My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

As the sun rose higher, all the shops and stalls along South Street River set up their stalls.

Cook the snow-white noodles until done, rinse them in cold water, drizzle with oil and toss with shredded chicken, sprinkle with shredded cucumber, add some vinegar and garlic sauce to taste, stir briefly, and take a big bite.

The noodles are chewy, the shredded chicken is tender, the cucumber is refreshing, the vinegar is sweet and sour, and the garlic is spicy. All kinds of flavors fill your mouth, each with its own characteristics, making you eager to start chewing.

But after just a few chews, you'll be captivated by the completely new, fusion-like flavor.

One bite after another, and most of the cold noodles were gone.

Lu Ping wasn't satisfied with his meal.

I reached out to ask the stall owner for another bowl, but suddenly, I smelled a strong aroma.

It's spicy!

There's also hemp!

The aroma, mixed with the scent of oil, was a fragrance he had never smelled before!

He glanced down at the bowl of noodles and quickly shoveled the rest of the noodles into his mouth.

The noodles that were just delicious now taste bland, not fragrant, not spicy, and not flavorful enough!

He finished the last bit of soup in the bowl and turned to look at the noodle stall owner.

"that……"

The stall owner looked at him expectantly. Lu Ping was a regular customer, known for his large appetite. He usually ate at least three bowls of cold noodles. So, did he want another bowl or two?

Lu Ping scratched his head. "Um, can you smell it?"

"?"

The stall owner was taken aback. "Huh?"

Don't you want noodles?

"That fragrance, wafting out suddenly, could it be coming from over there?"

Lu Ping pointed to a shop not far away. The shop was closed. He remembered that it used to sell braised rice, but it hadn't been open for a long time.

"Does it smell that good?"

The stall owner rolled his eyes inwardly.

He recounted what happened that morning, "Anyway, they all went inside later. They were going back and forth all morning, so I guess they cooked lunch there."

"oh."

As if guided by some strange force, Lu Ping ran to the shop entrance.

I had just steadied myself when I heard a hissing sound from inside!

Inside the room, Su Wan Ning had just poured a spoonful of hot oil into a deep bowl containing boiled pork slices.

The hot oil instantly boiled and exploded.

Chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and Sichuan peppercorn oil are rolled in hot oil layer by layer. First comes the intense spiciness, then the sharp numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns and the rich aroma of Sichuan peppercorns. These three flavors alone are enough to make everyone in the room's head buzz, and their eyes are so overwhelmed that they don't even want to blink.

But then the oil seeped into the next layer of fresh garlic and chopped wild onions, as well as the layers of meat slices stacked like flower petals.

The tender scallions and garlic have an extremely refreshing spiciness.

The hot oil seals the top, completely covering the meat slices with five layers of flavor.

The seemingly ordinary slices of meat, like fireworks that have been lit, suddenly burst forth with a savory and salty flavor that has already seeped into them during the marinating and cooking process, combined with the meat's own tenderness and aroma.

"Waaah, can I eat it now?"

Xu Lingxi wanted to cry. The familiar boiled pork slices had actually been recreated!

However, the door was suddenly knocked on loudly.

Everyone was stunned, only then realizing there was a huge figure at the doorway...

The figure spoke, "Um, excuse me, it smells so good, what are you eating?"

Everyone: ...

Su Wanning quickly went to open the door.

Lu Ping quickly took a step back, feeling quite embarrassed, but still shamelessly asked again, "Young ladies, what are you eating that sounds so delicious?"

He craned his neck to look inside.

The table was piled high with braised pork, tofu soup, several stir-fried dishes, and a few other dishes he'd never seen before. Which one was emitting that aroma? Wait, there was a huge bowl on the stove!

Steaming hot! This is it!

Su Wanning and the others exchanged glances, all understanding the man's intentions. Since they were going to open a shop eventually anyway, they took the initiative to speak, "I can tell you're a seasoned foodie. My shop will be opening in a few days, and timing is everything. If you have time, why don't you come in and help me try out the dishes?"

"!"

Lu Ping nodded quickly, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

As he said this, he strode into the house, as if afraid that if he was a moment late, the host would regret it.

"That's suitable. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Su Wanning added a bowl and chopsticks for him.

"No, no, I just have a good appetite."

Lu Ping shook his head repeatedly, then introduced himself, saying that he was attracted by the fragrance.

"You're really in for a treat today!"

Xu Lingxi didn't want anyone to take the meat from her; this was the world's first serving of boiled sliced ​​pork!

But they also knew what was important. If they really kicked the person out, and he was a glutton, who knows what kind of rumors he would spread later, and whether the shop could stay open or not.

After saying that, he quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating very fast.

The sliced ​​meat was so tender and smooth, fragrant and spicy! Ahhh, it was so delicious! Waaah, I want to cry, I miss home. She wants to recreate all the delicious food from her memories with her beloved Wan Ning!

"It's just a simple meal, Mr. Lu, please feel free to make yourself at home."

Su Wan Ning didn't pay much attention to him. She served Mu Xun a separate meal: braised pork, boiled sliced ​​pork, spicy stir-fried lotus root, stir-fried winter melon and dried shrimp, and a bowl of spinach and egg soup.

Each item was served in small portions, and Mu Xun was still eyeing the fish. "Aren't you going to give me some of this fish?"

The fish is first grilled and then stewed, with a layer of tofu at the bottom and chili peppers on top.

The broth was thick, and the tofu had turned a dark brown color.

It's sure to burst with juice when you bite into it.

"It's best to wait a few days before eating the fish; I'll cook something even better for you then."

Su Wan Ning refused without hesitation, telling him to try the dishes first, and then brought him a cup of mint chrysanthemum tea, saying, "You can drink this tea first, it's good for clearing heat and reducing internal fire."

Mu Xun had no choice but to agree, and first picked up a piece of boiled pork slices with his chopsticks.

The first taste is a familiar spiciness, which is then replaced by a strong numbing sensation, like ants crawling on your tongue and between your lips and teeth... But the tenderness of the meat and the aroma of peppers come in layers, rushing to the top of your head.

His voice trembled, "Is this medicinal cuisine really that delicious?"

He couldn't contain himself; he was so excited!

If he had known that medicinal cuisine was so delicious, why would he have drunk that bitter medicine soup?

"Oh, this isn't a medicinal diet, but you should gradually reduce the amount of spicy food you eat. Eating a little bit won't hurt."

Su Wan Ning tilted her hand slightly and pointed to the other dishes, "Winter melon and lotus root slices are both cooling and detoxifying, so you can eat more of them. Braised pork and spinach and egg soup are home-style dishes, used to replace the spicy dishes you usually eat. You can try them."

Mu Xun wasn't really looking forward to eating other dishes, but since the boiled pork slices were so delicious, he decided to give it a try.

His eyes swept over the dishes, and he quickly settled on the braised pork.

After a few bites, I piled the rice over the meat. "Delicious! This is the first time in a long time that I've found a non-spicy dish so tasty!"

Each grain of rice is distinct, coated in meat gravy, with large chunks of meat mashed up, and a spoonful is taken into the mouth.

Lu Ping didn't think being shameless was a bad thing; he just regretted eating that bowl of noodles! After eating two large bowls of rice, he actually felt full!

Looking at the few remaining dishes on the table, he wished he could take them all home, but he still had some sense of propriety.

"Madam Su, make sure the opening is a grand affair! I'm waiting!"

After saying that, he took out two taels of silver and placed them on the table. "This is for my meal. Don't think it's too little, Madam Su. You can come back to me for a taste of my cooking again sometime!"

"This money is enough for a meal at a restaurant; you're giving me too much."

Su Wanning exchanged a few polite words, and Lu Ping waved his hand and strode away.

Mu Xun praised as he ate, "With Su Niangzi's skills, there's no need to worry about the shop not becoming popular in the future. And as Su Niangzi's number one expert in medicinal cuisine, oh, it's truly an honor."

"So, Manager Mu has decided to buy my medicinal cuisine?"

Su Wan Ning smiled slightly.

The first business deal is coming right up!
