Chapter 673: Unpalatable Food
Li Donglong couldn't embarrass his mother, let alone dampen her enthusiasm.
He took the lead and picked up the chopsticks, glancing at his three younger siblings.
Li Xifeng's hands were shaking slightly, and she really didn't have the courage to use her chopsticks.
Li Nanfei was smiling. He still had the basic qualities of an actor.
As for the stupid sister, this is how a real foodie should behave.
When I see something delicious, I will definitely rush to the front. ✤
But if she doesn't think it tastes good, she will try her best to eat it.
As for the food that I can't even put down, I can only say that the food made by my mother is really a bit of a test.
Li Donglong stretched out his chopsticks and landed on the plate of food in front of him that was burnt yellow with black burnt texture and didn't look like silk. After identifying it for a long time, he said: "Mom, this is..."
"Potato shreds." Murong Xue explained with a hint of pride on her pretty face as she looked at Li Donglong.
The corners of Li Donglong's mouth twitched slightly. He really didn't want to dislike his mother.
But...he really didn't recognize this dish as shredded potatoes.
"Ah...haha! Shredded potatoes." Li Donglong smiled. Under the gazes of Li Xifeng, Li Nanfei and Li Beiwu, his fingers trembled slightly and picked up a handful of potatoes that were still edible. Silk.
There was nothing wrong with the smell. Li Donglong murmured in his heart and mustered up the courage to put it in his mouth.
In line with the principle of keeping his mouth shut while eating without making any noise, Li Donglong didn't think much about it.
Just as soon as he put it in his mouth, his expression changed.
His originally normal face turned red instantly, and then turned pale, and he couldn't help but want to vomit.
But seeing the expectant look on Murong Xue's face, Li Donglong could only swallow it alive.
Li Xifeng silently handed over the water glass and gave Li Donglong a questioning look, Brother, can you still bear it?
Li Donglong drank the entire glass of water, but he still felt it was not enough.
So he stood up, poured a glass of water, and poured it into his stomach again.
When Murong Xue saw her eldest son's reaction, she knew without asking how much of a failure this dish was.
Li Donglong slowed down, thought about it for a moment, and almost vomited it out, but decided not to think about it anymore.
"Is it so unpalatable?" Murong Xue muttered, then picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
"Ahem——"
The next second, Murong Xue vomited it out and shouted frantically.
Li Nanfei immediately handed over the water glass and said, "Mom, is it delicious?"
Murong Xue was not in the mood to pay attention to her little son who was watching the theater. She raised her head and drank all the water in the glass, still feeling choked and spicy.
The key is that the saltiness makes it bitter.
After waiting for a long time, Li Donglong asked thoughtfully: "Mom, do you put...mustard in your fried shredded potatoes?"
Murong Xue smiled awkwardly and said: "There seems to be no chili powder at home, so I just..."
Li Donglong, Li Xifeng and Li Nanfei slapped their foreheads at the same time. Li Beiwu, who was a little slower to react, immediately followed suit and slapped his forehead heavily.
Murong Xue was so angry that her liver hurt immediately.
These little bastards are so heartless.
As a mother, don’t you want to share the burden with your father?
Li Donglong looked at the rest of the dishes on the table. To be honest, he really didn't have the courage to eat them.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rings.
Li Beiwu immediately slid off the chair and said, "Xi Daba is back."
The little girl rushed to the door, stood on tiptoes, and opened the door.
I saw Li Chen standing at the door, the beard on his face growing in a circle.
The whole person suddenly seemed to have aged a lot.
"Daddy!" Li Beiwu saw the bearded Li Chen and was stunned for a long time before he recognized him.
The little girl immediately threw herself into Li Chen's arms with tears in her eyes, rubbing her delicate skin against Li Chen's rough face.
"What's wrong with you?"
In Xiao Wu's heart, Dad is handsome.
Although dada with a beard is also very handsome, she is not used to it.
Li Chen laughed, picked up the little girl with one hand, and sniffed.
So he sat down at Xiao Wu's seat, looked at the unspeakable dishes on the table, and took the initiative to pick up his chopsticks.
"Don't--"
Murong Xue was about to reach out to stop her, but it was already too late.
The four brothers and sisters Li Donglong saw their father put the food into his mouth, and the hand holding Xiao Wu clenched his fist obviously.
However, there was no expression of disgust on his face.
"Well, except for a little too much mustard and a little too much salt, the rest is okay. The fire should be lower when frying. Overall, it's pretty good." Li Chen commented while eating.
Murong Xue quickly held Li Chen's hand and said, "I know what the food I cook looks like, so don't comfort me here."
Seeing that his wife seemed to have tasted it, Li Chen silently picked up Xiao Wu's water glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then handed the water glass to Li Donglong.
The eldest son understood immediately and poured him a full glass.
Murong Xue's excitement just now was instantly washed away by the father and son.
She punched Li Chen hard on the arm and was so angry that she didn't want to speak.
Li Chen laughed, kissed Murong Xue's flushed face, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"You..." Murong Xue was angry and ashamed. She found that the four little guys were looking at her with weird smiles on their faces, and stared at her, "What are you looking at? I haven't seen it."
"Not really!" Li Nanfei and the four of them laughed.
"Get lost!" Murong Xue blushed, "Let your dad cook you something delicious."
"Hey, Mom, you should be happy." Li Nanfei came up and said, "You are the fairy of our family, how can I make you tired? My dad should be in the kitchen with you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Beiwu clenched his fist and said, "Mama, just rest, otherwise Xiaowu will be hungry... Wuwuwu!"
Li Xifeng covered the stupid sister's mouth, please be more careful.
If you keep talking, we'll go hungry again.
Li Donglong winked and immediately followed Murong Xue quickly.
The two brothers, one on the left and the other on the right, massaged Murong Xue as if they were guardians.
Murong Xue couldn't help but feel angry and funny. Usually these little guys were not so diligent.
Nowadays, I really do everything I can to prevent myself from entering the kitchen.
But when she thought about her cooking skills that even the family dog disliked, she really felt a little heartbroken.
Couldn't God be more lenient and let me learn to cook?
Speaking of dogs, Murong Xue remembered that she had never seen Doudou and the others.
"Where's Doudou? Where's Tuan Yuan Yuan?" Murong Xue exclaimed.
She has been so distracted by Mrs. Gu recently that she has forgotten that there are small animals at home.
"Mom, Doudou and the others were sent back a few days ago." Li Nanfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ah? Is that so?" Murong Xue patted her forehead with one hand: "I'm old, I can't remember things."
