Lin Jiu opened the door and entered the store, took out a small wooden sign and hung it on the door.
When everyone looked at the business hours, they saw that lunch started at 11 o'clock and ended at 1 o'clock. This is not a business attitude at all.
People with bad tempers turned around and left on the spot. Isn't their time valuable? What delicious food have they not eaten? They have never seen such an arrogant store. They just walked away.
The cars that were stuck in traffic finally started to move, and half of the people chose to leave.
The rest of the people either had time or were attracted by the boss's personality. The more unique the boss was, the more curious they were about what kind of delicacy could make the picky Jiang Ge say such words.
Lin Jiu took out a piece of chalk and wrote down today's dishes on the small blackboard:
Seafood rice (small portion)/298 yuan
Seafood rice (medium portion)/1098 yuan
Seafood rice (large portion)/3998 yuan
Crab roe porridge (single person)/1698 yuan
Crab roe porridge (two people) / 2998 yuan
Sashimi platter (standard)/8998 yuan
Lin Jiu opened the door and placed the small blackboard outside. He found that the old man in the wheelchair had left, so he went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The people waiting outside saw that there were only three options to choose from and the prices were not low. They didn't want to eat and some of them left. The remaining few were all curious people who had money and time, so they could afford to wait.
Lin Jiu was busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner. When the time came, he opened the shop door and started business.
To Lin Jiu's surprise, the old man in the wheelchair appeared again, and was the first in line, pushed in by a man with an elite look.
Lin Jiu reminded, "Read the dining rules first and order at the bar."
Everyone who came in was shocked by the four dining rules. What kind of overbearing rules are these? Not taking out without reservations is fine, and not accepting orders is understandable, after all, some private chefs also have this rule, but what is the rule of not asking about the ingredients? If they don't ask, how do they know what they are eating
Some people couldn't accept it and turned away immediately.
Lin Jiu didn't care. Once the dining rules were posted, some people would accept them and some wouldn't. It was normal.
The old man said, "Give me one portion of today's dishes."
Lin Jiu: "Are you eating alone? One person may not be able to finish it, and this shop refuses to waste anything."
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Two people, me and my secretary, you watch over the preparations."
Secretary Jin had already pushed Mr. Song to his seat, and Mr. Song stood up and sat on the sofa. It was not that his legs could not support walking, but he was old, and his spleen and stomach functions were gradually weakened, causing his legs and feet to become weak, making it easy for him to fall when walking. If he fell at his age, it would be a serious matter, so Si Xu asked him to sit in a wheelchair as much as possible.
Lin Jiu also found that the old man's legs and feet were intact, but he was trembling and a little unstable when he stood up. He thought it was probably a disease caused by old age. He didn't ask any more questions and prepared meals for the two of them.
Those who accepted the dining rules found a seat and sat down. They all ordered large portions of seafood rice and were obviously very hungry.
Lin Jiu delivered the food in the order in which it was ordered, starting with the elderly table.
Lin Jiu brought down a large bowl of rich seafood rice and placed it in front of Secretary Jin, and then brought down the complimentary shrimp soup.
Mr. Song was given a single casserole and a sashimi platter.
Lin Jiu opened the clay pot for the old man, and a rich aroma wafted out, with a hint of green dotted in the golden porridge.
"Crab roe porridge is good for your body and stomach, and easy to digest. It's better for you to eat this."
The old man picked up the wooden spoon and took a bite. Last night, Si Xu told him that the crab roe porridge at the Magic Fish Shop was delicious, and asked the old man to try the crab roe porridge when he went there.
I didn’t expect to eat it today.
The crab roe porridge made by Lin Jiu is filled with crab roe, crab roe and crab leg meat of the devil's claw crab, as well as shredded shrimp tail meat. The fresh and fragrant taste blends into the thick chalcedony rice porridge, making it soft, glutinous, fresh and fragrant, and the flavor is amazing.
With just one bite, Mr. Song knew that this young man's cooking skills were extraordinary.
When Mr. Song looked at the sashimi platter again, he recognized the silver fish at a glance. He had seen his grandson eat it many times, but he himself had never tasted it. Today, he came here to taste the fish that could help his grandson recover and see what it tasted like.
Pick up a piece of thick-cut silver carp and put it directly into your mouth without any seasoning.
Mr. Song tasted it carefully and found it had a very good taste. The meat was delicate and smooth, with the unique freshness of fresh sea fish, but it also had a certain indescribable flavor that was even better than sea fish.
It's amazing. After taking a bite, I really enjoy it. All the veins and bones in my body seem to be stretched out, and my whole body feels relaxed and comfortable.
This is no longer just a taste enjoyment, but also an enjoyment for the body and soul.
For those who are busy all day, sitting down and eating such a delicious meal can relax their taste buds, body and mind.
It really deserves the praise of "dream food".
Mr. Song savored the food leisurely while Lin Jiu went to take care of other guests.
Portions of seafood rice and shrimp soup were served out one after another. The restaurant was very quiet, with only the sound of people eating.
Everyone was concentrating on enjoying the food and had no time to talk. When it came time to pay the bill, everyone praised the food as "delicious" and lit candles for those who were leaving, hoping that they would not regret it.
Cheng Yiran pushed the door open and was a little surprised to see that the store was almost full.
She walked to the bar, hesitating and not knowing how to start.
Lin Jiu looked up and recognized her as one of the two girls from last night, "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Cheng Yiran was a little embarrassed. "Um, can I ask what ingredients were in the soup you delivered last night?"
Lin Jiu had a blank expression on his face. "Please read Rule 3 of the dining rules."
Of course Cheng Yiran knew the rule of not asking about the ingredients.
She was even more embarrassed. "I know. I just wanted to ask about the ingredients. I want to go back and try making it myself."
Lin Jiu said bluntly, "You can't do it."
Without ingredients from the Demonic Sea, it is impossible to make delicious food from the Demonic Sea plane.
Cheng Yiran blushed a little, "I know it won't taste like the ones in the store, but the effect is the same. I have dysmenorrhea for many years. Every time I have my period, I will be in excruciating pain until the end of the period. It affects my study when I am in school and it affects my work after I start working. I have taken many medicines and often adjusted my body, but they have no effect. After I drank a bowl of soup here last night, I didn't feel much pain at the time. After I went back home after eating, I didn't feel any pain at all. I should have asked for leave today, but I didn't feel any discomfort at all. I have been working in the morning, and I took the time to come here to ask during lunch time. I want to learn how to make it myself."
Lin Jiu still shook his head, "You can't buy the ingredients and achieve the same effect."
"Where do you get your ingredients from?" a diner found the right moment to inquire.
Cheng Yiran's face suddenly turned red.
The store was very quiet. Although Cheng Yiran lowered her voice, she was still heard.
Lin Jiu said: "This is an exclusive channel and will not be disclosed."
The diner was just asking casually, not intending to get any useful information.
Cheng Yiran was at a loss. If she couldn’t buy the ingredients, she wouldn’t be able to make it even if she knew the ingredients.
"Then, can I just buy a bowl of soup?"
"The soup is a gift, not sold separately." This is the principle of the shop and cannot be violated.
"Boss, you're so ungentlemanly, you might not be able to find a girlfriend. Girl, come to my place and I'll treat you to a meal," a diner joked.
Cheng Yiran thanked him repeatedly and said it was not necessary.
Lin Jiu said: "This should be enough for you to take it once. If you feel pain again, you can come back. It doesn't matter if you don't take it often."
Cheng Yiran had no choice but to leave first. Only the large portion of seafood rice came with shrimp soup, and a large portion of seafood rice was almost her monthly salary. She couldn't afford it and was reluctant to eat it.
Old Master Song was also listening to their conversation. When he saw the girl leave, he picked up Secretary Jin's soup bowl and took a look. He saw two small red fungi in the bowl. He didn't know what kind of fungi they were, but the effect was so good.
Just like the silver fish meat, it had an immediate effect on Si Xu. Mr. Song had heard before that the silver fish was caught by the fishmonger himself, so could the ingredients in the store be caught and collected by the boss himself
No matter how Mr. Song thought about it, he felt that it was possible. The young boss had disappeared for more than ten days. Later, he heard that he had gone out to purchase goods, and after returning, he opened this Magic Fish Shop.
Mr. Song thinks that this place should not be called "Magic Fish Shop" but should be renamed "Magic Fish Private Kitchen".
The boss has such high requirements for ingredients, and the prices are not low either, not to mention the quality of the dishes, which are enough to support the word "private chef".
Old Master Song decided to go back and ask his grandson. If the boss of Moyu agreed, he could invest and help Moyu grow bigger and stronger. As long as it didn't go bankrupt and could continue to operate, anything would be fine.
My grandson depends on the food here to survive, so the shop must be kept running.
When the time came, Lin Jiu no longer received diners.
After seeing off the last batch of customers, Lin Jiu closed the store, collected the dishes, and sent them to the super smart kitchen for cleaning and disinfection.
Lin Jiu didn't think that the business of the small shop would get better for no reason. It should be that someone helped him promote it. And he could only think of Si Shen and Jiang Ge as the people with such great power.
Lin Jiu cleaned up the first floor and put everything in order, preparing to go to the bike shop to check out the bicycles.
As soon as I went out, I saw Chen Dong standing at the door of Chen’s Noodle House.
Chen Dong is of medium build, fat and sturdy. He had met Lin Jiu several times when he came to the store. Every time Chen Dong saw him, he turned around and went into the store and never spoke. But this time, when he saw Lin Jiu, he smiled and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Boss Lin just opened his business and his business is so good. He must have a lot of friends, right?"
"Not bad." If Si Shen and Jiang Ge were his friends.
Chen Dong couldn't help but click his tongue, "With such high prices, there are still so many people coming to eat. Your business is really good."
Lin Jiu didn't know how to respond, nor did he understand Chen Dong's purpose in taking the initiative to talk.
Lin Jiu was in a hurry to leave, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Dong saw that he seemed to be going out, "It's only a little after one o'clock and you don't want to do business?"
Lin Jiu: "I'm only open until one o'clock."
Chen Dong laughed and said, "Actually, I want to ask, where do you get your seafood from? I heard that the seafood is very fresh and delicious."
Chen Dong had been wandering outside, and when he heard the people coming out of the Magic Fish Shop mention that the seafood was fresh and delicious, he started to become interested.
The seafood in City A is all shipped from coastal cities. No matter how fast the transportation speed is, it is not as fresh as freshly caught seafood. Chen Dong suspected that the owner of the Magic Fish should have a way to buy high-quality seafood, so he wanted to try to ask.
Chen Dong's inquiry also reminded Lin Jiu that every time he came to the store empty-handed, the store always had seafood supplied, and it was so fresh. Someone with ulterior motives would definitely be suspicious, such as Chen Dong next door.
This won't work. Lin Jiu feels that he needs to think of a way, at least to keep up the appearances.
Lin Jiu was thinking about something, but Chen Dong misunderstood her. "I'm just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to tell me."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to Chen’s Noodle House.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Even if it was a misunderstanding, he just didn't want to make up stories to deceive people.
Lin Jiu walked away from the old street, thinking about a solution in his mind.
My cell phone rang, and when I answered it it turned out to be a call from "Chuangxing".
