Shen Mohen and Shen Qiuui were tired and hungry after strolling around the town and village. They could smell the food as they walked along the small road toward the Su family’s house.
This time, every household in the village lit fireworks and prepared lunch. When the father and son passed the villagers’ houses, they could smell their cooking, whetting their appetites.
However, they realized the fragrance from the Su family’s house was better than the rest. Shen Qiuhui and Shen Mohen quickened their pace toward the house.
Shen Qiuhui exclaimed, “It smells so good! What did you make, Binglan?”
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “You came just in time, Uncle Qiuhui. We’re having escargot noodles for lunch today. However, I must warn you, it smells a little bizarre.’
Shen Qiujui waved. “Don’t worry. I know your cooking will be delicious, Binglan.
He had smelled the strange aroma from the courtyard just now and thought about stinky tofu. He liked eating stinky tofu after coming to his sister’s house. Shen Qiuhui thought certain foods tasted better if the smell was weirder.
Therefore, he did not care about how a dish smelled, only how it tasted. He looked forward to lunch, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Shen Mohen looked at his father and thought of how he was always a severe and cold person. However, Shen Qiuhui’s demeanor changed when he reunited with his sister.
Shen Qiuhui was easygoing compared to his past self. Shen Mohen would be afraid of speaking to his father in the past, but not anymore because he felt a strong sense of fatherly love.
Shen Mohen knew his father still loved and cared about him. Even so, Shen Qiuhui rarely expressed it last time. He was strict with Shen Mohen last time but softened up after reuniting with Shen Qiuhua.
Moreover, Shen Qiuhui supported his son in anything he wanted to do, making Shen Mohen very excited.
‘As expected, it’s better to stay at Aunt Qiuhua’s house. Since Father doesn’ t want me to return to the capital, I’ll stay here instead.’
Shen Mohen knew he could learn a lot from his cousin. After all, she was not only a business genius but also a medical genius. Shen Mohen could benefit significantly from what Su Binglan could teach him.
Even those from the Legendary Medicine Valley envied their student, Shen Mohen, for being able to learn from Su Binglan. Of course, she had also taught him some acupuncture techniques.
Although Shen Mohen knew little about it, he had memorized the human anatomy and the human body’s acupuncture points. His next step was to master acupuncture techniques.
However, Shen Mohen decided to learn from Su Wenxiu since Su Binglan was too busy. Coincidentally, Su Wenxiu had just resumed classes with his apprentices.
Shen Mohen possessed exceptional medical skills compared to the apprentices, but he was still incomparable to Su Binglan. Furthermore, he knew very little about acupuncture.
Shen Mohen was also humble regarding his studies in medicine. He knew he had to keep learning to be a good doctor. Therefore, he took the opportunity to learn from Su Wenxiu.
Su Wenxiu was thrilled to discuss medicine with Shen Mohen because the latter had more practical experience. The two had learned a lot through their discussions.
Nonetheless, Shen Mohen was more interested in the escargot noodles. “l know your new dish will be delicious, Cousin Binglan.’!
He was curious and wanted to look inside the pot, but Su Binglan had covered it with a lid to let it simmer.
Su Wenzhe was curious, asking, “Feiran, do you need help with the fire?”
The family thought Ye Feiran had soft and tender skin. They wondered if her hand would become rough if they let her handle the firewood.
Ye Feiran smiled. “It’s a straightforward task, so I’m not tired.”
She enjoyed the atmosphere among the Su family because they were considerate of each other. She could feel their warmth and sincere concern for her.
Suddenly, Shen Qiuhua gently pulled Ye Feiran from the stool, and Su Wenzhe took over to handle the fire. It was about time to lower the fire, so Su Binglan told her brother, “You can turn down the fire now, Big Brother.”
Su Wenzhe often helped with the fire, so he knew what to do when his sister gave the order. After lowering the fire, Su Binglan added water to the pot and said, “Okay, I can make fragrant screw soup after another fifteen minutes.”
At that moment, everyone saw what was in the pot.
“What’s that?”
They were shocked and could only guess what was in the pot. However, they never expected to see something strange.
‘Aren’t those snails we usually see by the river during summer?’
‘Those are similar to field snails but are bigger.’ ‘Don’t those things like being in the mud?’
‘How do we eat those things?’
The family’s thoughts ran wild when they looked into the pot. Still, the fragrance was enticing.
Before they could look closer, Su Binglan put the lid back on.
At this moment, everyone regained their senses. If others thought escargots were inedible, it might be because they had never tried them before. It was like when Su Binglan first introduced soybeans to her family.
The mountain had many soybeans for harvests, but the family never knew they could use them to make tofu. Since Su Binglan had taught them about soybeans, the family suspected the escargots would be just as delicious.
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s expressions after covering the pot again. She knew their thoughts but did not explain anything. She only said, “You’ll know whether or not escargots taste good after trying them later.”
She suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, Mother, I need toothpicks. Could you grab some for me?
The family had made some toothpicks previously, so they came in handy now.
Shen Qiuhua took one from the table and said, “Here, you go. Why do you need it?”
Su Binglan took the toothpick and smiled, “I’ll use it to test the food later. You and Father should rest first. I’ll call you two when I finish cooking.”
Shen Qiuhua refused to rest. Instead, she asked, “What else do you need,
Binglan? Your father and I can help.”
Su Binglan answered, “I just need to cook the vermicelli.”
“That’s easy,” Su Fengmao responded, “I’ll start the fire on the other stove.”
They had two spots at the stove so they could cook simultaneously. Shen
Qiuhui said, “You can rest, Brother-in-law. Let me take over.”
“It’s okay, Qiuhui, I’m not tired,” Su Fengmao said earnestly. On the contrary, he would feel energetic whenever he accompanied his daughter to cook..
