Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 926  Wanting to eat but can’t——2

This was a very surprising discovery for Old Master Shi, he knew that the cabbage and lettuce were not grown in a normal way like most farmers did since they were bigger than the ones which were sold in the market.

More importantly, when he tasted the thin slices of the cabbage leaves, he did find them sweeter and juicier than the rest. But now that he was done cooking it, he could smell the scent of medicinal herbs which calmed his heart and even soothed his headache which was quite persistent ever since he reached a certain age.

" This …This is amazing," Old Master Fu had also eaten a few medicinal cuisines since he did not lack money but he could not eat those expensive meals every week since no one would be foolish enough to spend thirty taels every single week. Once a month was okay but more than once a week was simply stupid.

Even Old Master Fan was stunned as he looked at the steaming dishes on the table.

" No wonder they are so expensive, that woman must know her stuff," he remarked as he took a whiff of the gentle scent and felt the throbbing ache in his back ease a little. Just the scent was so miraculous, how effective would it be when he takes a bite? Old Master Fan thought in his head.

" See? I was not scammed," said Old Master Shi as he went to sit down on the chair urging his friends to take a seat as well but no sooner did he sit down, than someone knocked on the door of his courtyard.

Behind him, Xiao Tian was already drooling. Since the Old masters did not mind those rules where a servant could not sit with them and eat, Xiao Tian knew that he would be able to get a few bites of this delectable meal as well.
Which was why he was very annoyed when he heard the sound of the knocking but he still stood up from the chair and then went to open the door.

However, as soon as Xiao Tian opened the door, he was surprised to find Eldest Miss Shi standing outside with her family and peeking inside the door.

" Is something the matter, Eldest Miss?" Though Xiao Tian was confused as to why Eldest Miss Shi was here, after all, in the past few years, Eldest Miss Shi only came to see Old Master Shi, a few countless times.

" That …I …" Eldest Miss Shi was embarrassed to say that the reason she came here to look for her father was that she wanted to eat a meal with him.

Her family was calmly having their meals in the main courtyard but then her granddaughter suddenly started to cry that she could smell lettuce wraps. How was she supposed to bring lettuce wraps all of a sudden for her out of nowhere? After all what kind of season were living in at the moment?

It was impossible to find a lettuce leaf much less a lettuce head but her granddaughter did not stop crying as she insisted that she could smell the lettuce wraps that she wanted to eat.

At first, Eldest Miss Shi thought that her granddaughter was only making a fuss to get what she wanted but soon, she started to smell the scent of lettuce wraps as well and what was more, she could even smell the scent of medicinal cuisine.

It surprised her so much that she sat up straight in her chair. After all, who did not know that cooking medicinal cooking was no small joke, it needed years of skills!

At first, her mer husbands egged her on by telling her that it was her sisters who hired a chef who was proficient in medicinal cuisine and did not pay any respect to her even though she was their elder sister but after she called the housekeeper mer and asked him whether or not someone came to their house, the housekeeper refused.

He told her that other than her father's friends no one came to their house. It was only then she remembered that her father used to be a great cook when he was young, even though she was a great admirer of his cooking but as he grew old he stopped cooking and she stopped coming to see him.

Eldest Miss Shi only came to check whether or not her hunch was correct but she did not expect that she would indeed smell that delectable scent which was making her drool coming from her father's courtyard!

When Eldest Miss Shi did not say anything for a long time, Xiao Tian grew a bit impatient but he still maintained a polite stance as he said, " Eldest Miss are you here to greet Old Master? If so please wait a few minutes, Old Master is having a meal with his friends."

Though Xiao Tian was a servant, he had seen Old Master Shi wait for his daughters to come and have a meal with him many times in the past.

There were countless times when Old Master Shi cooked despite his hands shaking and trembling and called his daughters but no one came to see him, since they knew that Old Master Shi could no longer cook as he used to in the past.

Because of his shaking hand, he would sometimes add more salt or sugar which was why his daughters avoided eating the food cooked by Old Master Shi and nor did they call him to eat with them.

Xiao Tian might be young but he had seen the tears which Old Master Shi shed when he was alone, there was no way he was going to let these people who did not care about Old Master Shi disrupt his meal!

And that too in the new year!

Eldest Miss Shi also knew that she was in the wrong. If she had kept a good relationship with her father then she could have simply barged inside and shared a small meal with her father but now that their relationship was like this, how could she be so shameless as to ask for a free meal?

" Wife… little Zhengting is crying," as Eldest Miss was lost in thought she heard her husband speak as he pinched her on the waist.

Only then did Eldest Miss snap out of her daze and looked at her granddaughter who was shedding fat tears asking for lettuce wraps that smelled so good.

Honestly, she too wanted to shed tears just like this maybe her father will become softhearted and let her take a bite?
