Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 237 Su He's Wensi Tofu is out of the pot

When Su He's father heard that it was the owner of Wanfuju, he roughly guessed what was going on. After hearing what he said, it was confirmed.

Su He's father said with difficulty: "Shopkeeper Qian, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but we have signed an agreement with Fu Man Lou, and we can't be the kind of person who breaks our promise. Also, Fu Man Lou has a backer behind it, I wonder if Shopkeeper Qian knows something about it?"

How could Shopkeeper Qian not know? If there wasn't someone behind Fu Man Lou, do you think he would have come here to buy a house from the Su family? If he wasn't afraid of that person behind the scenes, he would have used someone to do something behind the scenes. There was no need for him to do anything.

Su He's father said this because he had discussed it with Su He before, and these things would happen sooner or later. Su He told Shopkeeper Wu about these things in a vague way, and asked if they could solve the problem if someone caused trouble. Shopkeeper Wu said at the time, just push it to them, and rest assured that no one in Ansheng Country can do anything to them!

After Su He knew their background, she was actually shocked. She didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family, but since she was involved, she would only do these businesses in the future and try not to cooperate with them in other areas.

Su He used to watch palace fighting dramas, and he didn't understand anything. These people would start hurting each other as soon as they were careless. A small fish or shrimp like him would become someone else's side dish if he wasn't careful. Others could eat him however they wanted, but he had no choice but to be eaten to the bone.

It is better to stay away from it. I will publish recipes for a while and then I will take a break. I have made enough money. I can just be my own supplier.

But now it doesn't stop them from using their tiger skin to block it. There is nothing the shopkeeper Qian can do. No one can afford to offend him! He whispered, "Let's do it privately. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. How about two hundred taels for a recipe?"

Su He's father was not moved at all, and quickly declined, "This is unacceptable. Our Su family cannot do such immoral things. Please don't say anything more, Shopkeeper Qian."

Shopkeeper Qian saw that the deal was not going to go through, so he could not continue talking. He could only say goodbye and go back in disgrace.

Su He's father also said politely: "Manager Qian, I'm sorry that you didn't serve me a cup of tea. We just arrived and the water hasn't been boiled yet. I'm sorry for neglecting you."

Shopkeeper Qian suppressed his surprise and said with a smile, "No, I am sorry to bother you in such a hurry. Even if the sale fails, we are still friends. There will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future. I will take my leave now. See you later!"

Su He's father stood up, bowed, and saw the man off until he was out the door. He only returned home after the carriage had gone far away.

Su He also looked out the door and watched them go away. When he saw his father coming back, he went up to ask what was going on. As Su He's father walked back, he said that the shopkeeper Qian came to buy the house, but he had already refused.

Su He's father sighed that what was supposed to come would eventually come. They had been hiding behind for so long, and finally someone found them. Su He had no choice. It was a matter of time. As long as what Manager Wu said worked, there would be no problem.

They continued to clean up, and when it was almost noon, they went to Fu Man Lou to eat together. Last time, Shopkeeper Wu had said that they should come over to eat without being polite, because they would all try the dishes together anyway.

When they passed by, Qin Ming happened to see them and warmly invited them upstairs, and then asked Shopkeeper Wu to come over. Shopkeeper Wu pushed the door open with a smile and said, "I've been waiting for you to come. I haven't seen you, Xiao Su He, for a long time, and I miss you so much!"

Su He smiled sweetly and said, "I miss you too, Uncle Wu."

Su He's father gave the recipe written by Su He to Manager Wu. This time, Su He wrote some dishes that he had cooked at home for Fu Man Lou.

There are five dishes, including Wensi tofu, tiger skin peppers stuffed with meat, boiled pork slices, crispy pork belly, and white-cut chicken, as well as the method of making sauerkraut, all with carefully written steps.

Among these dishes, Wensi Tofu is the most challenging to knife skills. Su He specially went to a senior chef to learn how to cook this dish in order to shoot a video. He practiced for a month and could only barely pass it. Later, he got tired of eating this tofu and finally mastered his knife skills.

Su He went to the kitchen to teach them how to cook. When she cut the Wensi tofu and blanched it in hot water, she cut a piece of tender tofu into more than 15,000 tofu strands. The chef was amazed by her delicate knife skills. It was not that he couldn't do it, but Su He's knife skills were so good at such a young age that he didn't expect it.

Heat the chicken soup and skim off the oil, thicken with starch, add shredded mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and green leaf tofu, then pour in the shredded tofu. A bowl of soft, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth Wensi tofu soup is served.
