The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Mushroom Hot Pot

 After a new rain in the sky, I woke up and stood in the corridor breathing the fresh air. My whole body felt refreshed. The corners and eaves are covered with green plants, blooming and bearing fruit, full of life.

Su Ruojin stretched and asked, "Brother Jin, do you want to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms?" She planned to make a mushroom pot.

As long as he is with the young lady, Zhao Lan is happy to do whatever he wants, "Yeah."

Su Ruojin took a small basket and handed it to him, "Then please ask Brother Jin to carry the basket."

Zhao Lan took it with a smile.

As soon as the two of them got off the corridor, the little lady who was rescued yesterday ran over from the other end of the corridor. When she came up, she knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life." She kowtowed three times in a row.

Su Ruojin looked at the girl behind her, Bihan.

Bihan looked helpless, "Back to the second lady, my servant told her to have a good rest, and it won't be too late to come back when everything is ready. With a good look, my servant let her run to the front yard."

The servants of the farmhouse all live in the staff dormitory behind the courtyard. The young lady who was rescued yesterday was arranged by Aunt Sui to be taken care of by a middle-class girl Bihan, who lives next door to her.

It is good to have a grateful heart, but in such a remote ravine, except for the bandits who came here with purpose last time, few people can come here, so it is really unexpected for her to come here. Zhao Lan asked her yesterday Santai went to the capital to investigate.

 The news has not arrived yet.

Su Ruojin thanked and knelt down, so she had no choice but to let Bihan help her up, "Take good care of yourself."

"Thank you very much for your benefactor. You can drink the benefactor's medicine and eat the benefactor's food. If the benefactor doesn't mind, I am willing to use my work to pay for the food and medicine."

Su Ruojin was not polite to her: "Okay, then I will ask Manager Ye to calculate how much you spent, and then I will pay you according to the working hours."

Probably she didn't expect Su Ruojin to answer the question like this. The beautiful young lady was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Lan, but was so frightened by his stern eyes that she immediately retracted her neck, "Thank you so much, my benefactor."

The little lady's action of peeping at Zhao Lan was obvious. Su Ruojin was not blind, so of course she saw it.

Su Zhao and Su Zhao looked at each other helplessly. It is estimated that this kind of thing will happen in the future.

Mao Ya stood aside, her eyes sparkling with anger, and she didn't know what was good or bad. She wished she could drive the person away right now, and said in a bad tone, "Don't take the person away yet."

“Yes, Sister Mao.” Bihan quickly dragged the person away.

Such people were not worthy of Su Ruojin's anger, so she turned around and put them behind her, "Let's go, Brother Jin, let's go up the mountain to pick up fungi."

 The mountain forest that had been washed by wind and rain was very humid, and many fungi sprouted up quickly like bamboo shoots after a rain. Su Ruojin didn't know many fungi, but Shuangrui knew a lot and picked up a lot.

Su Ruojin didn't dare to pick up anything she didn't recognize. "Both, are you sure you can eat it?"

Shuangrui nodded, "My hometown is in the mountains. I know a lot of fungi. I also ate all these fungi last year when I went to the north to fight with my master and camped in the wild without food."

Hearing that he had eaten it during the war, Su Ruojin finally felt relieved and even talked about some things about the war.

While chatting and picking, Su Ruojin only picked the fragrant ruts, mushrooms, and black fungus that she knew, but not the ones she didn't know. She also picked a lot of early-ripening walnuts that had been knocked to the ground by the wind and rain.

“Wow, I thought they weren't ripe yet, but I didn't expect to pick up so many. Brother Jin, I'll make some candied chestnuts for you later.”

"good."

Mushroom hot pot is a later specialty pot in Yunnan and Guizhou. Several different types of mushrooms are stewed together into a pot. The fresh aroma of the mushrooms is forced out under the action of high temperature, resulting in bursts of fresh aroma and charming taste.

The mushrooms are sweet and delicious, with a smooth and refreshing taste. The essence lies in the deliciousness of the soup and the tenderness of the mushrooms.

Su Ruojin couldn't make a mushroom hot pot with just the few kinds he picked up. At best, he could make a mushroom soup base. Shuangrui picked up a lot of fungi, such as flower mushrooms, hazelnut mushrooms, trumpet ruts, etc.

 Among them, the flower mushroom is a kind of deformed mushroom, which is the best among the shiitake mushrooms. Su Ruojin didn't dare to pick it when he saw it, thinking it was some kind of poisonous mushroom.

There was a good harvest on the mountain. When he returned home, Su Ruojin gave the fungi to the cooks to process. One of the two cooks was hired by Dong's mother in Weizhou County, and the other was the wife of the principal family in Shangouzi.

Su Ruojin changed the clothes that were dirty on the mountain, washed up, and felt a little sleepy again, so she squinted for a while. When she woke up, the sun was about to set, and the rays of sunlight shone through the mountains and forests onto the farmhouse, as if it was covered with a layer of halo. The dyed gauze is extremely beautiful.

 “Oh my God, it's so beautiful.”

There is no camera, but someone seems to be doing something to preserve it forever. Shangguanyu also saw that the evening scenery of the mountains and forests was as beautiful as heaven and earth, so he couldn't help but take out his paintbrush and set up an easel in the courtyard to paint.

Just when Su Ruojin was about to run down to look at Shangguanyu paintings, someone stood behind him.

Shangguanyu was immersed in the beautiful sunset, and he didn't even realize that someone was standing behind him, with an expression of admiration and shyness.

Qiu Shan, who was grinding paint for his young master, didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he was just being watched while the young master was painting. He was used to being watched, but when he unconsciously saw the young lady's obsessed eyes, he was so frightened that he almost lost his temper. Ultramarine, this was obtained by his former master, Su Yanzu, from Princess Yuehua. Ultramarine is the oldest and most vivid blue pigment! It is made of lapis lazuli, which was more expensive than gold in ancient Europe, so ultramarine is also a pigment that can make people bankrupt!

 Suddenly, Su Ruojin lost all appreciation and became listless.

Zhao Lan put his hands around the little lady's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. He was enjoying the sunset and warmth. He felt the little lady's almost invisible sigh immediately and followed her gaze towards the courtyard. Looking over, he saw the young lady of the Zhong family standing behind Shangguanyu.

Anyone who is happy can see the shy and timid look in the little lady's eyes.

Zhao Lan: ...He also didn't expect that a young lady with low intelligence could be pregnant with a girl?

Su Ruojin was in no mood and pushed Zhao Lan's hand away, "Brother Jin, it's getting late. I'll go down and make the mushroom pot."

 Zhao Lan followed her down to the pavilion.

The farmhouse built by Su Ruojin is actually a triple courtyard with many rooms and a large yard. The entire farmhouse is on one floor, so where does the pavilion come from? It was the master bedroom that Su Ruojin had reserved for herself. It was higher than the other rooms and had a pavilion just like the LOFT.

 One is for good looks, and the other is so that in case of emergency, things that are not conducive to the farmhouse can be observed from the highest point of the farmhouse.

After coming down, when the two of them walked through the corridor, they both looked at the young lady standing behind Shangguanyu, but it was just a glance.

In the kitchen, the cooks have already cleaned up all kinds of fungi and are waiting for the little boss to start cooking.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Su Ruojin's attention quickly turned to tonight's dinner. Not to mention all kinds of bacteria, experienced cooks handle them. Those that need to be boiled in water are detoxified, and those that need to be fried in oil have been fried.

Su Ruojin asked Uncle Hua Pingxian to catch two big roosters, and took out the pig bones that he brought from the county yesterday and chopped them into pieces of suitable size.

 Hand these two types of meat, blanch them in a pot to remove the foam.

 Then put the washed chicken and bones into the pot and cook, add an appropriate amount of water, and then add each mushroom in order according to the degree of cookedness of each type of bacteria in the pot. After the soup is cooked, add appropriate amount of salt and seasoning, then ladle the soup into the hot pot and bring to a boil.

 Mushrooms are generally ready to eat after being cooked, but they must be cooked thoroughly before eating, otherwise they will fall into pieces accidentally.

 It's best to eat mushrooms in their original flavor, so Su Ruojin didn't make so many seasonings, but simply made two kinds, one with garlic and one with chili.

 Try not to drink alcohol when eating mushrooms. Although some wild mushrooms are non-toxic, some of the ingredients they contain will react chemically with the ethanol contained in wine to produce toxins and cause poisoning. Therefore, it is best not to drink alcohol when eating wild mushrooms.

When the steaming mushroom hot pot was brought to the courtyard to eat in the mountain breeze, dusk was closing and the light was dim. Shangguanyu had already moved the easel back to his room and could smell the aroma.

 “It smells so good, it's a blessing again, thank you for your hard work, my dear wife.”

Su Ruojin smiled brightly and said, "Young Master Shangguan is too polite. Is your painting ready?"

“It's not ready yet, but it's too dark, so I can only finish this painting from memory tomorrow.”

 That's the bad thing about ancient times. There was no way to preserve short-lived things permanently. She felt regretful in her heart, with a bright smile on her face, "Then I can only admire your paintings tomorrow. Come over and eat delicious food first."

 As the water in the hot pot began to boil, everyone gathered around the table and started eating dinner.

Zhong Wanhui did not stick to Su Ruojin, she sat next to Shangguanyu.

For a moment, Su Ruojin didn't know how to describe her expression. It stands to reason that the Zhong Ning family should have searched the capital long ago since the eldest daughter of a well-known family was missing, but now there is no movement.

Perhaps, the Zhong Ning family should be the driving force behind Miss Zhong's escape here.

At the main table were Zhao Lan, Su Ruojin, Shangguanyu, and Mrs. Zhong. The others either set up another table or ate squatting in the kitchen.

Yunyan was neither at the other table nor in the kitchen. She brought the food and squatted in the corner of the corridor to eat. It was blocked by the corridor, so no one saw her squatting in the corner to eat.

 The mushroom soup is really not ordinary, it is really so fresh that it will make you lose your eyebrows.

At night, lanterns are hung on the porch, and the mountain breeze brings a slight coolness. Combined with the hot hot pot, this is just the right amount of comfort and comfort.

The dinner lasted about an hour. After eating and drinking, the servants cleared the table. Su Ruojin stood up to eat. The moment she stood up, her head suddenly fell to the ground. Zhao Lan didn't catch it and fell to the ground. .

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Lan turned over Su Ruojin, who was lying on the ground. Her lips had turned black, and she looked like she was poisoned. "Sir...sir..." He shouted to the military doctor who was accompanying him.

Mr. Mo jumped out of nowhere and took out his needle, his tool for eating. With a sharp eye and quick hands, he inserted seven or eight needles in the blink of an eye, sealing the lips that were still turning purple.

 “Sir, what's going on?”

 If the soup is poisonous, why are the others who eat it fine? If the soup is not poisonous, then what's going on?

Mr. Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young master, the second lady's diagnosis looks like Qi Hua Powder, but this poison has been extinct for a long time. Maybe it's because my subordinate is not good at work and the diagnosis is wrong."

Mr. Mo has been with Zhao Lan since he was born, and has always protected him. If there are people in this world who are good at identifying poisons, and Mr. Mo is second, then no one would dare to say that he is first.

 Seven Flower Powder?
