It's no wonder that Su Qingluan was hungry. It was already noon when he was called out from home, but Su Qingluan didn't eat anything except the light food he had in the morning.
Originally, it was just at home. I could have snacks at any time, and there was nothing particularly energy-consuming to do.
It was different here in the Xie Mansion. Although Su Qingluan didn't do any physical work, dealing with Xie Deshun was very taxing.
Su Qingluan was very lucky. It was said that the birthday of the old lady of the Xie Mansion was coming soon. Xie Zian, that annoying dude, had been staying in his room every day recently and was said to be reading some Buddhist scriptures for the old lady, so he was not seen. Otherwise, Su Qingluan would only feel double the trouble and double the size of his head.
Moreover, Xie Zian's recklessness would definitely not take into account his status as a "collaborator". Su Qingluan felt very happy when he thought about this.
But now is not the time to rejoice, but the time to "consolate" yourself with steaming food, otherwise your stomach will protest again - Su Qing helplessly rubbed his growling stomach.
Fortunately, in front was the place where the Liu family set up the water stall. Su Qingluan knocked on the wall of the carriage to make it stop.
The young man driving in front stopped the carriage on the side of the road, opened the curtain and asked, "What are your orders from Madam Su?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little hungry, and I plan to go down to find something to eat. Brother, you can rest here and buy something. If you get cold, use this hand stove." As he said this, he pushed the heater in his hand involuntarily. He took out a few coins from his pocket.
These few copper coins can already buy a very filling meal on the street.
Seeing that he could not refuse, the boy thanked him. Su Qingluan smiled, turned around, got off the carriage and walked towards the sewer stall.
It was already past noon, and Su Qingluan estimated that the peak of queuing in front of the water stall had passed.
Sure enough, when they got close, Su Qingluan saw that although there were still customers waiting in front of the water stall, there were only two or three here and there, but he had never seen such a long queue before.
Liu Sheng met Su Qingluan and enthusiastically served her a large bowl of sesame soup. Liu Yunniang was also very surprised and asked Su Qingluan why she remembered it today.
Not to mention the Liu family father and daughter, even Shou Hou'er and Aunt Yang were very happy to see Su Qingluan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Su Qingluan just held the steaming bowl of sesame soup and chatted with everyone while eating. Soon the bowl of sesame soup reached the bottom, and Su Qingluan's stomach became warm.
After eating and drinking, Su Qingluan waved goodbye to everyone and returned to the carriage. Feeling warm in her stomach, Su Qingluan was thinking about dinner again.
Of course, she had to go back later today, so Yang probably had to cook dinner. But she was thinking about what else to eat besides sauerkraut in this increasingly cold weather.
In fact, the Su family pickled a lot of sauerkraut, and Su Qingluan also wanted to get a fish to make sauerkraut fish pot. But they just ate sauerkraut a few days ago, and even though Su Qingluan wasn't tired of it, the two little guys were a little overwhelmed.
It’s not that she is a picky eater, but Su Xuanhe’s child recently lost another canine tooth. Su Xueyan, the little girl, also said that her tooth felt “a little weak” after eating too much pickled cabbage.
Su Qingluan knew as soon as he heard that this was because children's tooth enamel has not yet fully developed and is relatively fragile. If they often eat foods like sauerkraut that contain various fermented organic acids, they will naturally feel that their "teeth are soft".
No matter how you eat this pickled cabbage, you can't get tired of it in one sitting. Su Qingluan is wondering whether to change the taste...
"Mutton, the best freshly killed mutton! The meat is tender and fragrant. Please come and have a look, please buy it and try it!"
A loud shout came from outside, and Su Qingluan's eyes lit up when she heard it: How could she forget such good soup pot ingredients?
When Su Qingluan returned home excitedly, Mrs. Yang had just started the fire in the stove. Seeing Su Qingluan running into the stove in large and small bundles, he quickly went over and took the things in her hands: "Hey, This thing of yours is quite heavy, what are it all about?"
"Sheep scorpion, there are also a few pieces of lamb short ribs and lamb tenderloin that I specially asked to save!" Su Qingluan's eyes lit up, "Mommy, haven't you made dinner yet? Let's make the lamb scorpion pot tonight. !”
Sheep and scorpions are not a new food, but the Su family has not eaten them for a long time - before, it was because they could not afford it due to limited conditions, but now Su Qingluan's cooking skills are so varied that he can't think of eating them.
Yang nodded when he heard this: "Mutton is warm in nature. It's good for warming up in winter. I'll prepare some spinach and lotus root slices."
Su Qingluan nodded: "Mom, go ahead, I'm here!" She was now going to take apart the long sheep spine one by one according to the texture of the joints, and she had to be careful that there was also bone marrow inside the spine. Yes, don't fall out, otherwise you will suffer great losses.
The mutton soup itself is very delicious, but white pepper can further stimulate this delicious taste, so this time Su Qingluan was not polite and added a "lethal dose" of white pepper at the beginning, so as to better cover up the original taste. The fishy smell of mutton can also stimulate a more attractive and delicious taste.
Soon, the sheep, scorpions and mutton were added to the water and boiled. Su Qingluan carefully swept away the foam from the soup. He did this for more than ten times in a row until no new blood foam was formed, and then left only a small slit in the pot lid to prevent it. He threw the pot, lowered his head and adjusted the fire to a lower level.
The mutton itself is tender and tender, and the mutton chops Su Qingluan chose are rich in oil, so even if oil-absorbing vegetables such as mushrooms, radish, and lotus root slices are added, the oil in the soup will not be greatly reduced.
Rather, mutton itself is rich in oil, so there is no need to be afraid of vegetables "washing oil". On the contrary, the vegetables soaked in suet become richer and more delicious.
The weather is getting colder and colder now, especially after the sun goes down. Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe it as "dropping water turns into ice", it is not an exaggeration to describe it as if your hands are frozen after the cold wind.
So this time, Su Qingluan originally planned to make "Sheep and Scorpion Shabu-shabu", but later thought about it and gave it up and turned it into "Sheep and Scorpion Stew". But considering that the food and rice would get cold in a blink of an eye when they were served that day, Su Qingluan thought of a way.
So when it was about to eat today, everyone saw that on the table where the dishes and chopsticks were originally placed, there was a large basin that required two people to hold it.
"What's going on? Why is the basin still on the table?" Su Guangfu looked at Su Qingluan.
He didn't blame Su Qingluan, it was just that it was the first time for him to encounter this kind of "food on the table" thing, so it was a bit novel.
Su Xuanhe walked around the table: "Are we going to put all the food in the basin today?"
Su Qingluan smiled and pretended: "This is to allow our family to eat hot meals. Let's do an experiment today. If the effect is good, we can do this when the weather is cold in the future!" Su Qingluan looked at it. He said this with a look of anticipation and curiosity.
