Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 683
When Sister Chen came over, Xinyan had already finished her task and was standing in front of the stove, preparing to serve chicken soup into a bowl.
Seeing Sister Chen enter, she said, "This is the chicken soup I made yesterday. I’ll serve a bowl and take it over to Granny Tong next door, and we’ll drink the rest later."
As she finished her sentence, Jinxuan had also moved all the things. Xinyan called softly from outside, "Jinxuan, come have a bowl of chicken soup first."
Afraid he would decline as it was still early, she added, "I made it myself last night."
He Jinxuan, upon hearing it was made by Xinyan herself, said, "Alright, I’ll have a bowl before leaving."
Xinyan served him a bowl and set it aside, then prepared some warm water for him, "Wash your hands before drinking, I’ll take this bowl next door."
After saying that, Xinyan carried the chicken soup over to the Tong Family. Don’t underestimate this bowl of chicken soup, it was made from chickens raised in the space, and even the broth was made using Space Stream Water.
The aroma, needless to say, was so fragrant that just smelling it made one want to swallow.
Sister Chen planned to ask Xinyan for her chicken soup recipe once she returns, as the smell was simply too enticing.
When Xinyan delivered the chicken soup, the Tong Family’s youngest daughter-in-law was in the courtyard. Seeing Xinyan enter, she greeted her with a smile, "Xinyan is here, how’s Aunt Zhang? I was thinking of visiting her later."
As Xinyan walked in, she replied, "She’s quite okay, I just had her lie down to rest and gather some strength to later enjoy the sauerkraut dumplings Granny Tong made."
Her words made the Tong Family’s youngest daughter-in-law laugh, "Your Granny Tong started preparing once she heard Aunt Zhang was coming back this afternoon. She’s been thinking about Aunt Zhang every time she rests these days."
Mrs. Tong, busy in the kitchen, chimed in, "I’ve grown used to having your Aunt Zhang around. Without her these days, I haven’t had anyone to talk to, naturally, I miss her."
At this moment, the Tong Family’s youngest daughter-in-law caught the scent of chicken soup in the air, "Xinyan, what did you bring?"
Xinyan smiled, "I thought since Granny Zhang was being discharged today, I made a batch of chicken soup last night. It’s just been heated up, and here’s a bowl for you to try my cooking."
The Tong Family’s youngest daughter-in-law looked at the bowl in Xinyan’s hand and said sheepishly, "Aren’t we just taking resources from Granny Zhang? That would be embarrassing."
In her heart, she thought, why does this chicken soup smell so good?
It makes one drool.
Just then, Old Mrs. Tong came out of the kitchen, having heard Xinyan’s words, "Take this chicken soup back to strengthen your Granny Zhang. We can’t be competing with a patient for nutrition, be sensible."
Xinyan laughed, "Grandma Tong, I made plenty, really enough to drink. Besides, I can’t just let it sit until the next meal. Let her enjoy it; I’ve also got three fish in the kitchen, plenty of nutrition for my Granny Zhang."
Seeing Xinyan had said so, Old Mrs. Tong couldn’t refuse, knowing if she didn’t accept the chicken soup, this girl probably wouldn’t eat the dumplings later.
She had to accept it with a smile, "Granny Tong will accept this chicken soup; later, you have to eat more dumplings and see if Granny Tong’s filling is authentic enough."
Xinyan readily agreed, "Alright, I’ll eat more then."
Seeing Grandma Tong accept the chicken soup and that the dumplings were done, with nothing left for her to help with, Xinyan said, "Grandma Tong, I’ll head back now."
Old Mrs. Tong gestured with her hand, "Go on, go on, you go be busy, take good care of your Granny Zhang, the dumplings will be ready soon."
