Although the preparation process for hot pot is relatively cumbersome, it does not require any sophisticated cooking methods and can be prepared quickly.
The only thing that is a little difficult is that Su Qingluan needs a little knife skills to cut the mutton, pig head and fish into thin slices.
Madam Xi has never really experienced Su Qingluan's cooking skills. She came to the kitchen a few times and couldn't help but marveled: "I have some experience from traveling all over the country. Madam Su, your knife skills are not the same as those in our town." Compared with chefs, even for wealthy families in the capital, the skills of the chefs at home are no more than this, right?"
Su Qingluan kept saying that she didn't dare, but Liu Yuniang over there was very proud to show off: "That's right, mother-in-law, you haven't seen the food that Qingluan gave to our family. Everything is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow it." Lose?"
Su Qingluan: ...That doesn’t have to be the case.
When Mrs. Yang brought Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan to Liu's house, Su Qingluan's meat slicing had basically come to an end. All that was left was cutting plates, preparing bases and seasonings, and making a few appetizers. Finishing touches.
So Yang and Mrs. Xi simply let the two older children take the two younger children to play in the yard, and the two hostesses became the main fighting force in controlling the kitchen.
There was a tinkling sound from the corner of the left wing of the yard, and occasionally a deep adult male voice was whispering something.
Su Qingluan whispered to Liu Yuniang: "It's been almost an hour since I came to your house, right?"
Liu Yunniang looked at the angle of the sun above her head and nodded: "Well, it's just a lot more."
"My father has such a boring temper, but someone can patiently chat with him for so long," Su Qingluan looked at Liu Yuniang, "Your Uncle Liu is really a god!"
Liu Yuniang herself was also curious: "Although my father said that he can chat with people from all walks of life when necessary, it is still rare to see him actively chatting with anyone for such a long time." Unless there is some benefit to be gained.
However, Su Guangfu was just a carpenter, so it was difficult to say what Yagyu could gain. Could it be that after spending half his life in the world, Yagyu finally plans to change his profession and become a carpenter’s apprentice? Liu Yuniang was so irresponsible in her mind about her father.
However, she had to make arrangements in her heart, and on the surface she still wanted to save some face for her father, so Liu Yuniang just smiled and said: "Maybe the uncle of the Su family just happened to have a bad temper with my father?"
Su Qingluan: ...I don’t know who my father’s saw-mouthed gourd character can get angry with.
Just as Su Qingluan had thought before, hot pot is actually a very inclusive diet - even if some people have different attitudes towards the soup base, it can still be improved through various seasonings and dipping dishes.
This is a way of cooking that doesn’t need to cater to anyone’s taste, but everyone can be satisfied.
After eating, the children were driven into the yard to play as usual, while the remaining four adults cleaned up the leftovers.
Su Xueyan has been obsessed with grid dancing recently. Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang had played with her several times before.
Later, the two older ones lost interest, but fortunately Su Xuanhe was aroused. Moreover, coupled with the strange desire to win among children, the two little guys had a great time playing.
So Su Qingluan simply let the two children play by themselves. She and Liu Yunniang slowly walked and chatted together in the yard.
"I see that Uncle Liu's legs can move much more freely." Su Qingluan's tone revealed joy, "It seems that it won't be long before he can return to normal!"
Liu Yuniang's tone was very cautious: "I don't expect my father's legs to return to the level before the injury, but I just hope that he can not be tortured on rainy days and can walk normally without affecting it."
It's not that she is pessimistic. In fact, she has encountered too many things before where she grasped a glimmer of hope but ended up being disappointed, which made Liu Yuniang particularly cautious about her father's body and easy to be satisfied.
Su Qingluan patted Liu Yunniang's back comfortingly: "Anyway, I finally got through the most difficult time."
Liu Yunniang didn't say anything when she heard this, she just sighed heavily as if she wanted to vent something, and finally nodded silently.
The air felt a little heavy for a moment, and Su Qingluan wanted to change the subject and find something lighter to say, but she didn't know what to say. Instead, Liu Yunniang asked about the whereabouts of the previous batch of jam: "Qingluan, although I haven't asked in detail, but looking at the materials used to package the jam, I'm afraid these target customers have a lot of background, right?"
Su Qingluan had no intention of hiding it from Liu Yunniang from the beginning, but if the other party didn't ask, she wouldn't go out of her way to explain it. Since Liu Yunniang mentioned it today, Su Qingluan pointed in the direction outside and whispered two words: "Capital."
Liu Yunniang took a breath when she heard this, and then instead of being excited and enthusiastic about the sudden windfall, she was a little worried: "I'm not throwing cold water on you. I have followed my parents to Beijing twice before. The virtues of those dandy children... …Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
There was clear disdain in Liu Yunniang's eyes: "They all look like humans, but they don't do a lot of human things, but a lot of dog things."
Su Qingluan was amused by her adjective, but she asked with great interest: "Why are you doing this 'dog' thing?" You can't just enclose your territory on the street like a dog, right?
Liu Yunniang said "tsk": "Don't talk about these disgusting things just after eating. Let's talk about your jam."
Su Qingluan: ...So what is so disgusting about it?
But the other party didn't want to go into details, so she just left it alone - it probably wasn't a good thing.
"I am quite confident about the jam I made." Su Qingluan was very confident. Not to mention anything else, in terms of "freshness preservation ability", Su Qingluan's jam is already outstanding, far better than those jams that rot and go bad in two or three days.
"In this case, one day when you make a lot of money, you must treat me to a big meal!" Liu Yunniang said with a smile.
In fact, most of what she said was a joke, but Su Qingluan suddenly thought of something: when talking about inviting her to dinner, Su Qingluan also wanted to treat Liu Yunniang to a thank-you banquet. The reason was that before thanking her, she far exceeded the remuneration she paid. dedication and effort.
But speaking of this thank you banquet, there is another party - Mu Xingzhi, who was attacked by her "biochemical rice cake" not long ago!
Now if Su Qingluan was asked to contact Mu Xingzhi at this awkward time, Su Qingluan would rather carry the train and escape from the earth overnight.
Although Su Qingluan knew that she was only avoiding this kind of thing and treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, but based on the principle of procrastinating for one day, Su Qingluan had always avoided thinking about this person.
However, I never expected that I couldn't escape what was coming - Su Qingluan's trial product was well received in the capital and was so hyped that it was about to become some kind of hard currency.
This is naturally a good thing, but it also shows that in the coming time, Su Qingluan will have to deal with Mu Xingzhi, the packaging designer, again.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad at the moment.
