Chapter 76: Excellent Taste
Upon hearing Chen Youyou speak, Su Yuanrui immediately became happy and ran to her side.
Children's emotions come and go quickly. In just a few minutes, the two were playing together again, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that the two children were playing well, Chen Yuan put on his apron with peace of mind and went into the kitchen.
Su Qingxue followed her inside.
As the spatula rose and fell, a delicious aroma quickly filled the kitchen.
It wasn't the overpowering, strong aroma of rich, dark sauces, but rather a warm, mellow grain fragrance.
The unique sweet aroma of millet wafted out from under the door.
Meanwhile, in the clay pot on the stove, rice porridge was bubbling away.
The millet porridge gradually turned golden and thick, with a thin and thick layer of rice oil floating on the surface.
"Wow... Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook at making porridge. It looks delicious." Su Qingxue flattered her at the right time.
Chen Yuan knew very well that this was thanks to the system's support.
The millet he bought was the most common kind.
But with the system's support, the millet has a warm and lustrous color, and it looks crystal clear under the light. The grains quickly open up when cooked, and most importantly, the rich aroma of the grains hits you right in the head.
While the porridge was cooking, Chen Yuan quickly stir-fried two plates of refreshing side dishes.
One dish is a plate of sweet and refreshing garlic broccoli, cooked to perfection.
One dish is a cold salad of wood ear mushrooms and cucumber strips, which looks crystal clear and refreshing, and the seasonings are extremely simple.
"Dinner's ready!"
A simple dining table is placed in the center of the living room, with four bowls and chopsticks neatly arranged.
The two children were starving.
After Su Qingxue helped them wash their hands, she couldn't wait to sit down at the table.
Su Qingxue sat down next to Chen Yuan, her gaze gentle and filled with an almost imperceptible happiness.
Chen Yuan ladled the golden rice porridge into four bowls, handed one to Su Yuanrui first, and said softly.
"Try this. If you don't like it, eat more vegetables. If you like it, drink more, okay?"
"Okay~"
Chen Yuan's approach of not forcing and respecting the child quickly won Su Yuanrui's favor and trust.
Although Su Yuanrui didn't particularly like drinking porridge, for some reason, he involuntarily scooped up a spoonful and slowly put it into his mouth.
The warm, thick, and fragrant porridge glides down your throat.
The millet grains have been cooked until they bloom and melt in your mouth, with almost no grainy texture.
That smooth feeling is like a warm current sliding directly from the tip of the tongue into the stomach, with a silky and dense texture and a faint sweet fragrance.
The top layer of rice oil coats every grain of rice, and the feeling it brings from the carbohydrates is different from anything else—it's a solid and blissful sense of satisfaction.
"Delicious!"
Su Yuanrui couldn't help but say, and the spoon went into the bowl again without hesitation this time.
Seeing her nephew eating so heartily, Su Qingxue picked up another piece of broccoli and put it in his bowl. Of course, to be fair, she also picked up a piece for Chen Youyou.
"Try this, this broccoli is so delicious!"
Su Yuanrui looked at the broccoli again, and this time without any hesitation or pause, he immediately scooped it up and put it in his mouth.
Take a bite and you can immediately feel the crispness and refreshing aroma.
Perhaps because he was hungry, he felt that the broccoli he ate at night was even tastier than the broccoli he ate at noon.
Then it was as if he had flipped a switch.
A mouthful of porridge and a bite of vegetables.
Su Yuanrui didn't care about anything else, he just focused on eating, the spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl with a "clink-clink" sound. And the rhythm was getting faster and faster.
Even Chen Youyou, who was eating heartily on the side, was dumbfounded.
He even imitated an adult's tone and spoke to Su Yuanrui.
"Rui Rui, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Su Qingxue was also enjoying her meal. Chen Yuan's vegetarian cooking skills were truly amazing; even a simple stir-fry could turn out incredibly delicious.
She couldn't help but praise, "Senior brother, your cooking skills are amazing! Everything you make tastes so delicious, even the porridge you make is better than what you get outside."
After saying that, Su Qingxue took another big gulp of porridge, feeling quite satisfied.
Without exaggeration, it tastes much better than what their hired chef makes.
Every sip felt like a complete healing, filled with happiness and contentment.
"Senior brother, your cooking is so delicious! I can hardly live without you anymore. I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat your cooking every day."
"Then you're welcome to come and eat here often, anytime."
Chen Yuan was happy to see the two children eating so happily.
"The main problem is that my child usually has a poor appetite. This rice is good quality and has been cooked for a long time, so it's especially good for my child's spleen and stomach."
"Drinking millet porridge regularly is not only good for the stomach, but also very nutritious, making it especially suitable for children."
In fact, Chen Yuan knew very well what was going on.
This has little to do with the heat or the cooking time; the fact that it's cooked to this state is entirely thanks to the system.
With the system's support, this pot of porridge is infused with reassuring energy.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but with each bite, he felt the tension in his body gradually disappear, replaced by an indescribable warmth.
A short while later.
Su Yuanrui had finished his bowl and said, holding up the empty bowl.
"Uncle, may I have a little more?"
"sure."
Chen Yuan was worried that Su Yuanrui would overeat, so he only served him half a bowl.
That evening, Su Yanrui drank it all in just a few big gulps. After finishing, he let out a small burp, his face flushed, and his eyes were full of pure satisfaction.
"Auntie, I'm full."
Su Yuanrui patted his round little belly.
If he hadn't been so full, he definitely would have eaten another bowl!
"If you're full, don't eat anymore. Sit down and rest for a while. We'll go home later, okay?" Su Qingxue said.
Su Yuanrui raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and he looked a little embarrassed. His voice also became softer.
"Auntie, can I still drink this tomorrow?"
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled.
"Of course you can. Just have your aunt come and get it whenever you want to drink it."
"Really, Uncle?!"
"Of course it's true."
After receiving an affirmative reply from Chen Yuan.
Su Yuanrui was overjoyed; he couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive!
At the same time, Chen Yuan became incredibly tall and imposing in his mind, even shining with golden light.
After finishing the meal.
Chen Yuan escorted the aunt and niece downstairs.
They also loaded most of a pot of millet porridge, along with the clay pot, into the car.
"Just return it to me tomorrow."
"Remember to send me a message when you get home."
"it is good."
