After teaching her ignorant and arrogant brother a lesson, Su Qingluan turned around, put on an apron, and prepared to go to the kitchen to get busy.
Liu Yunniang often cooks at home. Although her cooking skills are certainly not as good as Su Qingluan, an expert, she is more nimble and dexterous, so she wants to at least help Su Qingluan.
Instead, Su Qingluan pushed her out of the kitchen, supported her shoulders, and said with a smile, "You'll officially start work tomorrow. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of work to do. But you should take a break today. Leave this to me—and my mother will help me later. She's probably gone to comfort my sister."
Sure enough, within a moment, Yang, who had calmed Su Xueyan down, came to the kitchen.
Seeing Su Qingluan busy processing the chicken she had just bought, she stared at her without blinking.
Even without looking up at Yang, Su Qingluan could sense someone was watching her. At first, she continued to work as if nothing had happened, but after a moment, she said helplessly, "Mother, I can't work if you stare at me like that."
Yang took the knife Su Qingluan used to scrape the pork skin and helped her scrape it herself, saying with a smile, "You usually smile so brightly, but I didn't expect that when you get angry, you can actually be quite intimidating."
Of course, Yang was not really afraid of Su Qingluan, she was just teasing her.
However, Su Qingluan was worried that the Yang family would be like other families she had seen, protecting the younger ones and thinking that the older ones should be more humble. So she patiently explained, "Even if Xuanhe's brothers are arrogant, perhaps they come from wealthy families, have family support, or are exceptionally talented. In short, they may have reason to be arrogant."
"But our Su family lacks power and financial resources, and Xuan He himself is still a child. If he develops an arrogant attitude at such a young age, it will not be beneficial to his future academic progress. As the saying goes, learn from the best of all, and there is always someone to learn from among three people. If he looks down on this and that, he will gradually look down on everyone."
In this way, whether it is the knowledge learned, the knowledge gained or the life experience, it will naturally form some incomplete deviations.
Although it is impossible for people to be completely free of prejudice, Su Qingluan thought that at least when Su Xuanhe was still young, he could have as much contact with people from different classes and with different perceptions as possible, so that he could have a more comprehensive understanding of the world around him.
Even if this cannot make Su Xuanhe a visionary person, at least he will be away from narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness.
In fact, there is something that is not easy to say out loud - maybe some of Su Xuanhe's senior brothers are just talking nonsense, and they are actually ordinary people like her silly brother.
But what does that have to do with Su Qingluan? Su Qingluan said that the lives of those strangers were not something she, a little girl, could control, and besides, she didn't want to care.
But these words cannot be spoken out loud.
Su Qingluan was still struggling to explain, but Yang smiled, wiped her hands on her apron, and touched Su Qingluan's shoulder. "You don't need to explain so much. 'An elder sister is like a mother.' You are the elder sister of the two younger ones. Even if you discipline them on our behalf, there is nothing wrong. Mother believes you know your limits."
This sentence made Su Qingluan put her heart at ease. She smiled and asked, "Mother, help me remove the skin. What should I do?"
"I made some dough this morning, and it should be ready by now. It's right under the windowsill." Yang pointed at the windowsill with her chin, "Let's steam buns today."
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "That's great. This stuff is made of leavened dough, so it's easy to digest. I bought a lot of fish and meat today, and I was worried that the two little ones would feel uncomfortable if they ate too much."
Yang also nodded and said, "I'll cook some millet porridge later. It's warm in nature and easy to digest. The girl from the Liu family just came here, so she might not be used to it. She won't feel uncomfortable eating this."
Su Qingluan nodded: "Mother is still thoughtful." As she spoke, Su Qingluan took out the dough that had already risen from the large basin - now that the weather was getting cooler, although the dough had been rising for a whole day, there was no sign of it being over-risen.
Su Qingluan poked her finger into the dough. It was soft and fluffy but not too watery, just right for steaming buns.
While she was steaming the meat dough, Yang, who had just finished skinning the meat and was starting to process the live fish, turned around and asked her, "Are you still going for that color today?"
Su Qingluan was confused: "What color?"
"It's the same color I made when I made the jade dumplings."
Su Qingluan was stunned: So you are talking about that time.
Yang sighed, "You know, these two little ones have become picky about food since they no longer have to worry about food and clothing. They don't eat much of white flour steamed buns that are bland and don't look special."
Children have a faster metabolism, and if they eat too little staple food at night, they will be hungry in the middle of the night.
In this era, there are naturally no snacks that can be put into the mouth at any time. Most of the snacks are candied fruits. If people eat those things as midnight snacks, it will cause excessive obesity. If these two little guys get tooth decay, it will be no joke - dentists in this era basically go to extract teeth!
Su Qingluan thought about it. Although she could be picky about food and skip a couple of meals, she was still a common person and couldn't bring herself to tell two little kids to "go hungry"—especially Su Xueyan...
Forget it, she thought of a way to get some toys so that the two children could play with them every day and exercise their bodies while burning off energy.
After physical exertion, you will naturally feel hungry.
