Chapter 233 The Taste of Sophora japonica
Nanzhi went out the door and went around to the back of the old house.

This old house may be old, but the advantage is that it is still original.

Just walking around Nanzhi, I saw several kinds of edible wild vegetables.

She felt quite regretful and thought that she had lost money on the things she bought at the market.

Fortunately, it was Lu Shixu who suffered the loss, not her.

The wild vegetables in the field would be saved for later consumption, so Nanzhi picked two handfuls of wild onions.

There has been plenty of rain recently, and the wild onions have been washed clean and green by the rain, becoming tender and juicy, as if you could squeeze the juice out of them with a little effort.

It can be imagined that such wild onions do not need too much seasoning. Mixing them with egg liquid and spreading them into a thin omelet is enough to make them extremely delicious.

She put the wild onions into the small bamboo basket given to her by her students and returned home briskly.

As soon as she entered the door, Nanzhi keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Outside the house is bright and sunny, full of vitality.

The house was covered in ice and snow, and everything was frozen.

She was only away for a few minutes, why did the atmosphere take such a sudden turn for the worse?

Nanzhi looked at Lu Shixu and Fu Chao silently, looking back and forth at their faces.

Lu Shixu acted as if nothing had happened, pointed at the basket and asked Nanzhi calmly:

“Does this dish need to be washed?”

“…This is wild onion.”

Nanzhi was very disappointed with Lu Shixu's lack of everyday knowledge.

Lu Shixu took the basket naturally without any explanation, took out the wild onions, and carefully washed each leaf clean.

Nanzhi saw it and boasted:
"well done."

Lu Shixu curled the corners of his mouth, his joy visible to the naked eye.

Fu Chao's glares were gleaming.

Nanzhi frowned at him:
"You crushed the locust flower."

The flowers that Nanzhi bought at the market bloom in season and are also called locust flowers. They have a sweet and elegant scent.

All the locust flowers were picked from the trees this morning. They were clusters of milky white and looked as fresh and tender as jade. However, after Fu Chao's rough washing, the petals became wilted.

Fu Chao lowered his head hastily, sweating from nervousness:
"Hug...sorry!"

Nanzhi did not pursue the matter:

"Forget it, there aren't many damaged items. Just pick these out and throw them away."

When she is picky, she always has very high requirements for ingredients.

However, after this incident, Nanzhi no longer asked about the issues between Lu Shixu and Fu Chao.

This made Fu Chao feel relieved.

How could he not notice that Nanzhi had been secretly observing him and Lu Shixu since she entered the door, probably because she noticed that something was wrong between them.

If Nanzhi really asked, Fu Chao really didn't know whether to hide it or tell the truth.

The former was somewhat difficult for him.

Out of some strange intuition, Fu Chao always didn't want to deceive Nanzhi.

However, Fu Chao didn't know that Nanzhi also noticed his subtle behavior.

She shook her head secretly, finding it funny.

Since she didn't want to be discovered, she would just pretend she didn't know.

Anyway, it didn't come to her attention.

She gathered her thoughts and focused on the freshly washed Chinese toon.

Among the vegetables to be eaten in spring, Chinese toon is an indispensable one.

The Chinese toon you buy in the city is basically cultivated, only the Chinese toon bought in the market is the real wild Chinese toon, the aroma is much stronger. The cooking process is also very simple, just blanch the Chinese toon until it changes color, wait for it to cool, mix it with water tofu, add a little salt and sesame oil, it is already a top-notch delicacy.

The only difficulty probably lies in blanching. If the heat is over, the Chinese toon will lose its spring freshness, and if the heat is not enough, the Chinese toon will have a bit of astringency.

Needless to say, Nanzhi's craftsmanship is excellent, and he can complete the work quickly and well.

After this cold dish was ready, Nanzhi took out the freshly washed elm seeds and locust flowers.

Similarly, there is no need for a complicated cooking procedure. You just need to wash them clean, sprinkle them with dry flour and mix well, then steam them in a pot. When they are cooked, mix them with garlic juice made with salt and sesame oil. This is the most refreshing delicacy on the spring table.

Nanzhi saw that the locust flowers were of good quality, so she bought enough. She has steamed a small portion of them and has most of them left.

She wanted to enrich the variety on the table, so she made two dishes using locust flowers.

One dish is to fry locust flowers, use them as a topping, and mix them with hand-rolled noodles to make locust flower noodles.

Another dish is to mix locust flowers with minced meat and eggs to make the filling, which is then used to make locust flower buns.

After all the locust flowers were consumed, while waiting for the steamed buns, Nanzhi quickly used the freshly washed wild onions and a few eggs to make an omelet.

As for the remaining wild vegetables, Nanzhi simply stir-fried them and seasoned them only with salt to highlight the unique aroma and taste of the wild vegetables themselves.

Finally, the hand-rolled noodles came out of the pot, and Nanzhi poured the locust flower topping on them:
"The meal is ready, call Yi Yi to eat."

She turned around with the bowl of noodles in her hand and then paused.

Where do you need to call?

It turned out that Nan Yi had been attracted by the aroma of the food and woke up without knowing when.

At this time, including him, Lu Shixu, Fu Chao and Qing Xi were standing in a row.

Since it was an open kitchen, they just defaulted to standing outside the kitchen area.

He moved cautiously and carefully, not daring to step into the sacred territory of Nanzhi. He just watched Nanzhi's smooth and artistic movements in silence.

It’s not that they don’t want to help, but they find that Nanzhi doesn’t need them at all.

Joining rashly would only cause trouble for Nanzhi.

When Nanzhi said "the meal is ready", everyone woke up as if from a dream and started to move.

Nan Yi and Qing Xi are the youngest, and they don't feel any psychological pressure to act coquettishly towards Nan Zhi.

Besides, during their time at the Nan Family Restaurant, they were used to doing this, so -

Nan Yi: "Mom, let me do it, be careful not to burn your hands!"

Qingxi: "Aunt Zhizhi, I'm still here! I can help you!"

The two lackeys surrounded him flatteringly, not giving Nanzhi any chance to take action.

Compared to them, Lu Shixu and Fu Chao are much more reserved.

Lu Shixu picked up the two bowls of noodles silently.

Seeing this, Fu Chao didn't want to admit defeat, so he reached out to take the steamer.

"Be careful……"

Before Nanzhi could finish her words, she saw Fu Chao grimacing from the burns and almost jumping up on the spot.

Lu Shixu, who had already arranged the noodle bowls, naturally walked past Fu Chao, took out two clean soft cloths, and picked up the steamer in one breath through the hot rattan handles.

The action was too casual, making Fu Chao, who was accidentally burned, look like a fool.

Fu Chao even felt that when Lu Shixu passed by him, he gave him a deliberately sarcastic look...

provocative!

This is indeed a provocation!

Nanzhi held his forehead with a slight headache and quickly gave Fu Chaoxin instructions, asking him to serve the dishes.

Fu Chao then calmed down and started to act according to Nanzhi's request.

dinner's ready.
