Chapter 326 Should be two sinners

"How could I know such a thing?" Su Ran shook her head, "Do you know?"

"Actually, I only heard a few words from people." Ziyu said with a smile, "It seems to be more than ten years ago. At that time, I was still young and I hadn't come to serve the old lady! I heard from them that it was suddenly A pair of sisters and brothers appeared. No one knew who they were, let alone what they looked like. Only the old lady and the two maidservants beside the old lady had seen them. It was quiet, and there was no noise even when they lived in the house. If the old lady hadn't arranged for a servant girl to deliver rice and vegetables to them every day, everyone would have thought that there was no one in the yard."

"I remember that there was a well in this yard. The siblings didn't even use the kitchen to prepare meals for them. They fetched water and cooked vegetables for themselves. I heard from the sisters who passed by before that every time it was time to eat At that time, the smell wafting from here was particularly fragrant. They smelled it many times and didn't want to leave. But the old lady has always sent people to guard the surrounding area. Once they find someone approaching, they will come out and drive them away. .And anyone who stays at the gate of this courtyard for too long will disappear in the mansion later."

After a pause, Ziyu said again: "They seemed to have lived in the mansion for half a year, and then disappeared. After that, there was no news about them in the mansion. The yard was locked, and they have not been seen for so many years." No one has ever gone in. The two elder sisters beside the old lady were also married off, and they are the personal maids of the old lady who did not stay in the house to manage affairs. Until now, I have not heard about them for a long time gone."

"Oh, that's it! It seems that there should be two criminals locked here before." Su Ran said quietly.

Ziyu was taken aback. "sinner?"

"From their situation, isn't that the case?" Su Ran looked back at her calmly, "Anyway, every time my children do something wrong, I will lock them up and let them think about their mistakes behind closed doors. Give them a drink. If they don't admit their mistake, I won't let them out."

Facing her shining eyes, Ziyu suddenly felt guilty.She quickly lowered her head. "It should be! I really don't know about this. Because this is a taboo in the house, everyone usually only dares to say a few words in private. I also saw this dilapidated courtyard today, and I suddenly remembered it before telling you. Two sentences. Miss Li, you must help me keep the secret, don't tell others!"

"Okay." Su Ran nodded.

The two immediately skipped this topic and moved on.

After another cup of tea, they finally reached the kitchen.

Now the cooks in the kitchen are busy in full swing.In this huge Luo Mansion, most of the people's three meals a day come from this place, one can imagine how busy the cooks are.

However, seeing Ziyu approaching, the cooks hurriedly put down their work and greeted her.Especially the one in charge of the kitchen, she greeted her very attentively: "Miss Ziyu, why are you here suddenly? If you want to eat anything, just ask a little girl to come over and talk to me. Why do you need me?" Go for a run yourself!"

"It's okay. The old lady has no appetite for the past two days, so I specially invited Mrs. Li to help her cook a few dishes today. I was worried that there was not enough food in the small kitchen, so I brought her here. You continue to work on your work, Just leave a stove hole for us." Ziyu said gently.

"Okay, okay, this is easy!" The kitchen steward nodded quickly, and immediately arranged a spare stove for them, and she also specially allocated a cook to help Su Ran.

While the steward was arranging things, Su Ran had already rolled up his sleeves, bundled up his hair, and took a rough look at the entire kitchen.

With confidence in mind, she picked up a few small baskets and grabbed a handful of all kinds of vegetables and brought them over.

She picked up a big radish that had been washed white, peeled it and cut it into thin strips.Then turn on the stove to boil water, blanch the shredded radish, then remove it and put it in cold water.After draining, chop the shredded radish.Then I picked up a handful of chopped minced meat, added chopped green onion, minced ginger, sugar and other seasonings to it, and then picked up the chopsticks and stirred in one direction until it was strong.Then add the eggs, cornstarch, and flour separately, and continue to mix well.Finally, add the grated radish and minced celery, and continue to stir well.Then, she heated up a dry pan, added half a pan of oil to it, waited for the oil to heat up slowly, and then squeezed a small ball into it.

When the balls were put into the pot, they immediately made a sizzling sound.Su Ran grasped the mixed stuffing with one hand, and gently squeezed the tiger's mouth with his left hand, and a small round ball was formed.The other hand took off the small balls and put them into the oil pan, and immediately another round ball came out in the left hand.In this way, with one hand squeezed into the other, a small pot of radish and minced meat turned into small balls tumbling in the oil pan in a short time.

Her skillful posture immediately impressed the people in the kitchen.At first, seeing a young daughter-in-law like her come in, she set up a stove by herself, saying she was going to cook for the old lady?Many experienced cooks in the kitchen were very dissatisfied.However, when I saw Su Ran's hands and feet shredded neatly, the knife clanged down, and shredded radishes with the thickness of silk threads piled up on the chopping board to form hills.Even in thickness, each one is almost exactly the same, which is amazing to see.

Later, she squeezed the balls, and her gestures were also very beautiful.I saw the slender five fingers clenched tightly, and round and fat little balls emerged from between the fingers one after another.Dotted with small green balls, against her pale skin, it is really pleasing to the eye.With her other hand, with two fingers, she took off the meatballs lightly, and the fingertips lightly dropped, and the meatballs rolled into the oil pan.

With neat skills and good-looking posture, even in the kitchen, this scene still became a beautiful scenery in the kitchen.

Just because of these abilities she showed, these people's rejection of her has been reduced by half.

The meatballs were fried in the pan for only ten or twenty breaths, and then they were quickly scooped up and put aside with a strainer to drain the oil.The deep-fried meatballs are golden, with some blue color in the middle. The appearance alone is enough to make people drool.

Su Ran also picked up a small handful of the mushrooms and mushrooms that he had caught, and added a few leaves of green vegetables to stir-fry assorted fresh vegetables.

Seeing freshly peeled shrimp in the kitchen, she also grabbed some and fried them with black fungus and yam.I also stewed a winter melon and corn soup, and made a few pumpkin egg pancakes.

Finally, she steamed several bowls of egg custard in a small agate bowl.After the egg custard was steamed, she didn't take it away directly. Instead, she grabbed a handful of fresh peas, fried them in the pan, and then used the remaining oil to fry a small handful of flour until it was fragrant.Ask the chef to break the cooked peas into fine powder, mix them with broth and flour and mix well.Pour back into the pot and bring to a boil, adding salt to taste.When it's done, scoop up the pot of tender green pea paste and pour it on the egg custard.

In the crystal clear agate bowl, there is a layer of tender yellow custard underneath, but a layer of tender green pea paste floating on top.The combination of the two colors is very good-looking, and it makes people feel better instantly, and their appetite is unknowingly opened.

Not only the people in the kitchen couldn't take their eyes off the finished product, but even Mrs. Luo was full of praise when it was brought to her.

"This bowl of dishes is so beautiful. It's hard to understand how you, a child, thought of it. Why don't my cooks have such thoughts!"

"Actually, I was forced to do this. There are two children in my family who are tired of eating custard every day and refuse to eat it. I can't coax them. I can only work hard on the appearance and make things fun and beautiful. They seem to be interested, so they can eat a few more bites." Su Ran said with a smile.

Huang also nodded quickly. "Isn't it? Look at Brother Zhuang and the others. They have never missed eggs and meat since they were young. They are so tired of eating at such a young age. It's not like us. Some food is good. Who cares? I don't care if it looks good or not!"

"That's the way it is. However, the custard has been added with a little something by Sister Ran's skillful hands, which really makes people more appetizing. There are also other dishes on the table. They look simple, but they really test their skills. It's just this ordinary home-cooked dish, if you can cook it well, that's really good cooking, I'm lucky today!" Mrs. Luo said cheerfully.

She and Huang's sister and sister called each other, and of course she took the initiative to change her name to Su Ran.

"Old Madam, if you like it, I have a few more recipes here. I will write them down and hand them over to you. You can slowly ask people to cook them. In fact, it's just a trick, and the cooks will make it as soon as they see it." Su Ran said quietly.

"Really? That's great!" Mrs. Luo was overjoyed when she heard that. "However, Sister Ran, you'd better keep a few more complicated menus. It's best if you have mutton and pork. When guests come in the future, I can show them off!"

"No." Su Ran shook her head immediately.

"No?" Mrs. Luo looked at her in disbelief.
