Chapter 594: Cooking Soup for Shao Lin



Graduating with his wife and getting a college diploma together, just thinking about it made Ling Chuan feel as if a molten flame was burning in his heart.

"Miss, brother-in-law, so you are here. Dinner is almost ready. Do you want to eat it now?"

"Well, let's set the table."

"good."

After the cook left, Yun Mo stood up, put on her small bamboo basket, turned around and said to the man who was still sitting on the stone chair, "Let's go, what are you still standing there for?"

Ling Chuan tilted his head slightly to look at her, his black eyes were soft, just like a docile big dog.

"Wife, take me with you."

"You are so troublesome."

Yun Mo scolded him while reaching out her hand to him.

Ling Chuan smiled secretly, like a cat that tasted something fishy.

The man's palm was big enough to wrap around her entire hand, and the temperature of his palm was slightly higher than hers, which was one of her main ways to keep warm in the cold winter.

For the young couple, dinner was a bit richer, with crystal pork elbow, braised ox tongue, gourd chicken, three-shred cold noodles, and a dish of stewed pork ribs with corn and radish.

There were three meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup, two of which were Jiangshi-style dishes. It was obvious that the cook had put a lot of thought into their preparations, fearing that the two people would not be able to get used to the Beijing cuisine.

Although there were many varieties of dishes, the portions were just right, and there wasn't much left after the two of them finished.

After eating, the two went to the garden to digest the food and pick the remaining jasmine flowers.

The jasmine flower has a very short flowering period. It blooms today and withers tomorrow. Instead of letting it fall into the soil and become floral mud, it is better to pick it when it is in full bloom, dry it, grind it into powder and preserve it. It can be used to make cakes and spices later.

Moreover, picking off some of the flowers can also retain some nutrients for the tree stump.

By the time the picked jasmine flowers filled the small bamboo basket, it was already completely dark, but the jasmine garden was not pitch dark.

From the gate to the main hall, the corridors on both sides, as well as the flower beds and cobblestone paths in the garden are all equipped with warm white night lights.

From a distance, these night lights look like stars in the sky, decorating the entire Jasmine Garden beautifully and dreamily.

If the Shao family compound wasn't too far from Peking University, Yun Mo really thought it would be possible to live in Mo Garden for a long time.

After picking the flowers, Yun Mo asked Ling Chuan to wash the jasmine flowers and find a sieve to hang them up, while she fetched a small basin of well water to water the jasmine flowers.

When she arrived under the jasmine tree, she subconsciously looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she quietly took some spiritual spring water from the space, mixed it with well water and poured it on the roots of the jasmine tree.

After watering, Yunmo suddenly had an idea. This jasmine tree is such a rare variety. Would it bloom better if it was transplanted into a larger space?

Yun Mo did it as soon as she thought of it. She found a pair of big scissors and cut five or six branches with flower buds.

Back in the bedroom, Yun Mo planted one of the jasmine flowers in the second-level space, and put the others in a vase and placed them on the windowsill.

After doing all this, Yun Mo washed her hands and went to Shao Lin's yard.

I didn’t expect that it was already past 8 o’clock and Shao Lin hadn’t returned home yet.

Wei Fu led Yun Mo to Shao Lin's study to wait, but Yun Mo had concerns. Considering Shao Lin's status and position, there must be a lot of confidential information and letters in the study.

"My lady, I have already told you that if you come here, you can come and go in any room here at will."

After hearing this, Yun Mo walked into the study.

The interior of the study is more spacious than it looks from the outside. It is divided into three areas in total: desk, rest area and book collection area.

After a brief tour of the study, Yun Mo found an agricultural book from the bookshelf and sat on the sofa in the lounge area to read it.

I don’t know how long it was before Yun Mo’s attention was interrupted by the sound of steady and powerful footsteps outside the door.

As soon as I closed the book, Shao Lin strode in from the door.

Yun Mo casually put the book on the coffee table, stood up and said, "It wasn't long, I read for a while."

Shao Lin took off his suit jacket and handed it to Wei Fu, and asked her with a smile: "What book are you reading?"

"Common techniques and precautions for cutting planting. I want to grow more jasmine plants that my grandma gave me."

"Momo, I'll introduce you to a very famous flower expert when I have time. You can ask him for advice in person."

"OK."

When they got closer, Yun Mo could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Shao Lin's body, and there was a faint blush on both sides of his cheekbones, obviously he had drunk a lot.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Shao Lin waved his hands, opened his arms and leaned against the back of the sofa. He looked a little drunk, but his eyes were clear and gentle.

"I'm fine, Momo. I just drank a few more cups because I was happy. I took the thermos cup you gave me to the company today. They all envied me and asked me where I bought it.

Humph, will I tell them? I'm not stupid. This is a gift you gave me. It's unique in the world. I don't want them to use the same one as me.

Momo, hiccup, tell daddy, where did you buy that thermos cup? Tomorrow I will find someone to buy all the remaining ones, including the factory. We will not produce them anymore and will not give them the chance to buy them."

Yun Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and for a moment she couldn't figure out whether Shao Lin was talking drunkenly or joking.

"Dad, the cup I gave you is unique."

"Really? Momo, don't lie to me, Dad will be sad."

Yun Mo smiled, "Well, I promise I didn't lie to you."

The titanium cup she gave to Shao Lin was a product of the 21st century. It did not exist in this era, at least not yet.

Yun Mo went to see Shao Lin originally to discuss the house, but it was obviously not appropriate given Shao Lin's current condition.

"Dad, take a rest. I'll make you a bowl of hangover soup."

What? My daughter wants to make him some hangover soup?

Shao Lin actually didn't like socializing, and he disliked drinking even less, but now, he suddenly felt that drinking and socializing were not so disgusting.

Although Shao Lin did not have dinner at home, there was a pot of clear duck soup on the stove in the kitchen. This was to prepare a midnight snack for Shao Lin in case he drank too much at night or did not eat enough at the dinner.

Yun Mo cooked a bowl of seaweed egg drops with the old duck soup.

"Hey, miss, why are you in the kitchen?"

Wei Fu followed the smell and came over, seeing Yun Mo busy in front of the stove, and asked in surprise.

"Dad drank a lot of wine, I'll make him a bowl of sobering soup."

Looking at the fragrant seaweed and egg soup in the white porcelain bowl, Wei Fu couldn't help swallowing.

It smells so good.

It was strange, he had made seaweed egg soup before, but it had never been so fragrant.

"Miss, can I have a taste? I feel like the seaweed and egg soup you made is a little different from what I usually make."

"sure."

The soup bowl was very big, and Shao Lin probably couldn't finish a full bowl. Yun Mo found a rice bowl, gave one bowl to Wei Fu.
