This taste…
Su Fu’s expression was somewhat dazed. Was this really river mussel meat? How could it be so fragrant—both aromatic and spicy? As he chewed, he felt as if his tongue was about to be swallowed along with the food.
It was incredibly delicious. Su Fu quickly scooped a mouthful of rice. The grains were plump and full, carrying the unique aroma of rice. The river mussel meat was perfect in color, aroma, and taste. Taking a bite of both together made him feel as if all the fatigue of the entire day had vanished.
“Dad, how is it?” Su Tao, seeing that her second brother wasn’t speaking, turned to Su Fu.
However, Su Fu remained silent. Su Tao grew a bit anxious and quickly asked, “Second Brother, is it delicious?”
But at this moment, Su Qingshan, just like Su Fu and Su Qinghe, had no desire to speak. The reason was simple—it was just too delicious. The freshness of the river mussel meat and the spiciness of the chili peppers mingled together, flooding his taste buds all at once. The only thought in his mind was how incredibly delicious it was. How could something so tasty exist?
One bite of rice, one bite of the dish—he simply couldn’t stop.
Still, Su Qingshan managed to find a moment to answer Su Tao, “Delicious, mmm! Third Brother, could you not take so much at once?”Hearing this, Su Tao finally felt happy and looked at Li Shugen with a provocative expression.”
The father and sons of the Li family had been stunned from the moment they saw this. All three of them had the same thought: Was it really necessary for Su Fu and his sons to go to such lengths just because Li Shugen had said it wasn’t tasty? Were they trying so hard to prove him wrong because they were afraid their daughter would be upset?
They really doted on their daughter as if she were their life!
Li Chunhua, on the other hand, felt somewhat envious. Her father and brothers would never act like this.
“Ahem, you two rascals, slow down. Brother Li, Shugen, hurry up and eat before these two finish it all.” Su Fu, remembering that Li Shugen and his father were still there, finally let reason overcome his appetite and stopped to speak.
Li Shugen had initially wanted to shake his head and say he wouldn’t eat, but seeing Su Fu’s insistence, he felt he couldn’t refuse the kindness. So, he symbolically picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
But the moment it entered his mouth, he was shocked. Was this really the river mussel meat he had eaten before? Was it some other kind of meat? How could it be so tender, nothing like shoe leather? This… this was just too delicious! So, Brother Su hadn’t been lying to him—it really was tasty!
After swallowing, Li Shugen couldn’t resist taking another bite, this time not as sparingly as before.
“Dad?” Beside him, Li Shugen couldn’t help but speak up. What was wrong with his father?
Even Li Chunhua was puzzled. Hadn’t their father had enough?
But Father Li couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to his son. He had just seen that the river mussel meat was almost finished by the Su family father and sons. They always said that sons should be filial to their fathers when they grow up. Since his son was already this old, it was time for him to show some filial piety.
“Dad!”
Li Shugen couldn’t help but call out again. Why was this different from what he had imagined?
No way. Seeing that there was hardly any river mussel meat left, Li Shugen could no longer resist and grabbed a bite.
!!!
Who could tell him, was this really river mussel meat? How could it be so delicious? So delicious that Li Shugen almost shed tears of emotion. For the first time, he felt that all the meals he had eaten over the years had been a waste. This was what people should be eating! Damn it, what had he been eating all this time?
Li Shitou wolfed down his food while wondering: Was that man really his biological father? He must have done that on purpose to keep him from eating more.
Well, Li Shitou had stumbled upon the truth for the first time.
Witnessing this scene, Li Chunhua couldn’t help but grow curious. Was the food really that delicious? Why was everyone eating so enthusiastically? It made her mouth water.
“Chunhua, would you like to try some?” Su Tao noticed Li Chunhua standing nearby.
“N-no, it’s fine. You all enjoy it. I’ve already eaten.” Startled by Su Tao’s offer, Li Chunhua’s face instantly flushed red as she stammered a refusal.
Yet Su Tao picked up a morsel with her chopsticks and brought it to the young girl’s lips.
Like a fledgling bird being fed, Li Chunhua opened her cherry-like mouth.
“Mmm…”
“How is it? Delicious, right? Let me tell you…” Su Tao began explaining how the dish was prepared and how she tended the fire.
But Li Chunhua wasn’t listening at all. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked completely mesmerized.
It was actually delicious!
A completely different flavor from her mother’s cooking!
