158 12 Points of Spirit

Su Wenzhe thought his sister was amazing because she always did things a certain way. Either way, he knew there was nothing wrong with his sister.

Liu Yinyin asked in a low voice, “Binglan, what did you mean by that?”

She felt that her sister-in-law was too intelligent, and she would not understand some of Su Binglan’s words sometimes. Still, Liu Yinyin was interested in learning, even though she was worried she might waste Su Binglan’s time if she asked too many questions.

Su Binglan patiently explained, “Let’s put it this way. If you think something is delicious, you can only sell a few of those dishes daily. In other words, only a few people can taste these special dishes, while others can only wait for the next day to try them. Thus, more customers would want these dishes even more than usual.”

Su Wenzhe immediately understood what his sister meant and said, “Sister, doesn’t that reside with the saying, “All rare things are precious?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, that’s right. So, you and Yinyin won’t have to make too much at the start. After a few days, you can make and sell more if you want to.”

Liu Yinyin smiled gently and said, “Then those who didn’t get a chance to eat those dishes at first will return earlier the next day to buy them. The more people there are, the quicker we will sell these dishes.”

Su Wenzhe imagined that scene and became excited. “The more people there are, the more lively our shop will be. Others will come to our shops when they see how lively it is.”

Su Binglan smiled and knew she did not have to explain anymore because her big brother and sister-in-law understood her.

People did not have television or newspapers in ancient times. They were relatively simple-minded and liked to join in the fun whenever they saw a lively crowd.

If many people lined up to buy food, others would likely join the queue curiously, even if they had never tried the dish before.

Su Binglan arranged the ingredients and said, “Big Brother, I’ve already prepared everything. Come and knead the dough.”

“Okay.” Su Wenzhe washed his hands and began to knead the dough according to what Su Binglan had told him.

Su Binglan looked at her brother while instructing, “Big Brother, you must remember how many noodles, how much water, and how much salt to put in.”

She had discreetly added spiritual spring water into the shop’s tank so the food would be more fragrant and delicious.

“Don’t worry, Sister. I can remember everything you told me.” Su Wenzhe was very focused and dared not miss any details.

Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully, “It’s okay, Binglan. I will remember too.”

Su Binglan looked at her sister-in-law admiringly. She knew Su Wenzhe and his wife were diligent, earnest, and eager to learn. Such people would undoubtedly live a good life.

“After kneading the dough, lay it flat to make the noodles.”

“Okay.” Su Wenzhe memorized every step in his mind.

He had gone to school when he was a child, and the teachers praised his intelligence, but he dropped out of school to help his parents since his family was living in poor conditions. That was why he could remember things so quickly.

“Now, pour oil into the pot and heat it. After that, add the dough, stir, and make the noodles.”

After making the noodles, Su Binglan had to wait for them to set before taking the next step. However, she did not have to wait long because she had added the spiritual spring water.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan used that time to teach her brother and sister-in-law how to make haggis soup, “These are the ingredients I bought from the market, but the meat parts are slightly more expensive.

“I remember Third Uncle’s family raises sheep, so you can talk to him about buying them. It will save you plenty of trouble if you buy them from Third Uncle. Also, you don’t have to buy ingredients daily because you can prepare them at home.”
