Culinary Specialization through Farming

"How can a broken gourd be worth a meal, the boss is not a liar?"

The store doors were closed, and everyone else went back to rest. Agui brought Xiao Xin over, thinking that the boss was so gullible, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"A jug of wine is not too much for a meal."

Chen Yan was playing with the wine gourd, the gourd looked like it should be old, and it was full of wine, which seemed a bit heavy.

This was left by the man as a mortgage. Although Chen Yan didn't care about the ten copper coins, he was very curious that the man's cheerful temperament was actually mortgaged with a wine gourd.

Thinking about the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that the man said before leaving, Chen Yan was quite curious. The man only wanted to redeem the jug, so the wine was given to Chen Yan.

He uncorked and poured out some wine.

Clear without turbidity, pleasant fragrance.

"This wine smells quite mellow."

Sitting aside, Li Maoshan was very surprised to see the aroma of the bowl of wine.

"You try it."

Chen Yan pushed the bowl in front of him.

Li Maoshan picked up the bowl and took a sip.The mellow aroma in the mouth is actually very pleasant, the wine flows down the esophagus, it is not choking, but it makes people sip more.

He drank a few more sips, half of the bowl of wine went away, and he pushed the remaining half of the bowl back to Chen Yan.

"Very good wine, try it."

Chen Yan smelled the aroma of wine and hesitated.

"Afraid of getting drunk?"

Li Maoshan said with a smile, recalling the day when the two got married, this man went crazy because of drunkenness.Li Maoshan really wanted to see him go crazy with alcohol again, but Chen Yan refused to touch alcohol, so he lost some fun.

Chen Yan glanced at him, and said firmly, "I'm not that bad at drinking."

Li Maoshan chuckled a few times when he heard the words, but he didn't force him, he picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the wine.

Chen Yan saw that he drank it all in one gulp, and was a little afraid that he would drink too fast, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Drink slowly, I won't let you go to bed when you get drunk."

Li Maoshan said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, I will settle accounts with you."

It was only then that Chen Yan remembered the money he had locked in the cabinet, so he got up and put away the jug.

Chen Yanding's prices are not high, because most of the dishes are home-cooked, and the price of the dishes ranges from a few Wen to dozens of Wen.Today's income is also dominated by copper coins.

It would take a lot of time to clear up a large pile of copper coins. The two of them immersed themselves in the counting, and Chen Yan recorded the integers one by one, and finally summed them up to obtain their today's income.

Li Maoshan put the copper coins on a string, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Yan's eyes staring at the ledger.

"Brother Shan, we made a lot of money!"

Chen Yan held the ledger and pulled Li Maoshan who was arranging the copper coins, his eyes flickered, and his face was full of surprise.He pointed to the unexpected number on the account book, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak clearly because of his excitement.

Li Maoshan had no choice but to look at it himself. The figures on the account book were similar to his estimate, but he was not too surprised.

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Chen Yan saw that he calmly handed the ledger back to him, and the excitement just now calmed down a bit.

"I think these copper coins can almost estimate the approximate number, but seeing you so happy, it seems that today's effort is worth it."

"It must be worth it."

Chen Yan touched the charming copper coins, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

"We earned twelve taels on the first day, and 30 days a month, that's 300 taels." After doing the calculation, Chen Yan couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, and kept shouting that they were about to get rich.

Li Maoshan shook his head and smiled, but he said something shocking: "Today, many people come here for freshness. After a few days, there will not be so many people, and the income will not be so much."

Chen Yan pouted and stared at him: "Can't you let me fantasize for a while. In fact, I don't ask much. I earn two taels a day, and 60 taels a month. After deducting the ten taels rent paid to Boss Lu, six taels Dividends, then there will be 44 taels. Xiaoxin and the others deduct four taels from their wages, and we still have 40 taels of silver."

It's really a lot to think about it this way.

"And what about the cost of ingredients?"

Li Maoshan pinched his bulging face because of excitement, and he liked his little mind that was happy to be satisfied.

"Well, after deducting seventy-eight eighty-eight ingredients, we can still have a net income of twelve taels." Chen Yan thought for a while, and the cost of ingredients is quite a lot.

Regardless of the fact that they only use vegetables, one month's consumption can still account for half of their income.

"Twelve taels, that's really a lot."

The annual income of an ordinary family is only a few taels, and there is not much money that can be saved after excluding food and expenses.

If calculated according to their estimated value, wouldn't they have money.

With a longing for a better future, Chen Yan was extremely excited all night. Seeing his excitement, Li Maoshan didn't feel sleepy, so he had to catch someone to do hard work all night before Chen Yan fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that this commotion made Chen Yan look listless the next day, and he often complained about Li Maoshan's behavior last night.

Fortunately, although he was tired, it did not affect his energy for cooking the next day.It's just that the scheduled breakfast can only be postponed for another day.

In order to earn a lot of money as soon as possible, Chen Yan worked hard and rolled up his sleeves to prepare the lunch dishes.

For several days, Chen Yan's restaurant attracted more and more diners because of its delicious dishes, affordable prices, and comfortable environment.

Although he was busy, he brought in a lot of income. Chen Yan grinned at everyone every day, and Li Maoshan, who was looking at him cheerfully, was also very happy for him.

"Huh, the feeling of making money is really good, but it's tiring."

Because the business is good, Chen Yan has to stand in front of the stove and cook non-stop every day, and he can only catch his breath when he has free time.

"Come here, I'll give you a massage." Li Maoshan took the time to go over and squeeze his back, and said rather distressed: "If you are really tired, you can cook less dishes and sell less. It's not a problem."

Sometimes there are too many diners, and the pre-cooked dishes are sold out in a short while, so Chen Yan has to hurry up to replenish.It was only a few days, and he lost a lot of weight just looking at Chen Yan.

On the contrary, the flesh around the waist has tightened a lot, which is very comfortable to the touch.

"It's okay." Chen Yan waved his hand, finished the new dishes, and asked people to take them out, "These dishes are not complicated to make, and they are fried repeatedly every day. I know how to do it with my eyes closed."

After washing the pot, he started cooking other dishes.

Li Maoshan stood aside, seeing him so focused, his heart ached with pride.

"If you have time, you can teach me how to cook, so that I can share some of it for you."

After watching in silence for a long time, Li Maoshan said suddenly, and Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment before continuing.

He looked up at Li Maoshan, and nodded with his eyebrows bent: "That's a good relationship. When the time comes, I will teach you, and you will cook. I will count the money, and I am a little excited when I think about it."

After laughing for a while, Chen Yan put away his smile and said solemnly: "Let me teach you how to make this Furong Sansi first..."

"Hey, little brother, where's your beautiful boss?"

Hu San has been busy for several days, and this day is finally free.Thinking that his wine gourd was still mortgaged by him in the cookbook of the big cafeteria, he hurried over to the restaurant to find someone.

As soon as he came in, he saw that the business in the restaurant was booming. He looked at it curiously for a while, and found that this restaurant was very interesting.

The dishes are not served by the clerk, but the diners choose by themselves.The dishes were warming up on the stoves one by one, which made Hu San quite hungry.

But thinking of his purpose of coming here today, he could only swallow his saliva and find someone to ask.

"You liar still has the face to show up."

Since Hu San came in, Ah Gui noticed him.

At this time, he rushed over and grabbed the person, spread his hands and said, "You still owe ten coins, pay the money quickly."

"Yo, it's you, it's just right. Where's your little boss? I'm here today to find him." Hu San saw the familiar Agui, and immediately let another clerk go, "Go and call your little boss here, Master is here to do business with him today."

"What kind of business can you have?" Agui squinted at him, "No matter what, you should pay the debt first and then talk about other things."

Hu San shook his hands, and broke away from Agui's shackles, "You young man is really interesting to talk, didn't I give my pot of wine to your little boss, and the sweet-scented osmanthus wine usually sells for three Ten pennies, I'm getting a cheap mortgage."

"Our boss doesn't drink alcohol, even if you give it away for free, you won't get any money." Agui said with a look of disgust, he didn't think alcohol was good.

Hearing what he said, Hu San shook his head, "Kids don't know much about wine, call your boss over here."

The chattering behavior of the two caught the attention of some diners, and Xiao Xin had no choice but to step forward and pull them to the corner.

"Don't argue in the lobby, it's not good for the guests to see." Xiao Xin reprimanded A Gui, then turned to look at Hu San, "And you, since you showed up, hurry up and pay the debts." The bill has been paid."

Agui was a little sullen at first when he was preached by Xiao Xin, but when he heard the second half of his sentence, he was immediately happy.

"Come, come, pay off the debt, so we can let you see our boss."

Hu San looked at the two hands spread out in front of him, feeling helpless, "Your boss really found two persistent debt collectors." He said and counted ten copper coins from the money bag to them.

"If you pay the money earlier, it's over." Agui put away the money, "But our boss is busy, if you really have something to do, you can find a place to wait."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Xiao Xin to continue entertaining the guests, leaving Hu San alone to stare at the diners.

"These two little shop assistants are real."

But he was stunned for a while, then found a free corner seat, ordered a few side dishes, took out a jug of wine that he brought, and ate slowly.

When the diners in the lobby gradually became scarce, Hu San finally waited for the beautiful little boss.

Chen Yan found out from Agui and the others that this person was here again, and seeing this person drinking and drinking leisurely by himself made people feel quite unrestrained.

"Brother, I heard that you have something to do with me?"
