Chapter 30: Melting Iceberg
Shen Yueyao thought about it carefully. In her memory, Su Daya was also a bit arrogant. When she was going to be a maid in a wealthy family, perhaps she had different thoughts in mind.
Moreover, she worked as a maid and received a monthly salary, but she never asked anyone to bring it back to Madam Meng and the others.
She had asked Mrs. Meng indirectly before, and Mrs. Meng said that Daya was often wronged when working for others, and she used her monthly salary to build relationships.
Make arrangements. Su Daya goes there to work and make money, so what kind of relationships does she need to make?
But this is just her guess.
…
After picking a lot of willow buds and filling their backpacks and baskets, the family went back.
After picking so many, in addition to using them for cooking, Shen Yueyao also planned to use the willow buds to make buns.
On the way back, Su Erya was a little silent.
Shen Yueyao still likes the little girl Su Erya very much. She is diligent, sensible and has a good temper.
She also didn't want her to get stuck on the rumors.
"What's wrong?"
Su Erya muttered, "Aunt San, do you think Sister Daya would really do something like that?"
Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"
She knew that Erya also had doubts in her heart.
Su Erya whispered, "I...I don't really want to believe it, but I can't help but think about it. When Sister Daya learned about our Su family's past, she felt very upset."
"She thinks she should be the daughter of a marquis and has a noble status. Sometimes she feels that some of the sisters in the village are not qualified to talk to her normally."
"She also said that with her beauty, she could become the young lady of a wealthy family..."
Su Erya didn’t take some of the things she said before to heart.
But at this moment, I couldn't help but think of what Su Daya had said.
The corners of Shen Yueyao's mouth twitched.
When she went to Old Madam Meng before, Su Daya didn't call her. Did she mean to look down on her?
Shen Yueyao could understand Su Daya's mentality, but she felt that Su Daya still didn't understand some social customs.
She knew that Su Daya's mother had returned to her family with a divorce letter and did not have to be exiled with the Su family.
Could it be that Su Daya still expects her mother to take care of her?
Shen Yueyao thought about the speculation in her heart and couldn't help shaking her head.
All I can say is that Su Daya doesn’t understand the rules of this society and doesn’t understand human nature.
Now that the Su family is no longer a marquisate and cannot offer any benefits, why should Su Daya enter a wealthy family and become a young lady?
If Su Xueyi's leg is fine and her imperial examination scores continue to improve, it at least means that the Su family has the potential to restore its former glory.
But now Su Xueyi's leg is broken, and the Su family's situation is like this.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Su family can't bring them any benefits.
Su Daya took it for granted.
"Er Ya, do you feel that Daya won't listen to some of the things you say to her?"
Su Erya nodded.
Ever since Sister Daya came back from the provincial capital, it seemed that even she looked down on her. Sometimes when she talked to Sister Daya, Sister Daya always looked disgusted.
Shen Yueyao was not surprised.
It's impossible to reason with Su Daya's personality.
Only she can understand some truths sooner.
Shen Yueyao said, "Er Ya, don't learn from your elder sister, Da Ya. People should strive to look forward and live hard, but don't think about going astray. Do you understand?"
Su Erya nodded and said, "Aunt San, I understand."
Su Erya felt warm in her heart, and felt that her Third Aunt said these words because she cared about her.
"Also, you can draw and learn things quickly. I'll teach you how to do accounting and other things later. As long as you want to learn, I'll teach you."
As for Su Daya, if she doesn't change her temper, Shen Yueyao won't teach her.
Of course, she knew that Su Daya was so arrogant that she might not want to cook.
Su Erya nodded gratefully.
She knows that it is good to learn more.
When the group returned home, Su Xueyi came back.
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao and took the initiative to speak in a gentle voice: "Are you back?"
Shen Yueyao nodded.
"Well, I just went to the river to pick willow buds."
These days, she and Su Xueyi would also have a few simple words.
She could feel that Su Xueyi's attitude towards her had softened a little.
But if the ice has melted, that hasn't happened yet.
She knew that the reason why he treated her better was probably because she was good to her family.
Shen Yueyao didn't bother to talk to Su Xueyi any more, she had to hurry up and make lunch.
As soon as Su Erya entered the yard, she smelled the fragrance of rice. She instantly forgot everything else and said with a radiant look on her face, "Aunt San, it's the smell of rice. It smells so good."
Shen Yueyao naturally smelled the fragrance as well.
Shen Yueyao cooked rice and put spiritual spring water in the rice, so the cooked rice tasted particularly fragrant.
Smelling this fragrance, Shen Yueyao didn't know why, but she really felt hungry.
This body is a little fat and eats a lot.
Even though Shen Yueyao tried hard to control herself these past few days, she found that she got hungry easily and needed more food energy.
Fortunately, she felt that she had lost a little weight after these few days of recuperation.
"First, pour out the rice and cover it with a lid to keep it warm. We'll make the kudzu root vermicelli first."
Su Erya didn't even know what vermicelli was.
Even if Su Xueyi heard it, she wouldn't know.
He had never heard of the food cooked by Shen Yueyao, and he had never eaten it even when he was a child in the Marquis' Mansion.
But there is a magical feeling, that is, no matter what is in Shen Yueyao's hands, as long as she can make it, she can turn it into a delicacy.
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao and Su Erya busying themselves and said, "Let me light the fire."
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, but nodded and said, "Okay, we do need to light a fire."
Shen Yueyao first took out a container, filled it with kudzu root powder and water, and stirred it evenly.
While Shen Yueyao was busy, Su Xueyi took some firewood and sat in front of the stove. She used the sparks from the stove to light the firewood and boil the pot.
After the pot was hot, Shen Yueyao stirred it just right, and then poured the starch into the pot.
Shen Yueyao said to Su Xueyi: "That needs to be cooked on low heat."
Su Xueyi said gently, "Okay."
Su Xueyi turned the stove to low heat to heat the pot.
Remove from the pan after frying the round pancakes.
Shen Yueyao fried one more.
You can make a whole dish by frying one in a large pan.
Su Erya exclaimed in amazement, "Aunt San, I didn't expect that kudzu root powder could be made into cakes."
"This isn't called a pancake, this is called vermicelli. Come and take a look. The texture is completely different."
Su Erya came over to take a look and found that it was indeed different.
Now Dabao and Erbao are not as afraid of Shen Yueyao as they were at the beginning.
They would also quietly approach the pot to see how the food was cooked.
And you can smell the aroma around the pot.
Both of them like to smell the fragrance.
Su Erya didn’t know what vermicelli was, but she thought it must be delicious.
I don’t know what it tastes like.
But she remembered that Third Aunt said she wanted to cook, so she thought for a moment and said, "Third Aunt, do you want to cut it?"
Shen Yueyao said, "Put it aside for a while and cut it after it cools down."
After taking out the two pancake-shaped vermicelli noodles, Shen Yueyao began to stir-fry the onions, ginger, and garlic, and added seasonings to adjust the taste.
After frying, remove from the heat and place in a bowl.
Later, the soup will be poured onto the cut vermicelli and it will become a dish.
But the vermicelli is not cold yet, so it will take a while before you can cut it.
Shen Yueyao took advantage of this time to make scrambled eggs with willow buds.
