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

Chapter 92 In broad daylight, pulling and tugging at each other, what kind of behavior is this?

Lin Houde screamed and covered his face, "You, why did you hit me?"

The constable didn't even glance at him before lashing out with his whip again, yelling, "I'm beating troublemakers like you!"

Lin Houde was startled and quickly covered his face and jumped away.

The constable didn't continue to make things difficult, but instead stared at Lin Houde menacingly and warned, "You better behave yourself, or you'll regret it."

They say his brother has connections with the county magistrate. If that were true, would the higher-ups have specifically instructed them to "treat him well"?

It's just that the new county magistrate doesn't practice cruel punishments; otherwise, he wouldn't still be standing here talking right now.

It's really shameful that they dare to try and deceive him.

However, since they couldn't easily take action, there were plenty of people below who could. So, as the constable was leaving, he deliberately winked at the other prisoners in the same cell.

The constable hadn't gone far when he heard a wail behind him.

The constable smirked. There were others to deal with the troublemakers. Those people knew their own strength and wouldn't kill anyone. So, he pretended not to hear and quickly left to continue drinking with his colleagues.

Sihai Restaurant, Bai Shaoan was right, both the ingredients and the kitchen utensils here are more complete than those at Gujia.

Grilled fish is considered too spicy, so Lin Chang'er saw a fish head in the kitchen and decided to make chopped chili fish head. She also asked the chef from Sihai Restaurant to slice the fish head into thin noodles. After plating the fish head, she added the noodles to it.

Steamed clams with eggs is all about skill; it doesn't actually require much technique. Now, Lin Chang'er no longer avoids the chefs when signing contracts with Sihai Restaurant.

I also made dry pot chicken, braised lamb chops, egg yolk pumpkin, and scallion oil bok choy. Finally, to satisfy Bai Shaoan's request, I made a seafood platter.

Seven dishes for four people is already considered a luxury.

When Lin Chang'er washed her hands and took her seat, Pei Sihai's gaze towards her became even more ardent. "Did Miss Lin make all these dishes?"

Lin Chang'er told the truth, "The chef sliced ​​the noodles. This job is time-consuming and requires good knife skills. Young Master Bai also helped out."

Bai Shaoan said with a smug look, "I washed the fish head and bok choy, I killed the chicken, I washed the bok choy, and I cracked the eggs. Uncle Pei, eat more for lunch."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of noodle with his chopsticks and exclaimed with delight, "Delicious! This is the best noodle I've ever eaten."

Wu Qingfeng said, "You'll still say that tomorrow."

Bai Shaoan wasn't embarrassed at all when he was exposed. He just said, "Hehe, isn't that right? Lin Daiyu always brings us surprises!"

"I think this fish head will sell like hotcakes if we promote it."

Pei Sihai also tried a piece and was immediately impressed by the chewy texture of the noodles and the freshness of the fish soup. However, he said, "Miss Lin, this dish is a bit spicy and may not be suitable for coastal areas."

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Uncle Pei, have you forgotten that we can adjust the spiciness? We just need to ask when the customers order. Whether they like spicy, sweet, or sour, we can satisfy them."

Spicy and sour fish, sweet and sour fish—there's nothing we can't make if our customers can imagine it.

Upon hearing this, Pei Sihai immediately poured a cup of tea, holding it with both hands. "Miss Lin is right. I was too narrow-minded. I'll offer you a toast with tea instead of wine. I hope you will help our restaurant prosper in the future."

Lin Chang'er didn't hesitate and picked up her teacup. "Uncle Pei, you're too kind. It's you who helped me make money."

All four of them thoroughly enjoyed their lunch.

There's an auction this afternoon, so they made sure to have lunch early today.

After they finished eating, the invited gourmets arrived one after another.

Pei Sihai invited a total of 20 people, but inevitably some brought their families or relatives to broaden their horizons.

So although not all of them were present, there were still 20 people.

Pei Sihai then arranged for the tables to be divided into two, and the dishes were decided by Pei Sihai and Lin Chang'er based on the diners' preferences.

The cold dishes include drunken dates, boiled mutton, boneless spicy and sour chicken feet, green beans and small yellow croaker, a meat and seafood platter, braised lamb chops, braised duck, dry pot chicken, grilled fish, braised deer, and Solomon's seal pork rib soup. The vegetarian dishes include egg yolk pumpkin, scallion oil bok choy, garlic wild vegetables, and osmanthus-flavored lotus root. Each person also has a bowl of steamed clam eggs. There is also a dessert of celery and meat pie.

Seafood is the specialty, while the other dishes, although not particularly special in terms of ingredients, are all about the cooking methods. Several of the dishes were eaten by diners for the first time.

Therefore, when Pei Sihai went over to offer a toast at the banquet, he heard them praising him endlessly.

"I really didn't expect that such a small coastal town would have such good food. This dry pot chicken is truly the most delicious chicken dish I have ever eaten."

"Haha, good wine needs no bush. This seafood platter is really fresh, and the sweet lotus root with osmanthus is also delicious."

"If you ask me, every dish is excellent. Brother Pei should have invited us here long ago. Why did you wait until now?"

"After you've won the bid for this golden eel, would it be possible to have your restaurant prepare it for you?"

Pei Sihai stroked his beard. "Whatever you'd like to eat, as long as it's within my power, I can certainly prepare it for you."

"That's good, that's good!"

There were even those who wanted to poach the chef, saying, "I wonder where Brother Pei found this master chef? Could you perhaps part with him?"

Pei Sihai laughed and said, "I didn't poach him. Our Third Master found him. He's not a cook either. He's another owner of our Sihai Restaurant. I can't make that decision."

He brought up Wu Qingfeng, and the diners dared not delve any further into the topic.

Fearing he might spoil their fun, Pei Sihai seized the opportunity to say, "Although I cannot relinquish this chef's position, I guarantee that your trip will not be in vain, regardless of whether you manage to bid for the golden eel or not."

At the auction, Pei had also prepared another surprise for everyone.

"Oh, really? Brother Pei, why don't you give me a hint first?"

Pei Sihai chuckled ingratiatingly, "Wouldn't saying this lower everyone's expectations?"

Upon hearing this, the diners laughed and said, "In that case, Brother Pei, please don't disappoint us."

Pei Sihai cupped his hands in greeting, "Please rest assured, everyone. I have other preparations to make. Please enjoy your meal and drinks."

"Brother Pei, please go ahead!" the diners returned the greeting.

After Lin Chang'er finished cooking and came out of the kitchen, Bai Shaoan approached her mysteriously and said, "Sister Lin, Third Brother said that you will take 30% of the profits from Sihai Restaurant from now on, making you one of the owners of Sihai Restaurant. You will attend the auction with us."

Lin Chang'er hummed in response. With Bai Shao'an creating the atmosphere, the shrewd Uncle Pei handling the auction, and Young Master Wu keeping things in order, what was she supposed to do? She just wanted to cook.

Besides, although the original owner's family was quite wealthy, she only brought two sets of clothes with her when she escaped from the Lin family.

Lin Zixi had taken all the others, and although her clothes weren't exactly shabby, they were hardly presentable when she stood next to them.

Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "You guys take care of things, I'll just stay in the kitchen."

"Third Brother has prepared everything, Sister Lin, please don't refuse!" Bai Shaoan said, pushing her back with both hands and leading her upstairs to the private room.

Lin Chang'er was being pushed along when suddenly someone stopped them, "What are you doing? In broad daylight, pulling and tugging at each other, what kind of behavior is this?"
