Chapter 459: Sharp-tongued
The next day, Liu Sisi got up early.
The old woman and the married woman were also up early, kneading dough in the kitchen.
Liu Sisi took over her work, quickly stead so stead buns, and also wrapped so buns. Afterwards, she fried so simple dishes in another pot, made a portion of deep-fried pork, and a cabbage stewed with rice noodles, plated them, and put them into the food box. Finally, she scooped a bowl of stewed at from the bonfire and stacked the layers of the food box.
This was the food promised to the dicine pageboy yesterday, which naturally had to be delivered early today.
Looking back at the at porridge being stewed separately in the stewing pot, it was already soft and tender, with a little added tonic, which was just right for the patient to eat.
Only then did she fill a bowl and put it on top of the food box. She sealed the food box completely, picked up the umbrella beside her, and turned back to explain to the others.
“The food in the stewing pot is prepared for my father, so when he wakes up, you can serve it to him.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“Also, when the Old Master has eaten and is ready to go out, rember to wrap up so buns for him to carry with him, so he doesn’t go hungry.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“And when the Young Master wakes up, rember to help him pack his school bag, and you, Le Ping, remind him to take care of the Young Master.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“And also…”
“Sisi, didn’t you say you wanted to go earlier? Why are you still here?”
Di Yelei had already co in from outside, holding a mane brush in his hand, apparently having brushed the jujube red horse, and looked at Liu Sisi with a puzzled expression.
“Ah! It’s getting late, I need to go.”
Liu Sisi hurried out of the house and went straight to the clinic.
Her face turned red, and she had really beco an old mother, taking a long ti to leave the room. Was it because she was pregnant? Even her temper had changed a lot.
The dicine pageboy had been waiting at the clinic early on, and as soon as he saw Liu Sisi carrying the food box, he rushed across the street, almost running into a vendor carrying a carrying pole, which made the vendor curse loudly.
The dicine pageboy still laughed hehe: “Aunt, you really ca, hehe, let see what delicious food you have brought.”
As he spoke, he pretended to steal the food box.
Liu Sisi hurriedly hid the food box behind her: “Don’t ss around! Old He hasn’t eaten yet, and you want to steal food? You’re asking for a beating!”
“Ah! — Not really?”
The dicine pageboy had a bitter gourd face and insisted: “I just want to try it, just a taste!”
“Not even half allowed, it’s so cold outside, and if opened for a while, it’ll get cold. Hurry up and go inside!”
As she spoke, she carried the food box into the clinic.
It was still early, and there were not many people in the clinic. Liu Sisi opened the food box, took out the at porridge on the surface, and covered the box again before handing it to the dicine pageboy.
“Go! You can have it. I’ll take the porridge to my Aunt.”
After saying that, she picked up the porridge.
“Pooh! It’s so virtuous. If I, the dicine pageboy, could marry such a virtuous daughter-in-law in the future, how wonderful that would be…”
After saying that, he also took the food box and went to the back hall with a swaying gait.
Mother Zuo apparently had woken up, her dim old eyes were open, and she was groping around, trying to find sothing.
Liu Sisi hurriedly went to help her: “Auntie, what are you looking for? Let Sisi help you.”
“My girl, you’re here. You’re here so early. Don’t worry about , I just want a drink of water…” Mother Zuo’s spirit seed to be better, and there was a bit of a smile on her face.
“Auntie, let pour it for you!”
While speaking, she didn’t give the other party a chance to refuse, she directly poured half a bowl of water, carefully cooled it, and handed it to her mouth: “Here, Auntie, have a drink.”
Mother Zuo was obviously thirsty, and she drank all of the half-bowl of water before putting the bowl down.
“My girl, your na is Sisi? Our Yu Er used to have a fiancée nad Si Er. But she wasn’t as kind-hearted as you are.”
Speaking of this, Mother Zuo even seed a bit resentful.
Liu Sisi’s hand paused slightly before continuing to scoop the at porridge. How was she supposed to respond to this?
Mother Zuo didn’t notice Liu Sisi’s change, and instead continued to complain.
“That Si Er relied on her good embroidery skills and never took others seriously, let alone broke off her engagent with our Yu Er because she was greedy for wealth, and shalessly climbed up to…”
“Cough, cough! Auntie, this is the at porridge I just made. I put so nourishing dicinal materials in it. You should eat it soon!”
Liu Sisi interrupted her.
Seeing that the other person was a patient, and also blind, she didn’t want to argue with her.
But anyone would find it unbearable to hear such things from soone in front of them, right? Interrupting the other party’s words and not scolding them was already quite comndable!
“Alright, alright! Girl, let do it.”
Mother Zuo groped for the bowl: “You’re such a good-hearted person, with a lovely voice and excellent cooking skills. Moreover, you take care of this blind old woman. It’s really hard to find soone as kind as you… ”
Liu Sisi was quite amused. Was Mother Zuo praising her? Or being sarcastic?
If she wasn’t sure the other party couldn’t see her looks, she might have thought Mother Zuo was using irony!
Thinking about it, life is indeed full of irony sotis!
In the following days, Liu Sisi delivered food to Mother Zuo every day. Naturally, she also brought als to Old He along the way.
Old He indeed had a picky taste. One day, Liu Sisi was too busy to cook and asked Ms. Gao to help stir-fry so vegetables, which she then put in the food box and brought over. To Liu Sisi’s surprise, Old He took a bite of the vegetables and imdiately spat them out.
“Ptui! Ptui! What is wrong with today’s vegetables? Sisi, this dish wasn’t made by you, was it?” Old He asked pointedly.
“This… I had sothing to do earlier, so I asked Ms. Gao to help stir-fry the vegetables…”
Liu Sisi casually said as she picked up so clean bamboo chopsticks and took a bite. She couldn’t find any difference in taste! How did Old He taste it? It’s quite strange!
“Hmph! Do you think you can deceive my experienced taste? The food you cook has a heavenly sweetness, while this dish has a bitter taste. It’s clearly not made by your hand. Old He isn’t so old that he can’t even taste the difference!” Old He huffed.
Liu Sisi tasted again but still couldn’t find any difference. She could only assu that Old He’s taste buds were different from others!
However, after that, Liu Sisi made all the als she sent to the clinic herself.
After returning ho, Liu Sisi ntioned the matter to Di Yelei by chance. Unexpectedly, Di Yelei laughed aloud after hearing it.
“I agree with Old He, the dishes you make are indeed delicious! Haha…”
