Probably subconsciously knowing that there was a lot of work to do today, Su Qingluan woke up at dawn the next day.
Yang and Su Guangfu also knew why Su Qingluan went to Mu Xingzhi's house to cook. They were told by thousands of people to "be polite" and "be grateful". Su Qingluan couldn't help but wonder what Mu Xingzhi had done. Her parents—no, to be precise, the entire Huaxi Village villagers—had given him some kind of ecstasy that could actually give him such a reputation.
Could it be that that guy is capable of poisoning?
Thoughts were garbled in her mind. When Su Qingluan came to her senses, she was already standing outside the courtyard with the only bamboo forest.
It has to be said that Su Qingluan was a little excited, so excited that she couldn't help but rub her hands with flies - after all, in this era, as a country girl from a remote country, she didn't have many opportunities to squander the food she wanted.
Needless to say, no vegetable leaf should be wasted in my own home; and the same is true even for the wealthy Hongfu House - as a small town in this remote country, Hongfu House can barely be regarded as the "first restaurant" For example, even if there are a few "high-end dishes", the budget cannot be too outrageous.
Again, "expensive" and "sky-high price" cannot be equated at all. Although Hongfulou can have expensive and rare ingredients, it cannot have unreasonable "sky-high price" dishes - this kind of non-economic A place where the center is not a capital city does not meet this condition.
Even if there are "sky-priced dishes", most likely they are just a gimmick and basically cannot be sold.
What's more, as a partner, Su Qingluan couldn't just use other people's ingredients to practice his cooking skills.
So Su Qingluan cherishes today's opportunity to show off her skills at will - after all, after such a long time, she herself is a little bit tired of it.
Su Qingluan came early in the morning, and it was obvious that both Songbo and Mu Xingzhi were a little unexpected. The most intuitive expression is that when Songbo opened the door and saw Su Qingluan, he opened his eyes in surprise. His eyes widened for a moment, and he looked up at the sky again. His expression clearly said: So early?
Only then did Su Qingluan realize: Every family has different schedules. Their family goes to bed early every night, and Mu Xingzhi was not here last night! Isn’t it normal for such a night owl to wake up late?
"Sorry, I seem to have come a little too early..." Su Qingluan was a little embarrassed, "But you can just let me go to the kitchen instead of the living room - have you had breakfast?"
"I'm having breakfast... I never thought..." I never thought that before I even took two bites of the meal, the people who originally thought they would come at least at noon came first.
Su Qingluan also made a big blush - she didn't expect to come while others were eating, which was a bit reckless, so she apologized again and again.
After all this procrastination, Mu Xingzhi, who had been eating in the inner room, came out in a wheelchair and said with a smile: "I wonder who it is, why Songbo went to open the door but no one was there."
Su Qingluan felt like her ears were burning: "I really couldn't wait to see how the soup base was, so I didn't think too much about it and came here early in the morning..."
What kind of pig brain does she have! I just thought about being able to cook as I pleased, but in the end I completely forgot about my schedule!
What a shame.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Fortunately, Mu Xingzhi, probably sensing Su Qingluan's embarrassment, did not invite her to sit in the front hall for a while as usual, but directly asked Songbo to send her to the kitchen, and even thoughtfully asked Songbo to come out. , if Su Qingluan needs help, just ring the bell by the window.
Without the awkward master-servant duo, Su Qingluan instantly felt like she could do it again. Her head was no longer dizzy, she was no longer suffocated, and the dazzling array of ingredients became fresh and lovely again.
Su Qingluan first took a look at the soup base that had been simmered all night - although it was not seasoned with salt, it already had a rich and fragrant flavor. And because the cured bacon itself is rich in salt and spices, when Su Qingluan tasted the soup base, it only had a rich and fresh aroma, not a bland taste.
It's not time to clean up the soup yet, but those crabs still need to be dealt with - otherwise it won't be an easy job to open the crabs.
Su Qingluan went to take a look again. After a night, the crabs were still alive and well in the moist bottom of the basin. They were covered with water-soaked gauze, so they were not dead. They were just bubbling. Bubble.
The claws and legs of these crabs were tightly tied with straw ropes, so Su Qingluan was very confident in handling them. She didn't have to worry about pinching her fingers when washing them. She was even in the mood to sing a soul-destroying song to the crabs. Little song.
"Lift up your skull and let me see your meat. Your crab meat is white and bright, just like the white snow. Your crab meat is fat and yellow. When you smell it, it smells delicious."
Crab:...Are you polite...
When steaming crab roe, Su Qingluan puts the belly of all crabs toward the shell, so that even if the crab paste flows out, it will be well caught by the crab shell.
As soon as she put the crab roes into the steamer, Su Qingluan heard the faint voice of a tofu picker outside.
And this store doesn’t just sell tofu these days. Probably because the weather has cooled down in autumn, the family has pickled salted duck eggs, so it sells tofu as well as salted duck eggs occasionally.
So Su Qingluan didn't bother to light another spare stove and hurriedly went to ring the bell at the door.
Song Bo heard the sound and came over. Su Qingluan said a little embarrassedly: "Can you please buy a piece of soft tofu and a few salted duck eggs? Of course, if you don't have salted duck eggs, it doesn't matter." She can also change other dishes. .
Anyway, Su Qingluan has prepared three sets of backup menus.
In fact, it was not that Su Qingluan had never thought about going out to buy things, but she calmed down the moment she was about to step out of the kitchen - it was early in the morning when many people had not had breakfast, and she suddenly appeared in front of another person, and It is a man, and he is very popular with the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law of the village. He has to buy ingredients for cooking...
No matter how much you think about it, you still can’t explain it, right? !
Of course, Su Qingluan knew that the three people present, including herself, were very innocent and upright, but it was hard to guarantee what others would think!
...Speaking of her parents’ eyes when they found out she went to someone else’s house early in the morning to cook.
Su Qingluan realized belatedly, wasn't that expression called "If you stay in college, you will become enemies"?
...This is such a huge misunderstanding!
Su Qingluan looked guiltily at Songbo, who was going out to buy tofu and salted duck eggs. What he was thinking was: Songbo, I'm so sorry. I seem to have unintentionally tarnished the innocence of your boss. all of a sudden……
Although she didn't mean it...
