Chapter 569 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua

Baiyue City is located in the Central Plains, but now transportation is inconvenient and the journey is long, so very little food from the sea is delivered here for trade.

This basket of shrimp is obviously very expensive.

Li Lianhua is cleaning with a pig bristle brush.

“You’ve been away from home for three or four years now, you must be homesick. Even if it’s not because you ate it when you were a child, you’ve probably forgotten it now that you’re all grown up. Since we’ve run into it, let’s buy more so he can try our local specialty.”

Hua Xiaozhou squatted down to prepare the spices for the shrimp, her voice sweet and cheerful.

"My husband is the best. Let's make three dishes: one steamed dish, one stir-fried dish, and then a pot of shrimp soup with some dried goods. How about that?"

Li Lianhua couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Hua Xiaozhou was even happier to have successfully ordered the food. She decided to cook together and sneak out to buy some of Li Lianhua's favorite dishes while Li Lianhua was preparing shrimp.

He seems to have a special affinity for lotus flowers, and among vegetables, he prefers lotus root; he's quite good at making cold lotus root salad.

Like Hua Xiaozhou, he loves fish, especially fish soup, and also beef, which is one of the essential meats in his family.

However, Li Lianhua had a good opinion of the pork tripe and chicken soup, but unfortunately she didn't know how to cook it. But that didn't matter, she had money.

Chestnut stewed chicken is also delicious, but Hua Xiaozhou still doesn't know how to make it. She'll just buy some!

Xiangyunlou, the most popular restaurant in Baiyue City, is a favorite among many high-ranking officials and nobles, even though many families employ chefs.

She can make cold lotus root slices and fish soup herself, but Hua Xiaozhou ordered pepper beef, pork tripe and chicken, and chestnut stewed chicken.

While waiting for the food, Hua Xiaozhou bought fresh lotus root and a crucian carp weighing more than half a pound. The vendor had cleaned them very well. Tempted by the extra money, the lotus root was almost ready to be sliced, and the crucian carp was ready to be cooked.

Tonight's meal was incredibly lavish.

His family would come here every now and then, just like a feast, with all the family's favorite dishes on display, which is why the fox spirit always ended up with greasy paws after eating.

Summer is hot, and even the wind carries heat.

Hua Xiaozhou returned home carrying bundled lotus roots, crucian carp, and a lunchbox. Her hands and feet, which were usually cool, were warm, and a few beads of sweat clung to her forehead and nose.

"Li Lianhua!"

"Hey, Mom, I'm here!" Instead of rushing to answer, she ran over very fast to take the lunchbox.

Hua Xiaozhou moved her hand away and said:

"You're taking lotus root and fish; the lunchbox is too heavy."

Not wanting to take the fish and lotus root, Li Lianhua also came out of the kitchen and took the lunchbox.

"What did you buy? It's so heavy!"

Hua Xiaozhou shook his slightly sore arms, then rubbed his head against Li Lianhua's shoulder and wiped the sweat off his face with his clothes.

"It's delicious, I'm sure you'll like it. Let's have a nice meal tonight."

Li Lianhua stood firmly, letting Hua Xiaozhou rub against her before walking inside, saying as she went:

"Is there beef in it? I can smell it, pepper beef?"

Hua Xiaozhou's eyes shone like stars as she nodded repeatedly.

"It smells so good! I've been craving it the whole way here. Honey, is the shrimp ready? Let's eat, shall we?"

"Alright, it's all served. We'll set the table for dinner in a bit."

"Yay! Time to eat!" Buwei skipped and jumped into the kitchen, with the fox spirit wagging its tail and following closely behind. It felt like it couldn't smell anything anymore; so many delicious-smelling foods were making it so hungry.

Hua Xiaozhou couldn't help but laugh as she watched the vixen disappear into the kitchen.

The fox spirit is almost eight years old, and she's still as greedy as a puppy.
