44 Superior Position

In order to prevent the fragrance from drifting out, Su Wen closed the kitchen door and blocked the gap with the rags in the house. This was a little safer.

The rest of the carp was left to be braised.

As the weather turned hot, there were more and more vegetables that could be eaten in the private field. Su Wen was not a picky person, so she picked a lot of edamame, chilies, and cilantro. Su Qing moved a small stool to the yard and sat down to help peel the edamame.

Su Wen began to use the dough-kneading technique. She mixed the corn flour with the white flour that she had just bought this afternoon into a soft dough. Then, she took out the pan and boiled some oil. She added ginger and star-horn chilies and stir-fried them together until they were fragrant. Then, she put the prepared carp into the flour and rolled it around, then put it in the pot and fried it with hot oil until both sides were golden.

Little sister Su watched intently as she helped with the fire. She was prepared to learn how to cook from her elder sister so that she could help her with the housework.

“Big sister, why did you wrap the fish with flour?” Little sister Su asked curiously.

“This way, the fish skin won’t break, and the fish will be more flavorful.” Su Wen had learned this method from her grandmother since she was a child. By wrapping the fish with flour, not only would the skin not break, but the soup would also be thicker.

Every time, Su Wen would follow her grandmother’s instructions to cook the fish, and she could taste the taste of the fish in her memories.

Su Wen was very skilled at cooking the fish. She quickly stuck the dough that had just been made on the side of the pot and patted the dough into a flat bread. Then, she covered the pot with the lid. When the firewood was burning, the red-braised soup would bubble and gradually spread to one-third of the bread.

When the fish was done, the bread was also done, and it was both flavorful and delicious. The rich soup, along with the freshness of the fish, made people drool with desire.

Su Xiu bathed in the nightlight and dragged her tired body home. She took a deep breath.

“It smells so good! What are we having for dinner?”

“Braised fish, pan-fried dumplings, pickled vegetables and fish soup left over from yesterday.” Su Wen took off the apron on her body and instructed little sister Su to carry the plates, wipe the table, and asked Su Qing to prepare the water for washing her face.

After the water was ready, Su Qing asked Su Wen to wash up first. The three sisters lined up behind Su Wen, waiting for her to wash up before they started.

Su Wen did not stand during the ceremony. She washed her hands like a big sister and wiped them with the towel that little sister Su handed over. Then, she sat at the head of the table.

In the countryside, people usually ate at square tables with eight seats. Facing the door was the upper seat, so only the elders or the head of the family could sit there. Ordinary people would not dare to do it, and when relatives came, they would consciously sit on the left and right sides.

The youngsters would sit with their backs to the door.

Su Wen sat at the head of the table and looked around, silently giving her father a thumbs up.

He thought it through. Without Su Xuewen’s foresight, she would probably be a submissive little wife now taking care of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law!

Little sister Su sat opposite Su Wen and looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to start eating so that she could have a big bite. She had never eaten such beautiful fish before. Just one look at it made her want to swallow her tongue.

Su Wen looked at her younger sister, who was sitting with her back facing the door and remembered that the seat had belonged to the male lead in the novel.

From this, one could see how low the status of a live-in son-in-law was.

“Let’s eat, let’s eat.” Su Wen refused to think about the male protagonist. As long as she thought of the six-pack, tall and strong male protagonist, she would think of the one million reading coins she had put in.

She just wanted to keep the male protagonist, but in the end, she transmigrated.
