Chapter 218 - [Bonus ]a Hood Menu
Father Lin didn't know that he had given himself? away because of his angry expression. Su Wan who was standing in front of him could see his whitened knuckles as he clenched at the bowl of hot ginger water - this much was enough to let anyone know how much force he was exerting on that little bowl .
" Ah Yan " immediately Su Wan exclaimed interrupting the depressing atmosphere that has descended on top of their heads . She understood that some things were better left unsaid , if Father Lin didn't want them to know about it then he must definitely have his own plans . There was no need for them to harp on the situation and anger Father Lin by making remember of those things that he didn't want to " Why don't you go ahead and brew medicine for little Shuyan ? I think he should drink his medicine before he eats his dinner"
Lin Yan didn't know why Su Wan suddenly changed the topic but seeing his father's darkened face , it was better to let their father speak of the matter on his own instead of them troubling him to speak . So he nodded but just as he stood up to walk out of the room , Father Lin stopped him .
" Its better if I brew Shuyan 's medicine . I was the one responsible for brewing his medicine " Father Lin wasn't boasting , he had indeed become skilled at brewing medicine . At first Qi Bai became sick , then his wife followed his footprints later on Qi Shuyan fell sick , after brewing medicine for so many people it would be impossible for him not to be skilled in brewing medicine.
Thus , he didn't let Lin Yan feel burdened over the job of following steps that were carefully written by Doctor Gu and took the packets from Lin Yan and followed Lin Rui who walked in front of him to show where the kitchen was .
After Father Lin brewed medicine , Qi Shuyan drank his medicine and fell asleep . On the other hand Su Wan gave the little kids the pastries that she had brought from the town . In Su Wan 's opinion the pastries were a little too sweet for her liking but for the kids it was like The New Year has come early . They were so delighted that they hopped around once they ate the pastries .
Even before the disaster it could be considered that their family never had a surplus of food . They couldn't be considered well off? , so forget about eating pastries even sugar was something that they have rarely seen . On their journey they have exchanged everything for their father's and brother's medicine and was left with nothing - so except some leftovers that was given to them as charity they haven't ate anything that could be considered a ' delicacy ' . The food they ate only comprised of rough and coarse buns with vegetables soup that was so watery that they had to dwell deeper than a sea diver to search for a piece of tofu in their bowl of soup. Now that they were eating sweet pastries they were easily satisfied .
Su Wan smiled at their happy faces and then walked back to the kitchen , they had enough money ration to feed their entire family for months . Even with four extra mouth to feed , there wouldn't be a problem thus she decided to cook something good for her Father in law and the three Qi siblings .
" Sister in law will kick some thick and nourishing porridge for Little Shuyan , but sister in law doesn't know what you two like to eat , why don't you guys tell me ?"? She knew that as a sick patient Qi Shuyan couldn't eat anything other than some good nourishing porridge but the two kids were different , they weren't sick and it would be could if they eat something that had meat in eat . They were so thin and malnourished that their complexion was yellow - Su Wan has asked about Qi Mei 's age and was shocked to know that the latter was twelve years old , she looked so thin and small that Su Wan thought she was just nine .
Since , Su Wan was a thirty years old woman by soul it was impossible for her not feel sympathetic towards these little kids . Seeing their pitifully small profiles , her maternal instincts couldn't help but kick in - she wanted to feed these three kids until they were plump and chubby like a the God of fortune .
Little Qi Mei was a little embarrassed and shook her head " sister in law , you don't need? trouble? yourself for us . We can eat porridge with elder brother there is no need to cook something different for us "
" what are you saying Meimei? Exclaimed Lin Chen sounding horrified , he was the last one to know about the kids story but he was the first one to get abnormally close to them . He was already calling them nicknames much to Qi Mei 's embarrassment " you don't know about it but your sister in law's culinary? skills are really good . If you don't eat the food cooked by her then you will seriously regret it "
Lin Chen finished his warning solemnly and seriously as if the food cooked by Su Wan was an imperial delicacy . Su Wan rolled her eyes and slapped the back of his head " alright , alright . You don't need to pressure the kids like this I will still cook something delicious even if they don't tell me "
Su Wan knew how slick and sly Lin Chen can be when the matter was regarding his meals . This third husband of her was really troublesome he actually had no qualms in pressuring little kids to get a good meal to eat . Really !
However , no matter how she scolded Lin Chen she still decided to go all out . She had already taken a look in the kitchen and had seen the swamp eels? that Lin Chen has caught so decided on making some Eel in Red Vinasse and some shrimps were left behind as well since the shrimp porridge was a favourite of Mother Lin - so she could use them to cook some boiled shrimps with salt . Since the kids haven't eaten a proper meal for long it was better for her to cook something delicious yet non greasy so she skipped on cooking something sour and spicy and thought of cooking some rice noodle rolls , and? wonton noodles . As for desert she might as well? cook some Tong Sui !
This menu was good ! Non greasy yet delicious !
