Su Li lied. “He was going hunting, so he didn’t come. The three of us had nothing to do at home, 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 home, let alone cook.
She remembered that there was once when they went out to work and asked Su Li to help make a meal at home.
All the girls in the village had to help the family work, and being able to cook at home was the best work.
However, they had overestimated Su Li. They asked her to cook a meal and she set the kitchen on fire. That time, 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 moment 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 time 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 some 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 home, 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 me. I definitely won’t let your chili rot in the ground.”
Soon, a fragrant dinner was ready. There was spicy chicken, steamed 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, smelled the fragrance of meat 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 someone 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 time?
Could it be that someone wanted to come over for a free meal?!
Su Ze smiled coldly. He would be stupid if he opened the door for her.
Seeing that no one came to open the door for a long time, 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 home?”
