Chapter 165: One Point

Su Yin looked at the garland. It was very rough and many of the flowers were wilted.

When Madam Xu saw it, she couldn’t help but laugh, “I told her not to pick flowers when she saw them, but she kept asking me to teach her how to make garlands.

I thought she was just tinkering with them by herself, but I didn’t expect…”

Su Yin was so happy with the gesture. She took the wreath in her hand and kissed the little girl’s face, “It’s so beautiful! Sister likes it very much. Our girl is great.”

The little girl beamed with joy at the praise, her eyes sparkling.

After leaving Madam Xu’s side, she turned around and went to Doctor Li’s camp.

“Miss Su is here.” Dr. Li’s daughter-in-law, Yu Niang, saw her coming. She quickly stood up and came over, enthusiastically pulling her to sit on a stone nearby.

Su Yin handed half a catty of meat to Yu Niang.

The fisherwoman pushed it back, saying, “No, no.”

“It’s for the child’s health,” Su Yin insisted.

The little one hid shyly in her mother’s arms, peeking at Su Yin.

“You… I don’t even know how to thank you,” Yu Niang said, feeling overwhelmed.

“Auntie, don’t mention it. Since we are together, it’s fate,” Su Yin quickly changed the subject, “Where is Doctor Li?”

“He’s gone to see a patient, and it seems that he has a fever.”

After chatting for a while, Su Yin stood up to return.

As soon as she came back, Su Baozhu hurriedly stopped her and said, “The meat is ready as you requested, and it’s just waiting for you to take the spoon.”

Chef Su was back in action.

This time, instead of barbecuing, the whole plate of rabbit meat was fried directly.

Although there was less seasoning, it couldn’t be said that they had not eaten well. Even so, everyone enjoyed the meal happily.

Xiao Yanggui and cousin Taohua came over to eat again.

Little Yang Gui was eating rabbit meat with peppercorns, sticking out his numb tongue, and asked Haasihaha: “How good is it?”

“Just eat less hemp,” Taohua said.

“No. My sister’s cooking is too delicious,” Xiao Yanggui flattered her calmly.

Master Wan San was eating rabbit meat and stroking the sweat on his head, “Girl, did you put pepper in the pot?”

“I can’t hide anything from you.”

Mr. Wan San was very curious, “I just know that this pepper is used for spices and medicinal materials, and when it’s in your hands, it becomes a condiment. Your condiments are truly luxurious.”

Neither Su’s mother nor Su Baozhu knew what Sichuan pepper was, let alone its preciousness. They were very surprised when they heard Mr. Wan San say it.

“What is it? So precious?”

Wan Sanye picked up a small object, and several people came forward to take a look.

“Is this very expensive?” Su Baozhu asked curiously.

“Well, it’s a bit expensive.”

For farmers, it must be an extremely expensive thing, but for merchants like them, it’s nothing more than that.

When I was in Anping County, I had money in my pocket, so I happened to see some Sichuan peppercorns for sale in a shop, so I bought some.

It was really just a little, not too much.

This thing is expensive, and she doesn’t like eating it very much. She just thought that she might use it for cooking in the future, so she just bought some.

“What’s the price?” Mother Su couldn’t help but ask.

Mr. Wan Sanye reported a number lightly, “It’s only fifty taels per catty.”

“What? It’s so expensive!”

Su Baozhu and Su’s mother were shocked.

The two little ones had no idea, but they also knew that fifty taels was a lot of money and could buy a lot of delicious food.

“The price was still relatively stable before. When it was expensive, it was only one tael of gold and one tael of pepper.”

“Oh my God!”

Su Baozhu exclaimed in shock, “Then I will spit out a lot of money.”

Mother Su was also thinking about it, and the two of them looked at the ground together, as if they were about to pick up the spitted peppercorns from the ground and eat them again.

Su Yin hurriedly stopped her, “It’s not that expensive. The prices I bought were determined by the boss, and they were very cheap.”

Su’s mother didn’t listen to her deception, “No matter how cheap it is, it won’t be much cheaper.”

Mom, don’t fool me.

Mother Su slapped Su Yin hard on the shoulder, “Girl, why did you buy such an expensive thing?

How can you just put such an expensive thing in a pot and cook it? It’s so wasteful.”

Mother Su felt sorry for the money, and she felt even more sorry that they had wasted it.

Su Yin was dumbfounded by her mother, and quickly reflected, “Mother, mother, I was wrong. I won’t buy it next time.”

“It’s not that I won’t let you buy it. We have a lot of time ahead of us, so we need to save money. What do you mean by planning?”

Su Baozhu added for her, “Be prepared for a rainy day.”

What else could Su Yin say? He could only nod his head.

In front of his mother, just nod obediently.

Su Yin turned her head and glared at Mr. Wan San. Mr. Wan San, who knew he was in the wrong, moved his head away with a guilty conscience. Look at her.

Su Baozhu approached Su Yin and asked in a low voice, “How much did you buy?”

“Not much, just two taels.”

“Ah? At this point, I thought you bought a lot.”

“This thing doesn’t take much for cooking.”

Two taels are quite a lot.

After drinking and eating, Su Yin began to prepare braised wild boar meat. Fortunately, Anping County had replenished the seasonings for these braised wild meats.

Since there is water now, she quickly prepared all the meat.

As soon as the braised seasoning was added and simmered for a while, the aroma began to spread.

The fragrance wafted all the way to Lijiacun and caught the attention of Nan Jingzhi.

“It smells so good.” Nan Jingzhi sniffed the fragrance in the air.

Nan Wu said, “Young master, Miss Su must be making something delicious.”

Nan Jingzhi stood up, “I’m so full, but I want to eat something.”

Nan Wu looked at the direction in which the young master was leaving, chuckling to himself.

The young master is running towards Miss Su.

The enticing scent drew in the people nearby, and everyone came over to watch.

Yang Dahe asked, “Yinyin, what are you making that’s so delicious?”

“I’m making jerky.”

Su Yin thought for a moment, “Uncle, if you want to make jerky with your meat, I will give it to you later. If you have some brine, you can also cook the meat in it.”

“That’s okay.”

Yang Dahe had eaten dried meat made by Su Yin before. It was fragrant and delicious.

“Second uncle, are you doing it?”

“Okay, let’s have some too.”

Su Yin simply made a new pot of brine for the two uncles.

When Nan Jingzhi came over, he happened to see Yang Dahe and Yang Dachuan happily walking away with brine.

He came closer and smelled it, and it was that familiar smell.

This girl feels like she’s made to be a cook.

“Mr. Nan, do you want it?”

The graceful Nan Jingzhi was slightly reserved for two seconds, “Yes.”

Su Yin gave the last bit of brine to Nan Jingzhi.

Nan Jingzhi returned happily holding the brine.

That night the whole camp was filled with the smell of braised meat, not to mention how hungry people were.

Fortunately, they were the only ones on the official road in this area.

Su’s mother was putting away the dirty clothes. “Yinyin, take out whatever you need to wash quickly. We can wash them all together tomorrow.”

“I have already picked them up and put them in the carriage,” Su Yin thought. After thinking for a while, “Mom, bring some more soap locusts.

I have to rub my body and wash my hair.”

Her hair was stinky and sour.
