Chapter 159: 159 Received News (Additional Updates)
Lin Tang’s eyes flashed with shrewdness.
She hoped it wouldn’t shock her dad when the time came!
After Li Xiuli had prepared breakfast and left the kitchen, she saw Lin Lu and his daughter Lin Tang talking about something.
"What are you two chatting about?" she asked casually.
"Nothing much, just having a word with my girl," Lin Lu gave Lin Tang a look, signaling her not to tell Li Xiuli just yet.
A wife’s worries are heavy; knowing would only add to her concerns.
He had even kept the locust incident from her, except for Tangtang.
Lin Tang kept a straight face and nodded, "Yep, just chatting with my dad about this and that."
Li Xiuli asked casually, and seeing that they did not elaborate, she didn’t press the matter.
"The dumpling soup is ready, hurry up and wash your hands for breakfast."
After speaking, she called out to the backyard: "Blue Mountain, Qingshui, Qingmu, Goudan... time to eat!"
Her voice was loud and clear.
In the backyard, where they were looking after the livestock, the three brothers Lin Qingshan, Lin Qingshui, and Lin Qingmu, along with Goudan, responded immediately and rushed back to the front courtyard like a gust of wind.
After washing their hands, a bowl of dumpling soup was set out for each person in the courtyard.
What was most conspicuous was a small bowl of very appetizing chili sauce placed in the middle of the table.
"Dig in, one bowl each," Li Xiuli said with a wave of her hand.
It was Goudan’s first time eating dumpling soup, now that he had grown so big.
He picked up a small wooden spoon and had a taste.
He was as satisfied as a cat that had stealthily eaten some fish.
"So this is dumpling soup, delicious!" the little guy exclaimed with a sense of wonder.
Glancing toward the house, he looked regretful, even shaking his head helplessly.
Poor little brothers and sisters!
Their mother rarely cooked breakfast, and they were still asleep.
Alas, how pitiful.
But no matter, he’d eat a few extra on behalf of Choudan and the others.
That way, it would be like they all had some.
What a good big brother he was!
Thinking so, Goudan had another one and found it even tastier. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Lin Tang saw the chili sauce on the table and her eyes lit up.
"Mom, did you make this with the chili sauce recipe I gave you?"
It looked pretty good.
The appearance alone was appetizing.
Imagine travelers without any cooked food, only able to eat steamed buns.
If they had chili sauce to accompany it, the taste...
Li Xiuli replied, "Indeed, I tried making it the same day I got the recipe from you, and it seems it turned out alright, so I brought it out for you to taste."
In fact, it had been ready for a while, but she had held off serving it to let her daughter have the first taste.
Zhou Mei had been thinking about this chili sauce for several days, and seeing that her mother finally served it, she got excited.
"Oh my, Mom finally decided to bring out the chili sauce, we’re in for a treat today," she said.
As she spoke, she scooped a bit of the chili sauce into Lin Tang’s bowl, then she took a hefty scoop for herself.
After doing so, her bowl was covered in a bright red layer.
Everyone gave it a glance and felt the sting in their behind.
Zhou Mei, realizing she had been greedy, glanced guiltily at Li Xiuli.
With a sheepish laugh, she stirred her bowl.
Still, a layer of red floated on top.
Li Xiuli’s mouth twitched, too indifferent to scold her.
As long as Zhou Mei didn’t mind ’staying’ in the bathroom for the night.
The discomfort wouldn’t be hers, after all.
Li Xiuli looked toward the bowl beside Lin Tang, where the amount of chili sauce floating on top was reasonable, not too exaggerated.
"Tangtang, try it out and see if it’s the right flavor," she said.
She thought the taste should be good.
Lin Tang nodded and tasted the dumpling soup infused with the chili sauce.
It was a bit spicy, yet fragrant.
The taste was not overwhelming, yet left people wanting more.
With each sip of soup, one could feel the lasting potency of the spicy sauce.
In cold weather, having it with noodles would surely be exceptional.
As Lin Tang was still savoring the flavor, the rest of the family couldn’t help but join in.
"Great! This spicy sauce is especially good. With it, I could eat eight steamed buns in one meal..." Lin Lu said with a hearty laugh.
Eight... eight steamed buns?
Li Xiuli began to worry about the household’s grain supply.
With four grown men in the family, each eating eight, that’s thirty-two buns in total.
This won’t do; they can’t eat like this.
Looking at the spicy sauce on the table, she immediately had an idea.
Lin Qingshan, of course, wasn’t as exaggerated as Lin Lu, and simply shared a very realistic impression.
"This spicy sauce is both spicy and fragrant; it makes you sweat all over when added to Dumpling Soup. Eating it in the winter should be extremely satisfying."
After hearing Lin Lu’s claim of eating eight steamed buns, Li Xiuli felt utterly unshaken by his remarks about eating Dumpling Soup in the dead of winter.
Lin Qingshui and Zhou Mei, the married couple, did not offer any verbal comments, instead avidly tucking into their meal.
Their actions expressed the most genuine reactions.
Lin Qingmu’s first thought was whether it could make money. Could this product be mass-produced?
Acting on his thought, he looked at Lin Tang and asked, "Tangtang, can we make this spicy sauce a specialty of our brigade to sell?"
The youth’s eyes were fiery with a bright glow that made them impossible to ignore.
Lin Tang was caught off guard and looked towards Lin Lu.
Dad didn’t tell the family about the Sauce Factory, did he?
Dumpling Soup was quickly eaten, especially by farmhands like Lin Lu, who devoured them even faster.
One bite per dumpling, and in a short while, they were all gone.
Lin Lu took a sip of soup and sighed with satisfaction.
When he looked up, he caught his daughter’s puzzled gaze.
He immediately set down his bowl.
"I have something to say. I kept it from you before because it wasn’t clear whether it would be feasible, and I was also worried you’d talk about it carelessly.
Now that your mother has made the spicy sauce, and we’ve tried it and the flavor is good,
and since your uncle reported the plans to the commune leader, there’s no need to keep it from you any longer..."
What Lin Lu was about to reveal was the idea proposed by Lin Tang to start a Sauce Factory for the brigade.
Lin Qingmu stared into his father’s eyes, his heart beating as fast as if he were in a car race, full of tension and excitement.
Seeing Lin Lu pause, he became anxious.
"Dad, don’t stop now, keep talking. We’re all waiting," he urged with visible eagerness.
"Dad, don’t tease everyone. Hurry up and tell us," Lin Tang also said.
Lin Lu, seeing his daughter joining in, didn’t keep his son waiting any longer.
"Alright, I’ll just say it straightforwardly."
"Your sister has given several sauce recipes and also drafted a business plan, intending to build a Sauce Factory in our brigade.
Your uncle has already reported the plan to the Commune Leader, and it seems likely to be approved.
Well, this spicy sauce is made using one of those recipes. The flavor isn’t bad, right? If it really gets set up..."
Thinking of the bright future ahead, Lin Lu couldn’t help but laugh heartily, radiating an indescribable sense of delight.
This was all thanks to his daughter!
Everyone, except for Li Xiuli, was stunned by the Sauce Factory spoken of by Lin Lu.
They became as rigid as the rocks in the mountains, struggling to regain their senses for a long time.
After a while, Lin Qingshan stirred and looked at Li Xiuli, "Mom, is what dad said true?"
If it was true, wouldn’t it mean their family would soon be on the right track?
This was incredibly good news.
Li Xiuli: "It’s true."
Lin Qingshan’s heart stirred fiercely, and his gaze towards Lin Tang was complex, as if expressing a thousand words.
Tangtang had her own job, yet she still thought of the family.
With a sister who had such a devoted heart, how could they not dote on her?
