Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Ye Muyu start eating, Chu Jin did not think too much about it. He did not take the initiative to pick up food for Lin Zhongjin and only explained the taste of each dish one by one.
“Brother Zhongjin, is my mother’s cooking delicious? This meat isn’t greasy at all. It’s soft and fragrant. This chicken has been fried with oil, so it’s very crispy. There’s also a little chili. I wonder if you can eat spicy food.” For Lill Jin, all kinds of cuisines were delicious and he was not picky at all.
When Lin Zhongjin heard this, he thought to himself that the Chu family must be living a good life. Otherwise, why would they be so extravagant as to fry chicken with oil? Even this child could say that the meat was not greasy. It could be seen that they ate a lot daily.
He had been in the temple for a long time, so he naturally knew that many of the adopted disciples led ordinary lives. Other than the rich, none of them could compare to the Chu family.
However, this was not strange. After all, there were scholars at home.
Lin Zhongjin nodded lightly. “They’re delicious.”
It had to be said that the taste of the food was indeed very good. Even if it was a vegetarian dish, it was better than some restaurants.
“Then eat this chicken and this cucumber slice…
In the beginning, he was still in the mood to size up the Chu family’s financial situation. Later on, all his attention was attracted to the food. With Chu Jin’s introduction, he did not suffer any grievances from the beginning to the end and ate very comfortably.
Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the three children were getting along harmoniously. Even Lil’ Jin was no longer keeping his heart sealed.
After lunch, Chu Jin continued to draw in the study.
Chu Ziluo brought Lin Zhongjin to the study to read.
The school had just sent a message saying that they could take a bath in the afternoon and only go to school tomorrow.
It was Teacher Lin who was pestered by the parents for an explanation. He could only go to the county to find other scholars and ask if anyone would come to Xingshui Village to be a teacher.
Therefore, there was no class in the afternoon.
Ye Muyu and Madam Hu made some red bean double-skin milk for the three children as dessert.
Lin Zhongjin was already amazed by the Chu family’s food. Even though he was not hungry, he could not help but want to take a few bites when he saw the food.
“Brother Zhongjin, is it delicious?” Chu Ziluo said with a smile. Without waiting for Lin Zhongjin to answer, her face was full of praise. “My mother’s cooking is delicious. It’s made with milk. It’s dessert. Usually, it’s served in the afternoon. It’s so early today. It must be because my mother wants to entertain you.”
Seeing that she was happy, Lin Zhongjin could not help but be in a good mood. It was undeniable that he felt very good from the beginning to the end when he came to the Chu family.
Perhaps it was because he was with two children younger than him, but he also became a little childish.
“What’s the name of this dessert? How is it made?” Lin Zhongjin spoke a little more.
Chu Ziluo knew that he had asked the right person. Although she had never done it before, she had seen her mother and Madam Hu do it many times, so she knew how to do it.
“Oh, I really know this. First, boil the milk, and then…”
“So that’s how it is. Mrs. Chu is really smart.” Lin Zhongjin could not help but praise.
Chu Ziluo looked at him and smiled. “Brother Zhongjin, you should call me mom ‘Auntie’. It’s weird to call her Madam. You’re only ten years old. In my mother’s eyes, you’re just a child.”
Then I’ll call her ‘Auntie’ from now on.”
“That’s right. That’s more like it.”
Let’s go. Let’s go draw with my brother. We can earn copper coins,” Chu Ziluo said enthusiastically.
Ye Muyu left the study quietly, not bothering the children..
