The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 259 - Reunion Of Old Friends

Chapter 259 - Reunion Of Old Friends

Based on the original story, Auntie Zhong's 6 specialty dishes were stewed duck with sour bamboo shoots, braised pork trotters with hibiscus hibiscus, silver carp head with double peppers, three-flavored ear-folded root, stir-fried fern root powder with beef offal, and dumplings.
Mo Li remembered the recipes provided by the book when she read the story. They were nothing special. It was just that Auntie Zhong always used the freshest ingredients and she had her own mix of seasoning and chili. It was why her dishes were so unique. Without those special seasoning, the taste couldn't be imitated.
Song Xing picked up the chopsticks. With the thought that he was going to meet Auntie Zhong again, he was excited! After he took a few bites, Song Xing lifted his head and said, "These are her cooking. The taste is still the same even after all these years."
"Ha ha... Auntie Zhong sure is a good cook." Mo Yi poured a glass of wine in cold sweat. He grabbed the wine and took a large gulp. He had no idea where the dishes came from. What to do? What to do?
"With her skills, Auntie Zhong can open a restaurant of her own. You are so lucky to have her around the house! By the way, why haven't you invited her out? Tell her that Little Four wishes to see her, but I wonder if she still remembers me."
When Mo Yi heard that, the pork trotters dropped on his plate. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
All of a sudden, Mo Yun led Auntie Zhong out from the kitchen. Actually while Mo Yi was all flustered, Mo Yun had already sent people to bring Auntie Zhong from her hometown. She had arrived the night before.
Mo Li was the one who cooked the dishes and she made 2 sets. One to serve Song Xing and the other to serve Auntie Zhong.
Auntie Zhong spent most of her life serving the Mo Family so when Mo Yun's people came to find her, she agreed to return. After all, she had personally raised Mo Yun, and Mo Xiao. She also missed them dearly.
When Auntie Zhong was served the meal made by Mo Li, she was incredibly touched. She had no idea that Mo Li had studied her specialty dishes. That night, Mo Li apologized to Auntie Zhong on behalf of the original Mo Li. Auntie Zhong forgave her readily.
Mo Yi's heart almost fell to the floor when he saw Auntie Zhong. However, when he saw the calm demeanor of Mo Yun, he quickly collected himself. Looks like Mo Yun can man the Mo Family on his own already. My plan to go on a world-round trip with the wife can be pushed ahead.
But at that moment, Mo Yi was also reminded of the things his father told him. Looks like I'll have to talk to the kids soon, I don't want them to be blindsided.
"Sister Zhong, do you still remember me? I'm Little Four! I accidentally fell down the mountain side when I was fixing the road at Xiao Gang Village!" Song Xing looked at Auntie Zhong.
"Of course I do! That day I was out picking mushrooms, I wasn't expecting to harvest a young man home with me!" Auntie Zhong looked at Song Xing and smiled.
Mo Yi was relieved. Looks like the deal would go through this time.
Song Xing ladled a bowl of hot soup for Auntie Zhong. "Sister Zhong, what are you up to these days?"
Auntie Zhong knew that Little Four was no longer someone common if he could sit at the table with the Mo Family. She smiled lightly. "I have no children so I have returned home. For the past 2 years, my health has been weakening. I spent most of my time walking around the village. Without the help of the villagers, I couldn't even stand around and cook for more than half an hour."
Mo Yi started to sweat again when Auntie Zhong said that. Song Xing would know that Auntie Zhong didn't make the meal then.
"Huh? Then who prepared these dishes today?" Song Xing was surprised. Based on what he observed, Song Xing believed that Auntie Zhong was indeed too weak to come up with such a large table of food.
Mo Yi scratched his head and admitted. "These should be the cooking of my youngest daughter, Mo Li."
"So it's that girl! I've heard a lot about her from the Young Master Quan. She sounds very impressive!"
"You're too kind.. Speaking of, where's the girl?" Mo Yi waved at Auntie Qiu, telling her to go get Mo Li.
