    The next day, Gao Liang went to sell vegetables. This time she cooked a little less, trying to make some dishes that the other party didn't have, such as spiced dried tofu, spiced peanuts, and cold vermicelli. Of course, the most popular kelp shreds and kelp knots are indispensable.  .  Gao Liang still didn't lower the price. Firstly, her cost was relatively high, and secondly, she was not ready to admit defeat. She felt that her craftsmanship was worth the price.

    The old lady selling cold dishes is here again. The portions are much larger than yesterday. She must have tasted the benefits. After all, Gaoliang has opened the market long ago. Now she can attract many customers just by relying on the price advantage.

    Gaoliang¡¯s first order of business today was from an old customer who bought cold dishes there yesterday: ¡°My son said that the cold dishes I bought there yesterday tasted bad and unpalatable, but yours still tastes better, although  It¡¯s a bit expensive, but you still get what you pay for. Weigh half a catty of peanuts for me, and weigh the other half a catty together. The peanuts are packed separately. The child¡¯s father likes to use peanuts to drink wine.¡±

    Gao Liang smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, please wait a moment." Facts have proved that someone does know the goods.

    ¡°Probably because the dishes sold are not overlapping, or maybe because the other party¡¯s dishes are indeed not very delicious, the business in Gaoliang is much better today, and many old customers who bought cold dishes at that restaurant yesterday came back to buy more.  Because the quantity was small, Gaoliang's dishes were sold out just after eight o'clock. After she sold out, she went to the other party's stall to take a look and found that more than half of the dishes were still unsold.  Gao Liang thought to himself, it's good, let you taste my suffering yesterday.

    Cold dishes are just those ingredients, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pepper, chopped green onion, minced garlic, MSG, etc. It seems that there is no technical content, but the selection of materials, the proportion of seasonings, and the fine workmanship  , cooking techniques, etc. come together, resulting in huge differences in food tastes. This is why the same dishes and condiments taste so different when made by different people.  Not to mention the five-spice flavor. Everyone can make brine, but the specific spices and the ratio of spices are also very particular. A truly good brine in one pot can create a brand. This is why later generations have emerged.  There are so many cooked food brands with unique tastes.

    Gao Liang has learned how to make cold dishes and brine from professional chefs. Coupled with her talent in cooking, these are enough to make the food she cooks unique and unforgettable.  There was no comparison before and people didn't know about it. Now when the two cold dishes are compared, it highlights the uniqueness of Gaoliang's craftsmanship.  In a sense, the emergence of competitors serves as an advertisement for Gao Liang.

    In the next few days, the business in Gaoliang gradually stabilized, and the number of customers diverged a bit, but most of the old customers still prefer her family. After all, those who can eat cold dishes often can afford this little money.  Gao Liang felt quite relieved. Even if the other party took away some of her customers and her business was not as prosperous as before, the morning stall could still be set up. As long as she saved enough money, she could open a shop.  According to the current rate of making money, I should be able to save enough money to invest in a store this summer. Of course, the premise is that there is a store to invest in.

    One morning, Gao Liang and Gao Pan went out to set up a stall as usual.  It is almost the beginning of autumn. Although the weather is still hot, the temperature difference between morning and evening has become larger. The air in the morning is very cool. Although it is hard to get up early, Gao Liang still likes to work in the morning. After all, it is cool.

    Gao Liang yawned and pushed the cart on the deserted street. There was only the sound of the wheels turning and the sound of the two sisters walking.  Gao Liang actually quite likes this kind of environment. No one disturbs her. It seems like the whole world belongs to her and she can think about some problems.

    But it was not the case today. When I walked halfway, I met two people. To be precise, they were two boys, one tall and one short. It looked like they were no older than Gao Liang. The taller one should be about the same age as Gao Pan.  The short one is a little bigger than Gao Shan.  Gao Liang didn't think it was unusual at first, as he was not allowed to get up early if he had something to do.  But when they got closer, I realized that their walking posture was a bit weird, with their hands always behind their backs. The other party stopped in front of them, and the tall one looked at them: "Are you selling cold dishes?"

    This question is normal, but the tone is a bit wrong. It doesn¡¯t sound like a question, but like it¡¯s confirming something.  Gao Liang noticed something was wrong with his tone, and before he could answer, Gao Pan answered: "Yes."

    With this "yes", the opponent's right hand hidden behind his back suddenly took out, holding a short stick with a thick arm, and directly hit the glass of the cart with the stick, making a crisp "clang" sound  , the glass broke.  Gao Liang's hand holding the trailer was numb from the shock. She was startled and yelled: "What are you doing?" She rushed forward to stop him.  Gao Pan was so frightened that he hid back, shrunk and screamed, "Ah¡ª¡ª"

    The other party ignored Gao Liang at all. He raised his hand and pushed Gao Liang staggering. Only then did Gao Liang realize that the difference in strength between men and women was so big.I have always had a poor sense of balance, and I never learned how to ride a bicycle. Later I tried to learn to ride a motorcycle, but I nearly fell to death. Even after paying the tuition, I still didn¡¯t learn how to ride a motorcycle.

    ¡°It¡¯s easy to ride a bicycle. I¡¯ll teach you later.¡± Li Junyi offered.

    Gao Liang exhaled and hesitated for a long time: "Oh, okay."

    Li Junyi heard her hesitation and laughed: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't be able to throw you."

    Gao Liang smiled mockingly. It wasn't that he couldn't trust Li Junyi, but that he had too little confidence in himself.

    The two of them were talking and laughing all the way, and seemed to have endless things to say. Gao Liang was secretly surprised. It turned out that Li Junyi was quite talkative. Why did he think he was cold in the past?  He should be a person who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. He is aloof with people he is not familiar with, but very casual with people he is familiar with.

    When he arrived at the market, Li Junyi locked his car outside the market and followed Gao Liang with a basket. Gao Liang had the final say on what to buy, and he was responsible for paying. After all, Gao Liang was the chef. Occasionally, Li Junyi saw something he wanted to eat.  Gao Liang will buy the ingredients according to the dishes he wants to eat.

    When Gao Liang went to the grocery store to buy spices, Li Junyi saw her constantly picking up spices in different bags. The variety was staggering: "Do you know all of these?"

    "Well, this is nutmeg, and this is grass fruit, which is useful for making braised vegetables."

    Li Junyi had no choice but to stand aside obediently. He had no right to say anything about this and only had the right to wait for food.  After Gao Liang bought the spices, he went to the exit at the other end of the market to check. He found that the aunt selling cold vegetables didn't come to sell vegetables either. She didn't know if she was scared by Li Junyi and didn't dare to come, or she went somewhere else.  sold.  In fact, she could go to other places to sell. After all, there is more than one vegetable market in the county, and that family doesn't know how to turn around, so they will only go to the dark side.

    Li Junyi seemed to know what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I know where their home is, and they must pay for the money."

    Gao Liang said: "I just came to see if she was here to sell vegetables."

    Li Junyi nodded and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

    Gao Liang said: "Go buy fish now. You can go back after buying the fish." The fish should be bought fresh, bought back and raised, and then killed in the evening, so that the food will be fresh enough.

    Li Junyi looked at it and said: "Let's go have breakfast and then buy fish."

    Gao Liang wanted to say that it was still early and he could go back for breakfast, but finally agreed: "Okay."

    ¡°What do you want to eat, rice noodles, noodles or steamed buns?¡±

    Gao Liang pointed to a breakfast shop near the entrance of the market and said, "The Xiao Long Bao at that restaurant is delicious. I often eat at their place."

    Li Junyi looked at it and said, "Let's go have a bowl of rice noodles, and then order two steamed buns."

    Gao Liang nodded: "Okay." She rarely eats rice noodles because eating rice noodles takes time and is not as convenient as steamed buns.

    The weather was hot, and there were many people eating cold noodles. The two of them also ordered cold noodles. Li Junyi brought three more steamed buns over and placed one of them in front of Gao Liang. Gao Liang looked at the small steamed buns in front of him: "I  I can¡¯t eat so much.¡±

    "It's okay. If you can't finish it, give it to me." Li Junyi picked up two buns with chopsticks and took two in one bite.

    Gao Liang couldn't help but lower his head and be happy when he saw him, and his appetite improved when he saw him eating.  She stirred the jelly powder, then picked up a little and put it into her mouth to taste it, then whispered: "Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, these are the only ones."

    Li Junyi, who was eating rice noodles, looked up: "Huh?"

    Gao Liang said: "I'm talking about the spices in the cold marinade."

    Li Junyi looked at her in surprise: "What other ingredients can you eat?"

    "Yeah." This is Gao Liang's talent. She can taste the raw materials of almost everything she eats.

    "No wonder your cooking is so delicious. It turns out you have talent." Li Junyi became more and more curious about Gao Liang.

    Listening to him praising himself, Gao Liang smiled crookedly and was too embarrassed to answer any more questions.

    Gao Liang only ate two of Xiao Long Bao and couldn't eat anymore. Li Junyi rounded the rest. As he ate, he said, "Don't all chefs have an appetite?"

    Gao Liang was stunned: "Actually, it's okay, but I'm picky about taste." This feeling has become more and more obvious recently, especially after she concentrated on cooking.

    "What most people cook is not to your liking, right? Your family is blessed with delicious food." Li Junyi said with a hint of envy in his tone.

    Gao Liang pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay." In fact, she didn't cook every meal herself. Most of the time, Gao Pan and Gao Shan did the cooking, and they both understood her hard work.

    Li Junyi finished eating the last Xiao Long Bao and said, "Okay, have you bought all the vegetables? Let's go buy fish."

    Gao Liang looked at the vegetable basket. Two pig's trotters, a pig's tongue, a live duck and some duck gizzards and duck liver were enough for her work: "Okay." It's a pity that there are no separate chicken feet and duck feet for sale.  , otherwise it is richer.

    They went to the fish stall, and Gao Liang asked, "What kind of fish do you want to eat?"

    Li Junyi said: "The fish you cooked last time was delicious." The boiled fish he ate last time was almost cold, but it still tasted good, so he always wondered what it would be like to eat it while it was hot.

    Gao Liang nodded: "Then buy a grass carp and change the method to make pickled fish."

    Li Junyi had never eaten pickled fish, so he followed the good advice and said, "It's up to you." Anyway, Gao Liang would not disappoint him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Go buy fish.  "
