The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 207
207 Woken Up
“My grandmother wants to eat a kind of green ball. Unfortunately, I’ve looked for many people who sell green balls and asked many people who know how to make them, but everyone’s green balls aren’t to my grandmother’s liking. Now that my grandmother is seriously ill, she’s always thinking about the green ball she wants to eat. My grandmother has doted on me since I was young, so I want to fulfill her dream!” Zeng Youliang told the truth.
“Are there any people in the village you live in who are good at making green balls?” Zeng Youliang finally asked.
“Is that what you want me to do?” Li Xiaoran understood something and confirmed.
!!
Zeng Youliang nodded and said solemnly, “Yes! If you can make green balls that my grandmother like to eat, I will definitely repay you!”
“There’s no need to repay me, but I can’t go to White Foothill City!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said awkwardly.
“You don’t need to go. I’ll bring it over for my grandmother when you’re done!” Zeng Youliang said.
Li Xiaoran looked at Zeng Youliang and shook her head.
“Young Master Zeng, don’t forget that a lot of food tastes the best when it’s just out of the pot! Perhaps your grandmother wants to eat green balls that are just out of the pot. If she misses this time, even if you bring back the green ball she’s coveting, she won’t be able to enjoy the taste!”
What a wake-up call!
Zeng Youliang slapped his thigh and stood up.
“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that?!”
With that, Zeng Youliang lowered his head and was about to walk out.
After taking a few steps, Zeng Youliang ran back.
“I won’t accompany you guys for now. I have to rush back to see my grandmother. I’ve paid for the tea and snacks. Eat as much as you want. As for cooking, there’s no hurry. I’ll come to you next time!”
With that, Zeng Youliang ran out.
Li Xiaoran looked at Zeng Youliang and then at Luo Cheng.
“He left just like that?”
“He wanted to fulfill his grandmother’s wish, so he was a little anxious! But it’s understandable!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran nodded and simply took a snack and ate it.
She had to admit, the snack tasted good.
“This is mung bean cake! It tastes just right. It’s not very sweet, but just right!” Li Xiaoran said in satisfaction as she ate.
“If you like it, I’ll buy some more and bring them back!” Luo Cheng wasn’t a stingy person. He saw that Li Xiaoran liked it.
Li Xiaoran thought about it seriously and finally shook her head. “Let’s buy some when we return to the village! Father and Mother have been farming in the village all their lives and have never eaten such delicious snacks. Even my sister, Xiao Qing, rarely eats snacks. Besides, it’s almost the new year. We still have to buy some dry goods, sweets, and snacks.”
If Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything, Luo Cheng would have forgotten about this.
After all, he had lived alone in the past, so he naturally wouldn’t prepare these things.
“Yes, I forgot to prepare melon seeds, peanuts, and candy for the new year!”
“Not only do we have to prepare, but we also have to prepare more! Just you wait! This year, a group of children will definitely come to our house to visit!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said with a smile.
“Children coming to visit?” Luo Cheng didn’t expect this at all. “No one came to my house to visit in the past few years.”
“That’s because you were alone previously and seemed very unapproachable. Who would be willing to come?! Now that we’re married and have interacted with the children in the village, some will naturally come. Little Huzi’s friends will definitely come!” Li Xiaoran reminded.
At this moment, Luo Cheng finally understood what it meant to have a good wife.
There were many things that he didn’t know and didn’t consider. Li Xiaoran would naturally help him consider them.
“I’m not very familiar with the customs here in Sichuan, so I’ll have to trouble you to think about what we have to prepare for the new year,” Luo Cheng said.
“Don’t worry! Even without me, my mother will help! No matter what, this is the first time our family has celebrated a good year. We must celebrate properly!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
After that, after the two of them drank the tea, they took the snacks away.
As soon as she returned to Old Madam Jin’s place, she heard Qiu Tang say that Old Madam Jin had woken up.
Li Xiaoran went to see Old Madam Jin and said that she wanted to cook for her personally, so she brought Luo Cheng to the kitchen.
There were a few women in the kitchen. When they saw Mrs. Su following Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, they naturally stood up respectfully.
“This is the old lady’s granddaughter, Miss Xiaoran, who is also the master of this residence. Now, Miss Xiaoran wants to use the kitchen to make some food. Help her!” Mrs. Su instructed.
The woman and maid in the kitchen nodded respectfully and got busy under Li Xiaoran’s command.
It wasn’t that Li Xiaoran was pretentious, but those ingredients needed to be washed.
Not to mention anything else, just the ingredients of small shrimps alone would take a lot of time and effort to be washed clean.
In order to send lunch to Old Madam Jin as soon as possible, Li Xiaoran asked the women in the kitchen to help.
It had to be said that after the ingredients were processed, they cooked quickly.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran made chicken soup, vegetable porridge, stir-fried chives and shrimp, cold lemon shredded chicken, and tofu stew.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Old Madam Jin felt even hungrier.
After filling a bowl of chicken soup and vegetable porridge, Li Xiaoran placed it in front of Old Madam Jin.
“Grandmother Jin, try this chicken soup and vegetable porridge!”
Old Madam Jin nodded and carefully ate with a spoon.
Old Madam Jin thought that the bowl of chicken soup and vegetable porridge would be very hot, so she carefully scooped a spoonful and ate it.
Unexpectedly, the spoon wasn’t hot at all. The temperature was just right.
The freshness of the chicken soup coupled with the vegetables and the porridge immediately whetted Old Madam Jin’s appetite.
The tofu stew was soft and tasty. When he took a bite, it was filled with juice.
The chives and shrimps tasted good too. Even the lemon shredded chicken was to Old Madam Jin’s liking.
“I really didn’t expect to be such an amazing cook! Previously, I only thought that you were good at making knife-cut noodles. I didn’t expect you to be good at cooking too!” After Old Madam Jin finished a bowl of chicken soup and vegetable porridge, she praised with a smile.
“It’s good that you like it! Take good care of your body. After the new year, the smelly food I promised you will be waiting for you!” Li Xiaoran blinked at Old Madam Jin and said.
