Chapter 91 - Stop New Creations! (2/2)
Sun Zhi’s eyes seemed very fearful of food. He carefully picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in his mouth. He gently bit it with his teeth. The soft and tender meat juices were moving crazily on his taste buds. The chicken skin was crispy, and it was wrapped in the savory taste of the sauce. It was indescribably refreshing!
He immediately widened his eyes and asked, “Can I have a bowl of rice?”
As he spoke, he pulled a stool and sat by the table.
He picked up another piece of tofu and asked, “What’s this?”
Lu Yuxi served him a bowl of rice. “Fried tofu.”
After the tofu was covered with the sauce, it tasted surprisingly good.
Sun Zhi dug into his food like crazy. During this time, because he ate too quickly, he choked on his rice twice. He single-handedly finished half a plate of sliced chicken.
He raised his head and said inaudibly, “This is too delicious!”
“I’ve never eaten anything so delicious in my life!”
“Wu wu wu, what is this made of?”
“So fragrant! So sweet and tender!”
“The white rice is delicious too.”
Xu Le was stunned. This was the first time he had received such a direct feedback. He only said, “Then eat more… Is this enough? I have more ready-made ingredients in the kitchen.”
Sun Zhi did not stand on ceremony. He looked up at the menu and said, “I want Mapo Tofu Rice, braised pork trotters, and rice. Is that okay?”
“Sure.”
Xu Le got up to prepare the food.
Auntie Liu was so shocked that her chopsticks fell onto the table. Looking at her son, who looked like he had been starving for 800 years, she said, “Is it really that good? No, why aren’t you eating at home?”
Sun Zhi ignored her and continued eating until his eyes were brimming with tears. He said with a tone filled with emotions, “It smells so good!”
While Xu Le was cooking, Lu Yuxi went to the kitchen and held her phone, saying, “I finally know why Sun Zhi doesn’t eat. Look, Auntie Liu posted on her WeChat Moments this morning with a caption: ‘A personally cooked meal for my son. Making sure that he is filled with nutrition and energy today.'”
She clicked on the image and leaned forward to show Xu Le.
Xu Le was heating up the oil. He turned his head and looked at the image for a long time. It was a plate with some green and black things that he could not identify.
He asked curiously, “What’s that?”
“I’ll read it to you. Apple cubes stir-fried with vegetables, baby cabbage stir-fried with green grapes, strawberry tomato soup, and one steamed orange.”
“Oh my god.” Lu Yuxi shook her head as she sighed. “I finally know why this child doesn’t eat. Who can eat this?”
Auntie Liu suddenly asked in an aggrieved tone, “Is there a problem with my cooking?”
Lu Yuxi turned around and shrank her neck in embarrassment. This was the first time she had badmouthed someone and was overheard. She did not know how to explain herself.
Xu Le came out to mediate the situation. “Don’t you feel that something is wrong as you were eating?”
“I feel fine eating it. The most important thing is to provide the child with nutrition. Vegetables and fruits has the most abundant vitamin and fibers. It will definitely be good for the child after eating it.”
Xu Le took a deep breath and thought for a long time before he said, “I suggest that you follow the traditional recipes to cook. It’s not a good thing to be too creative..”
