Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 52 Negotiating a Cooperation with 4 Seas Restaurant

In the next instant, Wu Qingfeng frowned slightly. The two younger ones were fine, but Lin Chang'er was already covered in sweat, but she hadn't uttered a sound the whole way.

Wu Qingfeng took out a handkerchief from his pocket, but then seemed to remember something and didn't hand it to her. Instead, he said, "I've never heard of eating sea urchin sashimi before, as you mentioned at the stall. Could you come upstairs and tell me more about it?"

Lin Chang'er's eyes lit up.

They were just talking about buying seafood. Isn't she a seafood seller?

They have demand, she has goods, and she even has a way to keep things fresh, so why can't we talk about it?

With Pei Sihai not around, she needed a reason to wait for him to return at the restaurant.

But sea urchin sashimi!

Judging from the "God of Wealth's" attire and demeanor, he must have seen the world. The fact that even he had never eaten it shows that this way of eating didn't exist in this era.

If it were for her own consumption, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to deliver the food and instruct her on how to eat it.

However, if it's a restaurant, then the price will be different.

Wu Qingfeng noticed her hesitation, "Is it inconvenient?"

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "To be honest, this is indeed a way of eating that our family came up with ourselves."

But since you're interested, young master, how about this: I'll borrow the restaurant's kitchen and cook something for you to try.

In this way, it's neither considered refusing the "God of Wealth" nor a reason to stay.

Who knows, we might even close two more deals.

Wu Qingfeng understood what she meant: the family recipe was not to be passed on to outsiders, and if he wanted to eat it, she could make it herself.

What if I want to eat it again later? I'll just have to go back to her; that little girl is shrewd!

However, the more she tried to hide it, the more interested he became. "Very good."

Lin Chang'er added, "But while I'm using the kitchen, no one from the restaurant is allowed to enter or leave the kitchen, let alone peek. Is that possible?"

Wu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. "What's so difficult about that!"

He immediately ordered the staff to clear the area, and the staff worked extremely efficiently.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the kitchen had gathered in the front hall.

Lin Chang'er carried the bucket into the kitchen, and the little goldfish immediately gave Xu Gun'er a wink. The two of them stood guard outside the door, watching closely even if a fly flew by.

The standard way to prepare sea urchin sashimi is with lemon juice, soy sauce, and wasabi.

But there obviously wouldn't be any lemon juice or mustard here. Fortunately, Lin Chang'er found white vinegar and dogwood. White vinegar could be used to replace lemon juice, and dogwood sauce could replace mustard sauce.

After preparing the sauce, Lin Chang'er carefully opened a small opening at the top of the sea urchin shell, cleaned out the internal organs, leaving only the clean sea urchin roe.

Pour in the sauce, shake well, and then store it in the space to chill.

Lin Chang'er's understanding of sashimi has always been that it is about using the most primitive processing methods to make the most expensive way of eating the ingredients.

The presentation is crucial, but the sea cucumber was a bit too plain, so I took out a fresh and plump grouper from the bucket and sliced ​​it into sashimi.

Thinking back to what the waiter had just mentioned, there was also a young master surnamed Bai who went out with Pei Sihai.

Lin Chang'er found three suitable plates in the cupboard, sliced ​​cucumbers into thin slices and laid them on the bottom of the plates, then arranged the sashimi and sea urchin.

Then, I had the little goldfish pick three small purple flowers from the yard. I broke off three pieces from the existing dough to use as clay bases to fix the flowers in place. I put them back into my space and chilled them for a while before I was finished.

Lin Chang'er didn't need to worry about delivering the food; as soon as she opened the door, a waiter from Sihai Restaurant came in to take over.

The sashimi was served in a private room, but Lin Chang'er didn't rush upstairs. She waited in the front hall with Xiao Jinyu and Xu Gun'er.

Perhaps it was an order from above, because the waiter was very courteous and served tea and snacks instead of making them wait.

Lin Chang'er guessed correctly. After returning with Pei Sihai today, Bai Shaoan was not in a hurry to go home. After hearing Wu Qingfeng talk about sea urchin sashimi, he became even more interested.

When the waiter brought over the sashimi, Bai Shaoan's eyes widened. This is food? It looks quite appealing, but he couldn't bear to eat it.

Pei Sihai was also taken aback. He had always known that delicious food was found in the countryside, but this plating was nothing like the taste of a rural woman.

Needless to say, Wu Qingfeng's expression softened without him even realizing it; this little girl always manages to surprise him.

But unlike Bai Shaoan, who believed that good things should be collected, he always thought that food was meant to be eaten.

I scooped up a spoonful of sea urchin with a silver spoon and put it in my mouth. The icy, smooth texture instantly enveloped my entire mouth, and it felt as if countless flower petals were fluttering in my heart, bringing a sense of freedom and joy...

Wu Qingfeng didn't consider himself a person who had a strong appetite, but he still lost control and indulged in his food.

Seeing his expression, Bai Shaoan couldn't help but mutter, "Is it really that delicious?"

Wu Qingfeng didn't waste any words, "Try it yourself."

Bai Shaoan said "Oh," and almost simultaneously tasted the food with Pei Sihai. Then, the two looked at each other in unison, and after a moment of silence and surprise, they nodded vigorously.

After that, there was no more conversation in the private room.

When Lin Chang'er was invited to the private room, only cucumber slices remained on the plates of the three of them.

The unfamiliar young man eagerly asked, "Did you make this sea urchin sashimi? Tell me quickly, how did you make it?"

Lin Chang'er smiled politely, but before he could speak, Wu Qingfeng interjected, "Shao'an, this is someone's family secret recipe. There's no reason to reveal it so easily."

Bai Shaoan slapped his forehead, realizing his rashness and rudeness. He cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Chang'er, then leaned close to Pei Sihai's ear and whispered, "Uncle Pei, you should buy this prescription. I guarantee you'll make a fortune."

Pei Sihai had the same idea, but he didn't speak rashly. He first asked Lin Chang'er, "Besides sea urchin, what other kind of sashimi was there just now?"

Lin Chang'er truthfully replied, "It's a spotted scorpion."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Qingfeng and said, "Sea urchins are a bit monotonous, so I took the liberty of using a grouper instead. I hope you don't mind, young master?"

Wu Qingfeng was in a good mood at the moment and waved his hand, "It's alright!"

Pei Sihai then asked, "Can grouper be made into sashimi?"

Lin Chang'er replied, "Not only that, there are many other types of sea fish that can be made into sashimi."

One recipe can be used to make a variety of dishes; it's such a great deal!

Bai Shaoan frantically winked at Pei Sihai: Uncle Pei, it's not a bad deal to take him down.

Pei Sihai also felt that he absolutely had to acquire this sashimi recipe. "Would the young lady be willing to sell this recipe to me?"

Lin Chang'er had expected him to say that, but she did not intend to buy it out in one go.

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to sell, but the sashimi recipe cannot be explained in one go."

Pei Sihai narrowed his eyes slightly. "How so?"

Lin Chang'er slowly spoke, "But if the essence of sashimi is the ingredients themselves, then the sauce is its soul."

The taste of the sauce will vary depending on the proportions of the ingredients.

Our Great Xia Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and it's impossible to please everyone. People in the north like spicy food, people in the south like sweet food, and people along the coast prefer light flavors.

Mr. Pei, you have a northern accent, so I suppose you can handle spicy food. I've increased the spiciness of today's sauce.

However, if the guests are from the south, some other ingredients need to be added to the sauce so that it can suit their tastes…

Upon hearing this, Pei Sihai's eyes shone even brighter with amazement. He felt even more determined not to miss out on this recipe, but he also couldn't bring the young girl to Sihai Restaurant, as they might not be willing to do so.

Bai Shaoan was extremely anxious. If they didn't sell it, would he never be able to eat delicious sashimi again?

When it comes to brains, Wu Sange is the best. Bai Shaoan turned his head and frantically hinted to Wu Qingfeng to come up with a solution.

Lin Chang'er took in the expressions of the group and knew that they would not give up so easily. The initiative had been regained.

Wu Qingfeng ignored Bai Shaoan's crazy hints and instead clearly observed Lin Chang'er's every move. This little girl was much more capable than he had imagined!

Without wasting any more time, he asked directly, "If we can't sell it directly, are there any other ways?"
