Chapter 57
Just be happy if you are with a rich man who feeds you every day, but you are still pretending
The night before, Xiao Yue told Su Xiaoxiao to have a good rest and come to the store to help after her leg injury healed.
The little girl was indeed obedient and did not come to the store this morning.
However, Xiao Yue saw the hidden smile on Fang Sanhong's face, and then learned that -
"This girl was jumping up and down early in the morning. After washing up, she remembered that her leg was not healed and she couldn't come."
Just remembered it after washing?
Xiao Yue almost laughed out loud, he understood Fang Sanhong's forbearance, it was really hilarious.
Not only did Su Xiaoxiao not come, Cheng Min also didn't come this morning.
Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong didn't need to think, they knew that he must have bought some take-out breakfast and went to find Su Xiaoxiao.
"These two people." Fang Sanhong shook her head: "Last night, when I was making the bed for Xiaoxiao, she probably knew what Chengmin was thinking. She was hesitant for a while and said that he was actually very capable and designed many drawings for the school. Because he had some unpleasantness with the government before..."
Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow as he saw his hands were blue: "Cheng Min and the government are unhappy?"
She suddenly thought of Cheng Min's subtle attitude towards Duan Lin yesterday.
It turns out that he doesn't dislike Duan Lin, but rejects the government behind him?
After all, almost all the regular customers in the restaurant knew that Duan Lin, the captain of the guard, often came to Yueting to eat buffet.
No wonder……
Xiao Yue suddenly realized that although Cheng Min seemed easy to get along with and seemed like a pair of bickering lovers with Su Xiaoxiao, he actually had his own pride.
Because of the unpleasantness with the government, he turned to the university for cooperation.
But now that the city lord has been replaced, perhaps there will be some other turn of events?
Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, stopped pondering it, and continued to make lunch.
After the store was closed these few days, Xiao Yue cooked a lot of home-cooked dishes and decided to serve two new dishes today.
The first dish was naturally stir-fried green onion. Everyone had eaten it, so how could the customers not try it?
Xiao Yue fried a whole pot of it, and it only took the onlookers fifteen minutes to look at him, with the expressions changing from worry to drooling.
For the next dish, Xiao Yue made the fragrant and crispy sweet and sour pork.
The meat to be used is tenderloin, which needs to be cut into even thin slices, and then the meat slices should be hit a few times with the back of a knife. This will make it easier to marinate.
You don’t need to put too much seasoning for the marinade, just rice wine, pepper, salt, egg white and most importantly, potato starch.
When the pink meat is coated with pure white starch paste, it will make a sticky sound when Xiao Yue grabs and mixes it. Finally, cover it with a layer of sesame oil and let it marinate aside.
The side dishes needed for the pot-fried pork are not many, such as shredded green onion, ginger, garlic, shredded carrots, coriander...
Everything is cut and the meat is almost marinated.
Xiao Yue poured a large amount of oil into the pot and let the clear oil begin to heat up with the fire at the bottom of the pot.
Deep-frying sweet and sour pork requires patience, after all, you have to put it into the pan piece by piece.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue prepared lunch a quarter of an hour earlier today, so he had plenty of time.
Pieces of pink and white meat were put into the pot. Because the oil temperature was just right, a "sizzling" sound was quickly heard, and the meat sank to the bottom and then emerged from the oil surface.
After about a quarter of an hour, the aroma of fried meat filled the entire front room.
Xiao Yue gently tapped the meat slices in the pot with a colander to slightly separate the ones that were stuck together, and then scooped them all out.
This is not completely fried. The next step is to increase the temperature of the oil in the whole pot and fry it a second time to make the sweet and sour pork more crispy.
After completing this step, Xiao Yue poured out a large amount of oil, leaving a small amount of base oil in the pot, put in shredded green onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry, and added water, sugar, balsamic vinegar and other seasonings.
After a while, small bubbles appeared in the sauce in the pot, and Xiao Yue poured the sweet and sour pork and coriander into it.
In an instant, the crispy skin of the pot-baked pork touched the brown-red sauce, and the spatula waved, and the two were tightly connected together, making the golden crispness covered with red-brown sourness and sweetness, with faint traces of green in between.
The sweet and sour pork is out of the pot!
The customers couldn't wait any longer. Those watching in the store saw Xiao Yue packing the dishes and followed him outside.
When the people in the queue saw this, they immediately started discussing it out loud.
"What's new today?"
"I just heard someone say there are some strange mushrooms today?"
"How strange?"
"They say that when you cut it open it turns blue-green like mold..."
“Ah, can this be eaten?”
The customers looked at each other, and soon entered the store, still holding this thought in their minds.
After all, no matter how great Madam Xiao’s cooking skills are, what if the food itself is poisonous?
But when the people led by Zhao Liang arrived at the food pick-up area, they saw the dish called "Stir-fried Green Onions", the color, the oiliness, and the smell, and immediately forgot those thoughts.
Zhao Liang couldn't wait to scoop up two large spoonfuls, took some other dishes, and immediately found a seat to sit down.
When Baochao saw the green hand in his mouth, he was stunned and his eyes met with Liu Meng who had the same reaction.
Is this poisonous?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The exact same scene took place at the tables everywhere in Yueting Buffet. Everyone was terrified before eating but convinced after eating, with only one thought in their mind.
There is no way this dish can be poisonous!
kitchen.
Xiao Yue had already expected today's scene. At this moment, he was preparing for the next round of extra dishes.
After all, who doesn’t like the delicious wild mushrooms that are the essence of the sun and the moon?
well.
…
As the store was about to close, Xiao Yue had no work to do and was just about to tell Fang Sanhong to go find a doctor to prescribe some medicine for Xiaoju's injury.
But when Xiao Yue was about to leave the kitchen, he stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Fu Xunzhou on the side couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yue turned her gaze to him and asked slowly, "...the doctor in the city, the one who came to the store twice before, can you prescribe medicine for the cat?"
Fu Xunzhou: “?”
His silence made Xiao Yue silent as well, and she stopped where she was and pondered.
I actually forgot this. Modern doctors are all in charge of their own things. In ancient times, most doctors treated humans. How could they treat cats?
Moreover, cats cannot use the medicines used by modern people, let alone in ancient times when medical care was backward?
Fu Xunzhou came back to his senses: "...Xiaoju is injured?"
"Yes." Xiao Yue replied: "I checked it when I touched it last night. I don't know if the wound is deep, but we have to take a look and apply medicine, right? Do you know where there is a doctor who treats animals?"
After all, she had never raised a cat, so she didn't know how to deal with it. To be on the safe side, she decided to ask a pure ancient person.
But when Fu Xunzhou heard her say "When I touched it", he always felt like she mentioned it deliberately.
He was silent for a while, then came up with a solution: "Someone in the mansion has a cat. Duan Lin helped to hire a doctor who specializes in treating cats..."
As he was talking, Duan Lin, who had just finished his meal, walked to the door. When he heard his name, he paused and saw two people in the room looking at him, one in front and one behind.
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to Guard Duan. I'll thank you on behalf of Xiaoju!"
Duan Lin: “Ah?”
After a while, after listening to Fu Xunzhou's instructions, Duan Lin left with a complicated expression.
After cleaning up the store, Xiao Yue thought about it and decided not to put food for Xiaoju in the bowl in the corner, so that it would come to him specifically like it did last night.
Sure enough, when Duan Lin came with a woman in orange, the little orange cat had just jumped from the roof to the corner where it was last night.
Seeing the empty dishes, it meowed and looked up at Xiao Yue who was standing at the kitchen door.
Xiao Yue inexplicably felt that the look was a bit resentful. Thinking about it, he had just moved the place where it ate last night, so he would not give it an extra meal today.
She coughed lightly, squatted down and waved at it: "Xiaoju, let me check your wound first, then I'll give you a big meal, how about that?"
“Meow…”
Xiaoju sat there and stared at her, his pair of white gloves covered by his tail. He didn't run away, just looked at her.
Xiao Yue felt even more guilty, and was wondering what to do when the girl in the orange dress, who specialized in treating animal injuries, flashed by like a shadow with quick eyes and hands.
The next second, she caught the little orange cat in her arms.
“Meow——?!”
Hearing the little orange cat's shrill screams, Xiao Yue was shocked and stood up quickly.
"What are you yelling for?" The orange-dressed woman held it up, looking disgusted but actually amused: "I didn't even use any strength, but you acted like I was going to kill you. If you keep yelling, you won't get food later. You can be happy just by being with a rich man who feeds you every day, but you're still pretending..."
The words became more and more frequent, like chanting a sutra.
But Xiao Yue just watched the little orange cat give up struggling, meow in grievance, and look at him.
“Meow!”
It seems like he is saying help.
this……
ah?
Xiao Yue knew that the orange-dressed woman really couldn't use any force, and since Xiaoju stopped struggling so quickly, this meow was different from the shrill scream just now...
Is the little orange cat really pretending?
Xiao Yue was about to say something but stopped himself. While he was hesitating, the woman in orange had already sat down and started to show the location of the wound to the little orange cat.
He looked at it and frowned, and finally said "Huh".
"It won't be serious, right?" Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking that no matter how clean a cat is, it won't have very good conditions to maintain it.
Is the wound infected?
The woman in orange was silent for a while. She put the little orange cat on her lap and took out the things she had with her. She cut the hair at the edge of the wound while explaining helplessly.
"Don't worry, it's not serious. I was wondering why the cat looked familiar to me. I live next to the school, and this cat often hangs out near that street. It's a street bully. Not to mention cats, even dogs that steal its food will get pawed. This wound was left by it fighting with a big black dog. But now it's in my hands, humph."
Xiao Yue: “…”
Fu Xunzhou: “…”
Fang Sanhong: “…”
Duan Lin: “…”
ah?
Xiao Yue couldn't believe it. When she came to her senses, she found that the little orange cat was just as Sun Shan said. It didn't move in her hands.
Whether it's cutting hair, cleaning wounds, applying medicine... it doesn't make any difference at all.
Only a pair of eyes were fixed on Xiao Yue, and a weak and long whimper came from his throat.
Xiao Yue opened his mouth and said after a while: "It's not a tabby cat, is it?"
"Pfft." Sun Shan laughed. "It's true that tabby cats are better at fighting, but I often see this cat and a tabby cat hanging out together."
Xiao Yue: “…”
So you learned this from your elder brother?
But at this moment, Xiao Yue looked at the aggrieved little orange and couldn't help but reach out and touch its head.
"Meow~"
Xiaoju took the initiative to rub against her, his voice was so sweet.
Not long after, Sun Shan handed the kitten to Xiao Yue and gave him some instructions.
"It's not a serious injury. I think it will be fine in two or three days. Oh, here are some medicines. Remember to add them to its food and feed it to it later. Don't worry. I just told it. It will follow you from now on."
Xiao Yue: “……?”
Have you mentioned it?
How did you say it?
But Xiao Yue didn't know that Sun Shan had something urgent to deal with and left quickly after handling it.
Xiao Yue looked at her back, then lowered his head to look at the little orange cat in his arms.
"Meow~"
Xiao Yue: “…I believe it.”
Fu Xunzhou saw all this and couldn't help but said with a smile: "It looks like it will be a member of Yueting in the future."
He looked into Xiao Yue's eyes, which were full of tenderness.
