Chapter 202 (1/2)
Su wennuan said with a smile, ”that's true.” then he stared again and said to Duan Tingxuan, ”who told you to tell the truth? I know I don't like listening.”
”Yes, I'm a quick talker.” Duan Tingxuan smiled and apologized. The look of husband Gang's depression made the two little girls waiting at the door with a washbasin secretly laugh.
After washing, he came to the kitchen and saw that all kinds of ingredients had been prepared according to her orders last night. So Su wennuan rolled up his sleeves and made a preserved egg lean meat porridge. This is not an ordinary preserved egg meat porridge. The steps are very cumbersome. It hasn't been cooked yet. The aroma has floated all over the kitchen, which has attracted everyone's praise.
Suddenly, I heard a smile at the door and said, ”I smell the fragrance before I get to the door. What is Mrs. Wang doing?”
Everyone was surprised. Unexpectedly, Lu Fengyu would come to the kitchen in person. This is the first time for the first time. Because they knelt down to see each other, Su wennuan did not lift his head. In the steaming heat, he replied, ”it's preserved egg and lean meat porridge. It's not the kind of fool in ordinary restaurants and inns. I'm really the way to cook this porridge. It's the same. It takes a long time. Sir, wait a little longer. Don't deduct my salary for this reason.”
Lu Fengyu said with a smile, ”it's natural. As the saying goes, good food is not afraid of late. I can afford to wait. I can afford to wait.” then he came to Duan Tingxuan, looked at the pot of eggs cooked in the water, and muttered, ”is this tea egg? The secret of Anle building, tea egg?”
Su wennuan said with a smile, ”it's ridiculous. Although the tea egg was invented by Mrs. Shizi, it's actually very simple. What secret method can we talk about? As long as we master the two most important things, one heat and one material, it must be fragrant.”
Lu Fengyu said with a smile, ”it's just that you don't master this well. Fortunately, you're smart and have done it in that restaurant. Otherwise, where can ordinary people guess all the materials?”
While talking, Lu Fengyu was only happy to see Su wennuan busy. When the lean porridge was ready, he couldn't wait to be filled and sent to the dining room. He saw Su wennuan take out a piece of paper from his arms and hand it over. He smiled and said, ”this is a snack made by the slave and maid according to the master's taste. Save it for Jinling. The master will see what else can be added or reduced? If not, I'll prepare it according to this. It's only one day today. It's really tight.”
”OK, OK, let me see.” Lu Fengyu went outside the door and read the dozens of snacks, dried fruits and preserves written on the paper. He even said, ”just prepare according to this, one day. It's not easy to prepare all these. Fortunately, you don't have the ability to change others.”
After that, he handed the list to Duan Tingxuan and looked up. Su wennuan's beautiful figure was still busy at the stove. Thinking of the delicious barbecue handed over by her slender hand last night, the guy who had never been close to women felt a little moved in his heart.
”Sir, I don't know how long we will stay in Jinling. If the time is long, we must prepare more preserved fruits.”
Duan Tingxuan's words pulled Lu Fengyu back. Looking at the clever guy in front of him again, he was a little jealous. He was a coward with no amazing appearance. Why could he have such a skilled woman? It's a pity that a clever woman often sleeps with her humble husband. It's a pity. I think Lu Fengyu has both talent and appearance and is as delicious as life. But in the vast sea of people, God can't give me such a lady. Alas! Nature makes people. No better than that.
”Probably more than ten days. We won't live here after we return. We'll go directly to Hangzhou with the ship, but I expect you and your wife have nothing to clean up. Even if there is, we'll send someone back to pick it up.”
Lu Fengyu said absently. He turned and left. He was anxious to taste the preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

”I didn't expect the royal palace to be very efficient. I started so early. I thought it would take noon to start. As a result, it's only half a morning and the fleet has already started.”
On deck. Su wennuan leaned against Duan Tingxuan and looked at the scenery on the shore comfortably. Because Lu Fengyu insisted, the two of them were the only cooks on the dragon boat. Even the king of Xiangyang specially ordered people to change the two rooms at the end of the cabin into kitchens. That is, the king's house had great power. It was ready in less than an hour at the command of the King's house. How could they have such strength if they were looking for rich businessmen and officials?
