Chapter 16 Going Out
Is this masked man saying what she thinks? Were the ancients so straightforward?
From now to ancient times, it was the first time for An Juan to receive such a hot confession, and she didn't know what to reply for a while, so she could only look at Luo Yelin on her side and Song Qin and Song Jian at the counter a little blankly.
Song Qin and Song Jian didn't know what to do, so they cast their equally blank gaze back.
However, Luo Yelin quickly answered: "Although you said this, the real choice is still on Miss An," he returned to him what the masked man had said just now: "Yes, Miss An?" ”
"Hmm......" An Juan came back to her senses, and coughed twice: "Thank you very much for your love......" She hesitated for a moment and continued to phrase in her heart: "It's just that I'm currently concentrating on my career and have no idea of getting married." ”
Luo Yelin was probably so angry, and after An Xuan's words were finished, he repeated her words in a louder voice: "Did this gentleman hear it?" Miss Ann has no idea of getting married now! ”
With that, he let out a long exhalation and reached out to pull his sleeve.
The masked man was not moved by Luo Yelin's provocation, he only sneered, and just wanted to say something, but his expression was suddenly stunned, and he paused for a long time before he regained his voice: "Forget it, let's go," he stood up, and did not forget to remind his subordinates behind him: "Remember to settle the bill." ”
Seeing the masked man leave with his group of subordinates, the whole restaurant boiled again, and some of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat in large gulps; Some hurriedly paid the money and planned to go home to slow down; There are also those who deliberately squeezed to An Juan and Luo Yelin's side to discuss related matters.
A group of gossipy masses soon came up with all sorts of bizarre conjectures, but none of them could be confirmed.
After a while, the desire for gossip dissipated, and they went home to share their adventures with their families.
After the guests in the hotel were almost gone, An Juan waited for a while and found that no one had come over, probably because he had heard about the masked man today, and planned to avoid the limelight.
Since there was no business, An Juan simply closed first, and then left Luo Yelin, thanked him with a smile, and then proposed: "I happen to be researching a new food today, if the prince has nothing to do, will accompany me to try it?" ”
It just so happened that Luo Yelin hadn't had anything to do in the past few days, and when he saw An Juan inviting him to study things together, he quickly nodded: "Very good." ”
So An Juan closed the door of the store first, went to the market with Luo Yelin to buy some raw materials, and then returned to the kitchen, carefully preparing the things he needed on the board.
Luo Yelin watched from the side, and saw that An Juan had been doing something, but he didn't do anything, so he was a little embarrassed, so he coughed a few times and asked, "Miss An, do you need this king's help to do something?" ”
An Juan's movements in his hands did not stop, and he cut the purchased bean skin and put it in the steamer, the action was very pleasant, and the answer on his lips was also very relaxed: "No, just look at it." ”
As she spoke, she took a few cloves of garlic, smashed them with a kitchen knife on the cutting board, then peeled and cut the head, chopped them finely, and put them in a bowl.
By the time she chopped the garlic almost, the bean skin in the pot was almost cooked.
She covered her hands with a towel, took out the basin containing the tofu skin, then drained the water from the tofu skin and put it aside.
After making the bean skin, she started a pot again, poured a little oil into it, and when the oil was hot, she poured the minced garlic into the oil pot one by one, and then quickly stir-fried until the minced garlic in it floated, and then put the pepper, chili powder, fennel, cumin, white sugar and salt into it.
After flipping twice, An Juan poured all the bean skin into it, and then kept stirring until the color was even, then turned off the heat and removed from the pot.
The spicy strips that had just come out of the pot had a refreshing spicy taste, and after Luo Yelin smelled it, he was choked and coughed for a while, and hurriedly went to drink a bowl of water.
But after he calmed down, he couldn't help but secretly taste the strange spicy taste just now, and his tongue suddenly became fond of it, wanting to taste how delicious this thing was.
At this time, the spicy strips that had just come out of the pot were hot and soft, and An Juan picked up a small piece with chopsticks, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, feeling that although there was a faint god of spicy strips, the appearance still looked different.
She tilted her head and thought about it, and instead of immediately sharing the results with Luo Yelin beside her, she put it in the window and blew the wind for a while.
After the small courtyard was filled with spicy smells, An Juan finally went to take the plate back, and shared this kind of food called "spicy strips" but looked more like "spicy chips" with Song Qin, Song Jian, Nie Ying, who smelled the fragrance, and Luo Yelin, who had been waiting beside him.
When I first put this thing in my mouth, everyone who was not very good at eating spicy food couldn't help coughing a few times, and was impressed by the spicy taste.
But after a while, they will remember the terrible spicy taste again, and then they will pick up a piece again with masochistic psychology, and they can't wait to put it in their mouths, and then sink in the fragrance and spiciness, willingly being its slaves.
Seeing that everyone's faces showed magical expressions of satisfaction, An Juan also took a piece of bean skin and put it in his mouth, and after chewing for a while, he nodded with satisfaction: "The taste is okay." ”
The others snatched the spicy strips from the plate like a whirlwind, leaving only an empty plate shiny with oil.
Luo Yelin put down the chopsticks, sighed with satisfaction, and turned his head to praise An Juan: "Miss An's dish is really very good." ”
Hearing Luo Yelin call this thing a "dish", An Juan was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Actually, this thing is not suitable as a dish to satisfy the stomach, it is more suitable as a snack, and I usually eat it when I have nothing to do." ”
"That's right," Luo Yelin replied: "This kind of thing, Miss An can be bagged and sold, and it is estimated that many parents will be willing to buy it for their children." ”
Luo Yelin's words opened up a new idea for her, An Juan thought about it again and again, and finally nodded: "Yes, it can be sold in bags like sugar gourds, and it saves space." ”
She thought of it, and quickly pulled Song Qin, who was wiping her mouth, to the counter, and discussed putting another cabinet here, specializing in selling small snacks such as spicy strips, which is estimated to be a lot of income.
An Juan said happily, and the others also felt reliable when they heard it, so An Juan immediately went to a carpenter who had worked with her restaurant many times, and ordered a small cabinet to display the goods, which could probably be made the day after tomorrow.
By the time she returned to the hotel, Luo Yelin had already left.
Song Qin and Song Jian helped Nie Ying clean up a room and let him live in it first, and then slowly move the furniture and add items later.
That night, she slept well, got up early the next day to put away the vegetables, and then went to buy a lot of raw materials needed to make spicy noodles, and when Nie Ying was cooking the dishes ordered by the diners, she was making spicy noodles on the side.
The flavor of the spicy strips is so intense and impactful that almost all diners can't help but ask a few questions.
Seeing that everyone was quite interested in this, An Juan simply gave each table a small plate of spicy strips, only saying that this was a small snack to eat in their spare time, and everyone could try it.
An Juan's strategy worked, and many diners bought some spicy noodles for their families and children to eat that day.
One more day, Anjuan's customized wooden shelf was sent over, she paid the rest, thanked the master, and then hurried to get a wet rag, wiped the wooden shelf twice, and then put a few bags of spicy strips prepared earlier.
Just put the spicy strips on it, looking a little empty, An Juan thought for a while, went over to find Nie Ying, and discussed with him for a while, planning to make a few more cold dishes or pickles, and also bagged them on them.
An Juan also proposed to make the fried chicken in advance, but was denied by Nie Ying.
He retorted that chicken thighs are only most fragrant when eaten hot, and if they are cool, they will not only become greasy, but also lose that crispy texture.
After listening to Nie Ying's words, An Juan thought about it and felt that the other party was reasonable, so she gave up this idea.
After getting along with Nie Ying for a few days, An Juan felt that this man had a good personality and a good character, so he found an opportunity to teach the other party the practices and precautions of dishes such as chicken thighs and steamed buns.
After making sure that Nie Ying had almost mastered it, An Juan packed the package, brought some money, prepared a week's worth of vegetables, and then said goodbye to Song Qin and Song Jian and said that he was going home.
The two of them were afraid that the road would not be safe, so they insisted that she be sent home.
Even if you settle for the next best thing, you should go with a companion.
But An Xuan's words are just an excuse, although she plans to go back to the village to have a look, she will definitely not let people join her.
So she found a lot of reasons, shirked it for a long time, and finally embarked on the journey alone.
An Juan did not take the black car again this time, but took a normal carriage with people, and paid for the most comfortable position.
She returned to the town in less than half a day, but the feeling of stepping on this land this time was completely different from the last time.
After taking a look at the distribution of inns in the town, Anwan stayed in a house with the best conditions.
Although this is just a small town, the types of snacks sold at the street stalls are still a lot more than those in Jincheng, An Juan walked and bought at the same time, and when he arrived at the inn, his arms were already full of things, and he couldn't even leave his hands, or the inn's junior two came over to help get things diligently, and An Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
After arriving at the room, An Juan closed the door, ate the snacks first, and then opened the door to take a shower.
After half an hour, the shopkeeper brought a bucket of steaming water, and An Juan roughly looked at the amount of water in the bucket, then nodded, and told them not to come again.
Seeing the door closed, An Juan exhaled, walked to the wooden barrel and tested the water temperature, then drew out a little water from the spiritual spring, placed it in the bucket, and then untied his clothes and soaked the whole person in it.
