Chapter 171 The Scallions Mature

Aunt's actions immediately brought the others, who were still in a daze, to their senses. They uttered words of dissatisfaction but continued to act.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you can't do that. Look, there's not much soup left to begin with, how can you just take away a whole bowl of it all at once?"

"Don't say anything more, Second Brother, you just took three lettuce leaves at once."

Everyone was talking and saying their own thing, but no matter what they said, their hands never stopped moving.

After a while, the soup and lettuce were gone, leaving only two clean empty plates.

After everyone else finished eating, they looked at the clean plates and felt like they had only tasted the food. They all turned their attention to Father Jiang.

"Second brother, is there any cabbage soup or lettuce left in the kitchen?"

"Yes, yes, just two bites per person is not enough at all."

Several younger relatives also gathered around, "Yes, Second Uncle, we've already finished our food. Is there any left? We'd like to eat more."

"No, no, Cha Cha only bought a small amount of food, enough for two tables."

Mr. Jiang was also filled with regret, as he himself hadn't had enough to eat. As a chef, it's rare to encounter such good ingredients. Similarly, as his culinary skills and age increased, the times when he was amazed by his own dishes became fewer.

He had finally managed to experience that amazing feeling again today, but now it's all gone. He's quite helpless.

Jiang Cha was also full of regret at this moment, "Oh dear, I was afraid that if the food I cooked was not tasty and expensive, it would be a waste of money, so I didn't buy too much."

Everyone in the living room was quite disappointed when they heard this, but Jiang's mother was the first to react, "Then Xiao Cha, why don't you just share the shop information? We'll go buy more so that everyone can have some."

Auntie agreed, "Yes, yes, although my cooking skills aren't very good, this dish is so delicious. As long as I don't overcook it, it will definitely taste good too."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the point."

When Jiang Cha heard her family say that, she became sensible and immediately shared the shop. Jiang's father placed an order without hesitation, which prompted others who were hesitant about the price to also place an order decisively.

Mr. Jiang said, "Everyone has tried this dish and it's definitely worth it. It's really cheap at 15 yuan, not to mention there are also versions for eight or nine yuan."

That makes sense, so everyone promptly placed their orders.

Grandma Jiang said happily, "It's almost Chinese New Year, so we'll cook this dish then."

"Okay!" Jiang Cha was very happy.

As a result, Xia Shiyu's shop received another wave of family orders.

However, Xia Shiyu didn't care about any of that. Anyway, Chen Yuzhu was in charge of the orders every day. What made her even happier was something else.

The scallions and garlic she planted are ripe!

"Mom, come and see how well the scallions I planted are growing."

Yu Juan ran over and stood there. The potted plants were all slender, green scallions, standing tall and upright. Looking at them in rows, it was a pleasant sight.

Not to mention the beautiful cilantro and the neatly arranged garlic.

"This cilantro is growing so well, the aroma is wafting out, it smells really good."

Xia Lihua nodded in agreement, "It will definitely be good to use it with noodles later."

"Yes, that's exactly the point."

The two elderly people, the maternal grandparents, were also very happy looking at the dishes in the house.

Chen Yuzhu was even more surprised, "Boss, you have new vegetables again? But it doesn't seem like you've planted many."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Yes, I don't plan to plant that many. This amount is enough for our own consumption. After the New Year, when the weather warms up, I will expand the planting."

"Oh, I see," Chen Yuzhu nodded.

Looking at the scallions, Xia Shiyu suggested, "How about we make scallion oil noodles today?"

"Okay," Yu Juan nodded. "Although these aren't scallions, they'll definitely taste good."

We acted on our word. Although it was noon, everyone in the family was quite casual and ate whatever they wanted.

First, Xia Shiyu picked a bunch of scallions, washed them clean, and the scallions looked even greener after being rinsed. She carefully chopped the scallions into small sections, and then mixed sugar, oyster sauce, and light soy sauce in equal proportions for later use.

Put cold oil in the pot, then add the scallion segments and cook until they turn golden brown. Then you can add the previously mixed seasonings.

The aroma of scallion oil is incredibly strong; the entire house and even the whole yard are filled with this smell.

People passing by couldn't resist the smell.

"It smells so good, what are they making now?"

"It smells like scallions, Juan'er. What delicious food are you making at home again?"

After hearing this, Yu Juan came out and replied, "It's just some freshly planted scallions from home. I'm planning to make scallion oil noodles."

"Oh, no wonder it smells so good. It turns out Xiaoyu has planted new vegetables. Let's buy some too."

Yu Juan waved her hand, "These are just some random plants we grow at home. This time, it's really only enough for my family to eat. We'll wait until next spring for everyone to come and buy more."

"Okay," the visitor said regretfully before leaving. He really couldn't bear to leave any longer; the aroma was just too irresistible.

At this moment, Xia Shiyu went to another pot, put noodles into the boiling water, and after the noodles were cooked, she took them out and rinsed them with cold water to prevent them from sticking together. Xia Shiyu also added some lettuce as a side dish.

Finally, the most crucial step is to drizzle scallion oil over the noodles. The tender white noodles immediately sizzle and turn a golden brown, making them look incredibly appetizing.

Xia Shiyu stirred the noodles evenly, then served each person a bowl and topped them with cilantro.

Although it looks a bit odd because she added other side dishes, it can still be considered an innovation.

Grandma also took out the dough she had kneaded earlier and steamed it. After it was cooked, she put it in the center of the table. Today's lunch was scallion oil noodles with steamed buns.

Xia Shiyu said to Chen Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, why don't you just take two bowls of noodles back with you today? It's too much trouble to make them yourself when you get back. I made a lot here, so you can take them back and eat with your aunt. You can also try the scallion flavor that I love."

Grandma nodded, "Take a few of these steamed buns with you, that way you'll be full right away."

Chen Yuzhu initially wanted to refuse, but when she smelled the rich aroma of scallions, she put her hand down. She couldn't help it; it just smelled too good.

Xia Shiyu filled two insulated lunch boxes for Chen Yuzhu, saying, "Here, take these home quickly, they won't taste good if they get soggy."

"Okay, okay, thank you boss." Chen Yuzhu grabbed the thermos and left eagerly, wanting to get back quickly to share it with her mother.

After Chen Yuzhu left, Xia Shiyu's family sat down to enjoy lunch.
