The village chief's wife, who was standing nearby, was also very happy. She hadn't expected Shen Cao to have such knowledge at such a young age, and she had never heard of the things she was talking about.

She didn't believe that Shen Cao's claims about making money were true, but she trusted her husband. She had been observing him closely, and seeing his eyes light up the more he listened, she knew he was certain it would work.

She was happy to think about making money in the future. Her family had never approved of her marrying into Shitou Village, but she had fallen for the village chief and wouldn't listen to any advice from her family.

Over the years, her family has been dirt poor. Now her eldest son is almost of marriageable age, but the family can't even afford to repair their house, let alone get him a wife. Because of this, she can't hold her head up in her parents' home.

The first thing she did after earning money was to renovate her house and buy some nice clothes to show off when she went back to her parents' home, so that her family could see that she had made the right choice back then.

Many years later, when she lived in her newly built house, she looked back on this day and was very glad that she had listened to her husband and come to the Shen family.

After Shen Cao and the others saw off the village chief's family, Shen Yu'an also returned after digesting his food.

He greeted Shen Cao with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed today, as he hadn't eaten to this extent in a long time.

However, his judgment was indeed very accurate; Shen Cao was indeed a good cook.

He had eaten braised pork before, but this was the first time he had ever tasted it so delicious.

This made him eagerly anticipate the meal Shen Cao would treat him to after moving to her new home.

Indeed, it was worth it to wait a little longer.

He's going to brag to Wei Siyu when he gets back today, making sure she comes with him. She didn't come, so she deserves to miss out on this meal.

Shen Cao glanced at the sky and asked, "When does Young Master Shen plan to return?"

Shen Yu'an wasn't in a hurry. "Miss Shen, I see you've already packed quite a bit of luggage. Why don't you pick out some things you don't need urgently and move them to the carriage first? I'll take some with me when I go back today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cao thought it was indeed a good idea, but it would be a bit of a hassle for Shen Yu'an, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

"That's excellent, but it will be a bit of a hassle for Young Master Shen."

Shen Yu'an waved his hand, "No trouble at all." Anyway, he didn't have to do anything himself, so it was just a matter of talking.

All the servants of the Shen family sneezed. "Young Master, thank you so much!"

"That's right, just make sure you cook something delicious when you treat us to a meal."

Shen Cao immediately agreed, saying it was a simple matter.

With the helpers brought by Shen Yu'an, Shen Cao's family moved all their large belongings onto the carriage.

After the move was finished, it got dark.

Shen Cao went into the kitchen early. Since the other person had helped them with the chores, it would be impolite not to treat them to a meal. However, they had already finished all the groceries they had bought for lunch.

She remembered that she still had some noodles she had just bought at home, and a patch of scallions left in the yard, so she decided to make a simple scallion oil noodle dish for dinner.

She picked a large bunch of scallions, washed them, and then chopped them into small pieces.

There was half an onion left over from lunch at home, which she sliced ​​into thin strips.

She remembered that there was a basket of eggs that her mother had saved up in the vegetable basket at home. Today, everyone had contributed, so each person fried an egg.

Including Shen Yu'an and the helpers he brought, there were a total of fifteen people at home. There were twenty-one eggs in the basket, enough for each person to have one tonight and one for each person to have for breakfast tomorrow morning. Once the eggs were used up, there was no need to bring them along, as it would be inconvenient to carry eggs on the bumpy journey.

After frying the eggs, she poured enough rapeseed oil into the pan. Once the oil was hot, she first added the white parts of the scallions and onions to fry. After the white parts of the scallions and onions changed color, she added the green parts of the scallions and continued to fry.

After frying until golden brown, remove the fried scallions. Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a small amount of water into the pot and simmer for about three minutes. Once the scallion oil and sauce are fully combined, she ladles out the combined scallion oil.

She went out to take a look and saw that the move was almost finished. She prepared to boil water and cook noodles.

Shen Yu'an looked at the kitchen. He had already smelled the aroma coming from there. The aroma was somewhat familiar, like the smell of scallions.

I wonder what kind of delicious food Shen Cao is planning to make.

After cooking the noodles, Shen Cao poured them into a large bowl. She thought for a moment and then added a spoonful of lard to the bowl, something she had forgotten to do when she was making the scallion oil.

Adding a spoonful of lard to plain noodles will make them even more fragrant.

She poured the cooked scallion oil into a bowl, mixed it well, took a bite, and found it delicious.

After she placed the noodles and fried eggs on the dining table in the main room, she went out to call everyone to prepare for dinner.

"Dinner's ready! Everyone wash your hands and let's eat!" Shen Cao called out to the busy group.

Just as Shen Cao called out, the last piece of luggage was loaded onto the carriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen led the workers who had helped them into the house for a meal.

They arrived at noon and haven't had a proper meal yet.

At noon, their master ate a meal with the Shen family. They could only eat a few bites of dry rations. They thought they would only be able to eat a few bites of dry rations this afternoon as well. Unexpectedly, the Shen family prepared their own dinner.

They glanced at their young master, and seeing him nod, they happily followed Mr. and Mrs. Shen inside.

They could smell the aroma, but unlike their masters, they only dared to sneak a few sniffs and had no hope of actually getting a taste.

Now that we can actually eat it, everyone is very excited.

Shen Cao later felt that the noodles were a bit too monotonous, so she mixed the remaining wild vegetables with the remaining braised meat and made a cold dish.

As soon as Shen Yu'an entered the room, he saw a meal that was different from what he had eaten at noon. He had been looking forward to the meal because of the delicious smell, but he was disappointed to see that it was just a bowl of noodles and a bowl of cold dishes.

Seeing Shen Yu'an's disappointment, Shen Cao explained, "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, these are all the things left at home. We'll have to make do this afternoon."

"It was my fault for being so inconsiderate. Given the current situation at home, it's already very kind of me to be able to cook a meal like this."

Shen Yu'an felt a little apologetic. Perhaps it was because of the big difference between noon and afternoon that he had that expression, but considering that the other party was moving, it was already quite an achievement to be able to cook such a meal.

He mentally slapped himself, but didn't actually do it because he felt ashamed.

Shen Cao first served Shen Yu'an a bowl of noodles, then added a fried egg and fried scallions to the noodles and handed it to him.

Shen Yu'an looked at the noodles handed to him. He thought, "It's not just about how clothes make the man and gold makes the Buddha; even food needs to be presented properly."

When Shen Cao placed the fried egg and fried scallion strips on top of the noodles, he immediately felt that the noodles tasted much better.

The aroma of scallions wafting through the air, along with the reddish-brown noodles in the color of soy sauce, is incredibly tempting.

He picked up a piece of noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes immediately lit up. What kind of noodles were these? He had never eaten them before.

The rich aroma of soy sauce and scallions permeated every strand of noodle, making it incredibly delicious even for someone who doesn't like scallions.

"What kind of noodles are these? They're so delicious!"

"Scallion oil noodles, this is the simplified version. I'll make you the deluxe version next time, it'll taste even better."

"it is good!"
