Chapter 616: Fragrant and Crispy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone looked at Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun’s stall with wonder because the weather was too cold. Their stomachs growled when they smelled the tempting fragrance.
“Have you ever eaten multi- grain pancakes?”
“No, I haven’t.’
“I’ve never seen a stall that sells them, so 1 don’t know how they taste.”
“It smells quite fragrant, so it should be delicious.”
“Why don’t we go over and take a look?”
Many people were in the embroidery stall, so everyone went to take a look together. They had money now and were willing to buy food on the weekends.
If it were in the past, they would not go to any stall, regardless of how
fragrant the food smelled, because they were afraid of overspending.
However, things had changed, and people would eat together after work. They dared not buy anything before.
Everyone went to the stall together, and a few people were already there eating pancakes. Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun made pancakes for these few people because they had helped the duo set up their stall.
Those few people were full of praise for the duo’s cooking. Mrs. Du said smilingly, “The pancakes you two made are delicious. I’ve never had such a tasty pancake. It tastes unique.”
“Yes, it’s fragrant and crispy.”
“l didn’t expect the batter to be so fluffy.”
The most essential part of the multi- grain pancake was the batter. Su Binglan had taught Old Madam Yang how to make it so that the older woman would have something to make a living within Su Teng Village.
Su Binglan knew Old Madam Yang was not one to stay idle. Even if Yang Xiaoxun wanted her grandmother to stay home and rest, the latter would refuse.
Old Madam Yang resembled Su Binglan’s grandparents and could enjoy life now. Still, they felt restless staying home all day. Sometimes, they would feel uncomfortable if they were idle for too long.
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su helped Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi daily by looking after their stall. The older couple felt their lives would be more fulfilling if they did not stay idle and let their thoughts run wild.
Thus, Su Binglan understood it was good to keep busy but not tire oneself out.
Old Madam Yang was making pancakes and was delighted when people praised her cooking. Moreover, she did not feel tired doing this.
She and her granddaughter used to work in the fields and exhaust themselves in their home village. It was much more tiring than opening a stall. That was much easier than working in the fields.
“Since you think they’re delicious, I’ll make more for you and your children.”
Mrs. Du waved and said, “There’s no need. I’m staying at the dormitory now and won’t be returning since 1 no longer have to worry about my two children.
I typically eat alone, anyway.”
Mrs. Du knew the struggles Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun had experienced. Her heart ached for them, and she could not bear to take free pancakes from the older woman, mainly because it was not easy to make one.
Mrs. Du even planned to tell her two children to visit Old Madam Yangs stall to buy her pancakes.
Old Madam Yang was touched. She did not expect the people of Su Teng Village to be so kind and enthusiastic about helping her and her granddaughter.
She felt a warmth she had never felt before, and so did her granddaughter. Therefore, Old Madam Yang added more vegetables and other ingredients to the multi- grain pancakes for those who had helped her.
Old Madam Yang felt excellent, and her body was full of energy. She only wanted to earn money to buy a house in Su Teng Village or save up to build one.
With that thought in mind, Old Madam Yang felt energized, unlike when she lived in her home village. In the past, she felt muddleheaded and did not know what to do. Now, she was full of hope and strength to do things.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoxun finished making more batter in the back and brought it to the front. She felt pained to see Old Madam Yang work so hard, saying, “Grandma, you should rest and let me take over.
Old Madam Yang said, “It’s okay. I don’t feel tired at all.”
As they talked, more people appeared near the shop. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw Yang Xiaoxun. They thought she looked beautiful and had excellent skin.
“Miss, are you selling multi- grain pancakes?”
Yang Xiaoxun nodded and said, “Yes, this is the price of one pancake. It’s three copper each, but you can also add eggs.”
She and her grandmother ran a small business to make a living. They considered their prices reasonable, mainly because their pancakes were so big.
Since they only had humble ingredients, they could only offer to add eggs to their pancakes. However, they planned to add more options when they had more ingredients.
Someone said, “Mrs. Du, you’re here too?”
Mrs. Du replied smilingly, “That’s right. That’s Yang Xiaoxun and her grandmother, who just moved here. Miss Su brought them to our village.”
Everyone was polite to the grandmother and granddaughter when they heard Su Binglan was the one who brought them to the village.
Mrs. Du said, “Their multi-grain pancakes are delicious. Miss Su helped them develop it.”
Everyone bought the pancakes and ate them. They thought it was fragrant and crispy and were full of praise for the food.
More people arrived to take a look. They saw the customers in the front eating and complementing the food, so they bought some too. Some even bought a few more for their families at home.
Even the employees of the winery and noodle shop went to buy the pancakes and saw a long queue there. Although many people lined up at the stall, Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun worked together and fulfilled everyone’s orders.
After finis.h.i.+ng work at night, Old Madam Yang and her granddaughter closed the stall and excitedly returned to their dormitory with the money they had earned.
Old Madam Yang poured the money from her purse onto the table, her hands trembling. She and her granddaughter did not expect to earn so much in just one night.
Although the profit was small, the duo sold hundreds of pancakes in one evening. They earned a few hundred copper coins in one evening. Yang Xiaoxun was so excited that she could not fall asleep.
‘Now that we know how to make multi- grain pancakes, we no longer have to worry about starving.’
Meanwhile, the embroidery shop and tofu factory employees discussed similar things on the way home.
“Miss Shen wants us to go to work tomorrow as usual, even those on leave. I wonder what’s going on.”
“Maybe she wants to inform us about our vacations?”
“That can’t be. If so, we can tell each other when we’re off work. It’s not like we must go to the factory, right?”
“Indeed, it must be something important, then..”
