Chapter 18 Jealousy



Hearing Mr. Mu's question, Song Bo half-jokingly said, "Isn't there a saying, 'Three years of study, three years of work, and another three years of hard work'? I'm afraid it will take at least ten or eight years to become a master."

"Yes, so where did a thirteen-year-old 'Mrs. of the Marquis' learn such knife skills?"

The soft murmur was like a whisper, and it disappeared into the air before anyone could hear it.

Su Qingluan didn't know that because of her unintentional display of knife skills, some people had already begun to doubt her.

At this moment, she looked at the old man in front of her with some helplessness: "Mr. Xu, you are really...perseverant..."

It turned out that ever since the first day when Su Qingluan announced the "prize for guessing the seasoning recipe of 'Juan Bai Cai'", Xu Kekuan had been coming to guess every day without fail.

If you eat the same thing every day, you will get tired of it even if it is the liver and marrow of a dragon and the marrow of a phoenix. What's more, "Juan Bai Cai" is just a more delicious burrito.

After eating it for several days in a row, Xu Kekuan also felt a little indigestion.

Later, although the old man no longer ate the burritos, whenever someone came to challenge the "prize", he would stand by and discuss with them or give some advice.

The other guests came to guess the seasoning recipe as an entertainment to relieve boredom, but Mr. Xu seemed to be inspired by some fighting spirit. He came to the Su family's stall every day, as if he would not give up until he got his talent.

Later, seeing Mr. Xu going through so much trouble, the three members of the Su family decided to show the recipe to him. After all, the purpose of using the "secret seasoning" as a gimmick to attract customers had already been achieved, so there was nothing wrong with making the recipe public.

However, Mr. Xu was displeased when he heard this: "How can this be possible? If I don't guess it myself, what's the point?!"

Old Master Xu who said this was so angry that it made Su Qingluan see for the first time the image of an immortal in her mind collapse into pieces.

In desperation, I could only follow the old man.

However, as the popularity of the marketing gimmicks declined, the customer flow of "Juan Baicai" stabilized again, and the Su family gradually adapted to the daily work rhythm of setting up the stall, and they could close the stall and return to Huaxi Village around noon every day.

Just as she was about to open her stall one day, Aunt Yang next to her hurriedly called out to her, "Sister! The fresh fabrics I promised to save for you a few days ago just arrived today, and I haven't put them out to sell yet. Take your pick first!"

When Yang heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly called Su Qingluan who was busy on the side, gesturing to the lake green cloth and then the light red one.

Sometimes he muttered, "This color makes people look energetic and uplifted," sometimes he kept muttering, "This pattern makes the skin look white and bright," and sometimes he asked Su Qingluan, "Which color do you think is better for Erzhuang and Sanya?"

Su Qingluan looked at Yang's dazzled look and said helplessly, "Mother, my younger brothers and sisters look good in anything they wear. I'm not picky."

In fact, she had noticed a long time ago that although Su Guangfu and his wife had traces of frost on their faces due to the hardships of life, both of them had good foundations - Su Guangfu had handsome and resolute facial features and a handsome appearance; and Yang had a pair of slightly curved smiling eyes, so Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan were both very cute.

Therefore, although Su Qingluan has not seen her appearance clearly since she traveled through time because there is no smooth bronze mirror, she is most likely not ugly.

A good-looking person looks good in a sack, let alone newly bought cloth?

Even though this fabric is just ordinary and not as precious as silk and satin, it has fresh colors and exquisite patterns.

Finally, Su Qingluan selected three pieces of cloth, lake green, moon white and goose yellow, for her three children respectively. After thinking about it, she also bought a piece of apricot-colored cloth for Li's wife who had taken care of her two children these days.

After closing the stall that day, Yang asked her husband to take the stall home, and she and her eldest daughter went to deliver the cloth to pick up the two children, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan.

Li's daughter-in-law was sweeping the yard, while the two children were playing in the yard.

Seeing this, Yang hurriedly said, "Sister Guixiang! I'm here to take the child back!" As she spoke, she quickly and without hesitation placed the apricot-colored cloth on the rack for drying the grain.

Then he called to the two children: "Say goodbye to your Aunt Guixiang!" and pulled the children up to go out.

Sun Guixiang, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, was sharp-eyed and noticed in just a moment that Yang had thrown a piece of cloth in the yard.

The apricot-colored cloth had a light yellow pattern, a style I had never seen before, and was obviously new material.

Seeing this, she quickly dropped the broom she was sweeping with and chased after the cloth, shouting, "Sister-in-law Su is unacceptable! How could I take your things?"

The Su family lived next door to the Li family, and in the blink of an eye they chased into the Su family's yard. Then the two women started to dodge and maneuver over the issue of "whether to accept the cloth", as if they were masters fighting each other.

Su Qingluan was watching with great interest and even wanted to open a bag of melon seeds and sit down to eat them.

Su Xueyan heard the noise in the yard, and curiously poked her little head out, rubbed against her elder sister, and asked curiously, "What are Aunt Guixiang and Mother doing?" They looked very powerful.

Su Qingluan looked mysterious and said, "They are engaging in some kind of socializing."

After a while, the two women's push and pull had a result: Sun Guixiang accepted the apricot-colored cloth. Relatively speaking, the Su family was going to the Li family next door for dinner today.

The two families agreed to have dinner at 3:00 PM sharp. Yang turned around and asked Su Qingluan, "Daya, can you make the fish soup in an hour or so?" It happened that the freshly caught fish from yesterday were still in the tank.
