Chapter 255: Fun Race
The first day of the Suzhou Grand Gathering.
The blue sky is like washing, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
The open space on the east shore of Shihu Lake is divided into three venues by brightly colored flower barriers, each of which is lined with 20 tables, and the makeshift stove is directly south of the dining area, neatly furnished and fully equipped with utensils, this scene has the feeling of cooking live in the countryside of birds and flowers. Far away, the crowds of people rushing to the market are bustling on the other side, and those who show the bustle of bustling across the water also dyed this quiet area with a touch of lively color.
All in all, this place should be very quiet and elegant, of course, this was before Su Miao arrived.
Su Miao, the last of the four groups of players, arrived, and yawned.
"They didn't take this game seriously at all." After Yuan Hong watched the group of people come to their own area, everyone at each station put on funny half-cut aprons and said disdainfully.
"Master Jiang has said that this game is not a total score, presumably they also feel bored, and they plan to be perfunctory, don't you see that they don't even hire a buddy, how do you look at those men, they are all scholars, it seems that they are the ones who often come to Jichunzhai, and I don't know what the relationship is with Miss Su, and those two women, it seems to be Miss Su's sisters. is so perfunctory, it seems that Miss Su is here to play. Cai Qing said with a pout.
"She's here to play, yes, but she's not going to be perfunctory. There are also those young people and her sister-in-law who were originally their Su Ji's buddies, and the princess of Ruiwang's Mansion is still the dim sum chef in their shop. Changsheng said with a grin.
“…… What is the origin of this Miss Su? Yuan Hong and Cai Qing were dumbfounded for a while with dumbfounded expressions, and asked with difficulty.
"Just a girl. I remember when you two didn't see her before. has always called her 'sinister woman' and 'stinky girl with hair that hasn't grown yet', why did she change it to 'Miss Su' when she saw a real person now, and she let the two of you worship her so much? Changsheng asked with a smile.
"It's not. Big brother, you are so careful, how can you worship, like that kind of stinky, stinky ......" Since tasting Su Miao's sea urchin fried rice, Yuan Hong could no longer call out the words "stinky girl", he patted his mouth.
"Do you think that the judges were blind when I tied with her in the last game?" Changsheng smiled and continued to ask.
"It's not. How could it be! Yuan Hong smiled, laughed halfway, and suddenly felt that it was not right to answer like this. No, it's the eldest brother's superb cooking, and the judges are just blind...... Blind ......"
"You're really not good at saying things against your will." Changsheng said slowly, his lips still smiling. He looked at Su Miao's dining area with a flat face. "Good popularity is good, and there are customers who take the initiative to come to the door before it opens!"
A baby-faced lively and pretty girl appeared at the main entrance of the flower-woven flower with a dozen or so flower-like girls, and the baby-faced girl blushed and called out happily:
"Brother Su Yan, I brought my sisters!"
Su Yan, who was arranging the table, stiffened his back and didn't dare to look back for a long time.
The clerk who passed by him laughed, and behind the girls was a wave of young people in the academy, these were the classmates and friends they had made these days. He and Ning Le greeted him.
"Brother Su Yan! Brother Su Yan! The baby-faced girl came to Su Yan in three steps and two steps, blinking with a pair of big eyes. Little lark spun around him, chirping.
"Belly Pocket Girl?" Su Miao stood in front of the stove, looked at Su Yan's embarrassed expression, and asked with a happy smile.
Aftertaste nodded.
"The girl is so open now! Alas, Yan'er has finally reached this age, and I am really relieved that he can like the girl! Su Miao said with relief.
"Although I am relieved, I will never let the girl who gave her belly pocket to others." Su Chan said with a tense face.
"Chan'er, you can't be a vicious sister-in-law!" Su Miao said with a smile.
Su Chan snorted.
"You misunderstood, she didn't give me the belly pocket, I accidentally bumped into her, and her newly made belly pocket fell to the ground and she was embarrassed to pick it up and ran away!" Su Yan walked over and tried his best to defend himself, pointing to the aftertaste, "It's all strange and nasty, nonsense, she actually said that she wanted to give it to me!" ”
"You didn't think of that, it just means you're too young." The aftertaste is cut with vegetables, and the words are serious and authentic.
"Does that mean you're experienced?" Su Miao glanced at him and asked.
"When my second brother took me out to play when I was a child, there were always girls passing in front of him, wrestling, and then either dropping a handkerchief and dropping an embroidered shoe or dropping a belly pocket, I said let him go back, but the second brother said that it was deliberately given to him by other girls." The aftertaste carves a turnip flower intently, Dao.
"Where is your second brother taking you?" Su Miaohu asked suspiciously.
"It's all girls' places." Aftertaste replied nonchalantly.
"Drop your belly pocket, that's Hualou, right?" Su Chan clasped her hands to her chest and said coldly.
"It's not a flower building, there are no flowers, it's a restaurant, it's full of girls who are not afraid of the cold, with heavy makeup, the fat powder smell can choke people to death, and the dishes are good. I went there once, and when I came back, my mother beat me and my second brother one by one, and I don't know why, anyway, I haven't been there since. Aftertaste replied very seriously.
Su Miao, Su Chan: "......"
"Third sister, what is Hualou?" Su Yan asked curiously.
"You don't have to know." Su Chan replied firmly.
Su Yan flattened his mouth in disappointment.
"Yan'er, do you like that baby-faced girl?" Su Miao looked at the little girl who was sitting on the seat and cast peach eyes at Su Yan, and asked Su Yan with a smile.
"I don't like it." Su Yan replied.
"Why? Isn't she cute, she's also beautiful. Su Miao asked in surprise.
"I like girls who are free-spirited, cheerful, smiling, majestic, older than me, and most importantly only eat what I cook." Su Yan held his slightly red face with both hands and said shyly.
"......" everyone looked at him with speechless expressions.
After Su Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt embarrassed for a while, and smiled. He turned around and ran away.
"Great, Yan'er really likes girls. I'm so relieved! Su Miao let out a long sigh of relief, slightly excited.
"He said he liked older women." The aftertaste is cut and the dish is reminded lightly.
"It doesn't matter, the female junior holds the gold brick, haven't you heard of it?" Su Miao smiled and waved her hand.
"What if he brings back a woman who is older than the eldest sister?" Su Chan asked coldly.
"Why didn't you say he would bring back a woman older than his mother?" Su Miao said speechlessly.
"Brother Yan'er's eccentric temperament is indeed possible." Aftertaste leaned over to her.
Su Miao slashed at the cutting board and glared at him fiercely.
"It's only been so long since it opened!" Hui Gan stood outside the gate of the flower barrier. Looking at the open-air restaurant that is almost full, he said with a smile.
Liang Chang and Liang Min stood on either side of him, both in ordinary casual clothes. In the eyes of outsiders, they are just two low-key rich sons, but their handsome appearance still attracts the attention of many people, especially women.
"The princess is really here." Liang Chang looked at the corner of the stove in the distance and said softly.
Liang Min was slightly stunned. looked at Lin Yan, who was standing in front of the steamer next to Su Miao, smiling and steaming snacks. A pair of eyes sank. He had heard Hui Gan say that Lin Yan might come to help Su Miao, and he had guessed in his heart that she would come to help, but he didn't expect that she would really come here to help regardless of face, especially after attending the banquet in the Dongping Hou Mansion. She is different from Huiwei, although Huiwei's life experience is well known, he has never been on the family tree, but Lin Yan is on the family tree, she is the princess who represents the face of Rui Wangfu. As a princess, she actually did that......
He was very angry, if he had gone to pull her down and reprimanded her before. But the current situation, for some reason, he was just there to get angry, but he didn't make any other moves.
Hui Gan smiled and pushed Liang Min to sit down in an empty seat, Su Yan walked over with a smile, and just wanted to give a salute, but was stopped by Hui Gan:
"It's all your own people, don't be polite, Si'er, if there's anything delicious, the second brother hasn't had breakfast yet!"
Su Yanxiao blushed and responded, glanced at Hui Gan, turned around and ran to serve the food, first told Su Miao to let her make a few delicious signature dishes, and then smiled happily:
"Second sister, the second brother is so gentle every time, gentle, learned and popular, he looks like a girl than me, but he doesn't care at all, but he is chic and manly, I also want to be like him, if only my brother were my brother!"
"It's just that you have a simple temperament, if you don't even have good eyes and brains, and you learn something that you shouldn't learn, your second sister will be even more worried." Aftertaste glanced at him and said.
Su Yan puffed out his cheeks and glared at him angrily: "I want you to take care of it!" He twisted his head and walked away with a grunt.
Su Miao looked at the aftertaste with a smile.
"Why?" Aftertaste asked.
"Are you jealous that Yan'er likes you, and your second brother doesn't like you?" Su Miao asked with a smile.
"Huh? Nonsense! Aftertaste has an uncomfortable expression.
"Yan'er likes you very much, he is just embarrassed to admit it, because he really hated you at first."
Aftertaste glanced at her, snorted, and didn't look over.
"Boiled kale, dry pot cabbage, scallion oil snail slices, sweet and sour sour squirrel, braised lion's head, this dish is goat's milk mushroom soup, this dish of purple potato and yam cake is included, please use it slowly." Su Chan led the clerk forward, put the four plates on her two arms steadily, placed the plates on the table safely and smoothly in everyone's jaw-dropping expressions, finished reporting the dishes with a blank face, and turned around to leave.
"Su San'er, Su San'er!" Hui Gan greeted him with a stack of voices, and said with a smile, "You girl, you are always so impatient!" I ask you, who made this lion's head? ”
"Second sister."
"Yes, I thought it was made by our family." Hui Gan was a little disappointed, Hui Wei's signature dish was the lion's head, and he thought that Hui Wei had helped this time, "Ah Wei, he really plans to give Xiao Miaomiao all the time?" ”
"His skills are not as good as my second sister, and letting him get started will mess up my second sister's game." Su Chan said politely.
"Su San'er, are you despising my family's San'er?" Hui asked unhappily.
"Do you look down on my second sister because she came out of a small restaurant, so do you think that coming out of Huixiang Building can crush my second sister?" Su Chan asked back with a tense face.
In an instant, lightning and thunder, fire and lightning, and small crackling sparks scurried between the sight of the two, and the clerk seemed to see a big dog standing behind both of them, staring at each other menacingly.
Is this what the owner said when the younger brother controls the patient and the sister controls the patient?
"This soup is good, it's very smooth and glutinous, how do you make it?" Unable to resist the tempting fragrance wafting from the dining table, Liang Chang, who couldn't help but move first, asked in amazement.
"Back to Your Highness, it is goat's milk and mushroom soup, our host's signature dish, first melt the butter in the pot, then turn to low heat and add flour and stir well, wait until the butter is lumpy, pour in the goat's milk many times, each time you have to wait until the butter is completely melted before adding, until you can no longer see the butter lumps. Then turn to medium heat while stirring and heat, wait until the milk soup becomes sticky, pour in mint and cardamom powder, stir and heat for a while, then pour in a little wine and clear stock, then put in sliced white mushrooms, fresh shrimp and green onion white rings, and then pour in the spice powder prepared by our owner before coming out of the pot. You can't add salt to this soup, and the main thing to eat is the mellow and thick milk soup. ”
Liang Chang looked at him in a little surprise, he was no longer surprised that goat's milk and mushrooms could be eaten like this, and Su Miao, a small Fengzhou chef, was able to master the butter dishes that only the imperial chef of the palace was good at:
"Are you...... Readers, right? He asked with interest.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the student was in the official school in Fengzhou before, because the date of the township examination was approaching, Mr. sent the student and others to Chongru Academy to study until the end of the township examination."
"What is the relationship between you and the Su family?" Although this man is full of books, his business proficiency is completely a fellow.
"Back to Your Highness, the student is a buddy from Su Ji Pinxian Building." The clerk replied calmly.
"Are you a student or a buddy?" These are two roles that cannot be played at all, not to mention that the gentleman is far away from the cook, and it is unheard of for a scholar to be a partner.
"Back to Your Highness, the owner took me in, who was penniless and had nowhere to go, and I had to use my work to pay off the debt to the owner before I didn't make it to the list."
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of scholar like you, and all the people I've met before are sour and rotten people who don't bend their waists for firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and don't bow to the worldly atmosphere, you can put down your self-esteem and pay off your debts, that's good."
"The owner said that people who can't even live are not qualified to call themselves 'scholars.'" The clerk smiled faintly, and it happened that a guest greeted him with a "Little Brother Wen", he answered, and then smiled respectfully, "If His Highness has no other instructions, the student will retire first." ”
Liang Chang nodded, watched him leave calmly, and then looked at Su Miao, who was standing behind the stove and playing fancy cooking, grinning and enjoying himself:
"It's not bad for a girl to say that."
"Your Highness, that's my little brother and sister." Hui Gan smiled and reminded him.
Liang Chang came back to his senses, met his suspicious eyes, and smiled:
"I didn't mean that! Don't think about it! (To be continued......)
