"How is it, tasty?"
As soon as Li Shi tasted the dish, Wang Yan Ni eagerly asked him from his side.
Li Shi unequivocally gave a thumbs up: "Incredibly delicious, on par with a five-star chef!"
Anyway, the birthday boy has the final say today.
Hearing his praise, Wang Yan Ni chuckled, while Ding Mian on the side bluntly commented, "Your culinary skills are average, dear wife. It's mainly thanks to my mother-in-law's excellent pig's blood meatballs and cured meat. Look at these meatballs, generously filled with premium streaky pork."
Wang Yan Ni glared at him but didn't retaliate, considering his flattery towards her mother indirectly. Instead, she told Li Shi, "My father brought us a big box of this when he visited Tan Zhou last week. We can't finish it, so you can take some when you leave."
Then, she turns to Han Jia and says, "Jia Jia, you can take some too. I've already asked Ding Mian to prepare."
