Shen Mingshu looked up in some doubts, met the eyes of the visitor, and couldn't help being stunned, "Qin Jiu?"

"Mingshu! It's really you." Qin Jiu's eyes widened in surprise.

Luo Xin raised her head and looked over, she was a refreshing girl with a delicate face, holding a glass of wine in her hand, hearing Shen Mingshu's warm address, Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Shen Mingshu introduced to Qin Jiu, "This is my wife, Luo Xin."

She looked at Luo Xin and said softly, "This is Qin Jiu, who lives next door to us, and she opened the winery."

Luo Xin nodded, and smiled politely and reservedly, "Hello."

Qin Jiu looked at Luo Xin and smiled, "Hi, I'm Qin Jiu. I heard that Ming Shu got married a long time ago, but I didn't meet the real person until today. It's also good luck to meet the busy Miss Shen here. I'll see you later." Go to my place for a drink, I just got a good prescription a few years ago, and I can try it these days."

Shen Mingshu smiled, and said, "It's not in a hurry. We've moved back to the East Xuan Building now, so we'll have more chances to visit."

Qin Jiu was taken aback for a moment, seeing the plain soup noodles they were eating, the most famous of this old noodle shop was beef noodles, after a little thought in his mind, he guessed a little bit, then calmly said with a smile, "Since that's the case, how can I have more noodles in the future?" It's a blessing."

Shen Mingshu smiled softly, looked at the big wine jar in her arms, and asked, "Are you going to deliver wine now?"

"Exactly," Qin Jiu patted the wine tank in his arms, and said quite complacently, "I went out looking for wine-making materials a year ago, and now I'm being urged to deliver them the next time I come back. .”

"That should be saved for us."

The Qin family's wine has always been in short supply. Even if you don't meet Qin Jiu today, she will have to visit her in a few days. After all, an inn cannot lack wine.

Qin Jiu readily agreed and said, "There are some other new wines that you haven't tasted yet, and I have to deliver wines everywhere today, why don't you come over tonight and have a good taste."

"Okay." Shen Mingshu agreed.

Qin Jiu was going to deliver the wine, so after saying a few words, he hurried away with the wine jar in his arms.

Seeing that the peanuts in Luo Xin's bowl were almost gone, Shen Mingshu gave her a spoonful, "We'll go to her place to taste wine in the evening, it's up to Xin'er."

Luo Xin nodded obediently, and asked softly, "Did sister often cook food for her?"

She remembered what Qin Jiu said in her heart, and she was inexplicably concerned about what Qin Jiu said. Could it be that her sister used to do it for Qin Jiu often?With that in mind, he asked directly.

"That's not true," Shen Mingshu picked up a chopsticks of thin noodles and let them cool, "I used to help in the cooking when I was here before, most of which were the skills of my father and other masters."

Hearing that her sister didn't make it for Qin Jiu on purpose, Luo Xin felt relieved, said "Oh" crisply, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and ate up the soft noodles in the bowl.

After eating plain noodles, Shen Mingshu led her around a small alley and came to a bustling market. Just now there were mostly ready-made snacks and meals, but here were mostly fresh vegetables, fruits and fish.

Shen Mingshu led her in from the entrance on the river bank, and introduced, "This small boat can be docked, and there are fresh fish and shrimps every day, and further inside are seasonal vegetables and fruits, as well as game from the mountains. Although our inn is located There are a lot of fruits and vegetables grown in the village in the countryside, but people are still sent here every day to buy more."

Luo Xin nodded, and when she heard Shen Mingshu's words about our inn, she felt a little sweet in her heart, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she blinked her eyes at the stalls around her.

Now that spring has just begun, all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits are full, such as peppers, green peppers, shepherd's purse, cauliflower, etc., neatly placed in front of the stalls, with dew on them, very fresh.

Shen Mingshu walked slowly with her, and casually said to her, "Now is the season when shepherd's purse is cooked. You can make wonton dumplings, fried spring rolls, and glutinous rice balls. Although you can't eat meat, you should also add diced tofu and carrots." good."

"You can also add some shiitake mushrooms and diced cucumber."

Luo Xin became interested and replied happily.

"Sounds very good, go back and try it." Shen Mingshu paid attention to the bustling crowd, and walked while protecting Luo Xin.

When she was about to walk out of the market, Luo Xin's eyes fell on one spot, she suddenly stopped, and let out a soft snort.

"What's wrong?" Shen Mingshu followed her gaze and looked over, a middle-aged woman was peeling yellow peas.

Luo Xin stared at the small basket with dark eyes, then turned to Shen Mingshu, "Sister, I want to buy some yellow peas back home."

Shen Mingshu thought for a while, and guessed, "Is this for making pea yellow?"

Luo Xin smiled and nodded.

The woman only peeled off a part, and there was still more than half of it in the basket behind her. Shen Mingshu bought that basket directly and asked the servants behind him to take it back.

In the morning, Xuandong Building had already purchased all kinds of ingredients, so Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin didn't need to buy anything, they only brought some yellow peas back.

Back in Xuandong Building, it was still early, and there were not many guests coming. Shen Mingshu, Luo Xin and a few other guys sat in the yard peeling peas together, and then peeled off the yellow peas one by one and put them aside.

After all the yellow peas are processed, they are soaked in cold water. These processes are quite troublesome, and it is not too early to finish the processing. The back kitchen has already prepared the ingredients for noon.

Shen Mingshu looked at the time, there was no need to wait for soaking soybeans here, so she took Luo Xin to the back kitchen to prepare shepherd's purse spring rolls.

The dough was ready, Shen Mingshu tied up his sleeves with Luo Xin, and kneaded the dough with one hand to make sure it was soft and firm, and the small fire on the pan beside him had already been lit.

Shen Mingshu brushed the oil on the griddle, picked up the dough with one hand, moved his fingers slightly, and the dough was in the palm of his hand.

She gently wiped the dough on the griddle, and a thin round skin immediately appeared on the griddle. After a while, the edge was slightly raised. Shen Mingshu quickly took it off and put it aside, and spread the dough again with the other hand. go up.

Not long after, several thin spring roll wrappers appeared on the side plate.

The guys in the back kitchen looked at this move, and they also showed surprise. They only knew that the boss was the eldest lady of the Shen family, and she was good at business planning, so they didn't know that there was such a hand.

The master chef who was in charge of cooking in Xuandong Building before drove them to work, looked at Shen Mingshu's movements with a smile, and praised, "Missy still retains her good skills, and we can learn more. "

Shen Mingshu smiled when he heard the words, took off the last spring roll skin, and covered it with a damp cloth, "Uncle Zhang boasted too much, but I was still hoping to steal more teachers from you."

Many of these people were good friends who came here with Father Shen, so she naturally respected them.

With the arrival of the first wave of guests, the back kitchen also got busy, and it became lively for a while. Shen Mingshu picked a corner and prepared stuffing with Luo Xin.

The two men respectively diced soft tofu, pure shepherd's purse, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, etc., poured them into the pot and stir-fried them, and the aroma diffused after a while. After boiling, thicken with wet starch, boil them into a paste, take them out and let them cool , add soy sauce and sesame oil, and the filling will be ready in a short time.

Shen Mingshu taught Luo Xin how to make spring rolls, which was much easier than the Sanding buns. Luo Xin was very quick at it, and most of them were wrapped in a short while.

Shen Mingshu heated the oil pan to [-]% heat, put in the raw spring rolls, fried them slowly until they were golden red, and drained them.

Shen Mingshu picked up the drained shepherd's purse spring rolls, turned around and took the chopsticks, picked one up and blew it, and handed it to Luo Xin's lips, "Try it, is it okay?"

Luo Xin still had flour on her hands, so she leaned over and took a bite. The golden shell was thin and crispy. After biting open, she tasted the fragrance of shepherd's purse inside, mixed with the soft and waxy diced tofu and the sweetness of mushrooms.

Luo Xin's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head in approval, "It's delicious!"

Shen Mingshu fed her and ate another one, and then gave Uncle Zhang a few to taste, and they were all very appreciative. In the past, all the spring rolls with shepherd's purse contained pork, but this vegetarian spring roll with shepherd's purse was also delicious. The fragrance of shepherd's purse is eye-catching.

Shen Mingshu made a lot of portions, so he put three or three shepherd's purse spring rolls on a plate, decorated with young shepherd's purse leaves, and asked the waiter to deliver a plate to each table's guests, saying that it was free from the shopkeeper.

Xuandonglou's pastries were just mediocre, but now she and Luo Xin make them, and outsiders won't be willing to spend money to buy them if they don't know about them. It's better to gradually improve by giving them away.

If you like to eat, you will naturally ask for more, so it is not too forced, and if you don't like to eat, there is no loss.

And she didn't want Luo Xin to be too busy. With this method, they wouldn't be kept in the back kitchen, and they could order whatever kind of dim sum they wanted, and still have some time to walk around.

The guys sent out a plate of spring rolls, and after Shen Mingshu fried the spring rolls, he handed over the rest of the packing to the helper, and tidied Luo Xin's clothes himself.

Working in the back kitchen, it was inevitable that some flour would get on it. Shen Mingshu wrung out the towel, and gently wiped it for Luo Xin, and then let Luo Xin wipe it for her.

After they dealt with it, the maids had already prepared lunch for them, and it was placed in the lobby on the second floor at Luo Xin's request.

Luo Xin and Shen Mingshu were eating, and they could see the reactions of the guests after they tasted the spring rolls.

After tasting it, many guests were still unsatisfied, so they added another plate. Luo Xin saw it, as if she had been praised, and felt as happy as if she had added honey.

Shen Mingshu saw that her eyebrows were crooked, and the corners of her lips were raised, so she picked up a chopstick for Luo Xin and coaxed her to eat more.
