Chapter 569 Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing are here
The spatial spirit roared in frustration in her sea of consciousness, "How can this be the same? It's not even on the same level!"
Su Nuan raised a lazy smile at the corner of her lips, "It doesn't matter."
She stroked the gold frame and said, "When you're alive, the most important thing is to be happy yourself. Expecting others to bring you happiness is worse than hoping for the sun to rise in the west."
"Those who bully me..." A cold light flashed in her eyes, "I will repay you tenfold."
"He came knocking on my door..." She sneered, "Break his legs and throw him out."
"As for those who want to kill me..."
She suddenly smiled brightly, but the temperature around her dropped sharply. "Killing them directly would be so boring."
"Today I learned a new trick from my mother-in-law. Watching your enemy slowly crumble is truly satisfying."
The space spirit shuddered. It was over. She looked like a gentle little beauty, but how could she turn into a cannibalistic female demon with just a few words?
Seeing that the space spirit stopped talking, Su Nuan simply went back to her room, changed into a simple cotton skirt, and went to the kitchen.
The fish and pork offal that we ordered just now have been delivered, and several aunties in the kitchen are cleaning them.
They looked a little unfamiliar, and Su Nuan just smiled in response. She always felt that she could scare people away as soon as she opened her mouth.
A plump auntie smiled warmly when she saw Su Nuan and said, "Madam is back. We will pack up right away."
Seeing that they were all very enthusiastic towards her and each of them showed a look of fear, Su Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll make the braised pork soup first."
"Wait a minute, wash the pig's head and other things clean, then rinse it with water and then rinse it clean."
The fat lady said with some embarrassment: "Isn't the recipe for braised pork a secret? Let's go out and wash it."
After saying that, she was about to chase people away.
Su Nuan quickly stopped them, "No need to go out. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Then we can make it at home as a treat for the boys and girls."
The fat lady rubbed her hands excitedly, "Really?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, but let me be frank."
Everyone's faces tensed and they looked at Su Nuan anxiously.
Su Nuan said seriously, "Cooking is neither simple nor easy, because the same ingredients and seasonings can produce different flavors when cooked by different people."
“After you learn this, some of you will definitely make something really delicious, while others will not be so good.”
"If your skills aren't good enough, don't blame me or say I didn't teach you well enough."
The fat lady immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Learn from Madam today. If you can't learn, it's your own fault. Don't blame Madam."
"If anyone doesn't study hard, can't make good things, and still complains, I'll definitely let you know how powerful I am if I find out."
The women in the kitchen all shuddered, as if they were very afraid of the fat aunt.
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, you guys go ahead and get some herbs."
Originally, she could use the braised meat ingredients prepared in the space, but in order to teach them, Su Nuan needed to grab the ingredients again and separate them one by one for them to identify.
When Su Nuan came back, the pig's trotters and other items had already been rinsed with hot water and the women were washing them.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Put down what you are doing first and identify the herbs."
The women immediately rubbed their hands on their aprons and stood obediently.
"These are star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves..." Su Nuan's voice was clear and powerful, making people unconsciously pay attention and remember them.
The women sometimes leaned in to sniff it carefully, and sometimes pinched a small piece and held it in their mouths.
In just a quarter of an hour, they all showed an eager look on their faces. Even if they could not remember the appearance of the medicinal herbs, the unique spicy fragrance was already deeply imprinted in their minds.
The fat lady rubbed her rough palms and said with a worried look, "My cooking has always been strong. Why don't I let my wife learn? I just don't know if this recipe can be passed on to others."
Su Nuan smiled knowingly. This fat aunt looked honest, but was actually very thoughtful. She not only asked what everyone was thinking, but also left enough room for herself to maneuver.
"Feel free to pass on the recipe. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I'll hold a fair and select the one with the best skills. I'll reward her with a street-side shop specializing in stewing and braised dishes."
After a pause, she added, "However, the rent for the shop is only waived until the end of the year. You must pay the rent as usual next year."
The women were immediately excited, their eyes lighting up with fighting spirit.
Some people have started planning to bring their daughters to study together, while others are secretly grumbling that they hate their own poor skills.
Looking at their eager expressions, Su Nuan raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Initially, she did think about monopolizing the braised food business, but now, looking at the increasingly prosperous Beidi, she suddenly realized that allowing more people to have a livelihood and hope is the real way to development.
She smiled and said, "Now I will teach you the most crucial step, stir-frying the sugar color."
There is only a small amount of brown sugar in the north now. When the women saw Su Nuan scoop a large spoonful of brown sugar into the frying pan, they were dumbfounded.
This spoonful is enough for a new mother to drink until she leaves the confinement period, so how can you afford to cook?
Su Nuan saw the pain on their faces and said with a smile, "We have a lot of things to braise today. This spoonful will help color them better. You'll know how delicious the braised meat looks when it comes out of the pot."
“Food should not only taste good, but also satisfy the eyes, because people will be hungry when they see it, and then they will want to buy it when they are hungry.”
"So, only something that has all the characteristics of color, aroma and taste can be called a delicacy. Otherwise, it can only be called 'delicious'."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and no one felt sorry anymore.
Su Nuan stir-fries the sugar color, puts in the braised meat, adds the soup and seasonings all in one go, and then covers the pot.
"Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer it over medium heat for half an hour before reducing it to low heat. As long as the bottom isn't burnt, you can cook it for any length of time; the only difference is how soft it is."
After she finished speaking, she went to get a cleaned big carp and started to make braised fish.
After a while, Xue came in carrying a basket of eggs and said, "Why is it so lively?"
Su Nuan smiled and recounted the story. When she saw the eggs, she immediately said, "We have some eggs. Boil half of them, then peel them and put them in the pot with the braised meat."
The fat lady immediately reached out to take the eggs and said, "I'll cook them."
Xue nodded, looked at Su Nuan and asked, "Do you know anyone with the surname Bai?"
Su Nuan was stunned. "Bai? Is it the Bai family from Luancheng?"
Xue responded, "Yes, many of them have come, and are now stopped at the city gate."
Su Nuan immediately untied her apron and stuffed it into Xue's hands, "Mom, keep an eye on the pot until the sauce is almost reduced."
After she finished speaking, she ran out of the kitchen, leaving only the tail sound behind.
Xue smiled and shook her head, then put on her apron.
On the other side, Su Nuan arrived at the city gate as quickly as possible and saw a long queue from afar.
Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing both arrived, but they were arguing with the guards with red faces and angry expressions.
Su Nuan was puzzled. Hadn't she given Bai Chen the token? Why didn't he take it out? Why did he have to argue with the guard?
