Approaching closer, the beautiful woman took a deep breath and, in the next moment, she exclaimed with some excitement, "Mom, I can smell it too, the fragrance is really great!"
Hearing her heartfelt praise, the elderly woman smiled kindly and said, "Now you know it's even better than what your star-rated chef can make!"
Hesitating for a moment, she said earnestly, "I haven't actually tasted the dish yet, so it's hard to say! But from the smell alone, it truly is a cut above!"
A truly good dish needs to be perfect in color, fragrance, and taste!
So without having tasted it, she did not dare to make any rash judgments!
But she felt that the dish probably wouldn't disappoint, because just smelling the aroma made her want to swallow her saliva!
She was tempted!
She really felt tempted!
"It looks like the real masters are indeed hidden in these small mountain villages!"
Joking in this way, she took the lead and walked forward, the beautiful woman took another deep breath and also hurriedly followed!
Soon, they rounded a corner and found a farmstead that was not very big. By now, it had already gathered quite a crowd!
Everyone was craning their necks to look inside...
"It seems we're not the only ones with good noses!"
She joked as she walked a few more steps forward!
The beautiful woman nodded softly and also quickly walked a few steps forward!
...
Inside the kitchen, Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying were unaware of the large crowd that had gathered outside!
At the moment, they were eagerly looking at the freshly cooked plate of spinach!
The stir-fried spinach looked even more tender and appetizing!
After silently swallowing a gulp of saliva, Su Xueying whispered, "Xiaobei, let's stop looking and bring it out to try!"
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two quickly carried it out of the kitchen!
As soon as they stepped out of the kitchen, they were startled because they saw hundreds of people gathered around!
"What... what's going on?"
Hu Xiaobei and Su Xueying were murmuring to each other when they noticed the crowd was intently staring at the plate of spinach in their hands!
In that instant, they knew these people were attracted by its fragrance!
Understanding this, Su Xueying was about to say something!
But before she could speak, she heard them urgently starting to bid!
"Boss, how much for this plate of spinach? I'll buy it!"
"Are you kidding me? You're buying? I want to buy it!"
"Stop joking, I saw it first! I'll offer a hundred!"
"A hundred? Are you joking? I'll offer five hundred!"
"This..."
Su Xueying and Hu Xiaobei were stunned to see them arguing fiercely over a single dish!
After waving her hands gently, Su Xueying said, "Everyone, no need to rush. If you want to eat, find a place to sit down, and I'll stir-fry some for you later!"
"Okay!"
They quickly agreed and everyone promptly found seats!
Soon enough, they were all sitting and eagerly looking up...
Having everyone gaze at them so intently made Su Xueying pull Hu Xiaobei aside and said in frustration, "You little bastard, it's all your fault! Now there are so many people, what are we going to do!"
Previously, Su Xueying had managed to serve quite a number of people.
But in the past, all the customers came separately!
Now, they had all come at once, packed together, so Su Xueying knew that even if she was three-headed and six-armed, she really wouldn't be able to serve them all!
Hearing Su Xueying's somewhat dispirited comment, Hu Xiaobei blinked and said, "Sister-in-law, I brought a lot of vegetables earlier, just make a big mix of everything! That way, everyone can have something to eat!"
"Can we... can we really just make a big mix of everything?"
"I know it's not much to look at, but there's no other choice right now!"
"Right! I'll go get ready then!"
She nodded lightly and quickly tied on her apron and hurried back to the kitchen...
Seeing Su Xueying getting busy right away, Hu Xiaobei carried the stir-fried spinach back to the kitchen!
After setting it aside, Hu Xiaobei also began to help...
...
"Mom, in a moment you'll be able to taste for yourself if the dish is really that delicious!"
"En!"
Hearing her daughter's words, the elderly woman looked around curiously...
At that time, the people of Xiaohe Village gradually noticed what was happening over here and before long, many villagers, including Guo Meiyu, had gathered!
Walking into the kitchen and seeing Su Xueying and Hu Xiaobei busily at work, she quickly asked, "Xiaobei, Xueying, what...what's going on? Why are there so many people outside? And what's with this delicious aroma?"
As Su Xueying was washing the wok, she glanced at Guo Meiyu and explained, "Those outside are all customers here to eat!"
"But...but it's not meal time yet!"
"That's all thanks to that little bastard Xiaobei! He picked some vegetables from the back mountain earlier, and their taste was so good that they caught everyone's attention!"
"Good? Those vegetables looked pretty ordinary! How good could they possibly be?"
Guo Meiyu had often gone to the back mountain to help out before, so she really didn't think they were any different from ordinary vegetables!
"You don't believe me? Try some of the spinach I just stir-fried over there, and you'll know!"
"Okay!"
With her word of agreement, Guo Meiyu hurried over...
Before long, she saw the dish of spinach on the table!
She looked it over carefully and noticed that the spinach seemed nicely colored and truly had a fragrant scent!
"Maybe it will be a let-down when I actually taste it."
Muttering to herself, she picked up a chopstickful of spinach, and instantly, Guo Meiyu's eyes widened in shock!
Boom!
The moment her taste buds touched the spinach, she felt them explode completely...
Ever since she was young, Guo Meiyu had enjoyed growing her own vegetables!
She had thought the vegetables she grew were quite tasty, but now she realized they were nothing compared to this!
Full of heartfelt admiration, her eyes narrowed with pleasure!
Chewing on that spinach, she truly felt like she was standing in the midst of a vast, verdant spinach field...
"How is it? Feels like your tongue is going to swallow itself, huh?"
Seeing Guo Meiyu's ecstatic expression, Hu Xiaobei teased her softly!
Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, she quickly said, "Xiaobei...did you grow these vegetables? Are all the vegetables on the back hill this delicious?"
"Yes!"
"This...this is simply amazing!"
Hearing such enthusiastic praise, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Su Xueying, who was seriously cooking.
Leaning closer to Guo Meiyu, he whispered softly, "Sister-in-law, I've got something even more impressive!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Guo Meiyu understood what he meant and immediately retorted angrily, "Little bastard!"
Seeing such a shy response, Hu Xiaobei blinked and said, "Sister-in-law, bad guys are the ones women love!"
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, Guo Meiyu then said, "All right, Xiaobei, you'd better go out! Leave the kitchen to me and your sister-in-law!"
"Don't you need me to help out here?"
"You being here would just make things more chaotic! Better head out quickly!"
"Well...okay then!"
Agreeing, Hu Xiaobei left the kitchen!
The moment he stepped out, Hu Xiaobei saw everyone stretching their necks to look at him...
