Chapter 9: The Village Chief Goose Is Lost
Mrs. Zhou felt that the kitchen was stuffy and she was tired from running back and forth cleaning the ingredients!
So a simple table was built next to the well water, and the washed ingredients were placed in a basin and returned to the kitchen.
"it is done?"
"Here" Su Boya pointed to the sea bowl on the table.
"This?" Mrs. Zhou looked at it and wanted to poke it with her finger, "It looks like it's just mushy!"
Su Boya held Lady Zhou's arm: "Don't touch it yet. It hasn't taken shape yet. It should solidify after a while."
Madam Zhou shook her head. In her opinion, there was nothing eye-catching about it: "How do you want to eat this?"
If the appearance is not good, you can only settle for the second best, and the good taste can make up for it.
"According to different tastes, just add different seasonings and mix well."
Mrs. Zhou nodded. She has been cooking for many years and has the seasonings at her fingertips.
In order to speed up the solidification, Su Boya took the sea bowl to the well water, put the wooden barrel into the well, and then sat in a cool place to wait quietly. Unknowingly, her eyes were half closed and she fell asleep.
"Ya'er." Mrs. Zhou arrived at the yard, "I have mixed the ingredients. Where did the paste you made go?"
Subaya rubbed her face to wake herself up quickly: "Wait a minute."
Then he pulled up the wooden barrel that had fallen under the well water: "It has solidified."
"Let's see." Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, "Is this the paste you made just now? The difference between before and after is so big."
"If it's true, its name is bean jelly."
"Can I poke now?"
Subaya made a gesture of invitation.
"It's soft and bouncy, just like a girl..." Whether there was a girl out of the court or not, Mrs. Zhou stopped at the right time, "Don't mention it, it was inconspicuous just now, but now it's smooth and round, and it's better than the cakes in the shop.
So beautiful!”
Back in the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou cut the jelly into strips according to Su Boya's introduction, then poured the prepared ingredients on top and mixed evenly.
He picked up the chopsticks, put one in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Whether the jelly is delicious depends on the ingredients and the taste of the jelly itself.
The ingredients are prepared by herself as a cook, and they are certainly not bad. The jelly is full of ingredients and has a soft, waxy and refreshing texture.
"The taste is unique and unique," she commented.
"Actually, this jelly can not only be mixed, but can also be cooked or stir-fried, but the heat requirements are very high." Su Boya continued to introduce.
"Yes, the jelly is ready for the banquet." Mrs. Zhou said as she put the jelly and vegetables into a large plate. "I will soon send the food to the upper room. You can stay here for lunch."
"What do you eat for lunch?" Su Boya glanced at the kitchen and saw that all the food had been put on Madam Zhou's plate.
"We usually stir-fry the leftovers, but it doesn't seem to be happening today. Take a look at what's in the kitchen and make some vegetarian food that you like." Mrs. Zhou thought for a while but felt it was inappropriate, "Or you can wait until I come back to make it, anyway.
I also want to be the food for the servants."
Su Boya checked the ingredients and various seasonings in the kitchen, and found that she could make a vegetarian dish, which was not difficult or time-consuming.
After a while, Mrs. Zhou came back with a happy smile.
"Ya'er, the village chief tasted the bean jelly you made and was quite satisfied."
"That's good. I'm really afraid that the village chief won't like it and blame me for wasting ingredients." Su Boya said modestly.
"The village chief also asked me to ask you, are you sure this is the recipe for bean jelly?"
"That's right, I heard it from a salesman by chance." Su Boya was helpless about this. In fact, it would be better to say it was passed down from ancestors, but with Grandma Su's stinginess, it wouldn't work.
"The village chief wants to exchange ten pounds of thin noodles for a recipe of bean jelly, is he willing?"
Subaya thought for a moment: "It's rare that the village chief likes it. I will tell you the specific method later."
In her opinion, bean jelly recipes are not expensive, and she still remembers quite a few...
Mrs. Zhou sniffed, walked to the stove and opened the lid of the pot: "Susanxian? You made this."
"Aunt Zhou, try it."
Mrs. Zhou took a piece with her chopsticks, put it in front of her nose, smelled it, and praised: "It smells good."
Then he put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, and his expression suddenly changed: "Ya'er, have you ever thought about being a cook in the future?"
Subaya put her hands on the table and held her face: "I haven't thought about it yet. I really want to raise geese now. I don't know if I will be a cook in the future."
Madam Zhou faced the stove, her back to Su Boya, and let out a heavy breath.
For some reason, she felt a deep sense of crisis about the future just now.
After lunch, Mrs. Zhou leaned on a chair and took a nap, and Su Boya began to teach her how to make bean jelly.
There are many details and it is not difficult to be specific. Mrs. Zhou accepted it very quickly.
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the yard. Mrs. Zhou liked to watch the excitement: "Go out and see what's going on."
When I got to the yard, I saw a servant carrying firewood holding a big white goose in his hand. People around him were chatting around the big white goose.
Madam Zhou came over and said, "Xiao Liuzi, have you made a fortune? Buy such a big goose."
"How can I make a fortune? I went up the mountain to cut firewood and saw this big stupid goose wandering around. Maybe it was lost in someone's family, so I brought it back."
"Let me have a look." Mrs. Zhou held the goose in her hands, "Why do I think it is the goose that the village chief raised by the weir pond."
After saying this, she immediately remembered the scene when she went to the weir pond and saw the geese scattered!
The village chief soon learned of the incident and sent people to the weir and pond to investigate. Not to mention the goose, not even the goose feathers were found.
So the servants had an extra job, looking for geese.
Su Boya also joined the goose-hunting "army", but she escaped halfway and went to a deserted place and whistled.
Then she found a stone and sat down. After a while, a sparrow-like bird flapped its wings and landed on her shoulder.
"The little bird is amazing!"
"You are a bird." After Wu Yuxian said this, he flapped his wings to indicate his departure.
"No, no, I'm just kidding you, you are an immortal."
"remember."
"Are you really practicing as a sparrow?" Su Boya was curious.
"I have already told you, I am an ancient spiritual beast, how can I be a little sparrow?" The sparrow looks like a fairy, shaking its head when talking about bird songs.
Wu Yuxian's words had always been very vague, and Su Boya also had some guesses about this. Maybe Wu Yixian had been severely injured back then and had turned into a little sparrow now, but she didn't go into details.
Continuing to discuss what to do next, Wu Yuxian circled around Su Boya twice, flapped his wings and flew to the sky again.
When their eyes met, Su Boya keenly discovered that the eyes of the small sparrow, the size of mung beans, actually had double pupils.
