Chapter 339 This is Guo Gaoang!
"How should I know who it is! What are you three playing?" Su Yuchen looked at the three of them, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You don't know who it is?" Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
"Who should I know?"
"Do you know a man with the surname Shi?" Yun Yongyuan asked anxiously.
"My last name is Shi... No." Su Yuchen recalled and said firmly. "What's wrong?"
"A Mr. Shi gave you these flowers." Zhao Xiaojing pointed to the three buckets of flowers.
"Ah?" This time it was Su Yuchen's turn to be stunned. He turned his head and looked blankly at the flowers in the bucket.
"Why are you giving it to me? Didn't you ask when you received it? Did you have any cards?"
"There's no card. It was sent from Yun Province via cold chain, not from the flower shop. It has your name and phone number on it, and the sender only wrote Mr. Shi."
"You really don't know?" Wan Yuyue was confused.
"I really don't know! Could it have been sent to the wrong address? Is the express box still there? Let me see." Su Yuchen jumped up.
"The fresh flowers are gone, but the fresh produce is here. I'll find it for you." Zhao Xiaojing quickly stood up.
"There are fresh foods?!" Su Yuchen was shocked.
"Yes, flowers were delivered in the afternoon and fresh food was delivered in the evening, both by express delivery." Zhao Xiaojing nodded.
"Besides, one is in Yunnan Province and the other is in Gui Province. We also thought that you secretly had a boyfriend who traveled around..." Yun Yongyuan muttered.
"Wait a minute! What province?" Su Yuchen suddenly stopped.
"Yes, the flowers are from Yunnan Province, and the fresh produce is from Guizhou Province." Zhao Xiaojing said as she dragged out the cardboard boxes that were not thrown away yesterday from under the operating table.
Su Yuchen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the noodle order. "Mr. Shi? That's not right... Let me see what you sent."
"Smoked meat, tofu, sour soup...this is not Mr. Shi, this is Guo Gaoang!" Su Yuchen patted Zhao Xiaojing on the shoulder.
"Guo Gaoang!"
Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan also knew Guo Gaoang and his group as they had had meals together several times. When they heard this answer, the three of them choked up.
"Then what did he write, sir!"
"Then why did he give you flowers?"
"Is he trying to chase you?"
Zhao Xiaojing, Yun Yongyuan, and Wan Yuyue said at the same time.
"No! He didn't give it to me!" Su Yuchen smiled helplessly, "He said they went to your province and had a lot of good food, so they sent some to the store. He said he would ask Jingzi to make hot pot and they could come and have a meal. He wanted to learn from Jingzi's cooking skills and share it with everyone. It's not for me alone. I'm not a pig! It's just because Jingzi had to cook and didn't have time to look at his phone, so he wrote my number!"
"Really?" Wan Yuyue was skeptical.
"Really? Oh, yes, do you remember, Mirror? I knocked on your door a few days ago to look for you, but you interrupted me and I forgot what I was going to say. I just wanted to talk about this! And before that, when Aunt Wen came, didn't I just mention him to you? I was going to tell you that day as well!"
"I remember. So that's what happened." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, suddenly realizing.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Wait." Yun Yongyuan, who had been silent the whole time, narrowed his eyes. "If it was a specialty, why did he send you flowers? Who would send flowers as a specialty? And he's in your province, why would he go to Yun Province to send you flowers?"
"Yes! Blind student, you found the highlight!" Wan Yuyue slapped her thigh.
"Yeah, why did he send flowers?...Wait, I'll call him now!"
The action-oriented Su Yuchen picked up his phone and dialed the number, then started playing the call in front of the three people.
"Hello, Comb, I was just about to call you when you called!" Guo Gaoang's background voice was very noisy, "Is the store busy now?"
"Not busy, the store is closed today. Lao Guo, did you send those flowers and fresh food?"
"The store is closed! When did you close the store? Da Zhuang and I were just about to pick up Li Zi and go to your place for dinner! We even specially left when you were about to get off work, saying we were going to eat hotpot!" Guo Gaoang was instantly defeated.
"Then come on, we happen to be in the store." Zhao Xiaojing laughed out loud when she said Cao Cao wanted to eat hotpot and Cao Cao came to eat hotpot now.
"Haha! Thank you, Chef Zhao, for cooking for us today! You guys don't have to eat, come together later, we'll buy some food. Did you receive the sour soup from yesterday?"
"I got it. I was just about to ask you! Didn't you say you were sending local specialties from your province? Why are you sending flowers from Yun Province again?"
"Haha, this is a long story. I'll tell you in detail later! Jingzi, take out the sour soup I sent you yesterday. The recipe is written on it. We'll have sour soup hotpot for lunch! We're going to buy groceries now and will be there in about an hour."
"Okay, there are only four of us, so don't buy too much."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuchen looked at the three people who had just "interrogated" her aggressively with interest.
"Um... my stir-fried beef is still in the pot. My junior sister just said that I didn't cook it at the right temperature. I'll go practice it some more."
"Wow! My bamboo shoots are just out of the pot! I used a new method to fry them this time. I have to try them!"
"I, I supervise them!"
The three of them quickly fled away from Su Yuchen's sight.
"Invincible~How lonely~" Su Yuchen laughed and sang a song to the three people's fleeing backs.
In the kitchen, although things have not been fully clarified, it seems that there is no gossip at the moment. While the three of them are feeling unhappy, they can finally concentrate on cooking and start to cook seriously.
While supervising the two, Zhao Xiaojing was also busy. After boiling and deboning the elbow in the morning, she tied it up and put it in the pot to steam. It had been steamed for an hour and a half, and there was still half an hour left. After watching Wan Yuyue and the others fry a few dishes, Zhao Xiaojing estimated the time when Guo Gaoang and the other two would come, so she opened the refrigerator and began to look for the sour soup that Guo Gaoang mentioned.
Yesterday, when I was receiving a parcel, I was picking up a passenger. In a hurry, I just randomly stuffed the items in the same type of small cartons together according to the storage method.
Fortunately, the sour soup is conspicuous. You can see the tall and big plastic bottle at a glance, which contains a red sauce-like semi-liquid.
"To make sour soup, stir-fry scallions, ginger, garlic and lard, then add sour soup, water, and Litsea cubeba oil for seasoning... Litsea cubeba oil? Oh, this one."
Zhao Xiaojing followed the path of the sour soup and immediately found a small bottle of Litsea cubeba oil next to it.
After stir-frying and adding water according to the instructions, the soup in the pot turned tomato red. Zhao Xiaojing scooped out a spoonful of it, intending to taste it before seasoning it. But after taking a sip, she was immediately refreshed, as if she had opened the door to a new world.
I don’t know how this sour soup is made, it’s very special sour, and even the soup base is not seasoned yet it tastes very appetizing. It seems to contain the acidity of tomatoes, but it is much more complex than the acidity of tomatoes. This complex and rich taste cannot be produced by a single acid.
Zhao Xiaojing took a few more bites, added seasonings according to her taste, and finally opened the Litsea cubeba oil. Just as she was about to dip it in to taste it, she was struck by the magical taste.
So exciting.
It’s better not to add it. If you like it, just add it directly to the bowl.
