Chapter 150 - 150 Delicious and Nutritious

150 Delicious and Nutritious

There was no ham in that era, so Su Binglan took two pieces of chicken, seasoned them, and put them in a pan. She sliced some tomatoes, washed some vegetables, and cut them on a cutting board. Then she spread some sweet sauce on the bread she had made when making her desserts.

After smearing the sweet sauce onto the slices of bread, she layered them with fried eggs, chicken, tomatoes, and vegetables. Then she cut the sandwiches into triangles and put them onto a plate.

Su Binglan noticed it was still early, so she made eight sandwiches. She and her husband had one each, while she planned to send the other six to her parents’ house.

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua had already woken up when Su Binglan and her husband went to the shabby house. Su Fengmao and his wife were making tofu at that time.

Su Binglan’s parents and the others typically drank soy milk and ate tofu in the morning to save time and trouble. Anyway, tofu was delicious and nutritious and would keep them full the whole morning.

It was already good enough for ordinary families in that era to eat their fill, let alone have proper food. Most of the time, the villagers only had some coarse-grain porridge for breakfast.

Nonetheless, the Su family could eat tofu and drink soy milk to fill their stomachs, so they were satisfied. Still, Su Binglan thought it was not good to eat tofu all the time and had to switch it up from time to time.

Liu Yinyin was collecting more firewood in the yard. When she saw Su Binglan, she smiled gently and said, “Binglan, you’re here.”

“Yeah, I made breakfast for everyone.” Su Binglan held the sandwiches in a small basket.

Su Xuehai was squatting by the basin, washing his hands and face when he saw his aunt and uncle. He quickly stood up and ran over. “Hello, Aunt Binglan and Uncle Jin’an!” His voice was clear, making others happy.

Su Binglan reached out and gently pinched Su Xuehai’s cheek. She could not help but sigh inwardly. The little boy had perfect skin, soft and tender.

“Wash your hands, wipe them, and come to the house for breakfast, okay?”

Su Xuehai nodded obediently. “Yes, Aunt Binglan!”

Su Binglan looked at the little kid and thought he was adorable.

Meanwhile, Su Xuexuan was reading a book in the kitchen. The book seemed tattered, and it was the Three Musketeers, but Su Xuexuan read it tentatively.

It was still quite early, and the sun was about to rise, but the light was dim. Therefore, Su Xuexuan used the light from the stove to read his book. Su Binglan felt gratified when she noticed how eager Su Xuexuan was to learn.

Everyone looked forward to Su Binglan’s breakfast because they knew how well she cooked. Even though the others did not know what she had made, they still felt hungry.

Su Binglan brought the basket to the table and said, “These are sandwiches. They have eggs, chicken, tomatoes, and vegetables in them. They’re nutritious too.”

“We can tell they’re delicious just by looking at them!” The Su family could not wait to eat the sandwiches.

Su Binglan said, “It’s okay to use your hands to eat them. You won’t have trouble doing other things if you do.”

She gave the little ones half a sandwich each. Su Xuehai held the sandwich and could not wait to take a bite. He said excitedly, “Wow, it looks delicious, Aunt Binglan!”

“There’s one for each of you, so there’s still half remaining. Eat the rest so you won’t be hungry when you go to school.”

Su Xuehai ate so quickly that his cheeks bulged. He heard his aunt’s words and nodded. “Yes, Aunt Binglan.”

Su Xuexuan echoed, “Thank you, Aunt Binglan. It’s delicious.”

Su Fengmao, Shen Qiuhua, Su Wenzhe, and Liu Yinyin also enjoyed their sandwiches. They praised Su Binglan endlessly.

Su Wenzhe said, “Oh, indeed, it tastes so good! Can we serve breakfast at the shop too?”
