Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 144 - A Big Catch



Chapter 144 - A Big Catch

" What did you say ?" Su Wan asked in a dangerous sort of voice , her voice deepened and went down a pitch , this was the exact same voice that she had used at Lin Yan in the night .

The second Lin Yan caught? the change in Su Wan 's aura , his words got caught in his throat and he choked . Why ? Why did he suddenly had this urge for asking Su Wan to step on him just like last night ? This- this wasn't normal was it ?

Why did he wanted to get dominated ? Ah ! Shouldn't he be the dominant one !

Lin Yan was confused with his uncommon sexual desires which gave Su Wan the time to get out of the room , dump the bloody water in the outhouse and then after burying? off the evidence of her humiliation , she took? a good cooling bath in the bath house .

Once she was done changing , she immediately went towards the water vat where she had left the essential oils to freeze . She hurriedly took out the bowls and checked them , just as she expected a few of the failed , there were no thin layer of oil coating on top of the extraction but luckily she made two batches and somehow she was able to get essential oils of every scent including the extra essential oil of Rose .

Then she took those essential oils and started to prepare soaps . Since Su Wan didn't have any idea how to get lye here in this era she decided to extract an alternative? from? the soapwort that her husbands used . First she took proper measure to clean out the kitchen counter where she will be making the soaps then tied her hair and cleaned her hands properly then she started extracting the soapwort essence ,the procedure took a long time and it was about an hour later that Su Wan ended up making enough soapwort essence for thirty or so soaps .

Then she took one fourth of the essence and mixed it with water stirring it ( i have no idea , I'm just doing a hell lot of research on this and that and just came with this one random method as ash could be used in place of lye but it is not a safe alternative either as it harms the skin , so don't try my method just take it as a work of friction ) after that she left it alone .

Then she warmed her essential oils in hot water waiting until they were hot enough ranging between the temperature of ninety to hundred degrees then she took a bowl and added the oils closely followed by the soapwort essence . She kept stirring until the mixture started resembling a fluffy white pudding mixture then added the dried flower leaves and some herbs .

Done finishing she took out a square tray with borders and poured the mixture in it , wrapping the tray in an old cloth so as to keep the heat trapped in . Su Wan heaved a sigh then she kept repeating the process until she made two or three batch of the soaps nearly finishing her stock of essential oils .

She picked up the trays and one by one transferred them to her room , which quite fortunately was no longer occupied by a naked Lin Yan . She kept those trays in an inconspicuous corner so that no one end up kicking it and spilling the mixture in case they didn't look down .

She need to wait for four weeks or more to have the soaps cured before she could sell them , thus Su Wan wasn't in a hurry to create another batch. Instead she was quite pleased with this one batch alone , right now she had no grasp of the market - what if no ones brought these soaps because no one had seen such a thing before ? Thus Su Wan wanted? to make sure that these soaps end up creating a demand before she created another batch .

By the time Su Wan finished making soaps , the sun rose from the horizon after so many days of absence? and started shining like a brilliant golden orb in the sky , drowning the entire village in its golden? glow in all directions . Under the sunshine a faint golden glow could be seen at the top of the mountain , the birds chirped and hopped around enjoying the feel of warm sunlight warming their cold feathers , a the veil of the mis thinned after days and children relished the new morning by being even more boisterous than ever before .

" Wife you are awake " Lin Chen who had gone out to God knows where finally returned , he was grinning from ear to ear as he strode towards Su Wan and shoved the bucket he was carrying in his hands " I wanted to eat fish today , so I went to the river and caught some - however today seemed to be my lucky day as I caught this big fish " said Lin Chen happily pointing to the big fish that was still struggling with an air of not wanting to give up to its faith .

Su Wan gasped , the fish was indeed really big , She haven't gone to the river after that one time when she caught the shrimps but Lin Yan and Lin Chen would go and catch fishes every day as the restaurant required a constant stock of fish .

Who knows when Lin Chen 's fish catching skills surpassed hers , now Lin Chen alone could catch three or four catties of fish without anyone helping him .

" this is really? such a big fish !" Exclaimed Su Wan , with this big fish and the small ones , she could cook steamed fish and Stir-fried Gai lan with fish cake and lap cheong and her favourite spring onion braised fish and Grandma's Shanghai smoked fish!

Ah , she hurriedly swallowed her drool , she couldn't cook these dishes before as they did not have much ingredients before and she had to think twice before using them , though she acted as if she didn't care but she was indeed taking consideration of the financial conditions before cooking .

Now , that she finally doesn't need to worry about money , she can finally cook her favourite dishes without worrying about using up cooking oils and spices .
