Chapter 158: We will be sisters in the future
Finally, Su Yi finished painting Sun Ling'er's portrait. Before Sun Ling'er herself had time to appreciate it, her grandfather held the portrait in his arms to admire it first, with an expression of unstoppable satisfaction.
"Great, great, the painting is indeed good, it really captures the essence of the painting!"
Sun Linger stood up from the chair and ran to her grandfather:
"Grandpa, don't just admire it yourself, let me see it too!"
"Oh, yes, yes, take a look, do you like it?" Sun Beidou handed the painting to Sun Ling'er.
When Sun Ling'er saw it, her eyes flashed with surprise. The portrait of herself was just like looking in a mirror. It was too similar. The light yellow color she was wearing today perfectly captured her playful and lively look.
“It’s a really nice painting.”
Sun Ling'er couldn't help but admire it. She really liked it. She watched it over and over again, and liked it more and more.
At dinner time, Su Wan made a classic dish of braised pork, braised fish, roasted rabbit, spicy chicken, braised pork head, and a hot pot of lamb. It was extremely sumptuous.
I picked some red peppers from the mountain and ground them into ten pounds of pepper powder and ten pounds of dried pepper segments. I pickled some of the green peppers in a jar and dried some into white peppers. Not a single bit was wasted.
The chili powder is fried in oil to become chili oil, which is also seasoned with soy sauce, white sesame seeds, and chopped green onions. It is very delicious when used to dip lamb.
It was the first time for Sun Beidou and his grandson to see such dishes. The colors and eating methods were all different from those outside.
He didn't move his chopsticks, and no one in the Su family moved their chopsticks either. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth in one bite.
Even the elderly can’t refuse braised pork, right?
It is soft, glutinous, fresh and fragrant, melts in your mouth, and has no greasy feeling of fat at all.
The braised dishes are all delicious because they contain soy sauce, and the braised pork is also very popular with Sun Beidou.
Sun Ling'er fell in love with the spicy diced chicken and dipped lamb.
Because it contained chili peppers, she really liked the taste, but she didn't know it was called spicy.
"That red thing inside is a pepper, right? I didn't expect it could be used in cooking. It's so delicious."
Her grandfather studied medicine, and she also studied medicine, so it was not surprising that she knew Chili.
"Well, how did you achieve the color of this dish? Do you have any secrets? I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time."
Sun Beidou is already having his second bowl of rice because the braised pork is really delicious.
"Mr. Sun, the dish is this color because it contains soy sauce. It is a secret recipe developed by my fourth brother. He will use it to open a restaurant in the future. This is a unique taste.
"This way of eating pepper fruit was a completely creative idea of mine. I didn't expect it to taste so good. It's quite a surprise." Su Wan patiently answered the grandfather and grandson's questions.
Sun Beidou nodded and praised:
"You are all smart children. Mr. and Mrs. Su are so lucky. All the children in your family are capable." He said and gave a thumbs up.
This made Su's father and mother feel embarrassed, but their children were definitely very capable, and as parents they had to admit that.
After dinner, it was already night, and Sun Beidou and his grandson were ready to leave and rush to Xiangzhou overnight.
Before leaving, Su Wan packed two bars of camellia goat milk soap for his own use, two bars of ordinary dyed soap, and two bars of hair soap left over from last year and gave them to Sun Ling'er.
This is my future sister-in-law, so we have to maintain a good relationship with her.
"Miss Sun, this is the goat milk soap I made myself. These two pieces can be used for washing clothes and hands, these two pieces can be used for bathing. They are scented with camellia, which is very nice. And these two pieces are specifically for washing hair, but they cannot be used for washing your face."
Sun Ling'er held them all in her arms. She had never used them before, but she felt that the Su family was very reliable and they must be good things.
"Thank you, Miss Su Liu!" She turned around and handed the goat milk soap to the driver, asking him to keep it, and then took off a necklace made of rosewood beads from her neck.
"Sixth Miss, you and I are of similar age. We met today and will be friends from now on. You gave me a gift, but I didn't prepare anything special for you. This rosewood bead necklace is something I recently acquired. I haven't worn it much, so I hope you don't mind. Wearing rosewood beads can calm your mind, so I'm giving it to you today as a token of my appreciation. We'll be like sisters in the future."
Things made of red sandalwood have always been rare and valuable since ancient times. Su Wan was too embarrassed to accept it and quickly refused:
"Miss Sun, this is too valuable. I can't accept it. The gift I gave you was insignificant, but you gave me something so good. It's inappropriate. Please take it back!"
"But the gift you gave me is valuable because of the thought. Today at your house, I felt your kindness. You are all good people, and I like you very much. So, please don't reject me."
After Sun Ling'er finished speaking, she simply put the rosewood bead necklace around Su Wan's neck, not allowing Su Wan to refuse.
She rarely takes the initiative to make friends with anyone, but she thinks Su Wan is very interesting and different from the girls she has met.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sun. I have already opened a mansion in Xiangzhou, named Furong Xiaozhu, in Xinghua Alley in Xiangzhou Prefecture. If you find the goat milk soap useful in the future, please send a message after you have used it up. Any of our soaps will be provided to you free of charge, Miss Sun."
"Hibiscus Cottage? What a nice and elegant name! In that case, I will respectfully obey your order."
Sun Ling'er gave her a small bow.
Sun Beidou was listening on the side, and he didn't expect that Su Wan actually established a government office and bought a house in Xiangzhou.
I learned from Su Mu before that her sister had started her own business. I didn’t expect it to be true. I guess the goat milk soap she was talking about is her business!
He bought a house in Xiangzhou in a short period of time, which means his business is doing well.
Hey, that kid really didn’t lie. Every child in the Su family is extraordinary.
The eldest son is still taking the imperial examination. I heard that he passed the provincial examination when he was just 16 years old and became a juren, and he has a good chance of becoming a jinshi.
The second son is extremely gifted in medical skills and has now been taken under his wing.
The third brother is the only disciple of Jiang Yunhe, so he must have learned all the martial arts.
Although the fourth brother is just a butcher, the dishes he cooks with the secret recipe are really delicious. If he opens a restaurant in the future, his business will surely be very popular.
And there is Lao Wu, the most talented young man in painting he has ever seen in his life. He is self-taught and with training, he will make great achievements in the literary world in the future.
And the youngest daughter is actually a good businesswoman, talented, beautiful, well-educated and sensible.
When Su Wan said that he had opened a government office in Xiangzhou, except for Su Chen and Su Yi, the rest of the people were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
What the hell?
Su Wan ran away and came back to Xiangzhou. Did he buy a house? Did he even give it a name?
