196 One Dish, One Business

“Who said we can’t rely on a single dish to do business?! We can rely on this dish to do business. In fact, after doing this business, we can support a large number of people! We can accommodate a lot of the people you mentioned previously!” Li Xiaoran became more and more excited.

“Husband, look, if I just sell fish in a shop, I’ll attract a lot of customers. However, the fish are all caught in rivers and lakes nowadays. Just these fish alone are not enough to do business. We can raise fish ourselves to do business. We need people to raise fish and the gra.s.s to feed fish, and we can also plant lotus roots in the fish pond. When the fish are grown, they can be sent to the shop to be killed. We need people to cut the fish, cook, and serve the dishes. We need people for all these!” Li Xiaoran said her idea.

Luo Cheng still did not understand Li Xiaoran’s words.

Boiled fish was indeed delicious, but it was not so delicious that many people were willing to eat it!

Seeing Luo Cheng frown and not speak, Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng would not understand if she said too much, so it was better to just do it.

“How about this?! Husband, let’s go buy a few fish and I’ll cook them for you. You’ll understand!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.

Before Luo Cheng could speak, He Houfa spoke first.

“There’s fish! There’s no need to buy them. Someone sent several fish over from the kitchen today!”

When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng heard this, they looked at He Houxue.

“Husband, who is he?” Li Xiaoran finally realized that there was someone else in the study and asked.

“I forgot to introduce you! Uncle He, this is my wife, Li Xiaoran.” As Luo Cheng spoke, he looked at Li Xiaoran and said, “Wife, this is Uncle He. His name is He Houfa. He’s the butler of our wine shop and also the butler of our house!”

Li Xiaoran immediately recognized him, so she smiled and nodded. “h.e.l.lo, Uncle He!”

“No, no. Greetings, Madam!” He Houfa quickly waved his hand and said.

“Uncle He, don’t be so polite. Just call her Xiaoran!” Luo Cheng teased.

“That’s right, Uncle He, just call me Xiaoran!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Alright, alright, I’ll call you that when there’s no one around!” He Houfa said with a smile.

“Uncle He, did you say that you bought fish today?” Li Xiaoran did not insist, so she asked about the fish.

“Yes, yes, yes. I met two teenagers selling fish outside today. I pitied them and bought them all!” He Horan said with a smile.

“That’s good. Let’s go get the fish now. I’ll see what dishes there are on the way!” Li Xiaoran said, “Let’s go, husband. You’ll know why I want to do this business!”

“Then can I follow?” He Houfa asked.

“Of course. Uncle He, let’s go together!” Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded.

Soon, the three of them went to the kitchen.

Seeing three big shots appear together, the two people in the kitchen were shocked.

He Houfa quickly told them to do their own things. Only then did the two of them heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the fish had been killed and cleaned, Li Xiaoran took out two big ones.

This time, Li Xiaoran did not divide the fish into bones or slice the hoe. Instead, she cut the fish into pieces.

After the fish was cut, Li Xiaoran added salt, cooking wine, and pickled onions and ginger.

While waiting for the fish to be marinated, Li Xiaoran took another pot and asked someone to prepare a large ca.s.serole.

All kinds of condiments were stir-fried in order. A pot of red soup was quickly brewed.

Li Xiaoran placed the boiled red soup in the ca.s.serole and then placed the ca.s.serole on the small stove at the side.

She asked someone to send the small stove and ca.s.serole to the courtyard with the best scenery in the house. Li Xiaoran put the marinated fish and some ingredients she had taken previously into a food box.

Soon, various ingredients were placed on the table in the courtyard.

The small stove was on the table now. There was a ca.s.serole on the stove.

Soon, the red soup in the ca.s.serole boiled. Li Xiaoran took the marinated fish and placed it in the red soup.

While cooking the fish, Li Xiaoran took out three bowls and placed some condiments and sesame oil in them.

“You still have to eat dipping sauce! With dipping sauce, the fish tastes better!” With that, Li Xiaoran placed the prepared dipping sauce in front of everyone.

The fish meat was easily cooked. It would be cooked after cooking for a while.

Li Xiaoran picked up a piece of fish and looked at it. After confirming that the fish was edible, she called Luo Cheng and He Houfa to eat together.

It had to be said that it was a pleasure to dip the fish in the sauce and then eat it.

The fish meat was tender and spicy. Coupled with the aroma of spring onions and condiments, it was tasty.

After Luo Cheng ate this fish, he realized that there were similarities and differences in the taste compared to the boiled fish he had eaten previously.

Overall, fish of this flavor was also very delicious.

It was He Houfa’s first time eating fish with this method, so he was naturally attracted by the taste of the fish.

As they ate, they cooked. Soon, the two fish were finished by the three of them.

“Sigh, I feel like I’ve just eaten a little. I’m not full yet!” He Houfa said reluctantly.

Luo Cheng nodded. That was what he felt.

“Don’t worry, we still have a table full of dishes!” Li Xiaoran said as she went to get the dishes on the table and placed them in the red soup of the ca.s.serole to continue cooking.

This time, there were pork ribs, meatb.a.l.l.s, and some vegetables.

The food tasted amazing after it was cooked.

“By the way, chicken feet, chicken gizzards, chicken intestines, and chicken blood, duck, and pig blood can all be cooked here. Husband, Uncle He, do you think anyone will eat such food?” Li Xiaoran asked as she ate.

“Definitely! If it were me, I would definitely come often! According to this consumption rate, the demand for fish will increase greatly in the future. We indeed need many people to raise fish!” He Houfa was a businessman to begin with. At this moment, he already understood what Li Xiaoran meant and was very confident in this business.

Luo Cheng also understood what Li Xiaoran meant and was thinking about something.

“Actually, the best thing about this business is that we won’t have to be picky about where we do it! We can do it anywhere! This way, no matter where we are, we can do this business and settle many people down!” Li Xiaoran threw out another benefit.

“But this kind of food business can be easily copied!” Luo Cheng said.

“Husband, I’ll say it again. We just have to control the taste and the quality of the fish! As long as the fish tastes good, we won’t have to be afraid that no customer will come!” Li Xiaoran said.
