My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 547 - 185: Live Broadcast Appearance

Fresh pork belly doesn’t need much marinating. It’s sliced into fine strips and poured into golden egg yolks. A large bowl of egg mixture is steamed over water for about ten minutes. As the lid is lifted, amidst the hazy white steam, the golden color mixed with tender green, and the salty aroma rushes forth.

Night was gradually deepening, and the entire Ke Family was quiet, except for some movement in the kitchen where Du Xixi and Ke Lian were. 2569, with its heat-resistant mechanical hand, brought the hibiscus steamed egg to the dining table, and Du Xixi pulled Ke Lian over to the table to enjoy this warm "midnight snack."

Ke Lian has a big appetite, so the portion of hibiscus steamed egg made was generous. Du Xixi had eaten her fill at dinner and didn’t intend to eat right now, so she let Ke Lian sit in front of the hibiscus steamed egg while she sat opposite him.

"Quick, try it," Du Xixi said expectantly, looking at Ke Lian. Ke Lian picked up a spoon in response to her anticipation.

The white soup spoon slid into the steamed egg, and the thick texture sparked Ke Lian’s curiosity about the taste of the hibiscus steamed egg. He slightly tilted the spoon, and a piece of steamed egg fell into it. Ke Lian gently blew on it and slowly brought the spoon to his mouth.

The hibiscus steamed egg had a sprinkle of salt, and the green scallion balanced the egg’s raw taste. Combined with the freshness of the pork belly pieces, it was salty and delicious, smoothly sliding from Ke Lian’s tongue to his throat and then into his stomach, making him feel much better after the rough meals at the Military Department’s canteen.

The hard and soft white rice and the oddly flavored dishes gradually disappeared from Ke Lian’s mind amidst the deliciousness of the hibiscus steamed egg. Perhaps it wasn’t a particularly complex dish, but due to its simplicity, Ke Lian found it inexplicably flavorful.

Ke Lian ate the hibiscus steamed egg voraciously and didn’t feel that his image might suffer in front of Du Xixi. He ate with great pleasure, which in Du Xixi’s eyes brought her a lot of happiness.

She was pregnant again now, and her days of showing off her cooking skills like she did earlier were becoming fewer. Though she couldn’t make elaborate dishes, she could still make some simple ones.

Ke Lian’s fondness for eating was the best response to her feelings.

Because Ke Lian liked the hibiscus steamed egg and it was simple to make, the next morning, Du Xixi made another bowl of hibiscus steamed egg at Ke Lian’s request, allowing him to go to work satisfied.

Du Xixi didn’t accompany Ke Lian to the door because Ke Lian was afraid she’d catch a cold if she went out in the wind. So she only stood inside the house, wrapped in a blanket, watching Ke Lian get into the Hovercar and then watched the car leave the house.

The Mechanical Soldiers were solemnly guarding the gate. Once Ke Lian’s Hovercar left, the soldiers closed the gate again, and Du Xixi calmly looked away and went to sit on the sofa to rest with her eyes closed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She had gotten up late yesterday, but today was up early, roughly at the same time as Ke Lian. However, now that Ke Lian has left, the children and Ke Xing are still sleeping upstairs. Du Xixi had nothing to do alone in the house, and sleepiness gradually crept back.

The winter cold was setting in, with late November approaching. Du Xixi, still somewhat clear-minded, reviewed the course work over the past few months, realizing she had taught the students a lot and perhaps it was time for an internal departmental quiz.

Around 7:30, the children came downstairs led by Ke Xing. They first went to the dining table to have breakfast and then all crowded around Du Xixi to enjoy time with their mother.

"Xixi, are you sure you won’t come with us?" Ke Xing asked after taking two small backpacks from 2569, occasionally checking their contents to ensure nothing was missing, "We’re not going to come back until the afternoon, and you’ll be all alone at home."

Ke Xing always took the two children out for walks and visits. Today they were going to a familiar aristocratic family, which also had a young son. Previously, Yiyi and Er Er had been there, and the three children played very well together.

Du Xixi was aware of this because a mother’s always mindful of her children’s whereabouts. But Du Xixi felt she was naturally lazy, and during rare holidays, she just wanted to relax at home. With Ke Xing and two Mechanical Soldiers accompanying them, Yiyi and Er Er’s safety didn’t require Du Xixi to worry much.

Moreover, since coming to the Star Era, Du Xixi hadn’t had many interactions. Among Ke Xing’s aristocratic family friends, Du Xixi might not even have heard their names. Going along would only mean sitting there and wasting energy talking with strangers, which she found tiring.
