When the dishes were served, Grandma Mo was shocked to see what was on the table!
The ingredients were quite common. Although resources were scarce these days, these items alone were not enough to startle her. The only thing that surprised her was the honeydew.
Such items were grown too far away and were difficult to transport. Even the capital’s important families seldom managed to obtain more than one or two a year. Where had the girl gotten this from?
Was her grandson already so capable?
Grandma Mo cocked her head and pondered.
No matter what, Grandma Mo was delighted that her granddaughter-in-law was such a good cook.
When all the dishes were ready, Jiang Yiru invited Grandma Mo to eat, and Gu Qingyao sat next to her.
The food looked, smelt and tasted great. Grandma Mo looked at the dishes before her. The ingredients were not that rare, but the food had been meticulously prepared. In the past, she also ate food that was meticulously prepared, but in these difficult times, she did not dare to maintain such a high profile.
So although many of the illustrious families did not worry about their day to day lives, their lives were not so refined. How had this girl been raised?
Were the Gus so refined?
Hehe!
Great!
Great!
Girls from illustrious families were different. She was such a refined girl, her grandson would certainly have a blissful future!
“Grandma, eat while the food is hot!” Gu Qingyao smiled as she served Grandma Mo some food.
Grandma Mo ate a few mouthfuls and could not stop.
Especially the chicken soup. It was exactly to her taste.
When she was done, Grandma Mo felt completely satisfied. She looked at the chicken soup. More than half the soup was left. She thought of her old man at home. He had not tried his granddaughter-in-law’s cooking…
Grandma Mo looked at Gu Qingyao with a smile. “This… Yao Yao! Your cooking is wonderful. I haven’t had such a good meal before! You’re so young, but your cooking skills are outstanding. Your family must have spent a lot of effort to teach you, right?”
Grandma Mo held Gu Qingyao’s hand. The more she looked at the girl, the more pleased she felt.
“You’re such a nice girl. I wonder which jerk will be fortunate enough to have you!”
Gu Qingyao inwardly wanted to laugh. Your eldest grandson of course!
“Grandma, you are too polite. It’s just some simple home-cooked food. Most girls know how to cook these dishes. I’m just glad you like them.”
Most girls do know to cook. But not many can cook as well as you!
Grandma Mo beamed. “This… I’m full now, but Yao Yao! Such wonderful food must be shared, right? You’re so nice to me. Can you… also be nice to my husband?
“This… I… I came out to look for food, but my husband is weak from hunger. He’s waiting for me to bring some food back to save his life! Wu wu wu, we are so pitiful…”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Grandma, you just had the idea of bringing some back for Grandfather Mo but can’t think of an excuse, can you?
Although Gu Qingyao knew the truth, she did not pursue the matter. She said, “Grandma, do you want to bring some back for Grandfather? We’ve already eaten part of this food. Shall I go and cook another few dishes?”
Grandma Mo hurriedly said, “No need, no need, no need to trouble you. This… this chicken soup is quite good. Look, there’s quite a lot left. I’ll just bring some back, all right?
“When I have the money, I will certainly treat you to a meal!”
Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “Grandma, there is no need to stand on ceremony! There is still some chicken soup left in the pot! Let me get a jar, and you can bring it back.”
