It is nearly eighty miles from Songjiazhuang to the county seat, which is a bit far by walking.As usual, Jinbao first walked from the village to the town, and spent two Wen to board the mule cart back to the county before the seed trip.

The mule cart was much faster than the bullock cart, so within an hour, Jin Bao was standing in front of Desheng Restaurant.

Desheng Restaurant is located on Hongwu Street in the center of the county. Although it is not the largest restaurant in the county, the owner who can open a shop on Hongwu Street naturally needs connections and money.

Aunt Li's man is Song Ting, a well-known mason in the town, and now his eldest son Yuan Bao follows him to learn this craft.The second son, Jin Bao, spent money and entrusted talent to send him to Desheng Restaurant as an apprentice.

Jin Bao is an apprentice in the back kitchen, he is willing to endure hardships, even if he peels potatoes for a day, he will not show any dissatisfaction or slackness.After working in the back kitchen for two months, he was chosen as an apprentice by a pastry chef in a restaurant.

The master's surname is Zhang, and he has a daughter and no children, so he is taught as a half-child and treats him very well.He also respected his master, Jin Bao wanted to come to talk to his master today, but he didn't expect it to be in vain, the master's family has something to do, and he won't start work until tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Chef Zhang tasted the melon seeds brought back by Jin Bao, and it was indeed delicious.

"The taste is strong, fresh and sweet, without the wet or burnt taste of fried melon seeds sold in the market. I knocked some, and I didn't feel dry mouth and tongue."

Chef Zhang stretched out his hands to pick out the melon seeds again, and said, "The melon seeds are evenly sized, thick and plump, and there are no impurities, and there are very few empty shells and seeds. They seem to have been carefully selected!"

Chef Zhang is full of praise from his experience as a chef for many years.

Jinbao then recounted Yi Ren's comments on roasted seeds and nuts to Chef Zhang. Of course, he didn't say anything about using river sand to cook fried seeds and nuts.

"Hi! Look at my memory!" Jin Bao slapped his head, remembering that Song Yiren wrote the note, he was so excited that he forgot such an important thing!Jin Bao took out the yellow paper.

Chef Zhang's ancestors have been chefs for several generations, and his family is fairly wealthy, so he can naturally read.I saw the note said:

Types of roasted seeds and nuts: Jiudenglian melon seeds, pumpkin melon seeds, hickory nuts, golden chestnuts, peanuts, etc. can be made.

Advantages of Yiren Roasted Seeds:
[-]. Crispy and mellow, with a sweet aftertaste.

[-]. Big, bright color, full grain.

[-]. The shell is thin and easy to knock, the dry humidity is just right, and it is not easy to dry mouth and tongue.

"You just said that this was made by a woman? The note was also written by that woman?" Chef Zhang asked Jin Bao after reading the note.

"Yes, she is the younger sister of the neighbor's family. She is married and her name is Song Yiren." Jin Bao confessed truthfully.

After hearing this, Chef Zhang couldn't help but look at the note in his hand, and wondered in his heart: Although there are a few mistakes in the words on this note, this word... is wide in both directions and vertical, and the middle is as thin as a gossamer. Smart and elegant, but without losing...strength..., the note is so rare, and this roasted seeds and nuts are even more rare.

What a rare person!Chef Zhang sighed in his heart.

In fact, Song Yiren wrote about the thin gold body. She likes the thin gold body very much, so she has worked hard in modern times, practicing Sanjiu in winter and summer in summer. Naturally, she has some experience in thin gold body.

But there is no such font in this era, so Chef Zhang doesn’t know about it, he just thinks it looks good.

Chef Zhang used to be a pastry chef in a theater, and later came to Desheng Restaurant. Naturally, he knows that roasted seeds and seeds are only available in places where the cost is relatively high or where dignitaries come and go. Popular, but high quality and high price, ordinary people can't afford it.

Now that the roasted seeds and nuts are of good quality and the price is right, it is perfect!He has some authority to purchase materials in his hand, and he can pay money without mentioning it to the big shopkeeper.So he immediately ordered Jinbao: "Jinbao, today is fifteen, the restaurant is busy, you can go back to the village tomorrow and see if you can bring back fifty catties, no, tomorrow, if you can come back tomorrow!"

"Hey! Master!"

"The restaurant will test the sale first, and the other roasted seeds and nuts she mentioned, if there are any, each one will cost three to five catties!"

"Okay! Master, there is an uncle in our village who sells vegetables on this street. I will ask him to take a message back to Yiren's sister and ask him to prepare it in advance!" He said while running out.

Aunt Li didn't tell Jinbao where Yiren sells cakes, so Jinbao can only pin his hopes on Uncle Qing on the handlebars.

"Slow down, you're still flabbergasted at this age!" Chef Zhang stood at the door and shouted with a smile.

The vegetable seller uncle Jin Bao was talking about was Uncle Shiqing, the car handlebar. He rushed to Hongwu Street in a hurry, but found no one.After asking someone, I found out that just after Uncle Qing left, Jin Bao trotted after him.Uncle Qing was driving an ox cart, so he was much slower.

Looking at the rear of Uncle Qing's car in front of him, Jin Bao let go of his voice and shouted, "Uncle Qing! Uncle Qing! Stop!"

Uncle Qing looked back: Oh, isn't this the second child of Song Ting's family!Quickly pulled the car to a stop.

Jin Bao caught up with his uncle, but he saw Song Yiren in the car at a glance.He was panting from running, holding on to his knees only to pant.

"Second boy of the Ting family, you want to go back to the village?" Uncle Qing said with a smile. "It's okay, don't worry, you can talk about it later!"

"Uncle... Uncle, I won't go back... Please... bring a message to... my mother." Jin Bao kept an eye out, fearing that sending a message to Song Yiren would cause unnecessary trouble for her, and she was also afraid that she would stir up melon seeds. His craftsmanship was exposed, and he also knew that the Ma family opposite his house was not good, especially the Zheng family.So he only said to bring the message to his mother, and he thought that Yi Ren would understand it after hearing it.

"Let's say melon seeds... fifty... fifty catties, and if there are others... three to five catties. I'll go back tomorrow...tomorrow to pick them up, the day after tomorrow at the latest!" He gasped for a while before saying.

"What do you want so many melon seeds for?" Uncle Qing became curious. These are either rich people picking up high-quality food, or they are cheap but not very delicious, and ordinary people don't eat them.

Jin Bao was still not very good at lying, so he could only dress roughly and waved his hands to signal Uncle Qing that he was out of breath.

Uncle Qing didn't ask any more questions, he only promised to bring the message, and then drove the bullock cart to continue away!

After listening to Jin Bao's words, Song Yiren immediately understood: the stir-fried melon seeds have been approved by the restaurant, and the next step is to see the effect of the "trial marketing" of the fried seeds!
