If it was because she was embarra.s.sed...
The humiliating things that Chen Xiuxiu had done in front of him in recent years amounted to at least 800, if not 1000 incidents, so there was no reason for her to take the risks just for a few corn kernels.
"Ding, gained 9 experience points."
She had taken another bite in secret!
Jiangfeng placed the lid firmly on the pressure cooker and came out to take a look at the corn kernels on the table.
There was not much change. She should have eaten only one or two bits.
"I'm taking the food back." Jiang Feng said tentatively.
"Bring it back." Chen Xiuxiu's expression remained unchanged.
"Don't want to try it?" Jiang Feng decided to lure the enemy in.
"No!" Chen Xiuxiu stand was firm.
That was weird.
"I'll take a bowl and take the porridge out of the kitchen. I'll cook you a new batch in the evening." Jiang Feng said as he took the mixed corn on the table.
Jiang Feng deliberately slowed down his pace, and when he reached the door, he deliberately paused and glanced back secretly.
Chen Xiuxiu was looking down at her mobile phone.
She looked quite pretty with her head down, her bangs blocking her face.
Jiang Feng went back home leisurely while carrying the plates. There was no one at home. He chucked the dishes in the refrigerator and went straight to his room.
He opened the control panel. Jiang Feng wanted to see if he had made any progress in his task by getting Chen Xiuxiu's to eat until her stomach acted up today.
(Repeating Omitted Information)
Task Tip: Word of mouth is the key to develop a new store, the popularity is only limited to A University
2. [Neighbor's Wish] Chen Xiuxiu, Chen Duxiu's daughter, has been addicted to dieting recently. Please complete the neighbor's wish to help Chen Xiuxiu resume a normal diet.
Task Tip: Chen Xiuxiu has developed symptoms of bulimia due to excessive dieting and induced vomiting. Please hurry up. (Chen Xiuxiu likes to eat pickles that are slightly sour. Chen Xiuxiu has no resistance to food placed in front of her.)
Jiang Feng slapped his thigh. Say that earlier!
The reason why Chen Xiuxiu had no other food except for uncooked rice was not to lose weight, but because she could only lose weight by doing that.
He knew it, it was easy to change rivers and mountains, but hard to change a person's nature. How could Chen Xiuxiu, who had eaten everything within a ten-mile radius, suddenly turn into an immortal that barely toucheed food in just one year?
But her stomach was a big problem.
They were still good friends who had grown up together after all. He couldn't possibly place succulent fish and rich meat in front of Chen Xiuxiu all day to lure her to sneak them into her mouth just for the sake of completing his mission.
Drinking congee was better for her after all.
Congee could be divided into six or seven categories according to the raw materials, but only into clear congee, sweet congee, and salty congee when categorized according to taste. Each region had its own characteristics. Congee could be eaten for two months every day without repet.i.tion.
However, Jiang Feng only knew how to cook two types of congee - plain congee and healthy congee.
Congee did not exist in the cookbooks of the Jiang family.
Jiang Weiguo's pride in life was not the fact that he had four sons, but that he was able to provide his family with dry food back when every average family had liquids for meals. Even after the reform, the era of not having enough to eat and having to make do with liquids had pa.s.sed, and eating congee was no longer an embarra.s.sing matter. But congee had still not appeared in the cookbook of Jiang Weiguo.
If it wasn't for Jiang Feng's weak stomach, Jiang Jiankang would not have gone to the congee shop's old cook to learn a recipe for healthy congee.
Jiang Feng felt a tinge of pity that Jiang Jiankang had not learned more congee recipes when he went to learn from the old cook. If he had, he could entice Chen Xiuxiu back to a normal diet with his excellent congee cooking skills. But now...
He could only hope that she might have a unique taste and love plain congee.
He did not know whether the game's requirement to restore a normal diet was a small bowl of congee that could hold a few mouthfuls or a portion of congee in the huge bowl that Chen Duxiu had bought specially for Chen Xiuxiu when she was in her third year of middle school.
No, a huge basin.
In the afternoon, Jiang Feng brought the congee to the shop.
w.a.n.g Xiulian had not yet tried the congee cooked by her son. She brought it to her mouth excitedly, tasted it, and put down the spoon in silence.
The expression on her face was so serious that every piece of fat revealed her disappointment.
"It's been really hard on Xiuxiu, that poor child." w.a.n.g Xiulian sighed, she had not spoken casually just because this bowl of congee had been cooked by her own son.
Jiang Jiankang took a sip after her and nodded in accordance: "Xiuxiu had always been a kid with a good temper. If I had such congee when I was young, I would have flipped the table and slapped the chef."
Jiang Feng: ...
Don't you guys think you need to give your son some encouragement?
"This congee can't be given out as a free gift. Our shop has to stay open for another month. We'll drive all the guests away if we do that!" Comrade w.a.n.g Xiulian concluded with a statement. "Tonight, I'll see if the boy in the blue s.h.i.+rt from yesterday comes for dinner tonight. I will give it all to him. How dare he tell me that I am as fat as a pig. Let's see if I poison him to death! "
As she said that, w.a.n.g Xiulian patted Jiang Feng's right shoulder with her strong right hand, as if encouraging him: "Well done, son!"
Jiang Jiankang expressed his support for his wife's every decision: "That's right, how ineloquent of him, the pig has to always be ready for the slaughter."
Jiang Feng didn't know whether his heart or his shoulder ached more. However, looking at w.a.n.g Xiulian's expression that was gradually darkening as Jiang Jiankang was blabbering happily by himself, Jiang Feng felt better.
This serving of congee might be Jiang Jiankang's dinner.
He helped clean the shop, wiped down the tables that w.a.n.g Xiulian hadn't cleaned properly, washed the dishes, and prepared the vegetables. Jiang Feng returned home with the materials for cooking more congee in the evening.
He was going to make a Minced Pork Congee with Preserved Eggs!
Before that, he needed to first google a recipe to make Minced Pork Congee with Preserved Eggs.
After he had watched all kinds of videos about preparing the dish, Jiang Feng, who had rich experience in cooking, thought that it would be no problem. Tonight, he would have the opportunity to redeem himself and show Chen Xiuxiu his real congee cooking skills.
"Ding, received achievements: Diligent and Inquisitive."
Achievements!
Jiang Feng tapped the control panel open quickly.
Achievements: Diligent and Inquisitive (no attribute bonus)
Jiang Feng: ...
How stingy!
Even rewarding him with a supreme level Minced Pork Congee with Preserved Eggs, or a dish that could glow as a small reward would do. It had the cheek to be called an achievement without any attribute bonuses.
Pah!
