Chapter 222: Warmth

The heavy rain finally stopped for an hour and a half, although Su Miao refused Liang Min's proposal to send someone to send her, Liang Min still sent Gu Ren to escort Su Miao back to Yuanrong Garden, so there was a very strange scene on the street after the rain, a girl rode a slow donkey in front, and a tower-like man led a tall horse to follow behind with an expressionless face.

All the way back to the Yuanrong Garden, Su Miao asked Gu Ren to go back, carried the basket into the Yuanrong Garden by himself, walked straight to the small kitchen, borrowed the stove and vegetable sink, poured a basket of crayfish into the big basin, first carefully brushed the crayfish with a brush, and then pulled out the intestines of the crayfish. Lift the tail wing in the middle of the shrimp's tail with your hand and pull it out forcefully, and the crayfish's intestines will be pulled out.

The processed crayfish are steamed in cold water, and when the shrimp meat is steamed to just right, Su Miao thought that the aftertaste of illness must not be in the mood to peel the shrimp shell, so with the assistance of the knife, she carefully broke all the shells of the crayfish, trying not to destroy the original shape of the crayfish, and then stacked the shrimp meat neatly into the blue and white porcelain plate.

Aftertaste, I usually don't like the stimulating taste of onions, ginger and garlic, and I definitely don't like it even more when I'm sick, and I can't put these things he doesn't like when I mix the juice, and the steamed things are easy to be eaten with a fishy smell, and there is no seasoning when steaming, and if there is no delicious sauce as a spice after steaming, I will definitely feel tired.

Su Miao took a small pot from the windowsill, and in the pot was fresh soy sauce with scallops, herbs and a small amount of syrup, the fresh soy sauce had been cooked over a simmer and cooled naturally, and she strained the cool fresh soy sauce with gauze several times. Strain out the impurities and strain out the spices, then take a small spoon and pour it evenly over the steamed crayfish just out of the pan.

The freshly cooked shrimp meat is still steaming. The slightly cool fresh juice falls on it, and it is scalded by the steaming heat, and the deliciousness of the shrimp blends with the saltiness of the soy sauce, exuding a beautiful fragrance. Even if a layer of salty soy sauce is poured on it, the natural and authentic flavor of the steamed crayfish is not destroyed, on the contrary, two completely different flavors collide together. After the fierce sparks burst out, the harmonious and feminine taste is extremely seductive.

The little cooks in the Yuanrong Garden, who worked in the kitchen, were attracted by this fragrance and raised their heads one after another. Look at it curiously.

At this end, Su Miao lifted the small clay pot sitting on the stove next to her, stirred it with a bamboo spoon, and scooped it up. Took a bite. Smiled and narrowed.

The fragrant japonica rice porridge is smooth and soft and glutinous, and melts in the mouth.

She took a small bowl of colored glaze and served it with steamed crayfish, and thanked the kitchen master before leaving.

"Miss Su, don't you take all this porridge?" The kitchen manager called out to her and asked.

Su Miao glanced back at the crockpot, tilted her head and thought about it. smiled and said: "I guess he can't eat so much, you can dispose of it." He said. He walked away without looking back.

"What the disposal means, can we eat it?" A little guy who was standing next to the stove used by Su Miao and was doing chores heard this, and asked with sparkling eyes, the little boy was the time to be greedy.

"Miss Su is the favorite to win this year's Chef King Competition, the porridge she cooked...... "The other teenager clicked his mouth, staring at the remaining half of the jar of japonica rice porridge with burning eyes, and he almost drooled.

The expressions of the young guys around them and the two teenagers were strikingly similar, and they all stared directly at the clay pot, and the japonica rice porridge cooked by the legendary favorite to win the championship, everyone wanted to taste and see how delicious it was.

"Go, go, little rabbits, hurry up and get to work, dare to be lazy, see if Lao Tzu doesn't clean you up!" The kitchen manager sent Su Miao away, turned around and walked over quickly, waving his chubby arms like a fly, and said in a loud voice.

The little guys were driven away, unconvinced, flattened their mouths, but had to disperse, back to their jobs still looking at the kitchen manager with the corner of their eyes, sure enough, I saw that the dead fat man who was the best at eating alone actually quietly took the crockpot away, and while walking out, he used a spoon to dig porridge from the crockpot to eat, and he had eaten no less than ten bites before he got out of the threshold of the kitchen.

Eating alone will cause hemorrhoids! All the little guys collectively slandered in their hearts.

Su Miao walked briskly towards Jichunzhai with a porridge bowl and shrimp plate with a porcelain lid, the weak wind supported the willows, and the skirt swayed through the zigzag verandah, thinking about whether Xiao Weiwei would be happy when she saw this plate of lobster, even she admired her virtuous virtue very much, she was simply too virtuous.

Humming a tune and walking forward, only to the corner, a person with a low head and a headless fly came head-on, almost knocked her down, but fortunately she was clever and subconsciously took half a step back, so as to avoid the "crash", and the shrimp and porridge in her hand were not scattered.

She blinked her eyes twice in shock, and looked at it, so dead, the person who came was actually Zhou Cheng, and when she was in a good mood, she met this person who made her feel uncomfortable from head to toe from the inside out, Su Miao's little face became strange.

Zhou Cheng looked over and found that the person he almost bumped into turned out to be Su Miao, Su Miao was holding the tray with a very virtuous attitude, and this posture did not mean that he was preparing food for himself. Zhou Cheng's mood is a little delicate, it is a kind of thing that he once didn't want is now more nourishing than himself, and because he has found a new object, he is more comfortable and happy than when he was with him, he feels very annoyed, this feeling is not jealousy, maybe there is a little jealousy, but what is more profound is that only when his predecessor is worse than him will he feel psychologically balanced, and now that his predecessor is more comfortable than him, his heart is naturally uncomfortable.

He looked at her with a look that made Su Miao very unhappy.

Usually when she almost "crashes" with others, Su Miao will politely apologize politely and then get out of the way, but the person who almost "crashed" today is her most annoying, Zhou Cheng is the person she is most tired of, not hatred or anger, but both tired and annoying, I don't know what's going on, every time she sees Zhou Cheng, she wants to go up and kick him, even if he doesn't do anything, she wants to kick him, so when Zhou Cheng stares at her with eyes that she doesn't like at all, she becomes more and more angry. Loud Voice:

"Staring at the eyes, those two holes in your nose are out of gas!"

She scolded too tactfully, and Zhou Cheng thought about it for a long time before he understood the meaning of her words. Furious, glaring at her fiercely, as if he were about to eat her, he grimaced a gloomy face, and said disdainfully:

"It's just that I hooked up with a little white face, and I don't know how ashamed you look at your eyebrows dancing all day long! I don't know exactly what my aunt taught you. An unmarried woman openly shares a room with a man, when did the Su family not even want a reputation? If you corrupt the door as unscrupulously as you do, if your father were alive. He's going to break your leg, and poor aunt can't discipline you. You weren't like this before, how did you make yourself like this, I really feel sorry for you! The more he spoke, the more regretful he became. The more you talk, the angrier you get. It seems that hatred of iron is not steel to educate Su Miao.

The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, looked at him with an incredible expression for a while, and asked dumbly:

"You grieve for me? Which green onion are you? ”

Zhou Cheng shut his mouth, he looked at her gloomily, and after a while, he smiled contemptuously:

"Ah Miao, do you think you have the upper hand in speaking, and you will be able to step on me in tomorrow's competition? A woman is a woman. It's naΓ―ve. ”

Su Miao snorted and laughed: "Zhou Cheng, do you think you are pressing me in terms of age." Will you win me tomorrow? A nerd is a nerd, no matter how old he is, he is so lacking in heart. ”

"You ......" Zhou Cheng's face turned black and he was furious.

"It's a mule or a horse, tomorrow in the fourth round of elimination, if you are really anxious, I will kindly tell you, you will lose tomorrow's game, for the sake of face if you abstain before the start of the game, I don't care. I'm very busy today, and I'm going to deliver porridge to Xiao Weiwei at this time, you get out of the way for me, I don't have time to talk to you here. Su Miao said unhurriedly, directly bypassing Zhou Cheng and walking in the direction of Jichunzhai.

Zhou Cheng's face was dark and blue, he glared angrily at Su Miao's distant back, a pair of fists tightened under the sleeves of his robe, he took a sip hatefully, and whispered angrily:

"Little hoof, wait until tomorrow, see if you still dare to be proud, tomorrow, Lao Tzu wants to see what that old guy Su Dong taught you behind his back!"

Su Miao ignored Zhou Cheng's bluffing words behind her, and trotted back to Jichunzhai, the eaves were still dripping with the morning rain, Su Miao slipped into the aftertaste of the room, the room was quiet, and an elegant but rich incense spread in the air, probably because he lit incense again.

Su Miao held the tray, walked over with a smile, the aftertaste had woken up, and was lying on the bed on his back looking at the top of the bed quietly, when he heard the sound, he turned around and asked unhappily:

"Where did you go again, you said you went to the kitchen, but you went for most of the day?"

"I'm going to look for lobsters, but unfortunately there are no lobsters, only crayfish, they're all lobsters anyway, they're all about the same, so you can eat them fresh." Su Miao said as she brought the tray over and put it on him, and sat up with the aftertaste, Su Miao put her coat over him to cover his back, and touched his forehead again, "It's not burning anymore, it's okay now, don't invite Langzhong, eat it, I cook the porridge you like to eat, I didn't even put salt, and the sauce was just soy sauce, no onions, ginger and garlic." ”

Aftertaste sat on the bed, looking at the porcelain lid on the plate when it was lifted, the red and white crayfish meat on the plate was crystal clear and slightly glowing with white heat, the shrimp shell of the crayfish has been artificially peeled, of course he would not be stupid enough to think that Su Miao is because he likes to peel the shrimp shell, so there is no shrimp shell left, even if he is not a chef, he has been a diner and understands how difficult the shrimp shell of crayfish is, and he has never been patient with things other than his own work. Even the fish bones wanted to be picked clean and then eaten, she patiently peeled off all the shrimp shells, and his heart swelled up with an indescribable taste, the complex taste mixed with many emotions spread out in the chest, so that he was still in the sick The whole person was boring and gloomy, he suddenly felt cheerful, and the ripples of pleasure rippled between his chest, he felt warm from the inside out, and the sickly lips couldn't help but hook up a touch of arc.

"Where did this crayfish come from, isn't there no kitchen, why is there again?" Aftertaste asked with a smile.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "How do you know that there are no lobsters in the kitchen?" ”

"I saw that you didn't come back for a long time, so I asked people to go to the kitchen to ask, and the people in the kitchen said there were no lobsters, and when they asked you, they didn't know where you had gone." Huiwei picked up the porcelain spoon and stirred the porridge in the porcelain bowl slowly and methodically. The green japonica rice porridge has slender rice grains, smooth and soft glutinous, and the gum in the rice grains has been completely boiled out. Use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful, delicate and clear, soft and waxy, but will not stick to the spoon into a lump. Even if you cook a bowl of porridge, the fragrance of this porridge is still just right, one point less light, one point too strong.

"I went to catch crayfish on the edge of Stone Lake. The head of the small kitchen told me to go to the fishmonger on Fuchun Street, but the fishmonger on Fuchun Street didn't have crayfish on hand, so I went to the pond by the stone lake to catch it myself, so I went. It turns out that there are many ponds by the stone lake, and there are a lot of crayfish in the ponds, and if it weren't for the rain, I would definitely catch more. By the way, I also met your eldest brother on the edge of Shihu, he didn't know where he went, and when he passed by, he went to the pavilion to hide from the rain, and I met him. Although I don't hate him, but his temperament is really not very likable, and I kind of understand why Kobayashi ran away from home. Su Miao sat on the small bench under the bed, put her hands on the edge of the bed, and said lazily.

Huiwei didn't care about Liang Min and Lin Yan, he was very surprised, looked at the crayfish on the plate in front of him for a while, looked at her, and asked incredulously:

"You caught these shrimps?"

Su Miao nodded: "All the crayfish in the fishmonger's hand were taken away by the restaurant, and they were all on vacation when it rained heavily, so I had to catch them myself." ”

"It's raining heavily, and you're going to catch crayfish at the lake?" I didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, he looked at her with a helpless look, but it was undeniable that his heart swelled up with an unusually gentle feeling, this touch of affection was extremely warm, warmed his heart, and made his heart extremely soft.

"Because you want to eat." Su Miao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her answer, paused, and smiled, "It's not a taste to catch shrimp on a rainy day." ”

Looking at her in retrospect, she said lightly, "Because you want to eat", a very simple sentence, but like the strongest storm, rolled up a wild wave in his heart, he looked at her soft and mellow little face that was always exuding a bright look, looked at her intently for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Laughing at what?" Su Miao looked at his bright smile and was stunned, it was not the first time she had seen him smile, but this time there seemed to be something new in her smile, a little bright, bright, and bright.

Aftertaste shook his head slightly, picked up the crayfish that had been peeled off, and took a big bite. (To be continued......)
