Chapter 546: Irresistible Deliciousness (Page 1/2)
As soon as Huo Qingci returned home, Huo Yixin ran up to him and said, "Dad, let's have chicken hotpot tonight and take the medicine with it."
Huo Qingci didn't understand what her daughter meant. What did it mean to take it with medicine? Could it be that Manman was using herbs to cook hot pot? She asked puzzledly, "What medicine are we taking?"
“It’s Chinese medicine!”
"Xinxin, did you misunderstand your mother? Why would you take Chinese medicine if you're not sick?"
At this time, Lin Man took off her apron, carried the washed vegetables back to the dining table, turned around and said to Huo Qingci: "Come and see for yourself!"
Huo Qingci stood up slowly, his eyes falling on the pile of green plants in the basket on the table, and a feeling of doubt arose in his heart.
These green plants look familiar. Upon closer inspection, they are mint leaves... fennel sprouts and codonopsis seedlings. Could it be that I really have to eat these tonight?
He frowned slightly and thought to himself, but I have never heard that Chinese medicinal seedlings can be used for hot pot!
Is this thing actually delicious? He really had no idea. So, he turned to look at Lin Man with a suspicious look on his face and asked, "Manman, are we really going to take medicine tonight?"
Lin Man smiled slightly and answered confidently, "These Chinese herbal hot pots are no worse than those ordinary wild vegetables. You'll know how they taste when you try them later."
Hearing this, Huo Qingci was skeptical, then he turned his gaze to the pot of juicy chicken breast on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
Then he asked Lin Man expectantly, "Can we have dinner now?"
However, Lin Man shook her head gently and said, "Ningning hasn't come back yet. We have to wait for him first. Why don't you go next door and call Grandpa and the others over to come together."
Huo Qingci nodded and turned to walk next door. Lin Man walked to the cupboard and began to take out the dishes and set them aside.
Not long after, Huo Qingci came in with Grandpa and the other children. Lin Man quickly and warmly invited Grandpa to take a seat.
Not long after sitting down, Huo Li looked towards the door for a while, then said with a hint of worry: "Why hasn't Ningning come back yet?"
At this time, Lin Man hurriedly picked up a bowl, filled it with steaming hot eight-treasure porridge, and gently placed it in front of Huo Li, smiling and comforting:
"Grandpa, don't worry! Ningning might have been delayed on the road and will be back soon. Have some porridge to warm your stomach first."
Huo Yian looked at the eight-treasure porridge in his grandfather's bowl with some confusion. Today was not Laba Festival, so why did his mother make eight-treasure porridge today?
He likes seafood porridge and doesn't like the sweet eight-treasure porridge. When Lin Man put the porridge in front of him, he smiled and refused: "Thank you, Mom, I don't want to drink eight-treasure porridge. I can put some noodles in the hot pot later."
Lin Man knew that her son didn’t like sweet porridge very much, but this was not ordinary eight-treasure porridge, and it contained rock sugar instead of brown sugar, so it was not so sweet.
So she gently advised: "An An, this eight-treasure porridge is delicious, why don't you try it first?"
Before Huo Yian could react, Huo Yixin said to him, "Second brother, since you don't like drinking it, give me this bowl!"

So Huo Yian brought the eight-treasure porridge to Huo Yixin and said, "Sister, shout!"
Lin Man looked at everyone, shook her head slightly with a gentle smile on her face, then picked up the spoon gracefully and scooped a full bowl of steaming porridge for Huo Yiwen, Huo Rou and Huo Qingci in turn.
Huo Li, who was sitting nearby, waited patiently for the porridge to cool down a little before he carefully picked up the bowl, put it close to his mouth and blew gently a few times, then began to drink the porridge in small sips.
However, when the warm porridge slid down his throat and into his stomach, he was suddenly stunned.
"This... the taste of this porridge..." Huo Li widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe the wonderful taste he tasted.
Hearing Huo Li's words, Huo Qingci, who was about to eat the porridge, suddenly stopped holding the spoon and asked nervously: "Grandpa, what's wrong with the taste of this porridge? Is there something wrong?"
Huo Li took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and said slowly: "This porridge smells of a fresh and pleasant fragrance, and after drinking it, it tastes soft, sweet and delicious.
At this moment, I feel that all my meridians are unobstructed and I feel extremely comfortable. Xiao Man, what did you add to this porridge? Is the water used to cook the porridge ginseng water soaked with ginseng?"
After hearing this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but feel a little confused and curious.
Could it be that all the ingredients for cooking the porridge came from Manman's second space? With such a question in mind, he no longer hesitated and quickly picked up the spoon to scoop a large spoonful of porridge from the bowl and put it into his mouth.
As the sweet porridge was swallowed, Huo Qingci's heart was instantly filled with a storm of emotions, and the shock in his heart was simply beyond words.
At the same time, Huo Yiwen also picked up the spoon curiously, and couldn't wait to taste this amazing bowl of porridge himself.
"Wow, wow! This eight-treasure porridge is absolutely delicious."
The two little girls, Huo Yixin and Huo Rou, took a spoon and tasted it at the same time, saying in unison: "Well, this eight-treasure porridge is really delicious."
Huo Yian looked at everyone so excited, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
They never showed such expressions when drinking eight-treasure porridge in the past! Could it be that there was something special about tonight's eight-treasure porridge?
Could it be that the flavor was exceptionally delicious? Or was there something added to it? A series of questions swirled in his mind.
With full of curiosity, Huo Yian slowly stood up and decided to scoop a spoonful to taste it himself.
Just as he stretched out his hand and was about to pick up the spoon, Lin Man, who was standing beside him, was quick-witted and handed him the bowl of steaming eight-treasure porridge in front of her.
"An An, drink this bowl from mom. It's not that hot." Lin Man said gently.
Huo Yian was slightly stunned, then nodded gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Mom."
Then, he carefully took the bowl of eight-treasure porridge, sat back in his seat, and prepared to savor it carefully.
