Chapter 1276: The Value of "Many Children, Many Blessings" Continues to Rise
The next morning, warm sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, dappling the bedroom and giving the soft bedding a golden edge.
Liu Yifei was still fast asleep, her little head buried in Lin Lang's warm chest, like a lazy little kitten. She subconsciously snuggled closer to him, and one of her slender arms was affectionately wrapped around his waist.
The light sleeper Lin Lang was startled awake by this subtle movement and slowly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Yifei nestled in his arms, fast asleep, so beautiful and captivating.
Liu Yifei had long, delicate eyelashes and was breathing evenly. Her small nose was tinged with a faint pink. The sunlight fell on her fair cheeks, as if coating her with a holy halo, as if she had a goddess filter on her, making her beauty radiant and tangible.
Lin Lang's heart melted instantly, and the smile that bloomed in his eyes was so tender it could drown water.
He couldn't resist and leaned down to give Liu Yifei's smooth cheek a light peck.
The gentle touch made Liu Yifei's eyelashes tremble slightly. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and saw Lin Lang's handsome features.
Her sleepiness vanished instantly, and Liu Yifei smiled, her voice still soft and husky from just waking up, as she sweetly called out, "Good morning, husband."
"Good morning, baby." Lin Lang chuckled softly, his voice so gentle it could melt into the sunlight.
Liu Yifei immediately smiled sweetly, wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Lang's neck, pressed herself even closer to him, tilted her head back, and gently pecked his lips.
The moment their lips touched, even the air was filled with a sweet scent.
Lin Lang gently stroked Liu Yifei's smooth back with his fingertips, his deep voice carrying the languor of early morning, as he softly asked, "Baby, did you sleep well last night?"
Liu Yifei snuggled closer to Lin Lang, like a contented little cat stretching and bending her slender waist into an alluring curve, her voice soft and sweet with a hint of coquettishness.
“I slept well last night, but you kept me up for half the night, honey. I still don’t feel like I’ve had enough sleep.”
Lin Lang chuckled softly, the vibration of his chest transmitting through their skin, his voice filled with affectionate coaxing: "If you haven't slept enough, then sleep a little longer."
Liu Yifei then squinted her sleepy eyes, glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and pouted, acting coquettishly.
"The nanny van will be here to pick me up from the film set in another hour. I can't sleep much longer, honey."
Lin Lang tightened his arms, holding Liu Yifei's soft body firmly in his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her rosy cheeks again, his tone full of tenderness.
“Then you can take another nap, and I’ll go to the kitchen to make you a loving breakfast to give you and the baby in your belly some extra nutrition.”
"Really? Honey, you're so thoughtful!"
Liu Yifei's eyes lit up instantly, her sleepiness vanished, and she looked as surprised as a child who had received candy.
Lin Lang pinched Liu Yifei's cheek, unable to hide the smile in his eyes: "You're pregnant now and need special protection, so it's only right that your husband makes you breakfast when he has time."
"That's wonderful, honey! I've never had your cooking before!"
Liu Yifei snuggled happily in Lin Lang's arms, her eyes crinkling with a charming smile. "Then I'll stay in bed a little longer and wake you up when you've made breakfast."
"Okay," Lin Lang replied.
Liu Yifei immediately tilted her head back and gave Lin Lang a quick kiss on his handsome profile.
Lin Lang smiled and gently flicked Liu Yifei's nose, carefully removed her arm from his waist, and quietly lifted the covers to get out of bed.
Liu Yifei hadn't had enough sleep, and being pregnant made her prone to drowsiness. She snuggled into the soft bedding, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again, a sweet smile on her lips.
Lin Lang entered the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.
The refrigerator only contained a few cartons of milk and a few eggs, with hardly any fresh vegetables, let alone any food to nourish the pregnant woman.
A slight smile played on his lips as he closed the refrigerator door and snapped his fingers crisply across the empty kitchen.
With a "snap," a phantom exactly like Lin Lang solidified beside him; it was the clone he had summoned.
"Go, use the spacetime teleportation skill to head straight to the mountain market at the foot of Changbai Mountain."
Lin Lang instructed in a low voice, his tone domineering and leaving no room for doubt, "Buy some of the freshest wild vegetables, free-range eggs, and freshly slaughtered free-range chickens. Everything must be pollution-free, without a trace of pesticides or fertilizers."
Lin Lang, the clone, nodded, a faint golden halo emanating from his body, and then vanished into thin air the next second.
While Lin Lang was washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The clone has been recalled by the system after completing the food procurement task. All the pollution-free ingredients such as mushrooms and wild vegetables have been stored in the shared personal space."
Lin Lang picked up a towel, wiped his face, and returned to the kitchen with light steps.
With a thought, he reached into his personal space, and the once empty kitchen counter was instantly filled with wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, wild ginseng, and various fresh ingredients, all exuding the fresh scent of earth, as well as a cleaned free-range chicken.
Lin Lang rolled up his shirt sleeves, his smile deepening.
With his maxed-out [Peak Culinary Skills of the Eight Major Cuisines], Lin Lang could easily whip up a nutritious breakfast for Liu Yifei, who was pregnant.
He got to work in high spirits.
Lin Lang first cut the plump free-range chicken into pieces and blanched it. He then put it into two casserole dishes along with wild Changbai Mountain matsutake mushrooms and ginseng, added a few red dates and ginger slices, and simmered it over low heat. The rich aroma quickly filled the kitchen.
Next, he washed and chopped the fresh wild vegetables, mixed them with beaten eggs and flour, added some salt and chopped green onions for seasoning, heated a pan with oil, and fried them into golden and crispy wild vegetable and egg pancakes.
Lin Lang couldn't resist taking a bite to taste it; it was full of the fresh fragrance of the mountains and fields.
Then he took some fresh and tender prickly ash shoots, blanched them in boiling water, cooled them, added minced garlic, light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and a little sesame oil, and mixed them well. A refreshing and appetizing cold prickly ash shoot salad was ready.
It's worth mentioning the Aralia elata sprouts, known as the king of wild vegetables in Northeast China. They are absolutely delicious delicacies from the mountains and fields, and they taste amazing!
Next, Lin Lang took out wild monkey head mushrooms, a specialty of Changbai Mountain, sliced them, stir-fried them with shredded chicken, and thickened them with a thin layer of cornstarch to make a fresh, fragrant and tender stir-fried monkey head mushrooms with shredded chicken.
Lin Lang sniffed and closed his eyes to smell.
Ah!
tasty!
Afterwards, Lin Lang steamed the small potatoes he dug up from the mountains, peeled them, mashed them into a paste, shaped them into small balls, and fried them until golden brown on both sides. The crispy on the outside and soft on the inside fried potato dumplings looked incredibly appetizing.
Next, Lin Lang placed two bottles of wild honey on the kitchen spice rack for Liu Yifei to eat later.
Lang Ge, who dotes on his wife, washed another plate of wild fruits from Changbai Mountain.
Among them are bright red raspberries, fuzz-free hardy kiwifruit, sweet and sour honeysuckle berries, and dark purple mountain grapes and wild apples.
Who knows the true value of this plate of wild fruits from Changbai Mountain?
Finally, Lin Lang turned off the heat at the last minute. The matsutake mushroom and ginseng chicken soup in the casserole was bubbling away, its color thick and white, and its aroma so rich that it made one's heart flutter.
Why did Brother Lang stew two pots of matsutake mushroom and ginseng chicken soup?
The system reminded Brother Lang that in the current timeline, Pan Xiaoting gave birth to a son for Lin Lang and is currently in postpartum confinement; the little guy is not even a month old yet!
Out of consideration for everyone, Lin Lang made a double portion of the breakfast he had prepared for Liu Yifei that morning for Pan Xiaoting.
Lin Lang took out insulated lunch boxes from his personal space, packed the matsutake mushroom and ginseng chicken soup and other loving breakfasts into several insulated lunch boxes, and temporarily stored them in his personal space.
After finishing everything, Lin Lang had just placed the last plate of pan-fried potato dumplings on the table when he heard light footsteps behind him.
Before he could turn around, a pair of slender arms tightly encircled his waist, and a soft, fragrant body pressed against him.
"Honey, you've worked so hard!"
Liu Yifei's little head peeked out from under Lin Lang's shoulder, her bright eyes landing on the sumptuous breakfast on the table, instantly sparkling with surprise.
Wow! Honey, are you such a good cook?
Liu Yifei's voice was as sweet as honey, and her nose twitched slightly, "It smells so good!"
Lin Lang chuckled, raised his hand to pat the small hand wrapped around his waist, his tone almost overflowing with doting affection: "To make breakfast for my wife, of course I have to use my best cooking skills."
"Hehe." Liu Yifei rubbed against Lin Lang's back, her gaze sweeping over the plate of brightly colored wild fruits next to the plate, and tilted her head curiously.
"But honey, where did these ingredients come from?"
Lin Lang blurted out the words he had prepared beforehand, lying, "I ordered it last night. It's wild food air-freighted from Changbai Mountain, all-natural and pollution-free."
"My darling wife, look how fresh these wild berries are, why don't you try some?"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a bright red raspberry, then turned and offered it to Liu Yifei's lips.
Liu Yifei slightly opened her mouth, put the plump raspberry into her mouth, and gently bit it. The sweet and sour juice instantly burst on her tongue, carrying the unique fresh taste of the mountains and fields.
She immediately narrowed her eyes, curving them into two beautiful crescent moons, and the smile on her lips was dazzlingly sweet: "Delicious! Wild raspberries are so delicious!"
"I'm glad you like it." Lin Lang's smile deepened as he ruffled Liu Yifei's hair. "These are all wild mountain fruits that haven't been sprayed with pesticides. Eat as much as you like."
"Thank you, husband!" Liu Yifei gave Lin Lang a loud kiss on the cheek, her eyes crinkling with joy.
Lin Lang smiled, took Liu Yifei's hand, led her to the dining table, and pulled out a chair for her: "Sit down quickly, the nanny van should be here soon, don't delay your time to get to the film set."
Liu Yifei sat down obediently, her gaze still fixed on the pot of fragrant matsutake and ginseng chicken soup.
"Wow! Honey, the nourishing soup you made smells so delicious! It's making my mouth water!"
Lin Lang smiled, picked up a soup spoon, carefully ladled out a bowl, scooped up another spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, and then handed it to Liu Yifei's lips.
"Honey, have some soup to warm your stomach first. This soup has been simmering for a while. Matsutake mushrooms and ginseng are both good things from Changbai Mountain. Drinking this soup is also good for the baby's development."
Liu Yifei playfully tilted her head back slightly, smiled sweetly, and drank it down.
The warm broth glides down your throat, carrying the freshness of the free-range chicken, the aroma of matsutake mushrooms, the subtle sweetness of ginseng, and the sweetness of red dates, warming you all the way to your heart.
She sighed contentedly, her eyes shining like stars: "It's so delicious!"
"Honey, this soup is so delicious!"
"I never imagined my husband could cook so well! You're such an all-around amazing man!"
Lin Lang was amused by Liu Yifei's greedy look and picked up a golden and crispy wild vegetable and egg pancake and handed it to her.
"Honey, try this. It's a freshly made wild vegetable and egg pancake, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
Liu Yifei took the egg and took a big bite. The fresh aroma of wild vegetables mixed with the rich fragrance of the local eggs spread in her mouth. The texture was crispy yet soft and chewy, so delicious that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Delicious! Honey, the breakfast you made is a hundred times better than what you buy at breakfast shops!"
"Silly girl, take your time eating. I have an important morning meeting at the company, so I'll be going now!" Lin Lang got up and kissed Liu Yifei on the cheek.
Although Liu Yifei was very reluctant to part, she still obediently and sensibly said, "Business is important, honey, drive safely on the road. Love you! Mwah~"
"I love you even more, my husband!" Lin Lang kissed Liu Yifei goodbye.
Lang Ge left in a hurry because he couldn't wait to see his son with Pan Xiaoting and to deliver nourishing soup and a loving breakfast to Pan Xiaoting, who was still in postpartum confinement.
