Chapter 169: Kitchen and Martial Arts
"Do you know how to cook?"
Su Weiyun said: "Why can't I understand? ”
The old woman's tone was calm, she couldn't hear her joy or anger, and said, "Okay, let's go to the back kitchen with Su Daxia to take a look at his peerless craftsmanship." ”
"Lu Daxia, please!"
Lu Zhongyuan laughed: "It seems that you can feast on it today." ”
Immediately, Murong Shuang and Murong Shanshan supported the old woman from left to right, leading Su Weiyun, Lu Zhongyuan, Chen Fengchao, Nangong Liu and others to the kitchen.
Walking to the east, the fewer flowers bloom, and the willows become thinner.
But the courtyard here suddenly widened, and I saw a lot of family members running back and forth in the yard.
The corners of the compound are stacked with dry wood, neatly arranged on one side, and in the center of the courtyard someone is chopping wood.
When he went into the house, he saw many maids washing vegetables and washing the dishes and chopsticks, and the fire was already burning in the kitchen.
Although this is a kitchen in a large courtyard, it is still operated in an orderly and orderly manner.
The old woman pointed to the maids of the family and said, "How many people does Su Daxia want to fight, just take care of it." ”
Su Weiyun said: "Only two people are needed." ”
The old woman said, "Who? ”
Su Weiyun looked at Murong Shuang, who had a spicy swordsmanship and a hot temper, and said with a smile: "A Nangong Liu, a second sister Murong is very suitable." ”
Murong Shuang exclaimed: "Me? Do you want me and Nangong to wash the vegetables and light the fire for you? The"
Su Weiyun smiled but did not speak.
The old woman sighed: "Shuang'er, you should dance with knives and guns all day long, and do more housework." Go quickly, everything is under the orders of Su Weiyun, and it can be regarded as a sister to cook a good meal for your ninth sister. ”
Of course, Murong Shuang knew that Su Weiyun was taking the opportunity to take revenge on her, but the head of the family had already given orders, and although she had ten thousand reluctances in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey.
Nangong Liu comforted her a few words, and then went into the kitchen with her.
"Huh? Su Daxia, aren't you coming in? ”
Su Weiyun said: "The two of you will prepare one or two for me first, I will chop some firewood, and I will light firewood later." ”
Murong Shuang said loudly: "Although my Murong family is not as good as the Shifting Flower Palace, there is still firewood for making fire, and there is no need for 'Su Daxia' your old man to do it himself!" ”
Naturally, she would no longer be rude to Su Weiyun like before, but the irony hidden in her words was still undiminished.
Su Weiyun ignored it, sat alone in the middle of the courtyard, picked up the firewood knife, took a piece of wood, and chopped it down with a horizontal knife.
"Cooking requires meticulous effort, and if the firewood is cut poorly and burned poorly, it will inevitably make the heat poor."
Click!
The blade fell, and a piece of wood was split in half at the right end, extremely symmetrical. It's almost like it's made out of measure.
Su Weiyun put aside the two pieces of firewood and continued to chop firewood seriously.
The old woman said slowly: "I have heard the old sage Kong say in the past, 'If the meat is not right, it will not be eaten', but I haven't heard that the original firewood should also be textured, is it so exquisite?" ”
Lu Zhongyuan stood aside, and suddenly said lightly: "It doesn't matter if the texture of firewood is correct or not, the important thing is that the heart is right, the intention is right, and the spirit is right." He seems to be chopping wood, but he is actually righteous. Whether it is cooking or practicing martial arts, this is actually the same truth. ”
When Qin Jian heard this, he suddenly lowered his head and thought about it, as if he had an understanding.
After a while, the old woman said, "Shanshan, have you listened to Senior Lu's words well?" ”
Murong Shanshan didn't know why the old woman suddenly asked her head, and hurriedly said, "Listen, Senior Lu said that you should be sincere and upright. ”
The old woman sighed, "You have listened, but it is no different from not listening." You better take a good look at how Su Daxia chops firewood and cooks. I can't imagine that he is so young, he has such wisdom and realm, and his future achievements will definitely not be within your reach! ”
Qin Jian suddenly sighed and said: "The head of the family is very right, between Brother Su chopping wood and burning the fire, there is a profound martial arts truth, and there is something in common between martial arts and kitchen Taoism."
Click, click, click
Su Weiyun traveled smoothly, took out fifty quick knives in a row, and chopped out a hundred pieces of firewood before he personally carried the firewood to the kitchen.
Then, Su Weiyun and Nangong Liu picked up all kinds of dishes together, washed them one by one, and placed them in a regular manner. The knives are in place, the meat is on the anvils, and the whole kitchen seems to be completely new.
Su Weiyun picked up a smooth white radish, and after looking at it carefully, he cut it with a knife, and praised it: "'Mr. Divine Eye' really lives up to its reputation, and there is no filth on the dish, there is Brother Laonangong." ”
Nangong Liu arched his hand and said, "Pass the prize." ”
"If the two of you are fine, you can go out and wait for good news."
Murong Shuang said disdainfully: "Hmph, are you still afraid that we will steal art and learn skills?" ”
Su Weiyun's knife flew like a dragon, and he said casually: "If Second Sister Murong is willing to suffer from the smoke and fire, it might as well stay here." ”
At some point, the firewood under the stove was lit.
Immediately, Nangong Liu pulled Murong Shuang out of the door, stood with everyone, and watched the curling fireworks rise in the kitchen from afar.
Everyone was not in a hurry, they waited slowly, chatting casually.
After a while, the first dish was served, which was a dish of "hot and sour lotus root slices".
The old woman took a look at it, and did not taste it with chopsticks, but just smelled it lightly, and said: "Good dish, lotus root can clear the heart and fire, and the sour and spicy taste should be appetizing." Good, good! ”
Although Lu Zhongyuan didn't really eat it, he couldn't help but move his index finger when he looked at its shape, observed its color, smelled its taste, and said, "I didn't expect Little Brother Su to have such cooking skills!" ”
"It's a good dish." The old woman admired and instructed the people next to her, "Go and set the table in the Biyan Pavilion on the side, we will dine there today, understand?" ”
"Yes, the head of the house, the villain will arrange it immediately!"
Murong Shuang and Murong Shanshan looked at each other. Of course, some of the nine sisters of Murong can cook and have good cooking skills, but unfortunately they are not in the villa now.
The two of them are not good at this, and they have no right to talk more.
After a short while, the second dish was ready, a plate of spiced pork ribs. Before it is served, it is fragrant and fragrant in the courtyard.
So everyone had more confidence in Su Weiyun and looked forward to it.
The old woman simply said, "Shuang'er, you go and call your ninth sister to come to Biyan Pavilion." If Lu Daxia is not too far away, he and his concubine move a hundred steps and sit down first. ”
Lu Zhongyuan said: "The guest is as good as the host." ”
Nangong Liu said: "Seniors, don't worry, we are waiting for Brother Su here." ”
Su Weiyun stir-fried over high heat, cooking quickly and bringing out one delicious dish after another like flowing water.
When he finally walked out the door, there was still a pot of fresh soup boiled with fresh ingredients such as fungus, chrysanthemum, green vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms.
Su Weiyun himself brought out a steamed sea bass and beckoned Nangong Liu and the others: "Please go and ask the kitchen to make a few more side dishes, and remember to serve my big pot of soup when serving." ”
Afterwards, Chen Fengchao, Nangong Liu and Qin Jian led Su Weiyun to Biyan Pavilion.
On the road.
As the four of them walked, Nangong Liu suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Su, with the deliciousness of these dishes, it is not a problem to win people's appetites." It's just that have you ever thought about how to meet the ninth sister? ”
Su Weiyun's expression changed, and she asked slowly: "She has lost her martial arts, is she doing well?" ”
"Ugh."
Qin Jian suddenly let out a long sigh.
Chen Fengchao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's no wonder that the second sister made things so difficult for you to Brother Su before, you will understand after you see the ninth sister." ”
Su Weiyun looked at the three of them uneasily, and quickened her pace slightly.
