Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At that moment, Su Wenwu and Ye Feiran had a similar thought. They wanted to open an escargot noodle restaurant if they liked the dish.

Su Wenwu knew any dish his sister made was delicious. Hence, business would boom once he opened a restaurant with such a unique delicacy. Moreover, any business his sister started always went well.

Su Binglan said, “Okay then, we’ll have escargot noodles for lunch. We’ll need many ingredients to make it.”

Su Wenwu asked, “How many do you need?”

Su Binglan answered, “More than usual, such as bamboo shoots, black fungus mushrooms, fried tofu, vegetables, and star anise.”

Su Wenwu only knew about some of the ingredients his sister had mentioned. He asked curiously, “Sister, what’s a bamboo shoot?”

Ye Feiran raised her brows, asking, “Do we get bamboo shoots from bamboo trees?”

The south had many bamboo shoots in the mountains, making them a common ingredient. Some even used them when making chicken stew. Strangely enough, Ye Feiran had never heard of them.

‘How do we make bamboo shoots sour?’

Ye Feiran was puzzled but had a hunch bamboo shoots were practical.

Su Binglan patiently explained, “Yes, we can get them where bamboo trees grow. Making them sour is straightforward. We’ll shred fresh bamboo shoots, but not too thin, then put them in a jar.

“Afterward, we add clear water and seal it. After some time, the bamboo shoots will become sour.’

Ye Feiran nodded but still wondered how they would taste.

‘So, we’ll need sour bamboo shoots to make escargot noodles?’

She was curious but embarrassed to ask too many questions. Although born and raised in the south, Su Binglan happened to know more about bamboo trees and shoots more than Ye Feiran.

Ye Feiran felt awkward but admitted that Su Binglan knew much about food.

Su Wenwu asked, “Sister, isn’t that the same method for making pickled vegetables?”

Su Binglan prepared many condiments while answering, “It’s different from making pickled vegetables. Sour bamboo shoots taste different than mustard, but they both taste good.”

Su Wenwu added, “But I’ve never seen you make sour bamboo shoots, Sister.”

He had only gained some understanding of the South’s delicacies after getting to know Ye Feiran. He knew people in the south sometimes used bamboo shoots to make certain delicacies.

However, only commoners used such a thing. Still, Su Wenwu knew his sister could make something like that into a delicacy.

Su Binglan said, “I’ve been on long journeys, so I brought these with me when

I saw them.”

Since she had a pocket dimension, she would gather things to bring home, even if she did not need those things yet. Su Binglan would then collect them from her pocket dimension whenever needed.

She had already considered using bamboo shoots to make pickled vegetables last time, Now that she was making escargot noodles, she knew they would be useful.

Su Wenwu looked around and asked, “Where are they, Sister?”

He and Ye Feiran were curious to see what the bamboo shoots looked like.

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Go to where we store our grains. There’s a small jar on the rightmost side. Open it, and you should see sour bamboo shoots inside.’

Su Wenwu hurried toward the room curiously as he muttered, “When did

Sister make sour bamboo shoots? I never knew about them.’

He soon found the jar his sister mentioned and opened it. A bizarre smell permeated the room, making him cover his nose. He frowned and quickly closed the lid, but it was pointless as it was too intense.

“Sister, it stinks! Do we have to open the lid?!” Su Wenwu shouted toward the kitchen as he stood in the room.

Su Binglan knew how pungent the smell was, saying, “Move the jar to the courtyard first and then remove a small portion from it! Put the rest in the west room!”

The family typically used the west room to store things. Even if Su Wenwu opened the jar, the smell would not leave the room and affect the family.

“Okay!” Su Wenwu then moved the jar full of bamboo shoots to the courtyard. He used all his strength to move it, which impressed Ye Feiran. She looked at him and realized how powerful he was.

She liked seeing how macho Su Wenwu was. After returning to her senses, Ye Feiran said, “Hey, let me help.”

Su Wenwu said, “Um, you might not be able to.”

Ye Feiran blushed. Indeed, she knew she was too weak to help. Although she had disguised herself as a man and practiced martial arts during childhood, she only knew a little.

She was not strong enough compared to Su Wenwu, especially since his Qinggong was better. Nonetheless, he moved the vat to the courtyard and firmly placed it aside.

“Do you need something?” Ye Feiran asked, “I’ll get you a bowl.” “Yes, please. Bring a bowl and a spoon so I can scoop some out.”

“Okay,” Ye Feiran said as she hurried to the kitchen.

Soon after, Su Wenwu opened the lid and scooped some sour bamboo shoots into the bowl. However, he had gotten used to the smell because he thought they were similar to stinky tofu.

The stinkier the tofu was, the better it tasted. With that logic, Su Wenwu suspected the sour bamboo shoots would taste good. Otherwise, Su Binglan would not have made such a thing.

When Su Wenwu brought the sour bamboo shoots to the stove, Su Binglan had already prepared many ingredients. When she cut the bamboo shoots, Su

Wenwu asked, “What’s next, Sister?”

Su Binglan answered, “We’ll start the fire to fry these ingredients well.”

“Okay, Sister. I’ll start the fire now.” Su Wenvvu wanted to help his sister like he used to because he had been too busy with the hotpot restaurants.

“Wenwu, let me handle the fire,” Ye Feiran said, “You can help your sister with something else.”

“Oh, okay,” Su Wenwu turned to Su Binglan and asked, “What should I do next?”

“Wash those with plain water,” Su Binglan said as she pointed toward the escargot at the side..
