Chapter 1078: This movement is not good_3
Patting Xiao Linshuang on the shoulder, Lao Fan raised his eyebrows and his smile was full of the cunning satisfaction of a successful scheme.
Lin Yuan gave a faint smile and didn’t take the little trick between these two to heart. Although she knew that Lao Fan was trying to get Xiao Linshuang out of the way so he could enjoy the delicious food by himself, she also knew that Lao Fan really did want Xiao Linshuang to go and learn a thing or two.
After spreading out all the egg dumplings, Lin Yuan also chopped some tomatoes and greens, and sliced some dried tofu brought from Zhuma Town, putting all these ingredients into the pot. When the pot came to a boil, she added some of the prepared egg dumplings, then made a batter with white flour and cooked a tomato and egg dumpling soup.
While making the soup, she also steamed a plate of egg dumplings and poured some sauce over them. As soon as they were out of the steamer, the aroma filled the air, tempting the taste buds of everyone present.
With more people to feed now, just these dishes wouldn’t suffice, but Lin Yuan no longer needed to cook everything herself. The regular dishes could be left to the Kitchen Ladies, while the unique secret recipes were dictated to Xiao He to cook.
Although Xiao He’s culinary skills weren’t as good as Lin Yuan’s, and the taste of the dishes somewhat inferior, the family had no complaints, always encouraging and praising her instead, which made Xiao He more confident and her cooking skills visibly improved.
Xiao Linshuang, who was still worrying about going to the eastern part of the city to secretly learn from Doctor Wang, cast her troubles aside as soon as the lunch was served.
After lunch, the little girl wiped her mouth, contentedly mumbling, "Today is the fifteenth of the first lunar month, you know. I heard Du Ruo say the Lantern Festival in the Capital city is so lively, especially after dark. I heard that in addition to food and jewelry, there are also many fun things to do on the streets. Oh right, there’s also vaudeville!"
Upon hearing the word ’vaudeville’, Xiao Linshuang got excited and jumped up from her stool, her eyes shone bright, "I’ve never seen a vaudeville show! Big sister, big sister, let’s go watch it!"
With a tug on her arm from Xiao Linshuang, Lin Yuan smiled with difficulty. If Xiao Linshuang knew she was going out with Xia Zheng, she would definitely want to come along, but if Lin Yuan didn’t take her, what excuse could she use?
Perhaps inspired by Xiao Linshuang’s energetic words, Lin Wei and Xiao He also looked very curious and gazed at Lin Yuan with anticipation, making it hard for Lin Yuan to refuse outright.
