Chapter 373 - 374: Why Not Beautify Yourself to the Heavens?
Wang Laozhu was even worried that if he ate slowly, he wouldn’t be able to get a second helping soon, so he just kept his head down and slurped the noodles, fearing that speaking two more words would waste precious time.
He just nodded casually and grunted a few times in response.
The people planning to mooch a meal also felt awkward; at a peasant family’s dinner, it wouldn’t matter much if you took a steamed bun and returned a pancake later. That seemed fair.
But the Wang Family was eating chicken soup noodles, with actual pieces of chicken visible and the noodles made of white flour—clearly they had gone the extra mile.
After eating such a meal, what could you offer in return?
So, after a couple more compliments and with the scent of chicken soup filling their senses, they slowly returned to their own fields, eating the rice from their own bowls.
In no time at all, the two large basins of noodles were wiped clean.
After Song Chongjin finished his noodles, he washed his bowl clean in the ditch and scooped himself a bowl of mung bean soup. With a sip, he tasted its sweetness and a hint of coolness. Noticing beads of water on the exterior of the wooden barrel, he guessed it must have been chilled in well water.
On such a hot day, after a full meal, drinking a bowl of this chilling mung bean soup was just too satisfying.
Seeing Song Chongjin drink the mung bean soup, the other members of the Wang Family also went to rinse their bowls before serving themselves. However, someone like Wang Yonggui, who wasn’t particular, simply scooped it directly into his bowl and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
He smacked his lips and said, "Today’s noodles are delicious! Mom, who made them? They don’t seem like Xiao Lian’s handiwork. Could it be my sister-in-law’s?"
