102 Chapter 101, Stew
It was summer now, and a lively monkey-like Ji Zi’ang loved to move around. His body smelled terribly after a day.
Li Yong came over occasionally, so he had a set of clothes at home. Hearing this, he immediately said, “Zixuan, Zi’ang, take your clothes, let’s go take a bath.”
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang excitedly took their clothes and ran to take a bath with Li Yong.
Occasionally, the sound of three people fighting could be heard from the bathroom. Li Xu helplessly shook her head.
After resting on the sofa for a while, Li Xu went to the kitchen and washed the dishes for dinner.
When she was done washing the dishes, Li Yong and the other two came out. The three of them seemed to have some secret. After they came out, they went straight to the bedroom and muttered something to each other.
Li Xu had been busy for the whole day and was also extremely tired. She did not have the mood to care about the three of them. After taking a bath with Ji Yuanyuan, she lay on the bed and fell asleep very quickly.
Ji Yuanyuan had not fallen asleep for a very long time. She was thinking, what reason should she use to bring the spirit spring water to Qin Junshan to drink tomorrow?
When she was about to fall asleep, she finally thought of a way.
...
Early the next morning, JI Yuanyuan woke up.
Li Xu had already woken up, but Li Yong and the two children were still asleep.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan wake up, Li Xu, who was about to go out, was a little surprised, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
Ji Yuanyuan ran in front of Li Xu and waved at Li Xu. “Mom, come here, I have something to tell you.”
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan’s mysterious look, Li Xu quickly moved her ears closer, “What’s wrong? What secret do you want to tell Mom?”
“Mom, give me some money, when Uncle wakes up, I’ll ask him to bring me to buy some bones and make some soup for Grandpa Qin to send over.”
Li Xu understood what Ji Yuanyuan meant the moment she heard her.
She was feeding Uncle Qin with the spirit spring water in the name of delivering soup!
Li Xu Thought for a moment and took out fifty Yuan from her pocket, “Later, go to Auntie Qin’s house to play. Buy whatever you want to eat, don’t let Auntie Qin and Grandpa Qin spend money, understand?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, “I understand, Mom!”
Only then did Li Xu Pat Ji Yuanyuan head, “Alright, go back and sleep for a while. When Uncle wakes up, ask him to bring you to buy some bones.”
Ji Yuanyuan said with a smile, “Uncle has already slept for a few hours, he must have enough sleep, I’ll go wake him up. It will take a few hours to stew the soup!”
Li Xu could not help but laugh when she heard her daughter’s words!
How could a child know that it would take a few hours to stew the soup?
Seeing that it was already too late, Li Xu hurriedly kissed Ji Yuanyuan on the forehead and said, “Then Mommy is leaving.”
After Li Xu left, Ji Yuanyuan came to the door of Li Yong’s bedroom.
She first quietly opened a crack in the door. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with Li Yong, she finally opened the door completely.
After all, it was summer and the weather was very hot. Ji Yuanyuan was really afraid that Li Yong would be so hot that he would take off his clothes to sleep.
Fortunately, he did not have this habit.
Ji Yuanyuan climbed onto the bed. Her small head moved close to Li Yong’s ear and his small hands were clasped together.
“Second Uncle, wake up!”
Ji Yuanyuan whispered in Li Yong’s ear.
Li Yong rubbed his ear, feeling a little itchy. A moment later, he seemed to have reacted and suddenly sat up from the bed, his face full of fear.
When he saw that the person beside him was Ji Yuanyuan, he sighed helplessly, “My good niece, can you let Uncle have a good sleep early in the morning?”
As he spoke, he was about to continue lying down.
Ji Yuanyuan held Li Yong’s hand, “Second uncle, hurry up and get up. We’ll take you to Auntie Qin!”
When he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, Li Yong opened his eyes abruptly and blurted out subconsciously, “How did you know?”
The two of them looked at each other, staring at each other.
“Oh, you and Big Brother and Second Brother have already agreed. You never thought of helping my Mother sell vegetables, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan thought of the abnormal behavior of the three people last night and immediately understood.
Ji Zi’ang must have told his Second Uncle that they were going to Qin Xiaomin’s house to play as soon as Li Yong came over last night.
Therefore, her Second Uncle’s behavior last night was somewhat abnormal.
Li Yong also realized that he had said the wrong thing. The plan that he had discussed with Zixuan Zi’ang was to pretend that he didn’t know about it.
Before he left, Zi’ang came forward and dragged him along.
After all, his sister did not agree that he and Qin Xiaomin were getting too close.
But...
Thinking of this, Li Yong scratched his head in embarrassment and anger. He quickly lost the battle, “Alright, as long as you don’t tell your mother, I’ll do anything.”
“Then get up quickly and bring me to the market to buy some bones. We’ll stew some soup for Grandpa Qin to bring over.”
Stew in the morning? Li Yong looked at Ji Yuanyuan suspiciously, “Who drinks such greasy stuff in the morning? Besides, it’s summer now. Who would want to drink hot soup!”
Ji Yuanyuan urged with a straight face, “Grandpa Qin will definitely like it. Get up quickly and bring me there. Otherwise, I’ll tell my mother.”
Li Yong had been afraid of Li Xu since he was young. When he heard that, he immediately got up from the bed, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll tidy up immediately.”
In less than ten minutes, Li Yong had finished cleaning up.
Ji Yuanyuan held the fifty Yuan that Li Xu had given him and held Li Yong’s hand as they headed to the market.
...
Ji Yuanyuan could be considered to be familiar with many people in the market.
She spent five Yuan and bought a few large bones. They were all cylindrical bones and were the most suitable for stewing soup.
When he was paying, Ji Yuanyuan stopped Li Yong and said righteously, “This is my gift to Grandpa Qin, I have to pay for it.”
Li Yong thought about it carefully, “That’s right, as the future granddaughter-in-law, you have to perform well!”
As he spoke, he put his money back into his pocket.
Ji Yuanyuan did not take Li Yong’s teasing words to heart at all. She was thinking about something along the way.
She did not know how effective the soup made from the spirit spring water was. If it was good, then she would be able to make soup every day from now on.
In her previous life, she had let Qin Mucheng down. In this life, she should make it up to him.
Li Yong also had the intention of showing off in front of Qin Xiaomin. He had also put in a lot of effort in making the soup.
He first boiled the water in an iron pot, then put it into the clay pot and simmered it slowly.
The fragrance soon came out and filled the entire room.
...
Around eight o’clock, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were also attracted by the fragrance.
Ji Zi’ang stood in the living room and looked at Li Yong with a hazy gaze, “Second Uncle, what smells so good?”
Li Yong was already cooking noodles. Hearing this, he said, “The two of you hurry up and clean up. I’ll make bone broth noodles for you. When it’s done, I’ll send a bowl over to your mother first.”
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan immediately went to wash up.
When he was done, the noodles were also ready.
The white noodles were doused with fragrant bone broth. Even without the gravy, it was still very fragrant.
Li Yong first scooped out a bowl and handed it to Ji Zixuan, “Go and send one to your mother first.”
