The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

The cart was filled with fresh and hot snail noodles, as well as fragrant seasonings and some snacks. Shen Yan smiled and said to Wang Lin, "Let's give it a try. Maybe the kitten will come to keep us company."

Wang Lin's eyes were shining with excitement as she and Shen Yan waited for the first customer to arrive. After a while, a passerby stopped and was attracted by the food on the cart.

"Snail noodles! I haven't eaten it for a long time!" the passerby said happily and quickly ordered one.

Shen Yan and Wang Lin happily served him a bowl of hot snail noodles. He took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

Slowly, more people began to gather and taste the food made by Shen Yan. The streets were filled with shouts and laughter, and the atmosphere became lively.

Although the kitten had not appeared yet, Wang Lin and Shen Yan were in a particularly good mood.

They enjoyed communicating with their neighbors and felt the joy and satisfaction brought by the small stalls.

Whether the kitten comes back or not, they decided to continue setting up the street stall and providing people with delicious food and warm smiles.

Shen Yan made some money that day, but since it was at the market, she just wanted to buy some things for her family.

On that day, Shen Yan made some money selling snail noodles on the street and was in a good mood. She and her brother Wang Jun decided to buy some daily necessities such as rice, flour and oil at the market to prepare for emergencies.

First, they came to a rice shop. The shop displayed various types of rice, and Shen Yan carefully selected them. She chose a bag of high-quality white rice, ensuring that the grains were full and fragrant. Seeing Shen Yan's careful selection, the shop owner enthusiastically recommended several types of rice with unique tastes to her. Shen Yan listened and felt that the shop owner's words made sense, so she decided to buy some more to try.

Next, they came to a flour shop. The flour bags in the shop were piled up into a small mountain, with many kinds of flour.

Shen Yan selected several types of flour for different uses, including flour for making pasta and flour for baking cakes.

She also bought some sweet potato flour, corn flour, etc., so that she could prepare a variety of delicious food for her family.

Then they walked into an oil shop, which was filled with various oils, including rapeseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc.

Shen Yan smelled the aroma of each oil, chose carefully, and finally decided to buy some rapeseed oil and peanut oil because these oils were both affordable and tasted good.

The shop owner also introduced some newly launched oil products to Shen Yan. She listened and wrote down the interesting information.

After purchasing rice, flour, oil and other daily necessities, Shen Yan and Wang Jun also strolled around the market. They bought some dried goods, such as mushrooms, fungus, kelp, etc., as well as some fresh vegetables and fruits.

Shen Yan also bought some snacks for Wang Jun, letting him chew them happily.

After shopping, Shen Yan and Wang Jun returned home with heavy bags.

As they walked, they talked about what they had gained today and happily thought about how to prepare a sumptuous dinner for their family.

They enjoyed the fun and warm atmosphere of shopping at the market, and looked forward to using the ingredients to prepare delicious meals for their families when they got home.

After returning home, Shen Yan organized the purchased ingredients in order.

She first took out the flours for different purposes and placed them in a dry and ventilated place.

Sweet potato flour and corn flour are carefully packed in clay pots to keep them fresh.

Then, Shen Yan began to prepare lunch.

She took out some tender meat filling, added the right amount of seasonings and onions, ginger and garlic, stirred them evenly and left them for a while to let the seasoning soak in. On the side, she soaked some dried black fungus and shiitake mushrooms in water, waited for them to soften, and then carefully chopped them into small pieces for later use.

Shen Yan then took out a small bowl of flour, added an appropriate amount of water, and made a batter. She gently stirred until the batter became fine and smooth. Then, she mixed the minced meat, chopped black fungus and shiitake mushrooms, and some seasonings together, stirring evenly to form a fragrant filling.

Next, Shen Yan began to wrap the small meatballs. She first kneaded the appropriate amount of fillings into evenly sized meatballs, and then gently coated them with a layer of batter to make each meatball evenly coated.

While doing this, she patted the balls gently with her hands from time to time to make their surface smoother and more even.

After everything was ready, Shen Yan lit the stove and slowly heated the rapeseed oil and peanut oil in the pot. When the oil temperature was moderate, she put the small balls coated with batter into the pot one by one, turning them carefully to allow them to be evenly heated until they were golden and crispy.

The fried meatballs gave off an alluring aroma, and Shen Yan contentedly fished them out of the pot, drained the oil, and placed them on a plate. She also prepared a small dish of homemade special chili sauce, which added a delicious flavor to these fragrant meatballs.

"Jun'er, Lin'er, come and eat!"

Lunch was ready, and Shen Yan and Wang Jun sat down to enjoy it together.

With every bite they took, they could feel the crispy outside and tender inside of the meatballs, as well as the mixed aroma of spices and fillings.

They ate and talked about interesting things at the market. Laughter and delicious food filled the house, which was full of the warmth and happiness of home.

After dinner, Shen Yan decided to go to the back mountain to tidy up the fruit trees and pick some wild fruits.

Shen Yan wiped her hands and said to Wang Jun and Wang Lin with a smile: "After dinner, let's go to the back mountain to pick some wild fruits. Fresh wild fruits are much more delicious than those bought in the market."

Wang Lin jumped up excitedly, "Yes, yes! I want to eat wild strawberries and blueberries!"

Wang Jun also smiled and nodded, "Good idea! I also like those sour and sweet wild fruits."

They put on long-sleeved clothes and hats, prepared their picking baskets and water bottles, and set off to the back mountain. Along the trail, they passed through the lush woods, listening to the birds and insects, and enjoying the fresh air and warm sunshine.

Finally, they came to a forest of fruit trees, with alluring wild fruits hanging on the trees. Wang Lin cheered and ran to a wild strawberry tree, carefully picking the bright red fruits. Shen Yan took Wang Jun to a wild blueberry bush, pointed at the small blue fruits and said, "These wild blueberries are bright in color and taste sweet and sour, especially suitable for making snacks or jams."

Wang Jun followed Shen Yan and they gently picked the plump wild blueberries and put them into the basket.

During the picking process, Wang Jun would take out a kettle from time to time to pour cool water for everyone to keep them refreshed.

Soon, the basket was filled with various wild fruits. Wang Lin and Wang Jun looked at their harvest with satisfaction.

Shen Yan smiled and said, "We have a good harvest of wild fruits today. We can go home and make some jam or juice, or some desserts."

"Sister, what is dessert?" Wang Lin stared at Shen Yan with wide eyes.
