Before that, he had already held Su Miao's hand and chatted with her for an hour about the matter between him and his eldest brother and Xiao Qingmei, the apprentices got off work early, Su Xian, Su Chan, and Chunniang also went home first because they were about to fall asleep because they heard it, and even Uncle Hu was napping in the corner, only the aftertaste accompanied Su Miao and listened to Wang Bao's nagging with her, and he held his cheek with one hand and looked bored and fugued.

Wang Bao was a very upright person before he became a hooligan leader, although he was short-tempered since then, but when he first entered the inspection room, he definitely joined with a righteous heart, enthusiastic to help others, thrifty and selfless, and very good to the people. Because he was too good to the people, he was ostracized by his colleagues who originally lived on fish and meat. As a result of exposing to the county magistrate that the then chief of the inspection room had received a large amount of bribes, Wang Bao was framed by the chief and his most trusted colleagues, and the witnesses were the ordinary people he wanted to help and had helped, and those people either did not resist the temptation of money or were forced by the pressure of the inspection room, in short, the final result was that Wang Bao was removed from the inspection room and was imprisoned for two years.

Wang Dabao, who was framed as the eldest brother, did not know, Wang Dabao was not a headhunter at that time, Wang Leopard was able to enter the inspection room because Wang Dabao said a lot of good things in front of the master, and the master who recommended Wang Leopard after the incident felt that he had lost face, and even looked at Wang Dabao very unpleasantly, Wang Dabao also felt very faceless, and the relationship between the brothers became very bad since then.

After being released from prison, Wang Bao took revenge on those who accused him at the beginning, and then the Blue Dragon Gang was established. His bad deeds are probably just for show, so there are only nine members of the Blue Dragon Gang until now.

Seeing that Wang Bao was about to run for three, it was rare that Ning County Ling did not dislike Wang Bao's identity as a criminal in the past and allowed him to join the inspection room. The rest of the Qinglong Gang also wanted to enter the yamen to live a stable life, but Wang Bao did not agree. Wang Dabao resolutely refused to agree to Liu Qingmei's matter, the widow with three children, not to mention that the Wang family does not have such a deep family background to support three foreign children, even if it can really be raised, a man who has never been married to raise a group of oil bottles that are not planted by himself, Wang Dabao beat Wang Bao with a stick. scolded him for "lacking heart and eyes".

"It's complicated, isn't it?" Su Miao watched Wang Bao being helped away by Zhang Hu, and muttered and scolded in her mouth. smiled at the aftertaste sitting next to him.

As if he had just recovered from his fugue, he looked at her with one hand on his cheek, and replied lightly, "I didn't listen." ”

The corners of Su Miao's mouth twitched, and she sighed helplessly. As he got up and walked to the kitchen, he said worriedly:

"It's not good to be stiff like this. You should still make it clear, even if you are a brother, if you don't say what is in your heart, the other party will not understand. ”

Aftertaste walked slowly from behind, and her big bony hand gently brushed her head from behind, and chuckled:

"I'm starting to worry about it again." Straight into the kitchen.

"What do you mean by worrying nonsense!" Su Miao's hair was messed up by him, and he stood at the door with his hair arranged, staring at him absentmindedly tidying up the storage cabinet, and said unhappily. "Don't touch me all the time, you've been touching me more and more lately!"

"Is there one?" Aftertaste casually asks rhetorically. After a pause, he looked at her and laughed a little weirdly, "I touch you?" That sounds ...... Thanks to no outsiders, I would have to marry you. ”

Su Miao was choked by some of his Meng Lang's words, and the feeling of being teased made her suddenly angry, glared at him, and said angrily:

"Now that you know, don't do things that will be misunderstood!" As he spoke, he picked up the bucket and went to the well to fetch water for the tank.

Seeing this, Aftertaste closed the storage cabinet and walked over, and said calmly: "As long as you say something about this kind of work, I will help you do it." ”

"It's not like I can't do it myself, why do I want you to help?" Su Miao said disapprovingly.

Aftertaste stood aside and looked at her ears that were slightly reddened because she was turning the well hard, although she was tall, he was still a head taller than her, and it was easy to find that touch of crimson from a high position, and after looking at it for a while, the ghost reached out and pulled it on her ear, and muttered:

"Hard ears love to be strong!"

Thump!

The bucket that was about to be twisted up fell freely and splashed high!

Su Miao touched her itchy ears, gritted her teeth angrily, kicked over, and jumped up to avoid it:

"Don't kick people casually in a girl's house, it's ugly."

"If you dare to touch my ears again, I will chop off your hands to make roast pig's trotters!" She warned fiercely, her ears still itching.

"It's so fierce, are you the one who will itch for a long time when you touch your ears, and so am I."

"Really?" Su Miaohu looked at him suspiciously.

Aftertaste nodded: "I don't believe you touch." ”

Su Miao thought about it, touched it curiously, and couldn't help laughing as soon as her hand touched it.

"Does it really itch?"

He smiled and nodded.

"With such soft ears, I will definitely be afraid of my wife in the future." Su Miao grinned and pulled his ear hard.

Aftertaste slapped her hand away: "Let you touch it but don't let you pull it, this is not a pig's ear!" ”

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and laughed, at this moment, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and Chun Niang appeared at the door, startling the two. When I saw an outsider coming in, the smile on the corner of my lips converged, and Chun Niang was looking at the smile on the corner of his lips in a daze.

"Why are you still here, aren't you going back with Chan'er and them?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.

"It's cold tonight, the quilt has been made, I want to send it to my father." After a pause, Chunniang replied with a smile.

"If you come alone, why don't you let Yan'er or Chan'er accompany you, it's dangerous for girls to walk alone at night."

"Changle Town is safe, don't worry, it's not too late, I just met Big Brother. Has Brother Wang already left, and when will Sister Miao go back? ”

"I'll go back when the kitchen is cleaned up and the back alley is swept, you wait outside, and we'll go back together."

"Sister Na Miao cleans up the kitchen, and I'll sweep the back alley."

"It's okay if you don't want to do it."

"It's okay if I want to do it." After saying with a smile, Chunniang picked up the broom in the corner and went out from the staff passage.

Su Miao watched her go out. Smiled, and looked back at the aftertaste of indifference:

"It's so dark, a girl's house said she was going to sweep the alley, you as a man. Shouldn't you take the initiative to go in her place? ”

Aftertaste glanced down at her and replied seriously, "But I don't want to sweep the alley." ”

"......" as if she hadn't said anything.

On the way back, Su Miao walked in front with a lantern, and Chunniang held her without saying a word, as if she had something on her mind, and recalled that she followed slowly with a lantern.

On this day, Chunniang didn't sleep well all night.

On the 28th, it was the day when Ning County invited Ge Zhizhou to a banquet. Since the morning, some guests have come to Su Caiguan to talk about news such as Lord Zhizhou's visit to the dock. In the afternoon, Huiwei took Su Yan to the county mansion to prepare materials, and Su Miao waited until an hour before the banquet. Because Ning County ordered that the kitchen matter should be handled by her. So I came so late, and the kitchen manager of the county house didn't say anything. Regarding the menu of the dinner party, Su Miao had already communicated with Steward Xu in the kitchen, and Steward Xu was instructed by Ning County Order to fully cooperate with her, no matter what she thought in her heart, she didn't dare to slack off on the surface, and when Su Miao arrived at the kitchen of the county magistrate's house, all the ingredients and materials had been processed. The milk broth and clear soup were also simmered on the stove for a day.

The kitchen area of the county mansion is not small. Not only the kitchen of the county house, but even the county government of Changle Town is a very generous mansion, and there are many servants in the inner house, although it is only a county town, from the perspective of the living environment, the county order of Changle Town is indeed a fat shortage.

Su Miao took a turn among the main ingredients that had been prepared in the big kitchen, took the apron handed by the aftertaste and tied it, looked at the sky outside along the window, and then smiled at everyone in the kitchen:

"It's almost time. Let's go! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes away from her. The kitchen suddenly became lively.

Eight meats, eight vegetables, eight cold and eight hot, and the first round is a cold dish that can be served with wine.

Su Miao stood in front of the main stove, picked up the cucumber to the stem, held the cucumber in his left hand, picked up the knife in his right hand, skillfully and neatly peeled off the skin, and then put the peeled cucumber on the cutting board, and the sound of the knife sounded briskly, which is often heard in the kitchen, but it quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen. It seems to be shredding as light and fast knife skills, but she is not cutting cucumber shreds, she is cutting cucumber slices, and the knife does not hesitate for a moment, as if the cucumber slices cut out casually are as thin as paper, and the thickness of each slice is almost identical.

Su Yan stood beside her and the whole person was stunned, such a precise knife work he knew only one person could do it, and her casual cross-cutting technique was completely different from his rigorous and serious, subconsciously looked at the aftertaste, the aftertaste seemed to be shocked, and was looking at her for a moment with a pair of eyes that were trembling slightly because she was too surprised, and her face was full of astonishment.

Because she runs a small restaurant, Su Miao rarely cooks dishes that require special emphasis on knife work, and she values taste more than appearance, but that doesn't mean she won't. The cold cucumber roll is a beautiful dish that attaches great importance to knife work, the light but will not break the cucumber slices are salted to remove the water and smeared with sesame oil, and the blanched carrot shreds, shiitake mushrooms and pickled lettuce shreds are put into the bowl to remove the water, add salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil and mix well, put them on the spread cucumber slices, and then slowly roll the cucumber slices into a roll and stack them neatly into the plate. Mix the sauce with minced green onions, garlic, coriander, pepper, fish sauce, sugar, and a little green juice and pour evenly over the cucumber rolls.

The craftsmanship is fine, the color is gorgeous, the salty fragrance is crisp, fresh and pleasant, and it is definitely a good product for banquet wine.

Su Miao nodded with satisfaction, handed the finished product to the cook outside, and turned around to prepare the next three-color steamed eggs.

Aftertaste withdrew his gaze from Su Miao, condensed his mind, and continued the work in hand.

It's time for the feast, eight cold dishes were brought to the front by the maid one after another, and the last finale of the cold dish platter came from the hand of aftertaste, a peacock made of eight meat and eight vegetarian zuò, bright and gorgeous, lifelike, Su Miao looked at the peacock that seemed to be flying up for a long time, and then looked at the expressionless aftertaste, flat mouth:

"This breathtaking craftsmanship is truly envious!"

"That's what I want to say." After finishing speaking, he turned around and carved radish flowers.

Su Miao blinked inexplicably, what did he mean!

According to the maid who served the food, the response to the feast in front was very good, and Ge Zhizhou was very satisfied with the eight cold dishes, especially the cool and appetizing cucumber rolls, and he was really shocked by the big peacock at the end.

After the cold cuts, Su Miao first scalded and filtered the pork ribs to clean the blood foam, then cut the cleaned pig intestines into three centimeters long, took a casserole, spread the ribs on the bottom layer of the casserole, and lined up the pork intestines, washed betel nuts, broth, salt, and rice wine in this order, and then changed to low heat and slowly simmered for two quarters of an hour after boiling. The casserole was simmering on the fire here, Su Miao turned around and walked to the other end, took the tender duck that cut the back to remove the trachea, esophagus, internal organs and duck feet, put the whole duck into the pot of boiling water, blanched it, took it out, washed it, wiped off the water, and then smeared it with soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar to taste. Heat the pot and put in the lard, stir-fry the green onion and ginger slightly, cook in the cooking wine, put in the diced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ham, chestnut meat, dried scallops, chicken, and then add soy sauce and sugar to burn until it is completely flavorful, then put in the glutinous rice and mix well out of the pot, carefully fill the duck belly, put the duck back up into the big bowl, cover the bowl with a thin cloth to avoid water, and steam it in the basket.

was busy working, and suddenly someone stuffed a hot and tender shrimp into his mouth, which belonged to the good Longjing's fragrance and elegance mixed with the soft and fresh smoothness unique to jade and white shrimp spread between his lips and teeth, and a pair of eyes squinted like a cat, Su Miao looked at the aftertaste beside him, and smiled:

"Delicious! You've evolved a lot lately! ”

"It's not a complicated dish." Although she said this, she was obviously amused by the expression she liked, and the corners of her lips hooked up a faint arc.

Su Yan saw it in his eyes, puffed out his cheeks and glared at the aftertaste.

After the betel nut pork ribs are simmered, put the wolfberries in the pot and continue to simmer for five minutes. The follow-up of the Babao duck is a little more cumbersome, with green greens in a large dish, two radish flowers on top, and then the steamed whole duck is taken out and placed on a plate. Heat the pot with lard, take out the shrimp slippery, leave a little oil in the pot, put bamboo shoots and mushroom slices, add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and steamed duck juice, put in shrimp and cooked green beans after boiling, thicken with wet starch and then drizzle with lard, pour out of the pot and pour on the duck.

Rich aroma, oily luster, salty and fresh taste, the soup is fat, the duck is crispy, and the taste is delicious.

After the last hot dish has been served, the busy kitchen finally has a brief peace, the refreshments have been served in the steamer, and the last dish of hot and sour fish soup is served.

The banquet lasted longer than Su Miao thought, until the moon rose, the hot and sour fish soup was finally sent out, the refreshments had been handed over, and when Su Miao was about to go back, a maid came over and hung her hand and said:

"Girl, my lord asks you to go to the front." (To be continued......)
