479 Lantern Festival

Fu Zhengtu took his growing brother and son to the cafeteria for breakfast. They were all stared at along the way and attracted a lot of attention.

The gentlemen of the Fu family had long been accustomed to this, and from the oldest to the youngest, they all went straight to the dining hall without looking around.

"Dad, your cafeteria is so big, what kind of food do you have?"

Fu Zhengtu was silent for a moment. In fact, he always ate the same few dishes. He didn't know what was delicious. Anyway, they were all worse than the food at home:

"What do you want to eat?"

Chen Chen: "I want to eat something I haven't eaten before!"

Fu Zhengtu: "Would you like to try some soy milk and stir-fried liver? Or brined?"

Anyway, he has never tried it. He heard from local colleagues that if you don’t eat it one day, you will feel energetic. It should be delicious, right?

Chen Chen was eager to try: "Okay, okay, I want both!"

Fu Yuanhang shook his head vigorously: "I don't want it! I just want a bowl of noodles!"

Chen Chen turned around and said, "Uncle, you have to be brave enough to try new things."

Fu Yuanhang: "I've tried it, it's not to my taste, I suggest you don't try it lightly."

Chen Chen waved his hands: "Nonono, I haven't tried them all, how do I know if they suit my taste?"

As they were talking, the dishes Fu Zhengtu mentioned were already on the table.

For the three gentlemen, the food on the table was a bit hard to describe, except for Fu Yuanhang's noodles, which were common and looked normal to them...

Chenchen wrinkled his little nose and got close to the bean juice to smell it:

"Dad, is this soy milk bad? The color is different from the one mom grinds, but why does it smell bad? Hey, didn't brother Yangyang give us this before, but we didn't try it?"

Fu Zhengtu's brows were also deeply wrinkled. He had never dared to try this thing. He looked around and saw that they were all the same color. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that they tasted very good.

"Maybe it's like the stinky tofu my mom makes. It smells bad but tastes good. Don't you want to try something new? Try it?"

Fu Yuanhang moved his noodles aside and said, "Brother, can I sit at the next table? I'm not used to the smell."

Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Go ahead." He was not used to the smell either.

Brave Chenchen was ready to die, and took a small sip while pinching his nose.

It was still so "stinky" that I was shaking all over, my beautiful facial features were wrinkled into a mess, and I almost vomited:

"Dad, I tried it bravely. I don't know how to appreciate the taste. Let's leave it to those who know how to appreciate it. I'd better go back and make some soy milk with Mom."

Fu Zhengtu pinched his aching brows. Even though he was not a picky eater, he was disgusted by the taste.

But I had already bought it and couldn't waste food, so I just gulped it down in one gulp, just like drinking Chinese medicine.

The sour and refreshing taste rushed straight to Tianlinggai, and Master Fu almost felt nauseous.

Chen Chen gave his father a thumbs up: "Dad is so brave, he dares to drink such a smelly thing!"

Fu Zhengtu didn't dare to speak and made a gesture of invitation, letting Chenchen eat other things.

Chenchen tasted some fried liver, and his frown never relaxed. He then tasted some salted pork—

Life is not easy, dust and sigh.

"Dad, I think it's not the food. It's the cooking skills of mom and grandma that have spoiled our stomachs. It's true that only things at home are the most delicious in this world."

Chen Chen slapped his head and said, "I remember now, I also brought the glutinous rice balls made by my mother!

Mom said we have to eat glutinous rice balls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Dad, I won’t eat these. I’ll ask the kitchen lady to make glutinous rice balls for us.”

After Chenchen finished speaking, he ran away with his small backpack on his back!

Fu Zhengtu: “…………”

He raised his hand and pinched his aching brow. Isn't this what you ordered?

Fu Yuanhang moved back holding the bowl of noodles: "I have suggested that you order something else. It's not that the food is bad, it's that we are not used to it. My sister-in-law and I have been fooled before."

Fu Zhengtu moved the two bowls to the middle with a blank expression: "Pick one bowl, I can't finish it."

Fu Yuanhang shook his head vigorously: "Brother, it's not that I won't help you, it's that the portions in your cafeteria are too large. Look at my noodles, it's a big bowl that's so solid, I almost couldn't finish it."

Fu Zhengtu moved Fu Yuanhang's noodles in front of him and said, "I stayed up all night last night and haven't eaten yet. Let me eat something normal to suppress the taste of the soy milk. If you can eat these, eat some. If you can't, forget it."

Fu Yuanhang resigned himself to moving the halogen over and said, "Just eat it. It's okay to eat it once, and it's okay to eat it twice."

Maybe it was because he got used to it or the chefs here were just better, but this time he didn’t think the food was that bad.

The two brothers have just finished the food on the table.

Chenchen came back at the right time with a smile on his face. Following behind him was the chef in the kitchen, holding Chenchen's glutinous rice balls in her hands.

The kitchen staff actually cooked glutinous rice balls for Chen Chen and brought them to him personally. I don’t know how he did it.

"Come on, be careful, be careful of the burns."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

The chef smiled broadly: "You're welcome, Chen Chen."

After that, she whispered in the boy's ear: "Taste it first to see if it's sweet enough. If it's not sweet enough, I'll add some more sugar water for you."

Chen Chen nodded: "I've tried it, it's more than enough. Be careful when you eat it, I put copper coins inside, whoever eats it will have good luck!"

The chef said: "I understand. Please enjoy your meal."

Chen Chen: "Goodbye, Auntie. The bean juice, fried liver and broth in your cafeteria are all very authentic. Look how much my dad and uncle love them. They ate them all up!"

The chef smiled so hard that her teeth were showing:

"You know what you are talking about. These are all the secret recipes passed down from our chefs. The food you eat out there won't taste as authentic as ours."

Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang: "......???"

"Dad, hurry up and eat the glutinous rice balls. I put a lot of copper coins in them. Whoever eats the most copper coins will have good luck!"

Fu Zhengtu pinched his painful brows and said, "Dad is too full and can't eat any more for now. You guys eat first."

Fu Yuanhang: "I'm also too full, Chenchen, you eat first."

Chenchen’s favorite is glutinous rice balls with black sesame filling. The filling prepared by her mother is sweet and smooth.

"Then I'm welcome."

The plump white glutinous rice balls look very tempting. Children take a small bite first, wait for the black sesame filling to flow out, blow it a little to cool it down, and then put it into their mouths in one bite.

"It's fragrant, sweet and smooth. My mom's cooking is the best. It's so delicious!"

Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang: "…………"

Who was it just now who wanted to try something new and insisted on ordering stir-fried liver with bean juice and braised pork, but then didn't eat them after ordering them!

The child was very conscientious. He cooled the glutinous rice balls, ate one for himself, fed one to his father, and then fed one to his uncle.

While eating, he vividly recounted to his father and uncle what happened in the old principal's office yesterday.

Fu Zhengtu, who should have been very tired after working overtime all night, was first awakened by the soy milk, then distracted by his son's vivid narration, and almost broke his teeth because of the copper money Yuanxiao wrapped by his son.

Mr. Fu found the Lantern Festival in 1978 very unforgettable.
