Capítulo 1884: 098, Sweet Little Happiness_2
After a few people had tidied up the tables and chairs, Tian Hui, a bit tired from strolling around, sat down at the table together with them.
“Lin Yi, there shouldn’t be any danger here. You all don’t have to be so tense, go have so fun over there!”
Lin Yuan glanced at Yin Xing, smiled, and sent the already eager young maids out to play.
Lin Yi, who always wore an icy expression, surprisingly managed a slight smile and gave his thanks.
However, the guards from each household still cooperated well, assigning tasks and taking turns to stand watch, just in case.
Since it was an outing, preparing food by oneself was naturally the most interesting part.
So, after sending the young maids away, Lin Yuan took hold of the food box and placed a few pre-prepared dishes on the table one by one.
“Wow! It slls so good, so good!”
Catching a whiff of the aroma, Xu Muqing was the first to waddle over with her chubby self, her cheeks jiggling adorably as she ran.
Yan Ruchun also opened her food box and gave her a playful look: “Your nose is the sharpest; I just opened the food box, and you already ran over!”
Xu Muqing chuckled, extending her chubby little hands, grabbing a green dumpling to stuff into her mouth while reaching for fried chicken and rice balls with her free hands, mumbling sothing incoherent.
“Alright, alright, I know you love eating. Stop talking, I can’t even understand what you’re saying with your mouth full.”
Yan Ruchun laughed and placed the dishes she had prepared on the table.
When she first opened the food box, no one noticed. But now, placed on the table, people could see that what Yan Ruchun had prepared was quite peculiar; all food was kept in a small jar glazed in black.
She had thoughtfully used a cloth to handle the jar, and Lin Yuan, curious, couldn’t resist touching it. To her surprise, she found the jar warm, even a bit hot.
“This is sothing Mr. Zhuang invented years ago.”
Noticing Lin Yuan’s curiosity, Yan Ruchun began explaining as she opened the jar and served the food onto lovely plates.
“The jar might look unremarkable from the outside, but inside, it’s quite ingenious. It’s layered, with the top for food and the bottom holding a few pieces of charcoal. This way, the als won’t cool down even after two or three hours.”
This thod was indeed developed by Zhuang Kangping, initially inspired by the Forr Emperor!
The Forr Emperor loved Zhuang Kangping’s culinary skills and wanted to bring him into the palace as an Imperial Chef to cook solely for him.
However, Zhuang was quite stubborn and, for various reasons, refused to enter the palace.
And the Forr Emperor, being a very persistent individual, often visited Dong Tian in disguise to dine.
But after all, he was the ruler of a nation, entangled in many significant affairs, sotis unable to sneak away, so he often sent people to bring als from outside the palace.
Thus, to ensure the food-loving Forr Emperor always had hot als, Zhuang Kangping devised this thod.
But after the Forr Emperor passed away, the number of diners at Dong Tian increased, and fewer people thought about taking food ho. So this thod fell by the wayside until this outing with Yan Ruchun, when the jars were rediscovered.
“It truly is a wonderful invention! Mr. Zhuang is indeed a talent!”
Lin Yuan picked up an empty jar, couldn’t help but exclaim. Isn’t this just a basic version of a thermal lunchbox? It’s incredibly useful!
“Yes, indeed a wonderful thing. The dishes that sister-in-law brought are still warm, just like they’re fresh from Drunken Immortal Residence!”
Wei Borong took so food with chopsticks, feeding a bite to the temporarily emptied-mouth Xu Muqing, complinting Yan Ruchun while eating.
Yan Ruchun’s cheeks turned red, and she playfully retorted to her future brother-in-law: “Nonsense, what sister-in-law? Shaless! The n aren’t even here yet, and you two have already started eating, how audacious!”
The two chubby little fellows giggled, without a trace of embarrassnt, continuing to feed each other, and even while eating, they didn’t forget to complint the delicious food everyone brought.
What Yan Ruchun brought were specialty dishes of Drunken Immortal Tower, mainly stir-fried dishes and staples, thanks to the thermal jars, which nicely complented the rice balls and fried chicken that Lin Yuan brought.
Tian Hui, being pregnant, was assisted by Shuishui in setting out her food, consisting of a few snacks made by the kitchen ladies of the General Mansion.
