Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 58 Gaze at that moment

Su Chen understood that businessmen valued profits, and Bai Susu must be eager for this soap project; but Bai Susu also knew Su Chen's dilemma and difficulties.

This means that both sides understand each other's weaknesses and strengths. Together they will benefit, and if they split, they will lose both, and they will return to the same level.

The eyes of the two met each other, and they never moved. Waiting for the other party to let go first, whoever has a weaker momentum is likely to be at a disadvantage in negotiation. This is often said in psychology.

The two were very close, three feet apart, and they could feel each other's breath, staring straight at each other, refusing to show weakness.

It's just that this Bai Susu's appearance is so beautiful, her facial features are exquisite, as if she is ingenious, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is snowy, and her beauty is full of grace and coldness, as well as a kind of white lotus-like holiness.

Similarly, looking at each other at such a close distance, Su Chen's facial features were also deeply imprinted in Bai Susu's mind, so real and vivid.

Someone once said that when a young and beautiful man and woman feel each other in their hearts, if they look at each other closely for a minute, one of them can't help but kiss.

The hormones between men and women are often so strange!

At this time, Su Chen looked at the peerless appearance of the beautiful woman in front of him, and just looked at each other like this. In an instant, it seemed to be eternity, and the colors around the courtyard seemed to have dimmed, and she was compared to her bright and beautiful.

His heart was beating wildly, besides, Su Chen also had an urge to kiss her.

"Why don't you talk?" Peng Qingqing came out of the kitchen again, and found that the two were silent. They looked at each other for a long time without saying a word. She was worried that the two of them would get angry, so she came over and planned to adjust.

"Cough cough!" Su Chen coughed dryly, avoiding his eyes with some guilty conscience, and forced a smile at Qingqing: "It's okay, we are talking about business."

After Bai Susu was interrupted, a layer of redness seemed to appear on her cold and fair cheeks.

The feeling just now...it's really weird.

"Oh, it's fine, everything is ready, Su Chen, Linger said that the hot pot base and dipping sauce need to be cooked by yourself. Come and do some work!" Peng Qingqing reminded.

"Okay!" Su Chen nodded. If there is no base and dipping sauce to eat hot pot, it is similar to boiled vegetables, and there is no taste.

The more fragrant the hot pot is, the more critical the seasoning and base are.

Su Chen said politely to Bai Susu in front of him, "I'll go and help, cook and cook, let's talk about business after eating."

"Okay, go get busy! Susu can... go to Su Gongzi's study?" Bai Susu asked.

Su Chen thought to himself that there were only some old medical rubbings, a small number of Confucian scriptures, and some simple pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the study, and there was nothing messy or unsightly, and nodded, "Yes, the family is poor, and there is nothing valuable Anything, you can just walk around."

Bai Susu nodded with a smile, while Su Chen turned and walked towards the kitchen.

After seeing him leave, Peng Qingqing asked Bai Susu in a low voice, "Is the business negotiated?"

"It's only halfway through, it's not done yet!" Bai Susu looked at her best friend, her expression was not cold, but with a slight smile, she said softly, "Take me to his study to have a look."

"Okay, this way, let's go over there!" Peng Qingqing took Bai Susu's hand and walked to a room in the west wing, which was Su's study.

Although it is called the study room, it is very simple inside. The valuable belongings in the ancestral house were all pawned off by "Su Chen". There are no dazzling decorations in this room, such as antique jade, calligraphy, painting and carvings, except for an outdated bookshelf. Standing outside the wall, there is only a wooden table and chairs, placed on the side of the room by the window, on which are the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

This is just an ordinary hard-haired bamboo pen, which has lost a lot of hair and has an ugly shape.

The ink is pine smoke ink of poor quality, not Li Tinggui ink, which is currently popular in the Tang Dynasty.

The paper is cheap white hemp paper, not Chengxintang paper, ribbed rice paper, which is favored by scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

Inkstone, it is a broken porcelain bowl!

Seeing such a shabby situation, Bai Susu felt a trace of grief in her heart for some unknown reason.

She walked to the desk and saw some paper with full words on it. The fonts were strong, graceful and clear.

On a stack of paper, there are poems and poems written by Su Chen, and there are also manuscripts of the legendary words of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Bai Susu picked up the paper with words and watched it carefully...

After half an hour, Su Chen prepared the hot pot base and dipping sauce. There was no chili in this era, but there were prickly ash, pepper, star anise, cumin, mustard, sesame oil, etc., and they could be fried together. Prepare a slightly spicy and spicy flavor.

In addition, the dipping ingredients include chopped green onion, minced garlic, sesame paste, Runzhou vinegar, soy sauce, pepper oil, cumin, mustard, etc., all of which are quite complete.

There is no induction cooker, so we can only use a brazier to hold charcoal blocks and place them on the table. There is an iron frame on the brazier, and a copper pot and hot soup stock are set up, which is heated by the charcoal.

Bai Susu, Peng Qingqing, Linger, Su Chen sat around the table, only Xiaotong served and helped with the dishes.

In this era, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior. Xiaotong, a maid, can't go beyond the rules. Even if Su Chen invited her to sit down to eat, she shook her head and refused, insisting that she could eat it only after they finished eating.

Su Chen didn't say any more. Every era has its rules. If he can't change it, he needs to adapt to it.

The side dishes include lamb slices, deer meat, rabbit meat, fish meat slices, pork loin belly, duck blood, duck intestines, spinach, cabbage, bamboo shoots, lotus root slices, freshwater shrimp, oysters…

There are many categories. Originally, Su Chen asked Linger to buy not so many, but after learning that Bai Susu and Peng Qingqing were going to stay for dinner and eat hot pot together, Su Chen asked Linger to buy some dishes.

These slices of meat and vegetables are boiled in the bottom pot soup, exuding a unique fragrance.

Peng Qingqing and Bai Susu's eyes lit up, they had never seen such a fresh way of eating, which made the two girls have strong expectations for this "hot pot" taste.

"The dipping ingredients should be adjusted according to personal taste!" Su Chen made a sample, and used a small spoon to mix some.

After Peng Qingqing saw it, he said to him, "give it to me, and you can make another one yourself!"

"..." Su Chen was speechless, so he could only hand her the dipping sauce he had just prepared, and then said to Bai Susu, "What about you, do you need me to help you adjust it?"

In fact, Bai Susu has already seen Su Chen's adjustment method, it is not tedious, she already knows how much each ingredient is taken, and she can adjust it herself, but, facing his gaze, she nodded unexpectedly and said: " Then thank you, Mr. Su."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He was just polite. He didn't expect that this eldest lady from the Bai family would really know how to insert needles!

"You're welcome!" Su Chen had already said the words, and he couldn't change his words. He took Bai Susu's empty bowl, prepared the dipping sauce at the table and handed it to her, and immediately prepared another bowl for his sister Ling'er. , so that all three women have a share, and no one is biased.

After a while, the hot pot boiled, and the four of them started to move their chopsticks and ate the spicy hot pot.
