The other five families in the courtyard hadn't started cooking yet, so Chen Nianguan used the kitchen first.

Seeing that both Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan are skinny, there should be nothing delicious on weekdays, so Chen Nianguan lavishly cooked white rice, made golden chrysanthemum fish, and also used the leftover fish head and bone minced meat to make soup, less tofu, add leftover fish curd into it.

When cooking the sauce of golden chrysanthemum fish, the rich sweet and sour aroma came out of the kitchen and permeated the entire courtyard. Many people couldn't help but went out when they smelled it, and came directly to the kitchen. They happened to see Chen NianGuan received the sauce and poured the sauce on the deep-fried golden chrysanthemum fish.

"Hey, Miss Chen Si, what kind of food are you cooking? It looks delicious!"

"That's right, Chen Si, when did you cook so well?"

"Give us a taste!"

It was Aunt Hua who came over from Wenxiang who said she wanted to taste this. She looked at the dinner made by Mrs. Chen Sansao's house. Not only did she have this dish, but there was also a crock pot of fish soup smelling on the stove, and she swallowed it greedily.Taking a mouthful of saliva, he stretched out his hand to catch the golden chrysanthemum fish, but Chen Nianguan quickly blocked it.

"Everyone knows, I was injured earlier, and the injury hasn't healed yet, it's all for my body." Chen Nianguan looked at the neighbors around the kitchen apologetically: "And my mother, this paragraphEveryone is watching how the day is going, there is just this little food, even if it is left for A Niang and Xuan Xuan, I am afraid it will not be enough, so I will not greet everyone."

"Hey, why is it not enough? Didn't you bring so many things back today? There are two buckets of fish alone. If you can't eat enough, why don't you bring out a few more to cook!" Aunt Hua smiled.Propose, "Am I right?"

"Aunt Hua, that's all our family's rations. Take it out and burn it for you to eat. Will our family eat northwest wind in the future?" Chen Nianguan asked bluntly, "I think Aunt Hua's family also has a lot of food in stock.Pork is not three catties but one catty, since everyone wants to eat it, then I don’t mind being in charge of cooking, Aunt Hua, why don’t you bring some pieces of meat to cook, am I right?”

The family background of the Hua family is considered good among the six families. On weekdays, when the Hua family cooks in turn, they can often smell the smell of meat.

Aunt Hua's complexion suddenly changed, and she looked at the others awkwardly, "Miss Chen Si, why are you talking like that?"

"I will talk as Auntie Hua talks." Chen Nianguan put the lid on the pot firmly, and he wanted to say something, but was pulled by his cuff by Mrs. Liu who came to pick up the vegetables, and then he closed his mouth.

"I'm sorry, we didn't cook enough dishes tonight! Let's do it next time, let's cook a few more next time, and let everyone have a try." Liu sent the neighbor away with a smile, and then told Chen NianWan Wan said: "Wan Wan, you..."

"Aunt Hua knew it was our dinner and wanted to take advantage of it." Chen Nianguan immediately stopped Liu from talking about himself.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk, let's eat first!" Mrs. Liu also knew Aunt Hua's temper, so she went to see what happened and didn't say anything.

That night, for the first time, the three sisters of the Chen family ate Xuanshi white rice, as well as sweet and sour, crispy and tender golden chrysanthemum fish.There is no slag left, and the fish bones are sucked clean before being discarded.

After eating and drinking, the mother and daughter lay on the couch, feeling that the days were so fulfilling for the first time.

Xuan Xuan became lively, chirping and chatting about the little things she did for the sister-in-law next door during Chen Nianguan's absence. Liu also smiled more, but there was still a lingering sadness in her eyes.

Waiting for Chen Nianguan to boil water to wash, when he came back, he saw Liu Shi was counting the food she had brought back, "Mother?"

"Wan Wan!" Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter in embarrassment, got up awkwardly, and sat on the couch, "Aniang has something to discuss with you."

Chen Nianguan wiped her wet hair, watched Liu's rough hands rubbing on her knees, and listened.

"You know, you were injured. Auntie gave a lot of money to Master Jingchen and entrusted them to take care of you. At home..." Liu felt it was hard to say, "After Aunt came back, she found a few more jobs.If I can earn a few more coins, at least, I can earn enough for next month's rent, so that our family will not be left without a place to live, but..."

Liu choked up, "My mother is useless, I can't earn much money, and seeing that I can't save enough for next month's rent, my mother thought, these fish and rice, can I..."

Liu was ashamed to speak, but Chen Nianguan understood.

Because the rations brought back attracted people's envy, and Liu could not save enough for next month's rent, so he wanted to sell these rations for money.

"Aniang, just right, I have something to discuss with you." Chen Nianguan sat on the couch and asked, "Aniang, do you think today's fish curd and chrysanthemum fish are delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious." Mrs. Liu nodded, relieved, "Our family's Wan Wan turned out to be talented in cooking. My mother didn't know it before."

"If I make fish curd and sell it, do you think I can sell it?"

"Sell?" Mrs. Liu was stunned, and after a while she came to her senses, "Sell it?"

Chen Nianguan nodded.

"To whom?"

"Those businesses on the wharf????? Foot merchants and boat passengers, or restaurants in the county." Chen Nianguan knew that in order to make a living, he had to win the support of the Liu family, and he had to persuade the Liu family to help him, soTell her exactly what you plan to do.

"Yes, but, what if it can't be sold?" What should I do?Liu Shi asked uncertainly.

If it can't be sold, it will not only waste the ingredients, but also lose the time to do other work.

"But if we don't do it, how do we know if we can sell it?" Chen Nianguan thought for a while, then went to take out the old purse that he kept from his original body, and poured out all the copper coins in it.

"A month's rent is 80 Wen, and the food in the house is enough for us to eat for a month. That is to say, for the next month, even if we don't do anything, we can still fill our stomachs." Chen Nianguan countedI gave 80 Wen to Liu, and collected the remaining copper coins, "We don't need to pay for the fish curds we sell, and the spices, salt and oil are also ready-made. There is no business, mother, let's try it?"

Liu's heart was moved by what Chen Nianguan said, but she never spoke.

"Aniang, at least a month, no, half a month, if we really can't make any money after half a month, let's find another way to survive, okay?"

Chen Nianguan knew that Mrs. Liu went out to do starching and washing, washing a large basin of more than ten pieces of clothes, and it took only one afternoon to wash, and she only earned about five yuan.

As for the embroidery work, a handkerchief costs a penny, and a purse costs five pennies. It can't be done in a day. How can she make more money than she expected selling fish curd now?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, the fish curd made by Wanwan is really delicious, so I believe in Wanwan!"Liu couldn't help but want to believe it.

"That's great." Chen Nian smiled, "I knew Auntie would agree."

That night, the mother and daughter who had something to worry about didn't fall asleep, so Yinshi got up, took a fish out of the wooden basin under the bright sky, and took it to the kitchen to deal with it.

Fish rot is easy to deal with in the later stage, but it takes the most effort to beat the fish meat into fish paste and egg liquid.

So at the stage of beating fish meat and egg liquid, Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi took turns. It took nearly half an hour to finally successfully beat the fish paste and egg liquid.Put the prepared fish paste into the hot oil.

In fact, a dace weighing more than two catties can only be fried with fifty wrinkled fish rot.

After the ratio is adjusted, use all the fish meat, at least more than 300 can be fried.

Fish rot is currently a rare item, but if it is sold in large quantities at the beginning, it will not be sold at a high price.

What's more, considering that if this fish rot becomes popular in the future, it is inevitable that someone will crack the method. After someone else develops it, it will one day go on the road of selling it by the catty.

When Hyundai went to help her cousin's restaurant, she knew that every time a restaurant launched a new dish, other restaurants in the city would follow suit and launch similar new dishes.

This is the normal state of competition in the industry.

But at present, Chen Nianguan is the only one, and she wants to seize the opportunity to control the number and deliberately reduce the number.

However, today she intends to give away free samples to see the market, so she still made about 150 minced fish, and used all the remaining fish meat to make soup.

By the time today's fish curd was almost finished frying, the sky had already begun to light up. Just like last night, other people in the courtyard who had to go to work got up one after another. Some came to smell the aroma to watch the excitement, and some got up early to come to the kitchen for breakfast.Yes, all staring at Chen Nianguan mother and daughter.

This is the bad thing about living in a large courtyard. What you do will always be noticed by your neighbors, and you have to face the discussions of three aunts and six wives.

Mrs. Liu heard her daughter talk about the selling price of the fish rot, and thought that there were so many coins full of copper coins in front of her, and she would not accept the money and give it away, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

But Mrs. Liu is not a short-sighted person, and Chen Nianguan also explained clearly the publicity effect that giving away food can bring, so despite the pain, Mrs. Liu has no objection to this practice.

While helping her daughter pack the fish curd, seeing that there were still so many fish curds, she couldn't help but said, "Wan Wan, since no money is charged for this fish curd today, can you give it to everyone in the yard to try it?"

Chen Nianguan didn't say anything.

"Wan Wan, after all, we all live in the same place. If we don't look up and look down, we can get some food and have a better relationship with everyone. When we use this common room in the future, they will say less unpleasant things."

Chen Nianguan nodded: "Ma'am, you can do whatever you want?"

In the courtyard, besides the Chen family, the Wang family and the Hua family, there are six members of the Lu family who rent the main room and the east wing, an old couple in the east wing, and a pair of brothers in the inverted room.

Mrs. Liu gave each family a bowl of four fish curds, so twenty of them went.

The remaining 120 pieces, besides the ones that Liu brought to the pier to deliver for tasting, Chen Nianguan kept 35 pieces, packed them in oiled paper five by one, and put them in the boxes that were cleaned and dried yesterday.The wooden barrel was filled with sauce again, and I drank a bowl of fish soup by myself and set off towards the food.

After leaving Stone Lane, when Liu Shi and Chen Nianguan separated, the mother and daughter encouraged each other.

"Wan Wan, do it well."

"Don't be afraid, mother, you can do it!"

After speaking, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Go to the right at the pier, and go to the left at the commercial area with many restaurants in the county.

Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi went their separate ways, one to the left and the other to the right.
