Su Qingluan understood that asking her to "make a dish with ice" would definitely not be something like "smoothie" - that would be too simple, wouldn't it?
But if there are any tricks you can play with ice...
"Go and make me some fried ice cubes!" Xie Zian ordered, and then stared at Su Qingluan with a proud expression, as if "the raw materials are at hand, let me see how you can quibble" look.
As soon as Xie Zian said these words, there was a burst of gasping sounds around him. It was obvious that even the people watching the excitement felt that this request was too unreasonable and unbelievable.
Not to mention passers-by, but also the servants brought by Xie Zian, some of them secretly looked at Su Qingluan with sympathy and intolerance.
When Su Qingluan heard this request, she lowered her eyes and showed no expression. When Shopkeeper Liang saw Su Qingluan like this, he couldn't bear it and thought to himself: This is obviously Hongfu Tower's own business. The Su family's young lady has helped a lot, but she is not from Hongfu Tower after all. Why bring another person into trouble?
Thinking like this, Shopkeeper Liang gritted his teeth and clasped his fist towards Xie Zian and said: "Xie Xiaolangjun asked Liang to tell me that this young lady is not from Hongfu Tower, but she is a kind-hearted person, so she spoke out to help. I hope Xiaolangjun doesn't want to Care about..."
"Why shouldn't I care?" Xie Zian snorted coldly, "I don't care what kind of green onion she is, the moment she helps you, to me, you are the same person!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang..."
"Uncle Liang..." Su Qingluan pulled on Shopkeeper Liang's sleeve, "You also heard that we are on the same boat now, so -"
Su Qingluan suddenly turned to Xie Zian: "What does this young man want to do with the ice?"
"What?" Xie Zian was stunned again: Why did it feel like the woman in front of him didn't play her cards according to the normal rules?
"I mean," Su Qingluan explained, "Didn't Mr. Young want me to make fried ice cubes? What shape do I want for this ice cube? Do I want a dice block, a rhombus block, a hob block, a flower knife block, or... …”
"Stop, stop, stop..." Xie Zian waved his hand impatiently, "Are you here to name the dishes?"
"so……"
"Anything is fine, just deep-fried ice cubes. Stop stalling here!" Afterwards, his voice suddenly rose, "Don't think about cheating, otherwise I want you to look good!"
What else could Su Qingluan say? I could only salute again - I have to say, it was really frustrating to be forced to salute to a naughty child - and turned around to go to the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Liang and Xu Yuanwei also bowed to Xie Zian one after another and followed him out.
Shopkeeper Liang sighed with worry on his face: "Liang Youdao is very grateful to my virtuous niece for standing up today, but she dragged you into the water!"
Xu Yuanwei also changed his previous evasive attitude towards Su Qingluan and shook his head: "Miss Su, you shouldn't wade into this muddy water today."
At this time, Su Qingluan swept away his previous deep expression and smiled relaxedly at Shopkeeper Liang and Xu Yuanwei: "Uncle Liang and Chef Xu, please don't say that. You two heard it just now, and they have already regarded us as A grasshopper on a rope."
"But you could have..." Shopkeeper Liang hesitated.
"Do you want me to watch Hongfulou being made things difficult for nothing and do nothing?" Su Qingluan laughed, "As I said, I can't do this either from a moral or profit perspective."
Hearing this, shopkeeper Liang had a flash of tears in the corners of his eyes, and then sighed: "How can it be possible to do something as unheard of as deep-fried ice cubes - isn't there some 'low-temperature frying' method?"
Shopkeeper Liang asked Xu Yuanwei in the second half of his sentence, as if he was asking for help or confirming something.
Xu Yuanwei looked at Shopkeeper Liang's eyes and sighed: "How is it possible? No matter how low the oil temperature is, it is impossible to fry food without melting the ice cubes."
"It's not completely impossible." Su Qingluan smiled slyly, "Just now I reported the name of a series of various cuts, and as expected, the bear... the little man was impatient and gave me a loophole to take advantage of."
What a risk, the word "naughty kid" just came out of his mouth just now - Su Qingluan thought with lingering fear.
Fortunately, she braked in time to avoid "trouble coming from the mouth".
Hearing the implication of Su Qingluan's words, Shopkeeper Liang and Xu Yuanwei's eyes lit up and they exchanged glances. Shopkeeper Liang immediately asked: "What do we need to do?"
Su Qingluan nodded secretly. Shopkeeper Liang is indeed someone who has dealt with all kinds of religions, and he is indeed quick to respond.
Now, she was no longer polite and said to shopkeeper Liang: "Uncle Liang, please prepare a pound of soybean oil for me - sesame oil is also fine."
"Soybean oil? Flax oil?" Shopkeeper Liang was stunned, "Niece Xian wants to ask God to worship Buddha?"
Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the difference between this era's "use of vegetable oil" and modern times, and quickly explained: "Actually, these two oils can also be used for cooking."
Xu Yuanwei nodded: "I know that. I usually use some when making steamed buns."
Su Qingluan nodded, then shook his head: "I want to use these fried things."
"Can't it be fried with lard?" Shopkeeper Liang was curious. He was still not used to using soybean oil and flax oil for purposes other than offering oil lamps.
"To make lard-fried food, you need to refine the oil first, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Just use soybean oil or flax oil." After Su Qingluan finished speaking, he turned to Xu Yuanwei and said, "Master Xu, please go to the ice cellar where ice cubes are stored and get some. Here comes the ice cube - be careful, when taking the ice, try to keep the ice cube intact and don't break it too much."
After saying that, she rushed towards the kitchen.
The chef probably knew about the accident that happened earlier, so as soon as Su Qingluan entered, everyone gathered around and asked questions.
"Everyone should perform their own duties, and don't delay the dining of other guests!" Su Qingluan said loudly, and everyone calmed down - after all, in the kitchen, whoever is better and who is better, everyone has long recognized Su Qingluan She has excellent cooking skills, so when she speaks, everyone except Qian Liu and others can listen to a few words.
Su Qingluan took two more eggs, beat them in the bowl, and scattered them with chopsticks.
Shopkeeper Liang moved very quickly. Su Qingluan had just scattered the eggs, and he had someone come back with a wooden bucket.
Su Qing lowered his head and asked - well, it smells like "stupid soybean oil"!
If the matter is resolved later, I must ask Uncle Liang to give me a bucket of soybean oil - thinking this, Su Qingluan smiled and thanked Shopkeeper Liang.
At this moment, Xu Yuanwei came to the kitchen with several ice cubes ranging in size from fists to pigeon eggs. In order to prevent the ice cubes from melting, Xu Yuanwei not only used a large wooden tray to hold the ice cubes, but also covered it with ice cubes. A cover to prevent "cool air" from escaping into the hot surrounding air.
Xu Yuanwei was a little worried: "Are these enough?"
