Qin Erlong also voiced his objections. “Zhenzhen, please listen to me. You won’t earn much money, and it’s not worth the trouble.”

However, Qin Zhenzhen remained firm, determined to persuade her brother to agree.

“Are you afraid I’ll create a mess in the kitchen?” she quipped.

Su Ning and Su Cheng telt disappointed, but eventually Qin Zhenzhen’s elder brother and second brother relented.

“Fine, you can give it a try!”

“Sometimes, you have to learn from your mistakes!”

“Just make sure you don’t start a fire. Your sister-in-laws will be coming to prepare breakfast later.”

“Don’t worry, brother, there won’t be any fire!” Qin Zhenzhen a.s.sured him, beaming with excitement.

She cheerfully took the necessary items to the back of the store.

She even promised her brothers, “You can rely on me for breakfast. Eggs and pancakes will suffice!”

The cooking area at the back of the store resembled a typical kitchen found in rural households, equipped with all the essentials.

The water tank was full, and there was an ample supply of lard.

An abundance of firewood awaited their use for the day.

Qin Zhenzhen turned to Su Ning and said, “I’m going to buy flour and eggs. Meanwhile, you can prepare the vegetables and garlic sprouts. I’ll be back shortly.”

“Okay!” Su Ning and Su Cheng replied enthusiastically.

Qin Zhenzhen was familiar with the places to purchase flour and eggs, so she swiftly procured the necessary ingredients and returned home.

Of course, she started with a cautious amount, not daring to buy too much initially.

They purchased 1.5 kilograms of flour and 20 eggs.

Since it was still early and there weren’t many people around, Qin Zhenzhen decided to make a few more batches of pancakes.

The three of them worked together, filling the kitchen with the enticing aroma of eggs and pancakes.

Qin Zhenzhen arranged a plate with freshly cooked pancakes and said to Su Ning and her brother, “I’ll take these to my brother, and you should enjoy them while they’re still warm.”

“But make sure to keep an eye on the pancakes in the pot and remember to flip them,” she added.

“Sure, go and help your brother!” Su Ning replied, not in a hurry to eat the pancakes herself. Instead, she diligently flipped the pancakes in the pot.

While she considered herself fast, she couldn’t help but acknowledge that her Third Sister-in-law was even better at pancake flipping.

Su Cheng, on the other hand, ate a pancake with one hand while tending to the fire with the other.

Observing his sister busy with her tasks, he held a pancake up to her mouth and said, “Take a bite. It tastes just as good as the ones from the day before yesterday.”

He had been concerned that the pancakes might taste different, but now he felt rea.s.sured and filled with h0De.

If the pancakes proved to be popular and they could sell them every day, they would soon earn enough money to repay their uncle’s family. Although their uncle’s family had given them a three-day grace period, they could still borrow some money from them. After all, Third Sister-in-law’s brother would likely be willing to lend them the funds.

Su Ning took a bite of the pancake her brother offered, and as she savored it, she wore a contented expression. “It’s delicious!”

“I’m going to learn how to season it myself!” she declared.

Although the ingredients were prepared by Third Sister-in-law, the flavor of the pancakes remained consistent and delightful.

That particular skill involved the art of ingredient blending.

However, unbeknownst to Su Ning, Qin Zhenzhen had a secret ingredient of her own—a touch of spiritual water.

Qin Zhenzhen possessed a remarkable talent for crafting ingredients.

Carrying the steaming hot pancakes, Qin Zhenzhen arrived at the pork store.

“Elder Brother, Second Brother, come and taste the pancakes I’ve made. I guarantee you’ll be full of praises,” she beckoned.

Qin Dalong chuckled. “Zhenzhen, since when did you become such a bragger?”

Qin Erlong joined in the laughter. “You’re just complimenting yourself!”

However, as the tempting scent of egg and pancakes wafted through the air, they couldn’t resist grabbing a pancake and taking a bite.

Their expressions grew even more delighted than when they had finished the barley crucian carp soup..
