Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 9: Cooking

Editor: CTCTRANS

Shen Qinglan bypassed Shen Qingju and stood directly in front of the stove. She placed the at on the stove, picked up the spatula next to it, and turned her head to ask Shen Qingju, "Oil."

Shen Qingju frowned, "Qinglan, should I still..."

"Oil."

Shen Qinglan directly ignored her and instead looked towards Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu pointed to her right and said, "The oil is in the clay jar next to you."

"Oh."

Shen Qinglan responded, reached out to open the lid of the clay jar, and scooped three spoonfuls of oil into the pot using a small ladle inside.

Shen Qingju and Shen Qingzhu both inhaled sharply.

Those three spoonfuls of oil would be more than enough for their family’s entire day of cooking.

Shen Qingju’s face darkened, but Shen Qingzhu beca excited instantly.

Usually, when the eldest sister cooked, she was stingy even with oil and salt, and the taste of the dishes could definitely be compared to the pig feed at their grandmother’s.

Shen Qinglan didn’t pay attention to their changing expressions and continued to stir-fry the at on her own.

She heated the oil, added garlic, and after the garlic beca fragrant, she poured in the rabbit and bird ats from the side. After a couple of stirs, she added ginger, stirred a couple more tis, then added so water and covered the pot with a lid.

Slling the aroma of the at, Shen Qingzhu swallowed his saliva and praised, "I never expected, even our third sister is so smooth in the kitchen!"

Thinking about the amount of oil Shen Qinglan just used, Shen Qingju’s heart ached, but with the aroma of the at, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything reproachful.

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Qinglan lifted the pot lid again, and a rich aroma of at spread instantly.

Even Shen Qingping, who was playing in the yard, was drawn by the aroma.

"It slls so good!"

Shen Qinglan looked at Shen Qingping, who was leaning at the doorway and peeking in, and said with a tug at the corners of her mouth, "It’ll be ready soon."

She stirred the at again with the spatula and then covered the pot once more.

After about another half a quarter of an hour, Shen Qinglan added salt, stirred it again, and then asked Shen Qingzhu to move the firewood out and extinguish it.

Shen Qingju washed two bowls, one big and one small, and placed them on the stove.

Shen Qinglan first filled the large bowl and then used the remaining at to fill the small bowl.

Shen Qingju:...

"This small bowl is for Grandpa and Grandma, it’s not enough!"

How can their third sister be even stingier than her?

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan used the spatula to scoop so more from the large bowl into the small bowl.

Seeing this, Shen Qingju was satisfied and said to Shen Qingzhu, whose eyes were glued to the at, "Qingzhu, take this at to Grandpa and Grandma, and rember to bring back the bowl."

Shen Qingzhu responded and went out with the at.

Old Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen lived with their third uncle, Shen Tang.

Third aunt passed away shortly after giving birth to little cousin Shen Qing’an; it’s been seven years now.

Shen Tang is a man of lasting affections; his wife passed away seven years ago, yet he has shown no intention of remarrying.

In the days since Shen Qinglan woke up, she has more or less familiarized herself with the people of the Shen Family.

Old Mrs. Shen has three sons: the eldest uncle, Shen He, her father, Shen Shan, and the third uncle, Shen Tang.

The eldest uncle’s family consists of seven people, aside from the eldest uncle himself, there’s Aunt Jiang, the eldest cousin Shen Qingfeng, the second cousin Shen Qingning, and the cousin Shen Qinghe.

The eldest cousin Shen Qingfeng is already married, has a one-year-old son, and his wife, nad Zhang Xiaolian, has a good temperant and is quick with her chores, and Aunt Jiang likes her a lot.

The second cousin, Shen Qingning, is not yet married and works part-ti at a restaurant in town to support the family.

The cousin Shen Qinghe is already engaged and the marriage proposal will be made after the autumn harvest.

The three brothers of the Shen Family have a good relationship and often help each other.

However, the one living the best life is certainly the eldest uncle’s family.

The eldest uncle is a hunter who always earns a good amount each ti he sells his catch at the restaurant in town.

The money to hire a doctor when Shen Qinglan was injured by a cow, as well as for the dicine, was initially covered by the eldest uncle’s family.
