Snacks?
Xue Jingran and Manager Zhou's minds kept echoing with what Lin Yunchu had just said. Today's three new dishes were specially made to go with wine.
The two of them widened their eyes slightly, and were a little dazed for a moment. It was not that they didn't hear clearly, but they really couldn't follow Lin Yunchu's train of thought.
Didn’t she say we were going to try new dishes today? I didn’t expect her to say that these three new dishes were all good to go with alcohol.
No other restaurant would offer this, offering three side dishes in a row. Yipintang has never done this before, so they really had never thought of it.
The two were stunned for a while, looking at Lin Yunchu's serious face, which did not seem like he was joking with them. Xue Jingran and Manager Zhou were both people who had seen a lot of ups and downs.
After calming down, they thought carefully about what Lin Yunchu said. They felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the three new dishes today.
After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, I thought that if it were a side dish for drinking, it would be really good.
“This…this…”
Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly stuttered, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lin Yunchu said. He turned around and looked at Xue Jingran.
At this moment, Xue Jingran seemed to have thought of something, and he actually saw a smile in the other person's eyes.
Shopkeeper Zhou immediately understood what his boss was thinking at the moment. He had been the shopkeeper of Yipin Pavilion for many years, so he naturally knew what Xue Jingran was thinking.
"Master Xue, Uncle Zhou, you've all tasted it just now. Don't you think these three dishes are the perfect accompaniment to wine?"
The restaurants in the town, including Yipintang, have a wide variety of dishes, but there are very few that can be eaten as both a meal and a side dish with wine.
Today's three new dishes are the most suitable. Lin Yunchu has made them twice at home in the past two days. Lin's father and Lin Qingshan enjoyed them very much and praised them repeatedly.
Even the youngest, Lin Changan, liked it very much. Before leaving for school this morning, he eagerly asked if these dishes would still be made in the evening.
Lin Yunchu looked at the two people in front of him without saying a word, and continued, "Although these snails are a little troublesome to eat, they taste great and are perfect as a side dish with wine."
The diners coming and going in this restaurant are of all kinds, and there are also many customers who like to drink.
The only suitable side dishes in the town's restaurants are fried peanuts and various small dishes. If Yipintang launches these side dishes, it will surely be very popular.
Lin Yunchu was still very confident, and this was unique to Yipintang. Even if other restaurants could find exactly the same ingredients, they would not be able to produce this taste.
Xue Jingran looked at Shopkeeper Zhou deeply. There was no need for him to say anything more, as Shopkeeper Zhou had already seen the meaning in his eyes.
In fact, there was no need for Lin Yunchu to say so much. The two of them were very satisfied with the three new dishes today. Even if they were not suitable for drinking, they were still very delicious with rice.
They were still savoring the taste after eating it, and they just wanted to try it again tomorrow.
"I think Miss Lin's idea is a good one!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was the first to indicate that Yipintang was doing a booming business. He not only thought the three new dishes tasted great, but the owner also looked extremely satisfied.
Xue Jingran's slender fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the teacup, then suddenly paused. "Okay, let's decide it this way."
Hearing Xue Jingran's words, Lin Yunchu curled his lips and started thinking about how to deal with the snail picking after returning.
Yipin Pavilion's business is booming, and there is a lot of demand. If they rely on their family alone to pick snails in the river, it will not work. Besides, the Lin family has a lot of things to do now, so they don't have enough manpower.
Moreover, the best season for picking snails is only these few months, and they will be gone once winter comes.
However, finding manpower is not a big deal. It is not the most important thing right now. I'll think about it slowly on the way back.
Now that the matter had been settled, Lin Yunchu then discussed the specific details with Xue Jingran and Manager Zhou.
These snails, sour bamboo shoots and bay leaves will keep the Lin family busy for a while.
Before leaving, Lin Yunchu asked Chuanzi to pack a meal for him, intending to bring it to Lu Yanzhou in the academy later.
After leaving Yipin Pavilion, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting did not dare to delay and headed straight towards the academy.
"This academy is really large and magnificent. It would be great if Chang'an could come here in the future."
Lin Changting stood at the gate of the academy, waiting for someone to come in and call Lu Yanzhou. Looking at the imposing gate in front of the academy, he couldn't help but sigh.
If the Lin family had not been so poor in the early years, he might have been able to go to school. But now I have found a good time, and it would be the same if I could come here to study.
Lin Changting had a look of anticipation on his face. He was the one who picked up and dropped off Lin Chang'an at school every day. The teacher praised his younger brother highly and believed that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and become a scholar in the future, bringing honor to the Lin family.
After hearing Lin Changting's words, Lin Yunchu curled up the corners of his mouth, chuckled softly, and responded in a good mood:
"Brother, this is easy. When Chang'an has learned enough from Master Li, we will send him to this academy. Like Brother Yanzhou, he will surely become a learned man in the future."
Lin Changan is currently only learning some basic things from Master Li in Lijia Village. If he wants to take the exam to become a scholar or even a juren in the future, he still has to come to the academy in the town.
She thought the academy where Lu Yanzhou was was quite good. She had heard from Brother Yanzhou that the teachers here were all from the Juren family. They were not only knowledgeable but also very humble.
Moreover, the Lin family now has the ability to send their younger brother to the academy in town, so she is not worried. Lin Changan is also studious and will consciously review his lessons and practice calligraphy after returning home every day.
Even when Lu Yanzhou went back last time and checked his homework, he praised him highly and said that Lin Changan was indeed a good student.
The two were talking excitedly when Lu Yanzhou, who was not far away, came hurriedly. When he saw the two people at the gate of the academy, he waved at them from a distance.
"Changting..."
After a while, he walked up to the two of them.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Yanzhou stopped and breathed heavily. It was obvious that he had been jogging all the way here.
"We're in town for something, so we might as well bring you something."
Lin Changting pulled Lu Yanzhou aside and let him rest for a while.
Lin Yunchu didn't say anything. He turned around and took the package and the food box he had just brought from Yipintang from the ox cart, and slowly walked towards Lu Yanzhou.
"These are the new shoes that Grandma Lu made for you, and the coat that Auntie made for you."
Lin Yunchu handed the cloth bag to Lu Yanzhou, and then handed over the food box in his hand.
