Others were also shocked. They didn't understand the chemical principles involved and just found it incredible.

Xu Si smiled and said nothing.

I found a wooden box, poured it in, and smoothed it out. So far, I was halfway successful.

Several people were chattering happily. Three women made a big show. Not to mention there were four of them, there was also a little kid.

Shen Yanchen leaned on the window and looked out. He saw their excited expressions but had no idea what they were doing.

I was extremely curious and wanted to go out and take a look, but I was a little conflicted, thinking it would be embarrassing to go out alone.

If they asked me to come over, I would do it reluctantly, Shen Yanchen thought to himself.

But he was actually overthinking it. No one would care if he couldn't get by, and no one expected him to do anything. If he was hungry, he would naturally find food for himself.

He kept waiting like this, and his stomach started to growl with hunger.

Even after Xu Si had finished cooking, no one came to call him.

He stamped his feet in frustration, feeling as if he had punched cotton. He thought about it over and over again, and it seemed nothing happened to others.

He sat down at the dining table with a droopy face, as if he had admitted defeat.

"Hey, Achen is back?"

"Mom, I didn't go out today!" He felt like he was going to be mad to death.

Lou Yuexin was a little surprised. She was busy embroidering at the beginning of the morning, and then she was so happy with the soap that she didn't notice it.

But it didn't make any difference whether she went out or not. She was only surprised for a moment and said "Oh" to show that she understood.

"If I don't go out, you won't say anything?" Shen Yanchen asked again without giving up.

Lou Yuexin was still confused, but Xu Si already knew what he meant.

It's simply that he feels that he has made great changes, but no one thinks it's a big deal, and he feels ignored.

"It's better if you don't go out. With a man at home, others won't dare to bully us easily." Xu Si praised insincerely.

The others looked up at her in shock, unable to believe that she would say such a thing.

They knew whether he could protect them or not. He couldn't even beat Xu Si. If anyone picked a fight with him, he would be in trouble.

Shen Yanchen himself was confused and felt that he had been recognized. As expected, this family could not do without him, so he would make some sacrifices and give them a sense of security at home.

Today's lunch is stir-fried cabbage with lard, cold cucumber salad, and vegetarian grilled radish slices, served with steamed corn bread.

Xu Si especially likes to eat vegetarian grilled radish slices, which are served with shiitake mushrooms and always taste like oden.

The food I made in the evening was pork lard and cabbage buns. They were very big, but Xu Si was full after eating only two.

"I suddenly feel that life now is not bad." Shen Yanchen's incoherent words surprised everyone.

Yes, except that I am not as rich as before, every day is very fulfilling now. My family is together, I am healthy, I have no illness or disaster, and I am not hungry. I have already surpassed most people.

Since I have delicious food every day, I have more things to look forward to in life. I look forward to lunch every morning, and after digesting some in the afternoon, I look forward to dinner. The day goes by very quickly.

If Xu Si were to say, this might be the charm of food.

"During lunch today, Brother Yang praised the food cooked by Ah Si as really good." Shen Anyi said loudly.

Brother Yang was the man Shen Jingchuan helped up that day.

Ever since that incident, he has been in contact with Shen Anyi and his son, and the three of them have become a group.

Brother Yang is two years older than Shen Anyi. He is only 40 this year, but he looks much older than him.

There are five people in Brother Yang's family. His mother is seriously ill and bedridden, and his wife makes a living by washing clothes for others. His son is married but has no children yet. The couple works from dawn to dusk selling tofu, but they don't make much money.

Life was hard at home and he had to pay for his mother's medical treatment, so he had no choice but to do hard labor so that he could earn more and reduce the burden.

These are what the other party said to him during the conversation. Shen Anyi still remembers that when the other party was narrating, there seemed to be no light in his eyes, only a dead silence towards life.

But as a son, as a husband, and as a father, each identity made him persist and not give up.

Brother Yang only ate some coarse flour steamed bread and pickles at noon every day. Sometimes he couldn't stand it and wanted to share some of his food with the other party, but Brother Yang refused with a simple smile.

Shen Anyi also realized that the other party didn't want to take advantage of him, which made him feel very rare.

Recently, with the delicious food provided by Asi and the high-intensity labor, I have become much stronger.

Brother Yang's body looked increasingly weaker.

Today, he had to forcefully pick up a piece of food from Brother Yang with his chopsticks before the other party accepted it.

"Of course, what Ah Si cooks is naturally delicious." Lou Yuexin was very proud.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, the supervisor and many of my co-workers asked me where I bought the rice from, saying it smelled better than the food from the stall next door."

Shen Anyi felt somewhat smug when he thought of the envious expressions on their faces when they found out that it was made by themselves.

When Xu Si heard this, an idea came to his mind.

"Dad, what do they usually eat?"

"Some people also have their own meals delivered, and some people just eat a bowl of noodles nearby, or buy a sesame cake, some buns, etc."

Shen Anyi recalled that most people were reluctant to spend too much money anyway, so just eating enough was enough.

Seeing Xu Si's serious thinking, Lou Yuexin asked with concern, "What are you thinking about?"

"Mom, what do you say we should go to the dock and set up a stall to sell food?"

As soon as Xu Si said this, everyone quieted down and began to think about this possibility. Although Qi Ning didn't understand, he was sensible enough to stop talking.

"I think we can give it a try," Shen Anyi was the first to express his opinion.

As the head of the family, he is willing to support any idea as long as it is there.

Lou Yuexin was a little hesitant. She was in charge of the money and she knew how much the family had.

Especially during this period, the cost of food has increased, which means higher expenses.

想到明年每人还要交人头税,14岁以下交60文,14岁以上每人交150文,这就要1两又20文。

I also have to save money to send Qining to school. Although he can't take the imperial examination, he still has to study.

Although they have received education, they can only teach him a few words. Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

When the time comes, buying paper, pens, tuition fees, etc. will be another considerable expense.

But looking at Xu Si's serious expression and considering her cooking skills, she felt that she could give it a try. If she could make money, none of this would be a problem.

She made up her mind, "I think it's feasible."

The elders all agreed, and the others didn't want to stop it, and everyone agreed.

"What are you going to sell?"

"The noodles, buns, and sesame cakes that Dad often eat are definitely not for sale.

They are doing well there, and if you suddenly try to steal their business, it will easily lead to conflicts. Besides, we don’t have any roots here, and it will be troublesome if we offend the wrong people.”
