Chapter 835 - 834: Chaos and Turmoil
Old Granny Zhang couldn’t help but swallow her saliva when she smelled the aroma, and she sat up.
She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece, and put it in her mouth. As soon as she chewed, her eyes lit up. Though Old Granny Zhang herself was skilled at making pickles, this kimchi was different. It was sour, spicy, and crunchy, making her mouth water.
"Quick, get me a bowl of porridge or noodle soup—" Old Granny Zhang said as she ate another piece, even feeding one to Wang Yongzhu.
When Wang Yongzhu first tasted the kimchi, the sourness made her close her eyes. But then the spiciness bloomed on her tongue, the mixture of sour and spicy combined with the crisp texture whetted her appetite.
Wang Yongzhu couldn’t help but glance at Old Madam Ding, surprised to find such a skilled artisan in this county town.
Upon hearing Old Granny Zhang ask for food, Old Madam Ding quickly agreed. She put her bundle in the room, and washed her hands to go into the kitchen to cook.
Old Granny Wu also hurried to help.
Watching the two women busy in the kitchen, Old Granny Zhang nodded with satisfaction. "These two women are not lazy at all."
Since it was just the four of them for lunch, Song Chongjin had already said there was no need to take food to the Academy today.
Old Madam Ding deftly made a bowl of noodle soup, cutting the cabbage leaves into small pieces and seasoning it lightly with sesame oil.
