"Uncle, we now use toilet buckets instead of outhouses. We each have a bucket. Mom told us to keep things clean." Su Ningjie lied seriously, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Kun understood after hearing this. No wonder the four brothers and sisters looked fairer than a few days ago and had changed into new clothes. This was what Madam Su taught them.
Lin Kun took his men to the woods outside to relieve themselves.
When Lin Kun and others came back, they saw Wang Sheng and others queuing up to wash their hands under Su Ningjie's arrangement.
In the kitchen.
After Xiao Lingyu prepared separate meals for Su Ningwen and Su Ningxi, he cooked half a pot of tomato and egg drop soup.
Su Ning'an looked at the half-full pot of tomato and egg drop soup and asked, "Mom, if Uncle Lin and the others ask, just say it's wild vegetable and egg soup?"
"Yes, it's almost done. Let's take it out."
Suning'an immediately took out a large pot of spicy stir-fried wild boar meat.
"Boss, you can't show your strength in front of others unless necessary. Go call Uncle Lin for help."
When Lin Kun, Zhang Qing and others came in, their eyes quickly locked on a large pot of steaming spicy stir-fried wild boar meat, and their eyes instantly lit up.
Zhang Qing frowned slightly when he saw this. Is it really that delicious? It smells quite fragrant.
Lin Kun asked, "Madam Su, do you want to take the pot out with you?"
Seeing Xiao Lingyu nod, Lin Kun took Zhang Qing forward and brought out a large pot of spicy stir-fried wild boar meat.
The others left the kitchen one after another, carrying two large bowls of rice and half a bowl of tomato egg drop soup.
Wang Sheng looked at the big pot of food in front of him and couldn't help but want to pick up his chopsticks. Mrs. Su actually cooked the wild vegetables so deliciously.
Xiao Lingyu came to the yard with a bowl of chili sauce. "What are you still standing there for? It tastes better when it's hot. This is the sauce I made with wild vegetables. If the wild vegetable and pork are not tasty enough, you can add some wild vegetable sauce."
Lin Kun no longer hesitated. He used the serving chopsticks to pick up two large chopsticks of spicy fried pork and stuffed them into the rice bowl, then ate it with big mouthfuls of rice.
The others followed Lin Kun's example and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Wang Sheng frowned slightly when he saw that they were eating without manners. After all, how could they be so rude in front of the princess?
Wang Sheng picked up the chopsticks and started eating gracefully. After taking two bites of the spicy fried pork, he no longer cared about being polite and started eating with big mouthfuls.
I didn’t expect this stir-fried meat with wild vegetables to be so delicious.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but smile. Food tastes better when you eat with big mouthfuls and drink soup with big mouthfuls.
Xiao Lingyu stuffed a bowl of rice into Su Xingyi's mouth, then took Su Ningxi and Su Ningwen to the main hall for dinner.
Seeing that two-thirds of the spicy fried pork in the pot was gone, Su Ningjie quickly filled a large bowl with spicy fried pork and handed it to Su Ningan.
"Brother, eat quickly, or you will be hungry if you don't have enough."
Su Ningjie poured another bowl of food and handed it to Su Xingyi, "Dad, you need to eat more so you can have more strength to exercise."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kun raised his head and glanced at Su Ningan, and saw that he was eating obviously faster than him, as if he was competing with them for food.
Lin Kun stroked his forehead. Su Xingyi had just finished his second bowl, but they had already finished their third bowl.
Lin Kun suddenly realized that if they ate so much, wouldn’t that mean they had eaten up the Su family’s food rations for several days?
Lin Kun put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly a few times at Zhang Qing and others.
Zhang Qing and the others had almost finished their meal, but the taste of this wild vegetable was just as strong as Lin Kun said, so they ate half a bowl of rice before putting down their chopsticks.
Seeing that Lin Kun and the others had put down their bowls and chopsticks, Wang Sheng thought they were full, so he quickened his meal.
During this time, he scooped a large spoonful of chili sauce into his own bowl. The more he ate, the more addicted he became. When he was about to pour another half bowl of rice, Lin Kun spoke up and gently reminded him:
"Master Wang, I came to the Su family a few days ago to deliver food. Madam Su has put a lot of effort into entertaining us today. If these wild vegetables can be sold in the county, the money we get can buy a lot of food."
Wang Sheng's heart skipped a beat. The Su family was still the target of support from the imperial court, but he had forgotten this for the sake of his momentary appetite.
Today they ate a big pot of wild boar meat fried with wild vegetables. I'm afraid there is not much wild boar meat left that the Su family picked up, or even none at all.
Wang Sheng felt very ashamed and put down his bowl and chopsticks calmly.
Su Ningan said, "Uncles, this wild vegetable egg drop soup is light and not greasy. You can try it. It will quench your thirst and fill your stomach."
After Su Ning'an finished speaking, he ate up the remaining food right under everyone's eyes.
Lin Kun didn't notice anything unusual, as there wasn't much leftover food to begin with.
Instead, they ate too much and the children didn't have enough.
Su Ningan drank several bowls of tomato and egg drop soup before he touched his bulging belly and said, "Uncles, have you finished your meal?"
"I'm done eating."
Wang Sheng stood up and looked towards the main hall. "Mrs. Su, thank you for your hospitality. Forgive my ignorance, but if we take these wild vegetables to the county and sell them, they will surely be popular among the people. Selling these wild vegetables can be considered a good business."
Xiao Lingyu slowly walked into the courtyard. "Master Wang, I'd like to know what the population of Xishui County is like? How many restaurants and taverns are there?"
Wang Sheng said, "Our Xishui County has three docks and convenient transportation. It's considered a large county within Huayang County, with a population of around 250,000. We have ten ornately decorated restaurants, fifty taverns, and countless small food stalls."
Xiao Lingyu asked, "This magnificently decorated and large-scale building is the Yulan Pavilion, right?"
"Yes, but the prices are relatively high. The restaurant that serves exquisite and delicious dishes is Luyuan Qionglou."
Xiao Lingyu asked, "I heard from the villagers that Luyuan Qionglou is very famous in Huayang County?"
Wang Sheng said, "Not only is it famous, it has more than a dozen branches in Huayang County. Students, teachers, and wealthy families from all over the county love to dine there. If Madam Su wants to come to the county to sell wild vegetables, we can go to the restaurant to help promote it."
Wang Sheng thought that they had eaten several days' worth of food from the Su family today, and the wild vegetables were so delicious, it would be embarrassing for them not to help promote them.
Xiao Lingyu said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Master Wang. However, we will try to sell the vegetables ourselves first. If we really can't sell them, we will trouble you to help us."
Wang Sheng curled his lips and smiled, "No problem, Madam Su, just come find us. It's getting late, and we need to hurry back to the county office to report to Lord Miao."
After Wang Sheng and others left, Xiao Lingyu took the eldest and second sons to clean up the kitchen, spread a layer of hay on the open space in the backyard, and picked about ten pounds of chili peppers and spread them evenly on the hay.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Su Ningjie asked with a puzzled look.
"Dry the chili peppers in the sun for a few days to dry out the moisture and you have dried chili peppers. They are delicious when used to stir-fry vegetables or make soup. Then you can sell three kinds of chili peppers and make three times the profit."
Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mother, you are really smart. How are we going to sell it in the county?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Ningjie. Since he wanted to make a lot of money so much, he had to first let him know that money is not so easy to make.
For the time being, I will not use the connections in the government office and will use the most basic sales model to sell these two ingredients.
Let him run himself to pieces and talk his mouth off, and see what his character is like.
