Chapter 81 Doing Business

The news of Su Jin's return with Chu Luo reached Liu's ears. In today's Su family, not to mention that Su Wenshan is not at home often, even if he is at home, Liu's is still in charge.She has also met this Chu Luo several times, knowing that he is a big businessman, and has helped her family several times, so she is very enthusiastic.

Under Su Jin's guidance, Chu Luo entered Su's house, and went all the way to the living room, while Han Yu followed behind carelessly. He was more familiar with Su's house than his own, and no one in Su's family regarded him as an outsider. Too lazy to greet him.

Several apricot and peach trees were planted in the yard, as well as a grape trellis, and a swing was swaying in the wind under the grape trellis.Chu Luo looked at it and thought to himself, such a place and such a scenery are worthy of the beautiful girls of the Su family, but I don't know if I can see the second girl Su just now.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mrs. Liu welcoming her at the door. Chu Luo took a fancy to her daughter, and he was polite in every possible way. Liu Shi has been laughing from ear to ear.Seeing the scene, Han Yu didn't have anything to do with himself, so he pulled Su Jin's sleeve and stood up, "Brother Chu, you can talk to Auntie first, and I will go to the kitchen with Jin'er, the food she cooks is delicious Very soon, I'll let her cook for you herself." After saying that, the two of them came out.

As soon as she came out, Su Jin shook off his hand and glared, "What are you doing? You're chattering, people have to gossip when they see it."

"What nonsense, who doesn't know that you are my wife." Han Yu put his hand on her shoulder again with a smile, and embraced her intimately.

Su Jin was annoyed, and kicked his feet hard, then crushed him vigorously. Seeing that he was in pain, she took his hands away, and went to the kitchen with a snort.She turned around simply, and didn't see Han Yu's hurt look, it wasn't the usual foolishness, and it wasn't the indifference when he was laughing and playing. He smiled wryly, looking at the distant figure, his eyes were full of distress.

Besides, when Su Jin arrived in the kitchen, she saw that Ximei had just washed the dishes, and before she started frying them, she took over and asked the two maids to help her.Seeing Han Yu following slowly, he called him, "Han Zicheng?"

Han Yu listlessly raised his eyelids to look at her, without saying a word, he casually rolled up Yuebai Jin's gown and stuffed it around his waist, found a small bench outside the kitchen and sat down.

"Let me ask you, what kind of food does Mr. Chu like to eat?" Su Jin followed him and continued to ask.

"Meat, he likes to eat meat, any kind of meat." Han Yu paused for a while and then said, "On the contrary, I prefer to eat vegetables."

Su Jin squinted at him, "I know, you still like desserts, just like my father, I'll make you some desserts later." Then she went into the kitchen again and started to work.

Since Chu Luo likes to eat meat, Su Zhen first made a home-cooked pork ribs and lotus root soup. She made these dishes that she often eats easily. For the tofu skin and tofu sent over, simply cut the tofu skin into shreds and put it in the shape of a chrysanthemum. I made a chrysanthemum tofu skin, and I also made fresh meat tofu rolls, spicy tofu, and a cold potato salad. Egg shreds, the staple food made sticky bean buns, and after they were done, I was afraid that Chu Luo would not be used to eating them, so I made sauced meat buns. The sauced meat was made in the kitchen a long time ago. Yesterday, Brother Shuo yelled that he wanted to eat Yes, so I prepared the stuffing earlier, otherwise it would be too late to make it now.

After finishing everything, thinking about what I promised Han Yu just now, I made double-potato glutinous rice balls, each of which is yellow, purple, or pink. The small balls are not only beautiful but also delicious, and they are not difficult to make, so they are the most suitable.

After it was steamed, he brought it out and called Han Yu in. Sure enough, Han Yu liked it very much when he saw it. He squeezed one and threw it in his mouth, praising it all the time.

Su Jin was very agile, and quickly cooked all these dishes by herself, and went back to the living room with Han Yu, saying that dinner was ready.Mrs. Liu was chatting with Chu Luo, and when she saw that it was time to eat, she got up and walked to the dining room. Su Jin followed behind, and when she saw Da He, she ordered, "Go ask Second Sister to come out for dinner."

Chu Luo was very happy to hear that, but she was still a little nervous and excited. Thinking of the girl she met just now, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu talked about Han Chen's affairs with Han Yu, seeing that he didn't know anything about it, she taught him a few words, and only said that she got Su Tang's letter, and that Han Chen entered the palace examination after a while, and won the palace examination No. .10, just wait for the official to be sealed up.

After a while, Dahe came back, and said that the second girl was afraid that she was tired and too lazy to move, so she would not come out to eat, and just asked the kitchen to make some porridge and side dishes to send over.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said anxiously: "You look at the second girl in a bad mood?"

Da He smiled and replied: "No, madam, don't worry, the second girl is just tired, it's fine to let her rest."

Everyone knew that she had always been a safe person, so they were relieved when they saw her say that, and Mrs. Liu quickly ordered the kitchen to cook the porridge and side dishes that the second girl wanted.The most disappointed person here is of course Chu Luo. When he first heard that no one was coming, he felt that the meal was not delicious, and no matter how delicious the meat was, it would lose its taste in his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Su Jin thought that the food was not to his taste, and asked with concern: "Why doesn't Mr. Chu eat it? Is it because the food I cook is not delicious?"

Ruo Chuluo nodded, even Han Yu was unwilling, and Jin'er was not very willing to cook for him. Now that he has been busy cooking a table of dishes for him, if he still hates this and that again, it will be unavoidable. He didn't know what was good or bad, so he purposely looked at Chu Luo with a straight face, "How dare you say it's not delicious?"

Chu Luo came back to his senses, and quickly smiled, "How could it not be delicious? It's very delicious. Miss San doesn't care about me."

Seeing the sincerity of his answer, Su Jin was relieved, thinking that maybe he had other concerns, and it was not easy for an outsider to ask, so she changed the subject and said: "I don't know what Mr. Chu said before to discuss business with me?" What do you mean?"

"When I was in the capital, I received a pack of melon seeds from someone who passed by our side. I tasted it and it tasted good. I remember you said that you want to fry melon seeds, but I was not sure. I asked later. Only people know that it is really you, so the business I want to discuss with you is this, I think the market will be better if I sell melon seeds in the capital." Speaking of business matters, Chu Luo became serious.

Hearing him suddenly mentioning this, Su Jin filled a bowl of lotus root pork ribs soup and drank it while thinking about it, and then raised her head after the bowl of soup was finished, "If you really want to do the melon seeds business, I can fry the fried I will give you the recipe for melon seeds. You can find someone to fry them in large quantities. I want to use this as a share. I bought [-] acres of land in Liushu Village, and there is a hilltop. Sunflowers have been planted in spring. , It will be able to bear seeds by this month, I will use these two things to invest in the stock, and you will be responsible for the delivery, how about we split it fifty-fifty?"

"Okay, I'm a straightforward person, so it's settled." In these few business contacts, what Chu Luo valued the most was Su Jin's straightforward personality. Working with this kind of person doesn't need to play so many tricks. With money, my heart is open.

Seeing that the two of them had concluded a business deal so easily, Liu Shi was also happy, and hurriedly greeted Chu Luo for dinner, and brought him a fresh meat tofu roll. Chu Luo smiled and picked it up to eat, but stopped when he brought it to his mouth ,"this is?"

"This is called fresh meat tofu roll." Su Jin replied when she saw the question, "The skin wrapped with meat is tofu skin."

"Tofu skin?" Chu Luo picked it up with interest and looked left and right, "I've traveled all these years, but I've never seen this kind of thing before." As he spoke, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. , there was surprise on the face, "It's delicious!"

Su Jin pointed to the plate of chrysanthemum tofu skin, "This one is also made of tofu skin, nothing is added in it, it just tastes like the original tofu skin."

Chu Luo tasted it again and was very appreciative, suddenly remembered something, said hurriedly: "This food is so delicious, why don't we pay tribute to the palace?"

Palace?The other three shook their heads, is it so easy to get into this palace?Besides, can such a bean curd skin be favored by the Holy One?Another one accidentally caused a fatal disaster, let's forget it.

Naturally, Chu Luo could guess what they were thinking, so he explained with a smile: "You may not have heard the news here, next month is the Empress Dowager's birthday, our Emperor Wen Qing is the most filial, knowing that the Empress Dowager loves food , people are looking for delicious food everywhere, since this tofu skin is so delicious, why don't we try it, even if we don't make it, it's no big deal, but there are only a few varieties of this tofu skin, and the above requirements must have at least three kinds of food , think again, but there are other delicacies that no one has seen before?"

Su Jin hurriedly said: "This tofu skin is the same. I can also make stinky tofu and frozen tofu. You have never eaten either."

"It couldn't be better, then I will leave two days later. You can do these two things first and I will try it. If it works, I will take it back to Beijing and try it. If we can get into the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Holy One, Give us a plaque of the best tofu in the world, then we will earn some money." Chu Luo is worthy of being a businessman, no matter what he can think of business opportunities.

Hearing this, Liu Shi's eyes also brightened, but she was not only thinking about money, but about her daughter's marriage.If, as Chu Luo said, his family really got into the eyes of those two in the palace, then why should he worry about the marriage of his two daughters?Thinking of this, she became anxious and urged Su Jin to go to the tofu shop to try to make stinky tofu and frozen tofu after eating.

In fact, making frozen tofu is very simple, that is, cut raw tofu into evenly sized pieces, put them in a pot under cold water, put salt on them, take out the tofu after the water boils, put them in cold water to cool, remove and drain , and then freeze it.

Su Jin had long thought about making frozen tofu, but felt that the time had not come yet, but now it was different, since she was entering the palace to apply for election, she naturally had to show her housekeeping skills.
