Chapter 116 Talking Under the Moon
Chapter 116 Conversation under the Moon
"Dad, please try the spicy strips I made. Is it delicious?"
Cao Shi'en looked at the oily spicy strips on the table, coated with a layer of spicy oil, and couldn't help but swallowing as his Adam's apple rolled.
But he couldn't connect such an appetizing delicacy with Cao Chunyuan, who had cooked dark dishes just a few days ago.
Isn't this a dark dish that looks good on the outside but actually has a 'unique taste'?
"Did you really do this?"
Cao Chunyuan nodded and urged: "Dad, try it quickly and see if it tastes good."
‘Haha’, Cao Shien smiled awkwardly, picked up a spicy stick with some hesitation, squinted his eyes and put the spicy stick into his mouth.
At first, he took the risk with the determination of 'die', but after eating the spicy strips, he immediately realized that this was not a dark dish.
"Hey, it tastes pretty good. It's a little spicy and a little salty. It's suitable for wine and food. What is this made of? It tastes a bit like bean curd."
Seeing that her craftsmanship was recognized, Cao Chunyuan's smile blossomed.
"Dad, I made this with high-gluten flour. I made the high-gluten flour into small strips like this, then fried them, and then added a series of ingredients. Ordinary high-gluten flour turned into delicious food.
The spicy strips.”
Cao Shien ate up the spicy strips in his hand in a few mouthfuls, nodded and said, "It tastes really good. If there is no food at home, you can use it to eat with rice. This thing has a salty taste and a bit of spiciness, so it goes well with rice!"
"Hey, mom, brother, you guys should try it too!"
It has been a long time since Cao Chunyuan was praised for her cooking. Although strictly speaking spicy strips are not a dish, Cao Chunyuan can comfort herself!
Moreover, Cao Chunyuan deliberately missed Cao Chunmei. The little girl was so angry that she bit the big chicken drumstick in her hand hard. Looking at her, she seemed to mistake the drumstick in her hand for Cao Chunyuan.
Cao Chunyuan didn't give up. She picked up a spicy stick, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.
“Wow, it smells so good!
Brother, are the spicy strips I made delicious?"
Cao Chunlong looked at Cao Chunyuan very speechlessly, thinking how old you are, and you are still being serious with a little girl, you are too boring.
Why didn't I realize before that you have this weird hobby?
But to be honest, the spicy strips you made this time are really delicious, much better than the dark dish you made last time!
“Hehe, it’s delicious!
Little sister, you should try it too, your sister was joking with you before!"
Cao Chunlong originally had good intentions, but he didn't know that the little girl had become stubborn and twisted her neck.
"Hmph, this looks spicy at first glance, I don't want to eat it!"
Cao Chunlong blinked and said secretly that the older one is ignorant and the younger one has such a stubborn temper. You two sisters are a perfect match.
If I hadn't seen you swallowing secretly, I would have almost believed your lies.
Oh, forget it, just don't eat if you don't want to eat. Anyway, I have learned how to do it. I will open a small stove for you in the future.
"Oh, it's so spicy. It kills me. Brother, do you think it's spicy?"
Such a clumsy performance by Cao Chunyuan caused Cao Shien, Li Xianglan, and Cao Chunlong to all turn to look at Cao Chunyuan. Everyone felt that Cao Chunyuan today was a little abnormal.
The elder sister who usually dotes on her sister the most suddenly becomes tit for tat with the little girl.
"Haha, I saw that you would start school tomorrow, so I was teasing you. I don't know when you want to see me next time, so hurry up and eat!"
Hearing this, the little girl didn't care about being angry with Cao Chunyuan, and looked at Cao Chunyuan with great reluctance.
"Sister, are you leaving with your brother too?"
Cao Chunyuan nodded and said: "Yes, my sister has a lot of work outside and can't stay at home all the time. So you have to study hard, otherwise you will have to be like your sister, go to far, far away places and do very special things."
Hard work."
The little girl put down the chicken drumstick in her hand and took out a ball of crumpled cash from her pocket with her oily little hands.
"Sister, I'll give you my pocket money. Can you work somewhere closer to home in the future?"
Looking at the innocent look in Cao Chunmei's eyes, Cao Chunyuan felt a little sore in her nose. This kind of simple and pure emotion is the most difficult to let go of.
"Haha, okay, I will try to work somewhere close to home in the future. However, you should save your pocket money to buy delicious food when you go to school!
Come and try the spicy strips I made for you, is it delicious?"
"Hehe, sister is so nice!"
Cao Chunmei reached out to grab the spicy strips on the plate, but was slapped hard on the back of her hand by Li Xianglan.
"use chopstick."
"Know it!"
"."
The dinner before leaving ended with the family talking and laughing.
After dinner, Cao Chunyuan put on a thick coat and sat side by side with Cao Chunlong on a bench in the courtyard.
Looking at the sky full of stars and blowing the cool night breeze, Cao Chunyuan felt as if she had been washed.
"Brother, I will take you back to Yanjing tomorrow."
Cao Chunlong turned his head and looked at Cao Chunyuan's delicate profile.
"I will just take the train back to school tomorrow. You are usually so busy, so you should do your own work first.
Besides, my cousin’s house will be building a greenhouse tomorrow, so it’s inappropriate to bother him!”
'Haha', Cao Chunyuan smiled slightly and said: "I went back to Yanjing to deal with work! Also, do you think cousin Zhigang is still the same as before, doing everything by himself?
He must hire someone to do this kind of physical work!"
"Oh~"
Cao Chunlong didn't know whether Cao Chunyuan really had work and wanted to go back to Yanjing, or whether she was just saying this to see him off. He only knew that when Cao Chunyuan was determined to do something, he couldn't stop her.
"Cousin Zhigang is much more mature than before. Now the younger generation in the village admire him very much."
Cao Chunyuan raised her eyebrows, and was very surprised that Cao Chunlong could have such a mature view. She thought that Cao Chunlong was the kind of person who didn't hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages.
Unexpectedly, Cao Chunlong, who usually kept silent, saw everything.
"Haha, cousin Zhigang has indeed made great progress. He works very hard."
Cao Chunlong's mouth moved, and he wanted to say that any other person, put in Li Zhigang's position, could do what he did. The really powerful person is you!
I'm a little worried now that I won't be able to help you even after I graduate.
Can you please take a smaller step? I'm really afraid that I won't be able to catch up with you!
"I heard from cousin Zhigang that you plan to start expanding next year and bring your business to Jizhou Province?"
'Yeah', Cao Chunyuan nodded and said softly: "Winter is coming soon, and it's too late to plant Chinese cabbage. We can only organize the villagers to plant some greenhouse crops, and let the villagers who contract the orchards plant the high-yielding fruit trees I provided.
Director Yan promised me before that as long as our Liujia Village can make money from planting, he will take the lead in lobbying several other villages and towns to follow us in planting.
In other words, if everything goes well, not only our Dazhangzi Township but also our northern area of Qinglong City will probably follow suit in planting.
A mere cannery with many delicious foods cannot consume so many vegetables and fruits.
Therefore, I plan to sell the agricultural products from our Dazhangzi Township, or our Qinglong City, to Jizhou Province. Once we have established a foothold in Jizhou Province, we will continue to expand to other provinces."
Looking at Cao Chunyuan talking eloquently, Cao Chunlong felt that her whole body was shining and she was super charming.
But the more outstanding Cao Chunyuan is, the more anxious Cao Chunlong becomes.
My sister is already so good and is still improving. As an older brother, he must work harder.
My sister's business is getting bigger and bigger. How can I help?
Can you build an online platform where you can help your sister recycle and sell crops?
