Luo Zhentian had been fidgeting and scratching his head for a long time. It wasn’t because he was hungry, but because he was so excited because his granddaughter-in-law was cooking for him for the first time!

After Luo Wenyuan and Qingshan had arranged the food one by one, Luo Zhentian quickly took out the half jar of bamboo leaf wine left over from lunch and only filled himself a glass. Alcohol can make people lose their minds, so Wenyuan, the little bastard, should not drink any more!

Luo Zhentian looked at the table full of delicious food and felt very happy. He felt a little dizzy even before drinking any alcohol.

"Haha, Qingshan, why are you cooking so many dishes? It's so tiring!"

"They're all home-cooked dishes, no effort required! Grandpa, try them and see if they suit your taste!"

Qingshan prepared several dishes: stir-fried bamboo shoots, lotus root salad, celery and gluten stir-fry, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, ginseng, astragalus, and winter melon soup, and a yam, poria, and red date puree. The staple was bamboo rice. Of this table of food, only the rice, eggs, gluten, and seasonings came from the Luo family kitchen; the rest was entirely from the space, not only delicious but also rich in spiritual energy.

As the saying goes, "Food supplements are worse than medicine supplements." The meals made by Qingshan are more healthy than medicinal meals. They are carefully balanced with the five flavors to prevent diseases and strengthen the body, so there is no need to deliberately reduce salt and oil.

"Okay, okay, let me try the cooking of my granddaughter-in-law, Qingshan!"

Luo Zhentian: …Oh my god, I almost slurred my words out of excitement! (p′︵‵.)

Luo Zhentian picked up a piece of lotus root and put it in his mouth to chew. The lotus root in the space had a crisp texture, sweet taste without residue, and was mixed with aged vinegar, sugar, and pepper oil. It was spicy, sour, sweet, and refreshing, and it stimulated the appetite.

Luo Zhentian had already made up his mind. Even if Qingshan's dishes were unpalatable, he would still eat them all. After all, it was his grandson's daughter-in-law's filial piety, and he couldn't let the child suffer. But he didn't expect Qingshan's dishes to be so delicious. Even at the state banquet, the old man had never tasted such delicious cold dishes. He picked up the food quickly, scooping several pieces into his mouth and nodding frequently.

Not to mention Luo Zhentian was surprised, even Luo Wenyuan didn't expect Qingshan's dishes to be so delicious. He usually doesn't like to eat vegetables, and when he heard Qingshan say that he wanted to make "vegetarian food" today, he felt a little disappointed, but now all of it was replaced by surprise. If vegetables can be so delicious, then he is willing to give up eating meat and eat vegetables every day!

Qingshan took a bamboo tube and removed the stopper at the opening of the tube. A rich aroma of rice wafted out, making people's mouths water.

Luo Zhentian finally put down his chopsticks. Half of the lotus root slices in front of him were gone. The old man raised his head and stared at the bamboo tube in Qingshan's hand with shining eyes.

"Qingshan, what is this?"

Qingshan's hands kept moving. He used his fingers to split the bamboo tube into two halves along the opening, revealing the crystal clear rice grains inside that had been dyed green.

"It's bamboo rice. Grandpa, don't just eat the lotus root, there are other dishes!"

After saying that, Qingshan gave half of the bamboo tube to Luo Wenyuan and Luo Zhentian respectively, took another tube for Yin'er, and finally picked out a small one for himself.

The rice in the bamboo tube is a mixture of regular and glutinous rice. After steaming, it remains soft, sticky, and delicious, fragrant and flavorful, with a delicate bamboo aroma. The pale green rice is interspersed with yellow egg skin, red goji berries, and white lily bulbs, creating a vibrant color that, if not for the aroma, would be mistaken for a work of art.

Luo Zhentian picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful and put it into his mouth. Looking at the expression of enjoyment on his face, he knew that the bamboo tube rice must taste good.

Luo Wenyuan also took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Authentic bamboo tube rice would be filled with wild boar meat, partridge meat and other game to enhance the flavor, but the all-vegetarian bamboo tube rice made by Qingshan was surprisingly fresh and fragrant, leaving a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks. It was absolutely amazing!

"Delicious! Qingshan, why is this bamboo tube so emerald green? And this lotus root tastes crispy, sweet, and delicious. It must be fresh lotus root, but I remember the kitchen didn't buy any lotus root these days. Where did this come from...?"

Qingshan's hand trembled, and the rice in the spoon almost spilled:

I was so busy cooking that I forgot it was winter, and things like bamboo shoots and lotus roots were rare. Also, Jade Bamboo wasn't ordinary; even if I put it in a fire, it wouldn't turn brown like regular bamboo. How could I explain this to them? Oh no!
