Chapter 20: Five Words Falling from the Sky
(Finally staying up to the holiday, the big holiday by the way to ask for a recommendation ticket~~haha~~)
"Madam, if you can, can you give the little girl a chance?"
Mrs. Su looked over and saw that it was the girl who had sold her peach sauce, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth lightly, and waved her hand at Gu Qi: "Little girl, come here." ”
The crowd automatically gave way to get out, Gu Qi moved the lotus step lightly, walked in front of Mrs. Su, and said respectfully: "Hello Mrs. Su." ”
She didn't directly say that she knew you, and they met again, etc., after all, this hall is wide, and if it is known that she knows Mrs. well, she is somewhat suspected of pulling relationships.
But who is she Gu Qi, her strength is in her body, where do she still need those bends and curves.
"Little girl, are you sure it will make me appetite?" Mrs. Su stared at her clear eyes and asked with a smile.
"Madam, how do you know if you don't give it a try?" Gu Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of confidence.
"Presumptuous, Madame's noble body is what you say you can try." The maid beside Mrs. Su scolded loudly, glaring at Gu Qi very dissatisfied.
Gu Qi didn't pay attention to her, just stared at Mrs. Su without blinking, and after a while, she heard Mrs. Su smile with her eyebrows and eyes: "Okay." ”
Hello, this is to give Gu Qi a chance, to give her a chance to prove herself, of course, for the sake of fairness, the other chefs invited to participate in the test at the same time, to see who can make more food to arouse Mrs. Su's appetite.
It's a cooking contest in disguise!
Gu Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that she was a dignified gold medal HR, but she was reduced to washing her hands and making soup in ancient times, it was really Confucius who taught the Three Character Sutra to be useless, but it was also her bad luck, so she had to rely on the experience of foodies in her previous life to earn the oil and water of the ancients.
The ingredients in this Su Mansion are indeed everything, from the mountains to the seafood, which are extremely fresh, and there are some rare ingredients, which are really more complete than the supermarket in the previous life.
This can also be seen that the people of the Su family are also very concerned about food, so what kind of food should she cook to arouse Mrs. Su's appetite?
Gu Qi swept around the food store, and finally saw the thing she wanted.
Satisfied, picking up those two things, Gu Qi walked to the small kitchen with light steps, because there were many people today, the Su family specially opened the small kitchens in each courtyard for them to use, and Gu Qi was assigned to the Su family's eldest young master, Su Baiyan's small kitchen.
This Su Baiyan was born to Master Su's original wife, and he was the eldest son and grandson of the Su family. As soon as Gu Qi heard that he had been assigned to the eldest young master of the Su family, he was about to refuse, but when he heard that the eldest young master said that the eldest young master was not in the courtyard when he had something to do today, he followed them.
A little maid led her into a dense forest and bamboo cultivation, and inside the bamboo forest was a very simple-looking hut with white walls and gray tiles, until the maid said it, she was shocked to realize that she had arrived at the courtyard of the eldest young master of the Su family.
I didn't expect a dignified Su family to live in such a house.
"My young master has always been quiet, and he doesn't like outsiders to disturb, that is, he went out today and heard that there was something important to use in the house, so he lent it out. As if seeing the doubt in Gu Qi's eyes, the little maid explained to her.
"That's very good." Gu Qi walked to the kitchen by herself, she didn't want to say anything, so she responded simply, and the little maid repeatedly confirmed with her that there was no need, and then turned to leave.
That is, she wants to compete, she doesn't want her secret recipe to be seen by others, and besides, there are many people in this Su Mansion, and it is impossible to prevent it if someone sees the opportunity to make it bad, so instead of being scared, it is better to be self-reliant, anyway, she is not a coquettish person who comes to reach out for food and open her mouth.
Chopping firewood and lighting a fire, Gu Qi put a clay pot made of white pottery from the warehouse, poured in the cool water that had just been beaten, and threw the ingredients that had been cut into it, then covered the pot and started to stay by the stove.
"Girl, your soup is overflowing." Suddenly, a man's low voice came from behind him, which frightened Gu Qi back to his senses, only to find that the soup on the stove was really about to overflow.
"Oh, ah-" Gu Qi jerked the lid of the pot, but was so hot by the white steam that he almost overturned the pot.
"Girl, be careful." The man behind him saw that Gu Qi was so hot that he almost jumped up, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed it into the water tank by the stove.
The cool well water instantly soothed the burning on Gu Qi's hands and calmed her nerves.
But when she saw the form in front of her, she immediately blushed, and the man was looking at him with interest.
"What do you see, haven't you seen beautiful women?" Gu Qi stubbornly threw the man a roll of the eye.
"Haha, girl, are you sure you're still a beauty now?" Saying that, the man naturally let go of Gu Qi's wrist and pointed to the reflection in the water tank.
Sure enough, what kind of beauty He Zeng reflected in the water was simply unsalted. The cheeks, which were originally quite fair, were also rubbed with smoke and dust at the moment, and the whole face was gray, only a pair of eyes were barely shiny.
At this time, Gu Qi was embarrassed to go to her grandmother's house.
Embarrassed to avoid the man's playful eyes, Gu Qi wiped his face with his sleeve without a trace, and asked the man, "Who are you, why did you come here to scare me." ”
"What about you? What are you doing here? The man asked amusefully.
"I'll cook a meal for Mrs. Su, she doesn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and everyone is emaciated." Gu Qi replied truthfully, looking at the man's clothes, although there were no patterns, they were fine cloud brocade, such material was not affordable for ordinary people, presumably this person was probably a relative and guest of Su Mansion.
didn't think about it, as soon as the man heard that he was cooking for Mrs. Su, his face, which was still smiling, immediately became gloomy: "Hmph——, that woman is dead, why help her." ”
This person was so hostile to Mrs. Su, Gu Qi looked at the person in front of him with some shock, and didn't know what to say.
The man also seemed to notice that he had made a mistake in his words, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, if you offend the girl, please forgive me." The man bowed to her sincerely, and then continued, "What kind of meal are you going to prepare for the girl?" ”
Seeing that the man tried to change the topic, Gu Qi didn't say much, turned around and put a rag on the pad, lifted the lid of the pot, scooped it with a spoon and tried the taste, and then replied: "I won't sue you." ”
After waiting for a long time, but waiting for these five words, the person was almost vomited blood by Gu Qi, but in the face of such a soft and weak little girl, he couldn't use violence with his fists, and continued to ask:
"What is the name of the green leaf that the girl threw into it?"
"Silver Dan Grass."
