Su Binglan added the potatoes to the pot and stir-fried them. Soon after, she placed the peeled garlic into the mix. The fragrance from the pot became even more potent, and the whole family could smell it.

Everyone took in the enjoyable fragrance.

“So this is the large plate of stir-fried chicken you mentioned. It’s different from the chicken dishes we’ve seen.” Su Wenzhe looked at the color of the chicken in the pot and felt hungry.

The family had eaten more than half the rice cakes just now but felt hungry again after smelling the fragrance of the stir-fried chicken. Su Binglan’s cooking always enticed everyone’s appet.i.te because it smelled good.

Su Wenxiu looked at the dish and said, “We’ve never made a chicken dish that looks like this. Most of the time, we steam or stew chicken. I bet this tastes completely different from steamed chicken.”

As Su Binglan stirred the chicken, she said, “Stewed and steamed chicken taste milder. Chicken soup is delicious and can nourish the body, but this stir-fried chicken tastes stronger and more flavorful with the main dish.

“You can make the same meat taste different depending on your cooking methods.’

Su Wenwu noticed there was not much firewood left in the furnace, so he went to get more from the yard. Before that, he looked into the pot and said, “It’ll be delicious, no matter the cooking method. After all, my sister is the one who made this dish.

“Fortunately, I prepared two chickens, or it wouldn’t be enough.” Su Wenwu thought he could finish the whole thing himself and was afraid there would not be enough for his family.

As the eldest young master of the Shen family and a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley, Shen Mohen had eaten all kinds of delicacies. However, he had never seen such a dish or smelled anything this fragrant.

‘The smell alone tells me how delicious it’ll be. Otherwise, King Lan Ruozhu and his subordinates wouldn’t be so full of praise. If not for the king being so busy, he would’ve returned here long ago.’

Shen Mohen was also excited because he had finally found his aunt and discovered that Su Binglan was his cousin.

‘I wonder if I can freeload. The fragrance makes me even more reluctant to return to the capital. Although I’ve eaten rice cakes elsewhere, they never tasted this good.

‘I’ve also eaten plenty of chicken dishes, but none can compare to this one. I know it’ll be delicious, even though I haven’t tried it yet.’

Shen Mohen felt hungry and wanted to eat. However, he was not much of a foodie in the past, and his appet.i.te was not as apparent. He thought it was strange, perhaps because the atmosphere was not as lively back then or the food he used to have was not as fragrant.

Su Binglan smiled. “You might think the chicken is delicious, but the sauce tastes even better, especially if you dip the main dish in it.”

After seasoning the mixture, Su Binglan added water to stew it.

“Help me watch the fire,” Su Binglan told Luo Jin’an, “You remove the stew from the pot soon. I’ll go and prepare the thousand-layer cakes.”

Su Binglan and her husband had a tacit understanding. She knew Luo Jin’an would understand her without much explanation.

“Thousand-layer cakes?” Su Wenzhe was puzzled.

‘My sister even knows how to make thousand-layer cakes?’

He remembered someone selling those things at Su Teng Market. He had bought and eaten it, thinking the taste was okay. He did not mention how delicious it was because he had grown accustomed to his sister’s delicious food.

“Yes, a thousand-layer cake. It’ll be a nice side dish to complement the stir-fried chicken we just made.”

Su Wenxiu could not wait to eat, but he looked at the remaining rice cakes and said, “Aren’t we going to eat the stir-fried chicken with those?”

Su Binglan had already taken out the dough and was about to knead it. She said, “It’s all the same. Now you have more options and can choose if you want to eat the chicken with the rice cakes or the thousand-layer cake.

“You can have the rice cakes with the chicken and the cake with the stew.” Su Binglan was in high spirits and wanted to prepare another dish.

Shen Qiuhua felt she had nothing to do, so she offered, “Let me knead the dough.”

“That’s okay, Mother. I’ll be quick. Also, one must pay attention when kneading the dough, and I can control my strength.” Su Binglan knew how to knead the dough best.

She had dealt with dough for a long time, so she knew how to be efficient and productive. She added spiritual spring water to the dough to ensure the cake was as delicious as possible.

After Su Binglan kneaded the dough, Shen Qiuhua placed a flat board and rolling pin on the table. Su Binglan prepared the thousand-layer cake by rolling the dough and applying oil before stacking them to form the cake.

After serving the stir-fried chicken, Su Binglan started cooking the cakes. She flipped them a few times, ensuring both sides were golden-brown.

The sky was dark when it was finally time to eat. Everyone sat around the dining table and took the chicken to taste it. The family enjoyed the lingering taste as the dish had a hint of spiciness.

“Of course, it’s delicious!”

Su Wenzhe and the rest of the family had eaten plenty of Su Binglan’s dishes. Still, they looked intoxicated when they tried the stir-fried chicken for the first time. Since everyone was hungry, the food tasted even better.

Su Wenxiu said, “Sister said the cake tastes better with the sauce, so I want to try it.”

He dipped a small piece of cake in the sauce before eating it. “Wow, it does taste better like this!”

He finished his cake in just two bites, and Su Wenwu joined in. “I’ll try that too.”

Su Wenwu enjoyed eating rice cakes because they were sweet. Although the family had different tastes, they enjoyed this evenings dinner. Even Shen Mohen’s appet.i.te grew after eating a piece of chicken.

He typically did not eat much but felt he could eat everything on the table this time. Even Yue Huachen slowly enjoyed the food.

Shen Qiuhua was thrilled as she said, “Eat more, everyone! Mohen, make yourself at home, okay?”

Shen Mohen was delighted. He felt like a door to a new world had opened after finally finding his aunt.

Shen Qiuhua felt Yue Huachen was too quiet, making her heart ache. She said,

“You can eat more, too, Huacheng.”

She could not help but put some more food in Yue Huachen’s bowl, and the latter said gently, “Thank you, Miss Shen.”

Shen Qiuhua realized Yue Huachen radiated a sense of elegance and was very well-educated. She suspected he was not an ordinary person..
