Chapter 272: The First Bite

Upon hearing Ye Lulu’s words, the girl wanted to drink the bowl of pork bone soup first. The maidservant took a silver spoon and scooped up the soup. She blew on it and fed it to the girl. After the girl opened her mouth and took a sip, she didn’t want the maidservant to feed her anymore. She raised her little hand to hold the bowl and leaned over to drink it.

The maidservant was dumbfounded.

The girl drank it slowly. Her expression was listless when she disembarked the ship, but now, she gradually had an appetite. The impatience and rejection on her face disappeared.

The girl smacked her lips. She had drunk expensive soup in the mansion, such as broth with all kinds of processed ingredients. It could be said that she had never drunk such a direct and primitive pure pork bone soup.

As the fragrant and rich pork bone soup entered her mouth, the temperature was suitable. It was not hot and there was a very strong fragrance… It was warm and hot, but the taste was not annoying at all. On the contrary, because it was very simple, the girl felt that after drinking it, her body felt much more comfortable.

She revealed an interested expression. She quite liked drinking it. She took small sips and leaned her head over to the bowl to drink for a while. Then, she finished the small bowl of soup.

This was not a big bowl of pork bone soup. The silver bowl was very exquisite, but compared to the amount of soup ordinary girls drank at home in teacups, this bowl of pork bone soup was still a lot.

The young mistress had actually drunk all of it.

The maidservants present were dumbfounded again.

Even the woman was surprised. Before Malatang entered her mouth, she looked at the girl and said, “Qin’er, do you like to drink this? Is your stomach no longer uncomfortable? Do you still feel like vomiting?”

The girl, Qin’er, shook her head and burped. She smacked her lips and said softly, “I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore. It’s comfortable.”

The woman was shocked.

Ye Lulu did not have much of a reaction. She had just been seasick and vomited because her stomach was uncomfortable. Drinking some warm soup that wasn’t fishy… wasn’t that suitable in the first place?

The girl started to eat Malatang. The maidservant went forward and wanted to pick up some vegetables and rinse them with water before feeding the girl. There were servants in the mansion who waited on their masters to eat, not to mention that the girl was so young. The servants around her must have been thoughtful.

Furthermore, it was so troublesome to rinse the vegetables with water this time. It would have to be done by someone else.

Therefore, the maidservant started to work as expected.

“I’ll eat it myself.” However, the girl pushed the maidservant away and took the chopsticks!

The maidservant was dumbfounded again.

The young mistress… would like to use a pair of chopsticks herself to grab something to eat?

Qin’er was addicted to doing things herself today. From the moment she picked the ingredients, she felt a different kind of joy, so she was filled with excitement and wanted to eat them herself in high spirits.

Hence, she pushed the maidservant away.

This maidservant was Qin’er’s personal maidservant. Her name was Ruoruo. Now, Ruoruo was completely stunned. Didn’t the young miss hate to eat the most? Why would she eat by herself now…

However, while Ruoruo was still in a daze, the girl had already picked up her chopsticks. She still knew how to use chopsticks. She was a daughter from a noble family, but she was not equivalent to a cripple. It was just that she did not need to use her chopsticks most of the time.

The girl held her chopsticks and picked up a mushroom curiously. According to Ye Lulu’s instructions, she rinsed it in water first. Then, she opened her mouth and placed the mushroom in it.

The girl chewed slowly. Ruoruo, who was beside her, looked at her nervously. She didn’t know if the red soup was spicy or if the young mistress could eat it.

Ye Lulu looked over as well. The girl revealed a puzzled but excited expression. She ate the mushroom and said:

“This taste is so fresh. Why haven’t we eaten it in the mansion before? Don’t the cooks in the mansion know how to cook this?”

“It’s a little spicy…” The girl opened her mouth and sucked in a cold breath. Rongrong, who had just been scolded by Ye Lulu, immediately seized the opportunity. She looked over fiercely and was about to scold Ye Lulu.

After Qin’er sucked in a cold breath, she said in a tender voice, “But it can be eaten… It’s a little delicious, and it’s so strange. I want to eat again after eating it. I want to eat so much.”

Didn’t this mean the food was appetizing?!

It was not bad. Food like Malatang with a little spiciness was appetizing.

For those who had small appetites like the girl, who had just experienced seasickness and felt disgusted, to be honest, after drinking the soup to warm their stomachs, it was very appetizing to eat some spicy food.

Initially, everyone thought that the young miss might not eat anymore after taking two bites.

Unexpectedly, after the little girl ate the mushroom, she picked up a piece of beancurd sheet and ate it. Then, she picked up a chicken meatball with her chopsticks and ate it in small bites.

Looking at the girl’s eating posture, she would not stop anytime soon.

When the woman saw how her daughter was eating, she hesitated for a moment before picking up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks. Tofu was the woman’s favorite food in the mansion as she liked the fragrance of beans and the tender tofu, and it was also easy to eat.

The woman thought that no matter how the tofu was done, it… shouldn’t be bad, right? Then she would try this piece of tofu first.

The woman gracefully picked up the tofu and ate it… She was stunned for a moment.

It was a completely different taste.

The ingredients of tofu selected from the mansion were definitely of the best quality. Tofu only had the fragrance of beans and did not have any strange taste. It was also the most tender when made.

Moreover, it was often accompanied by the mellow taste of chicken soup or top-grade ingredients such as sea cucumbers…

However, she had never had such a taste.

It was simple, direct, and rough.

As soon as she ate it, the tender texture of tofu spread in her mouth. Along with it was a fresh and spicy taste. The combination of the two was unusually novel, but it was also very good.

The woman was stunned. Her lips parted slightly. She felt that it was a little too spicy, but she also felt that… this taste was very fresh and impactful.

It was not that the woman could not eat spicy food. On the contrary, she liked this kind of spicy taste a little. It was just that the noble madam rarely ate spicy food, and she had not eaten it many times.

Now that they were eating…

The woman felt that she actually quite liked it.

She looked at the girl eating happily and finally understood why her daughter was eating like this.

The girl was still eating. She finished the fishball with interest and said in a childish voice, “I like fishballs. Fishballs are better than chicken meatballs.”

Everyone was silent.

The young mistress actually opened her mouth to comment. She carefully tasted it and then said which one she liked more?!

When she was having her meal in the mansion, she would only turn her face away and not eat any of them!

She had never taken the initiative like this!

Only desserts such as well-made cherry cheesecake could make her smile and eat more smoothly!

Furthermore!

Didn’t the young mistress dislike fish meat? Why was she eating fishballs so eagerly and saying that she liked them?!
