The next afternoon, Gu Qingyao went to the kitchen to prepare some medicinal dishes for the Old Master and Old Madam but saw Mu Mu there.
“Mu Mu, what are you doing? Why aren’t you at school?”
Mu Mu was looking for something. When he heard that, he replied, “I don’t have classes this morning. I’m preparing some food to bring to Brother Chen’s stall later.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “You’re cooking?”
“That’s right! I often helped out when we were living in our hometown! Aunt, when I was younger, I said that I will earn money to support you when I grow up! When I saw how good your cooking skills were, I specially went to learn some!”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I know, but I seldom see you cooking!”
Mu Mu rubbed his head. “I saw two big fish in the kitchen today, and I thought I would use one of the fish heads to make fish head soup. Brother Chen and Chen Qingqing have to study every day! If they eat more fish, they will be smarter! It’s the same for Yuan Yuan. Her clever little brain needs some nutrients, or it will be wasted!”
Gu Qingyao smilingly said, “Fine, the fish is over there. Go ahead and cook. Let me know if you have any questions.”
“Great!” Mu Mu was all smiles. He was clearly in a very good mood.
“They spend all day selling noodles, and they only use pork. Every time they eat meat, it’s pork. That’s why I thought I would cook something else for them to try.”
“Oh! Our Mu Mu is so considerate!”
Mu Mu, “…”
Why did he sense something odd with his Aunt’s words?
Gu Qingyao was doing her own thing while she watched Mu Mu bustling about.
The fellow was earnestly cleaning the fish head. After he put it in the pot, he seasoned it properly and then tasted it from time to time, as if worried that it would not taste nice.
She was rather particular when she made soup, so the Mu kitchen was well-stocked with seasonings. Mu Mu had learnt quite a lot, so he was also quite particular when he made this fish head soup.
He set the soup aside, then went to make braised chicken.
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “Are you bringing that too?”
Mu Mu was holding the spatula as he replied, “That’s right! This chicken has been reared for two or three years; it must be very tasty now. Even if Brother Chen’s family has meat to eat, it’s always pork. A person must have a balanced diet. Besides, Yuan Yuan is an invalid!
“She likes soup and chicken. I’ll make these two dishes and bring them over later.”
“Oh…” Gu Qingyao wrapped her arms around herself and smiled as she watched him work.
Hehehe!
He was so earnest.
When the two dishes were done, Mu Mu tasted them himself again. He was very pleased.
The fish head soup was milky white. One could tell at a glance that it was very nutritious. The chicken was braised and it looked and smelled good. Young people liked these flavors.
Mu Mu found some lunch boxes and packed the two dishes.
“Oh, by the way, Aunt, where are the strawberries you brought from the Qiao house two days ago? The Qiao family’s strawberries are so wonderful; they’re big and sweet. I want to bring some along.”
Gu Qingyao pointed her lip towards the fridge. “Over there, in the fridge!”
Mu Mu hurriedly took a small box and packed a portion. He placed the boxes in a bag, then took a bottle of milk. Only then did he pick up his bag and leave.
“Aunt, I’m off! I’ll have lunch over there and then go straight to school.”
He was long gone before he finished his sentence. He was so excited…
Gu Qingyao watched him until he left. She was astounded!
“These wild children! They’ll be incredible when they grow up!”
It was almost lunchtime. Mo Beihan had just arrived in time to hear Gu Qingyao’s words.. He was startled. “Why? Have the children made you angry?”
