Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 240 Mo Hong’s Family Sells Daughter and Gains an Uncle (8)_1

This kind of fun and exciting game was one Zhenzhen didn’t want to get off the Red Python’s back.

Mo Yan could do nothing about the Red Python. Without Spirit Spring Water and chickens and fruits from the Space, it would still come, having such thick skin that neither shooing nor scolding would work, and the recently planted Thorn Forest outside the yard wall couldn’t stop it. After several attempts, he just couldn’t be bothered to deal with it anymore.

In a blink of an eye, Mo Qingze had already been away from home for half a month. On this day, Mo Yan set out early with his siblings to visit their father in town. When they reached the vegetable market street, he let Lizhong wait there with the two younger ones, claiming he was going to the street to buy some fresh vegetables for Mo Qingze.

Once in a secluded spot, he took out the vegetables and cleaned chicken that he had prepared the night before, bought a large piece of spareribs and two palm-sized crucian carp from the street, and then returned to the street corner.

The vegetable garden in the backyard had already been started, but Mo Yan was worried it was too conspicuous and only dared to water it with diluted Spirit Spring Water. The plants were growing nearly as fast as those in the previous greenhouse, but weren’t mature enough yet to be eaten.

Otherwise, she would have directly swapped the garden’s vegetables with those from the Space, which would have saved her the trouble of having to ’buy’ them from the street.

The group arrived at the place where Mo Qingze was staying. Mo Yan used the spare key to open the door, and Lizhong carried in the vegetables and chicken.

"Dad’s place is so small, but it’s very clean," said the two little ones who were visiting for the first time, and Zhenzhen immediately gave the "small, clean" review.

"This isn’t small at all, it’s very good for Dad to live alone. Our room at home wasn’t even as big as this one. Don’t you start looking down on small rooms after living in a big house!"

Xin Er thought it was nice and, worried that her brother would become picky like before when presented with good food and develop a spoiled nature, she reminded him.

"I know, I know!" Zhenzhen muttered a few words and started reading a book. Finding he couldn’t understand it, he put it down again.

The siblings sat on the bed chatting back and forth. Mo Yan began preparing the chicken and spareribs, intending to have lunch ready before the Academy let out so Mo Qingze could eat as soon as he got back.

Lizhong took the basin and vegetables to the communal well outside to wash them.

Chicken was best cooked by stewing to get the most nutrition, and they had plenty of chicken at home. This time, Mo Yan brought some specifically to nourish Mo Qingze’s body. She divided the chicken into two portions, stewed half then, and planned to stew the other half right before leaving, leaving it for her father to have when he came back in the afternoon.

Among the food she brought this time was a lot, including stir-fried wild chestnuts. She also brought some raw chestnuts. The chestnuts on the mountain were ripe now, and Mo Yan simply said she found them in the mountain. No one at home suspected anything. After making chestnut stewed chicken several times, everyone became hooked on it.

After Lizhong finished washing the vegetables, he lit the stove. Guessing that their father would be back from the Academy in less than an hour, Mo Yan placed the stew pot with chicken and chestnuts on the fire.

The chicken from the Space was very tender. Once the water boiled, it only needed to stew for a quarter of an hour to be ready. As the water came to a boil, the house gradually filled with the aroma of chicken and chestnuts, and Mo Yan put the soaked shiitake mushrooms into the pot. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

She had picked up quite a few shiitake mushrooms during her trip to the mountains and later planted some in the Space using the ground cultivation method. Now, they formed a patch, and their aroma was even richer than those sold outside. Only three to five shiitake mushrooms were needed to make the stew pot fragrant.

Then Mo Yan began to cook. Before long, five home-style dishes full of color, fragrance, and flavor came out one after another: steamed spareribs, garlic-flavored greens, braised crucian carp, tomato scrambled eggs, and salt & pepper corn kernels.

As she guessed her father would soon be returning, Mo Yan took off her apron, washed her hands, and brought out the dishes covered with bowl lids, awaiting her father’s return to unveil them for eating.
