Song Yi was shocked when he saw Su Binglan.

‘So, she’s Wenwu’s legendary sister? She is as beautiful as a fairy and has no cold or n.o.ble temperament.’

Song Yi felt very restrained when facing Su Binglan. He lowered his head and did not know what to say. He felt he was not in a village and that this house belonged to a wealthy family.

Su Wenwu noticed Song Yi’s restraint and said, “Don’t be so reserved, Song Yi.

Just make yourself at home and sit on the bed. I’ll get you some water.”

Song Yi returned to his senses when he heard Su Wenwu’s voice. “There’s no need, Wenwu. I don’t want to impose.”

Without waiting for Song Yi to finish, Su Wenwu interjected thoughtfully, “Song Yi, we’re not strangers. I said you could have lunch with us, so don’t argue. My sister wants to discuss selling stinky tofu with you in the afternoon.”

Song Yi could only nod when he heard his friend’s words.

“Just listen to Wenwu,” Su Binglan said, “You have an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with tofu and stinky tofu. Then you can answer the customers’ questions when you start selling them.

“Third Brother, can you get some tofu from the factory? I’ll prepare a tofu banquet for lunch today.”

Su Wenwu got excited when his sister mentioned having a tofu banquet. After all, she had never made a tofu banquet before. Su Wenwu wondered what kind of delicious tofu dishes his sister would make.

He felt full from breakfast, but when his sister mentioned the banquet, he suddenly felt hungry again. His eyes shone brightly, and he could not wait to eat the food his sister would soon prepare.

Su Wenwu patted Song Yi’s shoulder and said, “That’s great. My little sister usually cooks for us. We can finally enjoy some delicious tofu dishes for the banquet.

Song Yi only learned what tofu was when Su Wenwu explained it to him on the way back to Su Teng Village. Still, he thought it must be delicious.

Su Binglan continued, “Mother should have finished preparing the tofu pudding. Remember to bring some over since I’ll also make stinky tofu.”

Su Wenwu’s stinky tofu craving grew stronger. “I haven’t eaten stinky tofu in a long time, Little Sister. I can finally have it today.”

Stinky tofu tasted unforgettable and delicious, but it smelled strange.

However, if one ignored the smell, one would know how delicious it was.

Su Wenwu said readily before bringing Song Yi to the tofu factory, “I’ll be back as soon as possible, Little Sister.”

That was Song Yi’s first time seeing tofu, and he could smell its rich aroma even from the factory entrance, sniffing the air despite himself.

Su Wenwu used a rice bowl to scoop the tofu and placed them in a bucket to take them home. Then Su Binglan started preparing the tofu banquet.

Su Wenwu quickly went to Su Binglan’s side and said, “Little sister, I’ll be your a.s.sistant.”

He felt thrilled to help his sister whenever she cooked. He would watch her prepare and cook step by step. Whenever his sister served delicious food, he would feel a sense of accomplishment as if he had made it himself.

Su Binglan noticed Su Wenwu’s enthusiasm and smiled. “All right, you can help, Third Brother.”

Song Yi felt anxious as he had nothing to do, so he said, “I’d like to help, too, Miss Su!”

Su Binglan looked at Song Yi’s awkward expression and said, “That’s okay. My third brother will help. Don’t feel so restrained. You can look around in the backyard where the medicinal herbs are. My second brother’s apprentices are there planting more herbs.”

Su Wenxiu was busy every day. Sometimes, he would go to town and study. Other times, he would be in the backyard with his apprentices to plant herbs and teach medical skills.

It was as if he had gone crazy studying every day. Whenever Su Binglan had time, she would share more of her knowledge with him. Sometimes, she would even write down some medical things at night for Su Wenxiu to read during the day.

That was why Su Wenxiu had made significant progress. He also started practicing on small animals according to his sister’s methods. With that, he garnered much surgical knowledge.

Song Yi saw a vast medicinal field when he went to look at the backyard. He realized the family had much more land in their big house and had sectioned off a portion to grow medicinal herbs. Song Yi was astounded when he saw so many herbs.

Su Wenxiu did not notice him as his three apprentices managed the herbs while listing to their master’s medical knowledge. The apprentices looked like they were in a trance.

Su Binglan first made minced meat and tofu soup.

She soaked the dried mushrooms for a while and chopped the tofu to place them in a large bowl when they were soft. After that, she broke the egg, added salt, and poured it into the tofu.

Then she added the water she used to soak the mushrooms. Soon after, Su Wenwu stirred it and let it simmer.

Su Binglan took more mushrooms, sliced carrots, then chopped the scallions, ginger, and garlic. After steaming the tofu, Su Wenwu began to stir-fry the meat filling.

Afterward, he added the ingredient his sister had prepared, added seasoning, and stir-fried it for a little while more.

Su Binglan put the stir-fried minced meat into the egg drop soup and completed the dish. Soon after, she made garlic tofu, braised tofu, pan-fried tofu, preserved egg tofu, and tofu with eggplants.

She even made tofu and mushroom soup.

“I’ll make some stinky tofu soon, and then we can eat.”

The dishes looked delicious when Su Binglan served them. At that moment, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua returned. The older couple could smell the enticing fragrance when they entered the house.

The couple did not even need to guess to know that their daughter was the one who cooked all the delicious food. The dishes also smelled different from the food they had eaten in the past. They knew their daughter must’ve made new food for them to try.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao quickly entered the house while Su Binglan made stinky tofu. Then Su Wenwu went to the backyard to call Su Wenxiu, Song Yi, and the three apprentices.

Immediately after, everyone sat around the dining table and ate happily. The various tofu dishes tasted different to everyone. Song Yi did not dare to pick the food up with his chopsticks as he was too shy.

Ultimately, Su Wenwu took the initiative to put food into Song Yi’s bowl, saying, “Quickly, eat.”

Even Shen Qiuhua took care of Song Yi. “You’re not an outsider hear, dear boy. Binglan made so much food, so hurry and eat while they’re still warm.

Only then did Song Yi start eating. He could not believe how many delicious dishes Su Binglan had made.

‘So, this is what tofu can taste like. The stinky tofu is delicious, too!’ Song Yi felt so touched that he became teary-eyed. He tried to control his emotions and not let himself cry.

That was the most filling meal Song Yi had ever had. He had never eaten such delicious food before.

Immediately after finis.h.i.+ng their meal, Su Xueye’s father brought over a small dining cart..
