Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 830 - 832: The Most Delicious Duck Soup
"Canβt..." ππβ―π¦ππ¦π£πππππ.πβ΄π
Pei Yiningβs eyes were filled with disappointment. Although she had just finished her freshman year, she had joined a small photography group, and they would often go out to find places to take pictures.
"Take more photos, and when we go back to Ningbei, Iβll bring you something delicious." Pei Yicheng gently patted her shoulder, comforting her.
Pei Yining lazily lay on the sofa. Previously, she went out with Xu Nianhua every day to take photos. Although it was exhausting to be out in the sun every day, it was still joyful and fun, with good food too!
"Cake, make sure to tell Nianhua to bring me cake!" Pei Yining looked at him eagerly.
Pei Yicheng got busy and went upstairs to pack.
Pei Yining followed behind Pei Yicheng like a chattering bird.
...
In Gaoliang County, after guessing that Pei Yicheng might come, Xu Nianhua started to prepare, even planning to make the originally planned cake a bit larger. The already sumptuous menu got a few more of her specialty dishes added.
Next morning, as soon as it was light, Xu Nianhua grabbed Xu Nianβan to go to the county market to buy groceries, Gu Mingcheng found it novel and insisted on coming along.
"Little sister, how much food are you planning to buy?" Xu Nianβanβs hands were full, the market was crowded, and the weather felt even more stifling.
He couldnβt understand; itβs Dadβs birthday, having a table full of good food he could comprehend, but the amount of groceries his little sister was buying was just too much!
Itβs midsummer now, and vegetables tend to spoil easily!
"We have a lot of people. If we donβt buy more groceries, it wonβt be enough!" Xu Nianhua would tick off her checklist as she bought groceries, only returning home contentedly after purchasing everything she needed.
Xu Nianβan quietly followed behind Xu Nianhua, playing the role of a porter. He glanced at Gu Mingcheng, who was carrying quite a few things, and felt fortunate he came along; otherwise, he wouldnβt be able to carry everything by himself.
As soon as they got home, Xu Nianhua got busy in the kitchen.
"Nianhua, are you preparing for the New Year?" Ji Ying looked at the pile of groceries and couldnβt help but laugh, recalling how even during the New Year, they wouldnβt have so many meat dishes.
Just from the pig, there were already five or six different cuts, plus beef, a fresh bass, and river prawns. If it werenβt for the limited selection at the county market, Xu Nianhua probably would have bought even more.
"Itβs for Dadβs birthday." Xu Nianhua smiled sweetly. She planned to showcase her culinary skills today, making all her specialty dishes for Dad and Mom to taste.
"Mom, today you all can just relax, and Iβll do the cooking." Xu Nianhua put on an apron.
Ji Ying wanted to join in the busy work, but aside from letting her mother wash some vegetables, Xu Nianhua handled everything else by herself.
Lunch had just finished, and everyone was already looking forward to dinner, as the aroma from the kitchen never ceased.
"Second sister, it smells so good!" Gu Mingcheng took a deep breath. Previously, he had never been in the kitchen, didnβt know how stifling it was, and certainly didnβt know how enticing the kitchenβs food could be.
"Here, the duck soup is almost done. Why donβt you taste it?"
Xu Nianhua first served a bowl of duck soup to Gu Mingcheng. The rich, fragrant duck soup, golden yellow in color, looked extremely delicious.
Ignoring the heat, Gu Mingcheng drank while blowing on it, smacking his lips contentedly, "This is the most delicious duck soup Iβve ever had in my life."
