Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What did the county magistrate tell me to do?" ”

"The adults didn't say it, but the girl will know when she goes."

Su Miao nodded, took off her apron before leaving, and grabbed her with a smile:

"I'll go with you."

"Back to the little brother, the adult only called Miss Su." The maid who came to invite someone was startled and hurriedly said.

"It doesn't matter." After a faint aftertaste, the person has already gone out.

The maid's expression was obviously very "harmful", Su Miao didn't care about her expression, and asked Su Yan to wait in the kitchen, and went out with the aftertaste.

The two followed the maid to the flower hall of the banquet guest one after the other, in addition to Ning Xianling, Ning Le, and Master Peng, there were three other middle-aged men, one of whom was slightly chubby, with a dark round face and a sparse beard, sitting on the main seat, presumably Ge Zhizhou of Fengzhou. Ning Xian Ling saw them coming one after the other, he was slightly stunned, glanced at the aftertaste without a trace when Su Miao didn't get closer, and whispered a few words to Ge Zhizhou. Ge Zhizhou was tasting the soup, and when he heard the words, he glanced at the aftertaste, and then looked at Su Miao with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth:

"It's really a girl, it's rare to see such a tall girl in Changle Town!"

"Don't look at this girl's big size, she is even younger than Ah Le, without a father, she relies on her craft to support the family, at a young age, she is a girl's family, amazing!" Ning Xian Ling said with a smile.

Ge Zhizhou nodded, picked up a piece of vegetarian ham and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile:

"A female doll, indeed good craftsmanship, said that this ham, if it wasn't for the right people to say that it was made of yam, I thought it was a real ham. How do you do that? ”

"Peel and steam the yam and mash it into a puree, mix it with the wet starch with egg whites, salt, sesame oil, and sugar. Then take a percent of the yam puree, fry the white sugar until it is tender and add it to it. Put the mixed yam puree into a greased iron box and flatten it, and steam it in a pot until it becomes hard and skinned. Then take 30% of the yam puree and put it on the skin, flatten and steam for half an hour, and after it comes out of the cage, it becomes 'meat fat'. Then mix the remaining yam puree into the sand kernel noodles, Jianqu juice, sesame oil, spread on the 'meat fat', steam in the pot for two and a half hours, and brush with sesame oil slices after cooling. It's vegetarian ham. Su Miao explained unhurriedly.

"A plate of vegetarian ham, the workmanship is so annoying! I heard that your family opened a restaurant in Toyosu before, where is Toyosu? Ge Zhizhou just asked casually.

"Near Lingyuan Street." Su Miao could only answer seriously.

"Lingyuan Street? Speaking of Lingyuan Street, we have to mention the Pinxian Building on Lingyuan Street. Ge Zhizhou said to Ning County Order with great interest. That year, when I passed through Fengzhou, I settled at the Fuyuan Inn next to the Pinxian Building, and the inn and the Pinxian Building were facing each other, and the aroma wafting out of the Pinxian Building every day made people sit on the edge of their seats, especially the fried fish in the sauce that was the signature of the Pinxian Building. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten miles of fragrance. When I left Fengzhou, I also wanted to wait for the time to come back to eat in the fresh building, but I didn't expect to go this time but found that the fresh building actually changed hands, although I heard that the new chef is the apprentice of the original owner of the fresh building, but the taste made is not at all comparable with the old owner. Although the Yipinlou is quite famous in Jiangnan, I don't like the dishes in the Yipinlou, which are all piled up with silver, and there is no taste. ”

Su Miao's heart had already jumped into a mess because of Ge Zhizhou's words. Pinxian Building, the Pinxian Building of the Su family. Pinxian Building was bought by Yipinlou, and the current chef of Pinxianlou, who was bought by Yipinlou, turned out to be Su Dong's apprentice, and Su Dong only had one apprentice in his life, that is...... Zhou Cheng!

Aftertaste has been standing beside Su Miao boredly, allowing Ning Xian Ling and the others to treat him as an air-like storage zài, and he didn't like to be disturbed by temptation. Zheng Wuzi was too empty, keenly aware of the change in the aura around Su Miao's body, and looked over suspiciously but found nothing, and couldn't help but regret that he should have listened to their conversation just now.

"Miss Su used to live in Fengzhou, and she was on Lingyuan Street, and she also opened a restaurant, so she is familiar with Pinxian Building?" Ning Xian Ling asked with a smile.

"Pinxian Building is a big restaurant, we are a small restaurant, even if it is the same industry, such a disparity, it is impossible for Pinxian Building to have dealings with us." Su Miao half-lowered her eyes and replied with a faint smile.

Something was indeed wrong, and Aftertaste looked straight at her.

"Do you know how to fry fish in sauce?" Ge Zhizhou asked with interest.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Ordinary fried fish in sauce will do, but you can't fry fish in sauce in Xianlou." ”

The most important thing about the famous signature dish of Pinxian Lou is the sauce for preparing fried fish, and that sauce was developed by Su Dong himself, and it is the exclusive secret recipe of Pinxian Lou......

"Since you can do it, you can try it, even if it doesn't look like the official, I won't blame you." Ge Zhizhou commanded with a smile.

Su Miao responded, turned around and went to the kitchen, a little absent-minded along the way. Aftertaste followed her and observed her slightly strange expression until she entered the kitchen, and couldn't help asking:

"Are you alright?"

Su Miao was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Aftertaste stared at her for a moment, but shook her head and didn't make a sound.

The fried fish in sauce is to take a trout and wash it, cut it with a knife on both sides to absorb the flavor, cut it into sections obliquely with good chives, stuff it into the belly of the fish, wipe the fish skin on both sides with soy sauce, marinate for two quarters of an hour, put it in a pot and fry it over medium-low heat until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked. Heat the pot and add light oil, add yellow sauce and sweet sauce, add green onion and ginger shreds and stir-fry until fragrant, add a little clear broth, add sugar, monosodium glutamate, salt, fish sauce, sesame oil after the soup boils, stir constantly until the soup becomes thick, and pour it on the fried trout.

However, it is not as delicious as Su Dong's fried fish in sauce, Su Miao only remembered the unforgettable taste of the fried fish in sauce he had eaten when Ge Zhizhou mentioned it, it was not an exaggerated human delicacy, but it was enough to make people linger and forget the endless taste, and every time I thought of it, I would have an empty appetite and want to eat it again.

Ge Zhizhou also thought so, so after eating the fried fish in the sauce made by Su Miao, although he felt that it was also delicious, he shook his head with a little regret and sighed lightly:

"Although this girl's craftsmanship is also good. But there is still no comparison with the sauce fried fish in Pinxian Building, and I don't know where the original owner of Pinxian Building has gone, and Pinxian Building has always had an excellent business. If it weren't for the big changes in the family, the restaurant should not have been sold. ”

"The adults don't know, Pinxian Lou had committed a crime more than a year before the adults came, someone was poisoned when eating in Pinxian Building, and the owner of Pinxian Building suffered a lawsuit and lost a fortune to avoid prison, Pinxian Building was sold to the Tong family of Yipinlou, and the old owner also had a sudden illness during the detention period. I heard that he died not long after he was released from prison. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ge Zhizhou was stunned, the case of Pinxian Lou was taken over by the previous Zhizhou, and he naturally didn't know it when he just took office. And the governor of the prefecture has already gone elsewhere to work as the prefect.

"No, Xia Guan also heard that the case of Pinxianlou was purely because Yipinlou was suppressed by Pinxianlou and could not open a market in Fengzhou, so Yipinlou recruited Pinxianlou's big apprentices to join forces to deduct Pinxianlou for such a public case. Although I don't know if it's true or not. But now the head chef of Yipinlou is indeed the big apprentice of Pinxian Building, isn't that Yipinlou often used various means to oppress his peers in the past, and if the copper-smelling businessman wants to be insidious, he is more terrible than anyone else! ”

There was silence at the banquet, Ge Zhizhou thought for a while and asked:

"I heard in a trance that it is the four young men of the Tong family who are now in charge of Jiangnan Yipinlou?"

"Exactly, didn't Tong Sishao come to visit the adults a few days ago."

Ge Zhizhou nodded: "That kid is not very old but old, I heard that he also entered the finals of the King of Chefs competition last year, although he was brushed off by Huixianglou." can show his face in front of the emperor, but he is also a person, but it is a pity that he ranks fourth. The Tong family can't call the shots for him. ”

Everyone echoed, Ge Zhizhou sighed for a while before remembering that Su Miao was still there, thought about it, and happily rewarded Su Miao with five taels of silver, and Ning County Ling also gave a reward of two taels of silver, and ordered someone to send Su Miao back.

On the way back, Su Miao sat in the corner of the carriage in a daze, and she sat opposite her and stared at her, but she didn't pay attention to it. Su Yan looked at the second sister for a while, and looked at the aftertaste for a while, and always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness.

Getting off at the entrance of Jixiang Lane, Su Miao returned home and went straight into Hu's room and asked her about the resale of Pinxian Building. Hu Shi didn't expect her to ask about this suddenly, he was stunned, looked at her, his face was a little unnatural, but he couldn't stand Su Miao's questioning, so he had to answer:

"There was such a big thing at that time, what idea could I have for a woman's family, everything was done by Zhou Cheng, it was he who had a relationship in the yamen to get money to ransom people, and when Pinxian Building was sold, he also found someone to sell it, and I don't know who it was sold to."

Zhou Cheng was Su Miao's fiancé at that time, and Su Dong's proud disciple, the Su family treated him as the second aunt and naturally would not guard against him, but he didn't expect that he would run away with the second aunt not long after the sale of Pinxian Building, Su Miao searched for a circle and didn't find it, and because Su Dong was seriously ill soon after he was released from prison, he had no time to care about Zhou Cheng's affairs at that time, but he didn't expect Zhou Cheng to appear by himself, and he also became the head chef of Pinxian Building, which had changed hands.

"Where's the signboard of our Pinxian Building?"

"Signboard?" Hu was stunned.

"Sold with the restaurant?"

"Zhou Cheng said that the new owner also opened a restaurant, and he didn't want to change the plaque, so he had to buy the plaque together, and I discussed with your grandmother that the Pinxian Building was gone, and it would be good if the plaque could continue to hang on the Pinxian Building."

The plaque of the Pinxian Building was written by a big man who helped Su Dong win the finals of the Jiangnan District when he participated in the King of Chef competition, although he didn't know who the big man was, he was like a treasure. Hu and Mrs. Su didn't understand the value of the plaque, and they were only interested in the prize money after the game. After Su Dong was released from prison, he found that the Pinxian Building was gone, the plaque was gone, and the secret recipe he had recorded with all his life's work was gone, but he couldn't complain about his mother and wife, and a rush of fire was held in his heart, and it was precisely because of this fire that he died of an old illness.

In the past, Su Miao committed suicide, because she stole the private recipe for the heirloom to Zhou Cheng, she stole it to him, but he ran away with her second aunt, and her father knew that she stole it, but she didn't say anything.

When Su Miao came home from the riverside like a chicken in soup, she met Su Chan.

came out of Hu's house, but in the yard encountered the aftertaste of the freshly finished bath, the aftertaste of the dark cloud hair was still dripping with water, and he looked at her while wiping it with a hand towel.

"Do what?" She was uncomfortable with his eyes.

After looking at her for a long time, he spit out two words lightly: "It's okay." He went straight back to the house.

Su Yan was sitting on the bed mending clothes, and when he saw the aftertaste coming in, he bit off the thread and threw the clothes on his head, raising his chin proudly:

"Sewn up!"

Aftertaste tore off his shirt and looked at it: "Your needlework is really amazing!" ”

Su Yan's forehead jumped, glared at him and said angrily: "You are sarcastic about me, right?" ”

"I'm complimenting you." Aftertaste sat down on the bed, paused, and asked, "Who is Zhou Cheng from your second sister?" ”

Su Yan didn't expect him to suddenly mention Zhou Cheng, so he was taken aback, and subconsciously asked:

"How do you know Zhou Cheng?"

Huiwei glanced at him, and said slowly: "I see, Pinxian Building belongs to your family, and it has to be resold because of the lawsuit, who is Zhou Cheng from your second sister?" ”

"I won't sue you!"

"I'm going to sue your second sister that you were punished by Mr. yesterday for copying."

"You're so despicable!"

"The day before yesterday, I was given a love token by Xiaojuan on the next street."

"Just a sugar man!"

"The day before yesterday......"

"Fiancé!" Su Yan gritted his teeth, and spit out three words angrily with a blue face.

After a heartbeat, a pair of calm ink eyes suddenly became gloomy, and asked in a condensed voice: "Fiancé?" What's going on? ”

His facial expression was obviously no different from usual, but Su Yan felt a hint of chilling creepy, touched his lips, and replied honestly:

"That bastard is a distant relative of my mother, many years ago to join our family, my father accepted him as an apprentice and planned to let him enter the inheritance restaurant, who knew that the bastard saw that the restaurant was gone, and he actually got rid of the second sister and ran away with the second aunt of our family, that is to say, he and the second aunt had a personal relationship before, so many people in our family didn't find out!" The more he talked, the more angry he became, as if if Zhou Cheng appeared in front of him at this moment, he would definitely scratch him to death.

Aftertaste fell silent, and for some reason, he felt uncomfortable in his heart when he heard these things.

At noon, as more and more people came to eat, a lace news also spread among a group of gossip men who were more boring than the vegetable aunt:

"Have you heard, the daughter-in-law of Sun Dalang's family in Heshan Village was personally caught and raped by Sun Lizheng three days ago, and the adulterer turned out to be Sun Dalang's cousin, and it was found out that the son born to the daughter-in-law and the one who flowed a while ago were all Sun Dalang's cousins!"
