Chapter 002 Girls Can Cook
"You don't have to ask for a high price. You can sell it if the price is right. If you can sell it for money, buy some meat, eggs and rice noodles. The meat should be fat and thin, with some oil and water."
Su Yujin's body is a little weak now. Even Mama Liu and Wormwood are looking shabby and need to be replenished.
"You should also see which flowers and plants around here can be sold for money, and sell them all together. When they are almost sold, you and Mother Liu will tidy up this land and plant some vegetables."
Selling flowers, growing vegetables...
Ai Cao raised his eyes and looked at Tian'er above his head.
The sun still rises from the east.
If I pinch myself again, it hurts, but I am not dreaming.
As the girl gave the order, Ai Cao quickly got to work.
He even called Mother Liu over to help.
In spring, everything comes back to life, and the flowers in the flowerbed grow quite luxuriantly. I don’t know which ones to sell.
Wormwood discussed with Mama Liu and only chose the two peonies and a few peonies first.
They are all flowers that will bloom as soon as the weather warms up. They are now luxuriant and growing very well. They look good and I think they can be sold at a good price.
"Hey, Mother Liu, why do you think this girl started selling flowers when she was in such good condition?" While Ai Cao was busy working, he pulled Mother Liu to express her doubts, "Don't you think the girl likes these flowers very much?"
"No matter how much you like it, you can't stop being hungry." Liu's mother answered, "The girl doesn't have much money left in her hand, and the second master doesn't show up. If we keep going like this, we will go hungry. The feeling of being hungry is so great
You don’t know how uncomfortable it is?”
"That's true..."
Wormwood knows how uncomfortable it is to be hungry.
I was scratching my heart and my liver, feeling weak all over, and wanting to hit the wall to die.
"I see that the girl doesn't wear a lot of jewelry anymore. I guess she secretly exchanged them for money."
Mother Liu warned. "Now the girl probably has no other choice. Let's not talk too much. Just do what the girl says."
"Yeah." Ai Cao nodded.
But he still sighed.
The girl is so pitiful.
This second master is the same, why don’t you come to see the girl...
After working hard for a while, Mugwort and Mother Liu successfully moved the flowers and went to the street to sell them with the flowerpots in hand.
The flowers and pots were good, and the selling price was not high. However, within an hour or so, several pots of flowers were sold for one, two or five cents.
"It's almost enough for this month's expenses."
If you can save some money.
Looking at the silver, the stone in Liu's mother's heart dropped slightly.
But Ai Cao stomped her feet, "Those people really know how to bargain!"
"Come on, if you don't agree, you won't be able to buy it no matter how low others offer it, right?" Mother Liu pulled Mugwort, whose face was red with anger, "It's almost noon, let's go buy things as the girl tells us.
.”
Even though I said that, I still felt a little aggrieved.
After all, it was because the second master didn't come.
Her girl is so pitiful...
Mother Liu and Ai Cao followed Su Yujin's instructions and bought some meat, eggs and rice noodles. For meat, they followed their girl's instructions and bought fat and thin pork belly.
At noon, Su Yujin's lunch consisted of stir-fried bean sprouts, pan-fried tofu, stir-fried pork, white rice, and a bowl of green onion and egg soup.
It’s not a huge amount, but it’s still much better than the previous days.
Su Yujin happily picked up the chopsticks.
But soon, she put down her chopsticks again.
His brows were furrowed, and he chewed the stir-fried meat in his mouth for a long time, unable to swallow it.
I have to say, Mama Liu’s cooking skills...
That’s not to say that it is useless and cannot be eaten at all, but in the eyes of Su Yujin, a food lover, there are too many shortcomings.
The oil for the stir-fried mung bean sprouts was not hot enough when the bean sprouts were put into the pan. Before making the pan-fried tofu, the tofu was not soaked in water and the beany smell was too strong. The stir-fried pork was overheated and stir-fried for too long. It tasted too hard and the eggs were broken.
There was too much salt in the soup and the egg drop was not beaten enough.
But I am really hungry, and I need to nourish my body quickly, so I need to eat more food.
Su Yujin ate in small bites, but she didn't look very pretty while eating.
Mother Liu and Ai Cao saw that Su Yujin was not in a high mood even while eating, as if he was full of worries. After looking at each other, they each sighed.
The girl probably misses the second master a lot.
When will this second master come...
In the afternoon, Mugwort and Mama Liu sold a few more pots of flowers, two pots of peonies, and two pots of roses. These flowers were not as valuable as peonies, so they only got 350 yuan.
After getting the money, Liu's mother went to buy a chicken, chopped it into half, and planned to stew it for Su Yujin in the evening.
Seeing Mrs. Liu going into the kitchen to do some busy work after she came back, Su Yujin remembered how bad she felt at noon, so she followed her to the kitchen.
While watching Liu's mother preparing peppercorns, star anise and other seasonings, Su Yujin stopped and said, "I'll do it."
Sichuan peppercorns and star anise tend to give off flavor when stir-frying meat, but if they are stewed with chicken, it will only make the meat more textured and the tenderness of the chicken will not be appreciated.
Just by looking at this, you can tell the level of Mrs. Liu’s cooking skills.
"Girl, can you cook?" Mother Liu was surprised at first, then she went to get the spatula that was already in Su Yujin's hand, "There is a lot of fumes in the kitchen, so I'd better do it as an old slave."
"When I wasn't with the Second Master, I used to cook a lot, and my cooking skills were quite good. Today, I suddenly feel itchy and want to practice. You guys can also try my cooking skills."
Su Yujin couldn't help but add water to the pot.
Seeing Su Yujin's insistence, Mother Liu didn't say anything more. She just found an apron to tie on Su Yujin and helped light the fire.
Pour water to remove the foam, mince garlic until fragrant, stir-fry the chicken pieces, add soy sauce, cinnamon, and bay leaves to add flavor. After pouring water to submerge the chicken pieces, Su Yujin added half a ladle more and covered the lid. "After the water boils, lower the heat.
Let it stew for half an hour and then make some hand-made noodles to eat."
"When making hand-made noodles, remember to crack an egg into it and add a little salt water."
The noodles made in this way have smooth texture and excellent taste.
Seeing that Su Yujin was skillful in cooking, Liu's mother knew that she was really a good cook, so she nodded quickly and just did as she said.
Stew slowly over low heat, the pot bubbles gurglingly, and the aroma mixed in the steam floats out faintly, reaching only people's nostrils.
"What kind of food did Mama Liu cook? It's so delicious?"
After Ai Cao carried the soybeans he just bought into the yard, he was attracted to the kitchen by the aroma.
"Stew chicken nuggets and eat chicken noodles at night." Mother Liu added enough firewood to the stove, scooped out the noodles, and followed Su Yujin's instructions, pounding the eggs and adding salt water.
After thinking about it, I added a little more noodles than usual.
Just smelling it smells so good, it must taste good, and you will definitely eat more than usual.
Hearing this, Ai Cao couldn't help but licked her lips, sniffed her nose again and again, and grinned, "Mama Liu's cooking skills are much better than before."
"It's not me who is great, it's the girl who is," Liu's mother said, "It's the girl who holds the spoon tonight."
"Can girls also cook?"
