Chapter 515 (2/2)

Li Wentong was really very happy today as he had finally fulfilled his wife’s wish.

It just happened last night.

That day, Li Wentong specially spared an afternoon from his busy schedule. He first called his wife to let her leave their home temporarily with a made-up excuse and then went back home. Then, he entered the kitchen and started to cook busily.

Li Wentong cooked very slowly. It took him about two hours to make the Green Jade Rice Crust. Luckily, he had a good command of the timing. When it was just done, his wife returned.

“Wentong, what did Sister Liu cook? It’s quite fragrant with a little scorched smell.” An amiable female voice came with the sound of the door opening.

Then, a slender and spirited, middle-aged woman with short hair and light make-up walked into the room.

“Ah Hui, Sister Liu isn’t here today. Change your shoes and come taste this.” After he untied the apron and set it down quickly, Li Wentong pointed at the big soup bowl covered with a lid on the table and said.

“What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?” The woman called Ah Hui smiled and said. However, she also quickened the speed of changing shoes as she was also very curious.

“You’ll know why in no time.” It was rare for Li Wentong to not behave calmly and gently, but contrarily appeared a little excited.

“Alright. It’s time. Should I open it, or you do it?” Ah Hui sat beside the dining table and asked with a smile.”

“Of course you open it.” Li Wentong sat across the table and looked at his wife expectantly.

“We have been an old married couple for years. You are still doing this?” Stared at by Li Wentong, Ah Hui blushed slightly. Although she said that with a seemingly angry tone, the smile on her face stated her happiness clearly.

“Hurry up.” Li Wentong didn’t care about that, but just urged her.

With the sound of the porcelains colliding, A Hui removed the lid of the soup bowl. A semi-circle rice crust was upside down and floating in the bowl. It was the Green Jade Rice Crust.

“It’s actually the Green Jade Rice Crust?” While looking at the rice crust and Li Wentong, Ah Hui instantly felt a warmth in her heart. For an instant, she didn’t even know what to say.

That’s right. Li Wentong cooked this dish just for his wife.

Her real name was Zheng Hui. She and Li Wentong were considered to be a couple that went through many difficulties. Ever since Li Wentong first started his career, she had been with him until now.

As for this Green Jade Rice Crust, Li Wentong had once specially brought her to eat it when they were in love in order to please her. At that time, they were still in a small county.

Until now, Zheng Hui could still remember the taste of this dish. It tasted crisp, soft, and sticky while the broth inside was mellow, fragrant, and sweet. It was the first time that she had known the rice crust could be so delicious after being rinsed in the broth.

As their 20th wedding anniversary was coming, Zheng Hui suddenly thought of this dish again and thus wanted to eat it. She just mentioned this matter twice and Li Wentong indeed took her to eat it somewhere.

However, this dish didn’t exist anymore, no matter in the five-star hotels or famous small restaurants along the street. Even if somebody had truly cooked the dish, it was more in name than in reality.

They either carried to them some rice crust and poured some chicken soup inside or made it into Sliced Meat with Rice Crust. Having eaten these types of overrated rice crust several times, even Zheng Hui herself couldn’t bear it and no longer thought of going to eat it.

She was reluctant to go out to look for it even when Li Wentong invited her. Yet, now, this dish was served in front of her.

“Was it cooked by you, Wentong?” Zheng Hui revealed a smile and asked.

“Of course. You can try the taste.” Li Wentong said proudly.

“I remember you could only cook Fried Eggs with Tomatoes. When do you learn to cook this dish?” While inserting complaints in her speech, Zheng Hui, on the contrary, reached out the chopsticks in her hands to pick the rice crust.

“After eating, you’ll know it’s definitely the taste you want.” Li Wentong said full of confidence.
