    "Auntie, Aunt Hua did it."

    That Aunt Hua wanted to learn how to make fish curd last night, it must be because they didn't teach, so she made a fool of herself.

    As Chen Nianguan said, he was about to go to Aunt Hua for an explanation, but was caught by Mrs. Liu: "Mother, people are bullying us, can you bear it?"

    "It's not Ren, you said Aunt Hua did it, and you saw her do it with your own eyes? Even if you find her out, will she admit it?" Liu Shi asked.

    "Who else is it if it's not her?" Chen Nianguan was so angry that he couldn't control himself. He yelled loudly, disturbing the residents on the other side of the house, and one of the brothers pushed open the window and shouted at them: "Fucking!"Is it over? I finally came back to sleep, you women are noisy here and there, you really think you are at your own home?"

    Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi fell silent.

    Sister-in-law Wang and Brother Wang next door were also alarmed. They came out and touched this place. They were still puzzled at first, but when they saw the mess on the ground, they immediately understood. Sister-in-law Wang scolded in a low voice: "You've been paid a thousand dollars! Are you all right?"

    Mrs. Liu shook her head, grabbed Chen Nianguan and returned to the room.

    "Aniang, sister, what's the matter with you?" Xuan Xuan also woke up, lying on the couch rubbing her eyes and asking.

    "It's okay. Xuan Xuan, you continue to sleep!" Mrs. Liu comforted Xuan Xuan, and then pulled Chen Nianguan to sit on the couch.

    The public kitchen is unusable, and the earthen stove that was built just now is gone, and I am afraid that we will not be able to sell it today.

    The two mother and daughter sat there dumbfounded, listening to the workers from the construction site getting up and coming out to wash up one after another, and the aroma of morning food wafting from the kitchen, they slowly came back to their senses.

    "Wan Wan, how much money have we saved these days?" Liu Shi was the first to recover and asked.

    "Four hundred and sixty-eight coins."

    "Shall we change places?" Liu said with a faint sigh.

    They were the latest tenants to move in in this complex. At the beginning, they decided to live because they saw that the security of Shitou Lane was good, the wing room was enough to live in, and eighty yuan a month was considered cheap.

    It is not without bumps and bumps in the usual time, so Renren passed.

    But it was the first time that it was as serious as today.

    The job they found with great difficulty, they can't really stop doing it just because someone in the courtyard house they live in doesn't allow them to continue doing it, right?

    It's not allowed here, so go find a place that allows it.

    Chen Nianguan didn't say a word.

    Four hundred and sixty-eight coins is still far from the money it would cost to rent an independent courtyard for my family to live in.

    When Yuan was looking at houses with Mrs. Liu, he knew that when looking for tenants, the landlord usually likes to find tenants for more than three months before closing the lease.

    If we look for a shared courtyard house like now, how do we know that we won’t meet people like Aunt Hua in the newly rented place?

    "Aniang, I'll go to the dental store and ask for an independent yard that can be rented for two months first." Chen Nianguan quickly made up his mind, "Yes, we have worked hard for two months, and maybe we can earn another six months' rent.Money and silver."

    "I think so too, Aunt." Shi Liu nodded, "Today we will go to see the house."

    Having made up his mind, Chen Nianguan recovered from the blow and got up to wash up, "But I have to go to Yueman Building first and tell them, lest shopkeeper Yang think that I have withdrew my confession for no reason."

    "I'm also going to tell the noodle stall on the pier that I can't sell their fish curd recently."

    In Yueman Building, Shi Cunqi and shopkeeper Yang saw that Chen Nianguan appeared empty-handed today, and he was puzzled. When he heard that because he was looking for a new place to live, he might not be able to supply fish curd for a few days, so he didn't pursue it: "SinceMiss Chen is not doing business today, so how about I invite Miss Chen to try our Yuemanlou special dishes?" Shi Cunqi sincerely invited.

    Chen Nianguan couldn't make excuses, besides, she was still young in traveling and hadn't tasted the dishes made by well-known restaurants in this era.

    Even the original body has never dined in a tall restaurant like Yueman Building, let alone chicken, duck, goose and fish, and he can only taste a bite or two during the Chinese New Year.

    So Chen Nianguan immediately agreed.

    Not to mention, the cooks of this era, or those who can cook in Yueman Building, still have two brushes.

    Dishes aimed at high-end diners were served, and they were delicious in color, fragrance, and there was a dish of squirrel mandarin fish, which was probably specially prepared for her.

    Sure enough, as soon as the dishes were served, Shi Cunqi asked Chen Nianguan to taste the mandarin fish.

    Chen Nianguan tried as he said.

    "How, is it on par with your golden chrysanthemum fish?"

    Chen Nianguan nodded.

    Both are kung fu dishes, which are reflected in knife skills, and there are naturally similarities between the two.

    In this squirrel mandarin fish dish, the fish is well fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour with a salty aroma. The chef has mastered the fire of the fish very well.

    The biggest difference between her golden chrysanthemum fish and this dish is the sauce.

    The sauce used by the squirrel mandarin fish is still the traditional sweet and sour garlic. The sauce she made is prepared with various spices and is spicy.

    To be fair, as far as taste is concerned, each has its own advantages, and it is not that she, who has lived an extra life and has an additional period of five thousand years of historical knowledge, has the advantage.

    Looking at other high-end delicacies that are appetizing at first glance, Chen Nianguan can only sigh in his heart that he is indeed a wise ancient, and the level of modern chefs is not far behind.

    The only thing that can't be compared is the lack of ingredients that have not yet been released and the knowledge of spices.

    In terms of the existing vegetables, fruits, meat and condiments, the masters of the catering industry in this era have already brought their cooking skills into full play.

    "To tell you the truth, Miss Chen, the golden chrysanthemum fish that you brought over for Hexi yesterday is actually very popular with diners." Shi Cunqi said.

    After the golden chrysanthemum fish was delivered to the second-floor dining room yesterday, after the eight small portions were sold out, the diners who had eaten asked if they could serve the whole dish, and the diners who had not eaten asked if there was any more, and when will the new dish be officially served?.

    It can be seen that this golden chrysanthemum fish is not impossible.

    Not only can it be made in Funing County, but also every branch can serve this new dish.

    Therefore, Shi Cunqi wanted to include golden chrysanthemum fish in the menu of Yueman Building, and proposed to cooperate with Chen Nianguan.

    "Cooperation?" Chen Nianguan had a hunch that luck was coming. Is this Shi Cunqi planning to give him money?

    "I want to buy Miss Chen's sauce recipe." Shi Cunqi said straight to the point.

    "Isn't it made by golden chrysanthemum fish?" Chen Nianguan was surprised.

    Shi Cunqi shook his head with a smile, and nodded to shopkeeper Yang, who pointed to a waiter with his eyes, and after a while, the waiter came back, holding two freshly fried golden chrysanthemum fish in his hands.

    Chen Nianguan took a look and was shocked.

    Even if the knife skills of golden chrysanthemum fish and squirrel mandarin fish are similar, this cook has realized the essence too quickly, right?

    The fried golden chrysanthemum fish is golden and bright, with distinct petals, which is much more beautiful than fried by myself.

    No wonder this shop only buys the sauce.

    Chen Nianguan was embarrassed, like an apprentice who was not good at cooking and wanted to make a big axe when he was caught and showed his prototype.

    It's not impossible to only buy the sauce recipe, after all, it's what I'm best at, so it's worth it.

    "Then, how do Shi Dong's family want to buy it?"

    "Two taels of silver. This sauce recipe belongs to our Yueman Building, and Ms. Chen is not allowed to sell it to others."

    Buy out two or two.

    For Chen Nianguan, who is struggling to find a place to move now, the two taels of money are like a blessing in disguise.

    With these two taels of silver, you can find a single-family house that can be rented for at least four months.

    Chen Nianguan suppressed his inner excitement, tilted his head and pretended to think about it, hesitated, "But, it took me a long time to develop that sauce exclusively, and no one else can crack it. If you buy it, it will be the only one in the world."Yes, buying out for two taels of silver, isn't the price too low?"

    "Then Miss Chen thinks how much money is reasonable?"

    "Five taels." Chen Nianguan blurted out.

    Five taels, she can rent a house for a year.

    "It's not like that, Ms. Chen will also sell the fish curd recipe to our Yueman Building." Shi Cunqi said again, "We are willing to pay twenty-five taels directly, how about it?"

    It was also yesterday that Shi Cunqi came up with the idea after giving away 60 pieces of fish rot to diners for free, seeing the popularity and the unlimited business opportunities.

    Twenty-five taels of silver?A huge sum of money fell from the sky.

    Chen Nianguan was knocked unconscious, and it took him a while to recover.

    This fish rot is no better than lotus fish, and the cook can easily figure out how to fry it.

    There are also skills in how to process the minced fish to remove the fishy smell, and how to deep-fry it so that the outer layer is as thin as a cicada's wings and the inner is tender and sweet.

    Moreover, fish curd can be made into more than one dish. Twenty taels is equivalent to buying at least four or five dishes, which is a good deal.

    This Shi Cunqi had asked himself how to make fish rot into dishes before, obviously he wanted to buy it because he knew the prospect of this fish rot, but he only said to buy fish rot frying method instead of fish rot dishes, Chen????? Nian Wan secretly said something cunning.

    "Shi Dong's family, twenty taels of silver is too low, it is impossible to buy out the prescription of fish curd."

    "The fish curd market is huge, and we, Yueman Building, may not be able to eat all of it, and it is interesting for everyone to make money together." Shi Cunqi said, "We only buy fish curd, and Ms. Chen can continue to manage fish curd., we, Yueman Building, will not interfere. There is only one requirement. If Ms. Chen sells fried fish curd recipes to restaurant colleagues in the future, she must declare in the contract that she is not allowed to sell fish curd in the cities and counties where Yueman Building has opened branches..”

    I heard that Shi Cunqi did not directly cut off their business of selling fish rot, and then thought that it would take at least half a year for her and Liu to get up in the dark every day to stomp the fish meat and fried fish paste.When it was twenty-two, she nodded without much hesitation, and agreed to teach the chefs how to make sauce and fried fish curd in Yueman Building later.

    When Chen Nianguan walked out of the restaurant with the contract signed with Yueman Building and 25 Liang, he was in a state of confusion, not knowing what year it is.

    "Wan Wan?"

    Mrs. Liu, who came from the pier and waited for a long time, saw Chen Nianguan's expression was not right, and when she went out, she didn't know her own mother, so she was anxious, "What's wrong with you?"

    When Chen Nianguan was called by Mrs. Liu, he woke up from the great joy and held onto Mrs. Liu's hand tightly: "Mother, we have money!"

    On the way to find the tooth shop, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed when she heard Chen Nianguan whisper about the adventure in Yueman Building, "That means we can look at a better house and move?"

    More than a little better.

    Chen Nianguan thinks it is no problem to rent a more refined courtyard.

    Considering that we have to calculate the amortized cost in the future, we still restrained a lot.

    Wealth does not reveal wealth, calm down, calm down.

    I found a dental shop and told the manager of the dental shop my requirements. First, the annual rent of the house should be controlled at 4 taels; second, the location should be safe;

    After all, it is fear of neighbors like Aunt Hua, and now those who are willing to spend a lot of money to live in their own houses are worry-free.

    They don't want to work hard to make a living, and they have to be on guard against someone who will deliberately do things wrong.

    I gave the middle money, and followed the dentist to look at the house on the first day, but didn't like it.

    With money in hand, confidence, and not planning to open a stall recently, Chen Nianguan is not in a hurry. He returned to the courtyard house in Shitou Lane before dark. He didn’t plan to cook in the kitchen.Cook dinner, so that the mother and daughter are all shiny.

    After looking forward to the future life after moving for a while, the mother and daughter fell asleep one after another full of expectations.

    Stay until the second day and the third day, and continue to look at the house.

    Aunt Hua saw that Liu Shi and Chen Nianguan were not doing business and staying at home, as if they were going out every day to make a living, and smiled slyly behind her back.

    That is, they all live in a large courtyard, so why do they make so much money and not bring everyone together to make a fortune?

    Either be good together, or be bad together.

    If you have the ability, don't live here to be an eyesore!
