Song Bo's originally nonchalant demeanor became serious when he heard Mu Xingzhi's words. He then thought for a moment and said, "Madam Su's behavior is not like that of an ordinary girl in the boudoir, but she is not a simple and crude country girl either. Instead..."
"But what is it?"
"Although there are slight differences, this swift and decisive action style seems like she has been in the military camp since she was a child..." Song Bo then laughed, "Impossible, Madam Su has not concealed her girlish demeanor, and she has pierced ears. Even if she disguised herself as a man to go to the military camp, not to mention that she is too young, just looking at her appearance, she is obviously a man of women."
After listening to Song Bo's speculation, Mu Xingzhi seemed to be thinking about something.
Su Qingluan certainly didn't know that Song Bo guessed part of the truth but not the whole truth - the reason why her words and deeds had some military demeanor was entirely because her master himself was in the army when he was young, and opened a restaurant when he was old, and many of the people he interacted with were old friends from the army or their children.
Of course, when correcting little Su Qingluan, he had to follow the army's military training requirements - but the division loved his adopted daughter Su Qingluan very much, and always called her back to rest and eat fruit halfway through the "training".
As for the rest, of course, just escape if you can.
Although everyone is now familiar with the routine and the workload today is not too heavy, Su Qingluan still decided to go to "Su Ji" to take another look while it is still early.
Recently, she was discussing with the Xie family the time when "Su Ji" would actually start to open for business - after all, this "head office" mainly sells high-end desserts, and its customer base is not ordinary people, so both parties feel that although the shop is relatively comfortable now, if it is to be opened for business, it still has to wait until after going to the capital.
Su Qingluan also considered that going to the capital would be a better option for the future development of "Su Ji" and the future of the whole family.
However, although "Su Ji" fruit jam is expensive and very popular in the capital, it is only popular among a niche group after all.
According to the production method and efficiency of "Su Ji" jam, if you want to achieve a larger-scale influence, you have to wait until next year at the earliest.
Therefore, Su Qingluan decided to open "Su Ji" directly in the capital after the beginning of next spring, so as to maximize the "opening" effect when everyone is eagerly waiting.
The shop in Lefeng County serves as a processing point - after all, the raw materials for "Su Ji" fruit jam must be produced in Huaxi Village and surrounding villages and towns, otherwise the original idea of using wild fruits to make fruit jam would be completely useless.
Even though they are all wild fruits, Su Qingluan believes that the taste and style of fruits produced in different environments are completely different.
For example, in modern times, "northern fruits" and "tropical fruits" have distinct temperaments in terms of taste and flavor.
Generally speaking, most of the fruits that are fresh, juicy and crispy are from the north, while tropical fruits tend to be softer, have thick flesh and a sweet taste.
Su Qingluan thought that with so many wild fruit trees in and around Huaxi Village, it was definitely possible to turn this area into a sustainable production line. She just hoped that someone would realize the value of these fruit trees and curb the practice of logging in the mountains and burning the fruit trees as ordinary firewood.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan had already arrived outside the shop.
Seeing that the weather outside is getting colder and colder, especially at night, some shallow puddles have begun to show signs of ice. Under such low temperatures, even if the sky is clear outside, it is not suitable to place jam and some moist raw materials - such as fresh flowers - outdoors.
Although Su Ji didn't have floor heating like those wealthy families, they could still burn a charcoal basin - what's more, with the current level of cold, as long as the doors and windows on all sides were tightly closed, the indoor temperature would rise a lot - after all, the whistling west wind was the main reason why people felt freezing.
Of course, since the kitchen is located outdoors, the steps that require heating the stove still need to be done outdoors, but because there is firewood underneath, Su Qingluan does not have to worry about the ingredients freezing.
Traditional stoves are made of stone bricks and mud, and are not afraid of cold weather. Even if the temperature is too low and the mud freezes and cracks, you can just add a little mud while the stove is still warm.
"Everyone, be careful with the threshold under your feet, and remember to step over it in pairs!" When Su Qingluan walked into the shop, she saw Liu Yunniang directing everyone to move the bottles and jars outside to their original shelves inside the shop.
Today we need to put these bottles and jars indoors first. No matter whether they are porcelain jars for jam or large casseroles, clay pots for cooking large pots of rice, or coarse porcelain bowls for everyone to eat, we are afraid that each one will be knocked and dropped.
So what was originally a "joyful" working scene became a cautious scene today where everyone was "not even daring to breathe", and only Liu Yunniang's voice was particularly loud.
When Su Qingluan walked over, Liu Yunniang had just "rescued" a stack of several porcelain jars in a wooden box from a person who almost tripped over the threshold.
Su Qingluan sighed when she saw this scene: "Yunniang, you not only saved the jars, but also the hollow wooden box outside was saved thanks to you!"
When Yunniang heard Su Qingluan's teasing, she said unhappily, "Which lover have you been meeting for the whole day?"
Su Qingluan cried out in injustice: "How dare I, my dear aunt! It's really urgent, urgent! Look at my paws, they look like they fell into a pile of coal!" As she said that, she handed over a pair of hands that were rubbed black by charcoal pencils and had not been washed yet.
Now, Liu Yunniang had to believe that Su Qingluan was working even if she didn't want to.
In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Yunniang is so resentful today. It was originally agreed that although the workload today is not much, because almost all the things are afraid of being bumped, it takes at least two people to take care of so many people moving in and out, so the two of them agreed to come together.
As a result, Su Qingluan remembered the wrong class date and stood up Liu Yunniang at the last minute.
In Su Qingluan's opinion, Liu Yunniang didn't beat her up because she had a free and easy personality and had a deep friendship with her!
After signing a series of compensation agreements, including but not limited to "making a small snack that suits Yunniang's taste", Su Qingluan finally gained the forgiveness of the person she was with, but she herself was once again burdened with a food debt.
…Even though people have a lot of debts, they don’t worry.
"It looks like the work is almost done." Su Qingluan looked around the empty open-air kitchen.
"Huh, you think it's so simple," Liu Yunniang snorted coldly, "Is it because the store hasn't officially opened yet that the internal cleaning has been simple?"
Su Qingluan was stunned and had a bad feeling in her heart.
