Zi Die blinked at Su Wenxiu and looked at him with anticipation. Since she liked him, she would get close to him by helping him with the medicinal cuisine shop.

Although Su Wenxiu was only nineteen, he thought about how he looked when he was Zi Die’s age. He seemed to understand her feelings better now. After all, he was just as sincere and pure as Zi Die at her age.

Su Wenxiu’s heart softened when he faced her. He then said, “All right, that sounds good.”

Zi Die could hear everything in the bustling food street. She smiled brightly when Su Wenxiu agreed. She asked, “Does that mean you’ll teach me how to cook?”

Su Wenxiu gently responded, “I’ll teach you as long as you’re willing to learn.” Zi Die’s heart skipped a beat from excitement. “Thank you, Professor.” Her thoughts were undeniable through her expression. Su Wenxiu smiled as he looked at her and said, “Let’s go in and eat.”

When the duo entered, the waitstaff led them to a window seat on the second floor. The noodle shop had two floors with many neatly arranged tables and chairs to accommodate many people.

The customers were considerate and would eat quickly. They would then leave after eating as many others also came to eat.

“What would you like to eat?” a waitstaff asked.

“We’ll have two bowls of pickled fish noodles, please,” Su Wenxiu said.

“All right, please wait a moment while we prepare your food.”

The pickled fish noodles were Big Bowl Noodles’ most famous dish. Still, the service was quick, and the customers did not have to wait for a long time. Before long, the waitstaff brought two bowls of pickled fish noodles.

“Please enjoy.”

“Thank you!” Zi Die was thrilled to see the dish in front of her. She could not help but feel excited because Su Wenxiu sat before her.

The latter’s expression softened when he saw how cheerful Zi Die was. “Hurry up and eat before it gets cold.”

“Okay, Professor. Join me.”

As the two ate, Zi Die looked up at Su Wenxiu and realized how elegant he looked, even though he ate quickly. He did not even make a sound when he ate the noodles, but Zi Die was.

“What’s wrong?” Su Wenxiu asked, sensing Zi Die’s gaze.

The latter blushed, shook her head, and awkwardly said, “No, I’m just a little less graceful when I eat.”

Su Wenxiu said, “Not at all. I think it’s more fragrant when you slurp the noodles. I do the same thing at home.”

He would be less graceful when eating at home but would restrain himself a little when eating outside. Whenever Su Binglan cooked, the whole family would eat enthusiastically.

Zi Die sighed in relief when she saw Su Wenxiu’s gentle expression. At that moment, Su Wenxiu looked at the beautiful scenery through the window. He could see the bustling food street and even Su Teng Village in the distance.

The spring breeze was warm, and summer would arrive in a few months. The wind would blow by and caress people’s faces, making them feel the breath of spring.

After the meal, Su Wenxiu sent Zi Die back to the medical school while he went home.

When Su Binglan got home, she prepared lunch for her parents. The older couple looked forward to having their daughter’s food again. One of them asked, “Did you get a new ingredient from Yang County?”

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were also excited when Su Binglan returned. After all, she would always have something new to cook after returning from her travels.

Su Binglan smiled and said, “I’ll make tomato eggs and chicken popcorn for lunch. We can eat them with ketchup. I’ll also make pork ribs.”

Su Fengmao and the others became hungry just thinking about it. Su Wenzhe curiously asked, “What do tomatoes look like, Sister?”

Su Binglan took out the tomatoes she had brought from Yang County. She had stored and planted many of them in her pocket dimension’s fields. That way, the tomatoes would overgrow, and the family could eat them whenever they wanted to.

The family was stunned when they saw the tomatoes. After all, they had never seen such a thing. “Those are the tomatoes, Binglan?”

“Yeah, why do they look like fruits? How will you use them when cooking the eggs?’n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The family thought fruits were not a cooking ingredient. Instead, it was something they ate off of trees.

Su Binglan said, “Although tomatoes are fruits, using them as a cooking ingredient is better. It’ll make the eggs taste different compared to the egg dishes we typically have. You’ll know what I mean once you taste it.

“Also, these bottles here have ketchup in them. It’s a sauce I made from tomatoes. Dip your food in them when you eat later.”

The family knew tomatoes were good stuff after listening to Su Binglan’s explanation. They then took the initiative to help her cook.

“Sister, I’ll gather the firewood for the fire,” Su Wenzhe said as he rushed out of the house.

“Sister-in-law, should I wash the tomatoes?” Liu Yinyin asked while holding the tomatoes. “I’ll go wash them now.”

Su Fengmao returned to his senses and said, “Binglan, you said you’d make ribs, right? I’ll prepare them right away.”

Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua went to prepare the chicken for the popcorn chicken dish. With the family’s help, Su Binglan could finish her work quickly.

When the food was almost ready, Shen Qiuhua thought of Su Wenxiu and asked, “By the way, why isn’t your brother back yet?”

She remembered him and Su Binglan visiting Yang County together, so she was curious as to why he did not return with Su Binglan.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Second Brother went to eat with one of his students.’

Shen Qiuhua was puzzled. “Why is he eating with his student?”

She and her husband did not overthink it.

Su Binglan smiled mysteriously, saying, “It’s okay. That student is a little unique. Wenxiu will put in more effort with her in the future.”

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao would know Su Binglan’s meaning when the time came. Su Binglan thought Su Wenxiu had an excellent student in Zi Die. She felt Su Wenxiu would eventually like Zi Die back..
