Chapter 63: Delicious
Everyone entered the restaurant and saw Shi Anyu already sitting at the table early, looking at the food in front of him.
“Second Brother, don’t you usually not eat? Why are you so eager today?” Shi Anlei looked at Second Brother and teased.
“Oh, right, did Younger Sister make all these?” At this moment, Shi Anlei remembered why he had come back and quickly sat down.
“I didn’t make them, Xiao Xiao made them all!”
Shi An’an quickly waved her hands. “Xiao Xiao is amazing!”
“These few dishes were stir-fried using the vegetables An’an grew. Try them quickly.”
“Grandmother, you should try some.”
“Okay, good. You all eat too.”
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and at the same time picked up some of the vegetables Shi An’an had grown.
“Crunch”
Gao Jin Xiao bit into a piece of Chinese cabbage. It was crisp and tender, with a sweet and refreshing flavor melting in her mouth.
“Wow, so delicious!” Shi Lele ate a bite of stir-fried Tudou slices. They were soft and glutinous, full of Tudou flavor in her mouth. She declared that her favorite vegetable was Tudou!
“Delicious!” Shi Mu Guang praised repeatedly.
“Every dish is delicious. It seems the ingredients for the food are too important. This… pfft, why is this Tudou so bad and has no Tudou flavor at all.”
Gao Jin Xiao tried a bite of the dish ordered from the restaurant. Without comparison, there is no harm. It was really bad; none of the dishes were good.
Shi Zhen Guang nodded. “So, as long as the ingredients are good, no matter the culinary skills, it will be delicious.”
An Yun ate a bite of cold-dressed tomato and squinted her eyes in delight.
“I think we should open up another spot in the yard specifically for growing vegetables. Oh, and fruit too!”
“I agree!”
“Me too… mm… I agree!!!” Shi Anlei ate the food in big bites while raising his hand in agreement.
“Tsk, don’t talk while eating.”
Shi Anyu looked disgustedly at his younger brother; the meal was dripping everywhere.
An Yun took a photo of the meal in front of her and sent it to the group chat.
Shi Anshan: You’re bullying me for not being home!!!
Shi Anxin: We don’t get holidays to go home…
Shi Anshan: Younger Sister, we’re so pitiful. Hug~~
Shi Anxin: Oh, but An’an said that when school starts, she’ll bring me a portion of meal to try.
Shi Anshan: ………. Waaah…
Shi Anshan: @Eldest Brother, just the two of us are pitiful, can’t eat it…
Shi Anxin: Don’t @Eldest Brother anymore. Yesterday An’an had Brother Lin Xi bring Eldest Brother an entire space button of green plants. I heard there are lots of delicious fruits inside too…
Shi Anshan: !!! Younger Sister!!! @An’an @An’an @An’an @An’an…
“Ding…”
Shi An’an, who was eating, had her optical computer constantly notifying. When she opened it, she saw Fourth Brother had @ her countless times.
An’an: What’s wrong, Fourth Brother?
Shi Anshan: An’an, you’re biased! You sent Eldest Brother an entire space button of things. I want some too!!!
Shi Anshan: I’m the most pitiful. Not only can’t I see you, can’t eat the vegetables you grew, but also can’t receive the things you send!!!
An’an: Uh, didn’t I send you a green plant before too?
Shi Anshan: !!! It’s not mine anymore now. My comrade discovered it, and it became our legion’s shared property. Waaah…
Speaking of this, Shi Anshan wanted to cry. Back then, he had guarded it like a thief, but it was still discovered by those dog-nosed comrades.
He couldn’t keep the green plant, and now it had become their legion’s common property…
“An’an, eat quickly. If you don’t, your brothers will finish it all.”
Shi Zhen Guang looked disgustedly at his third son. He really didn’t want to admit this was his son.
“Mm, An’an…, eat quickly, eat quickly…” Shi Anlei said while eating big mouthfuls.
The others: “………” Disgust!
Shi An’an nodded. “You all eat. I’ve almost finished.”
Now that she was at Foundation Establishment Stage, it didn’t matter if she ate or not. But today they were eating what she had grown, and it had been a long time since she ate her own vegetables, so she couldn’t resist eating a bit more today.
An’an: Okay, Fourth Brother. I’ll mail it to you tomorrow. Remember to check for it then.
Shi Anshan: Great! Dear Younger Sister, love you ^3^!
Shi Anxin: An’an, don’t pity Fourth Brother. Just mail him one green plant tomorrow. Anyway, he can’t keep it.
Shi Anshan: That stings, little sis!
……
Shi An’an happily watched Fourth Brother and Older Sister bickering in the chat. She looked up again; half the table was empty, half full.
The empty side was the meal Xiao Xiao made, all eaten up, while the other side was ordered from the restaurant, and no one had touched it out of disgust.
“So full!” Shi Anlei held his belly, lying on the sofa, thoroughly enjoying it.
Shi Anyu stood up. “I’ll go sit in the yard.”
“Okay, go ahead.” An Yun nodded.
The others, full from the meal, didn’t want to move and sat together chatting idly.
Shi An’an looked at everyone and also went to the yard. She thought since they ate so many vegetables, they must be thirsty.
When she got to the yard, she saw Second Brother already lying on the recliner with his eyes closed.
Shi An’an quietly walked to a corner of the yard and found an open space, planting an orange seed.
She inputted spiritual power into the seed. This time, she only accelerated growth on this one.
“Meow~”
Xiu suddenly darted out from somewhere and lay beside Shi An’an.
He wouldn’t miss any chance to absorb spiritual energy.
An orange tree quickly grew, flowered, and bore fruit…
A few minutes later, a mature orange tree grew.
Shi An’an then planted a lemon tree on the other side…
Shi Anyu quietly watched as his younger sister grew one fruit tree at a time, then another…
Shi An’an looked at the yard and planted two climbing rose bushes on both sides of the house—pink Dragon Stone Gem variety.
Soon, the rose branches climbed up the pillars on both sides of the house.
Shi An’an controlled the growth of the rose branches, perfectly covering both sides of the house with roses without any messy growth.
It looked pleasing to the eye.
Then, Shi An’an mobilized spiritual power. The tender pink buds slightly bloomed, pink gem-like flowers swaying gracefully in the air. The overpowering floral fragrance instantly filled the entire yard, making it feel like being in a sea of flowers…
Shi An’an happily watched the blooming flowers. Seeing one pink gem flower beckoning to her, she reached out to cradle it and smiled gently.
“Click!”
Shi Anyu photographed that scene just now. It was very beautiful.
“Second Brother? You’re awake. Did I disturb you?” Shi An’an looked embarrassed at Second Brother standing behind her.
Shi Anyu shook his head. “No.” He looked up at the vibrant flowers. “Very pretty. What flower is this?”
“It’s Pink Dragon Stone Gem, a type of rose…”
Shi Anyu nodded. “Indeed like pink gems.” Then he looked down at the lion cub squatting on the ground, mesmerized by the flower wall.
“Is this the pet you adopted?”
Shi An’an looked at Tudou and smiled, nodding. “Yes, found on H11 planet. It’s been checked; it’s a purebred lion cub.
