Chapter 51 The Second Master is Sick (Second Update)
The original lamb slices are delicious. If they are brushed with some barbecue sauce and sprinkled with cumin powder, they will be even more delicious.
Su Yujin ate with relish, and suddenly remembered that when she had been eating hot pot in a charcoal stove, the Second Master had come to Qinghe County in the rain. She didn't know if the Second Master would suddenly come to her on a snowy day like he did last time. "A-choo!"
He Yanxiu put down the hand that was lifting the curtain.
"It's windy and snowy outside, Second Master, be careful not to catch a cold." Xing'an turned around, fixed the blanket in the carriage for He Yan, and checked the charcoal stove for heating in the carriage. Seeing that it was still burning warm, he felt relieved.
But he still grumbled a few times, "The weather has been bad these past two days. If Second Master must come to see Miss Su, he can wait a few more days."
There is no need to come here at this time.
The Second Master has had a stuffy nose these days, which is a sign of a cold, and he has been hanging around outside at this time. If his condition worsens, it will be the fault of these servants.
"The Ministry of Revenue has been busy since winter, and only has some free time these few days. If you don't come now, it will be the end of the year in a few days, and you will have even less time. If you want to come, you'll have to wait until after the New Year." He Yanxiu replied calmly.
So, the Second Master missed Miss Su so much? But when he came back last time, he didn't let Miss Su serve him, and I don't know why he missed Miss Su so much.
Thinking about her good cooking skills, she dozed off in front of the Second Master while they were talking and chatting?
Xing'an scratched his head, indicating that he couldn't figure it out.
He Yanxiu gathered the blanket on his knees and asked, "Where are we?"
It was freezing cold, and the carriage was moving slowly. They started on their journey in the morning, but had not yet arrived after walking for half a day. He was already feeling a little unwell, and after being shaken all the way, he felt really uncomfortable.
"We have arrived in Qinghe County. It will only take two meals to reach Shuanggui Lane." Xing'an replied.
"Yeah." He Yanxiu closed his eyes.
When he noticed that the carriage had slowed down a bit, he lifted the curtain beside the bed again.
What comes into view is a restaurant, which is quite lively with people coming and going.
"This restaurant seems to be newly opened." He Yanxiu said casually.
Xing'an looked around and said, "Yes, I remember that this was a teahouse at first. This restaurant must have just opened. It looks quite lively. I think the food is good. Do you want to try it, Second Master?"
Tastes good?
Will it be better than the food cooked by Su Yujin?
He Yanxiu paused slightly.
At this moment, Xing'an looked up and saw Ai Cao coming out of the guest house with a food box in her hand.
Ai Cao came out of the Huibin Building with a happy face. When she saw the carriage parked on the side of the road, she was surprised at first, and then when she saw Xing'an standing next to the carriage, she hurried over and asked, "Is it the Second Master?"
Second Master came to see the girl? Then he could see the girl's long-lost peony-like smile again.
Ai Cao's face was full of excitement. "It's freezing cold, Second Master, please go home quickly. The young lady is making barbecue at home. She asked the maid to go to the guest house to get some fish and mutton, saying that she wants to drink some hot soup."
He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows, "Your daughter is an excellent cook, but she actually looks down on the food outside?"
"Second Master may not know that Uncle Zheng in the guest house is an excellent cook. He can't be said to be better than Miss, but he is on par with Miss. The food he makes tastes very good, and even Miss praises him highly."
Seeing this, Xing'an teased, "Uncle Zheng? You call him so affectionately."
"The young lady called him that, so I followed suit and called him Chef Zheng." Ai Cao chuckled, then felt that what she said was not quite right, and hurriedly explained, "This Uncle Zheng is the chef the young lady invited to cook. He is quite old, and the young lady respects him, so she called him Uncle Zheng."
Uncle Zheng is the chef of Huibinlou.
Uncle Zheng is the chef invited by Miss Su.
Wait, that means...
"Is this hotel opened by Miss Su?" Xing'an widened his eyes.
Even He Yanxiu sat up straight.
"Yes." Ai Cao nodded and laughed, "It was opened by the girl. It has been around for about 20 days. Thanks to the second master, the business is quite prosperous."
Wow, I haven't been to Qinghe for just a few months, and Miss Su has already opened a big restaurant? Xing'an smacked his lips in surprise.
He Yanxiu also raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Yujin is so smart and capable? And she seems to be very ambitious...
The carriage went all the way to Shuanggui Lane.
Because Ai Cao went to report the news first, when He Yanxiu arrived in the yard, Su Yujin had already prepared everything to welcome He Yanxiu.
First, he served hot tea and a heater to warm He Yanxiu up, and then asked him what he would like to have for lunch.
He Yanxiu glanced around and saw the meat on Su Yujin's charcoal grill sizzling with fragrance, so he said, "Let's just eat these. I just heard Ai Cao say that he brought some fish and mutton. Add some pancakes and it's a simple meal."
"Yes." Su Yujin agreed and asked Ai Cao and Mama Liu to prepare some freshly cut mutton and heat up the fish and mutton on the fire. As for the pancakes, she went to Su Ji to get the ox tongue pancakes.
Su Yujin went to make a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water and brought it to He Yanxiu. "It sounds like Second Master has a stuffy nose. I guess it's because you caught a cold in the winter. Drink some to get rid of the cold."
"Hmm." He Yanxiu brought it over and drank half the cup in one breath.
Su Yujin then grilled the meat in front of the charcoal fire, and also grilled the fish fillets that had just been marinated but not grilled yet.
The mutton was tender and paired with tender green leaves, plus the barbecue sauce prepared by Su Yujin, He Yanxiu felt like he was enjoying a feast.
It took a quarter of an hour to grill the fish. Su Yujin removed the main bones and gave the fish meat that was basically boneless to He Yanxiu to eat.
"You can eat too." He Yanxiu pushed one of the two plates of fish in front of him to Su Yujin.
"Yes, Second Master."
Su Yujin did not lie after getting the consent. In addition to the fish, she also put some roasted tofu skin rolls with coriander on the plate.
Both tofu skin and coriander are delicious. After being brushed with sauce, they are not dry and taste great.
But this grilled fish...
Su Yujin frowned and sighed.
She prepared the marinade for the pickled fish, but asked Ai Cao to do the pickling process, and told her to remember to add some salt while pickling. But now the fish tastes very bland, obviously Ai Cao forgot to do this.
Su Yujin looked at He Yanxiu who was eating the fish in small bites without saying anything, and hesitantly asked, "Second Master, what do you think of the taste of this fish? How salty is it?"
"That's right." He Yanxiu replied.
It doesn't mean the taste is bland.
Su Yujin slowly asked a question in her mind, sprinkled a lot of salt on the eggplant slices that had just been roasted, and handed them to He Yanxiu, "How does this eggplant taste?"
"The fire is a little high."
It didn't say it tasted salty.
Su Yujin, "..."
This second master, maybe he is a little sick...
