Xuanxuan was eating with delight.

Even though the ginger and walnut scrambled eggs were a tad spicy, she really enjoyed them, unlike some children who can’t handle spice at all.

Indeed.

Ever since she was young, she liked foods made with ginger, like ginger stomach slices, ginger chicken, ginger soup noodles, etc., but her favorite and most tasted dish was the ginger and walnut scrambled eggs her grandmother Song Cailian made by hand.

That soft and smooth texture, spicy yet sweet flavor, made her feel spicy and happy.

Once tasted, unforgettable, and a desire to eat more.

She often recalled that taste!

"Ah, it’s a bit spicy~" Xuanxuan’s mouth was bulging, and her shout was vague.

"Delicious, Grandma’s ginger and walnut scrambled eggs are delicious!"

Xuanxuan sipped air, yet she joyfully shouted.

"Spicy and sweet!" Huang Tao’s voice, as joyful as that of a child who hadn’t grown up.

Then, he scooped another spoonful before finishing, bringing it to his mouth as if placing a dissolvable sugar cake, instantly melting yet leaving a lingering taste.

Warmth for the stomach, comfort for the soul.

No matter how he praised his mom’s culinary skills, he felt it wasn’t enough.

Only his mom’s food withstands repeated eats, never tiring, never getting sick of, never annoyed, yet... easy to gain weight.

Undoubtedly, in his eyes, his mom’s food was always the most delicious on earth.

The food carried not only his warm memories but also his mom’s consistent selfless love.

Because these dishes were seasoned with love, making the food more fragrant, full of rich maternal love.

Song Cailian was washing clothes on the balcony, faintly hearing some of it; she couldn’t help but smile brightly.

The younger ones liked eating, making her happy too!

"Grandma, Xuanxuan wants to eat ginger and walnut scrambled eggs tomorrow too!"

While rinsing clothes, Xuanxuan happily ran over like a little yellow oriole singing joyfully in the woods, hugging her grandma’s waist and whining: "Please? Please?"

Of course!

But thinking of leaving this afternoon to prepare for work tomorrow and being unable to fulfill Xuanxuan’s request made her a bit helpless, she said: "Tomorrow isn’t possible, grandma has to leave with grandpa this afternoon."

Then she added: "Let’s wait for next week, next Saturday and Sunday morning, grandma will make it for you two times."

Really!

She wished she could make it for Xuanxuan every day!

But the little one felt a tad low hearing grandma’s words, holding grandma’s clothes, pouting: "But it takes several days until next Saturday and Sunday!"

Saying this, she blinked her eyes, counting days on fingers, muttering: "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."

"Five days before I can eat it!"

She stretched five little fingers, lifting them high before Song Cailian, shaking them.

"Yes, Xuanxuan is so smart, can count days now."

Song Cailian washed her hands and dried them, squatted down, picked up the little one, kissed the slightly low-spirited child, rubbing her nose against the child’s little face.

The child’s skin was as delicate as milk.

Xuanxuan fluttered her beautiful big eyes, pouting: "Grandma, why won’t you and grandpa stay a few more days? Xuanxuan likes grandma’s ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, daddy likes them too!"

Song Cailian looked at Xuanxuan’s pleading eyes, sighed lightly, saying: "Because grandpa and grandma need to go back to work tomorrow! The workplace is far from here, making it impossible to stay longer here; if they are late, the leader will reprimand them, just like Xuanxuan will be lectured by teachers if she’s late for school."

Xuanxuan thought about it carefully, recognizing grandma’s words made sense.

Though she was never late, some children were, and Teacher Ye and Teacher Xu would indeed give them a verbal reprimand.

The children then would lower their heads in sadness.

So, if grandpa and grandma were scolded by the leader for being late, their hearts would definitely feel uncomfortable too.

She reached her hand around grandma’s neck, smacking a kiss on grandma to comfort her: "Don’t be sad, Grandma, Xuanxuan can wait until next week to eat."

Song Cailian chuckled, reaching out to rub the considerate and gentle child’s head.

Not far away, Huang Tao was thinking, it’s indeed difficult to taste such delicious ginger and walnut scrambled eggs after mom goes back, especially when Xuanxuan wanted more.

If he could learn...

In the future, when mom is not here, he could make it for Xuanxuan occasionally.

Even just to satisfy cravings!

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but say: "Mom, when you have time, teach me how to make these ginger and walnut scrambled eggs?"

"Why? You want to learn? Fine, mom can teach you."

Song Cailian was slightly surprised, then nodded, softly, with a touch of reminiscent of her own mother: "These ginger and walnut scrambled eggs were taught to me by your grandmother!"

Her tone was filled with longing for her mother.

But every time she thought of her own mom, she couldn’t help but sigh: "If only your grandmother could live a few more years, how nice that would be!"

Huang Tao understood.

Mom was missing grandma again!

To avoid adding sorrow, Huang Tao laughed, steering the conversation: "Mom, what are the tips for making these ginger and walnut scrambled eggs? Tell me about them."

With a smile, Song Cailian shared her experience: "Ginger juice should be boiled with a little yellow wine, then pour the ginger juice into a bowl to cool..."

Just at this moment...

In Huang Tao’s mind, a cold electronic prompt suddenly sounded:

[The host is eager to learn, actively seeking mom’s advice on how to make ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, triggering the hidden task [Humble Learning], obtaining the Perfect Level ginger and walnut scrambled eggs cooking technique, would you like to receive the reward?]

Wow! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Huang Tao did not expect asking mom how to make ginger and walnut scrambled eggs would bring such a gain!

This is simply too delightful!

Since the hidden task has been completed and gained the reward, why wait?

Just claim it!

After all, it’s free, why not take it?

"Claim!"

He thought, chanting silently.

[Congratulations to the host for claiming the Perfect Level ginger and walnut scrambled eggs cooking technique reward, now distributing rewards.]

As the prompt ended.

A wealth of cooking techniques and experiences flooded Huang Tao’s mind, all related to ginger and walnut scrambled eggs.

The method wasn’t much different from what mom said.

After explaining, Song Cailian suggested: "Tao, maybe I’ll teach you when you’re done with the market!"

"Mom, no need to teach further, I know how to make them."

"Ah... already know how to make it?"

Song Cailian was slightly surprised.

But thinking her son could make dishes deliciously just by watching online instructional videos, learning after one mention, it seemed normal.

She had confidence in her son’s culinary skills!

Xuanxuan was too!
