Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xia Lian's thoughts were decades ahead of his, and he was immediately shocked.

"No, sister, there are wild boars everywhere. Do we need to raise them? Is it really feasible?"

"Pure wild boar meat has a strong fishy smell, so we use domestic pigs to improve it. The pigs are castrated from a young age, and their appearance is the same as wild boars. They exercise a lot and are fed mainly with vegetables, which results in a high leanness rate. When fried, they taste delicious and will become a specialty dish."

"Is that little deer over there the same? Do they want to develop breeding as well?"

"That's a roe deer. The meat is delicious. The supply of wild roe deer is always unstable. If you want to open a restaurant and want to develop, you naturally have to breed them. In another ten or twenty years, hunting will probably be banned. By then, hunting in the mountains will be just a stick. It will be illegal to catch a pheasant or a rabbit, so we must plan ahead."

After dinner, Li Hu, Xu Xiong and Li Xiaofei went back to practice boxing. Originally, the two were reluctant to bring Li Xiaofei with them, but they couldn't resist the boy's ability to make things happen. They handed them cigarettes and light, and agreed to take him to practice boxing with them in the evening.

Mother, Jingwen and Dongxue went back after dinner. Sister-in-law Guilan went to clean the barn. Although the farm was not big, it was work all day long, and the forty or fifty yuan a month was not in vain.

The cousin said to Liu Xia Lian, "Sister, I will probably have to hide for a few years this time. The food and drink for a family of five all fall on my shoulders. I don't have any other skills except cooking. I'm a cook. Can you arrange a job for me as a cook at your Iron Pot Stew?"

Liu Xialian thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, no. This iron pot stew is a Northeastern dish. You can't cook Northeastern dishes. Linyi cuisine is very different from Northeastern cuisine. Besides, you can't tie two donkeys to the same trough. There is a chef in the restaurant. If you go over there, I'm afraid he will bully you."

Liu Fugang was disappointed. It seemed that he was too anxious. "Okay, then you can find me another job."

"I can't arrange for you at Baishan Iron Pot Stew, so how about this? I'm opening a new restaurant and you can be the chef. This restaurant mainly serves fried chicken and a dozen or so stir-fries. There are so many delicacies in my hometown that I can't keep them hidden forever. I have to share them with everyone."

Sister-in-law Cheng Ling was surprised: "It will cost a lot of money to open a new restaurant. I'm afraid Fu Gang can't run it alone."

"It's located in a prosperous area of ​​the county town, with two floors. The downstairs can accommodate more than a dozen scattered seats, and the second floor has seven or eight private rooms. You don't have to be too demanding, more than 20 tables a day will be enough. After deducting the labor and material expenses, I'll be satisfied if I can make a profit of 10 or 20 yuan. I think my cousin's cooking is pretty good, not worse than the chefs in state-owned restaurants. Besides, we are positioned as a low- to mid-range restaurant, not a high-end one."

Liu Fugang really wanted to try it. A cook who doesn’t want to be a chef is not a good cook.

"A restaurant must have at least two chefs and a skilled apprentice. If you feel comfortable with it, I can call a chef and an apprentice from our hometown. We are all brothers from the same family," Liu Fugang suggested.

Liu Xia Lian nodded: "There is no problem with this. Just pay the salary according to the rules. Relatives are relatives, business is business, and accounts are settled clearly. Let them come over after the New Year. After the 15th, they will go to Baishan Iron Pot Stew to familiarize themselves, and then go to the county town to open a store."

Liu Fugang suddenly felt that his brain was not enough. Yesterday he was still a vagrant, fleeing famine with his wife and children, anxious to death, and today someone wanted to invite him to be a chef. The world is changing too fast.

On the contrary, my sister-in-law was a little unconfident: "Fugang, it will cost thousands or even tens of thousands to open a restaurant, are you sure? A restaurant in the county is a big restaurant."

Liu Fugang didn't say anything, he was thinking.

Liu Xialian said: "Don't worry, I will pay for it, and I will give my cousin a net salary. Whether it is profit or loss, it will not affect you."

Liu Fugang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's settled. I promise to do it well. I'll come over to cook from tomorrow. I'll cook two of my signature dishes for every meal. I can't let my cooking skills fall behind."

The next morning, Liu Fugang really did what he said. Liu Xia Lian got up early and went out for a run, while Daya and Erya were still sleeping.

There are quite a lot of dishes in the farm’s kitchen, including chicken, fish, meat, eggs and geese, but who would eat so much fish and meat for breakfast? What kind of family are they?

When he saw the dried chilies and potatoes, he immediately decided to show off his cooking skills. He was a good cook, so he made some shredded potatoes with vinegar, and his basic skills were immediately revealed.

The potato shreds must be cut very thinly, and then stir-fried over high heat after being boiled in water. They must be crispy and taste great. Only then is it considered acceptable.

Liu Fugang cut four large potatoes and prepared dried chilies and chopped green onions.

Heat oil in a large iron pan until it is boiling, add soybean oil until it smokes, stir-fry the chili peppers until fragrant, then add shredded potatoes. The pan is too big, so you can only stir-fry quickly. When they are almost cooked, add salt, chopped green onions, and a small amount of aged vinegar, and a plate of delicious spicy and sour potatoes will be ready.

There is also white radish, and I made some stir-fried shredded radish, which tastes delicious.

Liu Xia Lian ran five kilometers with her gun on her back. She had been in such good physical condition recently that she didn't feel anything at all after running this distance.

When I returned to the room, I saw four dishes on the table: shredded potatoes, shredded radishes, shredded pickles, and chives.

Sister Guilan was getting a bowl ready to serve porridge, and Li Hu, Xu Xiong and Li Xiaofei also came over.

Daya and Erya just woke up. Erya yawned and said, "I don't want to eat pickled vegetable and corn porridge every morning."

Daya rolled her eyes at her and said, "Sister Guilan prepared breakfast for us, which is already very good. Don't be picky."

Guilan said, "I didn't cook it today. I went to clean up and when I came back the food was ready. Could it be that the goldfish in the tank became a spirit and came out to cook the food?"

Erya actually ran to the tank to look at the goldfish. The goldfish swam around with its eyes wide open, and it didn't look like a fish that could cook.

Everyone washed their hands and ate. Erya saw the vinegar-fried potato shreds at first glance. She took a bite of the potato shreds in a steamed bun and immediately felt like she was about to fly: "Mm, delicious, so delicious."

Liu Xia Lian also took a bite and gave a thumbs up, praising him: "Cousin, your cooking skills are amazing. This plate of shredded potatoes, 60 cents is not expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, not expensive, it's worth the price." Sister-in-law Guilan also praised.

A pound of potatoes costs about 1 cent, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and fuel costs about 1 cent, and labor costs 1 cent. Net profit is 3 cents, and state-owned restaurants charge 60 to 80 cents. Private restaurants can't charge too high, now is the wild growth period of individual restaurants, and everyone competes on price and service.

The fried shredded radish is also tender and delicious. It is indeed a rare cooking skill. The spirit is reflected in the details. Because of the small amount of land in my hometown, the rural people live in poverty, so it is much more difficult than in the Northeast. In the Northeast, as long as you are not lazy, you can plant dozens of acres of land, go to the mountains to pick pine cones, and go to the fields to collect some medicinal herbs. All these are money.
