The Sichuan crayfish was an instant hit, after all, Su Wan had put all her energy into making it. The Sichuan crayfish that she made was an improvised version of the Sichuan Ma La crayfish because she didn't have the dried chicken powder, thus, she had to go through the Lon way and make a chicken curry powder with cumin, fennel seeds etc which made the entire thing even more flavorful ( don't try this at home). After all, she didn't have a dehydrator as she needed in the original recipe. However, even with this added twist her family still liked the taste of this new and improved version of the spicy crayfish.
And that wasn't all, Su Wan and Lin Yan had cooked a huge feast together. They made scrambled eggs, stir-fried chilli pepper with chicken eggs that were freshly brought from the coop, sour and sweet vegetables made from mixed vegetables with delectable sticky sweet and sour sauce full of umami flavour. And on the light side, they prepared the simple egg drop soup with white polished rice and some salted duck eggs which of course were fresh out of the coop as well.
" My niece sure is very capable. Even my chef who is capable and handy in the kitchen for more than thirty years wouldn't be able to whip up such a sumptuous feast. I am drooling with just the smell of these dishes!" Shen Zizhen naturally thought that his niece was the best, even if Su Wan had placed a burnt omelette in front of him, he would have sung praises of that too! Now that such a delicious feast was made by his niece for him there was no way he wouldn't lay down praises upon praises on his niece.
Ai, if only he had a daughter like Wan Wan. Then even if he didn't have a son, he wouldn't be upset - what was the point of having three bread loaves? Did they even boil him a glass of water? No, they didn't! Both of his sons kept dragging him around here and there when they fought in the academy, though this calling the parents to the academy had decreased a lot ever since his sons grew up but one in a while he was still called to the academy because his second son broke someone's nose or d*ck -he was still in shock at the latter one like how can one even break that but somehow his talented second son had managed to do that. Even now when he thought about how he had to give away a shop in the capital because of that idiotic brat, he started to get angry once again - why didn't he give birth to a cotton-padded jacket instead of that debt collector?
Huo Xinyue understood her husband the best. When she saw the blazing eyes, she knew that her husband was thinking about the matter that happened just a month ago. She immediately cleared her throat and changed the subject before her son's butt once again get swollen in the middle of the night " Let's eat, honey. Even if you are not sure where to begin first, just look everyone's waiting for you to start, fill up your bowl and begin the feast!"
Huo Xinyue too liked girls but she liked her sons as well, after all, she suffered so much pain to pop them out, it hurts her heart to see them getting beaten.
Shen Junxi also felt danger incoming in their direction so he immediately opened his mouth " That's right second brother, I am so hungry that I can eat a heifer, just go ahead and pick any dish that you like. Wan Wan and second Lin boy have outdone themselves by cooking so many dishes at once. I want to take a bite of everything, hurry up and eat" and let us eat without any suffering.
Su Wan also felt the subtle change in her second uncle's mood as all her husbands slowly huddled together so that they were almost smothering her with their weight. Not wanting her husbands to get hurt anymore, Su Wan held her chopsticks and took a particularly fat crayfish and put it in her second uncle's bowl " Go ahead, start with this spicy crayfish, second uncle... I have specifically made this for you"
After what Su Wan did there was no way, Shen Zizhen could refuse. So, he immediately held his large bowl and gobbled the crayfish's meat which was plump and tender, not at all greasy. It was spicy and fragrant, and with just one bite its delicious taste exploded in his mouth, Shen Zizhen smacked his lips as a stinging sensation spread all over his mouth making him feel all tingly " Great this is great. I have never eaten something like this before, it's spicy but it isn't oily which is a first for me even the restaurants in the capital can make it taste like this"
Even though his mouth felt like it was burning, Shen Zizhen didn't stop eating the spicy crayfish, he kept drinking the fruit wine that he had brought for Su Wan and continued to gobble the crayfish. Once he started gobbling the fish, the fight for crayfish commenced. Lin Jing who was the fastest among the five brothers, thanks to his quick feet and hands after years of hunting in the mountains was the most successful in grabbing most of the spicy crayfish.
While Lin Yan smoothly took out the stock that he had already smuggled in the kitchen to eat, neither of the two were bothered by the amazing speed with which the crayfish was vanishing from the bowl. It was only Lin Yu and Lin Chen who were fighting for their shares of crayfish.
"Let go you brat, I am your elder brother. You better listen to me and pull away from your chopsticks" growled Lin Chen as he tried to snatch the last crayfish from his Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was no pushover either, he snapped back at Lin Chen with his teeth " you ate one m..more than me, let me have this one"
"Look at your face it's flushed red! You shouldn't eat so much of this. They don't pull it, I am trying to take care of your health here"
" First take care of your swollen lips! Then tell me to take care of my health" snapped Lin Yu, then as quick as a rabbit ... he chomped on Lin Chen's hand and just as Lin Chen shrieked, he timely snatched the crayfish away from his third brother.
