Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm - Chapter 408:
Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Watching Her
With a calm mind, Xiaomai earnestly explained how to make the glutinous rice cake.
She knew what the Grandpa Emperor was really asking, but she could not disclose the secret about the Spiritual Spring water.
All she could do was attribute everything to her cooking skills.
It was her excellent cooking skills that enabled her to make such uniquely fragrant dishes!
Yang Ye, standing next to them, reassured, “Grandpa Emperor, there is nothing special about her method, but her dishes are so extraordinary tasty. Try this fish head tofu soup; it’s delicious.”
Yang Wenxiao nodded, put down his chopsticks, and picked up a small bowl.
Once again, a unique fragrance hit his nostrils, and he took a sip gently with the spoon.
The soup was both fragrant and fresh.
Beneath these two flavors hid a familiar aroma, very light, but impossible to ignore.
“Grandpa Emperor, let me tell you, Xiaomai has this miraculous knack to make any food, regardless of its fat content, taste light and refreshing. After eating, your entire body feels comfortable,” said Yang Ye.
“This is hard to come by. Take the braised pork, for instance. It’s so fatty that I could only eat a piece before. But when she cooks it, I could eat a whole plate without feeling greasy.”
“Exactly,” Yang Wang agreed. “This is what sets Miss Xiaomai apart. Grandpa Emperor, we are not bragging. If you taste everything on this table, you will understand.”
Yang Wenxiao looked amazed and muttered, “Impressive.”
All the dishes were made without adding any special seasoning but with a touch of the same unique aroma on every dish. It was magical.
Too magical.
Xiaomai, with a shy smile, was sitting without moving, her lips slightly pursed.
Seeing this, Yang Wenxiao spoke, “Don’t be nervous, eat.”
Xiaomai smiled again and picked up her chopsticks.
“Grandpa Emperor, try this sea cucumber steamed egg. It tastes really good.”
Yang Wang was energetically recommending dishes to Yang Wenxiao.
Yang Wenxiao looked over and picked up a bowl as shiny as white jade.
The steamed egg was extremely tender. He didn’t need to chew it, but swallow it directly.
The flavor of the sea cucumber was powerful, its original taste combined with the strange fragrance, resulted in an indescribably delicious flavor.
Yang Wenxiao kept feeding himself the sea cucumber steamed egg until it was finished.
“Grandpa Emperor, try this. It’s called Wen’s tofu.” Yang Ye presented a large bowl to Yang Wenxiao. “Look at this tofu; it’s sliced as thin as hair.”
Yang Wenxiao raised his eyebrows, “Impressive.”
Xiaomai continued to smile coyly. She had practiced her chopping skills a lot for this dish.
Then, Yang Ye and Yang Wang took turns serving dishes, urging Yang Wenxiao to taste each one.
Of course, the portion of each dish was not large. By the time Yang Wenxiao had tasted more than a dozen dishes, he was satisfactorily full.
“Alright, you three continue eating. Don’t worry about me anymore.” He waved his hand, his gaze fell on Xiaomai.
He didn’t say anything. He just looked at Xiaomai.
His gaze was so intense that Xiaomai broke into a cold sweat.
Most people of his age, almost ninety, in her impression, seemed old and decrepit, emanating an aura of decay.
But Yang Wenxiao was different.
Despite his white hair and wrinkled face, his eyes were not only clear but also sharp and bright.
Moreover, he was not hunched over, his tall figure had not shrunk much, it was easy to see the vigor of his youth.
Added to his powerful aura formed by being in a high position for so long, all of these greatly pressured Xiaomai.
The combined effect of Yang Ye and Yang Wang was not as powerful as the single gaze from Yang Wenxiao at this moment.
He scrutinized and inquired.
His gaze made her break out into a cold sweat.
