My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Because the person they were looking for - Su Meihua, was busy there. Speaking of Su Meihua, she had a very sad experience.

During that terrible journey to escape famine, she not only lost her beloved husband and children, but was also expelled by her ruthless in-laws.

From then on, she had to embark on a wandering journey alone, barely making a living by begging from others along the way.

However, fate did not seem to let this poor woman off easily, until one day, she accidentally met her younger sister Su Lanhua, who had suffered the same misfortune and was cruelly driven away by her in-laws.

At that time, Su Lanhua had just gotten married and was even three months pregnant, but even so, she was forced to flee with everyone else. She endured hardships along the way, sleeping in the open air and wandering around, which ultimately led to her miscarriage.

Instead of showing any sympathy for her, her husband's family regarded her as an unlucky person and mercilessly gave her a letter of divorce and kicked her out of the house.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Su Meihua appeared in time and saved her sister who was on the verge of death.

In this way, the two sisters depended on each other and continued to make a living by begging. After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at this prosperous imperial city.

In order to save their lives, the poor sisters had to sell themselves. They wandered all the way and experienced hardships, and were finally bought by the kind-hearted Lin Qingxue and brought home.

However, fate did not seem to let them off. Not long after being sold into slavery, the two sisters met someone from the same hometown by chance.

From this fellow villager, they learned a heartbreaking news: their parents, uncles, grandparents, and other brothers and sisters in the family had all passed away!

Some of them starved to death due to unbearable hunger; others unfortunately became victims of looting by refugees and bandits and were brutally killed.

Lin Qingxue and her sister walked into the kitchen. As soon as she entered, she placed the various ingredients in her hands steadily on the chopping board.

Then, she turned to Su Meihua, who was standing at a loss, and said, "Meihua, come over here and help light the fire! I'll teach you how to make delicious barbecue. After you learn, we can stop having hot pot and switch to barbecue. It's still too hot to eat hot pot in the summer."

Hearing this, Su Meihua hurried to the stove and followed Lin Qingxue's instructions.

Before long, the charcoal fire for the barbecue was ready, and the kitchen was filled with a warm smell of smoke.

The fresh meat slices and juicy vegetables that had been prepared long ago were neatly placed on the counter, waiting to be processed into tempting delicacies.

Lin Qingxue skillfully picked up a skewer of meat slices, gently placed it on the grill, and kept turning it over. At the same time, she did not forget to explain the techniques and key points to Su Meihua who was learning seriously beside her.

Under Lin Qingxue's patient guidance, Su Meihua gradually mastered the essentials and began to grill the skewers of vegetables in front of her.

As time passed, the meat and vegetables gradually turned golden and crispy on the charcoal fire, and waves of rich aroma filled the air.

Especially when they are combined with carefully prepared sauces, the wonderful taste is even more mouth-watering.

"Meihua, Qingyue, come and try this and see how it tastes."

As the words fell, Lin Qingxue came over with two large bowls full of barbecue, smiling. The food in the bowls was emitting bursts of tempting aroma, making people salivate.

Before long, the delicious food carefully grilled by Lin Qingxue and Su Meihua was completed. The golden, crispy and tender grilled meat was neatly placed in the bowl, looking particularly tempting.

Lin Qingxue first took a light bite of the barbecue she made herself, chewed it carefully and savored it, then picked up a piece of meat roasted with plum flowers and put it into her mouth.

Lin Qingyue and Su Meihua, who were standing by, didn't act shy at all when they heard the greeting. They simply reached out and took the barbecue from the bowl and put it into their mouths to enjoy it.

After everyone had finished tasting, Su Meihua was the first to express her opinion: "Fourth Miss, you roasted the meat for a long time, so it's very chewy and suitable for people with good teeth. My roasted meat tastes a bit greasy."

After hearing Su Meihua's comments, Lin Qingyue seemed a little hesitant. She frowned and thought for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "Oh, actually, I think! What you two grilled is very delicious! To be honest, I really can't taste much difference!"

After saying that, she smiled embarrassedly and continued to enjoy the delicious food in front of her.

"Meihua, I'll leave this matter to you. You must think carefully about how to improve it and strive to make our barbecue more delicious and unique. In the next two days, I will give your boss a detailed list of all the barbecue varieties we will make. Oh, and you should also seize the time to practice more in the next two days. Also, you can choose two smart apprentices from the shop to work with you. After all, if the number of customers increases in the future, we won't be able to handle it alone."

As Lin Qingxue spoke, she picked up a string of fragrant grilled skewers from the bowl and took a bite with relish.

Hmm...it tastes really good! However, it's a bit irritating. She thought to herself: I have to quickly prepare some herbal tea and sour plum soup to reduce heatiness. Otherwise, if I keep eating like this every day, I'm bound to get irritated.

Su Meihua, who was standing nearby, quickly nodded and agreed, "I understand, Fourth Miss. Don't worry, I will do my best to do this. I don't mind teaching others how to do it. As long as you agree, I have no problem with it."

"I'm confident in your ability to do things. Okay, Meihua, if there's nothing else, we'll go back," Lin Qingxue put down the chopsticks in her hand and said to Su Meihua with a smile. Lin Qingyue on the side also nodded, indicating that she agreed with her sister.

When Su Meihua heard this, she quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss, please take care."

After saying that, she personally escorted Lin Qingxue and her sister to the door, and watched them leave before turning around and going into the kitchen to busy herself.

When Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue walked out of the Xicheng Food Building, they found that it was completely dark outside. The lanterns on both sides of the street emitted a dim light, illuminating the road under the feet of pedestrians. The two of them walked carefully, carrying the various medicinal materials they had just bought for making sour plum soup.
