But she didn't expect that this simple-looking fried fish tasted so good. After finishing the housework, she would call Lin Changting and go to the river together to catch more so that they could eat enough at once.

In the main room.

Xue Jingran sat there seriously. He hadn't originally thought about eating the fried fish that Lin Yunchu made specially for Lin Changan and Xue Jingyao.

In his opinion, this was just a snack that Lin Yunchu made for the children, and he felt embarrassed to snatch the food from Lin Changan and his younger sister.

But he looked at Lin Changan and Xue Jingyao who were sitting at the table and eating happily. He saw that the two of them ate without even raising their heads. The room was quiet, with only the sound of the two people chewing their delicious food.

Smelling the aroma of fried fish cakes wafting from time to time, even he, who had eaten many famous dishes, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He didn't know how Lin Yunchu made the fried fish, why it smelled so good. Yipintang had fried dishes on a daily basis, and he had eaten them all, but none of them made him so uncomfortable.

Lin Yunchu walked into the main room with chili powder in her hand. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xue Jingran's appearance at the moment. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she immediately covered her mouth and chuckled.

He put the chili powder in his hand on the table, picked up the small bowl on the side, picked up two fried fish and placed it in front of Xue Jingran, then pushed the chili powder over to him.

She opened her lips slightly and said, "Master Xue, please try it too. It's a good opportunity for you to give me some advice. This is also my first time making it."

Lin Yunchu didn't want to expose his thoughts at the moment, and found an excuse for Xue Jingran. Then she pointed at the chili powder she had just pushed over and said softly, "You can also try dipping it in this chili powder. It tastes even better."

Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Xue Jingran raised his eyes. After a brief silence, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded in agreement with Lin Yunchu's words.

Then he picked up a small fish and took a bite. He knew it was delicious just by smelling the fragrance, but he didn't expect that the taste was much better than he imagined.

He just felt that the fried fish in his mouth was crispy and crunchy, without any fishy smell. His mouth was full of crispy fragrance. Then he dipped it in some chili powder that Lin Yunchu brought over.

I was even more surprised after taking a bite. The fried fish dipped in chili powder had a hint of spicy flavor and unique aroma.

When mixed with the burnt aroma of fried fish, it is so delicious that you even want to swallow your tongue.

Only then did he understand why the two little ones in front of him were eating so enthusiastically. They couldn't help but eat another one of such delicious food.

After Xue Jingran finished eating the fried fish in his hand, he suddenly had an idea. He thought that such delicious food could be introduced as a new dish in Yipintang, so that he could eat it in the future.

Thinking of this, Xue Jingran took the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped his oily hands carefully. Then he raised his head and smiled at Lin Yunchu and said:

"Miss Lin, I didn't expect this small fish could be cooked so deliciously. Otherwise, I'll ask the kitchen staff at Yipin Pavilion to try it. I think many people will like it."

Lin Yunchu was a little surprised that this fried fish would be praised so highly by Xue Jingran and he even wanted to launch it as a new dish of Yipintang.

This was the first time she had made fried fish. She had just seen the fish Lin Changan had caught, but she didn't know what dish to make, so she simply made fried fish as a snack to satisfy their cravings.

If this were to be launched in Yipintang, it would probably be too simple and lack some variety. After all, Yipintang is now the largest restaurant in town.

The people who came and went in the restaurant were all well-known wealthy gentry in the town. Lin Yunchu thought for a moment and said to Xue Jingran, "If we want to launch new dishes, we can't do it like this. Let me think about it. When I have thought it through in a few days, I will go to Yipin Pavilion to see Manager Zhou."

After a pause, he continued, "When you return, Master Xue, just tell Shopkeeper Zhou about it. I'll keep this in mind."

She has to be busy harvesting potatoes in the fields these days, and then she will recruit people to work in the workshop. This is the most important thing in the near future. After she finishes this, she will think carefully about what Xue Jingran just said.

Xue Jingran nodded. Lin Yunchu would be very busy recently, so he naturally knew it was about the workshop. He had been waiting for this potato flour for a long time.

I just followed Lin Changan to take a look around the workshop next door, and now I am looking forward to what will happen next.

Then he nodded to Lin Yunchu and said that he would send someone to mention this matter to Manager Zhou when he returned.

Looking at Lin Yunchu's back as he walked out, Xue Jingran couldn't help but pick up another fried fish, dipped it in some chili powder and started eating. He didn't expect that this thing was so addictive that he couldn't help but eat another one after eating it.

Since someone had stayed for dinner, Lin Yunchu hurried back to the kitchen and started preparing lunch. After lunch, the brother and sister would have to rush back to town, so they couldn't delay any longer.

Seeing that his sister-in-law Pan Xiuxiu had already washed the wild vegetables she picked today, as well as the eggplants she picked from the vegetable garden in her backyard, Lin Yunchu looked around at the things in his kitchen and started to get busy.

After a while, Lin Yunchu prepared four dishes and a soup.

Tofu and egg pancakes, minced meat and eggplant, stir-fried meat with sauerkraut, pork ribs with potatoes, and mixed mushroom soup.

"Uncle Lin and Auntie are here, let's wait a little longer."

Xue Jingran looked at the silence in the Lin family yard, the steaming food still on the table, and Lin Yunchu's voice urging them to eat first, and quickly refused.

Although he was born in the Xue Mansion, he was a guest at the Lin family after all. The host had not returned yet, so it was not right for them to eat first.

After hearing what Xue Jingran said, Xue Jingyao sat down obediently and did not touch the dishes on the table. Although the food on the table smelled really good, she still held back.

Lin Yunchu looked at the two of them and chuckled softly, then quickly explained:

"They are busy in the fields and won't come back to eat. My sister-in-law has already packed the food and sent it to the fields right after the meal was ready. You don't have to worry."

"There's nothing delicious at home. I just made whatever I could find. It's just simple food. I hope you don't mind it."

When Xue Jingran heard this, he immediately calmed down, raised his head and looked around the yard. Indeed, he heard no sound and did not see Pan Xiuxiu.

He opened his mouth towards Lin Yunchu and said, "Miss Lin, you're joking. We are lucky to be able to eat the dishes you cook yourself. Your cooking skills are not something you can enjoy every day."

Only then did he listen to Lin Yunchu's words and started eating.

After lunch, Xue Jingran didn't stay long and rushed back to town with Xue Jingyao who was reluctant to leave.

Lin Yunchu looked at Xue Jingyao and comforted her, "Next time when we return to Chang'an, if we catch some more small fish, I'll send some to you when I go to town."
