Chapter 21 Chef Lu shows off his skills!
Lu Xiaoli strolled around with a candied haws, bought a lot of small things, and also bought a lot of wheat husks and some poultry food that the villagers didn't want.
It is similar to the feed used to feed pigs today.
After shopping for a while, I bought some fruits and bacon and went to Aunt Liu's house.
Lu Xiaoli's face doesn't fit this era, and with the charming lavender dress and waist-length hair draped over her shoulders, she's sure to turn heads.
Amidst the mixed gazes of admiration and envy from the crowd, Lu Xiaoli arrived at Aunt Liu's door and knocked gently on it, his voice clear and pleasant: "Aunt, I'm Xiaoli, I'm here."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Liu's enthusiastic response came from inside the door: "Hey, Xiaoli, come in quickly, the food is almost ready!"
Lu Xiaoli smiled, handed the things in his hand to Aunt Liu, and said softly: "Aunt, I brought you something else."
Aunt Liu took it and scolded, "You kid, why are you spending money recklessly again? Come on, come in and have dinner."
At this time, Erni happened to see Lu Xiaoli who had changed her clothes. Her appearance was even more outstanding. She couldn't help but feel jealous. Her face suddenly changed and she stared at her coldly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoli sighed inwardly and decided not to visit frequently unless necessary in the future. After all, she still had some self-knowledge.
But since I have been invited here, I must see it through to the end. Moreover, if there is a need in the future, I will need to come here to purchase.
So Lu Xiaoli didn't bother with Erni and went into the kitchen to help.
In the kitchen, Lu Xiaoli noticed the fish and shrimp placed on the side. He felt puzzled and asked Aunt Liu, "Aunt, don't you eat fish and shrimp here?"
Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed and said, "Are you talking about these red worms? People here don't eat them. And this fish has a strong fishy smell and is hard to swallow."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoli held his forehead helplessly, thinking to himself: "This world may seem ordinary, but in fact, it is full of unusual things. Such delicious ingredients, yet no one is interested in them."
After thinking about it, her eyes lit up and a bold idea came to her mind: "If I could open a grilled fish restaurant and a lobster restaurant in this world, wouldn't I be able to make a lot of money?"
Once this idea was born, it spread rapidly in her mind like wildfire.
While his thoughts were racing, Lu Xiaoli had already volunteered to cook the fish and shrimp himself.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu quickly dissuaded him: "That's unacceptable. How can we let guests cook?"
However, Lu Xiaoli insisted again and again, and said confidently that only she could make these fish and shrimps delicious.
Aunt Liu had no choice but to leave the kitchen and take care of other things.
Looking at the kitchen knives, I fell into silence...
"Oh my god, I actually forgot to buy kitchen supplies"
Lu Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen, wearing a dark blue apron.
Holding a sharp kitchen knife in his hand, he is carefully handling a fresh carp.
The fish meat gleamed with an attractive luster under the light. The scales on both sides of the fish were gently scraped off, and each cut seemed so skillful and precise.
After processing the fish, Lu Xiaoli heated the pan and poured in an appropriate amount of oil.
The oil sizzled in the pan, making a slight "sizzling" sound. He gently placed the fish in the pan, and it was immediately coated in the oil, emitting an enticing aroma.
Pick up the wild onions, fruit wine, ginger, and small pieces of salt prepared nearby, pour them all into the pot, then cover the pot and let the fish slowly stew in the pot.
As time passed, the aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger.
Lu Xiaoli gently lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma of braised fish wafted into his nose.
Pick up a spoon and gently pour the soup over the fish. The brightly colored and fragrant braised fish is ready.
Next to the braised fish, Lu Xiaoli also prepared a large plate of spicy crayfish.
First clean the crayfish, cut off the shrimp whiskers and shrimp legs, and then scrub the shrimp body clean with a brush.
After processing the crayfish, start preparing the spicy sauce.
Small salt blocks, peppercorns, chili peppers, ginger, and wild onions are put into the bowl one by one, and then an appropriate amount of fruit wine is poured in and stirred evenly with chopsticks.
The spicy aroma immediately filled the entire kitchen, making people want to taste it right away.
Lu Xiaoli put the crayfish into the pot, poured in the prepared spicy sauce, and then covered the pot.
The crayfish in the pot rolls in the spicy sauce, making a gurgling sound.
As time goes by, the spicy aroma becomes stronger and stronger, and the color of the crayfish becomes bright red and attractive.
Finally, Lu Xiaoli opened the lid of the pot, and a plate of brightly colored and fragrant spicy crayfish appeared before him.
Gently pick up a crayfish to taste it, the spicy taste immediately explodes in your mouth, making you want to try another one.
After tasting it, Lu Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, my cooking skills have improved again.
Even though the ingredients are limited, with no soy sauce or cooking wine, the taste is still so delicious.”
After saying that, she took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen, shouting, "Aunt Liu, it's time to eat!" However, all she got in response was silence. "Huh? Where's she?" Lu Xiaoli muttered in confusion.
"Xiao Li, I'm here!" Aunt Liu's voice came from outside the door.
Lu Xiaoli followed the sound and saw a handsome and elegant man standing outside the door. He was the rich man who bought ginseng.
Mo Liyuan raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Lu Xiaoli who had changed her clothes and secretly admired her in his heart: "Little thing, I meet you again. The woman with a faint fragrance looks even more beautiful in new clothes."
Erni, feeling indignant upon seeing this, interrupted the staring match between the two and said, "Thank you, Brother Liyuan, for coming all the way here to bring me something."
Mo Liyuan smiled faintly and replied distantly, "You're welcome. Aunt Liu asked me to bring you here. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Aunt Liu hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Liyuan, you haven't eaten yet, right? We have guests at home today, come and have something to eat!"
Mo Liyuan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Lu Xiaoli and he nodded involuntarily: "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
