【475】Mid-Autumn Festival Spicy Banquet



"Girl, are you okay?"

Ling Yuan picked beans without even raising her eyelids. "What can I do? Since this is destined by God, I should just accept it as a matter of course. There is nothing to complain about. Besides, compared to what I have gone through, the one who really suffered is our mother."

If she still felt guilty towards Mo Hanyi at the beginning, then after listening to Mo Yin's story, her guilt instantly disappeared, because if she hadn't come back at this time to replace her, it would most likely be her who would dedicate herself to the Mo family in the future.

Although all this was not what she should have endured, she felt very uncomfortable now, perhaps because of her pettiness. However, she could not find a chance to vent her feelings. Thinking back on the past sixteen years of her life, it was so miserable!

The Mo family is very wealthy. Even though it is just a small kitchen, it has all the necessary kitchen utensils. Even the variety of vegetables is unmatched by the rest of the continent.

When she first entered the kitchen, she was attracted by the grand layout here. If it were any other time, when she was in a very good mood, she would definitely cook a table of dishes in a great mood, but today, she had no mood to eat at all.

"Yuan'er, do you hate us?"

Ling Yuan looked up helplessly: "Brother, why should I hate you? How old were you and brother back then? Five or six-year-old children, what do you know? Besides, this is a grudge between the previous generation, what does it have to do with you? Even if I am ignorant, I know the seriousness of this. Don't worry, I know what I should do and I won't dwell on it."

"You," Mo Yuan wanted to say something, but Ling Yuan interrupted him bluntly: "Alright, stop talking about those useless things. What do you want to eat? I look at this mess now and I really don't know what to cook."

Mo Yuan rubbed her hair lovingly, "Everything my sister makes is delicious. You can make whatever you want."

"The point is that I don't know what I want to eat, brother, please don't be polite, just tell me and see if I can make it."

Mo Yuan looked at the bloodshot in her eyes and felt even more sorry for her, but he also knew that maybe asking her to do something could divert her attention, so he said to her immediately.

"Yesterday was August 15th, which should have been a day for family reunion, but we spent the day chatting. Fortunately, the moon is full on the 16th, so it's not too late for us to make up for it today. How about this, since today's incident is quite irritating, why don't you prepare a spicy feast so that everyone can vent their anger?"

Ling Yuan blinked instinctively: "Sixth brother likes spicy food?"

Mo Yuan wanted to avoid her out of guilt, but then he suddenly thought of something and boldly raised his eyes to look at her.

"Why do you care if he can eat spicy food? If others can eat it, why can't he? Besides, compared to the suffering you've endured, what does this mean?"

Although Mo Yuan was unwilling to put all the responsibility on Mo Yin, after all, Ling Yuan was right just now. This was the grudge of the previous generation and it really was not their responsibility to bear the responsibility. However, who could have made him the eldest son of their family? The eldest brother is like a father. If he could let his sister vent her anger, he would have to swallow chili peppers!

Thinking of this, he felt much better. Ling Yuan curled the corners of his lips, suddenly stood up, patted Mo Yuan's shoulder and nodded.

"Brother Nine is right. If that's the case, then I can show off my skills."

"Sister, feel free to use your tricks. We have grown up without ever eating food cooked by our sister. Just keep busy and I will help you!"

Ling Yuan turned her head away with disdain, "You? Can you do it?"

Someone suddenly became unhappy, the smile still frozen on his face, and he was as depressed as he could be inside.

"Silly girl, didn't anyone tell you that you should never question a man's 'ability'?"

Ling Yuan curled her lips and shrugged, "Okay, since you are so eager to try, I can't refuse your kindness."

With motivation, all kinds of recipes in her mind continued to come together. Ling Yuan looked at the dishes on the ground, and at the various seasonings and kitchen utensils next to them. If she didn't have them, she would take them from the space. There were seasonings, kitchen utensils, and vegetables, and soon a large pile of them was piled on the ground.

Ling Yuan commanded in an orderly manner: "Brother Jiu, go kill those two black fish for me first."

Then she went out and called two maids who looked quite skillful, asking them to help her pick, wash, and cut vegetables, etc., while she appropriately distributed the vegetables and seasonings according to the different dishes...

Time passed minute by minute, and after nearly an hour and a half of hard work, Ling Yuan's spicy banquet was finally completed.

When all the nearly twenty dishes were served on the table, even without opening the lids, the irresistible spicy aroma filled the restaurant.

Except for Mo Yin who sneezed immediately, the others looked at Ling Yuan with expectant eyes.

"What a nice, spicy smell, Yuan'er, what did you do?"

When they were in the City That Never Sleeps, Gongzi Yan knew that his sister had an excellent cooking skill. Now that so many plates were served and there was such a spicy and tempting smell, she almost swallowed her saliva on the spot.

As Mo Yuan placed his chopsticks, he glanced at the expectant expressions of Mo Hanyi and Gongzi Yan, then looked at his brother's gradually gloomy face, and couldn't help but smile slyly: "This is the all-spicy feast that Yuan'er specially prepared for us. Oh my god, you have no idea how delicious it is. Just thinking about it makes me drool. Yuan'er, oh?"

"Sister Hanyi, do you like spicy food too?" Through what she just learned, Ling Yuan knew that Mo Hanyi was about ten days older than they were.

Unexpectedly, before Mo Hanyi could say anything, Mo Yuan answered for her, "Eat, this girl might eat. Don't be fooled by her gentle nature, she is very enthusiastic when it comes to eating chili peppers. On the contrary, Xiangjun, who seems to be more aggressive than her, doesn't eat spicy food. Look how self-conscious she is, she has already sat down and is ready to eat."

Ling Yuan turned her head and saw that Mo Hanyi had picked up the chopsticks at some point. The shyness on her face turned into stiffness when she heard Mo Yuan mention Mo Xiangjun. Obviously, in Mo Hanyi's heart, Mo Xiangjun was still her sister, right?

Aren't her feelings towards Mo Xiangjun exactly the same as Gongzi Yan's feelings towards her?

Thinking of this, she felt a bit of pity for Mo Xiangjun who was suffering in her space.

I don't know if it was because her expression was too real, so real that she didn't even notice when Mo Yuan walked up to her. It was not until she heard him say "no" that she realized what he meant.

It seems that her ninth brother is against her bringing Mo Xiangjun out!

"Since you like it, then eat more. Everyone, please sit down and I will introduce to you what these dishes are."

Mo Yuan's smug words quickly interrupted Mo Hanyi's train of thought. After he had finally reported the names of the dishes he had learned from Ling Yuan and introduced them clearly, he realized that someone sitting in the main seat was staring at him with a cold face.

Mo Yuan instinctively shuddered, took a deep breath, and forced a smile as he looked at his brother.

"Brother, these dishes were made by our Yuan'er herself. She spent a long time preparing each dish. Come and try them!"

As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Mo Yin. Although Mo Yin was depressed, he did not show it on his face. He stared at Mo Yuan for a long time before he mustered up the courage to look at those red dishes.

Mo Hanyi naturally knew that Mo Yin didn't eat spicy food, but after receiving a warning look from Mo Yuan, she bit her chopsticks and stared at her brother, looking helpless.

Gongzi Yan was so perceptive that he naturally realized that the brothers and sisters were deliberately punishing Mo Yin. Although she did not agree with this method, she had to say that it was exactly what she wanted. She was originally thinking about where to vent her anger, and now, someone just came to her door.

Thinking of this, she raised a smile more innocent than Snow White and picked up one of her favorite spicy crayfish for Mo Yin.

"Sixth brother, this is my favorite. Yuan'er made it for me once before. After eating it, I thought about it every day. I didn't expect to be so lucky today. Come and try it, it's delicious!"

With Gongzi Yan's lead, Mo Yuan was no longer afraid. He winked at Mo Hanyi, and then fearlessly picked up some food for Mo Yin.

"Sixth brother, there's me and there's me. You're our eldest brother, so naturally I'll think of you first when there's something delicious. I strongly requested Yuan'er to make this spicy chicken. I just took a bite, and it was so satisfying. I guarantee you'll sweat profusely after eating it!"

Under Mo Yuan's fierce gaze, Mo Hanyi bravely picked up a piece of spicy fish and placed it on the plate in front of him.

"Six, Sixth Brother, this is the spicy fish that Yi'er loves the most. It's spicy and numbing, and really delicious. Would you like to try it too?"

I don’t know if it was Mo Yin’s unintentional glance that scared Mo Hanyi, but after picking up the food for Mo Yin, she picked up her plate and shrank to the position farthest away from him. Ling Yuan squeezed over with amusement.

"Sister Hanyi, you can't do this. Is he that scary?"

Mo Hanyi raised his head helplessly, first glanced at Mo Yin secretly, then turned his head cautiously and said to Ling Yuan.

"You are a young and inexperienced person, but you don't know how he has trained us over the years. The consequences of offending the eldest brother are terrible, especially for Ninth Brother. He has been absolutely crushed by Sixth Brother since he was a child. I really don't understand why Ninth Brother is so bold today and dares to force Sixth Brother to eat spicy food!"

"Why can't Sixth Brother eat spicy food?"

Mo Hanyi swallowed hard and was about to say something when Mo Yin suddenly swung a knife at her. She was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand dropped. She squatted down in panic, shrinking her neck and not daring to say another word.

Ling Yuan: ..., sister, he is your biological brother after all. Well, okay, even if we are not biological brothers now, we have lived together for sixteen years. If you are afraid of him like this, isn't that just giving him some prestige?

Thinking that I might be abused by my brother in the future, it would be better to abuse him back before he abuses me.

Especially since his life story has just been revealed, he is feeling guilty towards her. It is just right to torture him at this time. It must be that Ninth Brother is really brave. No one else would dare to give her such advice, haha!

Ling Yuan's cunning and smart eyes rolled around the dishes. When she saw one of the dishes, her beautiful eyes instantly narrowed into a slit.

"Brother, this is my favorite. You can eat my brothers and sisters' dishes but you can't not eat mine. Here, the fried pork intestines. I will definitely want to eat it again after eating it once!"

When he heard the word "fat intestines", Mo Yuan couldn't help but chuckled, tilted his head to the side, and laughed heartily.

However, after seeing the pig intestines, Mo Yin's eyes suddenly became full of clouds, and even the blue veins on his forehead began to jump wildly because of his forbearance. Hearing such a fearless voice out of the blue, although he stared at the dishes on the table motionlessly, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a chilling smile that made people tremble with fear.

"Very funny?" The gloomy voice suppressed someone's last bottom line.

Mo Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth. He shrank his neck in fear and hid behind Ling Yuan awkwardly, laughing dryly.

"No, not really, well, funny." After saying that, he pulled Ling Yuan's arm as if asking for help.

Sister, now that it has come to this, you can’t just care about your own pleasure and ignore your brother’s life or death!

Ling Yuan turned around and glared at him in anger. If you have the ability to do it, why can't you finish it? It's really shameful. He's your brother. What are you afraid of?

Mo Yuan gritted his teeth and glared back, "Silly girl, what do you know? This guy just has that ability, okay?"

Sometimes just a word or a look can make people bow their heads instinctively. That kind of kingly spirit that stands out from the crowd is something that your ninth brother and I can never compare to.

Ling Yuan: ...Well, it's all in vain. If she keeps saying this, I'm afraid that the self-confidence that she has worked so hard to build up will be shattered by this guy.

"Sixth brother, why don't you eat it? Don't you like it? If you really don't like it, tell me what you like to eat and I'll make it for you!"

Seeing that she really turned around, Mo Yin quickly picked up the chopsticks and said lightly: "No, this is good, I'll eat it."

After saying that, he actually picked up the pig intestine that Ling Yuan had just picked up. However, the chopsticks that were stiff in mid-air and the slightly trembling chopstick tips showed that his patience at this moment had reached a certain critical line. But facing Ling Yuan's expectant eyes, even if he felt disgusted and nauseous in his heart, Mo Yin still ate it.

The taste in his mouth, apart from being spicy, was much better than he had imagined. He had never understood why his beautiful sister liked to eat something as cheap as pig intestines, but now he finally understood.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to swallow it, but I didn't expect him to swallow it in just a few swallows. He even felt a little unsatisfied because of the aftertaste?
