Chapter 22 The Shangsun Mansion Encounters Lucky Fortune
Chapter 22: Going to Sun Mansion, encountering fortune
After Su Jinxiu returned home, she killed a wild duck.
Boil water to remove hair, wash and chop into small pieces.
Heat the oil in the pan, bring it to a boil, and add the spices and chilies.
Before serving, put the wild bayberry she picked from the mountain, and a spicy and sour bayberry duck is ready.
She asked the whole family to sit down and gave Li Zhaodi and Su Shangwu a duck leg each.
"I have to go to the Sun Mansion to do some work tomorrow, mother, don't go out with Shang Wu.
If the second and third bedrooms come to make trouble, you go to Aunt Hu for help."
Su Shangwu took a bite of the duck leg. The duck meat was firm.
It's sour and spicy, very appetizing.
A duck only has two legs, and there are none in Su Shangwen's bowl next to it.
Su Shangwu quickly gave him the duck leg he had eaten and greeted him warmly.
"Brother, I have never eaten such delicious wild duck. Try it."
Su Shangwen didn't appreciate it and frowned.
"I don't……"
Su Shangwu didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The sour and spicy taste instantly stopped Su Shangwen.
He was convinced with his mouth but not with his heart.
When Li Zhaodi heard that Su Jinxiu was going to the Sun Mansion, her face was full of sorrow.
"Jinxiu! I heard someone said that Mrs. Sun's eldest son is the governor.
If you don't do well, will you be punished?"
Su Jinxiu smiled and asked Li Zhaodi to put her heart at ease.
"Mom, don't worry about my cooking skills!"
Li Zhaodi took a bite of the duck leg, and all her worries disappeared.
Her Jinxiu family used to be a young lady from the Hou family, and she even ate the royal meals.
The dishes made will definitely satisfy Mrs. Sun.
The scent of bayberry duck is really alluring, and even the second room can smell it clearly.
Su Shuanzi looked at the scrambled eggs on the table and howled at the top of his lungs.
"Mom, my eldest brother is eating wild duck. I want to eat it too. It tastes so good."
Su Afang became extremely angry when she thought that the wild duck was taken away from her.
He was reluctant to touch Su Shuanzi and looked at Su Dafu, who was silent next to him and was only focused on picking up rice, and kicked him.
"There's nothing mom can do about your father being such a loser.
My dear son, we will not eat wild duck.
Once the new house is built, we can move into it."
Humph, she went to see it, and the new house only needed a few tiles.
Su Jinxiu was short-sighted and thought that by snatching two wild ducks, he would take advantage?
She is not stupid, she is waiting to move to a new house!
Su Dafu drooped his eyebrows, got up from the ground, and dusted himself off.
"Half of that house was built when my eldest brother was here, and Jinxiu spent a lot of money to build it."
Su Afang raised her eyebrows and cursed with her hands on her hips.
"It's really unlucky for me to have a coward like you with your elbows turned outward.
I don't care, when we separated.
Dafang said personally that he would give us that house.
What a stupid thing, don't let me hear you talking nonsense again.
Just don’t even think about entering my door, get out, and don’t eat the food I cook.”
I didn't file the paperwork at that time, but after I moved in this time, I did.
The noise in the second room was so loud that even the third and third rooms heard it...
————————————
Early the next morning, Su Jinxiu drove the ox cart out of the house.
It was almost Chen time when we arrived at Sun Mansion.
Manager Chen had obviously explained that the concierge asked Su Jinxiu's name and took her in directly.
Sun Mansion is very grand, with pavilions, rockeries and flowing water.
Compared with the mansions of dignitaries in the capital, it is no less generous.
After walking for a while, I arrived at the back kitchen, where the concierge handed me over to the cook.
"Fifth Aunt, this is the young lady who is here to make food for the old lady.
Manager Chen said that he would give her whatever she wanted.
Watch carefully and don't let her run around."
The cook is a tall, round-waisted aunt who looks very neat.
"Young lady, please get familiar with it first. If you need anything, just tell me."
Su Jinxiu put down the things in her hands, walked to the stove and started working.
"Fifth Aunt, at first glance, you look like a senior figure in the house.
I rely on you to take care of me. What are your eating habits?"
The fifth aunt talked to Su Jinxiu, and Su Jinxiu remembered it in her heart.
It looked like it was still early, so I ordered a pot of fish balls first.
After it's cooked, pick up a bowl and hand it to Aunt Wu.
"I'll be busy later, so Aunt Five will take care of her stomach first."
Fifth Aunt glanced at the fish balls and grinned.
"The fish balls that Manager Chen brought back like a treasure were made by you?
I ate it once, but I thought about it for a long time."
After taking a bite, she narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
"It just tastes like this. If you ask me, the fish balls from Jixiang Restaurant are a bit boring."
As cooks, their tongues are more sensitive than ordinary people.
Even with just a slight difference in heat, you can still taste the difference.
After eating a bowl of fish balls, Fifth Aunt looked at Su Jinxiu and became more pleased with her.
"If you can please the old lady today, you can come here more often in the future."
The implication is that Su Jinxiu should work harder.
Su Jinxiu smiled and nodded, got up and started working.
Cut, carve, plate.
Care is evident in every detail.
You have to be careful when frying, deep-frying, boiling, stewing, and stewing, and you won't be able to do it even if you miss the heat.
While watching the fire, she vaguely heard someone talking outside the window.
I couldn't help but glance sideways. Outside the window was the backyard, where dry firewood was piled.
A young man in white clothes in a wheelchair was leaning over, holding a bowl and coaxing a cat.
"Eat something, otherwise you will be hungry."
The voice is clear and clear, like pearls falling on a jade plate.
However, what attracted Su Jinxiu was the cat he fed.
Isn't that her way to attract wealth? Why did she end up here?
The fifth aunt saw that Su Jinxiu was fascinated and kindly gave her a few words.
"That's the cousin who went to the old lady, and he's quite talented.
It's a pity that he is a lonely star.
Everyone in his family was killed, and he himself became paralyzed.
The master saw that he had some talent, so he kept him at home to teach the young master.
After he came, the young masters were injured every three days.
When the old lady celebrates her birthday, the master will drive her away!"
The implication is that Su Jinxiu should not worry about it.
Su Jinxiu knew she had been misunderstood, so she didn't say much.
Her family wanted to make money and refused to eat that meal, meowing enthusiastically.
"Meow meow meow, it all stinks."
After a while, the food was cooked.
A message came from the front, saying that the old lady was up and wanted to eat now.
The fifth aunt quickly took the maids to carry out the dishes. According to the rules of the house, Su Jinxiu could not follow.
She took a breath and looked up.
The young man in white has left, and Zhaocai is basking in the sun on the firewood pile.
She filled two bowls of rice with fish soup, placed them on the firewood pile, and touched Lucky's head.
"Why are you here? Obediently finish your meal and wait for me here.
When you're done, I'll take you back."
Zhaocai was very satisfied with the meal and wolfed it down.
Su Jinxiu was actively petting the cat when she heard Manager Chen calling her outside.
"Miss Su?"
Su Jinxiu responded and hurried back to the kitchen.
As soon as she left, the young man in white came back with a bowl.
He looked at the kitten happily eating on the firewood pile and pushed the wheelchair forward.
"No wonder you don't want to eat my food. It turns out there is something better.
That's right, my rice is all rancid..."
The cat is very humane. After finishing his bowl, he lay down lazily and licked his paws.
Looking at the young man in white, he meowed.
The young man in white showed a gentle smile: "You said, give it to me?"
Su Jinxiu: “One is lying down and the other is in a wheelchair...
So, I don’t deserve to be a person with sound limbs?”
Xiao Jingze: "..."
The young man in white: "..."
Cat: "I said, let me have my next meal. Why are you still competing with the cat for food?"
