At this time, Mr. Li came over from a distance.
"Sister Mingyue!"
Behind Old Li were the children from the nunnery. Hongque was waving at her excitedly and then running over happily.
"Sister, you're awesome! What a great game!"
Mingyue was a little surprised, "You guys are here too?"
"Yes! Granny Li invited us to watch the cooking talk."
"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious."
"The masters are here too!"
"The cooking talk is so interesting."
A group of children surrounded Mingyue like chirping birds, talking in a flurry.
Several chefs from the nunnery also slowly approached. They teased Mingyue with smiles on their faces, "Look at your cooking skills! The vegetarian cooking techniques we taught you were completely unnecessary!"
Facing the compliments from the masters, Mingyue smiled modestly: "Not really, not at all. I learned a lot from the vegetarian food taught by the masters, which is why I was able to win today."
Amidst all the laughter and joy, Li Mingzhu stood quietly aside, silently watching the lively scene of the people around her.
Suddenly, she felt a familiar breath approaching. Turning around, she saw that it was her mother-in-law Li Baiying who had quietly walked to her side.
"You look good," Li Baiying looked Li Mingzhu up and down with gentle eyes.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
After Mingyue's guidance, Li Mingzhu understood the real intention of her mother-in-law asking her to compete with Mingyue in cooking skills.
Li Baiying didn't say anything more, but just reached out and gently patted Li Mingzhu's shoulder. The encouraging gesture seemed to convey a kind of silent power.
Then, she walked towards where the bright moon was.
Mingyue had just received a stack of vegetarian recipes that the children had helped copy.
At this moment, she was listening attentively to the children who were happily sharing with her which vegetarian dish they thought looked more delicious.
When she reached Mingyue, Li Baiying first looked at the children gathered around Mingyue affectionately, and then said softly, "Children, can I borrow your sister Mingyue for a while?"
After saying this, she turned her gaze to Mingyue and asked gently, "Mingyue, would you be willing to walk with me, an old woman?"
Hearing this, Mingyue responded readily: "Of course."
Seeing this, Li Baiying waved to Li Mingzhu and said, "Mingzhu, please lead these masters and children to the restaurant for dinner. You must treat them well."
——
Mingyue and Li Baiying walked side by side on the quiet and peaceful walkway in the bamboo forest.
"Thank you for helping Mingzhu," Li Baiying expressed her gratitude to Mingyue. "Some things I say are inappropriate. If I were to counsel her, it would only have the opposite effect."
Mingyue smiled. "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite. I just had a quick chat with Mingzhu. People sometimes get stuck in a mental rut, focusing too much on what they lack, and then they get stuck deeper and deeper, unable to extricate themselves. But if you just remind them a little, and make them realize that they also possess many precious things, they will often see the light. It's all human nature."
Li Baiying looked at Mingyue kindly, "You are really intelligent. Would you consider learning medicinal cuisine from me?"
Mingyue said sincerely, "Thank you for your appreciation of me, but for now, I don't have any plans to specialize in this field."
However, Li Baiying was not angry or displeased by Mingyue's refusal.
She continued, "If that's the case, I'm really in a dilemma. I was originally thinking of teaching you the Qigong techniques I master as a thank you gift. But after a brief interaction with you, I'm surprised to find that you've already dabbled in this area and practiced it. So, do you have any other favorites or wishes? Feel free to share them."
Mingyue was not surprised that Mr. Li could detect that she also knew some martial arts. After all, people who practiced martial arts were different from ordinary people in terms of their posture and the sounds they made when moving.
She waved her hand: "Really, there's no need. You're already a big help by helping Master Yan prepare the medicinal food."
Li Baiying shook her head. "This medicinal food matter is recorded in Mao's account, and the cooking discussion you had with Mingzhu is another matter. Let's deal with each other separately."
After a brief pause, Li Baiying spoke thoughtfully, "Hmm... well, the promise I made to you today will stand forever. If you have any ideas or needs in the future, you can always contact me."
In this way, Mingyue obtained the contact information of Mr. Li, which was hard to come by.
After parting with Mr. Li, Mingyue took a few slow steps forward when she suddenly heard a voice behind her calling out, "Mingyue!"
The sound came from far away and soon became clearly audible.
Turning around, she saw a group of people walking towards her hurriedly not far away.
It was Wushuang and her group, as well as several other students from the Oriental Cuisine College.
As soon as they saw the bright moon, their eyes suddenly lit up like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat.
Seeing a large group of people rushing towards him, Mingyue subconsciously wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Wushuang who came running over.
Wushuang invited enthusiastically, "Mingyue, the dish I carefully improved is finally ready! Do you want to come and try it? I promised to treat you to a meal."
