About fifteen minutes later, the fragrant sweet and sour pork ribs were ready. Dinner consisted of white rice, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup.

The aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs whetted the appetites of everyone in the Jiang family. Even the usually reserved Jiang Zhishan couldn't resist this time, and the children practically gnawed at their mouths, stuffing meat into their mouths.

Jiang Ling looked at the children who were silently and frantically eating meat and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She hadn't been neglecting them lately. Although they didn't eat meat every day or at every meal, she made sure they ate meat at least five times a week.

Why do these kids act like they've never seen meat before?

While Jiang Ling was lost in thought for just a short while, the large bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs was already empty. If it weren't for the children's filial piety in putting a few pieces in her bowl, Jiang Ling probably wouldn't have been able to eat a single bite of this sweet and sour pork ribs!

"Big sister, what recipe did you use to make this? It's so delicious! It's even better than the braised pork ribs from Yuchulou in Pingxi County!" Jiang Zhishan said, rubbing her belly and leaning back in her chair with a contented expression.

"It's just ordinary seasoning, it's just a matter of proportions, and the sour taste itself can stimulate the appetite, so that's why you think it tastes good!" Jiang Ling explained patiently.

"But does it really taste that good?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Of course!" The children, including Jiang Zhishan, nodded vigorously.

"Mom! Why don't you open a restaurant in the county town? I think your cooking is amazing!" Jiang Suihe said while clearing away the dishes.

"A restaurant?" Jiang Ling chuckled upon hearing this. This was actually her own thought. After working for so many years, she had always wanted to become a chef and open a restaurant, but her family always thought that being a chef was not a promising career and had given up on Jiang Ling's idea long ago.

But with Jiang Suihe's reminder, a seed of wanting to open a restaurant gradually began to sprout in Jiang Ling's heart.
