Chapter 151 Chapter 151 A few years ago, Su...
Su Li had made cold noodles a few years ago. Chen, Su Tao and Wu Po had all eaten it, so they knew the name, but it was the first time for Su's father and the other two to eat it.
"Liangpi?" Father Su repeated the name again. It was indeed cool and very comfortable to eat.
He picked up two large pieces of cold noodles covered with red oil with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. He moved quickly and soon, the whole bowl of cold noodles was gone. Then he picked up the remaining peanuts and cucumber shreds in the bowl and ate them one by one. After he finished, he put the bowl down and wiped his mouth.
“That’s really good.”
The same thing happened to Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe. Both of them were young men in their twenties, at the age when they could eat the most. They finished a bowl of rice in no time. However, they were not full at all after finishing a bowl, so they shared the rest of the rice with the two brothers Awen and Awu.
Awen and Awu held their bowls and ate happily. It was only after coming to the Su family that they realized that there was such delicious food in the world. In comparison, they had the illusion that they had eaten pig food before. Moreover, after coming to the Su family, they also ate many new things, such as this cold skin, which was elastic and smooth, and was simply delicious.
Not only did they think it was delicious, but the three people who had just bought food on the same boat were also amazed by the taste.
Lin Qingqing was really tired of eating the food on the boat, but her stepmother would not let her get off the boat and buy food with her own money. Her father was also the same. He only knew how to take sides and even joined her stepmother in saying that she did not know how to save money. Qingqing was very angry, but she could not say anything. After all, she still had to rely on her father to choose a good husband for her.
Humph, when she finds a husband, she can leave this home, and then she won't have to see them again. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's steps became much lighter as she carried the cold noodles.
"Dad, I'm back." Lin Qingqing pushed open the door. The two people inside were already eating. They never waited for her before eating, so she was used to it.
"Qingqing, where have you been? Why did you come back just now? What are you holding in your hand?" Lin Qingqing's stepmother saw what Lin Qingqing was holding at a glance and asked.
Lin Qingqing didn't want to pay attention to her, "You didn't leave any food for me, so of course I bought it myself."
Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingqing's father, Lin Juren, became unhappy, "You have been running around all day and blaming others for not leaving food for you. If you were sensible and obedient, you should come and help your mother when you see her cooking... I really don't know how your mother taught you..."
Lin Qingqing originally wanted to endure it, but when she heard about her dead mother, she couldn't help it. "You are sensible, you are the most sensible, and you still abandoned your wife and daughter."
"You..." Mr. Lin's heart sank when he heard this, "How can you talk to your father like that?"
He was about to lose his temper. Seeing that something was wrong, Liu quickly tried to smooth things over. "Okay, Master, stop talking. Qingqing has a childish temper, and you are acting like her. Eat your meal, or it will get cold."
After hearing this, Mr. Lin immediately felt that Liu was sensible. He began to have more opinions about his daughter, with whom he had not gotten along since childhood. She was really a bad omen.
However, he looked at the boiled vegetables in front of him and really had no appetite. "Forget it, I'm already full of anger, I won't eat anymore."
"Master, your health is important. Come, eat another piece of meat..." After saying that, Liu picked up a piece of boiled meat and put it into Mr. Lin's bowl.
Mr. Lin felt his stomach churning. His new wife was good in every way except her cooking skills. She was also too stingy and petty. Thinking of this, he began to regret that he had stopped his daughter from getting off the boat to buy food. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Liu. It wasn't her money anyway, so why did she stop Qingqing from buying it? Really.
Just at this time, Lin Qingqing had already started eating the cold noodles, which were so delicious that the wind blew and the aroma of the red oil of the cold noodles wafted over. It was so delicious that Mr. Lin felt hungry again.
"What... did you eat? Let me try it..." Mr. Lin is very thick-skinned. He can be scolding Lin Qingqing in the last second and pretend nothing happened in the next second. If you ask him if he is not embarrassed at this time, he will say, she is my daughter, why should I be embarrassed.
Lin Qingqing despised this point of his the most, but she had to rely on him to find a husband for her. Thinking of this, she could only bear it and picked some from the bowl and put it into the other person's bowl.
Liu, who was standing next to her, saw it and wanted some too, but Lin Qingqing seemed to have predicted her thoughts and said the next second, "No more. I don't have enough for myself." These words completely blocked her words. Liu could only shut up and looked at Mr. Lin, hoping that he would say something. But Mr. Lin was not interested in her at this time because he didn't have enough for himself.
"Not bad. Where did you buy this noodles?" Mr. Lin wiped his mouth after eating and felt relaxed all over. That's right, this is what people should eat.
Lin Qingqing still had some left in her bowl, and when she heard her father ask, she casually told him. Mr. Lin said "oh" when he heard it, but he didn't really want to care about it, so he said the next second, "When you buy some tonight, bring me some back."
Lin Qingqing wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but she had indeed had enough of the terrible food on the ship, so she agreed.
On the other side, Li Si also entered the house carrying cold noodles. At this time, the man in the house was still sleeping on the bed. Li Si could only call out softly, "Young Master, Young Master, it's time for lunch..."
The young man was woken up and was about to lose his temper, but he saw the food in Li Si's hand. He touched his stomach and found that he was indeed hungry, so he stood up. At this time, Li Si hurried forward to support him and help him put on his clothes.
"What is this?" The young man looked at the cold noodles in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He had never seen this thing before. Is it edible?
Li Si quickly said the name, "Liangpi?" What a thing, the name is ugly too.
He stirred it twice with chopsticks, and the red oil of the cold noodles mixed with a faint fragrance spread out.
He picked up a piece and smelled it. It smelled pretty good.
He glanced suspiciously at the person in front of him, "Have you eaten yet?"
Li Si thought that the other party cared about him, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart. He thought that the young master was still a good person, although his temper was a little bad.
However, the next second the boy's words pulled him out of his warmth.
"not yet…"
"You're letting me eat it without you? What if it's poisonous? You want to poison me to death, right?" The boy threw the chopsticks on the table in an instant.
…
Well, he was overthinking it. A young master is a young master. When has he ever changed for anyone?
Li Si quickly knelt down and confessed his guilt. Only after his anger subsided did he pick up his bowl of cold noodles to try it. It turned out that the cold noodles looked really delicious. In fact, Li Si wanted to eat it just now, but he didn't dare to eat it first because the host hadn't eaten yet, so he left it until now.
He picked up a piece of cold noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth...
"How is it?" The young man looked at Li Si curiously.
Li Si made himself swallow it quickly while nodding his head, "Yes, it's delicious!"
After hearing this, the boy picked up his chopsticks and started eating. However, after taking the first bite, his eyes lit up. He had eaten so many delicious foods, but this was the first time he had tasted it. It was too delicious. The cold skin was wrapped in red oil and crispy cucumber shreds. Eating a bite in this weather made the whole mood cool down. No wonder it was called cold skin, it was indeed very refreshing. He loved the peanuts in it the most, which were fragrant and crispy. He felt that his mouth was filled with this fragrance after eating it.
This meal was the most comfortable one he had eaten in recent days. "You did a good job this time."
The young man rarely spoke up to praise.
Li Si's mood suddenly became excited again, "This is what a little kid should do."
"Let's have this tonight too." After eating the delicious food, the boy didn't want to settle for anything else.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Si was in a dilemma. After all, this wasn't a meal the young lady had made specifically for sale. What if she refused to make it again? If they were in Jizhou, it would be fine. He could just reveal his identity. But on this unfamiliar ship, he had to be careful about everything, for fear of running into his enemy.
"Do you need me to teach you how to make it? Useless guy, just do it yourself. I want to eat this tonight anyway." The young man didn't care about anything else. He looked at Li Si and threatened.
Li Si was really speechless now and could only go down and find a solution himself.
Finally, Li Si thought for a long time and found Su Li, "My dear, are you still going to make that meal tonight?"
"What's wrong? I don't want to cook anymore." Su Li came out of her nap to prepare dinner, and when she saw the man in front of her who had bought her cold noodles, she replied.
Li Si exclaimed, and then told Su Li that his son said it was delicious and wanted to buy more. He took out a tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to Su Li, "My dear lady, I am really sorry to bother you."
Su Li looked embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid we can't make it. The cucumbers we brought today have been used up, and if we start cooking now, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it until very late. If you had come earlier, maybe it would be possible..." Another reason was that there was only one pot, and if you cooked in it, you couldn't cook anything else.
Huh? Li Si was stunned when he heard this. He had originally thought of waiting until the young lady came out to ask, but the young lady never came out. Didn't he expect it to be so late? If he had known earlier, he would have knocked on the door earlier. Li Si was now a little tearful. He didn't buy what the young master wanted to eat, and he would definitely be scolded by the young master when he returned home... It was over...
On this side, Su Li ignored him and started washing rice and cooking. She planned to make potato, bacon, green bean rice tonight. This is also very simple. There are meat and vegetables in one pot, so there is no need to cook separately. It is just right for the evening when the temperature has dropped.
Cut the bacon into pieces, peel the small potatoes and put them in whole, pick the beans, heat the oil and stir-fry them together, add the seasonings when they are fragrant, then pour in the drained rice and spread it evenly, add the rice soup and simmer for about half an hour.
"Fourth sister, there's no need to add more fire. Just wait for it to simmer."
"become."
Su Tao nodded and prepared to go into the house.
Li Si, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly stopped the two of them. "Young lady, can you sell me two servings of dinner tonight?"
This was the best solution he could think of. He just realized that this young lady must have some cooking skills, and the other dishes she made must taste good too.
Su Li stopped and said, "I'm sorry..."
"Please, my lady..." Li Si had a pleading look on his face. He still wanted to stay in the Cheng Mansion. He had a mother at home waiting for him to take care of her.
"Okay." Su Li originally wanted to refuse. After all, judging from what her family ate at noon, her two brothers were big eaters. Now that the family was not short of money, of course they had to make sure their family had enough to eat first. However, the other party looked really pitiful. She had also heard that in those wealthy families, the masters did not treat servants as human beings. If the servants did not do what the masters asked, at best they would lose their jobs, and at worst they might be beaten and scolded by the masters. If her simple action could help the other party, Su Li would still be willing to do it.
"Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady." Li Si was really grateful to Su Li this time.
He knew that such a pretty girl must have a good heart. He quickly stuffed the silver in his hand into Su Li's hand, then turned around and left quickly.
Su Li was stunned when she saw the silver in her hand. She wanted to say that so much was not necessary, but the man had already run away. Just when she put the silver into her purse, Lin Qingqing, who had bought food at noon, came again. She said the same thing as the man, that she wanted to buy more cold noodles. So Su Li repeated the same excuse.
Lin Qingqing said disappointedly, "Ah? So... okay..."
But at this moment, she suddenly smelled a strong aroma in the air, the aroma of bacon! She followed the scent and found the covered pot of food behind Su Li. "Madam Su, what's in that? Why does it smell so good?"
Su Li told the truth.
"Potato, bacon, and beans rice?" Lin Qingqing swallowed her saliva. The name sounded delicious.
She quickly said, "Can you sell me one, no, two?"
Su Li:? I refused without even thinking about it.
I just promised to sell two servings to that person, and if I sell more, it won’t be enough for my family to eat.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing started, "Madam Su, you don't know, my mother just passed away, I live with my stepmother and father, and they don't even give me food..."
Huh? No food for her to eat? Su Li's heart softened immediately, but before she could say anything, Su Tao, who hadn't left yet, spoke up, "Fifth sister, give her a bowl. She's so pitiful. I can eat noodles later."
Su Li also felt that it was really pitiful, so she agreed.
However, as soon as she agreed, the other party impatiently took out a piece of silver, weighing it and finding it was a full two taels...
Seeing Su Li and Su Tao's strange expressions, Lin Qingqing chuckled and explained, "I didn't lie to you. I really lived with my father and stepmother. They really didn't give me food to eat, but my mother was quite rich..."
Okay...
"That's it, Madam Su. I'll go back first and live in that room." After saying that, Lin Qingqing turned around and left, and her steps looked quite cheerful.
…
"Young lady..." Along with the overbearing aroma of food, more people came over.
"No, there's no more..." Su Li saw that someone else came to ask, so she refused immediately. She had already given out four portions, and if it continued like this, it really wouldn't be enough for her family.
After hearing this, the visitor had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
