Over the years, she couldn't quite remember how good her mother's cooking was, but she never expected to witness it today.
Song Che hadn't expected his mother-in-law to be such a good cook. Even a simple mushroom and chicken soup was incredibly fragrant, as were the chicken oil and chicken and mushroom sauce.
The couple took the food home, and soon after, they took bowls and basins to ladle out the stewed mushroom and chicken soup and brought it back.
Song Che conscientiously washed all the pots and pans, then took them home and put them away before starting to prepare dinner.
The whole family were from the south, none of them were from the north, so Song Che always got rice when he got his food, never steamed buns or dumplings.
The steamed buns they ate were mostly small, the kind with sugar, eaten as snacks.
The steamed buns made in the canteen to cater to northerners are huge, larger than an adult man's fist, and they don't contain sugar.
Chen Suwen didn't like eating this kind of steamed bun. She preferred to eat rice, which was her staple food. She had a very typical southern palate.
Sometimes, even eating rice noodles doesn't feel like she's eaten a proper meal; she still prefers rice for all three meals.
Chen Suwen mixed the chicken and mushroom sauce into the rice, then added a spoonful of chicken oil and mixed it again before eagerly starting to eat.
Termitomyces albuminosus truly lives up to its reputation as a precious mushroom; its taste is indeed delicious.
The chicken and mushroom sauce tasted good, but it wasn't as fragrant as the chicken and mushroom oil. Suddenly, I realized that adding more mushroom sauce was a mistake.
"So delicious, so delicious."
The two children were eating with great relish. Six chicken legs were enough for the whole family. At this moment, the brother and sister forgot to gnaw on the chicken legs and were eating the matsutake mushrooms with a look of pure bliss.
Although the chicken legs were delicious, the deep-fried termite mushrooms were even more fragrant, and they preferred these termite mushrooms.
"Mom, your cooking is amazing! Ah Zong really didn't lie to me." Zhou Ling also praised her mother's cooking skills; the food was so delicious.
"Suddenly I don't want to eat in the cafeteria anymore."
The food prepared by the cooks in the military mess hall is edible, but it's basically just edible; it's unlikely to be delicious.
Zhou Ling had been eating in the cafeteria for so long that she thought her sense of taste had become dulled.
She felt her sense of taste return after eating her mother's cooking today; it was a true feast for the senses.
Chen Suwen rolled her eyes at her, "Even if I live with you for the rest of my life, let alone just for a short time, I still won't cook for you every day."
When she's at home by herself, she directs her son and daughter-in-law to cook. But when she lives with her daughter, she cooks every day.
How could that be?
"If you want something delicious, then cook for yourself."
Zhou Ling shook her head, "No, no."
She's very busy every day, and neither she nor Song Che has much time, so they've stopped cooking for themselves.
Eating in the cafeteria is fine too. Eating in the cafeteria is convenient, saves time and effort, and the cafeteria is the best.
Chen Suwen knew what she meant, but didn't say anything more.
I'll just send her some more sauce to go with her rice. Even if I can't let her eat delicious food often, it will still improve her meals a little.
Besides the rice sauce, you can also give her the hot pot base, so she can just eat hot pot when she doesn't feel like cooking.
She is so good to this daughter.
