Chapter 79 Unexpected Surprise

time he was much quicker about it.Su Yusheng was like someone who hadn't eaten in three days. After sitting down, he ate everything quickly and a lot, just like a glutton.If he doesn't eat quickly, a...The mother-in-law's question left Fang Jinshu both amused and exasperated.

"No sugar added, just an extra amount of licorice root for a cough suppressant."

"The formula you drank before also contained this herb."

"I'm surprised," Mu said, "Why do I always feel like this medicine tastes much better than the previous ones"

Fang Jinshu hesitated for a moment. She couldn't tell her mother-in-law that she used spring water to boil the medicine, while Zong Yu had previously used unfiltered water with mud and impurities.

"Maybe it's the purified water after filtration, which improved the taste of the medicine" she then shifted her focus to the noodles in water.

Mu nodded, as if accepting the explanation, and then didn't ask any further questions.

She held onto Fang Jinshu's hand, sighing in admiration.

"Ever since you stepped into our home, things have seemed so much better."

"Jinshu, you are truly our lucky star."

"If Jade Lotus hadn't left, things would be much better. We could get back to how we used to be, and save up enough dowry for her marriage."

When it comes to Zong Yulian, Mu's expression becomes noticeably more downcast.

My daughter, who I raised all by myself, left without a word.

Fang Jinshi recalled the fierce expressions of Zong Yu and Zong Bai when they left just now, feeling that this marriage between Zong Yulian and her cousin probably wouldn't work out.

She will eventually go home.

Then she comforted Mother Mu, “Mother, don’t worry, Yulian will be back.”

Mu Shi knew her daughter-in-law was comforting her, so she just smiled and patted her hand without saying a word. Then she continued to busy herself with the embroidery in her hands.

At noon, Fang Jinshi was happily wandering around the Zong family's house when she found a bamboo shoot.

Then she continued to search around, the bamboo shoots were all growing in clumps, it was impossible for only one to grow.

She searched for a while, and as expected, she found several more tender bamboo shoots.

The area around Zongyu's home was originally a bamboo forest, but unfortunately, after the drought, the villagers secretly cut down all the bamboo.

When they were at home, it was natural that they wouldn't dare come. But he had to go out hunting during the day, and it was difficult to stay at home all the time.

Most bamboo harvested is used by villagers as food or water containers. During the recent drought, every household was storing water.

When the water tank is full, use something else to store it. I don't know if someone saw that and used bamboo tubes to collect and store water.

The incident that tarnished the reputation of Zong Yu's home led to misfortune for this patch of bamboo forest behind his residence.

This means even the bamboo above ground would be clear, but no one would notice the bamboo shoots underground. In the end, it would be Fang Jinshiu who got lucky and picked up a bargain.

She took out the preserved cured pork that Zongyu had prepared, rinsed it clean, and steamed it in a pot of water for a while. When the meat was soft enough to cut, she took it out.

Cut the meat into slices, and the tender parts of bamboo shoots should also be cut thinly.

The sliced meat was stir-fried until fragrant in oil, followed by bamboo shoots. Even without garlic, chili peppers or other seasonings, the dish was incredibly aromatic. Fang Jinshi’s mouth watered as she stirred and cooked.

During her stay at the Zong family's, she had only properly cooked one breakfast. In fact, Fang Jinshu quite enjoyed delicious food.

People who love to eat naturally won't have bad cooking skills, they brush up on food videos every day, and they'll learn by watching.

After stir-frying a dish, she simply made a chicken egg soup. Mu shi needed food that was easy to digest and nutritious. Finally, she seasoned some wild vegetables with vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt.

This lunch is now ready.

Considering that Zong Bai might come back for lunch, she made a larger portion of the dishes so that there would be leftovers for dinner if they couldn't finish everything.

Staple food should still be porridge or congee, so that the grain can last for more days.

After the dishes were served, Mu saw that they were so plentiful and abundant, she almost thought she had misseen.

"This, all of this is yours doing" she looked at Fang Jinshu and asked.

"Yes, Mother, come try my cooking!" She eagerly gave Mu a serving of bamboo shoot and meat stir-fry.

Mu shi finished eating and excitedly nodded, "Delicious!"

Looking at Fang Jinshu's eyes, his love deepened, "I didn't expect that my Jinshu is so good at cooking."

"It's so delicious, what dish is this It's really nice to eat something crispy."

Fang Jinshi was a little puzzled. Didn't the Mu family ever eat bamboo shoots They grew right behind their house.

"Mother, this is bamboo shoot, I dug it up behind the house. Have you never eaten it before"

Mu was a little surprised, “So those bamboo shoots can be eaten”

Suddenly, an unexpected guest arrived at the door.

"Mu Yunhe! You little wretch, didn't you say you were so poor you couldn't even afford a single copper coin You're secretly eating meat at home!"

The Liu family came to inquire about Fang Jinshi's dealings with her grandson. She pondered it over and over, always feeling that this girl was rather strange, wanting to find a reason to confront her. If she could also take the opportunity to extort something back, that would be even better.

Unexpectedly, a whiff of fragrant, almost deathly delicious food hit her nose. Liusha’s saliva threatened to spill over, and she rushed into the main courtyard like the wind.more and more mysterious."Alright, I'm finished with what I wanted to say. I won't disturb your rest.""Girl, the recipe you gave me really works, thank you so much."After bidding farewell to the plum...
