Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

The table was piled high with bags of coins, and the three siblings were staring with their eyes popping out.

Su Jiang swallowed hard, trying to remain calm. Su Ting jumped up excitedly, "Oh my God, I've never seen so much money before, fifteen taels!"

"Sister, you are such a great lady!"

Even the little girl Su Yue knew the importance of money. She giggled with joy and rushed over to kiss Su An on the face, "Big sister, you are awesome!"

Su An let out a soft cry of "ouch" and a bubble of pride rose in his heart.

She rubbed the three little ones' heads and smiled confidently, "This is nothing. This is just the beginning. In the future, we will become bigger and stronger and spread our buns all over the world."

Upon hearing this, the three siblings' eyes lit up immediately and they cheered in unison.

Li Guihua also became happy, and her hands holding the copper coins were trembling slightly.

"Great! Xiao An, now I can find you a good husband. Who will look down on you? We have so much dowry!"

Su An choked and was speechless for a moment, shaking his head hurriedly.

"Mom, I won't marry! I want to become bigger and stronger and create more glory! If I marry, I don't know who will get the advantage. I want to be the richest woman in the world!"

After hearing this, Li Guihua couldn't help but laugh and nodded her head.

"What the hell are you talking about, you little girl? How can a girl not get married?"

……

The shop was filled with laughter and joy. Outside the shop, a carriage had been parked for a long time, forming a quiet picture with the surrounding blue-gray walls.

Fu Zhun supported his forehead and faintly sniffed the fragrance of buns that had been there all morning.

It was not until the shop closed that he seemed to wake up from a dream. He couldn't help but open his eyes and stared at the shop opposite.

Zhou Li finished the task and just turned back to find the carriage, and saw the guard's expression which was hard to describe.

Are you crazy?

He frowned, ignored him, and got into the carriage to report the results to his master.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I lifted the curtain and got in, a strong aroma of fresh meat rushed into my nose.

Zhou Li stared in disbelief, then saw that the small table was neatly laid out with…steamed buns?!

At first glance, there are at least twenty or thirty of them!

"???"

No?

Your Majesty, are you okay?

He instantly had an indescribable expression on his face.

Fu Zhun glanced at him lightly, and just as he was about to sit down, he smiled and said, "I've been staying in Fuyou County recently. I bought the yard next to the pancake shop."

Zhou Li, who had been running errands for a long time and still hadn’t sat down to relax: “…”

Wait, what's going on here?

What happened during the time he was away?

Zhou Li asked for a long time, but Fu Huai ignored him completely. He just looked at the location of the bun shop lazily and urged him to hurry up and do his business.

Could it be that the prince has taken a fancy to the owner of the pancake shop?

If you think about it carefully, the young boss has a pretty face like a peach blossom.

Especially the one who is very eloquent, with a pair of big, watery eyes that seem to be able to speak.

I didn’t expect that the prince would like this!

Zhou Li suddenly realized and immediately went to check out the shop.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely help you!"

Oh, the iron tree has blossomed! The prince is eager to sleep with the girl!

Zhou Li ran away, his handsome face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Su Anke didn't know that someone was thinking about her. She sneezed and rubbed her nose.

The pepper was so spicy that it made her cry!

There is one pig intestine left today, so she plans to make some pig intestine noodles for everyone to try.

Heat the pan with cold oil, add chili, pepper, ginger, garlic and other seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add sauerkraut and bean sprouts in turn. After a while, add the pig intestines and stir-fry. Finally, season with appropriate amount of light soy sauce, sugar, salt, etc.

He started another pot and when the noodles were cooked, he poured the fried pork intestines and sauerkraut over the hot noodles. Suddenly, the aroma filled the entire kitchen.

"This, this is also made of stinky pig intestines!" Su Ting stared with his eyes wide open and drooled all over the floor.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he reached out and grabbed a bite with a slurp.

Su An quickly grabbed him and slapped him on the forehead, saying with a smile, "Don't be impatient, you little rascal. Eat after the dishes are ready."

The second brother and the younger sister, who were also swallowing their saliva violently, immediately became obedient after seeing this.

Su An took out the remaining pig offal and made stir-fried pig liver and pig heart, and then made braised pork with the newly bought pork.

Stir-fried pork offal, each piece of meat is evenly thin and thick, red and shiny, paired with emerald green peppers and tender yellow ginger slices, the unique taste is overbearing and spicy.

And that plate of braised pork was even more amazing. The bright red meat pieces were fat and lean, shiny and moist, like pieces of crystal agate inlaid in the plate.

When all the dishes were placed on the table, Li Guihua was attracted by the various rich aromas without even being invited.

The three little ones were already scrambling to eat it, their mouths full of oil and they were whining at the delicious taste.

These dishes were actually made by Xiao An?!

"Xiao An, where did you learn this cooking skill? How come mother didn't know you had this cooking skill before?"

Su An looked calm as he picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and gave it to Li Guihua, and then he brought out the speech he had prepared long ago.

"Mom, I learned all these skills from a book I picked up some time ago. Before that, I was always following He Cheng and had no intention of doing this. I was only focused on becoming the top scholar's wife..."

After saying that, she sighed, put on a sad look, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I've given up hope now. I just want to inherit my mother's shop and live a good life with my family!"

Li Guihua couldn't help but feel distressed and touched Su An's soft black hair.

"Alas, mother knows you've suffered a lot. It would be great if you could run the shop properly now, but during the day..."

Su An looked at her blankly.

What happened to her during the day? Was she going to praise her for doing a good job?

Li Guihua's face was filled with sorrow, but she still scolded him harshly, "You really shouldn't have done that. Exposing He Cheng's affairs to others might attract some visitors, but your reputation is ruined. How will you find a good husband in the future?"

"And that ballad, you can never say or sing it again!"

As she spoke, she gave Su Yue a pointed look. The girl was young and couldn't control her mouth, so she had to be kept under close watch.

Su An curled his lips when he heard this, feeling dissatisfied. He put down his chopsticks and said in a louder voice:

"Mom, if the scandal gets out, the blame will go to He Cheng, the unfaithful man. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. Besides, I've already said that I don't want to get married. I just want to run a good shop and make a lot of money!"

Her voice was calm and firm, which immediately made Li Guihua's heart skip a beat.

Xiao An didn't want to get married, and she thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be serious? ?

She stood up and shouted in disbelief, "How shameless! Xiao An, you are a woman. When you are old enough, you should find a man and start a family!"

Su An was speechless. His adoptive mother's thinking was too feudal!

Why do women have to get married? What benefits does marriage bring to women?

Can't you change your life with your own hands?

Before she could even ask, Su Jiang raised his head from his bowl and agreed seriously, "Mom, I think my elder sister is right. She's so capable, why does she have to get married? She can live a prosperous life on her own!"

The other two kids nodded their heads in agreement, believing that whatever their eldest sister said was right.

When Su An saw it, he felt warm in his heart. It was not in vain that he loved these three kids!

But seeing that Li Guihua was so angry that she was about to get confused, she also knew that she couldn't be impatient and just go along with the trend if she wanted to change her mother's mind.

"Mom, as long as I can make money, there's no man I can't find. I can even find you a live-in son-in-law!"

"As for He Cheng, your worries are pointless. The news has already spread outside. The most important thing is for us to make money from this. It can also be considered as making good use of his waste, which is a good deed!"

She had an innocent look on her face, and she used long, soft words to persuade Li Guihua, which made her laugh out loud, and she forgot what she wanted to say.

Hey! This eldest daughter is really going to worry her to death!

But, a live-in son-in-law?

This is a good idea!
