Chapter 412: My Mother Can Perform Magic
The four children immediately rushed towards their parents.
Shen Yuean pinched her nose and said in a strange voice: "Dad and Mom, why do you smell like fish? We have all finished taking a bath, and you should take a bath too!"
Su Tai laughed and deliberately rushed towards Shen Yuean, "I'll make you stink too!"
"Ahhh Daddy, help me!" Shen Yuean fled in panic. After shouting daddy, she realized something was wrong. Her father was also stinky, so she immediately turned around and ran towards where Shen Yuezhang was.
Shen Congyu joins the chaotic chase, and Shen Congrong helps Su Tai catch his younger brother and sister.
Make a mess.
Shen Yi looked at his wife and children lovingly, smiling happily and contentedly.
By the time the couple finished their shower, it was already completely dark.
Four children were obediently setting the table in the main room.
Su Tai took a look and quickly ran to the Fire Time and Space Food Street to order a table of beef hotpot set meals, then went to a certain Lao to buy two family buckets, as well as some French fries and various pies.
When she put these things on the table, the four children's eyes widened.
"Mom! Where did you get it from? How come we don't know about it?" Shen Yuezhang was surprised but also confused.
Su Tai winked at her, "Mom is a fairy, she can perform magic!"
Shen Yuezhang: “.”
"Mom, I'm eleven years old, not a child!"
Faced with her daughter's resentful eyes, Su Tai just smiled and refused to give a direct response.
Fortunately, Shen Yuezhang was not a person who liked to argue, so he did not ask any more questions and turned to talk about Ye. "As soon as my father left today, Mr. Zhou's wife came to the door and sent a large plate of braised meat, saying it was a special delicacy in the capital."
Su Tai took a look and said, "Did you give them a return gift?"
Shen Yuezhang lowered his head in embarrassment, "Mom, why don't you teach me how to cook, so that I can make something in return."
Su Tai nodded, "Okay! We have some yellow croaker at home, I'll steam it and send it over. Come with me to the kitchen."
Shen Yuezhang was eager to try.
Shen Yi immediately went over to help them deal with the big yellow croaker.
The other three children followed with French fries in hand.
Steaming large yellow croaker is very simple. All you need to do is clean the fish, add some ginger and steam it. If you don’t mind the fishy smell, you can keep the steaming soup. If you are not used to seafood, just pour out the soup. Put soy sauce and chopped green onions on it, and drizzle hot oil on it. It will definitely taste good.
Shen Yuezhang on the side said excitedly: "Mom, I have learned it all. Can I make a dish of fish myself?"
"Of course! Let your father help, I'll go deliver the fish." Su Tai smiled and put the fish into the basket and closed the lid to keep it warm.
There is a large insulated basket outside the basket, so the fish can still be warm when it is carried over.
The twins looked at each other, secretly packed two bags of French fries, some fried chicken nuggets, and two pies, and followed Su Tai silently.
It was not until they entered the Zhou family yard that Su Tai realized that their arms were bulging. She quickly stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
Her voice was a little loud, and everyone in the Zhou family ran out.
When the twins saw Zhou Yi and Zhou Xue, they immediately took out the things in their arms and said, "Come on, we brought you some delicious food!"
Su Tai took a look and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He handed the basket to Ye and said, "I heard you sent a plate of meat when you got back just now. This is the yellow croaker I steamed. You can have a taste."
"Oh! Mrs. Shen is so polite! We just cooked some meat casually, just right for you to try." Zhou's mother invited Su Tai to come in for dinner.
Su Tai shook her head and smiled, "My Chen Yi is also waiting for us to go back for dinner! I won't bother you tonight, you are welcome to come over and play tomorrow."
The twins held Zhou Yi and Zhou Xue's hands and said, "There are many delicious and fun things in my house. You must come over tomorrow. There are candies and biscuits."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely go!" Zhou Yi responded loudly.
Both Ye and Zhou Ran felt a little embarrassed.
Su Tai smiled happily and turned to look at the yard next door. "Mr. Chu, are you spending the night alone tonight?"
Zhou Ran hurriedly shook his head. "Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Chu to come over for a reunion dinner, but Mr. Chu said that his good friend in Dongmen Village was also alone. So he went to Dongmen Village to meet up with his good friend today and will be back tomorrow."
"I see!"
In that case, Su Tai decided not to go next door and returned the same way with the twins.
It’s no wonder that the village became much more festive with the red lanterns hung up. We met many villagers on the way, and the mother and her two children greeted each other all the way home.
As soon as the three of them arrived home, they found a plate of steaming steamed yellow croaker on the table.
Everyone was gathered and the whole family sat down.
As the head of the family, Shen Yi first picked up a piece of fish for Su Tai with his chopsticks before taking a bite himself.
Su Tai tasted it and nodded exaggeratedly, "Not bad! My daughter's cooking skills are really good! It's delicious!"
When the four children heard this, they all rushed towards the fish.
Shen Congrong imitated Su Tai and praised Shen Yuezhang a lot.
The twins were not to be outdone.
Shen Yuezhang gradually lost himself in the praise of his family and developed a strong interest in cooking.
The family finished their reunion dinner.
Shen Yicai asked about Liu Laosan's letter.
Su Tai showed him the letter directly, "This year, many merchants followed our example in trading seafood, but they encountered many problems. I heard that two caravans had accidents on the ice field, and lost a lot of people. Because of this, most caravans are unwilling to take risks again.
But everyone has tasted the deliciousness of seafood, so it is impossible for them to give up. Moreover, many people have become addicted to it. As a result, the number of reservations is increasing rapidly.
Xiaoxi obviously couldn't handle so many goods, and didn't dare to turn those distinguished guests away, so she could only push the matter to her godfather. Her godfather could refuse one but not dozens of them, so she could only ask the steward to register them.
The letter didn't go into such detail, but you see, the more the better, this word is intriguing enough! Godfather won't speak easily, but he said so, obviously there are some nobles who can't be offended, I have to get busy!"
If Shen Yi had not been the county magistrate, she might have hesitated for a few seconds. Now that Shen Yi is in the officialdom and their family has changed, they naturally have to consider Shen Yi's career and the future of their children.
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife! How about I discuss with Lord Lu about coming back to help you occasionally!" Shen Yi said with a conflicted look on his face.
Su Tai glared at him fiercely, "Why did you come back? Aren't you busy enough with the coal business? What's the situation over there now?"
Speaking of this matter, Shen Yiren became more serious, “We have been sending coal to the imperial capital non-stop this year. The higher-ups have issued orders to block the news, and many people in the county have tried to find out the news, but they were all stopped.
The good news is that it has created many opportunities for the people in the county to make money. The bad news is that the entire county is likely to be built on coal. In that case, even the county government office will have to move. These things will keep Lord Lu and I busy after the New Year. "
