Chapter 545: Simple Happiness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan recalled her memories of the modern world and remembered how it felt to eat instant noodles. She remembered the fragrance wafting in her room whenever she made it.

After reincarnating to this era, she could no longer eat instant noodles. She could conveniently make a packet of instant noodles whenever she was too busy to cook in the modern era. They were also convenient to bring along.

Su Binglan would not have considered making instant noodles if she were not going to the border. Nonetheless, she made quite a lot but secretly kept most of it in her pocket dimension for Luo Jin’an and gave her family a packet each.

“Everyone has a packet of instant noodles. You can make more if you think it’s delicious.” Su Binglan had taught everyone how to make instant noodles, so the family could make them if they were hungry.

She had also made many seasonings, which they could store well during winter.

Su Wenzhe became hungry after listening to his sister. Although he had eaten plenty for lunch, the instant noodles before him were too fragrant and tempting.

“I already want to make another packet after eating this one.” He thought boiled and soaked instant noodles would taste different, so he wanted to try them all.

“Do you think you can eat that much?” Liu Yinyin said, “Your stomach will be full after eating just one packet.”

Su Wenzhe always felt he could eat a lot, but Liu Yinyin knew his eating habits better. There were a lot of noodles in each batch, and she knew it when she made them.

Su Wenzhe said disapprovingly, “That looks like a small batch. That won’t be enough for me.”

Su Binglan looked at him smilingly and said, “You only see a small batch, but it’ll expand after you boil them.”

Since there was no packaging in that era, Su Binglan could only wrap the instant noodles in oil paper to resemble packets from the modern world. Still, she helped everyone make a bowl to eat. While soaking the noodles, the fragrance wafted throughout the room.

Meanwhile, Su Wenxiu fiddled with his medicinal herbs in the backyard. Since some herbs did not grow well in the cold, he considered the greenhouse his sister once mentioned.

However, he did not know if building one would help the herbs survive and grow. He also knew building a greenhouse would be challenging.

Su Wenxiu also thought it was strange that his herbs could survive the cold for so long and had strong survivability. But he did not know that Su Binglan had planted these herbs in her pocket dimension.

Since that was the case, the medicinal herbs she removed from her dimension could quickly adapt to the environment, and their survival rate would be extremely high.

Furthermore, Su Binglan also watered the herbs with spiritual spring water, making them grow faster. There was no need to build a greenhouse. Of course, Su Wenxiu did not know about these things.

While fiddling with his herbs, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. His nose had become more sensitive when he started learning medicine. He could quickly distinguish the smell of medicinal herbs and food, especially when it was time to eat.

‘Is that the smell of noodles? Why does it smell different from the ones I’ve eaten before? Also, how did the fragrance travel this far? Am I just hungry, or is something wrong with my nose?’

He knew the fragrance of food was never this potent. The aroma wafting from the instant noodles was much more substantial than ordinary food.

Su Binglan also wanted to make escargot noodles but was too busy now. Therefore, she planned to add them to the menu after returning from the border.

If she could also make packaged instant noodles, everyone could buy some and cook them at home. Then the fragrance would waft from each house throughout the village. She also wanted to have a separate area to make escargot noodles.

Su Xueye had to build the shop first, and the family had to wait for Su Binglan to return before opening it. However, no one knew if she would return for a whole year.

Su Wenxiu smelled the aroma and could not help but walk toward the main hall. He could already smell the aroma getting stronger at the door. “Little Sister must’ve made something delicious.”

He suspected his sister had developed another delicacy. Su Fengmao laughed, saying, ‘Only your nose can smell food from so far away.”

Su Wenxiu nodded. “Sister’s food is so fragrant that I could smell it from the backyard.”

Su Wenwu teased him, “Just say you’re hungry, Second Brother.”

“It’s true,” Su Wenxiu said with a straight face, “If you don’t believe me, go to the backyard and sniff it for yourself.”

Su Wenzhe added, “I remember being busy all day when I made haggis soup and sesame buns. I could still smell the food at the door and felt happy whenever I came home at night.”

He never forgot how he felt. Now that he had plenty of free time and could often stay home, he no longer had that feeling.

He was exhausted from working all day then, but when he returned home, he could smell and eat delicious food. It made him feel good.

Liu Yinyin smiled. “I remember it too. I always looked forward to coming home and having dinner back then.”

Su Wenzhe nodded. “I thought of nothing else then and just wanted to come home for dinner.’

Liu Yinyin echoed, “How could we think of anything else? I still think about how much we earn, too.’

Su Wenzhe also recalled those times. “I was the happiest when we brought home our earnings. We counted our profits together as a family after dinner.”

Shen Qjuhua never forgot those moments, either. She smiled happily, saying,

“You don’t have to remind me. We used to wait for you two to return. Everyone was thrilled when we learned how much you could earn in a day.”

The Su family had lived tough lives in the past. Later, they started earning money, making them feel at ease.

Su Wenwu looked at the instant noodles and said, “I feel the same way now. Whenever I return from the hotpot restaurants, I look forward to coming home and eating. I even tell you how the business is doing.”

Making a good living and earning money gave him a sense of security. Eating delicious food would not make him feel guilty, either. He remembered working for the bodyguard agency and could not bear to spend money to eat.

When Su Wenwu worked at the agency, he constantly thought his parents and siblings could not eat good food at home. He only thought of saving money to give to his parents.

“I felt terrible in the past.” Su Wenwu shook his head.

“Didn’t the agency encounter bandits while delivering goods last time, and two people died?”

Su Wenwu felt a lingering fear when he heard that question.

Shen Qjuhua’s face paled. “It’s not safe out there, so it’s best to stay as close to home as possible.”

Then everyone looked at Su Binglan again worriedly..
