Chapter 568: You have mastered the Li family's cooking skills to perfection
Looking at the black mass of sea cucumbers, Shang Ruoting suddenly had an idea.
Sea cucumbers can be made into dried ones, so wouldn’t it be enough to just soak them in water?
While Shang Ruoting secretly praised her own cleverness, she had already used her mind to mobilize dozens of sea cucumbers and send them to the processing workshop. In a few seconds, a pile of dried sea cucumbers appeared in front of her.
She came to the kitchen with satisfaction, bringing the dried sea cucumber.
"Grandma, this is the sea cucumber I bought in Hong Kong. Can we add another dish to dinner?"
As for Shang Lifeng, Shang Ruoting really couldn't call him Dad, so she simply ignored him.
Shang Lifeng took the dried sea cucumber from Shang Ruoting's hand without any concern.
"Did you buy it in Gangcheng?" He was a little unconvinced. Along the way, he saw Tan Chen carrying a small package. Could it be that it only contained these sea cucumbers?
Shang Ruoting replied calmly, "Yes, if you go to the beach, you should always bring something back.
I heard from those people that sea cucumbers are very nutritious, so it’s a good idea to give them to you.”
Shang Lifeng believed it. The package Tan Chen was carrying was about the same size as the sea cucumber.
"Leave it to me!"
With two chefs present, it would be a hindrance if Shang Ruoting stayed here to help, so she handed the sea cucumber to Shang Lifeng and left.
With Shang Lifeng joining the team, the dishes on the dinner table were even better than those prepared by Old Lady Shang alone. Despite the shortage of ingredients, the dishes were still delicious and flavourful.
Especially those dried sea cucumbers, when they fell into his hands, he could make several delicious dishes.
Chicken minced sea cucumber soup, stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, and cold sea cucumber salad. Shang Lifeng also made a refreshing sea cucumber puree specially for his two little granddaughters, which the two little ones ate with relish.
In addition, he also made a few simple side dishes using ingredients available at home.
Old Mrs. Shang looked at the table full of familiar dishes and couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes again.
"You have mastered the Li family's cooking skills to perfection."
Shang Lifeng kept his head down. When he left Sihe Village, his cooking skills were not so good. They were all acquired after being imprisoned for so many years.
This is a pain he will never forget in his life.
Seeing that the two were beginning to feel sad again, Shang Ruoting quickly winked at Tan Chen. The couple carried Sanbao and Sibao to the table and said loudly, "Baby, try this refreshing sea cucumber puree that grandpa made for you. Is it delicious?"
As she spoke, Shang Ruoting scooped a little with a small spoon and put it into Sanbao's mouth, while Tan Chen also fed Sibao.
Sure enough, this method worked very well, and everyone's attention was attracted by the two cute little guys.
The first reunion dinner after Shang Lifeng returned ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
Old Mrs. Shang still had a lot to say to her son, but thinking that he had been tired from riding the train these days, she asked him to go back home and rest early. They still had a long time to spend together in the future, so there was no need to rush.
Shang Ruonan really wanted to make up for her mistakes from the past. After everyone returned to their rooms, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to boil water for her grandmother to wash her feet.
Old Mrs. Shang was also filled with emotion when she looked at her eldest granddaughter.
When the child was born, she and Shang Lichun had not yet broken up, and the family lived together.
Old Mrs. Shang watched Shang Ruonan grow up until she was 6 years old before she left. Recalling the scene at that time, when she took Shang Lifeng's family away, Shang Ruonan cried and grabbed her, wanting to move away with her.
Later, as the relationship with Shang Lichun's family deteriorated, Mrs. Shang automatically ignored Shang Ruonan's existence, so that she was taught by Zhang Lanxiang to become a little scheming.
"Ruonan, have you heard about what happened in your family?"
Shang Ruonan nodded slightly and smiled bitterly, "Grandma, let's not talk about those people. The blisters on my feet were caused by walking. If they hadn't treated me as family and only considered their own interests, I wouldn't have thought of going south in such a fit of anger."
"Yes... There's really nothing to be nostalgic about in a home that can't even accommodate your own family." Old Mrs. Shang sighed and continued, "But you're already in your early thirties. It's not a long-term solution to keep drifting around like this. What are your plans?"
"I plan to go back to see Liangliang, and then go south to look for a job after the New Year."
Old Lady Shang was a little disapproving: "Wouldn't that still mean you're just wandering around? Have you ever thought about starting a family again?"
Speaking of this, Shang Ruonan felt sad.
How could she not want a stable home?
But who would be willing to marry her, a woman who has been married twice and has been in prison?
I'm afraid she will have to live alone like this for the rest of her life.
However, in order to prevent her grandmother from worrying about her, she forced a smile and said, "I know, grandma. If there's a suitable one, I'll consider it."
Old Mrs. Shang was not stupid either, and she could clearly hear the disappointment in Shang Ruonan's tone.
