After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xuelan came to Yun Mo wearing a full set of sterile clothing.

"Auntie Lan."

"Vice President Luo."

Yun Mo, Zeng Fang, and the young female employee who was watching on the side shouted in unison.

Luo Xuelan recognized Zeng Fang by her voice and smiled as she put her hand on her shoulder. "Fang Fang, I haven't seen you come to my house to play for a long time."

Zeng Fang chuckled and said, "I'm busy with the college entrance examination. Now that it's over, I'll go every day as long as you don't mind."

"Okay, I'll prepare some delicious food for you."

Yun Mo suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Luo Xuelan, "Auntie Lan, how is Sister Xia now?"

"Xia'er arrived in Country Y safely on the evening of the 8th. She has been busy with school and housing issues these past two days. I'll give you her apartment's phone number later. You can call her when you have time."

"good."

Luo Xuelan picked up the taro balls that had been rolled on the table, squeezed them with her hands, and asked curiously, "Are these glutinous rice balls you made?"

Yun Mo smiled and shook her head. "This is called fruit taro balls. The main ingredient is tapioca flour, with a small amount of glutinous rice flour and grape skin juice."

"Taro balls, I think I've heard friends talk about them before, they should be a traditional snack in the southern Fujian area?"

"Yes."

Luo Xuelan had a meeting to attend, so she only stayed for a short while before leaving. However, before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Yun Mo to save a portion of the snacks for her.

After spending more than three hours, Zeng Fang finally got to eat the hand-kneaded old ice jelly.

"Ahhh, so delicious! Oh my god, how can the taro balls be so fragrant, soft and chewy? Momo, the ice jelly you made is absolutely delicious. No wonder you don't eat the ice jelly bought outside. I'm going to eat another bowl later."

"no."

"Why?"

"Girls shouldn't eat so much ice, it's not good for your health."

Seeing Zeng Fang pouting unhappily, Yun Mo had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll give you some taro balls and dried fruit crisps."

Zeng Fang's eyebrows lit up immediately, "Okay, okay, add more taro balls, raisins, and winter melon candy."

Yun Mo simply gave her the spoon and said, "Add it yourself."

Yunmo made a lot of ice jelly, and there was still a lot left after everyone in the R&D lab had a bowl.

In the hot summer, eating a bowl of cool, delicious and sweet old ice jelly is so comfortable.

Everyone in the R&D room praised Yun Mo's handmade old ice jelly, except for one discordant voice - it came from the young female employee assigned by Secretary Dong to be Yun Mo's assistant.

"This ice jelly tastes better than those sold outside, but the method is too complicated. Ice jelly is still a street snack. A bowl of ice jelly sold outside is only 0.5 to 0.1 yuan, but the cost of this bowl of ice jelly is so high. Who would be willing to spend so much money to buy such a bowl of ice jelly? It is flashy and not practical."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire R&D room became awkward.

He ate the ready-made food for nothing and even had the nerve to act sarcastic. Zeng Fang got angry all of a sudden.

"People only have one mouth, so you can eat more and talk less! What's wrong with the high cost? Who forced you to eat? Eat if you want, and get out if you don't want to."

Yun Mo is not a clay figurine, and she can remain good-tempered despite repeated provocations from the other party.

“There are always differences in the quality of food. It’s up to each person to choose. Just because you can’t afford something doesn’t mean others can’t either.”

Other people in the R&D room all spoke up for Yun Mo, after all, they should be grateful to the person who had helped them.

"Anyway, half of my monthly salary is spent on food. If this bowl of ice jelly costs only 50 or 60 cents, I will definitely buy it every day."

"You can feed your whole family by yourself, but we have to support our family, so we can't compare with you. However, it's still nice to buy a bowl of rice for the children to satisfy their cravings occasionally."

The female employee didn't expect that her casual words would cause public resentment, and she felt extremely ashamed and angry for a moment.

But as a new employee, she did not have the courage and strength to confront the entire department, so she could only hold her nose and apologize to Yun Mo.

"I don't mean to say that your ice jelly is bad. I just think that if you can reduce the cost while making it delicious, it would be perfect."

Yun Mo smiled faintly, "I just make it to kill time, I don't want to make money from it, so the cost is not within my consideration."

The female employee forced a smile and said, "So that's how it is. I was mistaken. I didn't mean what I said just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Yun Mo didn't comment. She turned around and found a few clean take-out boxes, put all the ingredients in them, and prepared to make ice jelly for the people at home in the evening.

After coming out of the R&D laboratory, Yun Mo went straight to the general manager's office.

Xie Linan and Luo Xuelan were both in a meeting. Yun Mo placed two bowls of prepared old ice jelly on their desks respectively, left a note, and left Ronghua Company with Zeng Fang.

After returning to the courtyard, Yun Mo took out the photo album from the study and showed it to Zeng Fang.

"Ah, Momo! Your dad looks so young and handsome. Is he really in his 40s? Why do I feel like he's in his early 30s at most?"

Yun Mo laughed, "He's not here, he won't be able to hear you even if you compliment him."

"It's not a compliment, I'm speaking from the heart, okay!"

After looking at Shao Lin's photos with great interest, Zeng Fang suddenly thought of a question.

"Momo, your dad is so rich and handsome, he should be married, right? Then you will have a stepmother, right?"

"According to him, he is not married. Besides, even if he does have a stepmother, I have nothing to worry about."

"That's right. You are already an adult and have a family. Not to mention your stepmother, even your biological mother can't reach out to you to control you."

As soon as Zeng Fang finished saying this, she turned around and found Huang Zhiqiu standing next to her. She felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.

"Aunt Qiu, I'm not talking about you. I'm just making an analogy. Please don't be angry."

Huang Zhiqiu has a kind heart and naturally would not bother with these things with the younger generation.

She smiled and touched Zeng Fang's hair. "Let's have dinner here tonight. You and Momo have worked hard during this period. I see you have lost a lot of weight. I will make sour radish and old duck soup for you to nourish yourself."

Thinking of the sour, salty and fresh taste of the sour radish and old duck soup, Zeng Fang couldn't help but slurping her saliva.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Aunt Qiu!"

"You're welcome. I'm going to the market to buy a duck. You and Momo can stay home and play."

"Okay!"

In the evening, the setting sun has completely sunk below the horizon, and the sunset glows red across the entire sky, like a gorgeous oil painting.

After finishing his work, Shao Lin went to the next yard to see how the servants were doing. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw several gardeners working together to lift an old jasmine plant into a deep pit that had been dug.
