Chapter 375: Only Knows How to Eat
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Upon seeing Zhou Lan’s expression, Jiang Chuan knew that her curiosity, often fueled by reading novels, was once again ignited.
Jiang Chuan gave Zhou Lan a meaningful glance, “Dear, could you please not get so excited? Right now, someone is trying to whisk away our daughter!”
Zhou Lan glared at Jiang Chuan, “What do you know? This is a high-quality young man! Look how handsome little Shen is, with a good personality, warm-hearted, and capable. Isn’t he just the perfect male protagonist material?”
Jiang Chuan was speechless, “I know you’re a face-judger, but I didn’t expect you to be this way when it comes to our daughter picking a son-in-law!”
Zhou Lan countered, “If you hadn’t been good-looking back then, how could I have been swayed to choose you?”
Jiang Chuan admitted proudly, “That’s true.”
Without mentioning anything else, just think back to when Jiang Chuan was young. His good looks stood out in any crowd. Standing at six feet tall, dressed in the latest fashion, holding a bunch of flowers every day at the bottom of Zhou Lan’s martial arts class for children—who wouldn’t be moved?
As the two parents were engaged in an intense exchange of looks, the female protagonist, who had sparked their heated debate, was completely unaware, focused intently on the braised pork ribs in front of her. She couldn’t help but praise the taste, indicating a real talent for cooking. Perhaps next time she could try making pork rib soup or fried sweet and sour pork?
Speaking of fried sweet and sour pork, with its crispy crust enveloping the sweet and tangy sauce, just thinking about the juice bursting in one’s mouth was enough to make anyone salivate!
Indeed, the self-love and love for food seemed to be hereditary traits in the Jiang family.
Seeing the look on Jiang Xia’s face, Zhou Lan was speechless. How did she give birth to such a foodie daughter? So smart, yet so clueless when it comes to matters of the heart. Poor little Shen, it seems his journey to win his wife’s affection is long and arduous!
While Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan each talked about their own topics, Jiang Xia’s mind was filled with thoughts of recipes, and Jiang Gu was silent, focusing solely on his meal. Not a single person in this family initiated conversation.
However, Tian Zao and Shen Mo didn’t find it awkward because they too were immersed in savoring the delicious dishes made by Jiang Xia.
Despite their unappealing appearance and unevenly chopped sizes, the dishes were truly tasty!
It was unexpected that someone as young as Jiang Xia could cook so deliciously, a true testament to having inherited Zhou Lan’s culinary skills.
Tian Zao and Shen Mo had never thought that the discarded ribs, frowned upon by others, could taste so good that one would crave another piece after finishing one.
Seeing everyone enjoy the meal so thoroughly gave Jiang Xia a strong sense of accomplishment, validating her culinary skills. Aside from her lackluster chopping skills, she found nothing difficult about cooking.
Jiang Xia glanced at the small bowl designated for bones, now piled into a small hill, and felt relieved that she had fried all the ribs. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been enough for dinner.
Jiang Gu glanced at the dwindling supply of braised pork ribs on the plate and hurried her eating pace.
This was the first time Jiang Gu had tasted such delicious braised pork ribs, and she hadn’t had her fill before they were almost gone. This would not do! After all, it was meat, and if it was all eaten by others, she would have none left!
In modern times, such a thought would certainly earn a child a lecture from their parents about not being petty. But it’s not Jiang Gu’s fault.
In those days, food was scarce, and even adults would be petty over such things, let alone a child faced with their favorite food?
Jiang Xia thought Jiang Gu must have been starving from waiting too long and gently patted Jiang Gu’s back, “Eat slowly, don’t choke.”
Jiang Xia’s comment actually led to Jiang Gu choking on a rice grain, forcing herself to swallow the meat before she started coughing. Jiang Xia quickly handed her a glass of water to help her catch her breath.
Amidst the commotion, Tian Zao suddenly remembered she had come to the Jiang’s home for an important matter.
She swallowed a piece of braised pork rib, placed the bone in her bowl, and turned to Jiang Chuan to explain the latest arrangements, “Previously, the work points for laboring in the fields were all recorded by the village chief. Now, the chief has passed this responsibility to Xiao Wu. Tomorrow, you should go and hand over the work with Xiao Wu. From now on, the villagers’ work points will be accounted for by the commune’s accountant and recorded in the books..
