Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 176 A clever plan

A busy and fulfilling day passed just like that.

The breeze blows, and the flowers bloom.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

A deep well has been dug at home. During this period, An Yue went to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots whenever she had free time. Now there are about 100 kilograms of half-dried bamboo shoots at home.

An Yue thought of taking some half-dried bamboo shoots to the town to exchange for some silver, and then buy a tool for drawing water from the well. She wondered if there was such a water-drawing tool in the town.

The next day, it was just dawn.

After finishing their breakfast, the brother and sister packed the bamboo shoots they had peeled yesterday and spread them out in the yard to dry. Then they each carried a basket of dried bamboo shoots and went to the main road to wait for Li Wu's ox cart.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Wu drove a bullock cart from the west end of the village. An Yue greeted Li Wu, "Uncle Li."

Li Wu asked from a distance: "Are you two going to town?"

"Yes!"

Li Wu parked the ox cart by the road and helped the siblings put the backpack on the cart. The siblings then got on the cart and headed towards the town.

After a while, it was dawn.

When the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the town, the brother and sister got off the cart and handed the money for the ox cart ride to Li Wu. Then they walked towards the main street carrying the dried bamboo shoots.

An Nian looked at the two baskets of dried bamboo shoots and couldn't help asking, "Sister, how are you going to sell these dried bamboo shoots?"

An Yue looked around and saw that there were not many people on the street at this moment.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go ask a few restaurants if they will accept it. If none of them will, then I can just find a stall and sell it!"

An Nian asked again: "Which restaurant should we go to first?"

"Let's go to Wanfulou first!"

An Yue had not had much contact with the restaurants in Shijing Town, and the only restaurant she was relatively familiar with was Wanfulou.

Wanfulou is the largest restaurant in Shijing Town. The owner of the restaurant had previously received a recipe from Anyue. Just with this recipe, Manager Wang made a fortune.

However, as time passed, An Yue said anxiously, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang still remembers me."

Not long after walking, the brother and sister arrived at the back door of Wanfulou.

Usually there is someone guarding this place. When the brother and sister reached the back door, An Yue saw that the person guarding this place was no longer the same person.

So the brother and sister put down the backpack and said respectfully to the guard, "My dear brother, I'm sorry to bother you. May I ask if Shopkeeper Wang is here?"

The man saw that the brother and sister were not accompanied by an adult, so he looked them up and down and said, "What do you want to see Shopkeeper Wang?"

An Yue hurriedly said, "I have something important to discuss with Shopkeeper Wang."

The man just shouted inside.

After a while, Shopkeeper Wang came out.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at An Yue and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

An Yue walked forward, bowed to Shopkeeper Wang, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, long time no see."

An Nian also said politely: "How are you, Shopkeeper Wang?"

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "Haha...Okay, okay, come on, brother and sister, please come in." Shopkeeper Wang enthusiastically led the brother and sister into the back door.

The brother and sister then put on the backpack and walked towards the backyard with Manager Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang said as he walked away, "Miss An Yue, it's been a long time since we last met!"

"Yes, yes! It's been a long time since we last met. Is Shopkeeper Wang's business getting more and more prosperous?"

"That also depends on your help, but the momentum has faded recently. Do you have any other recipes?"

Seeing that it was getting late, An Yue said to An Nian, "Niannian, you should go to the school first!"

An Nian bowed to Manager Wang and walked straight towards the west entrance of the town.

Watching An Nian walk away, An Yue turned to Shopkeeper Wang and said, "As for the recipe, I do have it, but..."

When Shopkeeper Wang heard that there was a recipe, his eyes lit up and he instantly became interested. He smiled so hard that his eyes became slits.

He asked quickly: "Miss, just tell me what you want to say."

"Just as Shopkeeper Wang said, the trend of stewed fish is over now. Is Shopkeeper worried these days?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "Miss, please go on with the details."

"Does the shopkeeper want to make the restaurant ahead of its peers again?"

He nodded expectantly, "Yes, yes."

"For now, if you want to stand out from your peers, you have to launch new products."

He sighed and said, "The girl has touched my heart."

An Yue pointed at the dried bamboo shoots in his basket and said, "Boss, do you know what this is?"

Shopkeeper Yang slowly moved his eyes to where An Yue pointed and asked in confusion, "What is this...?"

An Yue grabbed a handful of dried bamboo shoots from her backpack and handed them to Shopkeeper Wang, saying, "These are dried bamboo shoots."

Shopkeeper Wang looked embarrassed and said, "This... bamboo shoots are rarely used in restaurants on weekdays."

Shopkeeper Wang paused for a moment, then continued, "However, in this case, I still want to hear Miss An Yue's opinion."

An Yue quickly recalled the method of cooking bamboo shoots in the 21st century.

The more common cooking methods include stewing chicken with bamboo shoots, stewing pork ribs with bamboo shoots, braised bamboo shoots in oil, stir-fried shredded bamboo shoots, twice-cooked pork with bamboo shoots, and stir-fried bamboo shoots with sauerkraut.

It’s just that the varieties of bamboo shoots are different, and the cooking methods are also slightly different.

This kind of spring bamboo shoots is most suitable for making stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with sauerkraut. It has a refreshing, crispy and delicious taste.

"May I ask Shopkeeper Wang, how do we usually cook bamboo shoots in our restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Wang replied without hesitation: "Chicken stewed with bamboo shoots."

“The taste of bamboo shoots stewed with chicken is indeed good, but it is inevitable that the stewed chicken will be stewed for too long, which will directly destroy the crisp taste of the spring bamboo shoots themselves.”

Shopkeeper Wang asked with great interest, "Then according to your opinion, do you have any other good ideas?"

"Of course there are. The bamboo shoots themselves have a crisp taste, but are also slightly astringent, making them more suitable for stir-frying with pickled vegetables."

“The pickled cabbage can be picked for the bitterness of the spring bamboo shoots. Since the spring bamboo shoots are fresh and crisp, they taste even better when paired with pickled cabbage!”

"However, spring bamboo shoots are seasonal ingredients, and the dish can only last for about two months."

An Yue analyzed the advantages and disadvantages to him, which seemed more realistic and did not count as taking advantage of the familiarity.

The previous braised fish recipe made Wanfulou very popular for a time. Now all restaurants, big and small, know how to make braised fish, so naturally, the popularity of Wanfulou has gradually faded.

At this time, Shopkeeper Wang folded his hands in front of him, squinted his eyes and thought quickly. An Yue saw that Shopkeeper Wang was slow to speak.

An Yue wanted to find a way to make money by exchanging the toon sprouts and spring bamboo shoots on the back mountain before they get old.

Furthermore, Shopkeeper Wang also urgently needed this opportunity, so An Yue continued:

"Nowadays, it is the season of spring when flowers are in full bloom. Many dignitaries, merchants and nobles will definitely go out to enjoy the spring. If Shopkeeper Wang launches a new dish at this time, it cannot be just one dish."

After An Yue finished speaking, she carefully glanced at Shopkeeper Wang's expression. Shopkeeper Wang had been running Wanfulou for many years, so he naturally knew one thing: nothing lasts forever.

He opened his mouth and said:
