Facing the weasel's fierce gaze, Mingyue did not show any fear.
She continued, "You should eat your meal properly. If you eat with this expression, the food won't taste good."
Hearing this, the weasel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly revealed a slightly bitter smile, "You really said the same thing as it did."
Mingyue was puzzled, "It?"
The weasel nodded, a nostalgic look on his face. "My wife always said, 'Don't look mean at the dinner table.' Every time we ate together, she was smiling. But I can't help it. In my line of work, it's easy to be looked down upon if you're not a bit fierce. My facial injury has made me look even fiercer. With the eye patch on, I can even scare the neighborhood kids into tears when I see them."
He sighed deeply and continued, "Unfortunately, she fell ill during this period. It was all my fault for being too careless and not noticing that she was unwell. The children at home were furious with me for this, accusing me of not caring about the family at all. In a fit of rage, they took my wife away so that she could rest and recuperate." At this point, the weasel couldn't help but lower his head, his face full of regret and self-blame.
"Without it, I realized how lonely and sad it is to eat alone." The weasel said with a lonely look on his face.
"If you miss them, then you should let them know!" Sparrow couldn't help but interrupt. "If you make a mistake, you should admit it. If you miss them, you should also express it. Otherwise, how will they know?"
"I also went to the child's house several times with things, but was turned away every time." The weasel sighed again.
"What did you bring?" the red panda next to him asked curiously.
The weasel replied, "Tea and sweets I bought from the shopping street."
"That's definitely not okay!" Sparrow slapped the table excitedly with his wings. "You didn't choose this gift carefully at all! Tea and desserts are not suitable for sick people. No wonder your children won't let you in."
"But I don't know what else to buy?" The weasel scratched his head.
The guests nearby offered suggestions.
"Sending flowers is definitely the right thing to do. A beautiful bouquet will brighten your mood just by looking at it."
"I think it's a matter of attitude. You should go there more often to let them see your sincerity."
"I also think you should show your appreciation. How about giving your wife something she'd like?"
The weasel said weakly, "My wife really likes tea and desserts, so I bought them."
"Give up that! Tea and dessert don't go together!"
"What else does your wife like to eat?"
"Yeah, what kind of meat do you like to eat? Or what kind of vegetables do you like to eat?"
"Or some fruit? Giving fresh fruit to patients is also very nice."
The guests brainstormed, and the weasel also thought seriously, "Well, it likes to eat fish fillets, vegetables like cucumbers and lettuce, and fruits like peaches."
"In that case, why don't you try making fish porridge for your wife?" Mingyue suggested. "You can also pickle some vegetables with cucumbers. Sick people may have a loss of taste in their mouths, so sour vegetables are more appetizing. As for peaches, you can make some canned peaches."
Just after the weasel told his troubles, Mingyue received a prompt that a new commission had been triggered. After accepting it, he saw the details of the commission.
【Weasel's Request-Convey Your Feelings
Please help the weasel convey his worries and concerns to his wife, and help the family reconcile! 】
Mingyue thought about it and realized that nothing could convey ideas better than food.
The other guests also thought it was a great idea.
"Boss, that's a great suggestion! And if you make it yourself, it shows your love."
"The cucumber side dish is a great idea. When I'm sick, my mouth really doesn't have much taste, so I always want something flavorful."
"And if you make it yourself, it must be very meaningful!"
When the weasel heard this suggestion, his eyes lit up and he thought to himself: This idea sounds pretty good! However, when he thought about cooking by himself, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
It scratched its head and said hesitantly, "Is it really okay for me to do it myself? To be honest, I really don't know anything about cooking."
Seeing Weasel like this, Mingyue comforted him, "Don't worry! Since you're willing to try it, Bread and I can teach you how to make fish porridge and pickled cucumbers."
Hearing this, the weasel seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and immediately nodded excitedly, saying: "Great! I want to learn how to make it, so I'll ask for your guidance, boss!"
Seeing this, Mingyue responded readily, "Alright! Let's put it this way. Starting tomorrow, just come over an hour before the store opens, and we'll teach you how to do it."
The weasel quickly agreed and promised solemnly, "Okay! I got it. I will definitely bring the ingredients to the store when the time comes."
It has made up its mind to learn cooking skills well and strive to make delicious dishes as soon as possible so that it can reconcile with its family.
After this incident, the atmosphere in Mo Ming's store became more harmonious. The customers were no longer so distant from each other and would chat with each other from time to time.
——
Later still, Jinli finally arrived.
It came to the store, climbed onto the table, and looked at Mingyue with its head, "Boss Yueyue, I'm here again!"
"Our little hero is here." Mingyue waved to the little squirrel, "Guess what I have to give you?"
