Su Wenxian was more refined when it came to eating, but after tasting the eight treasures porridge, he thought it was the most delicious thing ever. He could not help but scoop it up one spoonful at a time.
Su Fengzhang also started eating very quickly. After all, the family had been tossing and turning all day and had not eaten much. Su Fengzhang did not feel hungry before but was shocked after smelling the porridge’s fragrance and taking a bite.
“It’s so delicious. I never expected Binglan’s culinary skills to be this good.” He was stunned and felt that the porridge had aroused his appetite.
Ding Wan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her husband and son eating. She could not eat much during this period, but the father-son duo were anxious and did not eat properly either.
Furthermore, the family had only eaten dry foods to save money and could not eat anything good. Ding Wan felt guilty when she saw the duo’s happiness while eating the eight treasures porridge.
She knew she had to get better quickly and take good care of her family. She
wanted her husband and son to have hot meals like this more often.
Su Fengzhang looked at his wife and put down his porridge. Then he took Ding
Wan’s bowl from her and said, “Here, let me feed you.”
Ding Wan said, “I’m strong enough now, so I can eat on my own. You two can just eat. Binglan sent us so much food. Don’t let it go to waste.”
She picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful into her mouth immediately after speaking.
Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian did not care about anything else and looked at Ding Wan’s reaction. She had not been able to eat anything when she was ill, no matter how hard the father-son tried to feed her.
Ding Wan said she did not have an appetite then, so her husband and son were anxious and afraid that she would be unable to eat Su Binglan’s delicious food.
After tasting a spoonful of porridge, Ding Wan’s eyes lit up. “Wow, this is truly delicious!”
She could not control herself and scooped spoonful after spoonful into her mouth as she spoke. She felt her stomach warming up as she ate. “The porridge has peanut kernels, red beans, barley rice, red dates, chestnuts, soybeans, and more.”
Finally, there was something Ding Wan could easily eat.
“These are common food crops, but I never expected them to taste so good together in a porridge.”
Su Wenxian was excited and happy to see his mother eating. He did not know how to thank his cousin. “Mother, why didn’t we think of this before? We can make porridge this way too.”
He was a little puzzled because those ingredients were common but tasted best when put together. If the family had known about this earlier, Ding Wan would have been able to eat properly long ago.
Su Fengzhang sighed, “You’re right. In the past, we only knew to use rice in our porridge whenever we made some.”
Of course, the family had made porridge several times before, but they all tasted the same. It was not as fragrant and sweet as the eight treasures porridge.
Ding Wan ate the porridge, and its aftertaste was endless. “Do you think this porridge is easy to make? You must constantly control the heat and add adequate seasoning. Each ingredient’s cooking time is different; we must boil some of these things earlier than the rest.
“Binglan must’ve also added sugar since it’s fragrant and sweet but not too greasy. If we add sugar, we might add too little or too much. Indeed, it’s not that easy to make eight treasures porridge.”
Ding Wan did not eat much on a typical day, but she had two bowls of porridge in a row that night. After that, her stomach was full, and her entire body felt warm and comfortable.
“You two take your time eating. I’ll continue sleeping for now.” She was tired and wanted to nap after talking and eating so much.
“Okay, sleep well, Mother. You don’t have to worry about dad and me.”
Ding Wan reminded them, “You two have a good sleep after eating, so we’ll feel more energetic tomorrow.”
Su Fengzhang said, “Don’t worry. We’ll feel more at ease as long as you’re okay.”
He and his son could not sleep and eat well lately because they were worried about Ding Wan. Since she was recovering now, the duo’s worries started to fade.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua sent the eight treasures porridge to Su Fengzhi’s house and went home soon after.
Madam Liu said smilingly, “Binglan must’ve made fresh food for everyone again. This eight treasures porridge sounds good, and I know it’s different from what we typically eat.”
At that moment, Su Fengzhi, Su Wenlin, Su Wenchi, and Lin Tongtong looked at the porridge in the food box with expectant eyes. They could not wait to taste it.
Even Su Wenlin and Lin Tongtong’s son, Su Xuerui, blinked their eyes as they watched Madam Liu pour the porridge for everyone.
The atmosphere in their home had changed ever since their conditions had improved. It was no longer gloomy and depressing—instead, it was lively, and everyone spoke enthusiastically.
Even Su Xuerui became more high-spirited and was no longer cautious. Even though he was still young, children were always more sensitive than adults.
He barely spoke whenever he noticed the adults around him were not in a good mood. However, after seeing the grown-ups smiling, he finally dared to speak, “Um, Grandma?”
Madam Liu heard her grandson calling her and excitedly carried him. “We’ll eat
something delicious soon, Xuerui. Here, you can eat first, okay?”
She filled a small bowl with the porridge and gave it to Su Wenlin, saying, “Take care of Xuerui and make sure he eats his porridge.”
“Yes, Mother.”
She portioned the porridge for everyone as she spoke, “Binglan made a lot for us, so eat more if you’d like. This is eight treasures porridge but thicker than usual. It looks more like rice.”
Su Wenchi took his bowl of porridge and could not wait to dig in. “Whoa! It’s so delicious! I never expected porridge to taste so good! Binglan is too amazing!”
He felt his cousin could make anything taste delicious, even chicken and duck eggs. After all, she had made things like salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. Su Wenchi did not admire anyone but his cousin because she made delicious foods, and he enjoyed eating them.
Su Wenlin was too busy to eat because he was feeding his son spoonful by spoonful. Children knew what foods they enjoyed and would eat them by mouthfuls.
Su Wenlin was thrilled to see how much his son enjoyed the porridge. Su Xuerui was even happier when his father fed him than when he ate on his own.
“Mother, Xuerui likes the porridge.”
Madam Liu was delighted. “It’s good that he’s willing to eat since he typically doesn’t eat much. You can feed him more but not too much.”
“I know, Mother.”
Lin Tongtong felt that she had eaten quite a lot of good food from the Su family. She put her porridge aside and did not say she would eat—instead, she walked to her husband and said, “I’ll take over feeding Xuerui while you go and eat.”
She knew her husband had not eaten well because he was always busy making charcoal, and she felt sorry for him.
Su Wenlin was also considerate of his wife. “I’m not hungry yet, so you can eat first. I’ll eat after feeding Xuerui.”
The husband and wife cared for each other, so Su Fengzhi and Madam Liu were gratified when they saw this.
Su Wenchi looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law, nodding approvingly.
He also wanted a wife to care for and love..
