49 Not Happy

The fragrance of the chicken and potatoes made Su Binglan feel hungry.

Su Binglan didn’t know why, but she would always feel hungry after reincarnating. Could she be hungry because she had been cooking the whole afternoon?

Since she was hungry, Su Binglan quickly started preparing the chicken for her Big Plate Chicken dish. First, she cut the potatoes into small pieces and then told her sister-in-law to heat the wok.

Then Su Binglan poured in oil, followed by the potatoes. She fried them and then scooped them out.

Su Binglan then sautéed some chopped ginger, garlic, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns and scooped those out too.

After that, Su Binglan placed some chilis, scallions, and ginger into the wok. She then dumped in the chicken. When the chicken was cooked and had taken on some color, she added water, sugar, wine, and salt to season it.

There was no cooking wine at home, but there was some regular wine, so Su Binglan used that to season the dish. After seasoning it, she left it to simmer.

After a few minutes, Su Binglan poured the potatoes back in and continued to let them simmer.

The entire time, Su Binglan had been guiding Liu Yinyin on whether the fire should be big or small.

Su Binglan controlled every aspect of the cooking process. She also tightly controlled the seasonings that went in.

Some things in ancient times were not available. Therefore, Su Binglan employed a home-cooked method to cook her dishes. Nevertheless, this cooking style was a treat for people who rarely ate delicious food.

The food of this era was too backward. The villagers only ate until they were full and didn’t pay much attention to how they prepared the dishes.

Everyone only thought about how to live and earn money. Very few spent all day thinking about how to cook and study delicious food.

…

Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were playing in the yard when they smelled the fragrance from the kitchen. They couldn’t help but come to the stove again.

Su Xuehai gulped and said, “That smells so good.”

Su Binglan saw Su Xuehai’s cute face and smiled at him. “You can eat in a while. The chicken is very fragrant and delicious.”

Su Xuehai saw Su Binglan smile at him. As if unused to it, he ran back outside. However, he continued to watch from afar. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh when they saw his cute behavior.

It had been a long time since the family laughed like that.

Su Binglan was busy for a while. Since she wanted to send some food to her grandparents, she prepared more than usual.

Su Binglan originally wanted her father to send some chicken, candied chestnuts, french fries, and sour chili shredded potatoes to her grandparents. Still, after some thought, she decided to send the food over herself.

Su Binglan’s grandparents were probably worried about her. A long time ago, her grandparents often visited her and told her to go to their place.

Of course, Su Binglan’s predecessor was pretentious and always angered the two older people, so sometimes, they wouldn’t come over, but they constantly sent gifts.

It was the Su family’s fault for valuing girls over boys. There was only one girl in the entire family. Even though Su Binglan’s predecessor had a bad temper and a horrible attitude, everyone still doted on her.

Su Binglan picked up the dishes and went to her grandparents’ home. Their place wasn’t far away, so it took only a few minutes to get there.

By this time, the sky was already dark. However, Su Binglan saw her grandparents were still busy working in the courtyard.

The elderly couple was making something. It seemed like they were knitting straw hats. It was already so late, but they were still busy working.

Su Binglan looked at them, and her heart ached. She calmed down and pretended to be cheerful, “Grandfather, Grandmother, I’ve come to visit.”

Hearing Su Binglan’s voice, Old Master Su and Old Madam Su hurriedly put down the things in their hands and stood up.

“It’s you, Binglan. Come in quickly.”

The elderly couple was ecstatic. They excitedly walked over and pulled Su Binglan inside the house.
