As soon as the flower crab seafood congee was served, Bai Jingyang was on the verge of drooling. The delicious aroma drove him crazy.
The three people in the store saw Bai Jingyang closing his eyes and savoring the fragrance. They all silently drew a huge exclamation mark in their hearts. This young man's reaction was a bit exaggerated. But then again, it was not impossible. To avoid wasting the high - grade ingredients produced by the system, Yuan Tiantian first cooked the seafood congee in an electric rice cooker and then simmered it in batches in a clay pot, which increased the deliciousness by 10%. Coupled with the flower crab meat from the system, it was truly beyond compare.
They finished all the seafood congee in the electric rice cooker, not even a single grain of rice was left. However, Bai Ying was still not satisfied. Yuan Tiantian finally made him a large bowl of fragrant scallion fried rice. Although Bai Jingyang was already full, when he saw Bai Ying gobbling up the delicious fried rice, he still involuntarily swallowed his saliva. Seeing this, Bai Ying silently reached out his hand to block his rice bowl.
Don't even think about stealing food again!
Yuan Tiantian and Sheng Jing had gone to the vegetable market. Besides the main dish of flower crabs today, Yuan Tiantian also planned to use up all the rice field eels she bought before. So she bought a lot of Chinese chives and planned to make stir - fried rice field eel shreds with Chinese chives. She also bought some frozen whitebait to make a whitebait and rice field eel shreds soup. The vegetarian dish would be stir - fried eggs with Chinese chives. All these dishes were very good for going with rice today.
Back at the store, Yuan Tiantian was surprised to find that Bai Jingyang was still there. The latter noticed her confused look and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Hehe, I plan to go back after lunch."
Yuan Tiantian didn't say a word. For the breakfast this morning, Bai Jingyang insisted on giving her 100 yuan. He ate two large bowls. Yuan Tiantian didn't want to take the money at first, because this guy had accidentally brought her a lot of popularity points. But he refused to take no for an answer and said that 100 yuan was even too little. In the coastal areas, in the larger morning tea restaurants, you definitely couldn't buy this kind of top - quality seafood congee for 50 yuan a bowl.
Bai Jingyang was a rich second - generation. He knew the value. Although there was only crab meat in the seafood congee today, he could tell that the meat was no less than that of a king crab. Paying 50 yuan a bowl was really a great bargain for him.
"Help yourself then."
Yuan Tiantian didn't drive him away. It didn't matter if he stayed. Then she first printed out today's menu, and Sheng Jing took the list and directly replaced yesterday's menu on the dining tables. Bai Jingyang's eyes widened instantly when he saw today's menu. All the dishes today were his favorites!
Today's Menu: Fragrant scallion fried rice, 20 yuan per serving; White rice, 2 yuan per bowl; Stir - fried eggs with Chinese chives, 25 yuan per plate; Stir - fried rice field eel shreds with Chinese chives, 35 yuan per plate; Spicy and fragrant stir - fry (with crab as the base), 65 yuan per serving; Whitebait and rice field eel shreds soup, 45 yuan per serving; Lemonade, 35 yuan per cup.
"Little boss, is the crab in the spicy and fragrant stir - fry the same one I ate this morning?"
Yuan Tiantian was just carrying the bucket of rice field eels out of the kitchen. She had to deal with these live eels outside, otherwise the kitchen would be filled with a strong fishy smell. After hearing Bai Jingyang's question, Yuan Tiantian nodded. "Yes."
Just as she was about to leave, she was unexpectedly blocked by Bai Jingyang.
"Little boss, you're selling it too cheaply! This crab meat is really no worse than king crab meat. Raise the price!"
In Bai Jingyang's opinion, this spicy and fragrant stir - fry could be sold for about 100 yuan per serving without any problem. Yuan Tiantian laughed when she heard his words.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm not stupid."
Of course Yuan Tiantian wasn't stupid. The prices of some of these ingredients seemed like they should be higher. But Yuan Tiantian didn't want to set the prices too high and scare the customers away. Most of the small and medium - sized portions of these good ingredients were priced low. For example, although this spicy and fragrant stir - fried flower crabs was sold for 65 yuan, the normal price outside was about the same, and some were even more expensive. It seemed that the store was selling it cheaply, but she only provided a small portion, not the normal amount.
Yuan Tiantian had a clear idea about the distribution of ingredients and prices.
Sheng Jing came to help when Yuan Tiantian was dealing with the rice field eels. Soon, the last six jin of eels were all processed. Bai Ying was still sorting out the Chinese chives, and even Bai Jingyang came to help. Yuan Tiantian went into the kitchen and then called Sheng Jing in.
"I need to take out the flower crabs. You have to help me!"
Yuan Tiantian said nervously and in a low voice. Sheng Jing nodded. Yuan Tiantian took out two flower crabs one after another from the system warehouse, and Sheng Jing managed to subdue them all. Seeing them waving their claws wildly, Yuan Tiantian had to ask Sheng Jing to wash them and then cut them into small pieces. Yuan Tiantian weighed the two flower crabs in the end. They were about 50 jin!
Yuan Tiantian took out the remaining frozen flower crabs from yesterday and put most of the processed ones from today into the refrigerator. She couldn't use two and a half flower crabs at once. She had to use them in at least two batches.
At about 11 a.m., Yuan Jue, the old geological expert, came with his student and brought Yuan Tiantian the research report on the geological soil.
"Little boss, this soil is no good. It's not suitable for planting. Don't be deceived."
After the two sat down, Bai Ying heard it was about the soil testing. He also called Yuan Tiantian out of the kitchen. When Yuan Jue saw Yuan Tiantian, he reminded her that the soil was no good and not to be deceived into contracting the land. Yuan Tiantian smiled, took the test report, and then said to Yuan Jue and his student.
"Don't worry. I have it in mind."
Yuan Jue didn't know that Yuan Tiantian had already contracted the land. Seeing that she seemed to have taken his advice, he felt relieved. Then he took out a newspaper from his bag.
"Here. This is the food report published yesterday. My task is completed!"
After saying that, Yuan Jue cheerfully placed an order. Yuan Tiantian also saw a food exploration column in the lower left corner of the newspaper. Yuan Jue's article was on it, and the date of publication was yesterday. It seemed that Yuan Jue also contributed to yesterday's popularity points.
"Thank you."
After Yuan Tiantian thanked him, she went into the kitchen. Bai Jingyang and Yuan Jue were all ordering food. But after she went in, she made three glasses of lemonade and asked Sheng Jing to send them to the three of them. This was the final thank - you gift for yesterday's popularity points.
The sumptuous lunch was finally served on the tables of two groups of guests one after another. Today's dishes were really good for going with rice. Especially the spicy and fragrant stir - fry and the stir - fried rice field eel shreds with Chinese chives. One combined the spiciness and the freshness of the crab perfectly, and the other had the strong fragrance of Chinese chives, which really stimulated people's taste buds. In the end, both groups of guests ordered another serving of fragrant scallion fried rice!
"Teacher, eat less fried rice. Don't overeat your stomach!"
Yuan Jue's student was a bit worried when he saw his teacher filling his small bowl with another full bowl of fragrant scallion fried rice. The old man's stomach was not good. He didn't want his teacher to overeat.
"Don't worry. The little boss has Shuyang."
