C47 (2/2)
Su Zhi smiled and kindly said, ”Since Brother Li has no intention of hiding anything from me, then I won't beat around the bush. My surname is Su, and my name is Zhi.”
”This name is very good. Li Ting Lan of the shore, would like to stay high and clean.”
”Thank you, Big Brother Li, for your praise.”
After a moment of silence, Su Zhi could not help but ask again, ”Since Brother Li can't sell this shop, why aren't you taking care of it properly? I think this shop is really dirty. Even if the price is cheap, it still won't be able to attract customers. ”
Hearing that, Li Yi said righteously, ”A gentleman should be far from the kitchen! I am just a scholar, how could I take care of all this? I can look for the waiter after I earn some money in the future. ”
”But where are you going to make money now?”
Li Yi said indifferently, ”There will always be guests who come to visit.”
Su Zhi put down her utensils and sat upright. ”Husband, why can't you sweep the world with a single room?”
Li Yi abruptly raised his head when he heard this, then stared at Su Zhi. ”Alright!” [How can I sweep the world if I don't sweep the house!] Has my wife ever read the Book of Saints? ”
She shook her head and said, ”I only know a few words. I just understand some principles.”
Hearing this, Li Yi no longer said anything. He actually obediently went into the kitchen to clean up after his meal.
The sound of clinking came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of several porcelain bowls shattering on the floor.
After about four to six hours, when Little Dou Bao called for water, Su Zhi went back downstairs to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water.
When he entered the kitchen, he saw that the place where the marinade was originally messy had already been scrubbed clean. The tableware had been cleaned and placed in the cupboard. The mildewed rice noodles had also been cleaned and thrown away.
”A child is worth teaching.” Su Zhi couldn't help but laugh, feeling mischievous about her little thoughts.
It was because she couldn't find a good place to stay that she had to stay in this inn for a few days. She couldn't stand the miasma of the kitchen.
Su boiled some hot water to cool it down before sending it back to the room. Then, she turned around and went down, preparing to make some good food for the children while the Elementary Scholars were gone.
One tael of silver and three dishes for four people to eat. I don't think A Jin is full yet. She just doesn't want to talk about it.
The sound of the books being read had long been inaudible. It was probably because he was too tired from his work and had no idea where he was resting.
Su Zhi closed the door and windows, took out a piece of beef jerky from the storage room, and pickled it with sesame oil and garlic. Then he took a few eggs and steamed them in a bowl. When it was almost done, he cut off a small piece of beef and stir-fried it with salad oil. Then, he added soy sauce to add some fresh meat.
After the eggs were steamed, he put the beef mince that had just left the wok on the surface. A hibiscus egg was quickly cooked.
She carried the steamed egg upstairs and asked the two children to share. She then went downstairs to continue thinking about the dinner.
Elementary Scholar Li was still nowhere to be seen, so no one dared to make a tomato, beef, and asparagus prawns before Su Zhi could do anything. After cutting them into pieces and cooking them with sweet potato powder, they fried them together with the cured meat.
”What is that thing that smells so good?”
Suddenly, a loud shout startled Su Zhi.
When Elementary Scholar Li smelled the scent of food as he barged into the kitchen and saw the three dishes on the stove, his mouth started watering.
”This dish...” It's not full of joy, right? ”
Su Zhi nodded and said, ”I made the vegetables I bought at the market just now. I can't afford to keep eating from restaurants.”
Li Yi stared at her with his two bright eyes, full of worship. He took the chopsticks to taste the flavor and admired her from the bottom of his heart.
”Little Su!” Save me! ”
He grabbed Su Zhi's arm as if he was holding onto his life.
Su Zhi raised her eyebrows and squeezed out a smile, trying to ask, ”Brother Li couldn't be thinking of keeping me at Flower Mansion as a chef, right?”
