Chapter 15

Eggs and Vegetable Pies

I still have some money for the rice. Ill sell those packets of vegetables the day after tomorrow on the market day. Then Ill have money too.

Su Cheng would not want to take Fourth Brothers money no matter what.

Third Elder Brother strongly objected to Fourth Elder Brother going to the acting cla.s.s to learn acting. He felt that the money that an actor earned was not very clean.

That was why he did not dare to take Fourth Brothers money rashly.

Then Ill give the money to Third Brother. Ill give it to you too.

Su Qing roughly understood her fifth brothers concerns and took the money bag to the study.

Second Brother and Third Brother were both in the study room. He could show them his determination to learn acting.

Qin Zhenzhen stood there and looked at them quietly for a while.

These little characters were initially not inherently bad. It was only when they faced misfortune that their mindset underwent a change.

Their present life was filled with struggles, and even providing meals for themselves became a challenge. Their circ.u.mstances were undeniably pitiable.

This situation was opportune for her backup plan. She needed to put in her best efforts to take care of them and cultivate their grat.i.tude towards her.

Upon witnessing Qin Zhenzhen carrying the ingredients into the kitchen, Su Cheng hurriedly followed her and spoke in an unfriendly manner.

Were in the middle of cooking. We need to use this pot!

Wait until we finish cooking!

While saying this, Su Cheng blocked access to the large pot, clearly indicating that he didnt want her to use it first.

The kitchen was s.p.a.cious enough, with two stoves insideone large and one small.

The small stove had a small pot on it, where plain porridge had just been cooked and only needed to be heated.

On the clean wooden countertop, there lay a sizable bag of washed vegetables awaiting chopping.

The abundance of vegetables in the bag could easily form a small mountain. Stir-frying them would undoubtedly require the use of a large pot.

In the past, the plump girl always prepared dinner ahead of them, but today was an exception due to her fall.

Su Ning also rushed into the kitchen, clearly indicating her reluctance for Qin Zhenzhen to cook first.

Qin Zhenzhen understood their misunderstanding and decided to explain herself.

This pot of plain porridge wont be enough for everyone. I thought of frying egg and vegetable pancakes so that everyone can have a satisfying meal.

Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhens words, Su Cheng couldnt believe his ears. Did he mishear?

Su Ning was equally astonished. Youre using these ingredients to fry eggs and pancakes for us for the entire family?

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. Thats correct! Thats why you dont have to cook anymore. Tonight, well have egg pancakes, along with plain porridge.

In that moment, realization dawned upon Su Cheng. That plump girl must be trying to win over their third brother, so she was willing to share these ingredients.

Su Ning also arrived at the same conclusion.

As they gazed at the mouthwatering ingredients, they werent foolish enough to decline. Instead, Su Ning took the initiative and suggested:

Alright, Ill help you with the frying. Consider me your a.s.sistant.

She didnt dare to praise the plump girls culinary skills.

Su Ning had witnessed the plump girls failed attempts at frying an egg pancake before. They would either end up burnt or shapeless.

It was obvious at a glance that it tasted terrible.

Su Ning was determined not to let these delectable ingredients go to waste.

Qin Zhenzhen could sense the siblings thoughts and secretly scoffed. Let them misunderstand all they want! Their third brother may be the Hosts favorite, but not her favorite!

Ill handle it myself. You can a.s.sist me, Qin Zhenzhen stated firmly.

It wasnt that she didnt trust Su Nings cooking abilities, but she wanted to showcase her own skills.

Qin Zhenzhen then rudely instructed Su Ning, Go to the backyard and fetch some green onions or garlic sprouts. Adding them will enhance the aroma.

In modern times, she would use eggs, onions, flour, and seasonings to fry these egg and vegetable pancakes.

Since there were no onions available, she would subst.i.tute them with green onions or garlic sprouts.

Su Ning opened her mouth to speak but then decided against it.

It seemed like the plump girl wanted to impress their third brother with her cooking skills.

That was alright too. With Su Nings guidance, hopefully, nothing would end up burnt.
