Song Yao had wanted to open a restaurant a long time ago, but unfortunately, she didn’t have much capital at that time.
She had already bought a house in town. When the house was renovated, she could build a small restaurant in the warehouse.
“Will that work? What if they don’t like our cooking?” Gu Li was a little worried. The villagers’ cooking was not as exquisite as the people in the city. It was fine as long as the food they made could be eaten. Would the city people be used to eating it?
However, Song Yao shook her head and said, “Don’t worry. I know how to cook.”
“You? Cook?” Gu Li couldn’t help but laugh.
It wasn’t that she wanted to hurt Song Yao. Before her daughter got married, let alone cooking, she hadn’t even done housework. Even if she married Yu Yong and had to go to the fields to do farm work, cooking was her sister-in-law He Xi’s business. She didn’t believe that Song Yao knew how to cook. Even if she knew how to cook, could the food she made be edible?
“Who said I don’t know how to cook? My cooking is delicious!” Song

Even if she knew how to cook, could the food she made be edible?
“Who said I don’t know how to cook? My cooking is delicious!” Song Yao insisted.
Back then, when she married Yu Yong, she was worried that Yu Yong wouldn’t be used to the food in the army. She specially found a chef in the city to teach her culinary skills and cooked delicious food for Yu Yong every day.
Even Captain Zuo, who had seen the world, could not stop praising her cooking. What was wrong with opening a small restaurant?
However, it was useless to say it. She had to take action!
Song Yao took a basin of rice and two eggs to the kitchen. Song Xiao was really worried that his sister would blow up the kitchen, so he followed her out.
“Sis, are you really going to cook?”
Song Yao smiled. “Why? You don’t believe me either?”
Song Xiao’s expression was ugly. He remembered that his sister had
only cooked instant noodles twice, but couldn’t that thing be cooked simply with boiling water?
“Sister, why don’t we stop showing off? If it really doesn’t work, let Mom sell some braised eggs. We can also find a few more restaurants and ask them if they need supplies.”
Song Yao ignored him. She had chicken, duck, fish, and fresh vegetables at home. She could open a restaurant herself.
In the past, Song Yao had no money on hand and could only supply goods to the restaurant. However, now that she had spare money on hand, supplying goods was not a long-term solution. If she wanted to expand the business, she had to do it alone!
While she was thinking, the fire in the wok had already started. Song Yao poured a spoonful of lard into it and stirred it. When the oil was warm, she beat the eggs and stir-fried them.
The air was filled with the fragrance of scrambled eggs. Song Xiao was completely dumbfounded. His sister really knew how to cook?
While the eggs were cooked, Song Yao poured the rice in and added some seasonings to stir-fry them back and forth. After a while, the egg fried rice was out of the wok.
Staring at the delicious-looking rice in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn’t expect Song Yao to not only know how to cook, but the food she made also looked good!
Song Yao scooped a bowl of egg fried rice for Song Xiao. “Try it?”
Song Xiao picked up the spoon and hesitated for a moment before eating it. The fresh fragrance of the rice was mixed with the fragrance of eggs. Perhaps it was because Song Yao had added lard, but this bowl of fried rice still had the fragrance of meat. It was simply the best fried rice he had ever eaten in his life!
“How is it?” Song Ping asked curiously.
Song Xiao scooped a little for Song Ping. “Dad, Mom, Cousin, try it all. My sister’s cooking is delicious!”
“Really?” Gu Li and Song Ping looked at each other. They didn’t believe that Song Yao could cook.
Gu Li felt that Song Yao’s food looked good. Would it really taste good?
She ate a spoonful with the intention of giving it a try. The fragrance of fried rice exploded in her taste buds. This was really the best egg fried rice she had ever eaten!
“When did you learn to cook? You haven’t shown us anything since you came back!”
Song Yao smiled. “I want to cook. Mom, you didn’t want me to.”
The corners of Gu Li’s lips twitched. “I’m just feeling sorry for you. You’ve worked all day, so how can I let you cook? However, your culinary skills are really good! Not to mention opening a restaurant, even if you open a restaurant in the capital, there will be people who will like to eat it!”
Song Yao was a little embarrassed by Gu Li’s words. “Mom, it’s not as exaggerated as you say.”
She wanted to open the restaurant to feed people. At the very least, Baby Xuan’s life in the future could not be as she had dreamed.
“I’ve thought about it. In the future, the restaurant will be opened in the warehouse outside the courtyard, ” Song Yao said.
“I think it’s fine!” Song Ping added, “There’s a market on the newly built street in town. There should be a lot of people!”
Song Yao smiled, as if she suddenly thought of something. “By the way,
Cousin, don’t farm anymore.. When you work for me, I’ll give you a salary!”
