Chapter 60: Breaking a Strong Body
Su Wan was surprised. Her first reaction was that the people who blocked the road last night suffered a loss at her hands, so she attacked Fang Wuqiong to make amends?
The next moment, she dispelled this thought.
Those two people were so ruthless that they would not easily fall into her hands.
A person named Qingfeng Jiyue suddenly popped up in Su Wan's mind. Gu Huaizhi came out this morning, and only he and Gu's mother knew that Fang Wuqiong hired someone to deal with her.
She thought of Gu Huaizhi's sick appearance and couldn't help but sneer. This idea was too absurd.
Gu Huaizhi hasn't turned evil yet, how could he be so vicious?
Besides, he doesn't have any manpower!
"This man's methods are too cruel. Fang Wuqiong offended a powerful person." Manager Xu thought of Fang Wuqiong coming to Zuixianglou to mess things up, and couldn't help but sighed, and said with emotion: "People should not be too arrogant."
Su Wan said in her heart: He deserved it.
She guessed that maybe Qi Guang did it?
Qi Guang was grateful to her and wanted to stay to protect her and repay her kindness. He was also her grandfather's man, so he might secretly help her eliminate the trouble.
Su Wan thought that she would have to thank her next time she saw him.
"Sister Su!" Jiang Baiwei held a spatula in his hand, his eyes sparkling, and shouted to Su Wan excitedly: "My cooking skills have improved. Come and try it, and teach me a few more dishes!"
Su Wan was very upset. She was sixteen years old in this body, and Jiang Baiwei was nineteen years old. He took advantage of her.
"I'll go and see." Su Wan followed Jiang Baiwei into the kitchen. A strong smell of burnt food came to her nose. She saw a plate of sliced crispy duck on the long table. The color was golden and looked delicious.
Jiang Baiwei handed over a pair of chopsticks like a serval: "You don't like sweet noodle sauce, so I added spicy sauce."
Su Wan smiled, picked up a piece of duck meat, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The skin was crispy and fragrant, the meat was tender and soft, and with a little bit of spicy sauce, the spiciness stimulated the taste buds, and Su Wan couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
"I've made rapid progress." Su Wan's nose was sweating from the spiciness, and her lips were bright red. She took a sip of water, and a layer of water was shining. She smiled and said, "I'll teach you braised pork and Taihu whitebait later."
Jiang Baiwei stared at Su Wan's lips, and came back to his senses in a daze. His ears were red, and his eyes glanced around, not daring to look at her. He stuttered and said, "Then, then I'll go prepare the ingredients."
Su Wan saw that he jumped faster than a rabbit and felt puzzled.
Jiang Baiwei asked someone to get whitebait and invited Su Wan over eagerly.
Su Wan saw a dozen whitebait in the basin, shaped like jade hairpins, ivory-colored, tender and transparent.
"This silverfish can be stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed, or made into soup." Su Wan prepared the ingredients, an egg, fresh mushrooms, fresh silverfish, coriander, and ginger, and smiled at Jiang Baiwei, "Today I will teach you how to make silverfish soup."
Jiang Baiwei nodded like pounding garlic: "I'll help you."
Su Wan asked him to watch, and removed the stems of the mushrooms and shredded them, shredded the ginger, chopped the coriander, and removed the egg yolks and kept the egg whites.
Pour clean water into the pot, add a small spoonful of salt and a few drops of lard, blanch the mushrooms and take them out for later use. Scrub the pot clean, heat the pot with cold oil, add the shredded ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the cleaned silverfish, add a little rice wine and stir well.
"Let's add a little water and then add pork bone soup, which will make it more fresh." Su Wan poured the mushrooms in, added the seasonings neatly, stirred and boiled, and added a little starch to make a thin sauce. "Finally, pour in the egg white, stir with a spoon and cook, drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil, and sprinkle with chopped coriander."
Su Wan served the silverfish soup in a white porcelain bowl, which was as white as snow and decorated with green chopped coriander, looking fresh and delicious.
Jiang Baiwei took a spoon and scooped a spoonful. Before he took a bite, he smelled fresh and fragrant. After he took a bite, it was soft and delicate, not fishy at all, and especially fragrant and tender.
Before he could say anything, Xu, the shopkeeper, came in with a purse in his hand. Jiang Baiwei didn't care about the heat and fled to the backyard with a bowl of silverfish soup to eat alone.
Xu, the shopkeeper, glared at him, and his beard stood up in anger, but thinking about the things in his hands, he didn't pick up a feather duster to chase him.
"Madam Gu, a tall and strong man with an injured right leg gave it to you." Shopkeeper Xu stuffed the purse into Su Wan's hand.
Su Wan was startled and asked, "Where is he?"
Shopkeeper Xu: "He's gone."
Su Wan told him, "Let Jiang Baiwei practice this dish. I'll come back to investigate." After that, she hurried to chase Qi Guang.
She asked people along the way and found the dock in the town.
Su Wan watched a group of people carrying two sacks on their shoulders at a time and carrying them onto the boat in a fierce manner.
Qi Guang was at the back, also carrying two sacks on his shoulders, and walked very slowly.
The people who came out wanted to help, but were all stopped by Qi Guang.
Su Wan clenched the purse in her hand and watched them sweat profusely, their dark skin was sunburned red. She saw someone selling sour plum soup next to her, smacked her lips, picked up a piece of clothes to wipe the sweat on her forehead, squatted by the river and drank water, she felt very uncomfortable.
Qi Guang noticed something and looked over. He saw Su Wan in the distance. Such a rough man was so scared that he trembled and threw the sack on his shoulder. It seemed that he would dive into the river in the next moment.
When the others saw it, their pupils tightened and they lined up in an orderly manner and stood in military posture.
Su Wan: "..."
After Qi Guang panicked, he calmed down and shouted at the top of his voice: "We are training."
The boss shouted angrily: "What are you training? Go and move the sacks. If you delay this shipload of goods, your wages will be deducted!"
Qi Guang's face flushed red, and he wanted to have the courage to throw down the sack and say: I quit!
But seeing Su Wan's frail body, her fluttering cloth skirt, and not even a decent hairpin on her head, he gritted his teeth and turned around to continue carrying the sack.
A group of iron-blooded men, whose backs were broken and whose self-esteem was crushed under their feet.
They were reluctant to drink even a bowl of sour plum soup, saving money for her.
Su Wan felt sour in her heart that she bought two large buckets of sour plum soup and waited for them to come out of the boat.
