Chapter 150: Borscht

"It's the butter you want, right?" Ning Le smiled triumphantly and said, "When I was in Qizhou, I was catching up with the strict inspection, and I stayed in the city for several days, when there were two Hu merchants who were about to go to Liangdu to sell goods, and I met and drank a wine by chance, as soon as I heard that they had butter, you always chattered, so I quickly got you a can, but there was only one can, and they were going to send those butters to Liangdu, and there were already buyers in Liangdu, so I took a lot of effort to let them sell them to me." ”

Su Miao couldn't put it down and touched the crockpot on the table, and after a while, she looked up at him and gave him a thumbs up:

"Well done!"

Ning Le smiled more and more brightly, at this moment, he only felt that there was a piercing sight, and when he looked over, he saw that Aftertaste was staring at him coldly, colder than the well water in winter, and he couldn't prevent a shudder, and got goosebumps, Ning Le subconsciously leaned towards Su Chan's side, and covered half of herself with her height, so as not to be stabbed to death by Aftertaste with an eye knife.

He couldn't figure out where he had offended him.

"Anything else?" Su Miao asked with great interest.

"And this." Ning Le smiled and untied his baggage, there was a bunch of slender red peppers inside, the peppers had dried up, but they still faintly exuded a spicy smell, "What you want is this, this thing is precious, I just sold it to me, but I bought a bag of seeds from them, if you can grow it, it will save money." He smiled hey.

Su Miaoru got the treasure, picked up a handful of red peppers, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth:

"You're really good, you can get so many good things back after going out!"

Ning Le was beaming with pride. Sharper eyes shot at him, and he had the illusion of being pierced, and he endured goosebumps and looked at the expressionless aftertaste. Why does he keep staring at him, what's wrong with him!

"Where did you get the money to buy these things?" After looking at him for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"I didn't see anything big in the future, so I spent the money she gave me for emergencies." Ning Le was looked at by him, inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and replied in a low voice.

How do you know that Su Miao doesn't care about the silver at all. In a super good mood, he smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Lele, you have done a big thing." Because you have done this great thing, I am awarding you the Star Employee Award of the Month! ”

Ning Le was overjoyed: "Is there a bonus?" "Su Kee has the evaluation of the best employees every month, and this one has a bonus, although it is less. But it's also a bonus. So he asked excitedly.

Su Miao replied solemnly: "This is an honor, I will put your portrait on the wall, so that everyone can worship you as an example." ”

She spoke in a tone like an official master.

The corners of Ning Le's mouth twitched fiercely, and he was dejected: "I don't need a portrait." "The portraits of the employee awards are all painted by Su Miao, and the potatoes drawn are not even recognized by the winners themselves, and they have to look at the names marked below.

"Well, it's an honor. Honor! Su Miao's tone was serious and emphasized, touching the butter jar and red pepper on the table. Smiling brightly.

"......" Ning Le was speechless, forget it, she is happy!

It was already late, so the night did not last long, and everyone dispersed in groups before the hour. The guys who stayed overnight sorted out the dishes and went to rest, and Su Miao was still counting her precious peppers in the kitchen. This thing is only available to Liang, if it weren't for Ning Le's halfway diversion, he wouldn't have been able to meet Hu Shang, and if he couldn't meet Hu Shang, he wouldn't have this, this is not Ning Le's luck, it's that she is very lucky, with this and butter, she can make a lot of good things, and a lot of good taste that she can dream of occasionally dreaming after a long time.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee......" she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What a giggle in the middle of the night." As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a laugh that gave him goosebumps, and said helplessly, and walked over.

Su Miao was startled and asked in surprise, "You haven't slept yet?" ”

After tasting nothing, he glanced at the butter jar and pepper basket on the cooking table: "Are you so happy to get these?" She always said "I can't do anything without this" when she talked about this, and never seriously said that she wanted it, he thought she was just talking casually, if he knew that she wanted it so much, even if he felt troublesome, he would help her get it.

"Of course, you can do a lot of things with this." Su Miao said with a smile.

She was really happy.

Looking back at her smile when she was happy, she didn't feel very happy, paused, and asked:

"Since you want it so much, why didn't you tell me you wanted it before?"

Su Miao didn't expect him to ask like this, looked into his serious eyes, was stunned, and said with a smile:

"Although I've always wanted to, I can't go to Liangdu specifically for this, although I want to use these to cook, but Su Ji is mainly for locals, and the ingredients used now are basically enough, Ning Le can bring these back is a surprise."

Aftertaste understood what she meant, but her answer still did not satisfy him, and looked straight into her eyes, and after a while, said in a deep voice:

"Tell me directly if you want anything in the future, and sue me directly."

He said "directly" twice.

Su Miao was slightly stunned, and suddenly peeled off his seriousness and felt the deeper meaning, the tip of his heart couldn't help but be hot, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he laughed.

"Okay." She agreed.

Aftertaste is satisfied.

"By the way, it's rare to have butter, I'll make something for you to eat!" She was in high spirits and said to him with a smile.

"Okay." The aftertaste was not hungry, and he drank some wine after supper, but she rarely said that she wanted to cook for him, and he naturally happily agreed.

Su Miao immediately grabbed the apron and tied it, turned out the shallots, cabbage, washed, peeled and cut into pieces, celery, carrots, and potatoes peeled and diced, added enough water to the stew pot, poured in half a shallot, laurel leaf, and garlic clove to heat, put in the brisket and meat pieces and boiled over high heat, turned to low heat and simmered for about an hour, and took out the shallots, laurel leaves, and garlic cloves.

Prepare a pot of hot water, put in the washed tomatoes, cover and simmer for a while, cut the tomatoes into large pieces and break them after the tomatoes are automatically peeled, then take a small pot on the fire, pour in a little butter to melt, add tomato paste, add an appropriate amount of fruit wine and boil, until the color of the tomato sauce becomes dark red, exudes a stronger fragrance, pour it into the beef pot over low heat and continue to simmer.

Dissolve a small amount of butter in another pot, add the chopped shallots, carrots, potatoes, celery, and cabbage and stir-fry until the vegetables are dehydrated, pour all of them into the beef pot, add salt and sugar and continue to simmer over low heat. Put the pot on the fire, melt the appropriate amount of butter, add the flour and fry over low heat until it is slightly yellow, wait for the fragrance to be exuded, remove from the heat, and use an appropriate amount of water to mix the flour into a paste, similar to the sauce. Then pour the noodle soup into the beef pot and stir well, bring to a low boil, remove from the heat and sprinkle in a little ground pepper.

This is actually a thick vegetable soup, the orange-red soup is dotted with vegetables that have changed from emerald green to pale green due to dehydration, although it does not have the vitality of emerald green, but the color is softer and more appetizing. This soup has two distinct and mellow flavors, one is the light but mellow milky aroma hidden in the vegetables and the sauce, which comes from the butter. The butter that Ning Le bought back is still a little different from the butter commonly used by Su Miao in the past, the butter is made by separating the cream and skimmed milk in the milk, making the cream mature and stirring, due to the difference in technology, the butter used now is between the cream and the butter, although the fat content is not enough, the milk flavor is stronger, and it is more suitable for cooking. Another flavor is the thick and strong sweetness and sourness that has completely penetrated into the beef, which comes from the tomato. The tomato paste made from pollution-free and natural tomatoes is the best in both sour and sweet taste.

The unique thick soup, sweet with sour, sweet with sour, sweet and fragrant, fragrant and appetizing, even if you have already eaten, even if you are not hungry at all, when you smell this smell that is getting stronger and hotter with cooking, you only feel that the whole stomach is empty, and it seems that it is not a problem to drink one or two bowls.

Aftertaste sat at the table, looking at her leisurely with one hand on his cheek, he liked to see her concentrate on cooking, very serious, very focused, full of interest, and proud. No matter what she is cooking, it will give people the feeling that she is happy to cook, no burden, no anxiety, no boring, casual and free. Not every chef can do this, no, it should be said that very few do. The work of a chef requires a super body, strong energy and strong concentration, from morning to night non-stop cooking, to deal with non-stop orders, to deal with all kinds of emergencies, to cooperate with many people, even if nothing happens, just from morning to night standing in front of the stove to accept the smoke on the face and keep stir-frying, the whole kitchen can still smile and look happy when the night closes is only her, the others are tired of becoming dogs even if they don't become cockfights.

She has a strong spirituality in cooking, and at the same time she has a concentration and optimism that ordinary people can't match, these intangible things will be fully manifested the moment she stands in front of the stove, and it is these intangible things that make her seem to carry a magic, a magic that makes people unable to take their eyes off her, especially her peers, she has a magic that makes her peers unconsciously convinced. The man spoke with strength, how many people in the pigeon building were secretly unconvinced when Su Ji opened the building, and even Cheng Tie and Niu Guangken jumped over for the sake of the old club's face, but now they have unconsciously regarded her as a leader, and they may not even know it, but he, a bystander, can see it clearly.

She has an attraction that can contag people's hearts, and it seems to be an innate talent, even if he can't take his eyes off it when he looks deeper.

"Borscht." With a grin, she placed a snow-white soup cup in front of him.

Pure white porcelain, bright soup, fragrant but not greasy, luscious and attractive. (To be continued......)
