Chapter 209 Inviting Classmates
Since I had nothing to do today, I decided to cook a delicious meal for everyone so that my grandmother and the others could have a taste.
"Sister, could you please invite Xu Zijun and Gu Mingcheng to the manor? Ever since they tasted your cooking last time, they've been craving it and keep asking to switch places with you every day."
Xue Li looked up at Xue Ruanruan with her little face full of expectation, her deliberate attempt to please her was both cautious and thoughtful.
He was still bothered by Xu Zijun's constant talk about exchanging sisters with him, and preferred to treat them to his older sister's cooking rather than exchange sisters with him.
His older sister is the best sister in the world, no one can replace her.
Xu Zijun was also a clever girl. Knowing that her wish to exchange sisters with Xue Li would not be fulfilled, she used this as a threat: if she could often eat the food cooked by Xue Li's sisters, she would not exchange sisters with him.
Xue Li held a grudge about this matter, so she naturally promised them that she would invite them to eat if her elder sister cooked.
But lately, my sister has been very busy, always leaving early and returning late. He hasn't seen her for several days.
Today, when his older sister mentioned cooking, he thought of Xu Zijun, who was always talking about him.
That guy would be ecstatic if he knew his older sister was cooking today.
"Of course, I have time today. You can order whatever you want to eat, and I'll make it."
Xue Ruanruan squatted down and looked at Xue Li, who was being overly cautious. Her heart melted. Looking at her little brother's tender little face, she couldn't help but give him a big kiss.
Xue Li was surprised when his older sister suddenly kissed him. His pink face turned red instantly. He was both shy and happy, and looked very cute.
"What dishes would you like to eat, Li'er? I'll make them for you."
Xue Ruanruan was amused by the little guy's awkward little appearance, patted his little head, and asked softly.
"I like to eat anything that my older sister makes."
The little guy is not old, but you can already tell a lot about his personality from his words. He is very discreet.
Xue Li couldn't help but salivate when she thought of the steamed perch, salt and pepper shrimp, and sweet and sour pork she had eaten at the academy last time.
Xu Zijun has been talking about it so many times that she's heard it so many times that she's practically worn out. She'll definitely be overjoyed this time.
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the meal now. You go and invite Xu Zijun and Gu Mingcheng."
Xue Ruanruan patted the little guy's head, got up and returned to her Yunyao Courtyard. Freshness is always the best for cooking, especially seafood from the sea, which is freshly caught to be fragrant, tender and smooth.
She had to go back to her space to retrieve ingredients, including the meat, wine, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar needed for the New Year's banquet the day after tomorrow.
"My dear granddaughter, what are you doing with so many things?"
As Madam Xue was being helped by Granny Fang from the ancestral hall in the backyard back to the main hall, she saw Guabao carrying two large buckets full of vegetables, fruits, rice, and flour towards the kitchen in the backyard. Startled, she quickly went to meet him.
"Grandmother, please be careful. I have nothing to do today, so I plan to cook a few dishes for everyone to try."
"You girl are always busy. You just came back from outside the manor and you're already busy cooking for everyone. What can I say about you?"
Old Madam Xue looked distressed. Her beloved granddaughter had finally been found, but the household was in dire straits. As soon as she returned, she helped prepare food and supplies for the cold, and was busy opening shops to earn money. She also had to cook for them.
