Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Face-Slapping (3 more)

How does it taste?

Inwardly, Jin Ruiyang cursed, "Damn, this is delicious."

Yet, his exterior remained perfectly calm and composed as he lifted his eyelids and evaluated in a measured tone, "Not bad."

Truly delicious food is loved by everyone, and even Jin Ruiyang couldn’t resist.

The family all knew about Jin Ruiyang’s bland personality, so receiving a "not bad" from him was already a highly esteemed assessment.

Having previously underestimated Butter Sauce, Xu Qiang didn’t dare show even a hint of disappointment towards the green bean cakes. After hearing Jin Ruiyang’s comment, he was even more eager to pinch off a piece to taste.

Xu Qiang took a huge bite, and the refreshing deliciousness was so overwhelming that he wished he could roar out loud.

"Mmm, mmm... delicious, so delicious, I knew it, whatever Cousin’s Wife makes is tasty."

Seeing Xu Qiang’s exaggerated performance, everyone else became eager to try and reached their sinful hands into the wooden box to grab a green bean cake.

Jin Ruibing was even more outrageous, grabbing three with one hand.

Elder Master Jin watched this group of hopeless cases, including Xu Qiang’s parents and the usually reticent parents of Jin Ruiyang, and coughed loudly in disapproval.

Elder Master Jin simply couldn’t bear to watch.

He coughed several times, but nobody paid him any attention, and soon after, he heard a group of no-goods making "Mmm, mmm" sounds.

Elder Master Jin was bewildered and glanced at the wooden box, now half-empty of green bean cakes—were they really that delicious?

Such sweet things, what’s so tasty about them?

He was actually more interested in the Butter Sauce that his grandson’s wife had mentioned could be mixed with noodles.

Before he could even ask a servant to cook some noodles, the next second, his troublesome daughter shoved a green bean cake into his mouth, "Dad, have a taste."

With some force, the green bean cake crumbled in his mouth, and suddenly, that fragrant flavor flooded his palate.

Elder Master Jin paused for a moment, then pressed his lips together and chewed slowly.

The explosive sweetness and smoothness instantly left Elder Master Jin in shock—delicious!

Elder Master Jin finished the piece in two bites and reached out eagerly for another, only to find—nothing.

Xu Niannian had made a total of 50 green bean cakes and took out 20, leaving only 30 cakes for shipping.

With ten people in the household, including the old and the young, it averaged out to about three per person, not to mention the green bean cakes were small.

Gone in just a few bites.

Elder Master Jin was immediately shocked.

Just as he was getting a taste, they were gone.

Watching the bunch of gluttons chowing down, Elder Master Jin’s face turned red with anger, and he roared, "Are you all reincarnated from pigs?"

His roar stopped everyone in their tracks.

Each person froze, turning to look at Elder Master Jin, whose face was flushed red, but he couldn’t bear to state the real reason.

A joke, getting mad over a bite to eat—does he still want his dignity?

So, everyone watched as Elder Master Jin’s lips twitched for a long while before he suddenly bellowed, "Such unsightly eating, you’re disgracing the Jin family name."

Hearing this, Xu Qiang’s family of four continued to wolf down their food. Oh, it had nothing to do with them—they were losing the Xu family’s face.

Jin Nanxi hesitated for two seconds, pondering whether she counted as a member of the Jin or Xu family.

After thinking it over and unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, she gave up. She was married, after all—she had no right to lose the Jin family’s face. She then unhesitatingly stuffed the last piece of green bean cake she had snatched into her mouth.

She shoved it in one bite, afraid that her troublesome son might come over and snatch it from her.

Elder Master Jin watched his daughter hesitating just a moment before stuffing that intact green bean cake into her mouth, and his old face twitched. His heart felt shattered.

What a terrible daughter, he didn’t want her anymore.

After Elder Master Jin’s shout, everyone suddenly realized a terrifying problem—the box was empty?

Thus, everyone’s gaze turned sharply towards Jin Ruibing, who had heartlessly grabbed three at the start.

It must be him who took the rest.

Jin Ruibing, feeling unjustly targeted, said bewilderedly, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Just then, Jin Ruiyang stood up gracefully, his demeanor always gentle and polite even towards his family, the epitome of a perfect gentleman.

"I’m going upstairs," he said, his voice unhurried and soothing as a gentle breeze, his tone soft and pleasant.

Jin Ruiyang’s parents said, "Go ahead."

Only after Jin Ruiyang had gone upstairs did Jin Ruibing scratch his head, "Why were big brother’s pockets bulging?"

Thinking of a possibility, Jin Ruibing cursed, "Don’t tell me the remaining green bean cakes were all taken by big brother?"

Everyone looked at Jin Ruibing as if he were an idiot.

A joke—anyone in the house might do such a thing, except for Jin Ruiyang.

Refined and cultivated, that was the unanimous assessment of Jin Ruiyang by both the outside world and his family.

Would he engage in such undignified behavior?

Didn’t everyone notice how composed he was when he first tasted such a delicious pastry? His expression was completely different from their voracious gobbling, okay?

Xu Qiang even went as far as to grind his teeth and say, "Jin Ruibing, you’re so greedy, eating so much yourself, and you still have the gall to blame your brother. Have some shame, won’t you."

Jin Ruibing, with an "I’m wronged" look on his face, appealed to heaven and earth that he truly had taken nothing.

The only servant who had seen Jin Ruiyang sneak the remaining mung bean cakes from the box into his pocket was standing in the corner, utterly dumbfounded.

Oh my goodness, Jin Ruiyang, always so kindly and courteous, had actually done such a thing.

Shocking!!!

Was this the esteemed second young master who was as unattainable as a flower on a high cliff?

It seemed as if she had suddenly unraveled a big family’s secret that no one else knew.

What to do? Could she be silenced for this?

The servant was anxious, debating whether to resign to save her own life.

The Elder Master Jin, unable to contain his anger, shouted at the servant, "Xiao Liu, go make me a bowl of noodles."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood what the old master intended and started raising their hands, "I want some too, I want some too."

Elsewhere, Jin Ruiyang, with the treasure in his bosom, went upstairs to his room, quietly took out the mung bean cakes from his pocket, and ceremoniously sat down at his desk.

Pulling out a book, he held it in one hand while the other hand picked up a mung bean cake and popped it into his mouth, one by one.

After six mung bean cakes, Jin Ruiyang still felt unsatisfied and pounded the book, designed for pretense with a fist, exclaiming, "Damn, that’s too fucking delicious."

No, he had something very important to do.

He must take a trip to Nancheng; he was becoming increasingly curious about Jin Yu’s fiancée.

With a firm resolve, Jin Ruiyang stepped out of his room, and a rich spicy aroma wafted up from downstairs.

Jin Ruiyang wavered for a moment, seeing the whole family, young and old, gathered around the dining table, enjoying the noodles mixed with Butter Sauce that Xu Niannian had sent over.

They didn’t call him?

Jin Ruiyang’s face darkened instantly. These beasts, forgetting their own Jin family members, had no sense of unity; how could they eat such delicious food without him?

Had they forgotten about him?

Jin Ruiyang’s heart shattered, clutching his chest in sorrow, the most outstanding descendant of the Jin family was receiving such treatment.

Smack.

What use was his excellence!

When Jin Ruiyang tasted the noodles seasoned with Butter Sauce, he was so delighted that tears ran down his cheeks.

The spicy sauce was rich, the mushrooms were full and elastic, and the beef flavor was robust and spicy.

The spiciness was exhilarating and addictive, making Jin Ruiyang want another bowl.

Just like him, everyone in the family was eating their heads down furiously.

There was no help for it, the fragrance of the Butter Sauce noodles exceeded their expectations.

After all, they were a clan that loved spicy food, and such thrillingly spicy and refreshing fare instantly captivated their taste buds.

It was even more extreme than when they ate the mung bean cakes.

Elder Master Jin took a moment to look up, only to see his beloved grandson weeping, and couldn’t help but ask, "Ruiyang, why are you crying?"

All family members looked up at Jin Ruiyang simultaneously.

Jin Ruiyang, who cared much about his image, would never admit he was moved to tears by his cravings.

Composed, he casually wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, and the man with an elegant and gentle smile spoke lightly, "It’s nothing, just a bit spicy."

So that was it.

Everyone understood immediately—it wasn’t crying; it was a normal physical reaction. And then everyone resumed their frenzied eating.

On that day, the entire Jin family, young and old, overindulged.

They all sat against the sofas, bellies full.

After a while, Xu Qiang, with some effort, lifted his neck and asked Jin Ruibing, Jin Xiaoni, and his own sister Xu Xiaoxia,

"Well? Still think I’m bragging and exaggerating?"

Jin Xiaoni waved her hand, just as tiredly responding, "Not at all, I’m utterly convinced."

Xu Qiang snorted, "I told you Cousin’s Wife’s cooking is great, and you didn’t believe me, huh... ignorant humans."

Jin Ruibing couldn’t stand to see him looking so smug and threw a cushion at him, "That’s all because of Cousin’s Wife’s skills; what does that have to do with you, so pleased with yourself for what reason?"
