Chapter 640: I really want to help



Shen Yizhi couldn't help drooling just by listening to Shen's description.

I had a big bowl of porridge and a big meat bun in the morning.

But she is a child now, still growing up, so it is normal for her to get hungry quickly, right? It is definitely not because she is greedy! When the marinade was finally ready, Shen Xing put the big bones in to marinate. At this time, the firewood in the stove was almost burned, but he did not let Shen Yizhi add more firewood.

Just throw in a handful of wood chips to keep the fire going, and simmer it slowly over a low heat.

In the evening, Su Chaiyu came back from a medical visit and smelled a tempting fragrance from a distance. After sniffing carefully, he found that it was coming from the Shen family.

After putting down the medicine box, he changed into a royal blue robe, put on a lilac purse that looked a little old, adjusted his appearance in front of the mirror, and then paid the visit.

Shen Yizhi opened the door for him, "Uncle Su, my mother just asked me to invite you over."

Su Chaiyu handed her a bag of pea yellow and was delighted when he heard it. "Really?"

This is really rare!

Shen Yizhi walked around him, approached him and said, "Uncle Su, you look very handsome today."

"Ahem, is that so?"

He subconsciously looked towards Shen in the room.

My heart skipped a beat when I met her gentle and soft gaze.

Shen Yizi saw that the tips of his ears had turned red and laughed to himself. In ancient times, Uncle Su's age was already quite old, and some were even grandfathers.

He is so innocent.

Oh, I really want to give you an assist.

However, Shen Yizi still suppressed this impulse. As a child, she should not get involved in other people's affairs, lest she end up making things worse.

Judging from my mother's expression, she seems more grateful to Uncle Su.

Besides, her mother is still ill and she deliberately avoids interacting with her and Xiao Xingxing on weekdays, let alone accepting another person.

The reason why she has not accepted Uncle Su is probably because she is afraid of causing trouble for him, right? But now that she has tuberculosis, I believe her illness will soon be relieved! Su Chaiyu took Shen Yizhi in and handed a bag of scented tea to Shen, "This is the apricot ginseng tea I prepared. Drinking it regularly can help clear away heat and detoxify, moisten the lungs and relieve cough. Xin Niang, you keep it."

Shen took it and said, "Thank you very much."

"Between you and me, why should I say thank you?"

Su Chaiyu felt something was wrong as soon as he said this, but he couldn't help but have a little hope in his heart. However, when he saw her indifferent expression and flat reaction, he was soon disappointed.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh after seeing this, "I'll go help Xiao Xingxing."

He ran into the kitchen with his short legs, leaving space for Shen and Su Chaiyu.

"The meal is ready, Zhizhi, bring this dish out." Chef Shen Xing handed her a plate of spinach and fried shrimps.

Shen Yizhi held the dishes in both hands and stepped over the threshold which was a bit high for her now. Su Chaiyu hurriedly stepped forward to take them and praised her: "Zhizhi is really capable."

Shen Yizhi accepted it calmly.

But she couldn't carry the other dishes because they were too heavy.

If she fell accidentally, she would be heartbroken.

After all, it’s all meat!

Steamed pork with rice flour, braised carp, steamed egg with minced meat, large bones in marinated sauce, shiitake mushroom and pigeon soup, plus a dish of spinach and fried dried shrimps.

There were six dishes filling the table.

Shen said, "Xiaoxing, put these large bones in a big bowl and send some to the neighbors on both sides. We will have to deal with each other often in the future, so say hello to them first."

"Okay, mother." Although Shen Xing had been used to being poor since childhood, he did not develop a stingy character under Shen's teaching. Hearing this, he quickly filled a large bowl with bones, covered it with a clean handkerchief, and walked out with it.

Shen Yizi, on the other hand, felt a little pained. The braised meat cubes cooked with the secret recipe provided by Shen's were so delicious that she even licked her fingers. However, she had not even eaten a few pieces and had to give away so many of them.

"Mom, I'm going too." Shen Yizi chased after her.

She would not miss any opportunity to explore the terrain, perhaps she would come across treasure buried underground.

But it didn’t.

Faced with the large piece of braised bone that Shen Xing brought to their doorstep, the neighbors were very warm and kind. After receiving the bone, they also gave some food in return.

So Shen Xing did not come back empty-handed. The big bowl was filled with gifts from various families, such as a piece of sausage or a small bowl of braised pork.

Shen Xing sniffed the braised pork and started muttering how to cook it, looking like he really wanted to show off his cooking skills.

That’s right, Chef Shen has a talent for identifying flavors and ingredients.

Just by smelling it, he can almost tell what ingredients are in the dish, and even the order in which they are put in can't be hidden from his nose! As a foodie, Shen Yizhi said that she would spare no effort to encourage and cultivate Xiao Xingxing's talent in this area, so that it can be carried forward and benefit the people - her and the Shen family, and of course, Doctor Su should also be counted.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

There was no doubt that Shen Yizi was overfed.

Although her belly was already bulging, she did not give up. Instead, she stood up and walked around twice. When she felt there was room in her stomach again, she returned to the dining table.

But Shen didn't let her eat anymore, "Zhizhi, you can't eat anymore, be careful of indigestion."

Shen Yizhi looked at the delicious food on the table and felt heartbroken. She hadn't eaten enough yet! However, her stomach wouldn't allow it any more.

Looking at Shen Xing who was still eating heartily, she felt resentful. She wished she had such a big appetite.

"Mom, let me have another bowl of pigeon soup."

The shiitake mushroom and pigeon soup was absolutely delicious. The soup was clear and long-lasting, fresh but not greasy. The shiitake mushrooms in it had absorbed the essence of the pigeon and were juicy. Although it was vegetarian, it felt like eating meat, but not greasy at all, which made her never tired of eating it.

Shen couldn't bear her pleading and served her a small bowl of soup.

Shen Yizhi held the bowl and drank in small sips with satisfaction.

This taste is something that even a god wouldn’t change.

After dinner, Su Chaiyu helped Shen Xing go into the kitchen to clean up and wash the dishes.

Although Shen tried his best to stop it, he failed.

Shen Yizi leaned lazily in Shen's arms, letting her rub his belly.

He hummed with comfort.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, Su Chaiyu was obviously reluctant to leave. He suddenly had an idea and said, "Zhizhi, do you want to listen to your uncle playing the flute?"

Shen Yizi immediately became interested. This Uncle Su was handsome, had a good family background, had superb medical skills, and now he could even play the flute. He was simply the standard of the national husband!

"Listen, listen!"

Su Chaiyu looked at Shen inquiringly: "Then I'll go back and get the flute?"
