation is also very lush.
Lin Jiaojiao looked a little excited and couldn't help but slow down.
In addition to coconut trees, there are mangoes, mangosteens, durians...
Lin Jiaojiao looked at a tree full of red fruits on the side of the road, and walked forward to check it out in confusion, and found that it was actually wax apple!
I've eaten this twice before.
Once when I was in school, my roommate bought some and let everyone try it together.
My mouth is full of ginger taste, it tastes terrible!
Later, when I became financially independent, I went on a trip to the seaside and tried eating it again.
I found that the wax apples there are really delicious!
The taste was completely different and left a deep impression on her.
I didn't expect to meet you here today.
“This is delicious!”
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao staring at the fruit tree in a daze, Li Wenying smiled and picked two fruits: "And they are very thirst-quenching. Just rinse them with water and you can eat them!"
"Thank you." Lin Jiaojiao didn't refuse. She took it and took a bite. The taste was exactly the same as what she had tasted when she was traveling before!
“It’s really delicious!”
Li Wenying was delighted to hear Lin Jiaojiao say this. Pointing to the forest ahead, she said, "I just saw some newly fallen coconuts nearby. I'll go pick them up before the bugs destroy them. Wait here!"
Seeing that the person had walked away, Lin Jiaojiao immediately transplanted a small wax apple seedling next to her into the space.
I also moved a few of the coconut trees, mangoes, durians, and mangosteens that I had my eyes on into the space.
When Li Wenying came back with two coconuts, she had just finished her work.
"Here, take it!"
Li Wenying was generous and directly gave one to Lin Jiaojiao.
The two rested for a while and continued walking forward.
Walking out of the woods, there is a large undeveloped beach in front of you.
Looking from afar, the blue sea and sky merge into one.
There were only the two of them around, and apart from the sounds of the sea breeze and waves, it was unspeakably quiet!
Li Wenying excitedly introduced: "This place is full of blue crabs and starfish. The larger blue crabs can weigh more than three pounds, and the smaller ones are much bigger than the beach we visited before. As for starfish, you said you liked them before, but the ones you collected are not as beautiful as the ones here!"
"real?"
"Why would I lie to you? Come with me!"
Lin Jiaojiao was aroused by Li Wenying.
Come to think of it, I haven't cooked crabs recently.
If there are really more than three pounds, she can use it to research new dishes!
The thought of this immediately piqued my interest, and I followed closely: "Okay, then we must return with a full load today!"
As soon as we approached the mudflats, we saw many blue crabs crawling around unscrupulously.
In addition, there are some other seafood, all of which are indeed plump and delicious!
Lin Jiaojiao was delighted to see this, but couldn't help but feel curious.
"There are so many good things around here, not only seafood but also many fruit trees. Why don't you let people come? What's the point of this?"
Li Wenying wasn't surprised to hear Lin Jiaojiao ask this. "My husband said it was because the forest was dense and the mudflats were large, so he was afraid of danger. But I don't think he was telling the truth!"
"How do you say that?"
"It's true that people like us who come from outside the island are unfamiliar with this place, but you said that the local fishermen don't allow us to come, which is a bit unreasonable. Besides, there is a legend here!"
Seeing Li Wenying acting mysteriously, Lin Jiaojiao's curiosity was piqued: "What legend?"
"This is a long story. Come on, I'll show you something!"
Walking to the westernmost part of the mudflat, you can see two tall rocks standing near the coastline from a distance.
For some reason, Lin Jiaojiao always felt familiar, as if she had been here before.
Li Wenying started talking to herself: "These are not ordinary stones, they have names."
"What?"
"The ends of the earth."
? !
Lin Jiaojiao was shocked. She died here while traveling in her previous life.
I didn’t expect that the undeveloped Tianya Haijiao scenic area in the 1970s would look like this.
"I also heard this from the fishermen. A long time ago, there were no rocks here at all. It was just a desolate beach until a woman trapped in love appeared."
