C6 Calf Knife

Su Qian had already carefully thought about it yesterday. In the modern era, she was an orphan. She would only become a civil servant for half her life. Her knowledge was useless in this era.

As for the female workers who excelled in music, calligraphy, and poetry … He was even more blind, as he had been tossing and turning in the past few days, but all he could think of was that his culinary skills were still passable.

Thus, she paid attention to what the villagers were eating. When she saw that they did not wake up to ferment the steamed buns, and instead forcefully made a lump on the ground, Su Qian recovered her confidence.

Didn't you think that I, Da China, am the most adept at delicious food?

Bai Shui Xin took out a pile of firewood that Su Qian had stuffed into the box and lightly pulled up the bellows next to the stove.

The rusted bellows emitted a sharp sound, but there was still a spark that slowly ignited. Soon after, there was a sudden burst of flames. The entire stove was lit!

Su Qian opened her mouth in surprise. Bai Shuixin smiled and explained, "This furnace is just like a human's. Although my stomach is big, I can't fill it up. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch my breath."

Su Qian nodded his head in understanding. It seemed that he was in too much of a hurry. There were too many firewood stoppers, causing the air to stop flowing. There was only a lack of oxygen from burning.

Bai Shui Xin had a gentle personality, she did not let the fire go even when it started. She skillfully sat on the pot, scooped up the water in the vat and began to boil it.

He then turned around and smiled at Su Qian Qian, "Sister Su, I just saw that there wasn't even a drop of water in the house. Why don't we boil some hot water?"

Bai Shuixin was smiling gently, but her actions were quite domineering. If it was a petty person, they would naturally be displeased; however, Su Qian was a heartless person.

She nodded indifferently, "It's good that you're here. I was planning to boil some water to boil your divine grass!"

Bai Shui Xin saw the situation and smiled, but did not say anything more.

After simply making the Thousand Leaves of Linglong Grass, Su Qian quickly sat back in the pot and said without even looking back: "Since yesterday, there has not been a fire in this house. As the saying goes, a normal person is made of steel, but you can't starve Miss Bai, right?"

She turned around with her mouth wide open in a harmless manner, "Therefore, I'd like to ask Miss Bai to help me feed this soup to my husband. I'll make some food!"

Bai Shuixin was stunned, how could he be the one to deal with the patient in front of his bed?

However, when she turned her head and remembered the handsome Lu Chan on the sickbed, Bai Shuixin nodded for some reason, even though his face was pale.

As Su Qian saw Bai Shui Xin carefully bringing the medicine in, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

I don't believe that you won't be tempted by me and my brother being around each other day and night.

After taking care of this matter, Su Qian began to cook.

The Lu family was not rich in the first place. Now that Lu Sheng and Lu Ming were in a coma, Lu Bai's wife had gone into hiding and pretended to be dead. The things in the family were almost all gone as Su Qian fumbled around for a long time, only to find a jar of brown rice, a few pieces of old tofu, and some leek and garlic.

Su Qian's pretty eyebrows knitted together. What could he do? The old tofu was also not the modern tofu with the soft and sticky texture. It was marinated by ancient methods and was extremely hard. One could even smell a sour stench from far away, making it even more salty to taste it.

Su Qian spat out the strange tofu in a few mouthfuls. Without any other choice, he could only boil the old tofu with water and try to soften it up.

While the water was still wet, Su Qian climbed up the mountain in the backyard and finally found a few yellow flowers.

Although the taste of the yellow flower was sour and astringent, it was just enough to remove the odour of the old tofu.

Su Qian went down the mountain in satisfaction. Coincidentally, the water was already boiling. She washed the yellow tofu and put it into the water to boil. Then, she quickly cut the scallions and garlic into pieces.

Simple materials, insufficient seasoning, that is not to pursue the taste of the United States, but should taste fresh.

The tofu was quickly scooped out and Su Qian replaced the water in the bamboo steamer with the steamer.

Following that, she used salt to rub the tofu onto the surface of the tofu, thoroughly draining the water from within. Then, she ground it into a ball with scallion and ginger, wrapping it in a thick layer of brown rice and placing each piece on top of the steamer to be steamed again.

This was already the best that she could do at this moment. Although the taste of the brown rice was not good, when paired with the delicate taste of the tofu, it was actually quite interesting.

Very soon, a delicate fragrance came from the pot. Bai Shui Xin had just spent a lot of effort to feed the medicine to Lu Xian, and when she came back with the empty bowl and smelled the fragrance, she was stunned for a moment.

She had escaped for a long time so she had forgotten about the taste of food. At the moment, she unconsciously swallowed a lot of saliva. There was a loud sound coming from her stomach.

She suddenly felt ashamed of her gluttony and her face turned red.

However, Su Qian did not think too much about it. Even though Bai Shui Xin's face was flushed red, she still smiled indulgently when she heard Bai Shui Xin's growl.

In the modern orphanage, she was old and often had to manage the food of the entire courtyard.

These orphans did not have the same shame as Bai Shui Xin, they only felt hungry. When Su Qian cooked, he just stood around them, drooling for three thousand feet.

Su Qian Qian was not annoyed. Instead, she found them cute. She was very sure about her cooking skills and would laugh and chat with the little radishes every time she cooked.

As he thought of the past and then looked at the situation before him, Su Qian faintly sighed.

However, very quickly, she saw the empty medicine bowl in Bai Shui Xin's hands, and a crafty smile flashed across her lips. "Miss Bai, you came."

Bai Shuixin nodded shyly. Su Qian then said with a smile, "Wait a while longer, the rice ball will be ready soon."

Bai Shui Xin smelled the fragrance and found it very delicious. Hearing Su Qian's words, she curiously asked: "Rice balls? What's that?"

Su Qian was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and explained, "It's to pinch the rice into a ball and then make some food. It's very tasty, and also very hungry."

Bai Shui Xin was very curious, but she didn't want Su Qian to make a joke out of her. She could only nod and pretend that she understood, while waiting to the side to see if she could do something for Su Qian.

Su Qian was also happy to have her accompany him. The two of them said that their conversation would be more interesting than her standing here alone.

However, he didn't expect that this harmony would be broken in just a short amount of time.

Lu Bai's house was naturally the largest one with the best lighting. The kitchen was right next to her house.

Not long after Su Qian had started cooking, Lu Bai's wife caught a whiff of the fragrant smell in the room.
