Chapter 29 An Junxi’s Cooking Skills
"My home is a bit far away, you have to take an eleven-hour train ride, there is no high-speed train. It is a small mountain village with beautiful scenery, just recently developed for tourism. My parents run a farm there, raising chickens and ducks, planting fruit trees, and cooking local green dishes for tourists."
Gu Jinxiu listened and asked, "Is it the kind of farm where you can pick your own fruit? Then your parents’ cooking must be delicious, right?"
An Junxi saw his eager look and tapped his nose with a smile, "I heard from Sister He that you are very picky about food, and you don’t like eating at all. How come now, just hearing it, makes you so eager?"
Gu Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed, "That’s because their cooking is not good. A year ago, my father took me to Grandpa Yu’s farm. You could pick fruit and fish there, and even ride horses. It was so much fun! Grandma Yu’s cooking is delicious. I ate two bowls of rice! That was the only time my father took me out to play!"
His eyes sparkled like jewels.
An Junxi felt a pang of sadness. Gu Jinxiu wasn’t thinking the food there was especially good; it was because his father took him to play.
Poor baby.
An Junxi couldn’t help but give him a bear hug, "Since you want to go out and play, I’ll try to persuade your father to take you out once."
Gu Jinxiu wasn’t used to being hugged like this by An Junxi, but hearing her promise made him endure without pulling away. Well, a hug is just a hug! Some sacrifices are worth it!
He asked, "Can Sister Jun Xi cook the farm dishes?"
