Chapter 211: Two hundred eleven Ready to meet father-in-law_1

Because Ji Guangsheng had been sick, they really hadn’t skimped on making this Matsutake Porridge at home, but even so, it never tasted as good as when Uncle Guang made it.

The aroma was rich and enduring without being sickly; the rice was soft and glutinous with a hint of sweetness.

Compared to Uncle Guang, the chef they’d specially hired from a restaurant for a handsome sum could only make something that was barely edible. The difference in taste was like night and day.

Before Uncle Guang even spoke, Tangtang proudly began showing off as if she were presenting a treasure.

"These are all made by my daddy. Daddy’s cooking is super-duper amazing!"

The little one was practically Uncle Guang’s biggest fan and fervent cheerleader.

Her cute and tsundere demeanor brought laughter to everyone present.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious.

"It seems Tangtang really loves her daddy, huh?" Wu Shuhui said with a gentle smile.

"Daddy is the best daddy in the world, Tangtang likes daddy the most!" Tangtang said, her mouth smeared with rice, earnest eyes glistening with sincerity.

Uncle Guang was both laughing and crying. He extended his chopsticks and placed some fish in Ji Pianran’s bowl with a tender tone, "Today we have clear broth. Once you are fully recovered, we’ll make spicy boiled fish. Please bear with this for now."

Ji Pianran smiled warmly, "Even the clear broth is delicious. Everything you make is good."

She was very grateful for Uncle Guang’s thoughtful care all along.

Wu Shuhui watched this heartwarming scene, unable to stop herself from sighing.

In all the years she had been married to Ji Guangsheng, he had rarely ever served her food. But Uncle Guang’s actions with his daughter were so practiced and natural, as if the husband and wife had long been accustomed to such gestures.

He really must love his daughter a lot, right?

With this thought, Wu Shuhui couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth upward, happy for her daughter.

After Uncle Guang had served Ji Pianran, he waved Tangtang over.

"Come here, how about daddy feeds you?"

Upon hearing someone would peel the fish for her, the little one beamed from ear to ear, her eyes hidden by her wide smile.

She immediately stood on tiptoes and walked over, "Tangtang loves daddy’s fish!"

While caring for the mother and daughter, Uncle Guang also remembered to remind Wu Shuhui and Uncle Guang.

"I didn’t know you were coming, and didn’t prepare in advance. These are just what Pianran and Tangtang usually like. Next time you come, I’ll prepare in advance."

Wu Shuhui took a piece of stir-fried meat and smiled, "No need, no need, this is all very nice."

Her daughter and granddaughter being happy was better than anything else.

"This stir-fried meat is really good."

Having just tasted the stir-fried meat, Wu Shuhui couldn’t resist praising it right away.

Seeing his wife commend the food, Uncle Guang also picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Wow, this is really delicious, even better than a five-star hotel!"

Uncle Guang’s cooking was truly delectable!

Uncle Guang, who had been previously worried that the Miss might be mistreated, now felt that his concerns were completely unnecessary.

With Uncle Guang’s culinary skills, the Miss had married someone who ensured she was never mistreated when it came to food.

Between the Matsutake Porridge and the fish soup, life was too good.

The little one gobbled down the Ginseng Matsutake Porridge and ate quite a bit of fish, ballooning her little tummy in no time.

She patted her round belly.

After licking off the grains of rice at the corners of her mouth, she looked up at Uncle Guang with a milky voice, "Daddy, I’m about to burst!"

Uncle Guang looked at her with a smiling gaze, "Then go out and play in the yard for a while, it will settle down after a bit of play~"

Little kids have small appetites; they’re full after just a few bites.

As for Uncle Guang, he felt like he couldn’t get full today no matter what, having already served himself two bowls of rice. The more he ate, the more delicious it became.

In fact, his belt was nearly bursting.

He looked at the remaining half-bowl of porridge from Tangtang and said with a smile, "Wasting food is bad, let me help her finish it!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Pianran picked up Tangtang’s bowl and, without any disgust, poured the remaining porridge into her own bowl.

Ji Pianran couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Uncle Guang.

"Uncle Guang, there’s more at home, take your time eating, and have some more fish soup," she said.

The fish that Gu Chen made tasted great, but the fish soup was truly the most outstanding.

It was incredibly delicious.

Uncle Guang nodded, chuckled, and said, "Don’t worry miss, I won’t shortchange myself!"

With food this delicious, he definitely needed to eat more.

Wu Shuhui also ate quite a bit today; her son-in-law’s cooking skills were genuinely impressive.

...

After the four people had finished their meal, Gu Chen began to collect the dishes.

Seeing Gu Chen cleaning up, Uncle Guang also stood up to help. After all, having eaten so much, it really needed to be worked off for better digestion.

The two men carried dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Uncle Guang put the plates into the pot, which was empty, then added some cold water, his face showing a troubled expression.

"This porridge you made is really good, could you make a bowl for Mr. Ji as well, so I can take it home to him?" he asked.

Mr. Ji consumed no small number of tonics every day, but he hardly ate a few bites. Only Gu Chen’s Matsutake Porridge enticed Mr. Ji into looking forward to a second helping after the first. Eating more of it would naturally improve his health!

After all, he was the old employer, and Uncle Guang’s thoughts were always with Ji Guangsheng.

Gu Chen nodded, with a bittersweet smile. "That’s no problem at all," he said.

Making a meal for his father-in-law was only natural, wasn’t it?

Having married his daughter, beautiful as a flower, how could he not even offer a bowl of porridge? That would simply be too miserly.

Gu Chen was not that kind of person!

But before that, he had a little task to take care of.

And that was planting seeds.

He had to scatter the seeds into the Spirit Field as soon as possible. After all, the season had already started several days ago, and the lands he had taken on were costly; it would be a waste to leave them fallow.

He needed to act quickly to activate the system to exchange for a sufficient number of seeds.

"Oh, Uncle, you help me with the dishes, I need to go to the restroom," Gu Chen said with a smile.

Uncle Guang looked at him with a bittersweet smile and said, "You, young man, really know how to get the best deal. Rest assured, I’ll clean them thoroughly!"

Gu Chen nodded, looking cheery as he picked up his things and headed to the front room. He tucked the seeds into his pocket and then left for the direction of the restroom.

In reality, he wasn’t heading for the restroom, but into the nearby woods.

Following that, he slipped into the mystical space.

Looking at the piles of wolfberries on the ground and the cherries that had fallen to the earth.

Gu Chen thought about it, Ji Pianran was going to meet Mr. Ji, so he couldn’t be stingy; he had to bring a bit of everything available in the Spirit Field.

Although he wasn’t as wealthy as they were, Gu Chen’s efforts were beyond reproach.

Thinking this, he took out spinach and some lettuce seeds and immediately began to sow them into the space.

He then watered them, as usual, with Spirit Spring Water.

After attending to these tasks, he turned his attention to the lush ginseng.

The ginseng must have been growing in the field for about forty to fifty days by now, so they should be considered seven to eight-hundred-year-old ginsengs. He had only harvested one ginseng before, giving it to Pian Ran to eat two slices a day.

Surprisingly, it had cured her postnatal problems, so this ginseng would likely be very beneficial for her father’s ailments as well.

Without hesitation, Gu Chen squatted down, picked the best-looking one, and delicately dug the Spirit Field soil away, carefully pulling it out.

These things would serve as his gifts upon meeting them.

After all, the Ji Family had seen almost everything; the things he bought might not necessarily be impressive. It was better to take from the space.
