They looked pretty good. Oh, no, every single boxed meal looked pretty good, and now she was starting to regret not choosing one with meat.
She wants to eat everything right now, from braised prawns to braised pork ribs!
Mother Stone was still savoring it.
"It seems pretty good."
Based on her years of cooking experience, the food was definitely not stale, and the person who cooked it was quite skilled.
You could say it tastes even better than what she makes.
This is not something that cannot be admitted.
"This meal is fine; I was overthinking it."
Having received unanimous approval from his family for the boxed lunch, Shi Fan proudly raised his head. "Hahaha, right? Who told you not to believe me? I told you it was delicious!"
Then, he started eating the boxed lunch in front of him. Just as he was about to pick up a shrimp to peel, the boxed lunch was moved away from him.
Shi Fan: "???"
He watched as Shi Ran pulled his braised prawns towards her.
"Just eat one serving, lose some weight."
"I'm not fat, why would I need to lose weight?" Shi Fan pretended to take the lunchbox back, but Shi Ran blocked the other side of the box.
Shi Fan had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, okay, you can have it, I won't fight you for it."
Actually, he didn't really intend to take it. Ever since Shi Ran became pregnant, she could barely eat anything all day long. She finally had an appetite, so how could he possibly take it?
Although he really wanted to try the braised prawns.
"Dad, could you give me a piece of pork chop? Dad! You've finished eating!"
Shi Fan stared in surprise at the empty lunchbox in front of his father.
In such a short time, he finished a whole serving of braised pork ribs?! Not even a single piece left for him?!
cry!
"It's quite delicious, not bad. See if the owner comes back to sell it tomorrow, and buy some more."
Mr. Shi took a sip of water, stood up as he spoke, and left the dining table, leaving only an empty lunchbox behind.
He should have done it earlier. Shi Fan was filled with regret.
Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks reached out. Shi Fan thought Shi Ran was using the same trick again and was about to protect his food when he saw that there was a large shrimp in his minced meat and eggplant dish.
"Sis, you're so kind."
"Don't give me that," Shi Ran said dismissively.
Look at him, he must love boxed lunches so much. He was about to cry if he didn't get a single piece of pork rib. She was afraid he would really burst into tears if she didn't give him a shrimp.
Shi Fan ignored the disdainful look his older sister gave him and kept his eyes fixed on the large shrimp in front of him.
His eyes were glued to the braised prawn in the lunchbox.
The shrimp shells are coated in a thick sauce, shining red like agate soaked in honey, with a hint of caramelized brown at the edges. But closer to the shrimp meat, a hint of tender, bluish-white peeks out, a freshness from the sauce not being fully absorbed.
Its reddish-green color is incredibly tempting; you can tell at a glance that it's been braised just right, allowing the sauce to cling firmly to the shell without damaging the tender meat inside.
The moment his fingertips touched the shrimp shell, they were coated with oil, and the sweet aroma of the sauce mixed with the freshness of the shrimp filled his nostrils. He gently pried open the shrimp head, and a little amber juice oozed from the shell. He quickly brought it to his lips and tasted it; the salty-sweet flavor with a hint of spiciness was so fresh that it made his tongue tingle.
I was extra careful when peeling the shrimp, afraid of damaging even a bit of meat. The exposed shrimp meat was white with a hint of pink, as tender as a piece of tofu, and it trembled at the slightest touch.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, the rich sweetness of the sauce exploded on his tongue, followed by the bouncy texture of the shrimp meat. With a gentle chew, it melted in his mouth, releasing a burst of tender freshness mixed with the aroma of the sauce. It was so delicious that his eyebrows lifted, and he even licked the sauce off his fingers.
