"No, I just thought of this way of eating when I saw these sour bamboo shoots."

Su Liuye naturally wouldn't reveal her life experience, she casually made an excuse, and asked Old Man Lu again, "Grandpa Lu, where did you get these sour bamboo shoots from?" I remember that there didn't seem to be anything to buy in the city, and I hadn't seen it for so many days in town. ”

Old man Lu saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't continue to ask, but said proudly, "Of course it's winter now, I have these spring bamboo shoots, only spring!" After marinating for a whole year, I don't know how many cans were broken in the middle, and only this one can remained! ”

"Spring saved until now?"

Qin Lian was shocked, her eyes stared at the bamboo shoots in the bowl slightly, and she couldn't believe that the ingredients could be kept for so long.

"Of course! That's what makes sour bamboo shoots unique! Old man Lu was very proud, "These are the bamboo shoots I specially found, and it took many processes to keep them until now, and only I know how to make them." If it weren't for the fact that spring was coming soon, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you! ”

Su Liuye secretly thought in his heart, "Grandpa Lu, your sour bamboo shoots are so compatible with my hot pot, and you also know that I am going to open a restaurant, if there is this sour bamboo shoot hot pot in the restaurant, it will definitely attract more customers." ”

"I have a restaurant in Luoxi Town, and hot pot is our signature dish there—"

"No, no, no! I'm not going to work with you! ”

Before she finished speaking, Old Man Lu knew what she wanted to say, and said with a dark face, "I got these bamboo shoots back with great difficulty, and there is only one jar in total, how can I sell them to you?" Don't even think about it! ”

Having already guessed that he would refuse him, Su Liuye smiled calmly, "Grandpa Lu, if I say that I have a better way to help you make sour bamboo shoots, are you still willing to cooperate with me?" ”

"Do you have a better way?"

"That's right."

Su Liuye said calmly, "Presumably you must have found that some sour bamboo shoots can be kept for a year, while some can be spoiled in less than a month, and there are skills in this." Although I have never made sour bamboo shoots, I happen to know a secret recipe, and if you cooperate with me, I will tell you this trick. ”

"What trick?" Old man Lu immediately came and stared at her directly.

Su Liuye smiled calmly, "I can't tell you now, if you don't believe me, I can prepare another pickle for you, and the method is similar." ”

The old man immediately lost interest, waved at her, and said disdainfully, "No need, no need, you little girl just wants to deceive the old man, no!" If you really have this skill, you can do it yourself, and if you can really make it, I can help you get the bamboo shoots back! ”

Su Liuye immediately smiled and arched his hand, "Haha, it's still Grandpa Lu's discerning eyes and knows what I want." ”

Being so complimented by her, Old Man Lu scoffed, "Old man, I've seen so many people, what are you thinking in your heart, can't I still see it?" ”

There are no bamboo shoots to buy in the capital, and even if Su Liuye knows the pickling method of sour bamboo shoots, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only rely on the old man Lu to tell her where the bamboo shoots come from.

Now that there is Old Man Lu's words, Su Liuye is finally relieved.

"Come, let's have soup first, it's all hot."

She served soup to Old Man Lu and Qin Lian, chicken soup with sour bamboo shoots, and the unique fresh acid rippled in her mouth, which was very appetizing.

Qin Lian had already tasted several kinds of hot pot in Luoxi Town, but this was the first time she had tasted this fresh and sour taste.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately fell in love, and admired Old Man Lu even more, "Grandpa Lu, your craftsmanship is really good!" It's the best I've ever seen except for Ah Liu, and even Shi Feng can't compare to you! ”

"Of course!" Old man Lu was very proud, "These sour bamboo shoots are just ingredients, if you really want to talk about craftsmanship, I haven't made a move yet, old man!" ”

"Really? Then when will Grandpa Lu show me a hand? ”

"There's a chance!"

The hot pot was boiling on the table, and Old Man Lu's face didn't know if it was smoked, his cheeks were slightly red, and his mood was also very happy.

From time to time, he commented on the hot pot in front of him, and every sentence was bloody. Su Liuye's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly wrote down these words, knowing that Old Man Lu was helping her.

After eating this meal for about an hour, Old Man Lu drank some wine and was drunk and wanted to go back to his room to sleep.

Su Liuye still had something to ask him, so he hurriedly got up and helped him over.

Qin Lian helped clean up the scraps on the table, and when she looked up, the sky outside the window was already dark, and there was still white snow outside.

It's snowing again.

"Lianlian, I'll help you."

Su Liuye's voice came, Qin Lian turned her head and saw her coming back, and asked curiously, "Grandpa Lu is asleep?" ”

"No, he's just finished sitting in his room resting. I'll go get him some hot water and let him wipe it down before he goes to sleep. ”

Qin Lian heard her words and looked into the courtyard, and sure enough, she saw that the room was still shining with dusk candlelight, and the old man was sitting on a chair yawning.

Qin Lian couldn't help but smile, "I really didn't expect that after getting along for a while, Grandpa Lu's temperament didn't want to be so irritable when we first met." ”

Su Liuye said, "Grandpa Lu is estimated to have lived here alone for a long time, just to let someone accompany him, plus the pickles in his yard, he is reluctant to rent out the yard." When the winter passes, we will start to prepare the ingredients, and when the store is lively, Grandpa Lu's temperament will be much better. ”

Qin Lian thought that it seemed to be the same reason.

The windows of this shop were small and opaque, and it was gloomy all day long.

If there are more people in the store, the popularity will naturally increase, and Mr. Lu's personality will be much better at that time.

They cleaned up the table, prepared hot water for Old Man Lu, and saw that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.

In desperation, Su Liuye and Qin Lian could only stay in the wing room of the store for a while.

It was cold and dark outside at this time, and even if they rented a house nearby, it would be dangerous to go back at this time.

Because of the cold weather, Su Liuye slept until tomorrow. In a drowsy state, she heard a banging knock on the door downstairs, and Qin Lian, who was sleeping next to her, snorted and turned over.

Su Liuye was woken up, and when she opened her eyes, she heard clearly that the sound was coming from the door downstairs, as if someone was banging the door of the store.

"Open the door, open the door quickly! Master Lu, hurry up and open the door, our county lord has something to look for you! ”

Princess?

Hearing this, Su Liuye was completely awake, endured the biting chill and lifted the quilt, walked to the window and looked down, the person standing downstairs was Zhou Yun'er!
