Chapter 79 Chapter 79 “Ah, it’s raining…
"Ah, it's raining!" Just then, Chen suddenly exclaimed, looking out the door. Sure enough, everyone looked outside and saw it actually raining. The downpour, gentle at first, gradually grew heavier, dripping down the green tiles onto the clay jars under the eaves. The sound was crisp and melodious, and it lasted until dawn the next day. This was the most comfortable night the Su family had ever slept. No cold, no soaking quilts, no clay basins scattered around the house to catch rainwater. Just a sound sleep that lasted until dawn.
It turns out that the sound of rain can be so beautiful.
The next day, with the sound of roosters crowing outside the window, Su Li still didn't want to get up. The weather was cool and the temperature was just right. She snuggled in the warm new quilt that smelled of sunshine, feeling extremely happy. For the first time, she actually wanted to continue sleeping.
Sleep for another ten minutes, Su Li told herself, then closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. The sun shone through the window lattice, and the tiny dust particles danced in the sunlight, as if urging the person who was lying in bed to get out.
It was so comfortable. After this sleep, I felt that all my fatigue disappeared and my body was full of strength. Su Li stretched, put on her clothes, opened the window and propped it up with a wooden stick. Su Li liked this window very much. It can be propped up from the top and removed from the bottom. The style is simple and beautiful. My cousin said it also has a nice name called the supporting window. I have to say that the ancients had a really good aesthetic taste, which can be seen from the details.
Su Li's room was facing the yard. At this time, the others had already gotten up. Su Li opened the window and saw a little man hiding under the windowsill. When he saw her open the window, he stood up and said, "Auntie, shame on you! Your butt is getting burnt in the sun!"
It turned out to be Lian Gu. Su Tao was standing next to her, smiling secretly. When she saw Su Li looking at her, she stopped smiling.
"I didn't teach you that!" Then he turned and left.
Su Hong was washing vegetables in the yard. When she heard the noise, she scolded Lian Gu, "Don't talk to your aunt like that."
Seeing this, Lian Gu stood under the windowsill and looked at Su Li, blinking.
"I'm sorry, auntie. I was wrong."
"It's okay, go play." How could Su Li possibly argue with a child, especially since she did get up too late today.
"What time is it, sis?"
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" In the yard, Su Hong asked Su Li who came out.
"It's still early, only 9 o'clock. It's okay for you to sleep a little longer."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Where did grandma and the others go? Why can't I see them?"
"I went to borrow tables and chairs. Aren't we having dinner tomorrow?"
The Su family only has one table, so every time they entertain guests for dinner, they have to borrow one from someone else's house.
Su Li said "oh", and Su Hong suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Fifth Sister left some egg noodles for you in the pot, come and see if they're clumping together."
It was definitely a bit clumpy, but it still tasted very good. Su Li picked up the bowl and slurped it up quickly.
After eating and drinking, start working.
To be honest, Su Li has been much more relaxed recently because of her elder sister. Her elder sister rushes to do almost everything and learns things very quickly. She can cook all the dishes as soon as she learns them. Now she can cook all the meals sold at noon, and Su Li doesn't have to worry about anything.
Su Li also has time to cook new dishes. Today she is going to cook the must-have braised dishes for drinking in modern times. Recently, Su Li's spicy braised pig's trotters have been selling particularly well, and many people have asked if she can sell this dish separately. Now that the house has been built, there are not too many outsiders around, so Su Li can cook braised dishes with confidence.
Because I had bought the marinade ingredients when I made pig's trotters before, I didn't need to buy them specially this time. Su Li cleaned the washed pig ears, pig's trotters and pig intestines, put them into the pot and blanched them, then fried the sugar color, and then added various seasonings and Su Li's secret marinade package and added boiling water to cook. It took about an hour to cook. Vegetarian mushrooms and bamboo shoots are easy to cook, so put them in when they are almost done. It is best to soak them for more than two hours after they are cooked, but if you have time, Su Li thinks soaking them overnight will make them more flavorful.
The braised dishes Su Li made today are not for sale, but for entertaining guests tomorrow. It can be regarded as adding a new dish, so there is no need to rush. Just ignore it after it is done.
"Fourth sister, there's no need to light the fire." Su Li said to Su Tao who was sitting on the bench and lighting the fire.
Su Tao's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Can I eat it now?"
"It hasn't absorbed the flavor yet. Let it soak for a while before eating." Su Li said as she covered the lid.
Hearing that it was not yet edible, Su Li sighed in frustration. God knows how fragrant this aroma was, it was so fragrant that she felt as if she had not eaten breakfast at all, and her mouth was watering.
"Can't you let me try a piece? Just one piece?" Su Tao looked at Su Li pleadingly, hoping that the other party would soften her heart.
However, Su Li only said, "No."
……All right……
At the same time, Ma Laosi and his son who came to deliver furniture and Mrs. Wu from the Chen family who went to borrow tables, chairs and benches unexpectedly met on the road. They greeted each other and rushed to Su's house together. As a result, they smelled this fragrance on the way to Su's house.
"What a nice smell! What smells so good?"
"Yeah, I can smell it from so far away."
"It smells so good..." Ma Er kept sniffing and talking as he did so.
Ma Laosi, who was standing next to him, also looked at Chen curiously and asked, "What delicious food is Wu Ya making now?"
"It seems to be some kind of braised dish." Chen heard her daughter Su Li mention it, but she was not very clear about it. She only knew that it was a new dish to be sold next.
"Lucai?" The name sounded strange. Why was it called this? Ma Laosi was puzzled.
Ma Da and Ma Er were also distracted by the name. Braised vegetables? What kind of dish was that? It sounded quite novel.
When they arrived and saw the pot of black, sticky stew, they were stunned. "Are you sure it's not burnt? Is it edible?!" And this dish was so weird! Pig ears, pig intestines, pig's trotters, and bamboo shoots all cooked together? They weren't even cut up, they were still whole. It was so strange! And the aroma was actually coming from inside?
"Fifth sister, why does this braised dish look so weird?"
"Hey, brother, why did you hit me?"
Ma Er glared at Ma Da next to him.
However, Ma Da didn't even look at Ma Er and said to Su Li, "Don't listen to him, I think he's pretty good."
"Yeah, it looks good." Ma Laosi agreed reluctantly, fearing that Su Li's self-confidence would be hit.
Only Chen knew that this pot of braised food must be delicious. She smiled and said, "You guys will have lunch here later. This is a good opportunity for you to help taste it."
Upon hearing this, the Ma family father and son didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment, and Ma Er even had the urge to go back quickly.
