Seeing Lin Xue and her older sister eating happily without saying a word, Mo Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

The older sister smiled and nodded emphatically, indicating her great satisfaction. These fried mushrooms were indeed delicious, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Lin Xue's eyes were practically squinting as she ate. She savored the food, then grabbed another piece and popped it into her mouth, greedily finishing it before licking the grease off her lips with her adorable tongue. Finally, she gave Mo Yuan a thumbs-up and praised, "Mo Yuan, this is so delicious! How did you come up with this? It's so good, Da Ya and Er Dan will definitely love it! We can have it as a snack for them!"

When Mo Hongying heard Lin Xue mention her children, she wanted to share the delicious food with them as soon as possible, but she couldn't help but remind them, "It's delicious, but it uses a lot of oil. It's too extravagant to give it to the children as a snack!"

Mo Yuan and Lin Xue looked at each other, smiled, and then burst into laughter.

"Sis, what are you saying? We can make it anytime we want to eat it, and we don't need to worry about wasting oil. Besides, you'll be starting to earn money soon, so you won't think it's expensive then!" Mo Yuan comforted her.

Mo Yuan's words made the older sister realize that she had been used to poverty and hadn't adapted yet, still judging the family's current situation with old perspectives. Yes, the family now had meat at almost every meal; they were long past the stage of worrying about wasting oil on food.

With a chuckle, she realized she had overthought things. Seeing her older sister's expression, Mo Yuan quickly added, "Don't worry, sister. In the future, Daya and Erdan will definitely have better conditions. You have the ability to give them a good life. This time, once the mushrooms are harvested and delivered to the county, you can just wait to count the money!"

Lin Xue smiled and chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Big sister is the best! Congratulations, big sister!"

The eldest sister, Mo Hongying, blushed from the young couple's constant flattery and hurriedly left with her plate in a flustered manner.

"I'll go take it to Dad and the others first, so they can have some drinks. Stop being so talkative and keep cooking. We can't just have this one dish, can we?"

Mo Yuan smiled and nodded, watching his eldest sister's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that his eldest sister had always been a hardworking and kind person, but because of the family's poverty, she was always overly frugal.

This incident made her unconsciously compare her life to her past, but the reality was no longer the same, and her family's standard of living had improved a lot.

Mo Yuan believes that as time goes by, his eldest sister will gradually change her mindset and enjoy a better life. As for himself, it is more important to work hard so that his family can live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Watching their older sister's departing figure, Mo Yuan and Lin Xue exchanged a glance, a smug smile spreading across their faces. However, just then, Mo Yuan suddenly brought his face close to Lin Xue's, startling her and causing her to quickly back away. She said nervously, "Oh dear, what are you doing in broad daylight? And our older sister might be back soon! Don't do anything rash, I'm warning you!"

Mo Yuan ignored Lin Xue's warning and reached out to hug her. Lin Xue exclaimed anxiously, "Hey, your hands are all oily, don't move around! Honestly, you don't know how to behave yourself."

Mo Yuan didn't stop what he was doing, but continued to approach Lin Xue. Lin Xue sighed helplessly, muttering to herself why this man was in such a hurry. Just then, Mo Yuan suddenly kissed her, catching Lin Xue off guard. Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh dear, what are you doing! It's broad daylight, it's so embarrassing." Lin Xue said, trying to push Mo Yuan away, but Mo Yuan held her tightly and wouldn't let go.

Mo Yuan's kiss made Lin Xue feel both shy and excited. Her initial resistance gradually disappeared, and her body began to soften. Mo Yuan sensed the change in Lin Xue and knew that she had accepted his affectionate behavior, so he enjoyed the intimate contact even more unrestrainedly.

After a long while, Lin Xue finally broke free from Mo Yuan's embrace. Her face was flushed, and she was panting heavily. She said shyly, "Okay, let me go. It would be so embarrassing if my older sister came back and saw us like this. Go and cook!" After saying that, Lin Xue hurriedly left the kitchen, leaving Mo Yuan alone there, savoring the moment.

Mo Yuan watched Lin Xue's departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. He savored the intimate moment he had just shared with Lin Xue, his heart filled with happiness and contentment. Although he was somewhat reluctant to part, he knew now was not the time; he should focus on preparing the meal first.

After all, his older sister was right; cooking only one dish was indeed a bit monotonous. Next, he needed to think carefully about how to make more delicious dishes with mushrooms.

With no one in the kitchen, Mo Yuan focused intently, putting aside other thoughts and seriously considering what he could make with the available ingredients. He carefully observed the ingredients, his mind filled with various cooking methods and flavor combinations.

After some thought, he decided to make full use of these fresh mushrooms to create several delicious dishes.

Mo Yuan skillfully picked up the spatula and began cooking. He first washed and tore the mushrooms, then stir-fried the pork in the pot until it was fragrant and changed color. He then added appropriate seasonings and spices, and slowly simmered it to create a rich aroma. After adding the mushrooms, which absorbed the meat juices, the aroma was irresistible.

Next, he sliced ​​another portion of the mushrooms thinly, stir-fried them quickly in hot oil, and added green peppers, which preserved their tender texture while bringing out the mushroom's delicate aroma. Finally, he used the remaining mushrooms to make a delicious mushroom soup.
