With a soft 'whoosh', an indescribable aroma instantly filled the air—the passionate collision of scallions and garlic under high temperature, the perfect fusion of oil and plant, the fragrance layered upon layer, both intense and delicate.

The entire kitchen seemed to be enveloped by this smell.

Song Chengde sniffed it. He felt that the smell was a little unusual at first, but it was alright later.

And this little girl, she's clever and loves to experiment with food.

Just as the scallions and garlic were about to change color, Ali scooped them all out.

Then, the chopped tofu was thrown in.

After pouring the tofu into the oil, you shouldn't move it immediately, nor should you move it too late.

When it's almost done, use a spatula to push it around at the bottom to prevent it from sticking together.

Once the tofu turns yellow, releases its aroma, and floats to the surface, fry it for a little longer before taking it out of the pan.

Ali added some homemade seasoning to the tofu and said to Song Chengde, "Here, try it."

Song Chengde emerged from the shadows and took the bowl of fried tofu that Ali handed him.

It's a little hot, but it smells delicious. When you bite into it, you can taste the freshness of tofu, and it's also very crispy.

Ahri looked at him expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

Song Chengde nodded and said, "Not bad, very delicious."

The way he spoke wasn't exaggerated, but it was very genuine.

Ahri laughed, a very happy laugh.

She continued preparing the fried tofu, saying, "Some can be sprinkled with salt, and some can be added with broth; they're all delicious."

Seeing Ah Li's energetic appearance, Song Chengde continued eating.

Ali also said that she would make him fried meat and fried ribs later.

Of course, Ahri also cooked mung bean soup later. Eating too much of freshly fried food can cause internal heat.

When Dong Yue returned, Ali had finished his work and was asleep in the house.

Dong Yue smelled the aroma of fried tofu and rendered lard in the room. She smiled and pushed open the door to look at the person sleeping inside. This child is always tinkering and coming up with new ideas.

Neither the tofu pudding nor the fried tofu tonight were taught to her; she just made them on her own.

The next day, fried tofu sold very well, and tofu pudding was also available.

But I'm really busy.

Thankfully, we can close up shop once we're sold out.

Ahri really enjoys this busy and fulfilling life.

After closing up shop, Ali said to Dong Yue, "Mom, a friend of mine said he also has a shop and asked us to go and take a look. He's an acquaintance, so he shouldn't suddenly raise prices."

Dong Yue looked at Ali and said, "Ali made friends so quickly?"

"Um."

Dong Yue didn't press further. She said, "If the location is suitable, we'll move there. However, we'll also let them know so we can go and take a look together."

"good."

At this moment, Ali looked outside the stall and, sure enough, Song Chengde was there. However, he didn't come over himself; instead, he sent an old man with him over.

Song Chengde's lips moved slightly, as if to say, "Go."

The old man walked over and said, "Young lady, do you want to go see it now?"

Dong Yue was slightly taken aback. This person was the manager of the company where she had worked before.

Could the friend her daughter mentioned be someone from the Song family? But when did they meet...? Dong Yue looked at Ali.

Ah Li looked at Dong Yue with a puzzled expression, wondering why her mother would suddenly look at her.

Dong Yue asked, "Daughter, what's your friend's name?"

Ah Li didn't know; she hadn't even asked Song Chengde.

She quickly looked towards Song Chengde's direction.
