When Su Qingluan returned home, the meal was almost ready. Today it’s white meat stewed with sauerkraut again, but it has more white meat and is fattier than the previous one.
"So much meat," Su Qingluan said with a smile, "Aniang spent a lot of money this time."
"What are you talking about?" Yang said with a smile. "You've been too tired a few days ago and have lost a lot of weight. Now that I can stop and take a breath, I want to give you some more meat." Replenish yourself."
This time Yang knew Su Qingluan's preference, so he let the fat cook for a longer period of time, so that the fat inside gradually melted into the pickled cabbage soup.
In this way, the originally sour vegetable leaves absorb the thick soup and become softer and easier to eat. This time, because there are more sliced white meat and more fat, the sauerkraut tastes moister than last time.
Although there was no fragrant blood sausage this time, which made Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan quite dissatisfied, the richer broth than last time still made them satisfied.
Seeing his younger brother and sister eating with their mouths full of oil, Su Qingluan couldn't help but shook her head: "After dinner, you two have to go to the yard to eat!"
Su Xuanhe raised his head from his rice bowl, his mouth gleaming with oil as he ate: "But sister eats more than us, why don't we eat together?"
Su Qingluan rolled her eyes: "I am taller and older than you, so I should eat more! And I have work to do later, otherwise you can do the work for me. ?”
Su Xuanhe quickly shook his head like a rattle: "I'll have to warm up my book later!"
Su Qingluan sneered: "All I know now is that Wen Shu doesn't want to work, or he will become a nerd who doesn't work hard and doesn't know what to eat!"
"I won't become a nerd! I can also work!" Su Xuanhe was unconvinced.
"Then let's clear away the dishes later." Su Qingluan instructed his brother without any mental pressure - not to mention, it was his own request, wasn't it?
After eating, Su Qingluan began to worry: Although the debt was too much, Liu Yunniang had two debts.
Su Qingluan thought that she couldn't give Mu Xingzhi a thank you banquet, but she neglected her good friend. It was always not good to treat one with favoritism.
But Mu Xingzhi's thank-you banquet was just four days away, and the time was tight. He had to design dishes and purchase ingredients in such a short period of time. The four days were actually a bit tight.
Therefore, the matter of purchasing another table will be put on the back burner.
But in fact, in terms of Su Qingluan's personal emotional priorities, Liu Yunniang was ranked ahead of Mu Xing.
Therefore, although it was too late to prepare a thank-you banquet for Liu Yunniang now, and it was just a matter of coping if she was forceful, but before Mu Xingzhi went there, Su Qingluan still remembered that she wanted to make a snack for Liu Yunniang.
Liu Yuniang is different from her refreshing appearance. She actually likes those sweet and greasy snacks, and she also has a bit of a "girlish heart" - she likes flowers, plants, and cute things.
But in the past, due to limited conditions, I had to keep everything simple.
Since the Liu family moved away from the alley, Liu Sheng's legs have gradually improved. Liu Yunniang's hobbies that have been suppressed for a long time are like bubbles that finally floated up, rising to the surface of the water, floating in the air, and seeing the sun.
Although most of the time, she would suppress her hobbies for the sake of her still poor family, but Su Qingluan heard her friend sigh with envy more than once about which rich businessman's daughter ate what kind of snacks. As soon as the snack passed by, the sweet smell penetrated her nose, but she was reluctant to buy a piece.
Su Qingluan knew that kind of snack, which was filled with bean paste and jujube paste, with layers of pastry on the outside and a little bit of white sesame seeds on the outside. It was deep-fried in oil, and it was fragrant enough to attract greedy people.
In fact, Su Qingluan happened to know that there was a kind of snack that met Liu Yunniang's requirements, but she felt a little sorry when she thought that she had made it for Mu Xingzhi before - yes, it was lotus cake.
In fact, Su Qingluan originally wanted to make dragon beard cake. However, although dragon beard cake is sweet, crispy and soft, its appearance can be regarded as "cute" at best. Compared with lotus cake, it is slightly inferior in appearance. One chip.
But the intact lotus cake has been made for others, and when it is given to friends, it always feels like Liu Yunniang is eating something that others have eaten.
Suddenly, Su Qingluan's eyes lit up: Although she has already made the lotus cake, is there anything she can improve?
Just as she said, Su Qingluan returned to her room, moved the small low table in her room to the lee of the foyer outside, lit two more oil lamps, and then the lights and the natural light coming from outside, she reluctantly finished the design. This is my new lotus cake.
In fact, the general method of making it has not changed much, but this time, Su Qingluan changed the filling from bean paste and red dates to lotus paste filling.
And although Liu Yuniang likes sweets, Su Qingluan planned to add sugar when making the outer puff pastry and dough, so he made some improvements to the filling to avoid making her taste disgusting.
Of course, for things like puff pastry, you need to put the pastry in a refrigerated environment for a period of time, and now that the temperature outside is close to zero, it is just right for the task of a natural refrigerator.
In order to create a surprise for her friend, Su Qingluan did not tell Liu Yunniang that she was coming. Instead, she inquired about the time when the Liu family would set up their stall and estimated when it would be appropriate for her to come.
So when Su Qingluan knocked on the door of Liu's house the next afternoon, Liu Yunniang's first reaction when she opened the door was not the surprise to see her friend, but: "Qingluan? Why are you here? Is there something wrong with that batch of jam again?" Already?" With that said, he let Su Qingluan go into the room.
Su Qingluan, who was stepping into the Liu family's threshold with one foot, paused and muttered: ...I really thank you, but this is a good thing.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she raised the wooden food box in her hand to the eyes of the two of them: "Here, the snacks agreed upon!"
"Hey!" At this time, Liu Yuniang finally looked a little "surprised" as Su Qingluan expected, "Is this made for me? I will take you to the front hall first, my father. Mom just came back from town and is resting and chatting there!"
"It seems that Uncle Liu has recovered well recently." Su Qingluan said with a smile.
"Isn't that right?" Liu Yunniang took the food box and said with a smile, "Since he started working as a stall owner, he seems to be recovering faster. I'm afraid that one day his legs will drag him down again."
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "If you have a job and hope in your heart, your health will naturally get better quickly."
For a second-entry courtyard like the Liu family, it only takes a few words to reach the inner hall. Then I heard faint voices coming from inside.
I guess I heard the door open outside, and Madam Xi's loud voice came from inside the door: "Mother Yun, who is here?"
"Ms. Xi, it's me!" Su Qingluan shouted back.
Madam Xi naturally recognized Su Qingluan and hurriedly came out to greet her: "Little Madam of the Su family, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here?"
Liu Yunniang shook the food box in her hand: "Qingluan is bringing me snacks!"
