Chapter 282: Chapter 186: Super Simple Corn Soup Recipe! Master’s Gift! Wipe Them Out! [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_2
"Wow! How beautiful!"
The golden-yellow soup was dotted with a few red goji berries. The mix of gold and bright red made it very eye-catching.
The aroma of milk and corn wafting from it made this soup even more tempting.
"Would you like to taste it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be delicious!"
Lin Xu took a small soup bowl, filled it more than halfway for Shen Baobao, then transferred the rest of the soup from the pot into a serving basin and carried it outside.
"Dad, Mom, try the corn soup I made."
Both dads and both moms turned their heads to look at the corn soup Lin Xu had made and couldn’t help but praise it:
"Ayo, the color’s so bright and golden; just looking at it, you can tell it’s tasty."
"And it smells milky, too."
"Good job, Lin Xu, hurry up and sit down to keep eating."
"Right, sit and eat. Let Yueyue eat her fill and then she can go play with Dundun; don’t delay your meal."
Shen Jiayue: ?????
Am I that expendable?
Maybe I should just change my name to Shen Expendable then!
She took a sip of the soup from her bowl.
Mmm, sweet and fragrant.
Delicious!
Lin Xu sat down. He first served both his mother and mother-in-law bowls of old hen soup. Then, he served himself a bowl of fish ball soup his mother had made. While sipping, he pondered the Superior Knife Skills’ Skill Task.
This Skill Task had already been completed before making the corn soup.
Praise from both sets of parents and Shen Baobao easily gathered five people’s compliments.
He was just curious. If failing to complete the Skill Task caused his Knife Skills to be downgraded, would the Superior Steamed Rice Flour Silver Strips also be downgraded?
If so, would the system take this corn soup away?
Unfortunately, the system didn’t answer such questions. Otherwise, he definitely would have pressed for clarification.
He scooped a fish ball with his spoon and chewed it gently.
The texture of the fish ball was nice.
The Fish Mince was scraped clean and beaten in a bowl to develop its stickiness before cooking.
After boiling, he turned off the heat. Then he added shredded seaweed and shrimp skin, along with half a spoon of lard and a pinch of coriander. The savory flavor and smooth texture made it impossible to stop eating after the first bite.
"Mmm, this chicken soup is truly savory. Did you pick those Mushrooms in the mountains?"
"Yes, they’re from the mountains. Next time you have a chance to go, I’ll take you picking. There’s plenty in the mountains. In autumn, you can collect wild chestnuts from the mountains to make jelly. It’s tastier than the kind made with mung beans."
Han Shuzhen sipped her chicken soup while chatting with Chen Meijuan.
Just the idea of jelly made from wild chestnuts piqued the interest of the chief of gastrointestinal medicine.
Chestnuts are so delicious when stir-fried; jelly made with them must be even more delectable, right?
Definitely worth staying in the scenic area for some time to enjoy the mountain delicacies.
After enjoying a bowl of chicken soup, the two mothers also tasted the corn soup Lin Xu had made.
As always, it tasted great.
The hint of milk blended with the sweet corn aroma was comforting to smell.
A small spoonful slid smoothly into the mouth.
Chopped corn kernels added a slight crunch, giving the soup an added freshness. The sweetness wasn’t overpowering, making everything just right.
"It’s tasty. The corn’s sweet flavor is so rich. How did you manage to do that?"
Shen Baobao, who was sitting on the couch sipping soup, said,
"You don’t know this, Mrs. Shen? Just add a pinch of salt to the corn soup and the sweetness of the corn becomes even richer. That’s a piece of knowledge for you."
Han Shuzhen: "..."
I really regret not spanking this girl more when she was younger. It’s led her to turn out so twisted.
Should I coax her by saying that in Beijing there’s a custom of spanking daughters before they get engaged?
Forget it, my son-in-law wouldn’t like that. For my son-in-law’s sake, I won’t stoop to this brat’s level.
Shen Baobao was sitting on the couch, posting pictures of today’s lunch in a group chat, tagging Chen Yan with each photo:
"This is wild Mushroom and hen soup my mother-in-law simmered. Do you want to taste it, Yan Bao?"
"This is fish ball soup, handmade Fish Balls, the kind without gelatin."
"This is braised Carp, it’s my mother-in-law’s signature dish. I didn’t get enough yesterday, so we had it again today."
"This is Steamed Rice Flour Silver Strips made by my dear Lin Xu. Guess what ingredients we used?"
"..."
「In Building One of the Fishing Platform.」
Chen Yan saw the messages in the group chat and became infuriated.
You’re enjoying good food and now you’re flaunting it in the group chat. Flaunt all you want, but why do you keep tagging me?
Before, you would flaunt your relationship in front of me, torturing me with your affection.
Now, it seems, you’ve moved it online.
AAAAH, I need to fight back! I need to make this brat suffer too!
But how should I strike back?
I haven’t even had lunch yet, so how can I flaunt it?
I could go to the restaurant in Building One, but those dishes won’t provoke my cousin. What really moves her are the unusual homemade dishes.
Chen Yan’s mind was spinning rapidly, considering ways to retaliate.
Her fingers inadvertently slid across the screen.
Soon, she saw Geng Lele’s profile picture.
Maybe I should ask Lele?
Yes, that girl is clever and has tons of tricks up her sleeve. She might have been enticed by the dishes too, so why not join forces with her to strike back at my cousin.
Thinking about Geng Lele’s usual silliness and the funny things she says, Chen Yan decided to send her what seemed like a nonsensical message:
"The Earth is in its most dangerous time right now!"
"?"
「Haidian High School.」
Geng Lele, who was eating Shengjian Buns, slowly typed out a question mark.
