Chapter 737: Escargot Noodles
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Qiuhua picked up a prawn with her chopsticks and ate it. She knew the others would be too embarrassed to eat if she did not move first. After all, she was the elder.
Su Wenwu listened to her and peeled a prawn for Ye Feiran. He said, “Here, I peeled it for you.”
Ye Feiran blushed, even more embarrassed this time. She lowered her head while blinking. She liked that Su Wenwu peeled the prawn for her so caringly. However, she was shy because so many people were present.
She said, “I-I can do it myself.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled at her. “It’s okay. We’re family now, so Wenwu will take care of you. Wenzhe cares for Yinyin a lot, too.”
‘Huh?!’
Shen Qiuhua’s words shocked everyone, especially Ye Feiran, who became wide-eyed. Ye Feiran wondered if Shen Qiuhua had seen through her disguise, carefully raising her head.
Shen Qiuhua felt she had overstepped and quickly corrected herself, “Oh, 1 meant just like how Wenzhe cares for his younger brothers, not Yinyin. My three sons care for each other very much.”
Su Binglan smiled because she realized her mother was pleased with Ye Feiran. She also noticed her mother wanted to match Su Wenwu with Ye Feiran.
Su Binglan looked at the two and then down at her bowl. She saw several peeled prawns inside. Immediately after, she realized Luo Jin’an had peeled them for her before she even noticed.
Su Binglan knew her husband was quiet but attentive. She told him softly,
“You should eat too. I’ll only eat if you eat.”
Luo Jin’an could only oblige his wife.
Everyone agreed that the garlic vermicelli prawns were delicious. Ye Feiran was amazed after trying it for the first time. She said, “l can’t get enough of this. It’s delicious.’
She imagined the dish would be famous if she sold it in her tavern. Moreover, no one could imitate such a dish because prawns were rare. After all, Ye Feiran was the first to discover that prawns were edible.
She had just started promoting it, so she had an idea. However, she dared not say it. Even if she wanted to, she had to discuss it with Su Binglan before deciding. That was because Su Binglan had developed the dish.
Su Wenxiu quietly ate the vermicelli after tasting the prawns. His eyes widened as he ate more. He exclaimed, “Whoa, the vermicelli is tasty, too!”
The family heard his claims and followed suit. Ye Feiran raised her brows, saying, “So, that’s what garlic vermicelli tastes like. It’s delicious. I’ve never had anything like it.”
She did not expect Su Binglan to be able to make such tasty food. Ye Feiran could not even describe how amazed she was. At that moment, she considered staying with the Su family if she could eat like this daily.
However, she was shy to do so because she did not want to overstay her welcome.
Su Wenwu explained, “Yinyin’s parents made the vermicelli. They also have a duck blood vermicelli shop. I’ll bring you there if you want to try it, okay?”
Ye Feiran nodded, saying, “Okay. The vermicelli tastes similar to noodles, but it’s different simultaneously. The vermicelli is a little firmer than noodles.”
Ye Feiran had a certain amount of knowledge about food because she managed her family’s restaurant. She knew anyone could make a good living if they learned to cook well.
Even if she was a food researcher, she was not good at cooking. Nonetheless, she enjoyed eating and knew much about flavor. She felt the comfort of home after eating Su Binglan’s dishes.
Ye Feiran did not realize how quickly she ate. She did not bother about Su Wenwu, and the latter did not care about her. The two simply enjoyed their food. They ate the prawns and vermicelli, dipping them in the garlic paste.
“Vermicelli is great because we can use them in various dishes. You can even use them as a hotpot ingredient. However, I have another dish idea everyone will like,” Su Binglan’s words piqued everyone’s interest.
“What is it?”
Everyone already knew the dish Su Binglan would suggest was delicious.
“Escargot noodles,” Su Binglan said with a smile.
“What’s that?” No one had heard of such a thing.
Su Binglan noticed everyone’s curious expressions, so she did not keep them in suspense, saying, “I’ll need two days to prepare the dish. Then, I’ll make escargot noodles for everyone to try. You’ll know what it tastes like then.
“However, I must say that the dish has a bizarre fragrance. It’s like stinky tofu and just as delicious.”
Su Wenzhe said, “l agree with the stinky tofu. You won’t ca_re about the smell once you’ve tasted it. We’ll eat whatever you make, Sister.”
The family supported Su Binglan’s cooking, not because they were biased, but because it was consistently delicious. Nonetheless, they had eaten their fill tonight.
“All right.” Su Binglan nodded. She had only considered making escargot noodles while making the garlic vermicelli prawns.
The family had a great time eating dinner. Soon after, they noticed the heavy snow had stopped, and the weather looked perfect outside.
“Hey, it stopped snowing.”
“Yeah, there’s only a thin layer of snow on the ground, too.”
“Can we go to town and light lanterns now?”
The family was happy that the weather had improved because they could go out to celebrate the Lantern Festival. After all, it was a time to relax and play.
In the past, people would be reluctant to visit towns, buy lanterns, and put them up. But since most people’s living conditions had improved, they were more willing to buy lanterns to join the fun.
However, no one knew Su Binglan had just used her Soul Powers to stop the snow because she knew it would get heavier that night.
Luo Jin’an looked at the sky outside and then at Su Binglan.
Su Binglan thought his gaze was strange and soul-stirring. It was as if he had noticed something she did not want him to..
