Chapter 99 - 20 Jiang Shan and Jiang Liang_2
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "The canteen brought in a batch of cows, and they’re selling the tripe in the vegetable market. I saw it was fresh, so I bought some to take back. I’m not fond of this stuff, but you have to eat it all."
In fact, not just tripe, but any kind of animal offal she didn’t really like to eat.
Speaking of this, she began feeding Little Niangao – one spoonful of rice paste with one spoonful of vegetables – lately, he’d been drinking less milk, and though he wasn’t ready for rice, he was eating more and more vegetables, like today’s braised eggplant and fish head tofu soup which he could have.
What relieved Lin Xiaoguai was that her son wasn’t a fussy eater. Thinking back, she had several nephews and nieces who needed chasing around during meals, and she couldn’t recall how much of a headache that was.
You wouldn’t believe it, but Shen Chi actually really enjoyed eating tripe, devouring it one chopstick-full after another, quickly finishing the small plate, whereas more than half of the sweet and sour ribs were left.
She had no choice, Shen Chi and most people of the time preferred fatty meat. Even if the sweet and sour ribs were well-seasoned, they didn’t win his affection, and in the canteen, he chose this dish because Lin Xiaoguai liked it.
This meal, Shen Chi ate especially much. Afterward, he rubbed his stomach saying, "The next three days are going to be tough."
"How so, is the food not good during your exercises?" Lin Xiaoguai frowned slightly.
