With such a good gimmick, it would cause a big commotion in Huai County.

Just by listening to it, one could tell that this bean sprout was a rare thing. If any shop could really make it, it would definitely bring their business to a new level.

However, no one knew where this yellow beansprout had come from.

Later, when Fang Yuan’s attendant had drunk too much and bragged to others, he revealed that the first serving of soybean sprouts had been made by an inn in Wangshan Town.

Not only did he get to eat the soybean sprouts, but he also got to taste the other two delicacies, tofu, and dried bean.

Especially the tofu. Whether it was tofu soup, chicken tofu soup, or even fried tofu, they were so delicious that one would ask for seconds!

However, the chef couldn’t tell how this thing was made.

Helpless, they could only go and negotiate with Manager Li, hoping that he could reveal which prestigious family had found this ingredient.

Manager Li concealed this information from Zhao Zhan.

Manager Li only wanted to keep it a secret for a few days. When he had earned enough money, he would introduce Zhao Zhan to the other managers of Huai County. At that time, he would do Zhao Zhan a favor.

Manager Li could tell that Zhao Zhan definitely had more than this. Offending him would not do him any good.

Manager Zhou of the Huai Jing Inn had already thought of a lot of things. When he spoke again, his attitude was even more humble. “If you wish to order that, we do not have it. If you wish to provide some information about the new dishes, we can talk about it in detail inside.”

Zhao Zhan shook his head and did not reveal his identity. “I can provide you with a new dish that is not inferior to their inn, if you are willing to lend me your kitchen.”

How could he not be happy? He immediately asked the waiter to inform the kitchen to make room no matter what, and he personally followed them in.

What Zhao Zhan wanted to make was steamed pork ribs.

The main purpose of coming to Huai County was to buy things for his sweetheart, and the other purpose was to earn a sum of money.

Last night, he took Yang Dashan and his wife to the thatched house at the foot of the mountain to grind all the materials bought from the pharmacy into powder. Then, according to the ratio told by his sweetheart, he ground the glutinous rice and rice into powder together.

After everything was done, Zhao Zhan used oil paper to wrap up all the powder and put it into the basket.

There were good ribs in the back kitchen, and Zhao Zhan skillfully set up a pot and boiled water to cook the steamed meat.

After doing all this, he used the soup stock from the kitchen and filtered the oil three times, leaving only the clear soup. Then, he cooked a bowl of noodles and covered it with some vegetables and poached eggs.

After the noodles were done, the steamed meat was taken out of the pot.

“Manager, this dish is for you to try. If you’re satisfied, let me know later.”

He was afraid that the noodles in his bowl would fall off if he waited too long, so he hurriedly finished speaking and went upstairs with the noodles without waiting for Manager Zhou to speak.

Yue Jiaojiao lay down for a while, and the nauseating feeling she felt was alleviated by quite a bit.

When she heard the door open, she walked over and opened it. She saw Zhao Zhan, who was sweating profusely, and hurriedly reached out to take the bowl.

“Be careful, go sit on the chair and wait for me.” Zhao Zhan dodged Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and strode over to the table to put the bowl down. “You’ll feel more uncomfortable if you eat greasy food now. I’ve cooked you a bowl of noodles.”
