Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Just eat...
However, as Lin Jing was eating, he felt something was wrong. Although the fried pork intestines were still as delicious as before, the people next to him were eating too much, right?
I saw Zhu Laosi sitting at the table next to me, while eating, he praised Su Li who was not far away,
"Madam Su, your pickled fish is amazing! How did you make it so delicious?"
"The fish is sliced too thin."
“And it doesn’t smell fishy at all.”
Among the people who were talking was an old customer, Zhu Laosi. Zhu Laosi had been coming to Su Li's place to eat every few days recently, and he seemed to have given up. Before this, he had planned to save some money to marry a caring wife, but after seeing too many wives from the same village who worked hard as him take away all the family property, he no longer wanted to get married.
You have to know that he is almost thirty years old this year. His parents are both dead, and he is the only one left at home. It would be better to spend all the money on himself than to give it to others. At least he can benefit from it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Laosi completely let go of everything. Every day after work, he would buy some wine and snacks to take home. His life became more and more colorful.
Is it really that delicious? Lin Jing looked at the diners praising the food with some suspicion, and his interest was also piqued.
You should know that his greatest hobby in life is eating. He has been like this since he was a child. He can't walk when he hears about delicious food. For this reason, he was not beaten by his parents when he was a child.
In the end, Lin Jing couldn't help it and stood up and walked to Su Li's food stall.
"Miss Su, give me a serving of this pickled fish."
After saying that, Lin Jing took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to Su Tao who was collecting the money next to him.
"Okay, wait a moment, Mr. Lin, I'll give it to you as soon as I finish typing it."
"Okay." Lin Jing naturally agreed and stood aside, but his eyes were always looking at the pickled fish.
It looked really good. Lin Jing nodded secretly in his heart, and the moment he got it, he took it away without caring whether it was hot or not.
"Hey, guest, here's your money." Su Tao had just calculated how much money she should give as change, but she never expected that the other party would just run away with the food, completely forgetting about the money.
"Save it. I'll come back to eat it next time." Lin Jing said indifferently. He would definitely come back to eat it in the next few days anyway. It would be a matter of eating a few more meals.
Su Tao didn't know what to do, so she looked at Su Li. Only after she saw Su Li nod did she accept the silver.
Su Li expressed a good acceptance of the guests' willingness to deposit money here. After all, nowadays, almost all large restaurants will have guests deposit money in advance, which shows that the guests who come to eat like and trust the chef and the restaurant.
But I still have to buy some paper to write it down later, otherwise it will be easy to forget when there are so many people around.
Su Li was getting her meal here, and Lin Jing was starting to eat his lunch on the other side.
To be honest, this pickled fish doesn't look particularly strange when you look closely. On the contrary, it is quite appetizing because of the embellishment of red peppers and green peppercorns. Especially the thinly sliced fish slices floating in it are crystal clear and look very tender. Sure enough, the fish slices almost broke when Lin Jing picked up the chopsticks. At the critical moment, he quickly put it into his mouth.
It was indeed tender, very tender and smooth, with the fish skin having a slightly burnt aroma, and the fish meat melted in the mouth as soon as it touched the teeth. The pickled cabbage inside was the icing on the cake, sour and refreshing, and especially good with rice. It was delicious, unexpectedly delicious, and the most important thing was that it was just as the people at the next table said, not fishy at all, without the smell of fish, unlike the one made by his family's chef, which had a strong earthy smell, but his father still thought it was delicious.
Lin Jing nodded while eating. It was really good. He should let his father try it too. He loved fish the most.
Thinking of this, Lin Jing made up his mind to bring one copy to his father when he had his ten-day holiday the day after tomorrow.
Really good!
.
"My dear, give me a portion of this meal."
Just as Lin Jing was enjoying his meal and sweating profusely, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears. Wasn't this the servant of Master Ji Feng who had declared at the county school that he would never eat such a cheap thing in his life? Why was he here?
Lin Jing put down his chopsticks instantly and pricked up his ears, wanting to hear clearly what the other party was doing.
"Sir, we have added pickled fish today. Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish are only 15 cents. Would you like to try it?" Su Li smiled and recommended the new dish pickled fish to the guests who came every day recently.
Upon hearing this, the servant nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, give me two of each."
The young master has one share! There is nothing bad left.
"I wonder what our customers think of the food recently? Are they satisfied?" Su Li was conducting customer research while filling his food. Although almost all customers who had eaten here said that the food was delicious, there were always some areas that were not done well enough. If the business wanted to last long, it was very important to listen to the opinions of customers.
"Yes, our young master likes your food very much." The servant boy looked at the food Su Li packed and swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself, he does too, otherwise he wouldn't have come to buy it for several days in a row.
"As long as you like it."
"The guests are ready."
Just as the servant took the food box and prepared to leave, a voice suddenly came.
"Ji Feng."
Young Master?
Where is he? The book boy looked around for a moment. It shouldn't be like this. How could the young master come here?
However, the next second, the servant saw Lin Jing not far away, who looked like a big rat hiding in a dark corner. His face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly ran back with his lunch box.
Oh no, why is this person here?! Shouldn’t he be at the county school?
A thousand emotions flashed through the book boy's mind.
It's over now. I was seen by the young master's classmates. It's over. This is a matter of face. The young master will definitely be angry when he finds out!
The book boy looked quite disheveled in the wind, even his steps were a little unsteady.
Seeing the other party fleeing in panic, Lin Jing was in high spirits. He had discovered a major secret, a secret that could expose Ji Feng, the hypocrite!!!
No, he has to eat quickly and go back to tell his good brother Liu Yan, hahahahahahahahaha.
Su Li didn't know what was happening on Lin Jing's side. She had just finished the busiest period and was about to help her mother Chen wash the dishes, but soon another guest arrived.
"My dear lady, I want a portion of this meal."
The visitor was a regular customer from the past few days. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of open-toed straw sandals, the most common outfit for laborers these days. Su Li did not treat him differently based on his status or attire. She said gently, "We have pickled fish today. Would you like to try it?"
"No thanks." The man shook his head. He traveled back and forth on cargo ships all year round, and the thing he ate the most was fish. There were all kinds of fish, fish soup, dried fish, salted fish, and cured fish. He was really tired of it.
Su Li didn't force him to do so, so she poured him a bowl full of food. Especially after hearing that he was going to sail north again in the afternoon, Su Li even poured him some extra pig intestines. "Then I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you." The man took the meal, said thank you, and then slowly took the meal to the table beside him. His back was slightly hunched because of years of doing heavy work. Although he was only in his early 40s, he looked like he was in his 50s.
I saw him put the chopsticks in his hand on the table and align them, then he started to eat.
Like other poor laborers, the man ate very quickly and wolfed down a large bowl of rice in a short while.
After he finished eating, he burped heavily, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Let's go, little lady."
The man said goodbye and left without looking back.
He was like a ship that docked briefly at the pier, coming and going in a hurry. He was more like a stone thrown into the lake, disappearing with just a splash.
Su Li looked at the man's back. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable melancholy in her heart, as if it was because of the sudden separation, or perhaps because of something else.
But she quickly put this strange and inexplicable feeling behind her and plunged into a new round of busyness.
"Are they all sold out?"
Chen looked at the empty wooden barrels and several ceramic basins, still a little bit unbelieving. When she came here, she was worried whether she could sell so many, and was still thinking about what to do if she couldn't sell them. She didn't expect that so many of them were sold out!
Very good!
"Fifth sister, so much silver." Su Tao strung the last string of copper coins, her eyes shining brightly.
Su Li was also very happy. As she packed up her things, she said, "Have you counted them?"
"I've counted it clearly. It's a total of 386 coins." Su Tao said proudly. She finally counted it clearly this time, unlike before when she couldn't count it after a long time. However, counting it clearly is one thing. When encountering complicated situations, such as 50 coins giving 35 coins, she still didn't know how to give the change.
Unlike the fifth sister, who used addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, she figured it out in one go.
"That's amazing." Su Li praised generously. During this period of time, Su Li specially trained her fourth sister Su Tao and her mother Chen to take turns collecting money while she went to get food. Although the progress was not obvious at the moment, fortunately there was still progress.
One day, the two of them should be able to learn it! That way, she would be relieved. She wouldn't need to hire a special accountant when she opened a restaurant later. Especially for things like money, it's better to hand it over to your family than to anyone else.
"Okay, let's go home."
"good."
"Let's go home!"
At this time, Su's father, who had gone to buy two pounds of pork and a jar of wine, also hurried to Lijia Village.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
At the entrance of the village, a woman saw that Su's father looked unfamiliar and spoke cautiously.
Father Su had to stop and explain,
"I am Li Chunsheng's father-in-law, and I'm here to see my daughter Su Hong."
It turned out to be Li Dalang's father-in-law. The woman showed a look of realization, and then she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her expression became a little strange.
She glanced at what Father Su was holding and said, "They should be out working in the fields now. Aunt Lian should be at home."
Lian Gu is Su Hong's eldest daughter and also Su's father's granddaughter.
Father Su thanked him and then headed towards Li's house.
But as soon as he left, the women started talking at once.
"Didn't they say her father and two brothers were dead?"
"Who told you that?"
"Everyone said that, I thought it was true!"
"No, who said he was dead?"
"If he hadn't died, would he have let his daughter be bullied like that by her in-laws?"
…
"I heard that the family is a military household, and my father and two younger brothers are away from home all year round."
"So that's how it is."
"No wonder."
