47 The Use of Chillies
Liu Yinyin had never done such a thing before. Hearing Su Binglan’s words, she felt nervous yet expectant. She hoped she could set up a stall to do business and help her family earn money one day.
However, Liu Yinyin was nervous and worried that she wouldn’t be successful.
Su Binglan looked at Liu Yinyin with an encouraging and affirmative look and said, “Of course. Did those who set up stalls in the town know how to right from the beginning? They didn’t know how to either. Practice makes perfect, so I’m sure you can pull it off, Sister-in-law.”
Liu Yinyin chuckled. “Since you have such confidence in me, I’d like to try to help the family.”
Su Binglan nodded and said, “This will be good. Then you’ll have a business in the future, Sister-in-law.”
“I saw a lot of chestnuts behind the mountain, but it’s already getting late. Let’s all go there and pick those chestnuts tomorrow morning.”
Many of the chestnuts had ripened and fallen to the ground from the trees. Su Binglan had seen many of them hidden in the grass on the ground. She estimated they could gather a few full baskets tomorrow.
Had the villagers not noticed the spot behind the mountain that Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an went to that afternoon because it was a remote area?
Liu Yinyin nodded enthusiastically and said, “Okay. I’ll do whatever you tell me to, Sister-in-law.”
Shen Qiuhua tugged at Su Binglan’s arm. Her eyes shined as she asked, “Binglan, are there a lot of chestnuts behind the mountain?”
Su Binglan said, “Yes, Mother. Why would I lie to you? We can make a lot of money if we sell these chestnuts in the town. But after selling the chestnuts, we have to find other ways to make a living.”
Looking at Su Binglan’s serious expression, Shen Qiuhua smiled and said, “I know you’ll find a way.”
“Of course. Don’t worry about it. From here on out, our family’s conditions will only improve. That’s why I used all that salt, oil, and sugar. There’s no need to skimp on them.”
Shen Qiuhua agreed and said, “Things are meant to be used. As long as you’re happy, everything is well.”
The oil, salt, and sugar were much cheaper than Su Binglan’s makeup. If she wanted to buy more makeup, Shen Qihua would not hesitate to give Su Binglan money to buy it, not to mention these condiments.
Su Binglan felt a strong warmth in this home. She smiled and said, “Mother, I’ll make sour chili shredded potatoes tonight. It’s very delicious.”
“Sour chili shredded potatoes?” Shen Qiuhua was very confused.
Su Binglan poured the chilies into the basket and said, “Mother, these are chilies. Please help me wash them. I’ll be needing them. The shredded potatoes will have a spicy taste but don’t worry. It’ll just be a little. It’s very flavorful.”
Shen Qiuhua didn’t quite understand, but she felt it would be delicious as long as it was her daughter’s cooking. “Okay, go ahead and do whatever you want. Just tell me how to help.”
Su Binglan said softly, “You just need to help me wash these, Mother.”
Su Binglan wanted to use these chilis to make sour chili, shredded potatoes, and minced meat chili sauce.
On top of that, Su Binglan secretly placed some chilies in her pocket dimension. She would plant the chilies after dinner. The field on her pocket dimension’s first level was vast and could be used to grow many items.
Shen Qiuhua replied, “Okay, I’ll help you wash them right away.”
Su Binglan cut some peeled potatoes to shreds and soaked them in water to remove the starch. She then poured some oil into a wok and fried some chilis until they were fragrant. Afterward, she scooped the chilis out.
Next, Su Binglan added onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper into the wok. She then threw in the soaked potato shreds and stir-fried them all together.
Lastly, Su Binglan added the chilis back in with some seasoning.
Another different fragrance started wafting through the air.
Then Su Fengmao’s voice came from the door, “I’m home.”
