He has always been by Old Master Shen's side, and so has his son. Now he works as the chief secretary in the head office, so it would be appropriate for him to be entrusted with such matters.
Uncle Shen quickly agreed, "Grandpa, I'll tell him in a moment and ask him to write out the plan quickly."
Old Master Shen stood up and said, "You go and do your work. I'll go for a walk in the back garden by myself."
Uncle Shen did not follow.
He knew that once the old man said this, it meant that he was missing his deceased wife again.
Looking at the figure of Old Master Shen leaning on a cane, I just hope that Shen Zhehan can fight for it and take up the responsibility of being the head of the family.
Uncle Shen sighed and went to the living room to call his son.
At this moment, the sun is still shining brightly in the north.
It's just that the sun has just come out, so the temperature is not as high as in the previous few days.
In the yard of the Su family in Kaoshantun.
Aunt Su and Su Xiaojuan cut the mushrooms washed by Shen Qingshan into thin and even pieces, and then placed them in a large basket.
Shen Mingxi ground the seasonings she bought into powder.
Then he put it in a small bowl, bent down and smelled it. Yes, the taste was exactly the same as the one prepared by the old chef.
Then Shen Mingxi chopped the washed onion and ginger into small pieces for later use.
After the preparations were completed, Shen Mingxi went out and worked with Aunt Su to cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
With more people working together, work can be done faster. Soon, all three baskets of fresh mushrooms were cut into almost the same size cubes and placed in a large basket.
Shen Mingxi did not delay because the Su family would be preparing dinner soon.
Su Xiaojuan went to make a fire, and Shen Qingshan had already brought a large bundle of corn stalks and placed them beside her, and carefully folded them into two pieces to make it convenient for Su Xiaojuan to use.
Aunt Su looked at Shen Qingshan with a smile and teased him, "Qingshan, don't they say boys don't go into the kitchen? I see you are quite skilled at washing mushrooms and lighting fires."
"Auntie, I can cook too." Shen Qingshan boasted happily.
He was not stupid. When he said this, he secretly glanced at Su Xiaojuan next to him.
The fire was already burning.
Because the weather was hot, beads of sweat quickly appeared on the tip of Su Xiaojuan's nose.
Su Xiaojuan's face was red, like the beautiful clouds in the sky.
Shen Qingshan's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Juanzi, is it too hot here? Let me light the fire."
Shen Mingxi smiled with her lips pursed.
She also knew that Su Xiaojuan would not let Shen Qingshan make a fire now.
She said to Shen Qingshan, "Second brother, don't make trouble here, go and clean up the yard."
Shen Qingshan smiled embarrassedly and didn't dare to look at Su Xiaojuan, but he agreed readily and left quickly.
Shen Mingxi laughed.
Su Xiaojuan said coquettishly, "Xiaoxi, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Mingxi blinked, looked at the oil in the pot, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaojuan, don't disbelieve me, my second brother really knows how to cook."
At this time, the oil in the pot had already heated to the temperature Shen Mingxi required.
She deftly put the chopped green onion and ginger into the pot, and stir-fried them with a large spoon. After the aroma of green onion and ginger came out, she poured the mushrooms in the basket into the pot.
Continue to stir fry constantly.
Stir-fry for a few times and add appropriate amount of water.
Shen Mingxi then said, "Sister Xiaojuan, just turn down the fire a little."
Mushroom sauce needs to be simmered slowly over medium heat and stirred constantly during the simmering process. If the pot gets a little sticky, the whole pot of mushroom sauce will be ruined.
The cooking pots in every household are actually quite large.
A basket of mushrooms is just enough for half a pot.
At this time, the aroma of sauce and mushrooms had slowly spread, and even Shen Qingshan outside came over following the smell.
He took the big spoon from Xiaoxi, after all, it was a strenuous job.
With Shen Qingshan taking over, Shen Mingxi felt a little more relaxed. She and Xiaojuan lit the fire together while watching from the side.
When the mushroom sauce began to bubble up, Shen Mingxi grabbed an appropriate amount of seasoning powder and put it in.
After stirring evenly, the already delicious mushroom sauce now exudes a unique aroma.
This fragrance seems to have little hooks, making you swallow your saliva involuntarily.
Even Aunt Su couldn't help but sigh, "Why is this mushroom sauce so fragrant? This is the first time I've smelled such a strong fragrance. I've been eating mushrooms for decades, but I didn't know that such a fragrant mushroom sauce could be made..."
Shen Mingxi did not dare to slack off. Mushroom sauce looked simple, but the heat must be controlled well, otherwise the taste would be very different.
When the steam above decreased little by little, she knew that there was no moisture inside. At this time, she had already told Su Xiaojuan to turn off the fire.
At this time, Aunt Su had already prepared a large clean basin.
Shen Mingxi took the spoon, scooped a spoonful of mushroom sauce, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said with satisfaction, "It's done."
Then she quickly poured all the mushroom sauce in the pot into a large basin to cool.
In this way, the mushroom sauce made from three large baskets of mushrooms soon filled two large basins.
After all, the mushrooms look big before they are stewed, but after they are stewed, they are almost half the size, but this is still a lot.
At this moment, the sound of a truck was heard outside.
Su Xiaojuan's eyes lit up, "Mom, my second brother is back."
As he was speaking, the loud voice of Brother Su came from outside, "Mom, Juanzi."
Without waiting for Aunt Su's answer, he sniffed and walked quickly to the kitchen, saying as he walked, "Oh my God, what smells so good?"
At this time, the two large pots of mushroom sauce were placed on the large table in the kitchen to dry.
The Su family’s kitchen is quite large, but the second son of the Su family didn’t seem to see the people standing there, but instead saw the two large basins at a glance.
He walked over and took a closer look, then said to his mother in surprise, "Mom, when did you learn how to make mushroom sauce?"
Aunt Su hit her son and said with a smile, "I can't do it. This was done by Xiaoxi."
Shen Mingxi picked up the bowl next to him. They had tasted it just now. It was so fragrant and tasted exactly the same as he remembered.
It’s actually very quick to learn how to make mushroom sauce, but it’s impossible to make it exactly the same as hers without those few seasonings.
Shen Mingxi scooped a small spoonful for Brother Su, "We have all tried it, you should try it too, Brother. It's a little salty when eaten dry, but it's delicious with steamed buns or corn cakes."
After hearing this, the others swallowed their saliva again.
"We'll make corn cakes to eat in the evening." Aunt Su said quickly, then looked at Shen Mingxi, "Auntie gave out a lot of cornmeal, I'll make some more cakes, and we can share them with both families."
