Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2189: Chapter 1866: Honored Only Child

When it comes to other things, Teacher Tang doesn’t care much, but when it comes to critiquing people or gossiping... oh dear!

She absolutely loves it!

The old lady is sharp-tongued but usually holds back.

She even proudly says, "Don’t think I’m too old to keep up with the times. I know all about your live romance shows and commentators that young people watch nowadays."

We just haven’t started a live stream room to critique, or else we could do it better than them; they just muddle through.

What can you say!

Song Tan nodded vehemently, like Li Lianying: "Yes, yes, right, right, we need someone as sharp and honest as you..."

Lady Tang beamed, her short stature seemed taller, until she sat modestly at the dining table, first frowning at the simple stainless steel bowls from the countryside, then taking a deep breath, getting dizzy from the aroma of roast duck.

Well, her head was filled with the aroma, what more can be said?

She didn’t even wait for Professor Song to roll a duck pancake for her; she reached with chopsticks and accurately grabbed a piece of crispy, tender, oily amber duck skin.

Then her chopsticks paused between the sweet bean sauce and spicy sauce.

Luckily, the hometown flavor leans towards sweetness, so she hesitated only briefly before lightly dipping it in the sweet bean sauce!

She didn’t miss the scallion slices, cucumber sticks, and melon strips on the table, ensuring everything was well-covered; such a thin spring pancake almost couldn’t wrap it!

Others at the table were also bouncing back and forth in front of their sauce dishes.

Seventh Uncle personally roasted the duck and personally mixed the sauces, feeling mighty proud:

"Don’t hesitate, try the sweet bean sauce first, it’s made from the Song Family’s flour, and I slowly fried it over a low fire on the wood stove for the aroma!"

In the summer heat, if not for the strong air conditioning in the kitchen, who would want this toil?

Thus, he especially had the right to speak:

"Start with the milder flavor, then later try the spicy for a real kick."

Yet still not satisfied: "Tantan, this year don’t make all the Huang Dou, leave some to brew our own soy sauce! And when your apples ripen, I plan to brew some rice vinegar."

"The Nuomi also needs to be brewed for vinegar."

Song Tan paused her chopsticks.

The duck skin was roasted crisp and aromatic, not tough to chew, but rather smooth and crispy. Then she rolled a slice of tender duck meat, lightly dipped in the sauce, spread evenly on the spring pancake, and placed the scallion slices, cucumber sticks...

The melon, being chosen slightly unripe, didn’t overpower with sweetness but instead was crisp, with extra fragrant fruit aroma.

Rolled just like this—

If not for Lun Chuan sparing a hand to make her two rolls first, she wouldn’t have had time to speak.

But even so, after hearing Seventh Uncle’s words, she smiled and said:

"Seventh Uncle, it’s not like we have conditions here, or else would we even salt our own salt?"

Seventh Uncle glanced at her, thinking the girl grew up, but still not as thoughtful as Qiaoqiao.

He snorted:

"You know we don’t have conditions, right? If you could secure a salt lake or dig a salt well, maybe we’d be eating our own salt."

Whoa! After saying this, the whole table burst into laughter:

Despite Seventh Uncle being old, he sure dares to dream!

"Why wouldn’t I dare to dream?" Seventh Uncle said:

"I’ve been saying for ages that the condiments are holding us back, though we do grow green onion, ginger, and garlic, the Star Anise Tree is big, but last year it only yielded enough for our own use."

"And those green and red pepper trees, you, yes you, even thought of planting peppers, why insist on planting just one tree? Can that be enough for anything?"

By the end of June, the green peppers ripen first, but there’s only a pound at most; when dried, it’s just ten to twenty pounds.

By early October, when the red peppers are harvested, they’re just enough for a few lobster plates.

Look at the bowls on the table—thankfully today we’re having roast duck; the sliced roast duck would get steamy if stacked, so they’re using shallow plates, while side dishes use stainless steel bowls.

Even so, the amount of food is impressive here.

Just this kind of pig farming method, how would ten pounds of pepper suffice?

Not to mention, soon the lobsters would grow, with a basin every day, the peppers would flow out like water, right? After all, you can’t always eat garlic or steamed ones.

Seventh Uncle was frustrated thinking about this.

Song Tan helplessly replied: "Seventh Uncle, not many of the condiments are ones we can grow even if we wish to. Look, under our apple trees we planted cardamom, but the climate here isn’t suitable; the bought tall seedlings, blooming in June is a challenge."
