Chapter 442: Chapter 436

Qin Xue was thinking about starting to make various kinds of pills one by one — making stop-bleeding and anti-aging pills for now, and later adding health care, cold treatment, and stomach-nurturing ones, among others. As long as she knew how to make them, she would make them all.

Even if they didn’t sell, she could always keep them in her space as a backup.

After making the last jar of ointment into pills, Qin Xue tidied up the stove and left the space.

It was time to cook. She took out a large jar of wine that she had made earlier and picked some vegetables. She caught a fish to make a pickled cabbage fish dish later.

Pickled cabbage fish was one of Qin Xue’s favorite dishes. Just thinking about the tender fish meat soaked in sour soup with the crispy pickled cabbage made her salivate.

Qin Xue rinsed the rice and started marinating the sliced fish with potato starch, salt, ginger, scallion sections, and soy sauce.

She took out the pickled cabbage and chopped it finely, stir-fried the spices in a washed pot, and added some chili peppers to fry until fragrant, causing Qin Xue to sneeze from the spicy smell.

Qin Xue poured the pickled cabbage into the pot, stir-fried it a few times, added water, and stewed it. The purpose of stir-frying pickled cabbage is to increase its sourness. Since Chu Molin had not yet returned, she had no choice but to adjust the sourness of the pickled cabbage while waiting for him to finish work.

If it were made for immediate consumption, there would be no need to stir-fry the pickled cabbage. Instead, boil water, pour the pickled cabbage, and fish bones into the pot to make a soup. This method would result in a delicious soup with a moderate sour taste.

Thus, when making pickled cabbage fish, ingredients should be added in different stages depending on the time.

Qin Xue made a pickled cabbage fish dish, then thought about it and made a cold cucumber salad and a stir-fried vegetable dish.

Just as Qin Xue was placing the dishes on the table, Chu Molin came home from work.

“You’re back. Go wash your hands and have dinner.” Qin Xue looked at the man who had just entered the house and smiled.

“Ok.” Chu Molin put his hat and belt away and went to the bathroom to wash up before eating.

After talking to Chu Molin, Qin Xue went into the kitchen and added the fish slices to the pickled cabbage soup. Once it was boiling, it could be eaten  simple and convenient.

“Xue’er, don’t carry it, leave it there, and I’ll carry it.” Right when Qin Xue was about to carry the pot wrapped in cloth, Chu Molin entered the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xue promptly put the cloth down and let him take over. She loved it when someone else took care of things for her.

Chu Molin carried the pickled cabbage fish out while Qin Xue took out bowls, chopsticks, and spoons.

“Did you go out today?” Chu Molin glanced at the dishes on the table and asked casually.

“No, why?” Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin, puzzled.

“Oh, nothing, just asking.” Chu Molin understood—this must be another one of Qin Xue’s secrets.

“This fish is delicious.” Chu Molin picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, his eyes lighting up.

“If it’s good, eat more. I made plenty.” Qin Xue handed him a bowl of rice.

“Alright, you eat too.” Chu Molin picked out a piece of fish and gave it to Qin Xue.

“Okay, let’s all eat.” Qin Xue glanced at Chu Molin with a smile.

While the couple happily ate their dinner, Fang Xiu was still taking care of Jing Xin.

“Jing Xin, when will you wake up? You’ve been asleep for so many days. I’ve had to send Taotao to someone else’s house. If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll have to bring Taotao here to take care of you.” At first, Fang Xiu brought Jingtao along while taking care of Jing Xin, but it was too much for her to handle.

Later, she sent Jingtao to someone else’s place. This was not a long-term solution, though.

If Jing Xin didn’t wake up soon, she wouldn’t be able to keep sending Taotao elsewhere. People would start to have opinions about it. Moreover, this arrangement wasn’t good for Taotao either. As his mother, she couldn’t neglect her son. So what she hoped for the most now was for Jing Xin to wake up as soon as possible.
