Nuan's father brought a large bowl of hot and sour rice noodles with extra spicy chili oil to his second grandfather, turned around and asked with a smile.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious! It's even better than the pork we eat during Chinese New Year!"
A simple and honest man, holding the back of his head, spoke shyly.
"It's delicious, right? Don't you see how much oil is put into this bowl of vermicelli?"
The person speaking is this man's wife. Because their family is poor, they usually cook with barely any oil. Seeing this woman finish her hot and sour noodle soup bowl with a layer of oil, her heart aches.
Hearing her say this, the other women nodded in agreement.
"What's so special about this? This oil is made from the flowers we grow at home. Not only is it delicious, but it's also free."
Grandma brought out a transparent glass bottle from the kitchen. The bottle was filled with golden translucent oil, which immediately attracted the attention of several women.
"Why is this oil so shiny? Aunt Liu, your oil is even better than the overpriced oil we see at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Of course, it's mainly because our flowers are good. They are grown with the special fertilizer that our husband Nuanbao made himself. Not only are the flowers big and high-yielding, but the oil we squeeze out is several times more than what we used to get from growing flowers in our village!"
As if she was afraid that the others wouldn't believe her, grandma went back to the kitchen and took out a small basket of squash, stuffing a handful into each of them.
Several people were dumbfounded when they looked at the big and beautiful petals in their hands.
This flower has grown too big, oh, look at it, there are four or five big flower seeds in each flower, wow, such good flowers, if they are taken to the black market, they will definitely be sold at a high price.
Several people looked at the flowers in their hands, as if looking at great unity, their eyes becoming more and more scorching.
Seeing everyone showing such an expression, grandma was satisfied and cast an inviting look at Nuanbao.
Nuanbao happily gave grandma a thumbs up, and in return grandma raised her chin proudly.
"Auntie, do you have any extra flower seeds? I'd like to borrow some so I can plant them in my own plot of land in the spring."
"Of course, why not! Oh, by the way, when you're planting, it's best to come to our Nuanbao and get some of that special fertilizer. It's really good!"
Several families nodded in agreement on the surface, but in their hearts they did not believe in Nuanbao's special-effect fertilizer. Only they themselves knew it.
Several families finished eating the potato flour in their hands, and helped with the work for a while. They didn't leave the Liu family until all the potatoes for the day were harvested.
"Hey, my dear wife, the Liu family made so many vermicelli noodles, are they going to sell them on the black market?"
"You're talking nonsense! Who wouldn't have so many vermicelli noodles to show off? They must be selling them. Don't forget, the Liu family has connections up there. They can buy anything on the black market, right?"
The other person also missed it. Every now and then a car would come to Lao Liu's house to do things, and he couldn't help but show an envious look on his face.
"Hey, the Liu family is really going crazy. Each one of them is more capable than the other! People used to say that the third Liu was a nobody, and all he did was mess around. But I think the third Liu is even more capable than the eldest and second brothers. Look at the Liu family now, everyone who comes here is a big boss!"
