Chapter 34 After Dinner



Seeing that no one was paying attention, Su Xuanhe whispered in Su Qingluan's ear, "Sister, are we still going to perform that scene?"

Su Qingluan heard this and was speechless: "Probably... it's not necessary."

When she was washing her hair just now, she heard Yang mutter, "I just heard your father say that the kid from the Zhao family was talking nicely, but suddenly he ran away like he saw a ghost. He's really evil..."

"..." That "ghost" might not be her. Su Qingluan immediately understood that this coward must have been scared away by her.

Although it was different from the original plan, the goal was finally achieved.

But Su Qingluan felt inexplicably unhappy: Is she that scary?

But it doesn't matter, it saves us from having to put on another scene.

Seeing Su Xuanhe's disappointed face, Su Qingluan smiled and pinched her cheek: "Don't worry, I won't stop you from eating chicken later~"

Looking back at the chicken, Su Qingluan felt that it was almost time, so she tore the remaining mushrooms into pieces and threw them into the chicken soup to continue stewing.

After a while, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Qingluan turned around and began to roll the small dough that had been pinched into a dough into an oval-shaped pancake with a small rolling pin. She brushed a layer of chicken oil on it, rolled it into a thin roll, and then tied it into a twisted knot.

With a flip of his hand, he pressed the twisted dough into a small porcelain bowl filled with sesame seeds, so that the surface was covered with sesame seeds.

After boiling all ten doses in sesame oil, Su Qingluan took off the chicken soup and added the iron frying pan.

While working, Su Qingluan muttered to herself: I'll need a few more stoves in the future, otherwise it will be too busy to prepare stir-fried dishes, soups and steamed staple foods at the same time.

Su Qingluan found out clearly that if she wanted to buy a comfortable house in the town for the whole family to live in, and it had to be in a prosperous area with convenient access, it would cost at least two hundred taels.

Although she had thirty taels in her hand, it was only the "peak effect" of the new product in the first few days after it was launched. In the long run, it would be considered good if she could get a dividend of fifty or sixty taels every month.

In addition, if we want to develop new dishes now, our expenses will inevitably increase greatly, so we may not be able to buy a new house in the short term.

But she could use the money she had to renovate this somewhat dilapidated farmhouse - the most important thing was to make the kitchen more spacious so that she could work more conveniently.

Thinking of this, Su Qingluan did not stop her hands.

She brushed a layer of chicken oil on the iron frying pan and the dough, then rolled the twisted dough into a thin pancake and placed it on the frying pan.

As the sesame seeds popped, an intoxicating aroma of flour mixed with oil wafted into the air.

Not to mention that the two children, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, had already been having stomach rumblings, even the two adults, Yang and Su Guangfu, couldn't help but sniff diligently.

"What did sister make? It smells so good!" The little girl stretched her neck to look towards the kitchen.

Yang joked, "Whatever your sister cooks is delicious." As she said that, she put the selected wild vegetables in a basket - she and Su Guangfu were sitting in the yard, preparing to set up a stall tomorrow.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Su Qingluan said loudly, "Dinner is ready!"

"I'll go help my sister carry the dishes!" The little girl ran towards the kitchen like a flash.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Su Xuanhe also followed.

Seeing that her younger brothers and sisters came to help, Su Qingluan felt relieved and left the tasks of serving bowls, dishes and setting the table to them.

Today's dinner seems simple, with a big pot of chicken soup in the middle and two large pancakes for each person.

Su Xueyan couldn't help but take the first bite of the sesame cake and exclaimed: "Sister, the cakes you made are layered!"

As he said this, he tore open the layered pancake and showed it to his parents and brother.

Su Qingluan nodded and asked with a smile, "Does it smell good?"

"It smells so good!" Su Xueyan nodded vigorously.

She took a bite and her face was covered with sesame seeds. When she nodded, the sesame seeds stuck to her face scattered all over the table.

"You can eat from that bowl." Yang smiled and pushed the bowl to her younger daughter.

Su Qingluan smiled as she watched her sister eating like a cute little hamster. Turning around, she saw her brother eating too fast and swallowing half a pancake in one breath, causing his face to turn red from choking.

Su Qingluan had no choice but to serve him half a bowl of chicken soup.

Unexpectedly, Su Xuanhe was impatient and drank the chicken soup without waiting for it to cool down, and his eyes were filled with tears from the burn.

Su Qingluan was speechless: "There is a layer of oil on top of the chicken soup. You see it is not steaming, but it is actually very hot underneath. Eat it slowly!"

As he spoke, he also filled a small half bowl, picked up the spoon, blew on it carefully to cool it down, and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, the unique fragrance of mushrooms mixed with the richness of chicken soup spread across Su Qingluan's tongue.

It is indeed a pure natural mushroom, the richness of its fragrance is incomparable to that of modern cultivated mushrooms!

Su Qingluan can use her nearly twenty years of cooking experience to guarantee that this bowl of chicken soup stewed with mixed mushrooms is more delicious than any time she had it in her previous life!

There is a saying that is indeed true - delicious ingredients often only require the simplest processing methods.

However, for the other members of the Su family, sesame pancakes were obviously more attractive to them.

Yang tore open the pancake, feeling the layers of texture, and exclaimed, "I never knew this chicken pancake could be so crispy and delicious!"

To be more precise, the Su family didn't have an iron pot before, so their staple food was steamed or stewed, so this time, the pancakes full of burnt aroma were a more novel experience for them.

After dinner, Su Qingluan went to Yang and Su Guangfu's house and told her parents about the banknotes and the long-term cooperation that Boss Liang had said today.

"I think it's a good idea," Su Qingluan said frankly, "If we sell a few recipes, we can make our family better off."

"And when our family has some assets, we can open a restaurant of our own." This was also Su Qingluan's original goal - she mastered cooking skills, so she would not be in a passive position if she opened her own restaurant.

"Opening it in town?" Yang was a little worried. "The town is so big, won't it cause a conflict with Hongfulou?"

"What Daya means is that we should open a store in a larger provincial capital." Su Guangfu said affirmatively.

Seeing Su Qingluan nodded, he advised: "Daya, you have the ability, and Daddy won't say much. But if you want to open a restaurant in the provincial capital, it's not a small matter, so you must be prepared."

Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Father, I just want to open a restaurant, but I didn't say I'd go into the city right away. Besides, we have a lot of expenses with just thirty taels, so there's no rush."

As she spoke, Su Qingluan told her parents about her idea of ​​using the banknotes to renovate the Su family's house.

"That's great. Let's wait until the weather gets cooler in the fall and then we can repair the house. Maybe we'll be able to endure this winter better." Yang nodded with a smile.

When Su Qingluan heard what Yang said, her heart skipped a beat.
