However, Su Wenxiu was not worried about Su Binglan because she had witnessed her power. She had encountered bandits before, but they were no match for her, no matter how many people there were.
Su Binglan looked into everyone’s eyes and said, “Believe me, everyone. I’ll be okay. Second Brother, you know what I’m capable of, right?”
Su Wenxiu nodded. “Yes, of course. We only need to support her. Everyone knows he can protect herself.”
He also did not want Su Binglan to go on a long journey because he knew how hard it was to be alone. However, he also knew she would not change her mind and that the family only needed to support her.
Under Su Binglan’s persuasion, the family no longer thought much about it. Su Binglan looked at the instant noodles and said, “The noodles are ready. We can eat now.”
They saw a big bowl of noodles after opening the lid. Su Wenxiu took a deep breath and said excitedly, “It smells amazing!’
Su Wenwu also looked at the noodles, saying, “It was just a small portion before soaking it, but the bowl is full now.”
Su Binglan explained, “The noodles will expand when you boil or soak them. Try it and see what it tastes like, everyone. Here’s some chili sauce if you want some.”
Su Wenzhe said, “I’ll add some to mine.’
Su Wenzhe avoided eating spicy food in the past. However, Luo Jin!an had accidentally added chili to Su Wenzhe’s barbecued skewer once, and he enjoyed it. Since then, he would typically add chili to his food if available.
He recalled that moment and started to miss his brother-in-law. “l wonder how Jin’an is doing. Why isn’t he back yet?”
Su Binglan’s chopstick-holding hand froze upon hearing Su Wenzhe’s words. After all, she was worried about Luo Jin!an, too.
Liu Yinyin noticed Su Binglan had suddenly fallen silent and discreetly pinched Su Wenzhe. She had hinted at him not to mention Luo Jin’an, but he did not react in time.
Su Wenzhe quickly realized he had misspoken but did not know what else to say. However, Liu Yinyin was quick-witted and cleverly changed the topic, “This instant noodle is delicious, Binglan.
“It’s different from the noodles I’ve eaten before and easier to store and make.
You can bring them with you on your journey.”
Su Binglan knew how attentive her sister-in-law was. Liu Yinyin feared mentioning Luo Jin’an would affect Su Binglan’s mood, but it was nothing.
Su Binglan smiled and told a white lie, “Jin’an will be home soon after finishing his work, Sister-in-law. He sent me a letter, too. Don’t worry, everyone.”
Of course, she also believed she could bring her husband home safely. “Hurry up and try the instant noodles. It’ll be delicious.”
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao felt sorry for their daughter but supported her no matter what. Soon, everyone started eating the instant noodles. Su Wenwu thoroughly enjoyed himself as he ate. “It’s so tasty, Sister. Truly!’
He took big bites when he ate because it was so fragrant that he could not help but want to eat more. He also slurped as he ate the noodles. Seeing him eating so enthusiastically ignited everyone’s appetite, and they followed suit.
Even Su Fengmao was shocked after taking a bite. “You don’t say. This does taste unique compared to other noodles. It’s incredibly fragrant.”
Shen Qiuhua recalled her daughter saying she could cook instant noodles and asked curiously, “I wonder what other flavors they can have.”
“Of course, it’s delicious,” Su Wenxiu said while eating.
Su Wenzhe echoed, “I’m looking forward to adding a poached egg to see if it tastes better.’
Su Binglan smiled. “You can cook and eat instant noodles whenever you want. You can also add other seasonings and different types of eggs to make it more fragrant.”
Su Wenwu looked at his sister and said, “l feel like doing that now.”
He was famished and finished his instant noodles in just a few minutes. He felt he did not have enough and was still hungry. He wanted to eat another portion, but everyone laughed when they saw his expression.
The family was in a happy mood as they ate their food.
Su Binglan said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be making soy sauce noodles later. They taste good, too.”
“l never thought we could make noodles in so many different ways,” Liu Yinyin sighed, “They all taste good to me.”
She only knew to boil water and add noodles in the past. She never knew how to season her noodles, let alone prepare them as her sister-in-law did.
Su Wenwu looked at his sister with bright eyes and chuckled, “Sister, when will we be eating your soy sauce noodles?”
Su Binglan could not help but laugh, “I’ve already begun preparing them.”
She was in a good mood when she saw her family enjoying her food. After all, food always tasted better when everyone ate together.
Su Fengmao had just finished his instant noodles when he hurriedly said, “I’ll prepare the fire, my dear daughter.”
Shen Qiuhua and Liu Yinyin ate and swallowed slowly, savoring the food’s flavor. Meanwhile, Su Wenwu could not wait to taste the soy sauce noodles, so he walked to the stove and said, “I’ll help you, too, Sister.”
Su Binglan said, “l don’t need your help, Third Brother. You can help check on
Ruozhu instead and see if he’s awake. Tell him to join us if he is, okay?”
She told Lan Ruozhu to soak in his medicinal bath and performed acupuncture after lunch. Then he fell asleep because of how relaxing the bath was.
The medicine in the water could help replenish one’s energy after a nap, allowing one to wake up in better spirits. Hence, Su Binglan suspected Lan Ruozhu would sleep for an entire afternoon.
“All right, I’ll go and check on him,” Su Wenwu said straightforwardly.
Then Su Fengmao started the fire while his daughter prepared to cook the noodles. Soy sauce noodles differed from instant noodles as the former was slightly thicker while the instant noodles were crispy.
Su Binglan took a long while to cook the noodles. Soon after, she took them out of the pot and strained them. When she finished cooking, Shen Qiuhua,
Liu Yinyin, Su Wenzhe, and Su Wenxiu finished eating their instant noodles.
Still, they felt like they could eat some more.
Shen Qiuhua looked at the noodles her daughter had scooped out and asked,
“Binglan, aren’t you going to add water to this one?”
“Soy sauce noodles are dry noodles. I just add seasonings and mix them. It’s that easy to make this dish.” Su Binglan had already prepared the seasonings for the soy sauce noodles.
She added the seasoning to a large bowl of noodles and stirred them well. Then told everyone, “You can eat as much as you want. I’ll leave the noodles in this big bowl for you to serve yourselves.”
Su Wenxiu looked at the bowl and said, “l feel like this dish is similar to instant noodles preparation-wise.”
“Yeah, 1 think so too. The noodles are both simple to prepare.” Shen Qiuhua also scooped some soy sauce noodles for herself.
Su Wenxiu followed suit and could not wait to start eating..
