Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 454 - Quack Quack

Chapter 454 - Quack Quack

originally, Su Wan was inclined to make a feast for her second uncle but he resolutely refused and he wasn't alone, even her husbands and her eldest uncle and aunts refused to let her go inside the kitchen saying it was too hot, Su Wan knew that they meant well but she was getting tired of them babying her. At first, it felt good but now she was tired of staying in the bed all day and night " I am fine, stop being so concerned about me. The scabs have already healed and the skin is almost repaired as well. So, I can still do some small jobs like cooking"

There was no source of entertainment in this era unless you liked to watch chicken clucking in the courtyard, at first Su Wan found it all serene and nice but after a while, she got too bored of it as well. For a month, she had watched the chicks cluck in the backyard, by now she was so familiar with the chicks that she might no them better than the mother hen!

Now she was done, no she was seriously done staying inside her all day long and doing absolutely nothing! To her cooking was not just a job but a way to get her mind distracted, once she was back in her familiar s.p.a.ce, all the stress and frustration that was piling in her heart would find an instant release!

Not to mention, her eldest uncle had caught so many crayfis.h.!.+ It would be a shame if she couldn't cook some Sichuan Ma La Crayfish with it! Summer was almost here, she was afraid that if she missed this chance then she have to wait till the winter for another stock of crayfish to be caught!

Ah, she can't bear to let go of this chance. Anyway, she was almost healed so why should she let go of this awesome opportunity that has landed itself in her hands? cradling the little cat in her arms, she smiled sweetly " Second uncle, it's not just because of you. Ah, Yan doesn't know how to cook these crayfish yet and we can't leave them till tomorrow since it's summer. It might go bad and that will be troublesome"

What Su Wan said was right, the crayfish that Shen Junxi caught was because of a sudden encounter. It wasn't prepared at all, Shen Junxi had gone to the river with nothing but a bucket and when he found the crayfish hole, he just piled it all up in the bucket and didn't even bother to leave a single one behind which led to a few crayfish dying in the bucket. They had no such thing as a refrigerator here, so there was no way they could keep these crayfish till tomorrow..so it was better to just eat them and be done with it.

Of course, Su Wan had many ways to preserve them but since she wanted to eat them, why will she let others know? Stay silent and eat crayfis.h.!.+

"Is that so? Well then it will be hard work on you Wan Wan" Shen Zizhen didn't stop Su Wan anymore, he was a shrewd businessman how could he not see that Su Wan's eyes were literally glued to the bucket? Thus, he didn't fuss anymore and let Su Wan do the cooking but of course, he gave Lin Yan a demeaning glance and sneered " humph, look at you can't even a cook a bunch of crayfish"

Lin Yan felt wronged, firstly it wasn't his fault that they couldn't catch a crayfish in the winters after the river was frozen. And if there was no crayfish how was he supposed to learn how to cook it? But he knew that to Su Wan's uncle these things were nothing but excuses, even he try to fight his case it would be hopeless.

So, he just pursed his lips, gave Shen Zizhen a smile, picked up the bucket of the crayfish and then followed after Su Wan. He might as well make the best crayfish that old man has eaten and let him see how and what can he cook!

" Here put them in here," said Su Wan as she pointed to a water container " we need to soak them in cold water with salt for an hour before we can cook them"

Lin Yan did as she said, he took the container and dropped some salt in before emptying the bucket of crayfish in it. Once he was done, he stood back up and looked at Su Wan " why don't you go back to your room and just tell me how to cook it. There is no need for you to work in the kitchen in such hot weather"

Su Wan snorted patting the kitten, she sniffed haughtily " I know what you are trying to do but it's not going to work, I don't want to be locked like a delicate doll in the room anymore. I am too tired of watching the chickens clucking outside of the window. If I have to listen to one more cluck, I swear I will chop them all up and make chicken stew out of? them!"

" Then how about ducks? I will exchange their coops and you can listen to quack quack? from now on what do you say?"

Su Wan was so stunned that she turned to look at Lin Yan in amazement " Are you for real? That's not what I meant!"

" I know" sighed Lin Yan, running a hand through his hair and tousling it up " I am just worried that your skin will? develop rashes, it still healing after all"

" Don't worry it won't?" said Su Wan, just this morning she tossed and turned with Lin Chen until she was covered in sweat, she was fine after being rubbed here and rubbed there how can she develop rashes?

Lin Yan frowned at her words, she said it with so much conviction that he was confused. Why was she so certain that she will be fine? He stared at her, from the top of her head all the way down to her toes- he examined her and then he found what was looking for, a glaring, red mark was on her neck hidden behind the thick, black hair.

Immediately, all the blood in his body rushed to his head as he did his calculations. He and Lin Yu were out to the town, eldest brother was working in the fields then the only one left at home was -

LIN CHEN!!!

Lin Chen: Achoo! ????
