The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 5 Su Lun Cooks
Deep in the courtyard of the Su family, there is an ancient well, which brings many conveniences to daily water collection. However, the way of drawing water reveals a primitive charm - just tie a rope firmly on the wooden barrel, and then use the strength of your hands to gently pull the clear well water to your eyes. Su Lun couldn't help but fall into nostalgia for the modern shaking well. He yearned for the convenience of a light press to gush out a clear spring, but reality told him that such wisdom was beyond his reach. Su Lun struggled to lift a few buckets of water and put them into the water tank. Just this little thing, he actually felt a little tired. The original owner's physical fitness is not very good, it seems that he needs to strengthen his exercise. Su Lun thought silently.
After fetching water, Su Lun walked into the kitchen. Su's mother was gone. Su Zheng was a grown man. Although he would occasionally help his mother with cooking when she was busy, his skills were limited. As a modern high school student with a good family background, Su Lun did not have the ancient idea of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen. On the contrary, he was a good cook and could make some snacks. After all, in the previous life, not only did they have to solve the problem of food and clothing, but making and selling food was also a skill for him and his grandmother to make a living!
On the other side, Su Zheng was a little worried at first, but thinking of his own skills, he let Su Lun do it, and went back to the inner room, picked up paper and pen and started writing. Tomorrow is the day for the children to learn calligraphy. There are not many people in Sujia Village who can read. It’s not that the villagers don’t want to send their children to school, but most of them can’t afford the cost of reading. Su Zheng found the village chief and offered to teach the children in the village to read for free, but asked the children to bring their own paper and pen, and asked the villagers to treat his brother well! The villagers of Sujia Village are grateful to Su Zheng from the bottom of their hearts. Their ancestors have lived here for generations and have been farming for many years, but they don’t know the word "land." Until Su Zheng came, their children have the opportunity to study! Not seeking fame and fortune, it’s good to know a few more words. Maybe they can do other things in the future! Although Su Zheng said that he would not charge any fees, not all the children who came to school came empty-handed. Some would bring eggs from home or wild fruits they had stepped on. Children from poor families would take the initiative to help the Su family clean up and collect firewood. Even if they saw the stupid Su Lun, they would not laugh at him or tease him. Therefore, although the Su family was not rich, they were not too sad.
Su Lun's first time cooking here was not as smooth as he had imagined! He was used to the modern kitchen in his previous life, and when he looked at the earthen stove in front of him, Su Lun held his forehead. Fortunately, he grew up in the village, and the kitchen at home when he was a child was not much better than this!
Su Lun carefully poured the rice grains into the pot and began to wash them carefully. Each grain of rice rolled in the water, as if showing him its purity and beauty.
However, when Su Lun was about to light the stove, a problem arose. Although he had used a clay stove when he was a child, there were matches and lighters at that time to easily light the flame. But now, there was only an old fire starter in front of him.
Su Lun couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself: "How do I use this thing?" He tried to recall the scenes of using tinderboxes on TV and tried to imitate their movements. After some attempts, he finally succeeded in making the sparks fall on the firewood.
Watching the weak flame gradually grow bigger, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, I am a little smart, otherwise I would have gone hungry today!"
However, as a science student, Su Lun soon realized that this primitive way of making fire was not the most ideal choice. So he began to think about how to improve the process, perhaps using some scientific knowledge to design a more efficient and convenient fire-starting tool.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew and almost blew out the fire. Su Lun quickly stretched out his hand to protect the flame, and sighed in his heart: "Alas, it seems that it is really not easy to survive in this world..." Su Lun thought that he had won awards in the provincial physics and chemistry competitions after all, and he must make matches when he has the chance!
Su Lun was thinking about something else when he suddenly smelled a burnt smell. Oops, the fire was too big and the bottom of the pot was burnt... Su Lun quickly opened the lid of the pot to let the steam out, then turned down the fire, leaving only a little to simmer, then washed the pot and cooked. Su Lun found a few eggs left in the kitchen, and thinking that his elder brother's leg injury needed nutrition, he took out two and made a poached egg soup, and fried a vegetable and a bean.
In this era, of course, dishes don’t have much oil or water. Look, it turned yellow right after it was fried. Su Lun tried the taste and curled his lips. Sure enough, dishes without oil are not very delicious. The advantage is that they are pure natural, green, pollution-free and healthy! Su Lun comforted himself.
After arranging the food in an orderly manner, Su Lun happily called his brother to share lunch together.
Su Zheng was looking at the delicious and fragrant food in front of him, and was secretly surprised. He didn't have much expectation on whether Allen could make a decent meal, after all, Allen had never been in the kitchen before. However, the food in front of him surprised him greatly - whether it was the appearance of the dishes or the tempting aroma, it was enough to prove that Allen did have extraordinary talent and hard work in cooking.
"Alan is so awesome! He's even better than my big brother!" Su Zheng praised generously, with joy and pride in his eyes.
Hearing his brother's praise, Allen's face flushed with shyness, but more of it was happiness and satisfaction. He responded modestly: "Big brother, thank you for the compliment. This is also my first time trying to cook, and I still have a lot to learn and improve. I don't know if these dishes will suit your taste, but I hope I won't disappoint you. Big brother, don't just stand there and talk, sit down and try them!"
After that, Allen enthusiastically pulled Su Zheng to sit down, and looked forward to watching him taste the delicacies he cooked. The two brothers sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing as they shared this warm and beautiful moment. "The two brothers sat down together to have their first real meal. At this moment, Su Zheng's admiration for his brother became stronger. He deeply understood that his brother had such outstanding talents and gifts. What a pity it would be if he could not give full play to them due to the limitations of the family's financial conditions! Therefore, a firm belief took root in Su Zheng's heart: no matter what, he would try his best to make money to support his family!
He secretly vowed that no matter how hard or difficult it was, he would never let his brother suffer any injustice or be affected. He would use his hard-working hands to create a good growth environment for his brother so that he could study without distraction and obtain honors.
Su Zheng knows that this is not an easy road, but he firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to overcome many difficulties. For this, he is willing to pay more sweat and effort, because in his eyes, nothing is more important than his brother's future!
