Shu Nuan was standing outside the door frame and looking into the house, and was caught by Wu Qirong, who was arranging work for everyone.

"Come in."

After the master beckoned, Shu Nuan walked in slowly.

And those who were talking also subconsciously looked at her.

With a bright smile on her face, Shu Nuan greeted everyone one by one.

"Things have been arranged, just like the previous two years. It's just that this time it is estimated that the number of people coming here will increase, so you should pay attention to adding some ingredients. Okay, let's get busy with whatever we need to do. I don't need anyone to guard ...... here."

After Wu Qirong spoke, the crowd gathered around him quickly dispersed and began to go about their own business.

It stands to reason that the Shu family worships their ancestors, and naturally there is no need for people with unrelated surnames to participate, but Wu Qirong is the best person in cooking in the ten miles and eight towns in the vicinity, and he has been in charge for more than ten years, and everyone has been accustomed to this arrangement, so they naturally ignore the other party's surname.

Shu Nuan saw that after the master had left, she put away the serious expression on her face, looked at her kindly, and couldn't help but smile with the corners of her mouth pursed.

"What are you smirking at? Go and help. ”

Wu Qirong pretended to be very serious, reached out and pinched her cheek.

Shu Nuan took a step back a little awkwardly: "Okay, let's go." ”

After she answered, she went outside to help.

At this time, Wu Qirong suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute, you come with me." ”

"Oh."

Shu Nuan blinked, turned around and kept up with the master's pace.

When she thought she was going to be arranged to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, the master handed her a kitchen knife.

"These dishes are going to be prepared in advance today, you can process them now."

Shu Nuan looked at the bones and pork piled up in front of him, and replied with his chin: "Okay." ”

According to the arrangement of previous years, there should be a total of nine dishes, but because there are at least 34 tables of people, the steamed vegetables need to be processed into semi-finished products today, and then steamed directly in the pot tomorrow.

"Do it slowly, not in a hurry."

After Wu Qirong said this, he turned around and went to do other things.

Now the annual ancestor worship has become an annual gathering day for the members of the Shu family, and all the people who know or don't know each other distinguish their relationships by generation at the dinner table.

Because they all have a common ancestor, even if they don't know each other, they can still smile.

While Shu Nuan was processing the ingredients, people came over one after another carrying tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.

The chopsticks family used to prepare for it, but as more and more people came back every year, they didn't buy it anymore, so it wasn't enough.

A group of people were busy, and the time soon came when the sun was setting.

That evening, people who came to help could gather here for a free dinner.

After Wu Qirong planned the number of people tonight, two tables were opened, and Shu Nuan was arranged by the master to cook today's dinner.

"You can arrange tonight's dishes."

Shu Nuan listened to the master's arrangement and was slightly stunned.

Wu Qirong was stunned when he saw this, and explained: "You also have to practice your hands, and if you can't live outside in the future, you can come back to take over my class." ”

When Shu Nuan heard that the master was preparing to cultivate himself, he nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I'll leave today's dinner." ”

Since tomorrow is the right day, tonight's dinner will not be too particular about the dishes.

All you can use tonight is some vegetables and a little pork, but that's enough to cook two tables.

"Fish-flavored eggplant, mapo tofu, hot and sour shredded potatoes, cold salad ......"

She looked around at the ingredients she could use, secretly calculating in her mind what she would want to cook in a moment.

After listing eight dishes in her heart, she asked the master for advice, and saw that the other party just nodded, but just stretched out her finger and pointed to the two big grass carp that were still in the pot.

"This is someone who sent me to eat at night, and you will cook it together in a while."

Shu Nuan glanced at the grass carp that was no longer moving, and replied, "Okay." ”

In my heart, I crossed out the ants that I was going to make and went up to the tree, and added the sauerkraut fish to the dinner menu.

With other people helping to cook and do the work, all the preparations were completed quickly, and Shu Nuan only needed to stand in front of the stove with a big iron spoon to stir-fry.

There are only two tables of noodles, and the dishes are very simple, and it only takes her half an hour to prepare them.

"I'm okay here, let's eat with dishes and chopsticks."

After Shu Nuan said hello, the others began to start serving.

Shu Nuan was washing her hands in the basin, and Master Wu Qirong came to her side and reminded: "Someone here will clean up later, let's eat first." ”

"Okay."

Shu Nuan smiled and kept up with the master's pace.

There were two tables of people, one table of women from the village who came to help, and the other table of men represented by the patriarch.

Shu Nuan carried a stool and was about to gather at the table full of women, when the master called him to the patriarch's table.

"Come here, sit next to me."

After the master opened his mouth like this, although Shu Nuan felt that he didn't drink again, and it was awkward to sit and eat with those people, he still carried a stool and walked over.

"Master......"

She shouted softly, and a piece of sauerkraut fish was stuffed into the bowl.

"Try it for yourself."

Wu Qirong looked at her kindly.

Shu Nuan looked at the steaming fish pieces in her bowl, and a sour smell lingered on the tip of her nose.

Stretching out her chopsticks and gently pinching the fish pieces, the skin of the fish peeling off and the snow-white flesh appeared in her sight.

Put a trace of fish meat in your mouth, and the slightly spicy taste suddenly spreads on the tip of your tongue.

She pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Everyone will have their own little habits when cooking, which will cause the same dish to make a hundred flavors.

The meat is soft and glutinous, just enough to be easily peeled off the bones without going too far and causing the meat to become unformed.

While Shu Nuan was tasting the taste, the other people at the table had already begun to move their chopsticks.

The patriarch sipped the liquor in the small porcelain cup slightly, and looked at the master and apprentice opposite with a smile.

"Old man Wu, your apprentice has become a teacher, and you can do it alone in the future......"

"She's not good yet, she still has to practice."

Wu Qirong shook his head, although he was very satisfied with Shu Nuan's performance today, but his face was a paternalistic style that young people still need to hone.

Shu Nuan didn't have to look up, he could guess what the master's expression was now.

As for the master's denial of her words, she only smiled faintly and didn't care much.

Her current age is here, even if she has practiced the art of cooking, as long as others see her young face, they will not believe that she will be a chef.
