Bai Zhi asked: “Did he say their plan?”
Zhou Awu was puzzled: “Plan? What plan?” Zhou Ganf didn’t say anything.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It’s nothing, let’s go to eat!”
Hu Feng was so anxious to let her go. He must have made a dangerous plan. He didn’t want her to partic.i.p.ate in it. He wanted to protect her. She knew this inside her heart, but can’t he believe in her ability? With her there, maybe their plan can be implemented much better?
Seeing the family eating her cooking, her face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. The gloom in her heart gradually disappeared. People’s values can be reflected in many ways. If the east is not bright, the west is bright. Since Hu Feng doesn’t need her now, naturally there will be other people who need her.
Isn’t it nice to be with these lovely families?
Bai Zhi was relieved instantly, her appet.i.te improved, and she ate two bowls of rice. *
The next morning, Bai Zhi and Zhou Awu went to the fields and picked two bundles of herbs and brought them to the town, straight to the diner’s house.
When Boss Chen saw her, his dangling heart finally fell to the ground. These days, he went to the Huangtou Village several times, but he didn’t see her face. Her family was hesitating to talk, so he felt something wrong happened.
“Where have you been these days? It’s so hard to find you.” Boss Chen complained to her.
Bai Zhi said with a smile: “I was studying alchemy. I went to this old doctor with excellent medical skills and ask for advice. I just came yesterday.”
So that was the case, but this matter was not hard to tell. Why did her family refuse to tell him the truth?
Boss Chen had doubts, but since Bai Zhi had returned, he didn’t question her further. He only asked: “I went to your house the day before yesterday. I heard that some herbs in the field have grown. Can we make medicinal meals now?”
The stocked of melons have been sold out. The people who went to diner’s house were clamoring for new dishes. His business recently has plummeted.
Bai Zhi replied: “Of course, I have brought all the herbs. Let’s go to the kitchen.”
Boss Chen took Bai Zhi and Zhou Awu to the kitchen. It was still early in the morning. The people in the kitchen were preparing things and haven’t started to cook.
When several chefs saw Bai Zhi, they became enthusiastic as if they’ve seen their loved ones.
Boss Chen separated them and laughed: “Look at how you flatter people. Are you afraid that Zhi’er won’t teach you how to cook?”
Bai Zhi also laughed: “Don’t worry, I’m here to teach you all how to make new dishes.”
Zhou Awu put down two bundles of herbs. Now, there were only two kinds of herbs available in the field.
“This herb with small flower is a purple orchid, and this one with thick stems is lu qioa. I will teach you how to clean them first—”
“It’s very important to know how to wash and cut herbs. If you wash them poorly, not only you will destroy the appearance of the dishes, but also destroy the nutrition value and tenderness of the dishes. The dishes you will make may end up ugly nor unpalatable.”
After washing and cutting, she taught the chefs how to cook the purple orchid soup. The lu qiao was very easy to make. They only need to peel off the skin and mix some seasonings. However, it takes some time to cook the purple orchid soup, so they set up the soup first. After stirring the purple orchid soup twice, an attractive aroma came out from the soup. The flowers shouldn’t be put together in the boiling water. It will only be put on top when serving. The purple orchid soup was not only fragrant but also looked beautiful.
“Look at this, I can’t bear to eat it.” A Fat Chef praised.
Boss Chen has been greedy for a long time. He can’t help himself when he smelled it. He hurriedly went in front of the soup and said: “If you don’t want to eat, I’ll eat it.”
