Chapter 137,

However, only Changqi noticed it, and it was no wonder that others failed to notice it. After all... an ordinary constable could not be compared with a specially trained spy like him.

The corners of Changqi's mouth drooped instantly.

Sure enough, his intuition was right. This man was definitely here to cause trouble. However, whether he did or not was none of his business. His job was to stay in this small shop properly. So he hid his edge, stood by the pillar, and acted like an ordinary little boy.

At first glance, he is indeed an ordinary boy.

But how could the boy say such a thing? The young man did notice him. But he had to deal with the two people in front of him first.

"This is the deer antler I picked myself, you can take a look." Then he raised his hand and opened the corner of the cloth bag, revealing the brown deer antler inside.

Fluffy, brown dried antlers.

That would make the package look more spacious, right? It's perfectly fine to say that the contents of this large package are deer antlers. After all, deer antlers are large and oddly shaped, making the package look larger.

The two patrolmen took a look at the corner of the cloth bag, and after confirming that it was a deer antler, they turned around and walked out of the restaurant without any doubt.

Suspicion had been ruled out, and the man was obviously much more relaxed, but he looked up at Changqi, then lowered his head and continued fiddling with his fingers.

Soon the dishes were ready. Changqi took the tray from Su Guoer and walked towards the young man.

When he arrived, he put on a flattering smile and said, "I'm so sorry I asked that question just now. I'm sorry I troubled you. How about this, I'll treat you to an extra bowl of soju and put it on my bill?"

Chang Qi spoke sincerely, but the young man was obviously not someone to be trifled with, so he asked, "Did you really just say something too much?"

After hearing this, Chang Qi immediately apologized repeatedly: "Oh, oh, look, you misunderstood me, didn't you? I... I was just curious, so I said that. I really didn't doubt your intentions. Besides, no one dares to cause trouble in the city of Bianjing. We poor people know it all, so what can I ask? I really don't mean any other meaning."

"Please be magnanimous! If one bowl of soju isn't enough, then bring three! I'll drink a glass with you as an apology, okay?"

So he immediately turned around and ordered, "Xiao Liuzi, go get a jar of good liquor!"

"Okay!" Xiao Liuzi immediately went down to the wine cellar.

The young man raised his hand and said, "Forget it. Since you don't mean it, I won't pursue it any further. Forget the liquor."

Chang Qi: "Oh, thank you, sir, thank you for your magnanimity!" He bowed repeatedly, then placed the braised pork, soju, and Yangchun noodles he had ordered on the table: "This is the dish you ordered, please enjoy!"

At this time, Su Guoer came over with a plate of peanuts cooked in vinegar and said to the young man, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

This time the young man didn't refuse, simply because the peanuts went perfectly with the wine.

This matter has come to an end.

After finishing his meal, the young man turned around and left with his things without saying anything about staying in a hotel. Su Guoer originally thought that he was carrying a large package and came from outside, so he would stop here to rest.

In the end, they left?

Su Guoer felt a little regretful that she had made the customer angry after all.

She didn't think too much about it and focused on preparing the ingredients for the second game tomorrow.

This second competition is different from the first one, and the judges are also different. Even the previous chef god was invited to be a judge, so you can see how strict the conditions are.

However, the competition venue is still in the theater, so there is no need to run to other places.

They were given half a day to prepare some rare ingredients themselves, and the remaining basic ingredients, such as fish, meat, poultry, etc. were provided by the competition organizers. Of course, they could also bring their own, there were no restrictions.

Su Guoer had to prepare a lot of things this time, and some of them needed to be prepared in advance to avoid revealing her family's secret cooking skills. This secret cooking skill was the key to her victory in this round of competition.

This is a food that Su Guoer thought of after thinking for a long time. Of course, it was not created by her. To be specific, it is a dish made by her and her father together, called Soup Dumplings.

Making soup dumplings is quite difficult. Not only does the skin need to be able to hold the filling inside, but it also needs to be able to retain the rich juices in the filling. This way, when the dumplings cool down and you take a bite, the inside is still warm, and the rich juices flow between your lips and teeth.

This taste...

It smells so good!

But it’s not that easy to do.

To ensure this dish could pass the second stage, Su Guoer even went to every dumpling restaurant in the city to ask if they sold soup dumplings. But all she got was: "Dumplings? Filled with soup? Isn't that superfluous?"

"Besides, the dumpling wrapper is so thin, and it's not a steamed bun that can trap the juice. You can't make these dumplings. Even if you are lucky enough to make them, the dumpling wrapper will fall apart after being put in the pot for a while. It's impossible to make them."

They thought Su Guoer was joking.

But Su Guoer still has this dish in her memory.

So, let's see her make these dumplings that are rumored to be impossible to make?

Things that needed to be prepared in advance needed to be simmered slowly in a large pot. Su Guoer went to compete in the afternoon, and she took out a pot from the kitchen to cook at daybreak.

What she wants to do is also simple.

Pig skin jelly.

This is the dish that every household makes during festivals. It can be eaten directly or cut into slices and eaten cold.

In the old days, when poor families could not afford to eat, they would buy the cheapest pig skin and boil it in a big pot. The boiled soup would have the taste of pork after cooling down, and the pig skin would taste sticky.

This is the key to these soup dumplings.

Su Guoer first found two pounds of pig skin, burned all the pig hair on it with fire, and then put the pig skin into the pot to stew.

This will simmer for a long time.

Of course, in order to remove the smell of the pig skin, Su Guoer also added half a jar of liquor when boiling it for the first time, which can effectively remove the fishy smell of the pig skin.

As for whether the pig skin will be stained with the smell of soju?

It doesn’t matter. Stewing pig skin is a time-consuming and laborious task. Besides, the first pot of soup is not needed, so the taste of the soju will dissipate during the cooking process of the second pot of soup.

Su Guoer tried it in advance. The pig skin cooked in this way not only has no fishy smell, but is also soft and sticky, crystal clear, and after being dissolved in hot water, it becomes a thick juice!
