Chapter 45 Face Issues (1)

She had thought about breakfast last night. She steamed a pot of soft rice, cut a plate of crystal jelly, and served it with mashed garlic and soy sauce. She boiled a pot of fragrant bone soup with rabbit skeletons. The children were growing up and had nothing but bone soup to nourish them. 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 cooking, she deliberately made more and brought out a portion of the four beasts. After the meal was ready, she first sent a portion of the 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 excellent-looking 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, and 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, dipped in soy sauce and minced garlic, it's very fragrant! There is also this, called shredded pork phoenix egg, which costs 80 wen a plate in the restaurant. Do you want to try it, Wu'er?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, not caring about the warmth in the quilt, and got up and dressed in a hurry.

Wen'er also got up. Unlike Wu'er's flusteredness, he dressed in an orderly manner, looking at the dishes on the table with a pair of bright eyes, "Sister, how did you think of these dishes!"

Caiwei coughed, looked away, and said: "I heard about this in the 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 clean 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, drinking soup and occasional praise could be heard.

In an instant, a plate of crystal jelly and a plate of shredded pork and phoenix eggs were finished. 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 vegetable, it is still delicious to eat it dry, not to mention that 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 home."

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 15-year-old daughter Cailian are left at home.

Mrs. Du is kind and 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 and send them to try.

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

Although 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 white 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!
