The Zhao family's daughter-in-law came out of the Su family's yard. As soon as she turned her head, the smile she had been trying so hard to maintain on her face finally couldn't be held back and fell.
Although she had tried her best to build relationships with him, Yang's reaction was always indifferent.
Obviously, Yang understood her intention to propose marriage, but she did not give in at all.
The Zhao family's daughter-in-law felt that her high spirits had faded a little.
But then I thought about what I had just seen, Yang's so-called "iron frying pan", and thought that the Su family's stall had only been open for more than a month, and they could earn so much money!
Thinking of this, Zhao's wife's heart became hot again.
Since my parents can't reach an agreement, as long as the eldest daughter of the Su family agrees, everything else will be a piece of cake, right?
If it really doesn't work, let my son and that little girl have their affair first, and then let them catch them in the act...
But my son has to like that girl...
Many vicious and sinister thoughts flashed through her mind, and the Zhao family's daughter-in-law quickened her pace towards home.
Upon entering the house, Yang glanced around the yard fearfully. Seeing that her husband was not there, she hurriedly pulled her son up from the bed, saying, "Son, I have something to tell you..."
As for Su Qingluan, she naturally didn't know the dirty thoughts in the mind of the Zhao family's daughter-in-law.
However, after she fell ill in her previous life, she saw too much of the brightness and darkness of human nature.
Su Qingluan understood that the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was able to come to her so casually even when the two families were basically at odds, just to marry her. Such a shameless person would not give up after being rejected by her mother once.
So even though her mother assured her that she would not marry her daughter into such a family, Su Qingluan still remained cautious.
From the day she learned that the Zhao family had their sights set on her, she had been secretly keeping an eye on the Zhao family's situation.
It’s true, this village is full of fellow villagers. Although the Zhao family is a bit far away from the Su family, they are not isolated from the world after all.
The Su family has always been kind to others and has good relationships with people. Young girls and wives are willing to talk to Yang about any family matters around them.
Su Qingluan paid close attention and actually found out some very important information.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was originally surnamed Chen. When Chen married her husband Zhao Youde, Zhao Youde was still a farmhand in a wealthy family in the town.
Later, Zhao Youde was kicked out of his master's house for his dishonest behavior and had to do odd jobs everywhere. Not only was his income much less than before, he even developed the bad habit of gambling.
Besides, Zhao Youde would drink when he lost a bet, and beat people when he was drunk.
The person who was beaten the most was his daughter-in-law Chen, and his son Zhao Tianbao was also beaten occasionally.
More than once, the villagers living around the Zhao family could hear the drunken Zhao Youde beating Chen until she screamed like a slaughtered pig.
Zhao Tianbao's personality is the exact opposite of his father's violent nature. He is a coward and afraid of things. In Sun Guixiang's words, "he can't take responsibility and his courage is smaller than a soybean."
In addition, he is lazy and likes to eat, spending the whole day doing nothing and wandering around. Even though he has a decent appearance, no one has proposed to him when he is eighteen.
After all, the Zhao family is a hell of a place for ordinary people, and there is no money to be coveted.
Therefore, whether they truly loved their daughter or wanted to sell her for money, they were unwilling to marry into the Zhao family.
When Su Qingluan heard the news, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching: Where did Chen get the confidence to think that her mother would agree to this marriage?
Although he had to secretly guard against any trouble from the Zhao family, he still had to run his own life.
Ever since the Su family bought a frying pan, Su Qingluan added "gold and silver spikes" to the "roll of a hundred fortunes", making the "roll of a hundred fortunes" seem more "worthy of the name".
The so-called "gold and silver ears" are nothing else but the egg whites and egg yolks are beaten separately, slowly fried in a frying pan to make yellow and white "omelets", which are then cut into thin strips and put into the "roll of wealth" like ears.
Because this omelet contains lard, it has a unique greasy aroma even when it is cold.
In addition, eggs are good for satisfying hunger, so even if the price of "Juan Bai Cai" increases by one cent per serving, the total price of two servings still increases by one cent. However, due to its more solid and rich taste, more customers buy it.
However, Su Qingluan understood that "Juan Baicai" had been sold in the town for nearly two months. She also understood that some sellers sent people to buy two portions every day just to study her seasoning method.
Although the current vendors selling burritos have not completely replicated her taste, they have each gained different inspiration from "Juan Baicai" and developed recipes with different flavors.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for diners, but it is a blow to the Su family's customer flow - although Mr. Xu Kekuan still shows up every day without fail.
It's also time to introduce new "snacks".
Taking advantage of the fact that some of the customers' attention had been attracted to the "Gold and Silver Spike" in recent days, Su Qingluan posted a message on the cloth banner in front of the stall: "New products will be launched in three days, welcome to try and buy them, 30% discount on the first day, and the original price will be restored on the second day."
Of course, the words were written by Mr. Xu himself. In his words, as long as he could have a share of any new food from the Su family, he would still be able to write these words.
Su Qingluan was left in tears and laughter by this naughty old man: he was obviously a foodie, but he was so particular about inexplicable things. It was both adorable and frustrating.
But she still nodded and promised: "Don't worry, since you insist on guessing the seasoning recipe every day, I will prepare one for you!"
"Hmph, I will be able to guess it soon..." The old man was still not convinced.
Aunt Yang, who was watching from the side, laughed and said, "Hey, old man, you should just treat this Miss Su's 'first prize' as a puzzle to relieve your boredom, but it's not worth it to get yourself sick from anger!"
Skinny Monkey also tried to persuade him with kind words, and finally persuaded the stubborn old man to go back to "Nong Mo Xuan".
When the stall was about to close that day, Su Qingluan saw an unexpected visitor - a middle-aged man with a round fat face, a mustache, a friendly smile, an apricot-yellow satin robe, and a small belly.
This person is none other than Liang Youdao, the owner of "Hongfulou".
Su Guangfu and his wife knew that their daughter had signed an agreement with Hong Fukou to sell the cookbook, but they never thought that she would be able to meet the owner in person. They were very surprised and stunned on the spot.
Instead, Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Manager Liang? What fragrant wind brings you here?"
Shopkeeper Liang laughed, like the Happy Buddha Maitreya.
He first greeted Su Guangfu and his wife, and then praised them for their good parenting skills and the elegant demeanor of Miss Su, saying many different things.
Su Guangfu and Yang had never seen such a scene before. Their faces flushed with shame, and they could only mumble, "I dare not, thank you for the compliment."
However, Su Qingluan understood that Fatty Liang was the type who would not do anything without profit, so she just let him throw New Year greetings at her without paying for anything, and she remained unmoved.
After a while, when Shopkeeper Liang finally stopped his rambling, he slowly asked, "Shopkeeper Liang, what exactly do you want to discuss? Why don't you just be frank?"
