Chapter 551: Roasted Sweet Potato

Gu Zi nodded, accepting the tin foil from Su Shen to place the sweet potato on. She let Su Shen drizzle honey over it before wrapping it up in the foil. She glanced at him and agreed with Aunt Zhang, “It seems like you’re making a lot of sense this time, Aunt Zhang.”

Indeed, no matter how much she tried to maintain her rationality, if the man didn’t cooperate, it was impossible to achieve harmony. Ultimately, it depended on who the other person was, and whether they were willing to be fully tolerant.

Aunt Zhang’s words served as a reminder to her. She shouldn’t take Su Shen’s kindness for granted, but should actively reciprocate. A plan formed in her mind.

Su Shen was also watching her, his dark eyes seemingly trying to see through her. “What are you two talking about? What’s this about an interview? Tell me about it.”

He took out the honeycomb briquettes, placed the sweet potato wrapped by Gu Zi into the stove, and buried it under the charcoal. Now all it needed was time to cook to perfection. Soon, Gu Zi would be able to enjoy a delicious roasted sweet potato.

Gu Zi explained, “It happened yesterday. A reporter from Guangcheng Daily Life came to interview our shop. They work very efficiently. I guess we’ll be in the newspaper in a day or two. I haven’t had a chance to share this with you yet.”

Su Shen replied, “That’s okay, you can tell me now.” He had been very busy lately, barely having time to come home. He wouldn’t blame Gu Zi for not sharing the news with him immediately.

Aunt Zhang watched the young couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were indeed a perfect match. If it weren’t for her grandson insisting on roasting sweet potatoes, she wouldn’t have the heart to be a third wheel, interrupting the couple’s private time.

However, once the sweet potatoes were done, she would take Shi Tou home. This way, they wouldn’t be disturbed for too long. That was Aunt Zhang’s plan.

An hour later, the sweet aroma of the sweet potatoes filled the air. Su Shen had gone upstairs to put the sleeping Su Le to bed, leaving Gu Zi, Aunt Zhang, and Shi Tou chatting idly around the stove.

Gu Zi took out some bok choy to prepare for lunch. Aunt Zhang helped pick the vegetables, and they quickly finished a whole basin. Gu Zi took the prepared bok choy to the kitchen, soaked it in a basin of water, and then took a pair of tongs to the stove to retrieve the foil-wrapped sweet potato.

As soon as the foil was opened, the sweet aroma of the sweet potato filled the air. Shi Tou’s chubby little hand reached out instantly, but the heat made him shake his hand. “I want to eat roasted sweet potato, it’s so hot, wuwuwu…”

Aunt Zhang quickly patted his hand, looking at her grandson’s pitiful state, she couldn’t help but tease, “Look at you, so weak-hearted for the sake of your mouth. Is this all the ambition you have in life? Gu Zi, can you get some salt? I’ll treat his burn, it’s all red, this little glutton!” Aunt Zhang’s words were teasing, but she was also worried about her grandson.

According to their life experience, salt could replace burn ointment. If applied immediately after a burn, it could prevent blisters from forming. That was why Aunt Zhang asked Gu Zi for salt.

Gu Zi quickly took Shi Tou to the faucet to rinse his hand with cold water. Shi Tou was pulled away, but his heart and eyes were still on the sweet potato. As he cried from the pain, he asked, “Fairy Sister, can we still eat the roasted sweet potato? Shi Tou wants to eat roasted sweet potato!”

Gu Zi was helpless, patiently explaining, “Of course we can eat it. But first, we need to treat your burned hand. Aunt Zhang, there’s no need to go through all that trouble. I have burn ointment here. Su Shen bought it from a pharmacy in the city last time. He said it works very well.”

Su Shen was worried about her getting burned while cooking, so he had bought a tube of burn ointment from a city pharmacy. She hadn’t used it yet, but now it came in handy. It was always good to be prepared.

Su Shen came down at this moment, and Gu Z izi asked him to get the ointment. He went back inside.

Aunt Zhang looked relieved and apologetic. She was relieved that Gu Zi had medicine, and she was sure it was good, so she didn’t have to worry about Shi Tou’s burn. She felt apologetic because Shi Tou had burned himself out of greed, and now they had to trouble others. The ointment brought back from the city must have been expensive.
