After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 358 Liangpi (cold skin noodles) and Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)

As Su Xiaoxiao listened, she cursed inwardly: What kind of nonsense is this!

Doesn't she even consider her own worth before wanting to marry into a prince's household?

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head firmly and said, "Mother, whether I enjoy a life of luxury or not is none of my business. I was born to work hard and am willing to toil. This jam recipe is a family heirloom, and we don't give it to outsiders. I will only pass it on to my children and grandchildren in the future, and no one else will ever get it!"

After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao continued, "I think your eagerness to get shares and the formula isn't your idea, is it? Someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Am I right?"

Grandma Wang and Su Xiuer were taken aback. They looked at each other guiltily, "This..."

Everyone fell silent. Pei Yuan realized that Su Xiaoxiao was indeed incredibly insightful; she must have guessed correctly.

Prince Gong is actually eyeing my recipe again. That kid is really cunning. What is he up to?
Su Xiaoxiao found this very incomprehensible. She knew that Prince Gong had indeed been coveting everything she had, which always made Su Xiaoxiao feel deeply uneasy.

Prince Gong is already so wealthy, why would he still be interested in her business? Or is he plotting something else?
No matter what anyone says, Fang Zheng and Su Xiaoxiao will absolutely not allow this to happen.

Without saying anything else, she grabbed Su Ping'an and left. Once outside, she could finally breathe some fresh air.

Su Ping'an looked at her apologetically, "Xiaoxiao, I'm so sorry to have made you suffer again!"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's okay, I'm used to it!"

At this moment, Su Wangcai chased after her from inside the house and whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I can't go to deliver the goods today. Our mother wants me to go to the capital to take Xiuer to see Prince Gong. I'd like to ask for a few days off."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "Big brother, please be careful when you're alone!"

Su Xiaoxiao could only give these instructions; as for why she had to go to the capital to find Prince Gong, she had no idea.

Counting the days, it has been a month since Su Xiaoxiao last met Prince Gong. He is a prince, and he can't stay in this small, run-down place forever.

As she thought, Prince Gong and Su Xiuer were developing so rapidly that they were about to get married. He should have taken Su Xiuer with him when he returned to the capital. Why did he go back quietly and ask Su Xiuer to go to him?

Su Wangcai won't be able to come to the workshop for the next few days, so we'll have to trouble Brother Wang Er for a few days. Su Xiaoxiao was a little distracted on the way back when she thought about telling Brother Wang Er about this.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, Su Ping'an couldn't help but worry, so he went over and hugged her, saying, "Xiaoxiao, don't take what your mother said to heart. I will absolutely not agree to this!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at him, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Come on, I'll cook you something delicious when we get back!"

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao seemed like a different person. She quickly got into the carriage, and then Su Pingan drove the carriage and they went home together.

As Su Xiaoxiao passed by Wang Er's house, she went inside and saw that Wang Er was doing carpentry work at home that day.

"Second brother, come to our workshop tomorrow and help out for a few days. You'll get fifty copper coins a day to cover for my eldest brother, Su Wangcai, who's going to the capital for a few days."

Wang Er quickly said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll help with the work, you don't need to pay me. It's too formal to talk about money with our families!" "No, Second Brother, one thing at a time!"

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still very determined, Wang Er finally said, "Okay, I'll pay you. Fifty coins a day is too much. Just pay the normal wage for a long-term laborer, fifteen coins a day."

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao still paid Wang Er twenty coins a day.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao knew that there were plenty of temporary workers like this everywhere, so why did she choose Wang Er? This was because Su Xiaoxiao had come to regard Wang Er and his family as her own.

If this person were Su Xiangdong from the Su family, who would be Su Xiaoxiao's second brother, she would completely distrust Su Xiangdong's character.

After arranging everything, Su Xiaoxiao returned home to prepare dinner for Su Ping'an.

These past few days have been filled with things that cause internal heat, so Su Xiaoxiao decided to eat something cool today. It's late April, almost May, and the weather is getting warmer.

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to eat liangpi (cold skin noodles), but no one in Su Ping'an's area had ever eaten or seen liangpi before.

Su Ping'an went inside to read, while Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen. Her kitchen window opened to reveal a sea of ​​bamboo outside, and when the wind blew in, she could smell the fragrance of bamboo.

She was quite happy at the thought that she would be able to eat bamboo shoots in a few days.

She first sifted a small bowl of flour into a larger bowl, added a little cornstarch and salt, poured in warm water, and began stirring constantly in one direction until it became a thin, white paste. Then she sifted it again and poured it into a flat bowl.

After spreading the batter evenly in the bowl, Su Xiaoxiao placed the bowl containing the batter on the hot water in the pot to heat it up. Soon, the batter in the flat bowl turned into a thin sheet of dough.

Crystal clear, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised to see that she had succeeded on her first attempt.

She was very happy. After taking the dough off the board, she placed it on the cutting board and waited for it to cool completely before cutting it into sections. This made it into cold noodles. She mixed it with cilantro and cucumber strips, added salt, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame paste, and it became a plate of cold noodles. Luckily, she had some red chili peppers at home, so Su Xiaoxiao made some chili oil and mixed it in, resulting in a plate of bright red cold noodles.

Su Xiaoxiao only took a sniff and felt that the good old days of eating cold noodles and singing in the summer had returned.

Eating only cold noodles seems to be missing something; of course, it needs to be paired with roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

She happened to have some sesame seed cakes at home. After heating them up, she prepared to make roasted meat. Wang Er had customized a grill for her before. She used some charcoal to roast some pork belly, chopped the pork belly, added some seasoning sauce, and then sandwiched it in the middle of the sesame seed cake, finally making a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

After Su Xiaoxiao finished doing all of this, she presented the two items to Su Ping'an, who was stunned.

"Xiaoxiao, what good stuff is this again?"

Su Xiaoxiao had been busy in the kitchen for more than two hours, and had already missed dinner time, almost an hour earlier than their usual dinner time.

Su Ping'an was so engrossed in learning that he didn't even realize it, but Tang Xiaoman knew that she must have kept Su Ping'an from eating, and she felt very guilty about it.

At this moment, Su Ping'an, holding the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What is this?"
