Chapter 69 - 68: Finding a House, Relying on Support
"But our funds are limited, and I’m not sure how much it would cost to rent a big house in the city." This is what Lin Wan was most worried about.
At this time, hotpots didn’t have induction stoves, and gas was also hard to come by, so coal stoves were the only option. Fortunately, there was no shortage of coal stoves here.
However, coal stoves with a hole in the middle were rare. By that time, the stoves and tables would have to be custom-made.
After discussing with her brother, Lin Wan started another event in the store, as she needed money now.
Although they had a food truck, they couldn’t stop others from imitating. Now, nearby restaurants were starting to imitate them.
Lin Wan wasn’t afraid of imitation; she knew the dishes made by a few places couldn’t compare to their family’s.
Last week, Lin Wan added a new dish to the lunchtime menu, which was braised noodles.
There were a lot of people eating braised noodles at lunchtime. Among the competitors, none could compare to their family.
In her spare time, Lin Wan bought a lot of spices and chili powder at the market. When she got home, she wrote down the hotpot base recipes she remembered.
In the evening, after Mom had finished frying the leftover meat, Lin Wan began simmering the base in a pot.
For the past few evenings, Lin Wan didn’t let Liang Hongmei eat at the store. She brought back dishes and used her homemade base for the hotpot.
