Su Li lied. “He was going hunting, so he didn’t co. The three of us had nothing to do at ho, so we thought of coming back to stay for a while.”
She did not tell them about He Yufeng’s injury. It was useless for them to know. It would only add two more people who were worried about him. Moreover, He Yufeng’s injury had already recovered.
Su Li took out the chili she had brought and said to Mother Su, “Mother, I’ll cook tonight and let you guys try my culinary skills.”
“Can you do it?” Su Li’s mother was suspicious of Su Li’s culinary skills.
In the past, her daughter did not do anything at ho, let alone cook.
She rembered that there was once when they went out to work and asked Su Li to help make a al at ho.
All the girls in the village had to help the family work, and being able to cook at ho was the best work.
However, they had overestimated Su Li. They asked her to cook a al and she set the kitchen on fire. That ti, they were scared out of their wits. From then on, they no longer dared to let Su Li cook.
Su Li smiled and took the kitchen knife from Mother Su’s hand. “Mother, just wait and eat! I didn’t live all these years for nothing.”
Mother Su thought for a mont and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be your assistant.” She watched from the side. Nothing major would happen, right?
Su Li’s mother heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Li’s knife skills were agile and did not seem to be the kind of person who did not know how to cook.
Su Li’s mother looked at the chili that Su Li took out and asked curiously, “What is this?”
Su Li took a look and explained, “Mother, this is called chili. It can be used to stir-fry vegetables or made into chili sauce and chili powder. It tastes very good!”
Mother Su took the chili and looked at it from left to right. “Why have I never seen this before?”
“I accidentally found it on the mountain. Perhaps you didn’t notice it in the past,” Su Li said.
Mother Su nodded. That was indeed the case. They were busy working every day and had no ti to notice anything else. Even if they saw it, they would think that it was weeds and dig it up with a hoe.
Su Li continued, “I brought back so chili seeds. Find a piece of land to plant the chili and sell it for money.”
She planned to let the Su family plant the chili first. After the harvest, she would help sell it. This could also improve the Su family’s current life.
“It’s not a problem to plant it. There’s still an empty space at ho, but I’ve never seen anyone sell this thing. Will this chili be able to be sold?” Mother Su couldn’t help but worry.
After all, she had never seen anyone sell it before. What if no one bought it?!
Su Li smiled and said, “Mother, don’t worry, just plant it. Leave the selling of chili to . I definitely won’t let your chili rot in the ground.”
Soon, a fragrant dinner was ready. There was spicy chicken, stead ribs with taro, braised fish, and a wild vegetable.
Su Ze looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and couldn’t help but swallow. His sister’s culinary skills were too good!
Madam Zou, the neighbor next door, slled the fragrance of at and wanted to run over to freeload. When she saw the tightly shut door of the Su family, she went up and knocked.
When Riceball heard soone knocking on the door, he barked loudly. “Woof woof woof woof…
Madam Zou was shocked when she heard the dog barking. When did the Su family raise a dog?
Su Ze was washing his hands in the courtyard with He Qingyao and He Qingmu when he heard the knock on the door. He could not help but frown.
Why was he knocking on their door at this ti?
Could it be that soone wanted to co over for a free al?!
Su Ze smiled coldly. He would be stupid if he opened the door for her.
Seeing that no one ca to open the door for a long ti, Madam Zou couldn’t help but curse in her heart. However, in order to freeload, she endured it and continued to knock on the door. “Is auntie at ho?”
Mother Su heard the knock on the door and said to Su Ze, “Why is the door closed? Open it quickly.”
Su Ze sat on the stool and said, “I’m not going, you’re not allowed to go either. Nothing good will happen once she cos.”
“You…” Mother Su glared at her, put down her chopsticks, and stood up to open the door.
Su Ze stood in front of Mother Su. “Mother, don’t open the door. Have you forgotten what she said about Sister in the past? Have you forgotten when she mocked us?”
Mrs. Su paused. Mrs. Zou had indeed said so unpleasant things.
Su Ze continued, “Let’s eat our fill first. Besides, doesn’t she look down on our family? Even if sothing happens, she won’t co to us.”
“Let’s eat,” Father Su said.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, his aning was obvious. Don’t open the door.
Since the head of the family had spoken, Mother Su could only sit back down.
Seeing that no one opened the door for a long ti, Madam Zou cursed, “It’s not dark vet and you’re already closing the door. Are vou afraid that we’ll co and eat? Pfft, who cares!”
Su Li picked up a piece of spicy chicken for her parents. “Father, Mother, try this spicy chicken.”
“Delicious, ” Father Su praised.
Mother Su nodded in agreent and told Father Su about planting chili.
Father Su looked at Su Li and asked, “Daughter, are you confident that you can sell the chili?”
He could see further than Mother Su. No one planted chili now. If they could sell it for a good price, they could plant more.
Su Li pointed at the spicy chicken on the table and said, “Father, tell if this spicy chicken is delicious.”
Father Su nodded. “Of course it’s delicious.’
The mont it entered his mouth, there was a spicy taste. After eating a piece, he could not help but want to eat another piece.
Su Li smiled and said, “Since Father thinks it’s delicious, those people in the restaurants would naturally think it’s delicious. Without this chili, they won’t be able to make it.”
“As the na suggests, the most important ingredients for spicy chicken are spicy and chicken.”
Mr. Su’s eyes imdiately lit up. “Yes, why didn’t we think of this?”
He imdiately decided. “Alright, I’ll grow more of this chili. Even if I can’t sell it, I’ll accept it.”
He wanted to take a gamble. If he did not succeed, it’s alright!
Seeing him like this, Su Li only found it funny and said, “Father, don’t worry. I definitely won’t disappoint you.”
At night, Su Li lay in the room she had stayed in before she got married and sighed.
The Host had not returned since she got married. She did not expect her to co back on behalf of the Host.
Two snoring sounds ca from beside her. Su Li turned her head to look at them, smiled, and kissed their foreheads.
“Sweet dreams, my babies.”
After confirming that the children were asleep, Su Li flashed into the interspace.
Recently, she had been making perfu. Currently, she was making scents of fragrant flowers and fruits.
She planted so flowers in her space. Now, these flowers were useful. However, if they were to be produced on a large scale, these were far from enough. She had to make other plans.
The perfu she was going to make this ti was fragrant citrus. The top notes were lemon and cedar, the middle notes were pink, pepper, and phoenix-eye blue, and the base notes were teak, irises, and amber.
The production process required patience and could not be rushed. Su Li began to purify them with a serious expression..
