Lin Mo noticed the changes in everyone. He said to the burly man who had spoken, "My Lin's Pickled Fish specializes in these five dishes. Pickled Fish is our signature dish. Big Brother, you can try it first. If you think it tastes good, you can come in and order."
The sturdy man was stunned, looking at the five dishes he had never seen before, and couldn't help swallowing.
It was the first time he had seen a dish that looked so good.
Some of the dishes don’t look like they’re made with fish, and you can’t even smell any fishy smell.
“Is it a free trial?”
Lin Mo nodded in response and considerately handed a pair of chopsticks to the strong man.
When they heard it was free, not only the strong man, but also the other onlookers expressed their desire to try it.
Led by a strong man, they spontaneously lined up at Lin Mo's signal.
Su Mu was responsible for picking up fish fillets for the people who were tasting the food, and each person could taste a bite of each dish.
After tasting it, everyone praised it in unison, especially the old men with bad teeth, whose pupils were dizzy and their eyes were surprisingly bright.
Most of them have been reluctant to eat meat all their lives in order to save money. Now that they are old, even if they are willing to spend money, they can't chew the meat, and if they are not careful, they may break the few remaining teeth.
But now, they ate something delicious that was even better than meat. The fish was not only tender and smooth, but also tasted delicious. The meat they had eaten before was not even half as good as this fish.
"It's so delicious! It's nothing like any fish I've ever had before!"
"Yes, it's so tender and smooth. Before I could taste anything, it slipped into my stomach."
"That soup is amazing! I can't wait! I haven't had breakfast yet, and this smell is making me hungry! I need to go in and eat my fill right now!"
"Me too, me too!"
“…”
Everyone who tasted it had an intoxicated look on their face, and they were talking about going to the shop.
Having tasted all five dishes, many people had their favorites in mind, while some looked conflicted because they couldn't choose.
The burly man who spoke first was even more surprised. He directly ordered the signature dish plus the two cold dishes.
With him leading the way, many people soon came into the store. Many of them would choose the fish they wanted to eat in front of the counter, but most of them just picked whichever one Lin Wu caught.
In order to ensure that the order of cooking is not messed up, diners line up, everyone who orders dinner.
Su Mu would write a number slip for them and tell them their order, and then wait for their number to be called.
You can go directly to the dining area to pick up the food, or wait for Lin Wu to bring it to the table.
All of a sudden, everyone in the store returned to their seats and started working.
The fish ingredients and soup base are all prepared in advance. The busiest process is killing the fish, scraping the scales and slicing the fish.
The six people in the kitchen helped each other, killing fish one after another, and they were busy without any rest.
But everyone was well organized, and although they were busy and hard-working, nothing went wrong.
"One person probably can't finish a whole fish. You can share a table or order half a fish individually. In short, don't waste it."
Su Mu's voice is very unique, neither hurried nor slow, with a soothing coolness and gentleness.
It was particularly obvious amid the noisy and excited voices of the diners.
The young men at the counter nodded immediately, "Then let's team up and each pay half!"
"Then I'll just order half a piece. I want to eat it by myself!"
The people in the queue each stated their requests. Seeing so many people queuing, Su Mu kept writing down the queue numbers on his hands.
He was filled with joy, his eyebrows curved slightly, and his smile was shy and gentle. Lin Mo was right, today was indeed an auspicious day for the opening.
"Congratulations, Brother Mo, it's been a long time since we last met. Today is the day you open your new shop, and I came all the way here to show my support."
Lin Mo was busy helping diners catch and weigh fish when he was stopped by the shopkeeper Zhang who was carrying a gift. He had a big smile on his face and walked over briskly with his plump figure, his white teeth dazzling.
Logically speaking, his friendship with Lin Mo was not very deep. He had only taken care of Lin Mo because of the request of Manager Li from the provincial capital. Their relationship was not close enough to the point where they could visit each other for gifts.
But Shopkeeper Li repeatedly told him that Lin Mo was no ordinary person and that he should make closer friends with him.
He didn't think so before, but now seeing the decoration of Lin Mo's shop, he has to look at it with admiration.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang. I troubled you to find the construction team before, but I didn't have time to treat you to a meal. Today I will treat you, Brother Zhang, please try the signature dishes of my restaurant."
Lin Mo took the gift from Manager Zhang, whispered a few words to Su Mu, and then took Manager Zhang to the private room on the second floor.
He didn't have any acquaintances in the town, except for the shopkeeper Zhang and Wang Baoren who helped introduce the shop.
He had invited these two people before opening the store. Wang Baoren had an important matter today, so he just asked someone to deliver the gifts.
"When I saw the blueprint of your house before, I thought it was novel and extraordinary. I didn't expect that your shop would be decorated so uniquely. Not to mention the food, just looking at your shop, I can't help but come in to take a look when I walk by the door." Shopkeeper Zhang admired while looking around.
Lin Mo smiled. The design of the shop was not complicated, and it was not worth mentioning compared to the Xinrui Restaurant.
The restaurant's buildings are all decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and are magnificent with gold and gold walls. From the windows and door railings to the eaves and walls, they are all carved with various patterns and designs, making them complex and gorgeous.
His shop was actually very ordinary. The reason why Manager Zhang thought it was outstanding was only because Lin Mo referred to the modern interior design.
It is unique in this place where all restaurants and shops are decorated in the same style.
"We don't have many featured dishes. This design allows diners to see how their dishes are prepared, and they feel more assured when eating."
More importantly, the fragrance spreads faster, which can also attract passers-by on the street.
Especially those diners who have ordered meals, they will be more eager to come in.
After going up to the second floor, Lin Mo led Manager Zhang into private room No. 1, where tea and appetizers were prepared in advance.
In the private rooms, appetizers are provided free of charge.
The two had just chatted for a few words when Lin Wu came in with pickled fish in a small bowl. In order to let Manager Zhang taste every dish, Lin Mo specifically ordered the portion to be reduced.
The second time he came up, Lin Wu was followed by Lin Wen and Tuanzi. The three of them were still breathing slightly after leaving the room. Looking at the wetness on their foreheads, Lin Mo frowned slightly.
It was busy downstairs, so it was rather troublesome to carry the dishes upstairs. He began to think about how to make it more convenient to deliver the dishes to the second floor.
Shopkeeper Zhang licked his lips and looked at the five dishes and two cold dishes on the table. His saliva secretion increased even more. Without waiting for Lin Mo's greeting, he began to eat with relish.
The more he ate, the more excited he became, his eyes were shining, and he even ate two more bowls of rice than usual.
