Faced with many questions from colleagues, Shui Yu's face froze.
How to answer this?
If Madam and Young Madam knew that this was pig offal, would they still eat it? In any case, unless something unexpected happens, Young Master Ping Yu would not eat it.
She sighed, and after much hesitation, she felt that the girl would not lie, so she told him sincerely: "This is a braised dish made by my girl using pig offal. It has pig intestines and pig stomach..."
As soon as she finished speaking truthfully, everyone who had been showing obvious greed immediately restrained their expressions and said, "So that's how it is. Miss Yan is really talented. She can even make pig offal so delicious!"
"Yes, that's amazing. Oh, by the way, I still have work to do, so I'll go back first."
"Madam is still waiting for me, I'll leave first..."
Soon, they left one by one.
When Yan Qiushu opened her eyes amidst the rich aroma of stew, she was greeted by the sighing Shui Yu and Aunt Xu.
She looked confused: "What happened?"
Shui Yu complained: "The braised food the girl made was so delicious that it attracted a lot of people. But when they heard it was made from pig offal, they all left!"
If it were any other situation, it would be fine.
But recently she had seen with her own eyes how popular Yan Qiushu's food was, and now when she heard about pig offal, she didn't even want to take it back.
I feel very disappointed.
Seeing her angry, Yan Qiushu couldn't help laughing: "It doesn't matter. Not everyone can accept pig offal."
Even in modern times, many people don’t like to eat it, not because of the taste, but because they can’t get over it in their hearts.
But people who love to eat will also like it.
Because she is a girl, the servants who come here are all maids. These maids are generally family-born children, so it is normal that they have no interest in this. Being a maid in the Xiao Mansion is better than living in an ordinary family outside, and they don’t lack meat to eat.
Shui Yu pursed her lips and asked, "What about these?"
The pig offal they made mainly consisted of pig intestines, pig hearts and pig stomachs. The pig intestines were the most abundant and the portion was quite large, so it was not something that could be eaten casually.
At this time, various seasonings were added to the pot. The originally pink and white pig intestines turned brown and rolled in the sauce-colored soup. It looked completely different from the previous greasy and soft pig intestines. It didn’t look as disgusting as imagined?
Yan Qiushu smiled and said, "It's almost time to fish it out. Put it in the food box and let's go to the young lady."
"Will the young lady like this?" Shui Yu was very skeptical, but didn't dare to say more, for fear of undermining Yan Qiushu's confidence.
Yan Qiushu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether she likes it or not, but as long as there are people who like it, there will be a market for this thing."
Shui Yu had no choice but to clean up the food boxes. Aunt Xu and Yan Qiushu together picked up the large intestine and cut it into sections, sliced the pig heart, and cut the pig stomach into strips, and put them in different plates.
Because it was a tasting, Yan Qiushu didn't pack too much. After packing it, she left some aside: "Madam Xu, see who likes it and share it with everyone. This tastes pretty good."
Aunt Xu took it and said with a smile, "How could I not like it?"
Yan Qiushu also laughed: "There will always be people who don't like it. It's a matter of taste."
Before she first came into contact with pig offal, she actually never touched any internal organs. Until one day a colleague enthusiastically recommended it to her, and she couldn't resist and tried two bites. After that taste, she discovered a new world.
However, of all the pig offal, her favorite is actually the pig stomach, but the most abundant part of a pig is the large intestine, so her focus is also on the large intestine.
Before leaving, Yan Qiushu looked at the time for a while.
It was still early, the afternoon had just arrived, and there was still some time before they had dinner. If it affected the appetite of the eldest young master and his wife of the Xiao family, they would have some time to eat dinner slowly and peacefully.
Yan Qiushu felt that she had considered it very carefully!
Xiao Family's eldest wife
Xie Qingyun took a deep breath. The aroma of the stew in the air became much lighter. Should it be done?
She glanced at the next yard.
The two courtyards were not far apart, and they were the first to smell the fragrance. However, after knowing what the fragrance was made of, Xie Qingyun's maid came back to report, and she backed off a little.
Although Ah Shu swore that the pig offal would be delicious if she cooked it, she had never touched these things since she was a child, so she still had some psychological barriers.
Therefore, he did not let the maid go on, but he felt guilty and a little conflicted.
Ah Shu's only intention was to help the Xiao family, so she was being ungrateful. Her husband, who was quietly reading, was distracted by this dilemma and said, "Don't worry, Ah Shu isn't that stingy."
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "I'm not saying she's stingy, I'm just worried that she'll be unhappy."
That girl stayed in the mansion alone for the sake of her sixth brother. If they made her unhappy, would she cry secretly?
Xie Qingyun is actually not young anymore, in her thirties. Many women of this age are preparing to become grandmothers. She doesn't have her own children, but she also likes children very much.
Dongdong and Wan'er were the children she spent the most time with. Although Ah Shu was older than them, she was innocent and simple, especially her eyes that looked like Wan'er's. She subconsciously treated her as a child.
Naturally, I don't want her to be unhappy, but asking her to eat pig offal is still a bit of a psychological barrier.
Xiao Huaiqi smiled and said, "She wouldn't be unhappy. Haven't you noticed that she always makes two servings of most flavors when cooking? Third sister doesn't like spicy food, so she sends her something light. Mother likes spicy food, so she sends something a little stronger. Here, she always has both. She takes care of you and me, and Dongdong and Wan'er are even more careful. How could she be upset just because someone's taste is different?"
Xie Qingyun listened to him and thought about it, and found that it was true. She had always done so since the beginning when she had two flavors of chicken wings to cater to the different tastes of children and adults.
She smiled suddenly and said, "We've been together for so long, but I didn't notice this. In that case, I'll just go over there."
"I'll accompany you." Xiao Huaiqi said.
This time, he happened to run into Yan Qiushu who was about to go out.
"Young Master, Young Madam? Why are you here?" Yan Qiushu was very surprised.
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "Didn't they say that pig offal could be traded? I just smelled that fragrance and came over to take a look. This is the first time I've smelled such delicious food."
"That's perfect. I was just about to go over to your place and have someone try this to confirm how it tastes." Yan Qiushu invited them in. "I thought the eldest young master and the young mistress might not be used to it, so I'll ask the maids and servants in the outer courtyard to see what they think of the taste. This thing is cheap and the production cost is not high. If it tastes good, even families with ordinary financial conditions will be willing to buy some."
The servants in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family are naturally the core, and the outer courtyard also needs a lot of people to do the rough work. She asked Shui Yu, and many of them were bought from outside. Those who were sold as slaves naturally had poor family conditions and would not reject pig offal. They were the most suitable group of people to taste the food.
Xie Qingyun was amused. Sure enough, this child took into consideration that they might not be used to the food. She nodded immediately and said, "Okay, Madam Tian, go to the front yard and call ten servants and ten maids over. Tell them that we are here to help taste the pig offal made by Miss Yan. It's the same fragrance we smelled this afternoon. Anyone who voluntarily comes is welcome."
"Yes, I'll go right away. Master, Madam, and Miss Yan, please wait a moment." Nanny Tian bowed and left quickly.
The master asked someone to help taste the pig's offal, and most of the servants in the Xiao family were actually willing to do so.
And they came very actively.
After a while, everyone arrived.
There were twenty men and women in total, divided into two lines, but standing in staggered positions. This way, they took up less space and could clearly see everyone's expression when they ate the food.
Yan Qiushu also took advantage of the time before they came over to bring out the dishes. Aunt Xu gave them chopsticks, one pair for each person, and Shui Yu brought a full plate of chopped pig intestines to them.
Yan Qiushu looked at them and raised her voice, "Please try it. After you're done, tell me. If it were you, would you be willing to spend ten cents to buy a pound?"
The price of pig offal is seven or eight cents. If you buy it in bulk, it will be cheaper. Ten cents after cooking, it is still less than the cheapest pork. If it tastes good, everyone will be willing to buy it.
"no problem!"
"Don't worry, Miss Yan, we will enjoy it!"
The two people in the lead were very excited. When they saw the pig intestines coming, they couldn't wait to reach for their chopsticks. The smell of this thing had tempted them for a long time, and now they could finally eat it, so shouldn't they hurry?
As for pig intestines, they might be unpalatable?
Although they, the servants, didn't have to worry about not having good food in the Xiao family, in fact, most of them had suffered hardships. Otherwise, why would they sell themselves into slavery? Naturally, they would not dislike pig intestines.
Experiencing it up close, the brown pig intestines still exuded that familiar and enticing aroma. The servants had thought that they would smell good but taste bad, but when they ate them, they found that there was no strange smell at all.
When you bite into it, you can feel the meat, which is a bit tough and crispy. After being cooked for a long time, the large intestine has already been extremely flavorful. It is soft but not rotten, fatty but not greasy. The aroma of the braised meat emerges between the lips and teeth with each chew. It is hard to imagine that they are actually eating pig offal?
"Delicious!" The first person to taste it was pleasantly surprised and was the first to say, "This tastes much better than I expected!"
Then the second one, the third one... all of them were praises.
"Master and Madam, Miss Yan, this pig intestine is really delicious, much better than the meat I eat!"
"It's even better than fatty meat. Fatty meat can be greasy if not cooked properly. This intestine is quite chewy, yet easy to bite into, and full of flavor! It's fragrant and salty, and it would definitely be a great side dish for rice!"
A servant who was ranked seventh looked at the people in front of him, all of whom were praising him. He was very suspicious and thought, is this flattery?
How could I like it so much?
The servant actually didn't like eating pig offal. In the early years before he was sold into the mansion, this was the only meat dish he could eat.
At that time, there was no flood in his hometown, and the family could buy some offal from time to time to try some meat, but because of this, he hated this thing.
It’s really too disgusting!
It smells smelly and fishy.
But his parents were willing to buy these things, and they would save the rest to build a leak-proof house for their family.
Only during the Chinese New Year would we spend a few more cents and buy some fatty meat to cook.
Unexpectedly, a flood occurred, leaving countless people homeless, his parents starved to death, and he became a slave. Fortunately, he was sold to the Xiao family.
Since then, he has never suffered again, and he never treats himself badly in terms of food. When he gets his monthly salary, he buys meat, as if he wants to make up for the meat he didn't eat in the past few years. As a result, he has become a little fat man after ten years in the Xiao Mansion.
This time he agreed to let Nanny Tian come, mainly because he saw that some people were disgusted with her, and he was afraid that the head of the family would be unhappy because they did not have enough manpower, so he came here specially.
The Xiao family saved him, so he has to repay them.
Anyway, no matter how bad the pig offal tastes, he has eaten it!
Who doesn’t know how to give compliments?
It would be best if I could gain the appreciation of the master because of this.
So before it was his turn, he had already thought of some exaggerated words in his mind, and he had to praise more enthusiastically than the person in front of him!
Soon, the plate was in front of him.
The boy quickly picked up a piece of pig intestine with his chopsticks, ate it, and was about to express his praise, but he was stunned by the aroma of the braised food that filled his lips and teeth.
He couldn't even say the words he had prepared smoothly. He chewed it twice, and the tip of his tongue could clearly taste the crispy, salty and fragrant texture of the pig intestines. There was no strange smell, it was not unpalatable, it was even very delicious!
As the servant was eating, his eyes turned red.
If only his parents could eat such delicious pig offal when they were alive.
Yan Qiushu was originally listening carefully to these people's comments.
Suddenly she noticed that there was a young boy in the second row with red eyes, sobbing while eating. Looking at the others, most of them were normal. A few hesitated for a moment when putting the food in their mouths, but when they ate, their eyes were shining and they couldn't wait to express their thoughts, which were mostly praises.
He was the only one with a relatively fair complexion in the crowd. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and was slightly overweight. Therefore, his red eyes made him particularly conspicuous.
Yan Qiushu asked curiously, "The one in the second row, why are you crying? You don't want to eat?"
Xie Qingyun and Xiao Huaiqi also immediately looked over.
The servant wiped his tears sheepishly and said with a smile, "This servant is thinking of my parents. When I was a child, I ate pig's offal. It was disgusting back then. I kept asking for meat, but my parents were reluctant to buy me meat, and only bought a little during the Chinese New Year. Now that this servant has tasted such delicious pig's offal, I wish my parents could have it, too."
Yan Qiushu felt a lump in her throat and a bit bitter. There were many more poor people in ancient times than in modern times. The country had to pay so much in the previous life to achieve poverty alleviation and prosperity little by little, not to mention this monarchy.
She was speechless for a moment.
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "If your parents saw you eating such delicious food, they would be happy too."
The dead are gone, and we can only look back.
The servant smiled with satisfaction and nodded vigorously: "Yes, the young lady is right!"
And because of this delay, everyone finished eating.
They were also talking about their love for pig offal.
You know, this thing is half the price of meat. If it can be cooked this delicious, why would you still eat meat?!
"Master, Madam, Miss Yan, I'm willing to spend ten coins to buy a pound of this. Ten coins is too cheap!"
"Yeah, ten cents can't even buy a pound of meat, but this tastes much better than meat!"
"My mother spent twenty cents on a pound of lean meat, but it didn't taste very good. The fat was greasy. This pig's offal is made into this, it's simply a delicacy!"
“…”
Twenty people, all twenty gave the same answer.
Then we asked them to eat pig stomach and pig heart. After eating them, they received more praise than pig intestines!
The pork belly is chewy, neither dry like lean meat nor greasy like fat, but in the middle. Compared with ordinary meat, its taste is very unique, and it is even better when paired with the salty and fragrant braised flavor.
Pig heart has a different taste. It is not as elastic as pig stomach, but it is more crispy and refreshing.
If we really have to compare them, the most popular one is pig's stomach, and people are more willing to spend money on it. After pig's stomach, it is pig's large intestine, and then pig's heart.
It's a bit strange, because in the previous life, pig intestines should have been more popular.
There are many ways to cook pig intestines, and grilled pig intestines are a popular option, but surprisingly, they were not available this time.
But on second thought, it is understandable. In most people's cognition, pig intestines are the inferior choice. If there is something better, people will naturally choose the better one. The taste of pig tripe is not bad in all aspects. As for the pig heart, maybe because the amount of pig heart is too small, each person gets one piece, which is thin and somewhat transparent.
Everything was over, Yan Qiushu nodded and looked at Xie Qingyun.
Xie Qingyun stood up and thanked them, then asked them to leave. After they left, she said, "It looks really delicious. Ah Shu, are you really planning to charge ten cents?"
Yan Qiushu smiled and said, "Ten cents is enough. Ordinary farmers are only willing to spend seven or eight cents to buy pig offal to try. If it's too expensive, the price of the whole pig offal will go up, and then they won't be able to afford it at all. Besides, this marinade can be reused, which means that one pot of marinade can be used to marinate many pig offal. The only expense is cleaning it."
Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "You are really thoughtful."
Xiao Huaiqi also said, "Ashu, this is a very good consideration. In this case, I will ask Manager Yao to raise some more piglets at the beginning of the new year. If we want to open a store now, we can buy them from outside first."
"Well, you guys decide on this." Yan Qiushu said quickly, "I'm not good at business. I'll send you the method for making the brine when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Xie Qingyun was speechless. She had seen people who were eager to seize power and profit, and she had seen people who were indifferent to money, but she had rarely seen people who pushed away such great benefits!
Her voice became softer: "Since you don't want to, then we will take care of it, but what belongs to you is still yours."
"It's a 20/80 split!" Yan Qiushu said with a smile, "I won't ask for less."
Xie Qingyun's smile suddenly became even happier. She said, "It's almost time for dinner. I'm so shameless that I can stay and have a free meal."
"Okay." Yan Qiushu accepted with a smile: "But I want to make these dishes, okay?"
"Of course." Xie Qingyun agreed happily.
At the same time, she also felt comfortable that the child was so considerate. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and saw her husband's narrow eyes. Her cheeks heated up. She glared at him angrily and followed Yan Qiushu: "It's a good opportunity for me to see how Ah Shu cooks on a daily basis."
Yan Qiushu’s cooking is actually simple.
Aunt Xu, Shui Yu and others have all been trained by her. No matter what they want to do, they just need to give an order and the ingredients will be prepared. She only needs to be the one to cook at the end.
Today's main dishes are stir-fried pork intestines with vinegar, stir-fried pork tripe, and stir-fried pork heart with celery.
But considering that Yan Qiushu was the only one eating, she cooked normally. When serving the food, she only used three small plates, and let Shui Yu and Aunt Xu eat the rest to avoid waste.
In addition to her main dish, there were guests, so she also cooked other dishes, including pan-fried tofu, stir-fried bok choy, and spicy diced chicken.
The main dishes of these three dishes are all braised dishes and do not require additional processing, which greatly improves the speed. The remaining three dishes are also extremely convenient. The only one that is a little complicated is the spicy diced chicken, which only has an extra step of frying.
But because of the previous delay, we were busy now and it was time for dinner.
It was cold before, and the aroma of the braised dishes disappeared as the heat of the dishes died down. Now, when they are stir-fried again, the aroma reappears. In addition to the simple braised aroma, there is also the spicy taste after stir-frying and the sour taste after vinegar, which mixed together and smells even better.
Because Yan Qiushu's yard was close to the main yard, many people smelled the fragrance as soon as it was released.
It's really too fragrant!
Chen Pingyu stared at the word "Xiang" that he had written unconsciously and fell into silence.
He was obviously practicing his writing, but as he was writing, he tossed and turned in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he had to ask the maid to ask what such a fragrant smell was that once again filled his nose.
Because it was separated from the study, the smell was not as strong as at noon, and it was almost imperceptible, which made Shen Pingyu unable to ignore it.
Because his mind was constantly being drawn in, what he wrote was a mess and had no purpose.
Finally, the young boy sighed, put down his pen, and went out.
"Young master, where are you going?" The nanny who served him put down the needlework in her hands and asked.
Shen Pingyu pursed his lips and said, "Just walk around, no need to follow."
Seeing this, the nanny sat back down.
Chen Pingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving the yard, he didn't even need to identify the direction. He just followed the fragrance and came to a yard that he had avoided in the morning.
Obviously, this scent was most likely the kind he didn't like in the morning.
This is unbelievable!
So he's still going in?
Shen Pingyu was a little conflicted, but...it smelled so good!
If it weren't for the food he had yesterday and this morning, he wouldn't have been so unable to bear it. After tasting Yan Qiushu's cooking, he always felt itchy in his heart when he smelled the fragrance.
But what's the difference between him and five-year-old Pingzhou?!
If my grandfather knew this, he would definitely be angry.
The desire cooled down temporarily, and Shen Pingyu wanted to turn around.
Suddenly, his shoulders slumped, and the man, who was much taller than him, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Excuse me for coming in?"
Shen Pingyu coughed lightly: "No."
"I still don't understand you? The Shen family is really hypocritical in this regard!" He chuckled and led people directly to the yard: "Come on, let's go and have some free food. It smells so good. I wonder what they are doing?"
Shen Pingyu: “…”
He didn't even have time to stop himself before he was led inside, just in time to see the girl coming out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.
After the meal was cooked, Yan Qiushu brought out one portion, Xie Qingyun also brought out one portion, and the rest were brought out by the others.
As she walked out of the kitchen, she saw a dark figure appear at the entrance of the yard. The young man, one hand behind his back, slowly approached with a younger boy in his other hand. His clear voice was tinged with a smile: "Miss Shu, I heard they need someone to taste the food here? I wonder if we can come and try it?"
Yan Qiushu turned around and was stunned for a few seconds by the handsome young man.
She hadn't seen Xiao Huaiting since the last birthday party, but he was still the same. When he was not wearing armor, he was an outstanding young man with high spirits. Without the murderous aura and coldness around him, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were clearly visible, and the slightly raised arc at the corners of his lips made people's hearts tremble.
Soon the young man realized that there was more than one person in the yard. He calmed down a little and called out, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are here too."
The young boy behind him also politely called out, "Uncle, Aunt, Aunt Yan."
Yan Qiushu also smiled: "General Xiao, it's fair to meet you."
She looked back again and was a little surprised to find that there was no one else there.
The person who followed Xiao Huaiting was not Dongdong, but Shen Pingyu?
Xiao Huaiting walked over and said casually: "Dongdong sent a servant back to say that he will return to Jiang Mansion today."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Pingyu's expression tightened a little, and he seemed a little unhappy.
Yan Qiushu was speechless. Was she trying to avoid Chen Pingyu?
Xie Qingyun and Xiao Huaiqi obviously knew this better. They both laughed and greeted the two: "You don't need to taste the dishes, but Ah Shu has cooked a lot of dishes. You can just take advantage of them."
"Come and sit down." Xiao Huaiqi called out.
The two of them came over.
After sitting down, the five of them filled their plates and started eating.
The first dish Xie Qingyun ate was spicy diced chicken. She wanted to eat it as soon as she saw Yan Qiushu working.
Spicy diced chicken is made with chicken thighs without peeling the skin. The skin is fried and stir-fried, leaving only a thin layer. It has a crispy texture, and the chicken inside is tender and has a strong spicy flavor.
As she took a bite, a little bit of oil, along with the spicy taste and chicken, exploded between her lips and teeth, and she immediately took a small breath because of the spiciness.
Xiao Huaiqi beside him handed over a cup of warm sour plum soup: "Drink some."
"No, this is delicious!" Xie Qingyun refused directly. Although it was spicy, it was not uncomfortable. Instead, the more she ate, the more she wanted to eat.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaiqi also picked up a few chopsticks and ate with great satisfaction.
Xiao Huaiting was the first to look at the table. There were six dishes in total, two vegetarian and four meat dishes. However, three of the fragrant dishes were on Yan Qiushu's side, while the others were on Xiao Huaiqi and Xie Qingyun's side. He smiled and said, "Is this pig offal? I've never seen it before."
As he spoke, he was the first to reach out with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig's stomach and put it in his mouth.
The pork belly is stir-fried, and the spicy flavor is already there, but when you put it in your mouth, the first thing you can taste is the tenderness and elasticity of the pork belly. As you chew it, you can hear the crisp sound of the pork belly being bitten, and then there is the aroma of the braised pork belly on the inner layer and the spicy outer layer...
The taste was so delicious that Xiao Huaiting took a mouthful of rice. The sweetness of the rice overwhelmed the slightly heavy taste, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
"This is delicious, um, not bad!" He exclaimed, looking at Xiao Huaiqi and Xie Qingyun puzzledly: "Brother and sister-in-law, you guys eat it, this is really delicious."
The two of them looked at it silently. To be honest, there was nothing dislikeable about the appearance, and the smell was also mouth-watering, but when it came to eating it, they still had some psychological barriers. They ate other dishes and listened to Xiao Huaiting's invitation, saying vaguely: "Well, I will eat it, I will eat it."
Seeing that he failed to persuade the nephew, the young man looked at his nephew who was chewing slowly and with ill intentions, and said with a smile: "Pingyu, try it."
Shen Pingyu glanced at him, then looked at the three dishes again, seeming to be tempted, but in the end he didn't do anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaiting directly used the serving chopsticks to pick up a portion for him: "Eat quickly, and when you're done, I'll go and catch Dongdong for you!"
Shen Pingyu paused and looked at the food in the bowl without touching it.
Yan Qiushu looked at Xiao Huaiting, then at Shen Pingyu, and was very suspicious that the child was angry at his uncle's unreliability. Unexpectedly, he actually picked up a piece of pig's stomach.
Her eyes widened slightly, and she swallowed the words she wanted to persuade.
The young boy put it into his mouth seriously. He hesitated for a moment before eating it, but he really ate it. However, his brows were furrowed, as if he had eaten some poison.
But as he ate, his brows relaxed, his calm eyes blinked twice, and he put on a faint smile. He looked at Yan Qiushu and said in a childish voice, "Aunt Yan, this is really delicious."
Yan Qiushu was relieved: "If you like it, eat more. If you don't like it, don't force it."
"No one can force him to do it!" Xiao Huaiting said anxiously. As he continued to pick up the three dishes, he asked with great interest, "Is this really made from pig offal? Is it complicated to make?"
"It's very simple." Yan Qiushu said casually: "If you need it, I can give you a copy of the recipe."
Such a good recipe, would you give it away so casually?
Even Xiao Huaiting, who grew up in luxury, was stunned: "Isn't this bad? How about I buy it?"
Xie Qingyun also said: "Then we can't let him get away with it. Let him produce some good things. Sixth brother has been fighting for many years and he still has a lot of good things under his hands. Don't be polite."
Yan Qiushu smiled and said, "It's just one recipe. You don't need it. I have countless other recipes here."
Xiao Huaiting pursed his lips and smiled, then said seriously, "Then I won't be polite. I have too many soldiers, and it costs a lot of money to feed them well. If the pig offal can be used, the expenses can be reduced a little. Miss Shu has helped me a lot!"
"You're welcome, General Xiao." Yan Qiushu hurriedly shook her head. Xiao Huaiting had led his troops to rescue her before, and she had never found a way to repay him.
It would be a good thing if the soldiers could really eat better.
But now Xiao Huaiting has started to live frugally?
This thought flashed through her mind, and Yan Qiushu thought of the ending of the Xiao family again. She felt a little heavy-hearted and secretly glanced at Xiao Huaiqi and Xie Qingyun.
Xiao Huaiting died in battle, and the other members of the Xiao family also died in battle or from illness. Among them, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Huaiqi died of illness.
With the death of these two people, the Xiao family no longer had anyone who could consider the overall situation, and it was completely destroyed.
The ending of the Xiao family two years later was too cruel.
She was briefly immersed in her own thoughts, but she didn't expect that what she thought was a secret glance was still seen by the other four people.
Xiao Huaiting frowned and looked at his elder brother.
Xiao Huaiqi also noticed it, but was still a little hesitant. Then he noticed his brother's slightly oppressive gaze. He smiled helplessly and took the initiative to pick up the dishes. Seeing this, Xie Qingyun hurriedly followed suit.
Ah Shu was a soft-hearted child. If she persuaded them a little more, they would eat. But she didn't persuade them, for fear that they would force themselves, but she would still feel secretly disappointed.
So both of them picked up some dishes and quickly put them into their mouths, intending to praise Yan Qiushu for her dishes.
But as they ate, their expressions gradually became strange.
like……
It’s really delicious?!
Putting aside that psychological barrier, when the food is chewed, they have no idea what it originally looked like. The unique taste distinguishes it from other meats, especially the fragrant braised flavor, which adds a touch of color to them.
After finishing the meal in one bite, Xie Qingyun naturally... reached for her chopsticks again.
I had just picked up some food when a bowl was handed to me.
She paused, looked at the man with a reproachful look who refused to do anything and just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor, but she still indulged him and passed the food to him while she went to get some more food.
Xiao Huaiting looked at the two of them and quickly put some more into his own bowl.
There are too few dishes, and they are gone as soon as you finish them!
Seeing this, Shen Ping hesitated and stretched out his chopsticks. The first time, the second time, his movements gradually became firmer.
Just as Yan Qiushu was slowly finishing the food in her bowl and was about to pick up more food, she stretched out her chopsticks and found that at some point, only the bottom of the three dishes of pig intestines, pig stomach and pig heart were left!
