After buying the bed, Lin Yan dragged Zhao Shiyun toward North Street, intending to see if there was any meat he could use to make a new dish. Judging by the shop's recent business, the tofu and pork soup was rather bland and couldn't be used as a rice bowl, so not many people ordered it. Lin Yan was considering replacing it.
As soon as he reached the intersection, the unique smell of poultry from North Street mixed with the smell of feces hit his nose. Lin Yan covered his nose and looked around. This North Street had all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish and meat. There were also vendors selling wild game, and there were also many chicks and ducklings.
He certainly couldn't afford game, and it wasn't available every day. Lin Yan wanted to find a home-cooked meat dish. After a round of inspection, he stopped at a chicken stall. The owner was processing a freshly killed chicken with a pile of chicken offal next to him.
Lin Yan suddenly had an idea. He walked up and asked, "Boss, how much are you selling these chicken offal for?"
The boss looked up and saw a young man standing next to a tall man. He kept working and replied, "Ten coins for this pile." Pig offal is rarely eaten; it's mostly fed to dogs. Chicken offal is different. Farmers often kill chickens and use it for soup, so it can be sold at a price, but it's not too expensive. Restaurants also serve dishes made with chicken gizzards and chicken intestines.
Lin Yan estimated that there were about three pairs and planned to buy some to try. "I want them all."
Zhao Shiyun wisely took out ten coins and placed them on the stall. The stall owner found a small bucket to put the money in. Zhao Shiyun took it and said, "We have a shop on South Street. We'll bring the bucket back to you later."
The stall owner nodded and continued processing his chicken.
When he returned to the shop, he happened to meet the guy who delivered the bed. Lin Yan asked them to put the bed in the small room. Well, it was just the right size.
"Move the unused bedding over here tomorrow. Whoever is tired can rest here."
Li Yuemei and Yu Ge'er also thought it was feasible. After all, working for a whole day was quite tiring. They could take turns to rest and combine work and rest.
Lin Yan poured the chicken offal into his own bucket and asked Zhao Shiyun to return the bucket. Then they went home.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to cook with this chicken offal?" There are so many chicken offal, including gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken intestines, and chicken livers, and I don't know what Brother-in-law is going to cook.
"I'm going to make some spicy and sour chicken offal. Can you help me wash it?" Lin Yan replied as he cleaned the chicken offal. Yu Ge'er fetched a basin of water, and the two of them squatted in the yard to wash the chicken offal.
After cleaning the chicken offal, Lin Yan took it to the kitchen, cut the gizzards, chicken hearts and chicken livers into thin slices with a knife, cut the chicken intestines into sections, put them in a bowl, added some wine and ginger slices and marinated them.
Before the Lunar New Year, Lin Yan pickled some chilies, which were sour and spicy, perfect for stir-frying chicken giblets. You could also use pickled green beans, but we didn't have many at home. If I were testing a new dish for the shop, I wouldn't be able to sell it if I didn't have enough.
Lin Yan picked up two more pieces of pickled ginger and a few slices of pickled radish. He chopped the pickled pepper, cut the pickled ginger and pickled radish into small slices, minced the garlic, shredded the ginger, cut the scallions into sections, and chopped the red pepper.
The ingredients were almost ready, so Lin Yan asked Yu Ge'er to help him light the fire. He scooped a large spoonful of lard into the pot, heated the oil to 60%, put in the marinated chicken offal and stir-fried it until it changed color, then set aside.
Leave a little oil in the pan and add minced garlic, shredded ginger, pickled pepper, pickled ginger, and pickled radish slices. Stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the fried chicken giblets and continue stir-frying for a while. You can add the seasoning.
Add appropriate amount of soy sauce and salt, stir-fry evenly, finally sprinkle with red pepper and green onion, stir-fry for a while and then serve.
"A-choo~" Yu Ge'er sneezed non-stop due to the spiciness. Seeing the dish coming out of the pot, his eyes lit up, "Wow, Gefu, this smells sour and spicy, it should be especially good with rice!"
Lin Yan also felt his appetite was whetted, so he quickly stir-fried some vegetables and quickly invited everyone to eat.
The people working in the courtyard had long been tempted by the spicy and sour flavor, and they kept looking towards the kitchen. When they saw Yu Ge'er bringing out the dishes, they washed their hands and sat down. As soon as it was served on the table, the alluring aroma of spicy and sour chicken gizzards filled his nose. Zhao Shiyun couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and taste it. The crisp chicken gizzards, tender chicken liver, and the sour and spicy taste of pickled peppers and pickled radish were more than enough for him with just a bowl of rice!
The others also started to eat. Li Yuemei took a bite, her eyes full of surprise. "This dish is indeed very appetizing. If we add it to the menu of the shop, it will definitely attract a lot of customers."
Zhao Qiming also nodded in agreement, "Yes, the spiciness is just right, and the sourness is also very refreshing."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm planning to add it to the shop. I've observed over the past two days that this tofu and pork soup isn't selling very well, and it's not a good way to go with rice. How about we try this spicy and sour chicken dish instead?"
Yu Ge'er nodded vigorously while eating: "Okay, okay, I think it's very good."
"That's settled then." We still have two sets of chicken offal left. We'll fry some tomorrow to test the waters in the store. If it's popular, we'll officially replace the tofu and pork soup the day after tomorrow.
