167 Shocking Interspatial Dishes (2)
A refreshing fragrance wafted out from the kitchen, causing Eldest Uncle and the rest to stop in their tracks. They sniffed and asked with a smile, “What’s cooking today? I can smell the fragrance from afar.”
“No, I remember that Second Aunt went to Market Day today, right? Is she back so soon?” Shi Yaoqing asked in confusion.
Eldest Uncle entered the courtyard and saw Gu Qingming eating an apple in the courtyard. He asked, “Mingming, is your Second Aunt back?”
“No!”
“No! Then who’s cooking in the kitchen?” Shi Yaoqing asked curiously.
Among everyone, only his second aunt’s cooking was the best.
“Grandma!” Gu Qingming replied.
“Grandma?” Shi Hangyu said in surprise, “Grandma’s culinary skills are only average. Other than being balanced, the taste is only so-so. Why is it so fragrant now?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Grandma’s only specialty is egg soup. It’s delicious.” Shi Yuxin nodded.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Grandma came out with a bowl of tofu lean meat soup. When she heard Shi Hangyu’s words, she said angrily, “Aiyo, so you’ve always despised Grandma’s cooking. This makes Grandma sad.”
When the three grandsons heard this, they nodded in unison and said, “No, no, we wouldn’t dare!”
Shi Yuxin smiled and said, “Grandma has worked so hard to cook for us. How would we dare to despise her?”
“That’s right. If we didn’t like it, we wouldn’t have eaten so much!”
“Grandma, you’ve worked hard. I’ll definitely eat an extra bowl of rice later!”
“Oh, I can finally tell!” Grandma said with a grumpy smile. “It turns out that you guys didn’t despise my cooking because I worked hard.”
Her three grandchildren were speechless.
That was the truth, but they could not tell the truth.
Then, the three grandchildren expressed unanimously.
“Grandma, to show that I don’t mind your cooking, I’ll definitely eat an extra bowl of rice today.”
“I want another bowl too!”
“Alright, keep talking. Eat another bowl. Hehe, I didn’t cook so much rice. If you want to eat another bowl, steam it yourself!”
Her three grandchildren were speechless.
At this moment, Third Uncle smiled and said, “Haha, it seems that you’ve developed a habit of being picky when you eat Second Aunt’s food. Although Mother’s food can’t compare to Second Sister-in-law’s, it’s not bad. Before Second Sister-in-law entered the family, we ate the food made by your grandmother.”
“Hehe, but we have only eaten Second Aunt’s food since we were young.” The three grandchildren smiled and said.
“Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat,” Grandma said with a smile. “I don’t know who Mingming bought the pumpkin leaves from today. Don’t talk about eating. They smell so fragrant. I think you’ll really have to eat an extra bowl of rice later.”
“Oh, the fragrance we smelled just now, could it be pumpkin leaves?” Shi Yaoqing asked.
“It’s pumpkin leaves!” Grandma Gu said with a smile. “When I smell this fragrance, I want to go to the pot and scoop it up to eat.”
If not for the decades of upbringing that controlled her.
“Oh, right. Your grandfather doesn’t seem to be back yet. Hurry up and call him back,” Grandma instructed her grandchildren.
“There’s no need. We’re back,” Grandpa Shi said loudly. “Aiya, I smelled a fragrance from afar. I thought it wasn’t from our family. I didn’t expect it to really be from our family. Old woman, when did your culinary skills become so good to make such fragrant dishes?”
Everyone was speechless.
The topic of discussion had just been brought up by Grandpa Shi again
Grandma Shi glared at her Grandpa Shi angrily and snorted. “Hehe, so all the food I’ve cooked for you for half my life was boiled water?”
All of them were questioning her cooking skills.
Grandpa Shi was a little puzzled as to why the old woman was angry.
The three grandsons were very perceptive and immediately said, “Aiya, Grandpa, Grandma’s culinary skills have always been good. Especially today, Grandma’s culinary skills have improved explosively. It smells so good. Grandpa, you have to eat half a bowl more later.”
“Why should I eat half a bowl more?” Grandpa Shi was a little puzzled. “Shouldn’t I eat an extra bowl?”
Shi Yuxin said seriously, “Grandpa, if we all eat an extra bowl, I don’t think there’s enough rice in the rice pot.”
Grandpa was speechless. These brats were unfilial.
“Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat! I’ve steamed a lot of rice. No matter how much you eat, two bowls will be enough!” Grandma said angrily.
If rural people wanted to work, they definitely had to steam more rice.
The group quickly washed their hands and ate.
When they arrived at the dining table, it was still the usual nine or ten dishes. It was still grandma-style culinary skills.
However, the only difference was that there was a plate of stir-fried garlic pumpkin leaves. It was emerald green and looked very appetizing.
However, the most unbearable thing was that when one looked at it, waves of fragrance rushed into his nose.
“Oh my, these must be celestial pumpkin leaves. How can it smell so good?”
“Yeah, it’s the fragrance we smell.”
“Ah, it smells too good. I can’t stand it. I want to try it.” Shi Yaoqing didn’t even take his chopsticks. He picked a piece from the plate. “Delicious!”
With that, he eagerly picked up his chopsticks and put them into the bowl.
Grandpa Shi slapped the back of her hand with his chopsticks and said sternly, “Are there still rules? The guests are here, and the elders are here. Let’s eat first. Go, bring us a bowl of soup!”
Shi Yaoqing had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and scoop soup for his grandfather and grandfather.
“I’ll do it myself. Kids, you guys eat!” Grandma Gu said with a smile.
When the elders served the soup, the young people immediately went to scoop the rice and began to eat eagerly.
When they were picking up the pumpkin leaves, they noticed that several elders had already picked them up.
Alright, now everyone’s chopsticks were moving toward the dish.
The chopsticks clinked, adding to the lively atmosphere.
Gu Qingming was speechless.
After tasting the food in the space, the taste was really unforgettable.
This was a spatial dish. There was no trace of pollution or impurities. There was only essence.
The taste was naturally the purest and most primitive.
Perhaps she could consider the little fairy’s suggestion to contract a few acres of land and sell vegetables.
Of course, she still had to experiment a few more times.
A large plate of pumpkin leaves was gone in an instant.
In the end, Shi Yaoqing even licked all the sauce on the empty plate.
Gu Qingming was speechless.
Grandma Shi was speechless. She wondered if it was because of her culinary skills or because of the pumpkin leaves.
Without a doubt, it was the leaves.
Other than the tofu soup, the other dishes had not been touched.
After everyone finished eating the pumpkin leaves, they turned around and ate the other dishes. As they ate, they looked at Grandma Shi’s expression.
Why was this dish so hard to swallow?
