Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After cutting the fish slices, Su Wen marinated them with egg white and seasonings for about half an hour. During the marinating process, she started to heat oil in the pot and stir-fry the ginger, dried chili, pepper, and onions. Then, she added the cut pickles, fish heads, and fish bones into the soup.

After the soup developed its aromatic flavors, Su Wen added the fish slices. The final step was to ladle the cooked sour cabbage fish into a large soup bowl and sprinkle it with chili powder. Then, she poured hot oil over the dish, creating a sizzling sensation.

Su Wen did it orderly, and the fragrance of the stewed fish head and bones permeated the air, making one's appetite soar. The final result was a dish that was not only visually appealing but also full of flavor. The red chili oil, the beautifully colored pickled vegetables, and the tender fish slices created a mouthwatering and spicy aroma that stimulate one's appetite. To add the finishing touch, she sprinkled fresh green cilantro on top to make the dish look even better.

Su Xiu watched intently from the side. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she took the initiative to ask and worked hard to learn every step. She would cook it when she cooked. Everyone in the family loved spicy food. She felt this dish would become everyone's favorite in the future.

The only bad thing was that it was a waste of oil. When they saw their big sister put so much oil in, her heart ached.

Su Xiu and her little sister sneezed and drooled from the spiciness.

Big sister, what dish is this? Why does it smell so good?

Fish with pickled vegetables. Clear Water County didn't have this dish, so it was normal that Little Sister didn't know it.

Then when do we eat?

Wait for your Second Sister to come back.

Where did Second Sister go?

I went to pick up your Sixth Sister.

Little Sister Su's expression changed instantly. She was afraid that her eldest sister would find out, but she quickly pretended not to care. Although she didn't like Sixth Sister, she couldn't stop her from coming back. She wanted to be an obedient and sensible child so that her eldest sister would like her.

After the pickled fish was done, Su Xiu stir-fried some beans. They were planted in her vegetable garden. Su Xiu usually took good care of them and often watered them.

When all the food was ready, Su Xiu ran to the village entrance to wait for someone. She waited a long time and only returned in disappointment when it was one o'clock.

They're not back yet. They'll probably be back in the afternoon.

Afternoon it is! Let's eat first! Although Su Wen asked Uncle Youtian to exchange for the silver carp to welcome Sixth Sister, she could eat it herself if Sixth Sister didn't come back! Anyway, she would think of a way when Sixth Sister came back.

Little Sister cheered happily and eagerly took a bowl of rice, set up a plate, and served the dishes.

At noon, the family had a good meal. After taking a nap in the afternoon, they heard that the three brothers of the Xu family had already separated. Although the Xu family's house was not as tall and beautiful as Su Wen's house, they had many houses.

One brother got two houses, while the elderly parents kept three houses for themselves.

As for the other belongings, such as farming tools, chickens, and household supplies, they were all divided equally. It was common knowledge among the family. However, when it came to savings, there were conflicting opinions, and each person had a different account. Su Wen, not particularly interested in the matter, focused her attention on designing patterns for bags at home.

In the beginning, she didn't want to have too many designs. The first bag she launched was mainly based on the aesthetics and practicality of this era.

Classic, generous, and also had its characteristics. Of course, refreshing fashion couldn't be lacking. It was the main theme. She didn't want to imitate others. She had many designs to reference, but she still had to do her details.

The first thing was the name of the brand.

Su Wen racked her brains for the entire afternoon and came up with dozens of names. In the end, she rejected them all. In the end, she thought of the seven sisters of the Su family. Why not name the brand with Su? This name would give customers an immediate sense of fashion.

At least, it wouldn't sound outdated..
