161: The Fragrant Carp Soup

The Fragrant Carp Soup

Without money, she could no longer buy the land, farm, or build a house. She had to find a way to get some more money.1

She couldn't sell any more tigers. There were only a tigress and Little White left on Mt. Da Ao. She wouldn't sell the tigress or Little White. Lin Yuelan didn't plan to go to other mountains to look for tigers either.

As for the other animals, they were not as valuable as tigers. Of course, there were also some rare animals and rare herbs on the mountain. However, these rare animals were intelligent enough to communicate with Little Green. Therefore, Lin Yuelan wouldn't hunt them. As for herbs, she was planting them in her space.

So, her only way to earn money was...

Lin Yuelan put down her chopsticks and said with a faint smile, "young master Liu, young master Zhou, I only know how to make some ordinary home-cooked dishes. If you like, I can make some. I hope you won't mind."

"Miss Lin, you're too polite and humble." Zhou Wencao hurriedly spoke to Lin Yuelan in a flattering manner. "It's brother Liu's and my honor to be able to taste miss Lin's cooking. "

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and was somewhat speechless at pretentious people like Zhou Wencai.

After that, Lin Yuelan was led to the big kitchen by Liu Qi.

The chefs and assistant chefs were a bit surprised by the arrival of their young master. What surprised them, even more, was that the young master seemed to have brought a young woman with him.

After everyone greeted Liu Qi respectfully, they all stopped what they were doing. They did not know why the young master had brought such a lady to the kitchen.

Liu Qi pointed at the kitchen and told Lin Yuelan, "Miss Lin, this is what we have in the kitchen. See what kind of dish you can make. I'll have them prepare the ingredients."

Lin Yuelan looked around the kitchen. It was quite spacious, and the ingredients were quite well-organized.

Seeing that there was a carp in the wooden bucket, she said, "I'll make a fish dish then!"

Hearing that Lin Yuelan was going to cook fish, Liu Qi was a little surprised. Fish was notoriously hard to cook. If not handled well, the fish would not smell or taste wood.

Yuelan Inn had steamed fish as their signature dish because they had a special technique to remove the fishy smell. However, Liu Qi understood the smell couldn't be removed completely.

Fish was a hard challenge. To make a fish dish without the fishy smell was impossible.

After Liu Qi recovered from his surprise, he reminded her gently and suggested kindly, "Miss Lin, I heard from brother little twelve that the braised rabbit meat you make is delicious. Why don't you make that? After all, fish is not easy to handle. "

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said with a smile, "Young master Liu, it's fine. I'll make a fish dish!" Her tone was very firm.

Liu Qi was helpless. He could only go along with it.

Master Yang, the head chef of Yuelai Inn, was slightly angry when he found out that Liu Qi had brought Lin Yuelan to the kitchen to cook. What nonsense was that? Lin Yuelan Inn's kitchen was a sacred place. Not everyone could enter it. What if his secret formula was stolen?

However, before master Yang could protest, he heard Lin Yuelan say that she wanted to prepare a fish dish. He was incredulous.

Master Yang immediately said angrily, "Young master, this is the kitchen. Outsiders are not allowed here. You're interrupting our work by bringing this woman here. You need to leave with her. Everyone's busy here!"

Master Yang was the head chef of Yuelai Inn. The business of Yuelai Inn had grown in the past few years, and it had a lot to do with his cooking. Even the young master, Liu Qi, had to be polite and respectful to him.

However, Master Yang had a bad temper. He was easily angered especially when he was disturbed while he was cooking. He would scold that person no matter who they were.
