Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This fragrance startled not just Wei Man, but also Wei Xiao and Wei Ting, who were next to him, and they immediately put down their chopsticks in shock. They hurriedly asked the stupefied Chang Qing what she had cooked. How was it so fragrant?
Chi Shuyan, who was very familiar with the fragrance of the spirit rice, smiled.
Chi Lingyan smiled as well when he smelled it. This thing was good for the body, and would be good for Old Wei.
Chang Qing was really stupefied at that moment, and hurriedly said that it was the rice which Wei Ting had brought back from Old Chi’s house. She thought that Yan Yan might like porridge more, and was afraid that there wasn’t enough food, so she cooked some of the rice which Ah Ting had brought back from Old Chi’s house yesterday.
This kid had gone empty-handed to Old Chi’s house but had come back with rice.
And why did this smell seem more and more familiar? It seemed like the porridge which Old Chi had given to Old Wei to nurse his internal injuries back then? Wei Xiao obviously had the same thought as Chang Qing at that moment, and his face turned solemn. “Old Chi, is this the same kind of rice you gave me when I was injured?”
Chang Qing also immediately stared at Old Chi. She was well aware that when Old Wei had suddenly been seriously injured back then, it was this rice which had saved him from the gates of h.e.l.l and even healed his internal injuries. She was forever grateful to Old Chi because of this matter, so she was naturally well aware of how precious and rare this thing was.
Chi Lingyan knew that the effects of the spirit rice this time weren’t as prominent as last time, so he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He nodded and said, “Mm! The effect of this rice is a bit worse than last time, but if you eat it for a long time, the effect isn’t bad either!”
Wei Xiao and Changqing immediately sucked in their breaths, especially Old Wei. At the thought of how this spirit rice porridge had healed his internal injuries after he ate it for a few days, Wei Xiao couldn’t remain calm anymore.
Chang Qing couldn’t calm down either. She hadn’t thought much of it, so she now rushed to the kitchen to see how the porridge was cooking.
She even picked up the bag of spirit rice, but didn’t know where to put it. In the end, Wei Xiao personally put the small bag of rice in the safe.
When Old Wei and Chang Qing came out again, Wei Ting and Wei Man were stupefied. When their father had been injured, they hadn’t been at home, so they had no idea what their parents and Uncle Chi were talking about.
When Wei Man smelled the increasingly fragrant porridge, he didn’t care how his parents and Uncle Chi seemed to be talking in riddles, and directly said to his mother, “Mom, I want to eat the porridge! Why does it smell so good? The more I smell it, the more fragrant it is! It’s too fragrant!”
Chang Qing’s heart ached at the thought that she had poured a lot of the rice in just now to cook. Thinking of how rare and useful it was, she was very distressed.
Wei Ting didn’t understand why his parents were so antsy over the porridge. He could understand if it was just his mother, but his father was unusually on edge and even hid the small bag of rice in the safe.
Even when it came to their family’s savings or his mother’s precious stone and jade, his father had never thought much about them. Thinking of how this rice was priced at tens of thousands for half a kilogram in the Taobao shop which Shuyan had shown him last night, Wei Ting wondered if Sister Shuyan had been tricked again. Looking at his parents’ expressions now, however, Wei Ting instinctively sensed that this rice was extraordinary.
He couldn’t help but take a few more glances in Shuyan’s direction, but saw that she was very calm and collected.
At that moment, Wei Xiao, couldn’t help but blurt out to Chi Lingyan, “Old Chi, hurry up and tell me, how did you get this rice? Also, do you have any left for yourself? Don’t give me an entire bag of such good stuff!”
