Chapter 161 Rebuilding Baihua Village School
Su Xiaoxiao started killing the big carp while it was still alive, and then took out all the unique secret peppers. These peppers were the key to Su Xiaoxiao's success in making this dish.
Then Su Xiaoxiao cut the fish into pieces, put them in the oil pan and started frying.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that in order to make this dish a success, the spicy and fragrant taste must be maximized, and the chili pepper would play an important role.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the chef next to him was still busy, and thought that the chef was showing off his knife skills, as if he was preparing to carve a flower on the fish.
How to say it?
Su Xiaoxiao felt that since he wanted to show his knife skills so vividly, he must be very powerful. In fact, he was not just trying to show off his knife skills, but more importantly, he wanted to bring out the taste of the food in full. It is quite critical and important to be able to bring it into play.
After Su Xiaoxiao fried the fish, she put some seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic into the pot. After frying, the aroma of some seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic was left in the pot.
She then sauteed the chili peppers until they were fragrant, and then added broth to cook them.
After the fried fish was cooked in the delicious broth, Su Xiaoxiao sprinkled new soy sauce and thirteen incense on top. After these were done, the aroma of the boiled fish came out.
Finally, Su Xiaoxiao poured red pepper and hot oil on the boiled fish. At this time, the boiled fish was completed.
The chef over there had just finished simmering the West Lake Vinegar Fish when the chef from Fumanlou curled his lips and said, "We're not competing to see who can cook it faster. Can it be delicious if it's cooked so quickly?"
The chef at Fumanlou was adding vinegar to the pot at this time. The West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce had a little too much vinegar, but it was only in order to cater to Prince Gong’s taste.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the boiled fish in front of Prince Gong, "Your Majesty, would you like to taste the fish I made with new soy sauce?"
When Prince Gong saw it, he quickly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The taste of the boiled fish was simply unparalleled. It was much more delicious than the West Lake vinegar fish that Prince Gong had eaten before.
So when the chef at Fumanlou cooked West Lake vinegar fish, Prince Gong was almost full when he ate Su Xiaoxiao's boiled fish.
He had no stomach to eat anymore, so he had to wave his hand and said to the chef of Fumanlou: "I'm almost full."
Such a strong taste is stronger than that of West Lake Vinegar Fish, and it seems to make Prince Gong feel so delicious that he can't stop taking off his chopsticks.
In the end, Prince Gong didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao could make such delicious food with minimal seasonings, and these foods all relied on the soy sauce.
At this point, what else can Prince Gong say?
He gave a thumbs up to Su Xiaoxiao, "This soy sauce is really good. It's refreshing to be able to bring out the flavors of this dish right away."
Since then, Prince Gong’s favorite fish dish has changed from West Lake vinegar fish to boiled fish, and it has become an instant hit in the capital.
Prince Gong's admiration for Su Xiaoxiao was beyond words, mainly because he thought this new soy sauce was really awesome.
At the same time, all those who questioned Su Xiaoxiao were told to shut up. Prince Gong is now focused on cooperating with Su Xiaoxiao to sell soy sauce, and will never touch Su Xiaoxiao because of this.
Within a few days, Prince Gong told Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng the good news, "The site of the new soy sauce workshop has been selected, and it is located in the suburbs of the west end of the city."
Naturally, that place also belonged to Prince Gong's sphere of influence. After returning home, Su Xiaoxiao would of course continue to live in Qian Musheng's home.
Qian Musheng only smelled the smell of boiled fish today, but didn't eat a bite.
In order to thank Qian Musheng for his help these days, Su Xiaoxiao specially made another boiled fish dish for Qian Musheng.
After setting the schedule to go back, Su Xiaoxiao was leaving again. After all, there were a lot of things at home, so Su Xiaoxiao decided that it would be better to go back quickly.
Qian Musheng was actually quite reluctant to leave. Before leaving, he ordered a black-topped carriage for Su Xiaoxiao and finally replaced the mule carriage that drove Su Xiaoxiao here.
When Su Xiaoxiao returned home, it happened that Mr. Huaian's private school in Baihua Village was about to start school. Mr. Huaian noticed that there were quite a few children in the village, so he contacted some of his former classmates, and those people were willing to come over and help teach.
It can be regarded as a kind of radiance for the elderly. Some people can still shine even if they are retired.
These people are also from Fuzi background, and have a very good reputation in the local area.
On the first day of school, other children in the village came to school. Of course, the school distributed books to them for free. Su Xiaoxiao took this into consideration.
What Su Xiaoxiao did was considered a kind of charity. It was a good thing, but there was always a discordant voice. Everyone said that Su Xiaoxiao was doing it for a show and criticized Su Xiaoxiao.
Li Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and said to everyone: "You people are really too much. Why do you use such a villainous heart to speculate on others?"
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao did this for everyone's good. After all, studying may have changed the fate of these children. It is a way out for one person. Should these children still be farmers in the fields with their parents for the rest of their lives? ?
With your face facing the loess and your back turned to the sky, you will have to work hard in the fields for the rest of your life. Is this okay? Some people said reluctantly: "I guess this is Su Xiaoxiao's disguised attempt to collect money from everyone in the future. She actually does this just for money."
Li Zheng said to those people: "There is really something wrong with you people. Why do you use such a mood to speculate on others when they do good things to you? Have you ever thought about it? In fact, they did this without receiving any money or benefits?”
"Then what is she trying to do? If she doesn't plan for something, how could she be so generous? We don't believe it!"
Li Zheng was speechless in the end.
He believed that no matter how he explained it, he could not explain it clearly. This was quite troublesome. It was quite sad to think that Su Xiaoxiao had contributed money and efforts, but in the end he still ended up not being understood. .
In fact, the most important thing about the school in Baihua Village is that the tuition is cheap. The tuition here is actually much cheaper than outside. Su Xiaoxiao, no matter how loud the doubts from the outside are, she has the mentality to let all the children in the village want to learn. Only then will they contribute money and effort.
