45: Chapter 45 Face Issue (1)_1 45: Chapter 45 Face Issue (1)_1 She had planned breakfast the night before: steam a pot of fluffy, soft rice, slice so Crystal Jelly and serve it with minced garlic and soy sauce; make a pot of aromatic bone soup with rabbit’s skeleton – the children were still growing, and nothing was better for their nourishnt than bone soup -; then stir-fry Shredded at with Solid Egg.
But today’s Solid Egg would taste even better than yesterday’s, because today there was an important addition to the seasoning – cumin!
When she cooked, she made so extra food and took out a portion for the four Divine Beasts.
After the al was ready, she sent the Divine Beasts’ portion into the Space first before serving the al to her mother and the children at ho.
“Mother, it’s ti for our al!”
She put the crystal clear Crystal Jelly and the appealing Shredded at Solid Egg on the kang table.
“Older sister, what is this?
It slls so good!”
Wu’er, who was woken up by the aroma of the food, peeked out his fluffy little head from the bed, his big eyes flickering at the table.
Cai Wei gently touched his head, which was as small as a chick, and explained warmly: “This is Crystal Jelly made from Pork skin, it tastes very good when eaten with soy sauce and minced garlic!
And this one is called Shredded at Phoenix Egg.
It costs eighty wen for a plate in the restaurant.
Wu’er, do you want to get up and try it?”
“Yes yes yes!” Wu’er bobbed his head like a pecking chicken, and regardless of the warmth of his bed, he quickly climbed up and hastily put on his clothes.
Wen’er was up too, and unlike Wu’er’s hasty movents, he calmly dressed and looked at the dishes on the table with his bright eyes inquisitively, “Sister, how did you co up with these dishes!”
Cai Wei coughed and looked elsewhere, “These are dishes that I heard about in the town and tried to make, I didn’t expect them to be so delicious!”
It wasn’t that she was not good at lying, but when faced with Wen’er’s clear pupils, she felt that even a well-intentioned lie was a sin that was hard to redeem against his innocent spirit.
“Oh, is that so!”
After hearing Cai Wei’s explanation, the whole family did not doubt her.
They quickly cleaned up and gathered around the table.
“Hmm, it really is delicious!”
Mother Lady Du exclaid after taking a bite.
Upon seeing mother start to eat, the children also lifted their chopsticks and began to eat.
“It’s so delicious!”
“I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before!”
The whole family was enjoying the lively al together, eating so much that they were sweating, the sound of chewing, sipping soup and occasional praises filled the dining table.
In a blink of an eye, the plate of Crystal Jelly and the plate of Shredded at Phoenix Egg were empty.
Cai Wei picked up the plate and wanted to cut another piece of Crystal Jelly to serve as a side dish for the children.
Lady Du stopped her, “We rarely have white rice at ho.
Even if we don’t have dishes, the rice will still taste sweet when we eat it dry.
Besides, we still have soup!
Keep the rest of the Crystal Jelly.
Later, divide it into two portions, give one to your Aunt Zhou, and send the other to Third Uncle Mu’s house.”
The Third Uncle Mu that Lady Du ntioned, like Mu Zhongqing, had been selling Mountain goods since June and had not been heard from since.
The only people left at ho were Third Aunt Mu and her fifteen-year-old daughter Cai Lian.
Lady Du was kind and knew that Third Aunt Mu had a hard ti raising her daughter alone, and she was always close to Aunt Zhou.
Therefore, she would rather eat less at ho to let them taste the food too.
Cai Wei agreed with her mother’s decision, nodded, and continued to eat.
At the dining table, even without the main dish, the children were still enjoying their al.
They were eating their white rice heartily, occasionally sipping the milky white bone soup.
By the end of the al, not a single grain of rice, vegetable, or drop of soup was left on the table!
