But for now, she still had to think of a way to let the two little guys finish this meal first.
Looking at the old pumpkin in the corner, Su Qingluan had an idea.
Over there, Yang prepared two pieces of pork, a fish, and a chicken according to Su Qingluan's requirements, marinating them and cutting them. Then she turned to look at her eldest daughter and said happily, "Oh, I know this green dough is made with vegetable juice, what about this yellow one?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward and sniffed: "Pumpkin?"
Su Qingluan nodded: "I put steamed pumpkin puree in it, and it turned into this light yellow color!"
"You're so creative." Yang watched Su Qingluan use yellow, white, and green dough to make all sorts of steamed buns in the shape of flowers, twisted dough sticks, and leaves. She said curiously, "Oh, how did you come up with these ideas? Even your steamed buns are different from others!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Today is Yunniang's 'welcome banquet' after all. Although the main dish is steamed buns, it should be made in a unique way to be considered a 'banquet'!"
After Su Qingluan finished shaping the buns, the remaining steps of steaming the buns were handed over to Yang - after all, even if there was an additional shape, the basic steps and heat of steaming the buns remained unchanged.
Su Qingluan had already started cutting a piece of pork belly - she was going to make a bowl of pagoda meat.
In fact, pagoda meat is essentially the same as braised pork, except that the shape is more unique, so it requires higher knife skills. However, it is not a particularly difficult task for Su Qingluan.
While she was busy here, Su Qingluan heard her sister's shrill laughter, like a young child's, behind her.
Su Qingluan turned her head and saw Liu Yunniang holding Su Xueyan under her armpits, holding her up in the air. Because Su Xueyan was only three or four years old and relatively light, and Liu Yunniang was very strong, she swung the little girl left and right, swinging her in the air as if she was about to fly.
Maybe the little girl had never felt this "flying feeling" in her life, and she couldn't help but shouting loudly with excitement. Her little face was flushed with excitement, and she looked very happy. Her little mouth was full of words like "Sister Yunniang is so great!" "Sister Yunniang is so amazing!" "Sister Yunniang made me fly!"
It was obvious to the naked eye that Liu Yunniang had no resistance to the cuteness of this milky white little baby. Her face kept showing the expression of those cat and dog slaves in her previous life when they saw cute cats and dogs. She was lost in the crisp calls of "Sister Yunniang".
Su Xuanhe, who was sitting facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes, was supposed to be facing the wall with his back to the yard, but now his whole body was twisted into a knot. Although his toes were still facing the wall, he would look back from time to time, and he was very envious of his little sister.
Moreover, the little guy would quickly glance at the kitchen before turning back every time, for fear that Su Qingluan would find out - ever since he witnessed Su Qingluan's anger just now, the person Su Xiaoer feared most in the family has changed from his mother to his sister.
Su Qingluan pretended not to see her silly brother's little trick, but secretly laughed so hard that she almost broke the cooked and compacted pagoda meat with her knife.
In fact, if the pagoda meat is frozen for three hours, it will be easier to cut - but that is only for people with average knife skills. Su Qingluan's knife skills are excellent, so naturally she is not so strict.
As for the pickled mustard greens that were originally planned to be added, Su Qingluan didn't like the texture, and there were no ready-made pickled mustard greens, so she seasoned it completely according to the braised pork.
Even though the pagoda meat is a bit weird, she is the originator of this dish here, so no one can find fault with her, right?
Liu Yunniang was joining the dinner today, and since it was considered a "guest banquet", the Su family prepared eight meat dishes and eight vegetable dishes in addition to millet porridge and flower steamed buns.
Even if Su Qingluan had three heads and six arms, she probably couldn't prepare eight dishes in such a short time. So Yang not only helped Su Qingluan with the meat dishes, but also took charge of the vegetarian dishes.
Today, Su Qingluan made pagoda meat, sweet and sour pork, garlic fish fillets and smoked chicken. The vegetarian dishes were stir-fried spinach, stir-fried eggplant with green beans, stir-fried leeks and stir-fried mixed mushrooms.
When all the dishes were placed on the table, Liu Yunniang sighed, "Even the emperor and his concubines in the palace probably only eat dishes like this, right?"
Su Qingluan thought to herself that the imperial chef's cooking skills might not be as good as someone like me who has transcended time and space. However, she remained modest and said, "How could that be possible? Yunniang, you really know how to praise people!"
