Chapter 45 Face Problem (1)

She had thought about breakfast last night. She steamed a pot of soft rice, cut a plate of crystal jelly, and added garlic paste and soy sauce.

She boiled a pot of fragrant bone soup with rabbit bones. The children were growing up and needed nothing but bone soup to nourish themselves.

She also made a plate of shredded pork and scrambled eggs. But today's scrambled eggs would be more delicious than yesterday's because there was an important seasoning today - cumin!

  When she was cooking, she deliberately made more and brought out a portion for the four divine beasts. After the meal was ready, she first sent the portion for the divine beasts into the space, and then she took the food and went into the house to greet her mother and the children!

  "Mom, it's time to eat!"

  She placed the crystal clear crystal jelly and the beautifully presented shredded pork and scrambled eggs on the kang table.

  "Eldest sister, what is this? It smells so good!"

  Wu'er was awakened by the smell of the food. He poked his furry little head out of the quilt, staring at the table with his big eyes blinking.

  Caiwei touched his chick-like head and introduced it gently, "This is crystal jelly, made from pork skin. It is delicious when dipped in soy sauce and minced garlic! There is also this, called shredded pork with phoenix eggs. It costs 80 wen a plate in the restaurant. Do you want to try it, Wuer?"

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Wuer nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He didn't care about the warmth in the quilt. He got up and hurriedly put on his clothes.

  Wen'er also got up. Unlike Wu'er's flustered behavior, he put on his clothes in an orderly manner. His bright eyes looked at the dishes on the table inquiringly, "Sister, how did you come up with these dishes!"

  Caiwei coughed, looked away, and said, "I heard about this in town, so I tried to make it. I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"

  It's not that she is not good at lying, but facing Wen'er's clear eyes, she feels that in front of this pure heart, even a white lie is a sin that is difficult to redeem.

  "Oh, that's it!"

  After listening to Caiwei's explanation, the family did not doubt him, quickly washed up, and sat around the table.

  "Well, it's really delicious!"

  Mother Du tasted it and praised it.

  Mother picked up her chopsticks, and the children also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

  "It's so delicious!"

  "I've never eaten anything so delicious!"

  The family ate and drank lively, eating enthusiastically, sweating profusely, and at the table, only the children's chewing sounds, drinking soup sounds and occasional praises could be heard.

  In an instant, a plate of crystal jelly and a plate of shredded pork and phoenix eggs were empty. Caiwei picked up the plate and wanted to cut another piece of crystal jelly to serve the children with rice.

  Mrs. Du stopped her and said, "We rarely eat white rice at home. Even if there is no dish, the rice is delicious, not to mention there is soup! Keep the remaining crystal jelly and divide it into two portions later. One portion will be given to your Aunt Zhou and the other portion will be sent to your Uncle Mu's house."

  The Uncle Mu mentioned by Mrs. Du is the relative who went out with Mu Zhongqing to sell mountain products. Like Mu Zhongqing, Mu Lao San has not been heard from since he left home in June. Only Aunt Mu and her fifteen-year-old daughter Cailian are left at home.

  Mrs. Du is kind-hearted. She knows that it is difficult for Aunt Mu to live with her daughter alone. She has always been close to Aunt Zhou, so she would rather eat less at home than send some to them.

  Caiwei agreed with her mother's approach, said "hmm", and sat down to continue eating.

  Even though there was no main course on the table, the children still ate with gusto. They ate white rice in big mouthfuls and slurped the milky bone soup from time to time. When the meal was finished, there was not a grain of rice, a bite of vegetable, or a drop of soup left on the table!
