Chapter 16: Red-braised Soybean Pig Trotters (II)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re eating quite well, not a single one is left.” Mu Rongcheng cast a meaningfully cold look at Mu Zi.
Red-braised soybean pig trotters were Su Zi’s favorite, and he initially intended to test Xu Shihan with it.
However, Mu Zi finished them.
“Uh…” Mu Zi sucked her chopsticks, then blinked her clear eyes as she said playfully, “Brother, pig trotters are good for a woman’s beauty, so women should eat it.”
“What kind of woman are you?” Mu Rongcheng scorned.
“A growing woman.” Mu Zi’s mood was not ruined at all due to the delicious food, so she smiled.
When she smiled, she resembled a peach blossom that bloomed in early spring, which made her look sweet and pure. She also looked playful due to her young age and this made her very charming.
Mu Rongcheng could not remember how long it had been since his younger sister smiled. He somehow felt that her current bearing was very familiar…
Out of curiosity, he asked, “Why didn’t you eat that dish?”
Among the sumptuous dishes, not all were Su Zi’s favorite because there was one in particular that she did not eat.
Mu Zi looked at the stir-fried loofah gourds with garlic in front of her.
She did not eat loofah gourd.
That was because she once heard a joke that loofah gourds were like green mucus, and she never looked at them the same since…
Stir-fried loofah gourds were green, soft, and slimy. Even their texture… Was similar to mucus.
Bai Wei asked when she saw Mu Zi staring at the dish without eating it, “Why? Do you not like this? You should eat some vegetables occasionally and don’t be picky with your food so that you’ll get a balanced diet…”
Honestly, the loofah gourds with garlic cooked by Bai Wei looked great.
They were cut into sections and were neatly placed on the plate. Clear glass noodles were placed at the bottom, whereas carrot cubes were placed on top. They formed a color contrast with the green loofah gourds, which made the dish look delicious.
Perhaps the loofah gourds were cooked until they were too slimy and soft, or perhaps Mu Zi had confidence in Bai Wei’s cooking that she actually reached out her chopsticks to pick one up!
Mu Rongcheng stared at her until she swallowed the loofah gourds…
“Mom, every dish you made is delicious,” Mu Zi commented with a smile.
Bai Wei was elated when she heard her daughter’s sweet words!
At the same time, Mu Rongcheng’s eyes turned cold.
Mu Zi felt that Mu Rongcheng was a lunatic as he was always moody.
“Brother, aren’t you eating?” She wanted to mock him because he stared at her for a long time. “Are you feeling full from being angry because you argued with your girlfriend?”
“You can eat them.” Mu Rongcheng glanced at her. “You’ll grow taller if you eat more, Short Onion.”
Mu Zi squinted her eyes. “Thin Toothpick.”
Both siblings activated their attack mode due to a disagreement.
“Say it again?!” Mu Rongcheng raged.
“Mom!” Mu Zi quickly went to Bai Wei.
Bai Wei felt troubled. While protecting Mu Zi, she said to Mu Rongcheng with a twisted face, “Why are you losing your temper? Zizi was only joking with you!”
Mu Rongcheng roared angrily, “She said that I’m—”
The words were simply insults for a man!
“I know, she just said that you’re thin, right?” The kind Bai Wei could not figure out the meaning behind those words, thus she responded confidently, “But you called her short first. Rongcheng, you’re the elder brother, so you shouldn’t talk to your younger sister like that.”
Mu Zi hid behind Bai Wei and raised her chin at Mu Rongcheng to provoke him.
Feeling extremely enraged, he pointed at Mu Zi and shouted, “Mom! Why do you spoil her so much?”
Bai Wei tried to persuade him nicely, “Zizi’s still young…”
Mu Zi held her bowl to eat another pig trotter at ease behind Bai Wei.
