Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 55
Advertisement
Su Wan rolled her eyes as she slapped Lin Yan 's hand away " who is going to get crow feet ? huh ? huh ?"
Lin Yan scrunched up his brows and looked at Su Wan who was pouting unhappily , at first he wanted to say 'you ' but then Su Wan narrowed her eyes at him and hurriedly changed his words " I - I will be the one getting crow feet , of course . If my wife gets upset , I will get upset too and if I get upset ,I will get worried , with my poor skin condition of course I will be the one getting crow feet "
Su Wan harummphed while Lin Yan uneasily rubbed his chest feeling as if a huge weight had just dropped off his shoulders . Right now , he had an inkling that if he said 'you ' , Su Wan might lock him out of her room .
He was already the last one in the line , if he ended up getting kicked out , he might as well become a monk and serve in a temple ! Luckily , his living instincts were so good .
Su Wan glanced at his greatly relieved expression and snickered , its good that her husband was smart , what woman liked to hear her husband complain about her getting old and weary ? no one right ?
" Alright , we better start cooking " said Su Wan as she tilted her head at the firewood and Lin Yan immediately understood. He hurriedly took out some firewood and placed it under the stove before bringing it to fire . Once the fire was lit , Su Wan placed the chicken broth over the stove and brought it to a boil , usually to prepare the sauce of the Egg foo Yung , a medium heat was required thus when she realized that the fire was hot enough she stopped Lin Yan from adding any more firewood " that will be enough , stand up and see , right now I'm preparing chicken broth because it's a necessary ingredient in making the sauce of Egg foo Yung "

" Egg foo Yung ?" mused Lin Yan looking at the abundant amount of ingredients that Su Wan was using to cook it , there were ten eggs ! Ten eggs just those ten eggs were enough to make Lin Yan's heart ache . Previously , he agreed to let Su Wan sell The Sainsbury's fish steak because fish was completely free for them , all the family needed to do was to grab buckets and head to the river but eggs were not free !
Seeing his begruding expression , Su Wan pulled a long face as she inwardly scolded 'what a miser!' . Lin Yan who didn't know that he was deemed as a miser was still looking at the ingredients when he saw the Lap cheong ( chinese sausages ) that Su Wan prepared last night before going to sleep .
" What's this ?" momentarily distracted he picked up a chinese sausage and sniffed , from the smell alone Lin Yan was clear that it was meat but this was the first time he had seen meat like this .
Su Wan was stunned ; she never thought that chinese sausages weren't even invented in this era, no wonder the food was less than satisfactory . And here she thought that her family was too poor to afford chinese sausages .
" Its Lap cheong , its made from rice wine ( brandy ) and pork with some -"
" pork you are using pork ?" once Lin Yan realized that the beautiful pink and reddish meat was made from pork , he jumped like a cat on hot tin can and carefully placed the so called sausages back " do you have any idea how much pork costs ? Its forty wen a kilo ! If we sell a dish with pork in it , we might as well go bankrupt before we even start earning !"
Su Wan who was scolded for being a spend thrift so early in the morning couldn't stay silent , she immediately slapped the kitchen counter and pointed at Lin Yan angrily " You are such a miser ! Do you think I don't know how much pork costs ? Of course I know ! I never said that I was going to sell it at the same price as Sainsbury's fish steak , I was going to sell a single Egg foo Yung for fifteen wen ! And just so you know a chinese sausages doesn't make the entire dish , it also includes vegetables and eggs and what do you mean by counting out the money in front of me ? You want to run a restaurant but don't want to invest? Why do you think our Sainsbury's fish steak sold so well ? It was because it was delicious and value for money ! If you want to sell riff raff food in our restaurant than what's the difference between you and the old chefs !"

Su Wan hated it when somebody took the matter of hygiene and value for money in the food industry lightly . If you were selling a dish for even twenty something , you need to make sure that you were sell the customer something that was worthy of his hard earned money !
Earning money was important but giving your customers the absolute best was even more important !
" and just so you know , I'm not planning to mass sell this dish , its only good for breakfast and dinner - I originally planned to sell it only at morning and night but if you think its too much . You can go and sell your flat pancakes, let's see who buys it !" huffed Su Wan with that she turned around to leave but just then Lin Yan embraced her from behind and leaned his forehead on her shoulder .
" I - I'm sorry . I promised that I won't hurt you but I still did , its just I'm worried - mother's medicine costs a lot and we just decided to send Ah Rui to academy and there is also Ah Yu who needs to see a doctor in the city . There is just so many expenses to count and my earning is no where near to fill it up "
Ever since Lin Yan was a child , he some what became the head of his family . His elder brother was always on the mountains hunting and each time his elder brother successfully sold a game all the money was seized by Grandma Lin , leaving only one or two copper coins which wasn't enough to fill the stomach of a family of six. In the end Lin Yan had to take on the responsibility of his family and he started earning money but because he was a child he couldn't earn much and thus , everytime Grandma Lin tried to take money from his hand , Lin Yan would have to fight tooth and nail . Growing up in such an environment , it was Lin Yan 's second nature to save money , such a habit it was hard to let go .
