Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Surprised Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Surprised The spatula was clean, so there was no need for Su Yunjin to wash it again.

Also, Su Yunjin took a look and noticed that the Fuman Building’s seasonings were particularly abundant, far more so than when she cooked in the village.

With so many spices and ingredients available, the dishes she would make here were bound to be twice as delicious as those she made at the Gu Family’s home.

Back at the Gu Family’s residence, there weren’t many seasonings available, so Su Yunjin’s spiced pig’s blood was simple. But now, with all the complete spices and ingredients, Su Yunjin planned to make the two dishes she excelled at in modern times–one was spicy pig’s blood and the other was cilantro pig’s blood soup.

There wasn’t much pig’s blood that Su Yunjin had brought with her, just one bowl. To make two dishes, she needed to use it sparingly. She found a dish, divided the pig’s blood she brought into two portions, and began cooking.

The cilantro pig’s blood soup was simple, so Su Yunjin decided to start with the more challenging dish, the spicy pig’s blood. Once the spicy pig’s blood was ready, she would make the cilantro pig’s blood soup.

Proficiently using the knife to cut one portion of the pig’s blood into small pieces for later use, Su Yunjin began pouring oil into the heated pan.

When the oil temperature reached about 80-90 percent heat, she added the prepared Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, green onion segments, minced ginger, and minced garlic to the pan to fry until fragrant. Then she added water to the pan, and once the water was hot, she poured in the pig’s blood that had been cut into pieces earlier to boil. To prevent the blood from breaking down, Su Yunjin simply shook the pan left and right without using the spatula to stir.

While the pig’s blood was boiling, Su Yunjin went to prepare the sauce. When the dish was ready to be served, she would pour the sauce she had prepared into it, making it especially fragrant to taste.

Manager Liu had been working as a manager in Fuman Building for several years and could tell whether a dish was delicious just by its scent. The aroma emanating from the pan of boiling pig’s blood made Manager Liu look at Su Yunjin with a changed expression.

What started as skepticism turned to curiosity!

Could this young lady indeed make the pig’s blood taste good?

Su Yunjin disregarded Manager Liu’s scrutinizing gaze. She was particularly serious when cooking, and after finishing the spicy pig’s blood, she continued to boil the cilantro pig’s blood soup.

Cilantro pig’s blood soup was simple–she chopped fresh cilantro, sliced some fresh meat, and white tofu, then boiled the meat and tofu in water for a while. Midway through, she added wood ear mushrooms and pig’s blood to boil together. Once ready, she added salt, chopped green onions, and cilantro before taking it out of the pan.

After the pig’s blood soup was done and she had wiped her hands clean, Su Yunjin walked over to Manager Liu with a smile, “It’s ready, Manager Liu. I’ve finished cooking the dishes!”

As Su Yunjin was cooking, everyone brought over by Manager Liu became curious and couldn’t help but gather around to watch, eager to see what kind of fine dishes this countrywoman could create.

“Since it’s ready, bring both dishes here for me to taste,” Manager Liu said.

Su Yunjin nodded, “Just a moment, Manager Liu, I’ll bring the dishes right over to you.”

Manager Liu went to sit at an empty table outside the kitchen, and Su Yunjin brought the two pig’s blood dishes to him one after the other, then passed him a clean set of bowl and chopsticks.

“Manager Liu, the two dishes I made are spicy pig’s blood and cilantro pig’s blood soup. Please try them!”

Manager Liu first looked at Su Yunjin, then picked up a piece of spicy pig’s blood with his chopsticks to eat.

Su Yunjin’s spicy pig’s blood was both numbing and spicy, smooth and tender in the mouth. The freshly cooked blood was still hot, making it extremely refreshing to eat. After finishing, Manager Liu immediately looked at Su Yunjin with a surprised gaze.

“Young lady, I did not expect this pig’s blood to be made so deliciously!”
