Chapter 56




56 Pepper Flavored Crispy Pork

“Mother, don’t worry. Even if I can’t do business with Hongxing Restaurant, I won’t be discouraged.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and explained obediently, “Actually, the reason why I asked Eldest Sister-in-law to give that dried fish to the restaurant’s second manager to try is not entirely for business.”

“I heard that Eldest Brother and Second Manager have always been on good terms. Isn’t the relationship between friends formed through such exchanges? I hope that Second Managre can take care of the shop’s business in the future on account of that bowl of dried fish. In that case, I’ll be satisfied.”

Zhao Lanhua did not expect Ji Zhao to think so far ahead. She could not help but feel gratified.

An hour later, Ji Zhao glanced at the marinated pork belly and immediately cracked two eggs into a bowl. Then, she added starch and stirred it evenly.

When the oil in the pot was 60% hot, she picked up her chopsticks and placed the pork belly into the pot one by one. After it was fried into a golden color, she scooped it out.

For a moment, the entire kitchen was filled with a fragrant and spicy smell.

“Mother, this snack is called pepper-flavored crispy pork. Do you want to try it?” Ji Zhao picked up a piece of crispy pork and brought it to Zhao Lanhua’s lips with a smile.

“It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.” Zhao Lanhua nodded in agreement. “Delicious!”

Ji Zhao could not help but taste one as well. Then, she nodded in satisfaction.

As an imperial chef’s descendant, her culinary skills had never gone offline!

“Mother, let’s try our luck now?” After Ji Zhao packed up everything, she smiled gently and said, “Let’s see if we can sell all of these?”

“Alright, let’s go out now!”

What Ji Zhao did not expect was that in less than 15 minutes, the crispy dried fish and pepper flavored crispy pork she made were sold out.

The person who bought these was the second manager of the Hongxing Restaurant, who had tasted the dried fish.

Second Manager You was full of praise for Ji Zhao’s delicacies.

“Tomorrow afternoon, prepare 15 kilograms of these two delicious dishes and send them to the restaurant. Is that alright?”

When she saw the two white silver ingots on the table, Ji Zhao was in a daze.

A total of twenty taels of silver!

“No problem!” Ji Zhao agreed readily.

“By the way,” Second Manager You thought about it and asked curiously, “Do you know how to make braised food?”

The Hongxing Restaurant originally had six chefs, and one of them was a braised food chef. However, as the braised food chef grew older, his taste also became stronger. Moreover, he also had the intention to retire, so the two managers of the restaurant had kept trying to recruit chefs who knew how to make braised food.

Originally, Second Manager You only wanted to give it a try. However, he did not expect Ji Zhao to really know how to make braised food.

“Our Hongxing Restaurant’s braised food chefs have good treatment. Every month, they get six taels of silver. Every year, we will give out all kinds of gifts. Do you want to try?” Second Manager You invited with a smile.

“I have to discuss this with my husband.” Ji Zhao smiled and said something lively.

“Alright, if you’re willing to come, feel free to look for me!”

Now, Second Manager You was completely convinced by Ji Zhao’s culinary skills!

When only her family was left in the pastry shop, Ji Zhao hurriedly handed the silver to Zhao Lanhua.

“What are you doing?” Zhao Lanhua raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“Mother, you keep track of all this silver.” A delicate smile appeared on Ji Zhao’s face. “Can you help me deal with it?”
