Chapter 739 - 738 Discussion
Lady Lin couldn’t maintain her composure, clung to the door frame and said with a moan, "I’m saying, Laosi’s house, you’re being unreasonable! This isn’t your fourth room’s house, why are you pushing me around?"
Lady Jiang whispered from behind, "Older sister, if you delay our cooking any longer, our mother will have nothing to eat after she’s done with her morning wash—"
That’s when Lady Lin remembered that both Grandma Taishui and Patrol Sea Yaksha, her little sister-in-law, had returned to town; she really had to behave herself.
She immediately became quiet and left with an embarrassed expression.
The remaining sisters-in-law were both adept and quick with their hands, and without any meat or fish to prepare, the cooking was rather simple.
Due to the tight schedule, they simply made scallion egg pancakes and served them with wild vegetables picked from the mountain that very morning.
They also made a tofu casserole with mushrooms and stir-fried various green vegetables of spring, as well as a large bowl of egg sauce. Lastly, they prepared a light and clear soup with the tenderest wolfberry sprouts.
The meal, when brought to the table, looked refreshingly delicious and very appealing.
Not to mention anything else, among the Wang family’s daughters-in-law, Lady Jiang’s cooking skills were especially reliable. Today, she had put even more effort into it, and the aroma made everyone, both adults and children, involuntarily swallow their saliva.
Lady Lin looked at the assortment of dishes on the table, their oily sheen, and discreetly licked her lips.
These days, she too had been eating nothing but sorghum flour and sweet potatoes with boiled wild vegetables, her stomach lacking the richness of oil, and it had been tough to endure.
