After selling fish for two days, Li Xia's fish stall has accumulated many regular customers.

The wild fish is delicious, Li Xia sells it cheaply, and the people are warm and cheerful, so it is very popular.

Not long after the stall was set up, people started to come around one after another.

"Yo! Boss, you are very punctual when you leave the stall!"

"Bring me a carp today. I want it to be over a pound!"

"okay!"Li Xia fished out one and weighed it. The weight was right, so he put straw through the gills to lift the fish and hung it on the scale.

"One pound weighs sixty taels, so you give me one dollar and two cents. After collecting the money

, someone immediately said:"Boss, these two crucian carp should be alive and kicking. Eat them in two days.""

"Pick a big grass carp for you!"

"Boss, please bring two kilograms of river shrimps."

……

Within ten minutes of Li Xia setting up his stall, he was already surrounded by customers.

It is in obvious contrast to other stalls.

Other stall owners could only watch, sighing from time to time.

There are more and more customers buying fish, and the scene is very noisy.

But the movements in Li Xia's hands were orderly and not panicked at all.

He also remembered exactly which customer asked for how many fish, and made no mistakes.

Almost two hours.

Almost all the fish were sold, with only a few small crucian carp remaining, less than five taels.

We also sold a lot of shrimps, more than 20 kilograms of shrimps, and only a little more than one kilogram was left.

As for eels and loaches, they were sold in relatively small quantities, only about four or five kilograms in total.

There are quite a lot of eels, about fifty kilograms.

Li Xia sells it for 65 cents per catty, which is not expensive, but it's a pity that the sales volume is not good.

Not many people eat eels and loaches.

Maybe most people don't know how to do it.

Li Xia put it on for a while, and then two customers came and bought the last fish and shrimp.

This time, I sold a total of about 91 kilograms of fish, earning 70 yuan and 98 cents.

There are about 22 kilograms of river shrimps, which are sold for one yuan and two cents per kilogram, and the income is twenty-six yuan and four cents.

The eel and loach weighed about five and a half kilograms, and the income was three yuan and fifty-seven cents.

The total income was one hundred and eleven cents.

Li Xia was a little excited, and his daily income exceeded 100.

This is net profit.

For ordinary people, this income is terrifying.

After packing up his things, Li Xia drove the donkey cart and prepared to go around Dongda Street.

If I remember correctly, there is an eel noodle restaurant on East Street. The owner is from Sioux City and moved here three years ago.

I have been making eel noodles for many years, my skills are good, and the noodle shop business is also very good.

Li Xia drove the donkey cart to the door of the eel noodle restaurant.

He tied the reins to the wooden pillars of the awning and walked into the noodle shop.

"Young man, want to eat some noodles?"

"Well, boss, bring me a bowl of your signature eel noodles"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

It's not meal time, so there aren't many customers.

Not long after, a bowl of hot eel noodles was served.

The boss was short and had a mustache.

He rubbed his hands and said with a smile:"Young man, This is your first time here. Try my eel noodles. I’m sure you’ll come back to eat them tomorrow after you ate them today."

There is not much business now, the store is not busy, and the boss is talkative, so he sat down at the table next to Li Xia. The eel noodles in this restaurant look like a bowl of noodles in white soup.

In fact, the eel is buried under the noodles. In order for the eel meat to soak up the soup, the eel noodles come standard with two side dishes, one with shredded pork with pickled vegetables and one with shredded pork with green pepper, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness.

Li Xia nodded slightly, this eel noodle restaurant is very authentic Authentic.

After picking up the chopsticks and taking a few bites, the noodle shop owner on the side asked:

"How is the taste? Li

Xia nodded and said:"The eel is very big and well fried. The eel blood is removed very cleanly. It has a crisp and tender texture and a pretty good umami taste.""

The noodle shop owner's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:"Hey! I didn’t expect you to be an expert!"

Li Xia praised every word, and the noodle shop owner smiled happily and started chatting with Li Xia warmly.

"Boss, you are so good at your craftsmanship. You must have been making eel noodles for many years."

"Well, it’s been ten years. This bowl of signature eel noodles has been continuously summarized and improved. The current taste is finally popular with many people."

"Well, it tastes really good. Li Xia took a sip of the soup.

The noodle shop owner looked at Li Xia and asked,"Young man, are you good at cooking?""

Li Xia's comments just now are very professional. Most people can't say these words.

Most people can only say words like"delicious","delicious" and"fresh".

Therefore, the boss guessed that Li Xia is either a foodie or a cook.

"know a little."Li Xia laughed.

"you are too humble."

From Li Xia's expression, the boss can confirm that this young man must have two skills in cooking.

"Just now you just said that my eel noodles are good, can you tell me what needs to be improved on my eel noodles?"

The owner of this noodle shop is a perfectionist. He hopes that his eel noodles can become more and more perfect.

Today I met Li Xia, a more professional person, and he also wanted to listen to his opinions.

Li Xia thought about it and did not shy away. He said directly:

"I think that although the eel is fried to be crispy and tender, the meat is not firm enough, probably because the eel is not fresh enough."

As soon as these words came out, the boss's expression froze.

"You, you tasted it?"

He didn't expect that Li Xia's taste buds were so keen.

The key to cooking fried eel meat at high temperatures is to highlight the crispy and tender texture.

Even if the meat is not particularly firm, most people can't taste it.

But Li Xia tasted it.

He collects eels from farmers, and the supply is not fixed.

Today he collects about ten kilograms, and tomorrow he collects about twenty kilograms.

Sometimes he cannot harvest them, so he has to use eels that are not particularly fresh.

Although eels can be raised They will not die for more than ten days, but the ones raised in the water tank are definitely different from the ones caught in the fields.

"What else do you think is lacking?"

The noodle shop owner quickly asked again

"The noodles are not chewy enough, eel noodles and eel noodles. In the end, what I eat is noodles."

"The texture of the noodles is also very important. The boss frowned:"

My noodles are quite strong!" Li

Xia smiled and said,"Maybe it's because my requirements are relatively high. I think the chewy noodles will bounce back when you eat them."

The boss' eyelids twitched:"Breaking teeth?" Li

Xia nodded and said,"Because your noodle soup is high soup, the noodles cannot be served under cold water. It must be served under warm water. This will affect the taste of the noodles to a certain extent."

The boss's eyes widened:"Good guy!" You know this as well!

Li Xia smiled and said,"I'm drinking right now. Why can't I drink the broth?""

With that said, Li Xia picked up the bowl again and took a sip of noodle soup.

The boss patted his head:"Hi! Look at my brain"

"Okay, no more chatting, boss, how much is the eel noodles?"

"What money do you need! I'll treat you to a meal. Young man, please don't leave. Let's talk some more."

The boss was unhappy. He hadn't asked the most important question yet.

Li Xia said helplessly:"Look boss, I still have a barrel of aquatic products on my cart that I haven't sold yet. I have to sell it and go home."

The boss followed Li Xia out and took a look. There was a bucket full of eels and loaches in the plastic bucket on the trolley.

Isn't this a coincidence!!

"Where did these eels come from?"The boss asked

"I usually catch some fish from the river and sell them in the county town. When the fish are sold out, no one buys these eels and loaches. The boss slapped his thigh and said excitedly:"Then sell it to me. I just want to take it.""

"Boss, your eel noodle restaurant should have a fixed supply, right?"

"No, I also get it from a few farmers I know well. Sometimes those people are busy farming and don’t have time to catch eels, so sometimes they are out of stock, so I can only use eels that are not too fresh! Li

Xia smiled and said,"Then you can take it from me in the future. I go to the river to catch fish every day, and I can also catch a lot of eels!""

When the boss heard this, he was overjoyed.

This is really a sleepy pillow, and we hit it off immediately!

"What's your name, young man?"

"Li Xia"
