This meal Changsheng invited, Su Miao picked up a big bargain, and returned satisfied, on the way, Chunniang also held Su Chan's arm and said to her that the dishes made by Changsheng were super delicious, Su Chan put her hands on her waist and didn't say a word.

The box on the second floor of the Pinxian Building.

Tong Ran stood in front of the window and watched them leave, the door behind him was pushed open, Changsheng walked in, and said with a smile:

"Miss Su is an interesting person."

Tong Ran didn't answer.

Changsheng stepped forward, stood side by side with him in front of the window, looked downstairs, paused, and said with a smile:

"But I really didn't expect that person to be the one who made you fail miserably in the competition before, why did the character of the pride of the sky suddenly appear in Qin An, and he was still mixed with a little-known little girl?"

A pair of willow eyes narrowed slightly, Tong Ran looked straight at the group of people downstairs and drifting away, snorted coldly with disdain, and said:

"Since he left Liangdu, he has been finished, and he is just a waste now after he is willing to fall."

Changsheng was slightly stunned, glanced at his cold side face, and then at the people walking away downstairs, paused, and said with a smile:

"I think he's very happy, Ah Ran, you stretched yourself too hard."

For some reason, hearing Changsheng say such words, Tong Ran suddenly became violently angry, his face changed color, and even the aura around his body turned into a blazing darkness in an instant, and the darkness was terrifying. He was cold silent for a long time, sneered, and said in a gloomy voice:

"What is the way, there is too much shame on my back, and this is my fate."

It was obvious to him that Changsheng froze all over his body the moment he finished speaking. Even the smile on his lips could no longer be maintained, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing. As if deeply hurt, sad and lonely.

Such an expression pleased Tong Ran, although he didn't look at Changsheng's face, he could feel the desolation emanating from his body, so Tong Ran's heart swelled with a burst of distorted pleasure, but this pleasure made him feel guilty, and under the distorted guilt was the suffocation of the heart, which was uncomfortable. It hurts, but he doesn't leave, because he always feels that if he leaves first, he will lose.

"Ahran. I'm sorry. After a long time, Changsheng hung his head and chuckled, then turned around and withdrew as if he didn't want to disturb him anymore.

There was a faint sound of the door closing shut. Tong Ran was the only one left standing alone in the silent and empty room. After a long time, the hand holding the folding fan tightened imperceptibly, and the fingertips that pinched the handle of the fan became more and more pale.

The moon moves and the shadow of the flowers, and everything is quiet.

The house was stuffy, Su Miao sat on the stone mill in the backyard with a bag of baked potato chips to cool off, but half a bag was snatched away by passers-by in less than half an hour, and because she was sitting cross-legged on the millstone, she was seen by Mrs. Su and Hu Shi who were passing by and counted her down. said that she was "very aggressive", so "I hesitated to marry you when I returned to my brother". Finally waiting for them to say that they were tired and left, Su Miao touched the ears of the calloon. I was about to jump off the mill and go back to the house, but after dinner, I went out and never returned, and I asked:

"What are you doing sitting here?"

"Why did you come back, what time did it be?" Su Miao frowned and said. When he said he was going out, she was worried that he would get lost, and he said it didn't matter, but he never came back, and she thought he was lost.

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, then smiled, walked over and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

"Not really! I'm enjoying the cold, don't you see me holding potato chips, who is waiting for you, don't be sentimental! Su Miao denied it repeatedly.

Aftertaste smiled, leaning back against the stone mill.

Su Miao glanced at him and handed him the potato chips in her hand. After glancing at the aftertaste, I took a slice and put it in my mouth, it was crunchy.

"When the old Xu family comes to deliver the chickens tomorrow, ask them whose ducks and geese are well raised, and let's bring in a few. And crabs, and indeed when it's time to eat crabs, let's get some too. There are also shrimp, the big ones, and next month's menu will focus on duck, shrimp and crab. ”

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, and he turned his head and asked, "Do you want to learn the signature dish of Xian Lou?" ”

"Then you still need to learn? Hibiscus roast goose? How can a roast goose without pillar sauce be considered an authentic roast goose? Su Miao said disapprerovingly, "Originally, roast goose was not a local dish in Fengzhou, but Fengzhou people love to eat fresh, since they love freshness, I will give them fresh, roast goose, roast duck and crab and eat shrimp, I will make them fresh enough." ”

Zhuhou sauce is made of soybeans and flour as raw materials, made into sauce embryo by making koji and sunburning, and steaming with lard, sugar and sesame seeds, the color is reddish brown, the soy flavor is fragrant, mellow and delicious, fresh and sweet and smooth, specially used for cooking meat. Mix salt, five-spice powder, zhuhou sauce, sugar, ginger powder, and soy sauce into the belly of the goose instead of the sauce, and the roast goose will be plump and not greasy, and it will be more delicious.

"You're really not admitting defeat." Huiwei looked at her for a while, shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't you have a little insistence of your own, blindly catering, in the end, it is possible that the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

"Doing business itself is to cater to the market, to make what customers love to eat is to open a restaurant, only do what they want to do, that is the housewife, no, the housewife also depends on whether the children are willing to eat."

Huiwei thought about it, nodded and said lightly: "That's it, I know, you are the head chef, whatever you want, I will listen to it." ”

"Also, tomorrow I will put a recruitment notice on the door and recruit a dim sum chef to come back."

"Dim sum chef?" I was stunned for a while.

"You also saw it today, when we first arrived at Pinxian Building, we didn't have a meal, and when we left, the seats gradually filled, which shows that even if it is a restaurant under the Tong family, there are not many guests when we don't have a meal. But I heard Ah Yang say that their refreshments are delicious, and there are a lot of people who go to drink tea when they don't have a meal. ”

"Indeed, restaurants are not like small restaurants, the price is cheap, and the time for guests to come to the door is not fixed.

"So, if there is a delicious refreshment, someone will come to drink tea, and while drinking, you may be hungry, and then order some delicious side dishes, and drink two cups of good wine, even if it is not to the meal, it is so leisurely and leisurely. So the dim sum chef is very important. Recruit one well. ”

"You don't know how to make refreshments?" Aftertaste asked suspiciously.

"No, it won't." She can't make Chinese dim sum if it's a little more complicated, but she can do Western dim sum, but where is the butter cheese?

"Really? Don't Toyosu women make refreshments? ”

Su Miao was stunned: "Could it be that all the women in Liangdu can make refreshments?" ”

"Of course. The women of Liangdu like to have tea parties from commoners to nobles, and there is a daughter-in-law who is good at making refreshments who can face her mother-in-law, so there are no women in Liangdu who can't make refreshments, and women who can't make refreshments are generally not allowed to enter the door. He replied solemnly.

Su Miao clicked on the potato chips, thought for a while, tilted her head, and sighed lightly: "That's really strict!" ”

Aftertaste nodded.

Su Miao suddenly remembered Uncle White-haired. What kind of woman will the white-haired uncle's daughter-in-law be, she can't think of it even if she breaks her head, and looks at the side face of the aftertaste. Suddenly leaned over and asked curiously:

"Your mother, are people scary?"

I was stunned for a moment and thought about it. Answer: "She doesn't like to talk much. ”

The white-haired uncle who seems to be a little talkative actually married a wife who doesn't like to talk. Su Miao touched her lips and thought about it, but when she looked down at the aftertaste, she found that he was half-lowered and fell into deep thought, without saying a word, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Su Miao remembered that time when she had a short conversation with Hui Daddy, Hui Dad seemed to be very worried about this son, and from Hui Daddy's words, she had already guessed that the person who had a dispute with Hui Wei was not Hui Dad who ran away from home, that is to say. He must have quarreled with his mother, so he ran out of the house.

What the hell happened to him and his mother? Su Miaobian flattened her mouth, very curious, but seeing that he didn't say a word, she didn't ask after thinking for a long time, her body leaned and half leaned on him, and her eyes looked at the starry sky.

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, glanced sideways at her, and smiled: "Why did you suddenly become so well-behaved?" ”

Su Miao didn't answer, still looking at the moon.

Aftertaste smiled, and when his eyes swept over her, he inadvertently fell on her hand, so he held it.

The two of them stayed quietly in the courtyard, one sitting and the other standing, looking at the silver-white moon in the sky.

Su Ji changed the main dish, after the launch of the roast goose, roast duck and crab four kinds of shrimp and eight plates, the first loyal old customers have eaten and praised, because it is improved on the basis of the signature dish of Pinxian Building, so all the guests who have eaten Pinxian Lou occasionally come back to taste fresh say that although it is the same dish, Su Ji and Pinxian Lou make a different feeling, as if Su Ji is more gentle and delicate. So it was passed on to the hundreds, and the previous diners came back to taste it because they were curious about the difference, and Su Ji finally calmed down temporarily.

When Changsheng learned that Su Ji had imitated his private dishes, he just smiled and said, "I can taste the ingredients after only eating it once, she is really a powerful girl, and she has the potential to be a spy!" ”

Tong Ran said nothing with a calm face.

The last round of the children's examination was finally released, and a long notice was still pulled out outside the Zhizhou Yamen.

Su Yan and Ning Le went out to look at the list early in the morning without even eating, Hu Shi walked around behind the counter, chanting Buddha in his mouth as he walked, and Mrs. Su was also worshipping the Bodhisattva vigorously in the room.

Su Xian and Su Chan were also a little absent-minded, only Su Miao was quite calm, anyway, they had already finished the exam, and both of them worked hard, and the rest of the result was just a result.

"Pot." Aftertaste watched her spit out a word.

"Huh?" Su Miao was stunned.

"Pot. The soup boiled. Aftertaste looked at her and said.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment before she reacted, stared at the boiling soup pot and slowly wowed, and hurriedly ordered the ingredients.

Niu San got closer, and laughed when he saw this:

"Second girl, Brother Yan has a smart head, no problem, you can rest assured."

Su Miao didn't answer.

At this moment, a crisp shout came from outside the kitchen: "Second sister! ”

Su Miao was stunned, and Su Yan had already walked in with a smile.

Su Miao looked at his face and smiled a little unnaturally, but he was laughing. After a pause, she asked apprehensively:

"Got in?"

Su Yan grinned and nodded vigorously.

After two seconds of silence in the kitchen, Cheng Tie grabbed Su Yan's neck, rubbed his head vigorously, and laughed:

"You kid, all of a sudden, you've become a showman! Amazing, amazing! ”

"Uncle Cheng, you smell so sweaty, you hate it, don't pull my neck!" Su Yan wrinkled his face and struggled in disgust.

"It's just that this girl's chirping temperament has to be changed, and Xiucai Gong is disgusted with this and that!" Cheng Tie ignored his struggles, still rubbed his head vigorously and laughed loudly.

Su Yan struggled desperately, and there was constant laughter in the kitchen, Su Miao put her mind at ease and paused, but suddenly remembered:

"By the way, how is Xiao Lele?"

Su Yan was silent.

Everyone was stunned, and the kitchen fell silent for a moment.

Ning Le fell off the list.

On the day of the release, he wandered the streets until curfew, and when he returned, he locked himself in his room without eating, making a sound, or going out.

His failure dissipated the joy of Su Yan's examination, and Su Yan went to Changle Town to thank the teacher and came back, but he still refused to leave the house.

Su Chan couldn't hold her breath first, and got up early to deliver food to Ning Le, but Ning Le didn't open the door and ignored her, making her angry, and found Su Miao, who was picking up the oven, and said loudly:

"Second sister, you go and pull Ning Le out, it's been a few days, and you won't eat or come out of the house, if you continue like this, our family will have a murder case! It's just that he is off the list, he can go from not knowing big characters to the college exam is already God blessed, although I haven't taken the exam, but I know that there are many people who fail the college exam, and there are sixty or seventy years old who didn't pass the exam and didn't look like him, and he didn't work all day long and was locked in the house grinding and chirping, when did he have to make trouble for a man! ”

Su Miao blinked her eyes twice and sighed helplessly:

"I can't do anything, and it seems to me that little setback should be overcome quickly, but it is a very severe blow for him. I can't cheer him up, and the only person who can make him pick himself up and start again is himself, so let him figure it out quietly on his own. I guess he now feels that he is embarrassed and embarrassed to come out, and he can't even overcome this boring psychological state on his own, so how can he do it, people's hearts will only become strong after experiencing heavy blows again and again, so it is better to give him more time to self-decommote. Don't worry, he won't starve to death for his father, since he won't die of hunger strike, he will come out by himself when he can't stand being hungry. The stomach and the heart are different, when the heart is sad, it is easy to think of other things, but the stomach will be hungry when it should be hungry, and it can't be stopped. Ah, by the way, I'm roasting a duck here, and when it's done, you hang it on his window, and be careful to wrap it in lotus leaves, so as not to waste dust. ”

Su Chan looked at her directly, and after a while, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely: "Second sister, I found that you are sometimes quite black-hearted!" ”

"Where?" Su Miao tilted her head and asked with a pure and harmless face. (To be continued......)
