80: 80 delicious buns
Zhang Jiuying heard it was Dr.
Ye, “What are you going to the hospital for if it’s nothing serious?
Didn’t you say it was nothing major?”
“Well, Xiaofeng is a bit worried, isn’t she?
A check-up will put her mind at ease.”
Back at home, He Ximei brought out a bucket of pig feed and called Su Peng: “Our pigs haven’t eaten all day, hurry up and feed them.
Listen to that noise; they’re oinking non-stop, about to start a revolt.”
Su Peng happily took the bucket with a chuckle and went to feed the pigs.
As soon as Su Peng arrived, the two pigs inside kept pushing against the door, almost as if they were saying if you don’t feed us now, we’ll break the door down.
“You must be hungry, your meal is here.” Su Peng poured the pig feed into the trough, and the two little pigs jostled each other as they ate enthusiastically.
At home, Xiaofeng had absorbed the “Spiritual Mirror Qi” in the car and was feeling very spirited, helping He Ximei pick and wash vegetables.
He Ximei had bought several pounds of pork belly today to make “Mei Cai Kou Rou”.
This dish takes a lot of time, but the taste is absolutely wonderful.
An hour or so later, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.
The aunt next door, smelling the scent, walked into Su Lao’s kitchen: “Fatty, are you having guests today?
You’re cooking such a nice dish.”
You should know that “Mei Cai Kou Rou” is usually prepared only for banquets or during the New Year, or when guests come over.
He Ximei replied with a smile, “Since Dr.
Ye and his friend helped us out today, and they refused to take any car fare, we invited them over for a meal.
Auntie, come over for dinner tonight too.”
“So you’re having guests, I was wondering why your family was so willing to eat meat today.
It’s right to host them since Dr.
Ye and the others played a big part in helping; we won’t join in.
You should thank them properly.” The aunt was about to leave when He Ximei took out a bowl of meat.
“Auntie, I bought extra meat today and made three bowls.
Take one home.” After Su Lao’s incident, the aunt’s family had not been short of eggs.
“Well then, we’ll have a treat tonight too.” The aunt took the bowl of meat without any protest and later returned a bowl of freshly fried peanuts.
“These peanuts were fried this afternoon, they’re great with alcohol.”
When night had completely fallen, a small car slowly entered the village.
Wu Ershun, carrying quite a few things, got out of the car and called out, “Auntie, Cheng and Uncle Liu are here too.”
Hearing that Uncle Liu had arrived, Su Xiaofeng hurried out of the house.
Uncle Liu looked at Su Xiaofeng and waved her over, “Little girl, I heard your family is hosting guests today.
We’ll eat at your place today, and you’ll come over to mine another day.
I’m telling you, you’re going to love the dishes I cook.”
“Yeah, Uncle Liu’s cooking is really delicious.” Ever since eating Uncle Liu’s cooking, nothing else tastes good to Wu Ershun; after just one meal, his palate had become picky.
“I’ve heard Ye Cheng say that if you ever stop practicing medicine one day, you could become a chef.” Su Xiaofeng said with a light laugh.
Uncle Liu glanced at Ye Cheng and let out a cold chuckle.
Okay then, this lad, always silent, but he had to tell the little girl about everything.
“Little girl, whether something tastes good or not, you can’t just listen to what others say.
It’s only good if you find it delicious yourself.” Uncle Liu was not about to give Ye Cheng any face.
“I’ve had Uncle Liu’s steamed buns, they’re the best I’ve ever tasted.” Su Xiaofeng hadn’t expected Uncle Liu to be so playful when not treating patients.
Uncle Liu burst into hearty laughter.
Su Xiaofeng, listening to his laughter, looked at Ye Cheng with questioning eyes, wondering if she said something wrong.
Meanwhile, Uncle Liu had already started teasing Wu Ershun: “Ershun, if you ever find a girl you like, grandpa will steam buns for you to give to the lady, how about that?”
Wu Ershun looked up, his face full of question marks.
What buns, what lady, what did they have to do with him?
