I'm not human anymore

Chapter 18

Lin Jiu opened the door and entered the store, took out a small wooden sign and hung it on the store door.

Everyone looked at the business hours. Lunch starts at 11 o'clock and ends at 1 o'clock. This is not the attitude of doing business at all.

People with a bad temper turn around and leave on the spot. Isn't their time precious?What delicious food haven't they eaten?I have never seen such an arrogant store, so I left.

The cars that were stuck in the traffic jam finally started to move, and half of the people chose to leave.

The rest of the people either had time or were attracted by the boss's personality. The more personality the boss had, the more curious they were about what kind of delicacy it was, so that the picky Jiang Ge could say that.

Lin Jiu took out the chalk and wrote down today's dishes on the small blackboard:

Paella (small portion) / 298 yuan

Seafood rice (medium portion)/1098 yuan

Seafood rice (large portion) / 3998 yuan

Crab porridge (single person) / 1698 yuan

Crab porridge (double) / 2998 yuan

Sashimi platter (standard) / 8998 yuan

Lin Jiu opened the door, put the small blackboard outside, and found that the old man in the wheelchair had left, so he went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

The people waiting outside saw that there were only three choices, and the prices were not low. They didn’t really want to eat these people, and some of them left. The rest were curious people with money and time. They can afford to wait.

Lin Jiu was busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner. When the time came, he opened the store door and opened the door for business.

To Lin Jiu's surprise, the old man in the wheelchair appeared again, and he was pushed in by an elite man.

Lin Jiu reminded, "Look at the dining rules first, and order at the bar."

The people who came in were shocked by the four dining rules. What kind of rule is this?It’s fine if you don’t make an appointment and don’t take out, and it’s understandable if you don’t accept ordering. After all, some private chefs also have this rule, but don’t ask what the ingredients are?How do you know what you're eating if you don't ask them?

Someone couldn't accept it, and immediately turned and left.

Lin Jiu didn't care, if the dining rules were posted, some people would definitely accept them and some would not, that's normal.

The old man said: "Give me a portion of today's dishes."

Lin Jiu: "Are you eating alone? One person may not be able to finish it, and the shop refuses to waste it."

The old man suddenly smiled, "Two people, my secretary and I, you look at the preparations."

Secretary Jin had already pushed Mr. Song to his seat. Mr. Song stood up and sat on the sofa chair. His legs were not unable to walk, but his old age and spleen and stomach function gradually weakened, which caused weakness in his legs and feet, and he was easy to fall when walking. It would be terrible if he fell, so Si Xu asked him to use a wheelchair as much as possible.

Lin Jiu also found that the old man's legs and feet were intact, but he was trembling when he stood up, and he was a little unsteady. It must be a disease caused by old age. He didn't ask any more questions and prepared meals for the two of them.

Those who accepted the meal rules all found a seat and sat down. They all ordered a large portion of paella, obviously very hungry.

Lin Jiu delivered the meals in the order they were ordered, first to the old man's table.

Lin Jiu brought down a large bowl of paella with rich content, put it in front of Secretary Jin, and brought down the fresh shrimp soup as a gift.

Mr. Song was given a casserole for one person, and then a sashimi platter.

Lin Jiu opened the casserole for the old man, and the rich aroma wafted out, and the golden porridge was dotted with green.

"Green crab porridge nourishes the body and stomach, and is easy to digest. It is better for you to eat this."

The old man picked up the wooden spoon and took a sip. Last night, Si Xu told him that the creamy crab porridge from the Demon Fish Shop was absolutely delicious.

I didn't expect to eat it today.

The creamy crab porridge made by Lin Jiu is filled with the crab roe and crab paste and crab leg meat of the devil's claw crab. There is also horned shrimp tail minced meat in it. The delicious fragrance is melted into the thick cornrow rice porridge. .

It only takes one sip, and old man Song knows that this young man's craftsmanship is amazing.

Mr. Song looked at the sashimi platter again, and recognized the silver fish at a glance. He saw his grandson had eaten it many times, but he himself hadn't tasted it. Come here today, so he can have a good taste. It can make his grandson recover. What kind of fish is it? What's the taste.

Pick up a piece of thick-cut silver tilapia meat, put it directly into your mouth without any seasoning.

Mr. Song tasted it carefully, the taste was very good, the meat was delicate and smooth, with the unique deliciousness of fresh sea fish, and it had an unspeakable taste more than sea fish.

It's amazing, after one sip, I really enjoy it very much, my whole body seems to be stretched out, the whole body is comfortable and very comfortable.

This is no longer a taste enjoyment, but a physical and spiritual enjoyment.

For people who are busy all day, sitting down and eating such a delicious meal can relax the sense of taste, body and mind.

It really deserves the praise of "dream food".

Mr. Song savored the food in a leisurely manner, and Lin Jiu went to attend to other guests.

A portion of paella and fresh shrimp soup was delivered, and the store was very quiet, except for the sound of eating.

Everyone was concentrating on tasting the food and had no time to talk. When it was time to check out, they would not hesitate to say "delicious", and light wax for those who left, hoping that they would not regret it.

Cheng Yiran opened the door and came in, and was a little surprised to see that the store was almost full.

She walked to the bar, hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Lin Jiu looked up and recognized her as one of the two girls from last night, "Hi, what would you like to eat?"

Cheng Yiran was a little embarrassed, "Well, can I ask, what are the ingredients for the soup you sent last night?"

Lin Jiu was expressionless, "Please read the third rule of dining rules."

Of course Cheng Yiran knew the rule of not asking about the ingredients.

She was even more embarrassed, "I know, I just, I just want to ask about the ingredients, and I want to go back and try to make it myself."

Lin Jiu said bluntly, "You can't do it."

Without the ingredients of the magic sea, it is impossible to cook the delicacies of the magic sea plane.

Cheng Yiran blushed a little, "I know that I can't make the same taste as in the store, but the effect is the same. I, I have dysmenorrhea all the year round, and every time I have menstruation, the pain will be so painful that it will last until the end of the menstrual period, and it will affect my study when I go to school. , After work, it affected my work. I have taken a lot of medicines and often adjusted them, but none of them worked. After drinking a cup of soup here last night, I didn’t feel much pain at that time. After eating, I felt no pain at all. I should ask for leave today, but I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, and I have been working in the morning, and I took the time to come over during lunch time to ask, and I want to learn how to do it myself.”

Lin Jiu still shook his head, "You can't buy the ingredients, and you can't make the same effect."

"Then where do you get your ingredients from?" Some diners took the opportunity to inquire about the news.

Cheng Yiran's face suddenly turned red.

The shop was very quiet, although Cheng Yiran lowered his voice, he was still heard.

Lin Jiu said: "The exclusive channel will not be disclosed."

The diners just asked casually, not intending to get any useful information.

Cheng Yiran had no other choice, if he couldn't buy the ingredients, even if he knew the ingredients, he couldn't make it.

"Then, can I just buy a cup of soup?"

"Soup is a gift, not just for sale." The principle of the small shop cannot be broken.

"The boss is so ignorant of pity and sympathy, so be careful not to find a girlfriend. The little girl comes to my place, and I will treat you to a meal." Some diners joked.

Cheng Yiran thanked her repeatedly and said no.

Lin Jiu said: "It should be enough to eat this once. If it hurts later, you can come back again. It doesn't matter if you don't need to eat often."

Cheng Yiran had no choice but to leave first, and the fresh shrimp soup was only served with a large portion of paella. A large portion of paella was almost her monthly salary, she couldn't afford it, and she was reluctant to eat it.

Mr. Song was also listening to their conversation. Seeing the girl leave, he picked up Secretary Jin's soup cup and looked at it. He saw two small red fungi in the soup cup. I don't know what species it was, but the effect was so good.

Just like the meat of silver luo fish, Si Xu also had immediate results. Mr. Song had heard that the silver luo fish was caught by the fish seller himself, so the ingredients in the shop would not all be picked by the boss himself, right?

No matter what Mr. Song thinks, he thinks it is possible. The little boss disappeared for more than ten days before, and later he heard that he went to buy goods. After he came back, he opened this small magic fish shop.

Mr. Song felt that this place should not be called "Magic Fish Shop", but should be renamed "Magic Fish Private Kitchen".

The boss has such high requirements for the ingredients, and the price is not low, let alone the dishes, which are enough to support the word "private chef".

Mr. Song decided to go back and ask his grandson. If the owner of Moyu agrees, he can invest and let the boss of Moyu become bigger and stronger.

The grandson can live on the rations here, and the small shop must continue to operate.

When the time came, Lin Jiu stopped serving diners.

After seeing off the last batch of customers, Lin Jiu closed the store, cleaned up the dishes, and sent them to the ultra-smart kitchen for cleaning and disinfection.

Lin Jiu didn't think that the small shop's business would improve for no reason. It should be because someone helped him promote it, and people with such great energy, except Sishen and Jiang Ge, didn't think about it.

Lin Jiu tidied up the first floor and arranged it neatly, ready to go to the dealership to look at the bicycles.

As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Dong standing at the door of Chen Ji Noodle Restaurant.

Chen Dong is of medium build, fat and stocky. Lin Jiu came to the store and met him several times. Every time Chen Dong saw him, he turned his head and went into the store. He never spoke. This time he saw Lin Jiu with a smile on his face. , actually took the initiative to speak up.

"Boss Lin has just opened the business, and the business is so good. He has a lot of friends, right?"

"It's okay." If Sishen and Jiang Ge were his friends.

Chen Dong couldn't help but click his tongue, "With such an expensive price, there are so many people coming to eat, your business is really good."

Lin Jiu didn't know how to answer the conversation, nor did he understand the purpose of Chen Dong's initiative.

Lin Jiu left in a hurry, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that he seemed to be going out, Chen Dong said, "You will stop doing business after one o'clock?"

Lin Jiu: "I'm only open until one o'clock."

Chen Dong laughed and said, "Actually, I want to ask, where do you get your seafood? I heard that the seafood is very fresh and plump?"

Chen Dong has been wandering around, and when he heard the people coming out of the magic fish shop mention the fresh and delicious seafood, he began to think about it.

The seafood in City A is all shipped from coastal cities, no matter how fast the transportation is, they are not as fresh as the ones just caught. Chen Dong suspected that the owner of the magic fish should have a way to buy high-quality seafood, so he wanted to try to ask. .

Chen Dong's inquiry also reminded Lin Jiu that every time he came to the store empty-handed, there was always seafood supply in the store, and it was so fresh that interested people would doubt it, such as Chen Dong next door.

This is not going to work, Lin Jiu thinks that he has to find a way, at least superficially.

Lin Jiu was thinking about something, but Chen Dong misunderstood, "I'm just asking casually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to Chen Kee Noodle Shop.

Lin Jiu: "..."

Misunderstanding is fine, but it just so happens that he doesn't want to make up nonsense to deceive people.

Lin Jiu left the old street on foot, thinking of a solution in his mind.

The phone rang, and when it was connected, it turned out to be a call from "Chuangxing".
