Su Fengmao also enjoyed smelling the food while sitting at the stove and tending to the fire. Sometimes, the family would fight over who would handle the fire.

However, Shen Qiuhua could not argue with her husband and let him tend to the fire. She did not go to the room to rest, either. Instead, she watched curiously.

Su Binglan added water and scooped out the noodles after cooking them. Then, she added vegetables and divided them into several big bowls.

Afterward, she placed the sour bamboo shoots, tofu strips, peanuts, and vegetables into the bowls. Soon after, she scooped the soup she had made in another pot and poured it into each bowl.

The whole kitchen smelled of escargot noodles. Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Okay, everyone has a bowl for themselves. There should be more than enough. Come and bring these bowls to the table.”

She smelled the dish and became hungry.

“Wow, it looks sumptuous. There are so many ingredients in each bowl.”

“Yeah, it looks delicious.’

The family brought their bowls to the dining table, thinking about how nice it would be to eat together.

Su Binglan placed a saucer of vinegar and chili on the table. She said, “You can add these to your noodles.”

Su Wenzhe looked at his bowl and asked, “Sister, are these for seasoning?”

“Yes, they are,” Su Binglan explained, “Mother, could you prepare the toothpicks for us to eat the escargot?”

Fortunately, she had made plenty of escargots. Su Binglan scooped the escargot out of the pot and placed them into a large basin. Then, she brought it to the dining table.

Everyone washed their hands and sat at the table. As they were about to finish setting the table, Su Wenxiu returned from teaching his apprentices. He felt it was a blessing to eat a hot meal after a busy morning.

He felt relaxed when he looked at the food. After eating their fill, the family could nap before returning to work.

Su Binglan joined the family after she finished setting the table. Meanwhile, the family looked at her instead of eating because they did not know how to eat escargot.

Su Binglan smiled, picked up an escargot, and inserted a toothpick into the shell. With a light pick, she spun the meat around and pulled it out. Then, she put it in her mouth and chewed.

She smiled and nodded, saying, “Mmm, it’s delicious. Try some, everyone.”

The family finally knew how to eat escargots after watching her actions. Su Fengmao was the first to try it. He praised, “It’s delicious! I didn’t know that’s how we’re supposed to eat it.”

Everyone scrambled to try the escargot.

“Indeed, it tastes wonderful!”

“l agree!’

“l never knew snails could taste so good!”

“There’s not much meat, but the fragrance makes it better.”

The family ate the escargot and tasted the ingredients Su Binglan had used in the dish. They enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content. No one had touched their noodles yet because they savored the snails.

Moreover, Su Binglan added a slight spiciness to make the dish even more flavorful. Soon, everyone had a stack of escargot shells on their plates. They could not stop eating and even thought it was the best thing they had ever tasted.

Liu Yinyin then tasted the noodles. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Ah, the noodles are just as tasty!’

She took some of the noodles, scooped some soup, and ate it together. She thought it was the most fragrant thing she had eaten. However, she was not in a hurry to finish her food. Instead, she savored it.

Ye Feiran followed suit. She ate the escargot and noodles together and could not help but praise them. Strangely, it was her first time eating chili, and she thought the spiciness was just right.

She looked like she was enjoying herself as she ate. She even considered staying with the Su family forever instead of returning to the South. After all, she could have food like this for every meal.

“Hahaha!” Su Fengmao laughed, “This dish makes me happy. Escargot should taste excellent with wine. I’ll get some for me and my dear brother-in-law to drink.’

“All right, let’s drink,” Shen Qiuhui agreed. He was delighted to drink wine with his brother-in-law. Whether it was the wine or escargot, he tasted a party in his mouth.

Su Wenzhe got up to get glasses. Seeing that, Su Wenwu said, “l want to drink too, Big Brother!”

“Okay, let’s enjoy some wine together.”

Meanwhile, Shen Mohen and Su Wenxiu chose not to drink because they were doctors, and someone might suddenly need their help. Instead, the two drank tea.

Shen Qiuhua happily ate until she was half full, saying, “Binglan, these snails look like common field snails.’

She knew about river snails, but those lived in soil by the river. Since they lived in mud, she thought they were inedible. Some had tried eating these things but got a mouthful of dirt instead.

Moreover, snails were tricky to get out of their shells and tasted too fishy. People would smash the shells with stones to eat the snails, but they always tasted horrible. No one imagined snails to be so delicious.

However, Su Binglan knew escargots were tasty, so she made a dish her family would enjoy. Since she had made plenty, the family could eat as much as they wanted.

“l can’t stop eating these,” Su Wenzhe said as he ate, “But Xuexuan and Xuehai won’t be back from school until nighttime.”

He thought about his sons whenever he ate. However, Blue Mountain

Academy opened on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Since Su

Xuexuan and Su Xuehai attended school today, they had lunch in the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Luo Kang and his family still worked at the school cafeteria. Su Binglan had given them plenty of bonuses for the New Year holidays.

Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai would always praise the cafeteria food whenever they came home. It meant Luo Kang and his family continued working hard to make nutritious food for the students.

“It’s a little spicy, so I’ll leave some soup for the little ones,” Su Binglan said, “I’ll make something light for them to eat tonight.”

Su Wenzhe gratefully said, “You’re the best, Sister. You’re so good to them.” He had witnessed how much his sister cared for his sons. However, he did not know how to thank Su Binglan for everything she had done for them. Su Binglan said, “Well, they’re my nephews, so I treat them the best I can.” Liu Yinyin was also grateful to her sister-in-law.

Suddenly, Su Binglan remembered her mother’s question. The former answered, “These aren’t river snails, Mother. However, they are similar. Still, we can fry and eat river snails, too.”

Su Wenwu said, “So, river snails are also edible. I remember seeing many river snails in the summer as a child. I used to play with them but never knew they were edible..
