Chapter 23

It was announced yesterday when the stall closed, so as soon as Lin Yan's cart arrived, several regular customers rushed over.

Boss Ma was the first one. He walked around the cart and said with a smile, "This cart is really nice."

Some guests also pointed to the barbecue grill curiously and asked Lin Yan: "Brother Yan, what is this for?"

Lin Yan smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll know in a while."

Lin Adie was processing oysters and scallops, these two are the protagonists of today, and put the others aside.

His hands and feet are nimble, and his movements are clean and neat, which makes the guests around him feel comfortable.

While chatting with the guests, Lin Yan was lighting the stove, and the first plate was already on the table.

Mrs. Lin squeezed some lemon juice and pushed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan put all the oysters and scallops neatly on the grill, and soon heard the sizzling sound.

Boss Ma frowned, "Brother Yan, this stuff is very fishy. I added your chutney and chili sauce and it's still a bit fishy, but it's still much tastier than before."

Lin Yan smiled, "That's because the flavor of the sauce didn't fully penetrate into the meat."

No matter how good the taste of the sauce sold before was, it was only mixed after the food was cooked. The innermost layer of meat could not absorb the sauce, and the taste would be compromised.

Adding the sauce and grilling it in the process of making it like this is not the same.

After the oysters came out of the water, Lin Yan carefully picked them up and poured out the water, and then began to add the garlic chili sauce he made on top.

In this way, the sauce can fully seep into the meat after the water is controlled, and the oysters will not have a fishy smell.

After a while, there was a sizzling sound from the oven, and the strong aroma of garlic chili sauce was brought to every corner of Xishou Street by the breeze, and everyone immediately knew that Brother Yan was producing delicious food again.

Boss Ma immediately handed over his own bowl and said eagerly, "Let me taste it."

I didn't even ask the price in a hurry.

Lin Yan gave him one, and said with a smile, "You are a regular customer, so I will give you one for free."

Boss Ma didn't even bother to say thank you, he just took the spare chopsticks from Lin Yan's trolley, and ate an oyster in two or three mouthfuls.thumb.

"Okay, delicious, so delicious!"

Seeing his expression, the other regular customers rushed over immediately, and Lin Yan gave away one each, just in time to give away the whole first plate.

The spare chopsticks they brought were not enough, and some people stood by and waited for others to finish eating to give him their chopsticks. When others were slow to eat, they circled around to remind them. It was extremely lively.

Boss Ma sucked in the air, finally calmed down and moved closer, but his mouth was still speechless, which shows how hot it was just now.

Lin Yan knew the number of people in his family, so he asked tentatively, "Five?"

Boss Ma shook his head and said inarticulately, "Yes, I want ten."

A few customers who were still waiting for chopsticks were anxious, "Old Ma, you want ten chopsticks for each person, and the plate is all for you, and you don't want to leave some for us?"

Boss Ma glared at them, then turned around to wink at Lin Yan desperately, "Quick, ignore them, I'll come first."

Lin Yan's second pot has already come out, he picked up ten of them, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, there are a lot of things today, and there are still several buckets."

Hearing that there were still several barrels left, several anxious guests immediately stopped looking at Boss Ma.

"How much?"

"A small three-cent coin, a big five-cent coin."

All the previous ones were big ones, and Boss Ma readily paid fifty cents.

Most of the first wave of customers were not short of money. Like Boss Ma, they bought five or ten of them, and even the bigger ones.

The big and small customers who came later mixed up the purchases. After a few hours, the customers in front of the small carts never stopped.

Father Lin has been dealing with oysters and scallops. In addition to pouring lemon juice, Mrs. Lin has to tidy up, keep the trolley clean and tidy, and wash and put the chopsticks returned by the guests back. He is also responsible for collecting the money in the end..

Lin Yan never walked away from the grill from the beginning to the end, and was busy for several hours.

The whole street of Xishou Street was filled with the smell of barbecue, which attracted people from other streets.

In the afternoon, all the oysters and scallops were sold out, leaving only some miscellaneous clams and shrimps.

Lin Yan dug out the clam meat, filled a porcelain plate with shrimp and the like, put it on the barbecue grill and roasted it directly, then added the sauce and mixed it well.

After taking it out, I directly served it to Father Lin and Sister-in-law Lin, "Father, sister-in-law, don't be too busy, come and eat something."

Today was the busiest day since they were in business. They used to have time to eat something when they were selling sauces, but today they didn't have any free time.

Father Lin thumped his legs and said with a smile, "I've been squatting all morning, and I almost can't stand up."

Although he was complaining, the smile on his face was relaxed.

Mrs. Lin took off the cotton gloves from her hands, sat down on the stool tiredly, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "My arms are sore."

Lin Yan took three bowls, divided the items on the porcelain plate, handed them to them, and said with a smile, "I can buy more oysters and scallops tomorrow. Judging by today's situation, they should all be sold out."

Father Lin responded angrily.

Sister Lin also let out a long sigh of relief.

He was in charge of collecting the money, and no one knew better than him how much he had earned today. The bamboo basket under the trolley was heavy for money.

As long as the days get better and better, it's nothing to be so tired, and he can even be a little more tired.

Taking advantage of no one around, Lin Yan whispered while eating: "Sister-in-law, your wages will be doubled from today, 40 Wen per day."

The bowl in Sister Lin's hand was almost frightened. Brother Lin worked in the salt workshop from early to late every day for only ten yuan. He followed Yan brother and only worked for a few hours a day, and he could get forty yuan?

And he just helped with some chores, which were many times lighter than Brother Lin's physical work.

"Brother Yan, the twenty Wen you gave earlier is already a lot, and I didn't do anything, how can I get you so much money?"

Father Lin was inconvenient to speak, so he just listened.

"Sister-in-law who doesn't have much, I came here according to the division of labor. You should get so much for doing so much work. Besides, don't you still have to send Hai Bei and Haike to study? Saving more money now will make it easier in the future."

Studying in this era still costs a lot of money, especially related to the imperial examination, and a printed book costs a tael of silver casually.

It's not counted as a bundle repair for the teacher.

This is also the reason why the commentary written by Zhang Moyuan was so expensive.

An annotation book can be worth dozens of lessons for a teacher.

Save money and time.

Zhang Moyuan is not here recently, and the students in the town are looking forward to his return every day.

Mrs. Lin stopped talking when she heard this, and just nodded gratefully.

Father Lin continued to eat what was in his bowl.

After today, Lin Yan has really become famous on Xishou Street. After all, as long as he is on Xishou Street today, even if he is just passing by, who hasn't tasted the aroma of barbecue?

This is not comparable to the sauce at all.

Of course, some caring people took note of Lin Yan's recipe and bought garlic chili sauce and planned to make it themselves.As if by magic.

In the end, had no choice but to give up.

In fact, Lin Yan thought about this before, so he specially changed the recipe of garlic chili sauce, today's one is more suitable for barbecue.

When Boss Jiang delivered the barbecue stove to Lin Yan, he said that he wanted to try Lin Yan's craftsmanship, but he was too busy today, so he arrived when Lin Yan was about to close the stall.

However, he only wanted to make friends with Lin Yan, so he didn't expect much from eating.Moreover, his family's conditions are among the best in Yanhai County. He grew up eating good food since he was a child, and he is very picky about his taste.

"Brother Yan, I heard you made a big fuss today."

Boss Jiang has a loud voice, and he arrives before the voice arrives.

Lin Yan smiled regretfully, "Boss Jiang, you are late, we are almost closing the stall."

"It's okay, I'll just have a taste."

Lin Yan put the rest of the ingredients into a porcelain plate, similar to what he made for himself just now, and mixed it with garlic and chili sauce, and the plate was full.

Boss Jiang took it, although he had a smile on his face, but he was actually a little worried.

This is too much, if you can't finish it, you will be unable to get down.

He really just wanted to have a bite.

After Lin Yan handed him the plate, he continued to tidy up his things, instead of staring at him expectantly like ordinary people.

Boss Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a mouthful of the shrimp first, chewed it casually a couple of times, and then he was stunned.

This taste is too special.

Boss Jiang picked up something else and took another big mouthful. The delicious and spicy feeling immediately filled his mouth.

Before he knew it, Boss Jiang ate up the whole plate with a sullen head, and even had some more to say.

"Brother Yan, you sold out all of them today?"

"Yeah, come early tomorrow, and I'll leave oysters and scallops for you."

Boss Jiang's eyes were in a daze, it was so fragrant, just as he was aroused, Lin Yan told him that there was no more.

This is completely different from what he imagined before coming here.

How can there be such a wonderful taste?

No wonder a few old friends who went to his place today kept talking about how delicious it was, and he thought it was a rare thing for them.

Be sure to come early tomorrow to try the taste of the oysters.

Lin Yan didn't know that Boss Jiang had gone through such complicated psychological changes. He and Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin, left the cart at Boss Ma's house, and the three of them went home.

Lin Yan roughly estimated the money in hand, and said with a smile: "In a few days, we can go to the town to buy a shop."

Father Lin nodded with a smile. In the past, he would never have dreamed of such a thing, but now it seems to be within reach.

Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "Brother Yan, after you buy a shop, can I still work for you?"

After Lin Yan bought the shop, Aunt Lin and Lin Yan would naturally move there together, and then only he would need to go back and forth every day.

Leaving aside the money for renting an ox cart, his elder brother is always a little uneasy going back and forth every day. He believes that if he asks, Lin Yan will definitely agree to let him move there too, but he is worried about Hai Bei and Haike.And Brother Lin.

Knowing his concerns, Lin Yan suggested, "Why don't you let the elder brother come with you? Just give him some of Dad's work, and I'll give him twenty cents a day."

"When the second brother and the third brother come back, we will sell more things. At that time, if they want to, they can also come together. I will send them 20 Wen."

Father Lin suddenly didn't know what to say. In fact, he had already had such an idea. After all, he was born by himself, but he was too embarrassed to tell Lin Yan.

Now that Lin Yan proposed it on his own initiative, he was moved and felt that he owed Lin Yan.

Sister Lin was overjoyed, "Brother Yan, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Hai Bei and Haike will also go together, but we will have the fields after Zhang Moyuan comes back, and we have to come back to see the fields from time to time."

"Yes, you are right, we have a field, we..."

Mrs. Lin was so happy that she began to speak incoherently.

Lin Yan sorted out the order, "After we plant the fields, we will go to the town to rent a shop, and usually let the three brothers go back a few more times to take care of them."

Of course, these fields also belonged to the three brothers. After all, after Zhang Moyuan finished the exam, they probably would either stay in Capital City or be sent out. It was impossible to stay in Yanhai County.

I don't know if Zhang Moyuan is going well or not.
