Chapter 633: How Stinky! 1 (2/2)

Wenlan stared with her mouth slightly agape at Chu Lian’s familiar actions.

She had thought that Chu Lian had just been kidding. Who could have expected that Third Young Madam would really use that disgusting stinky tofu as a dish? Somehow, it even looked good after plating…

For some reason, the strange smell billowing towards her gave her the urge to have a taste…

Chu Lian didn’t have any spare time to care about what Wenlan was thinking. She took up a clean pair of chopsticks and hurriedly picked up a piece of tofu. Then, she blew on it to cool it down before placing it into her mouth.

The unique fragrance of stinky tofu spread across her taste buds. The moment she bit into it, the combination of the gentle taste of the tofu, the crispy exterior, the saltiness of the seasoning, the oil, as well as the spiciness of the chilli paste, brought a whole new kind of experience to her. That kind of taste could make anyone hooked by the first bite and leave them wanting for more.

Chu Lian chewed happily with her cheeks slightly puffed like a hamster. The satisfaction of finally tasting her long-awaited craving made her eyes narrow with pleasure.

Sometimes, it was clear whether someone enjoyed eating something just from their expressions alone.

Chu Lian’s expression right now showed exactly how much she was enjoying and savouring her food.

Since she was already used to the modern world’s standard of food, Chu Lian had always maintained a calm and normal expression while teaching the maidservants how to cook.

Although the maidservants always exclaimed that the new dishes that Chu Lian had introduced to them were peerless, Chu Lian had never shown any particular reaction while tasting them.

It made them feel as if Chu Lian had grown up eating such exquisite dishes all day.

The handmaids serving Chu Lian always had a minor sense of defeat upon seeing their madam’s calm.

Thus, it was rare for them to see Third Young Madam’s expression full of satisfaction and nostalgia while eating.

Sometimes, the familiar taste of a certain dish could indeed evoke the joyful memories of the past.

Stinky tofu was one such dish for Chu Lian.

Once a single piece of stinky tofu had vanished down her gut, Chu Lian let out a small sigh of satisfaction.

Wenlan couldn’t help gulping down her drool while watching Chu Lian eat.

She thought she must have been possessed. She hadn’t even liked the smell of that black tofu earlier, so why did she suddenly have the urge to taste it?

“Third… Third Young Madam, what does it taste like?”

Chu Lian gestured towards the stove next to her with a curve of her lips. “Won’t you know if you taste it yourself?”
