Chapter 541: I’m Not Going Out Tonight
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tonight, Su Shen was not going out. After all, with his robust physique, even if he were to stand naked in the snow, one would still believe he could withstand the harsh cold.
However, Gu Zi, his wife, would naturally show appropriate concern. She took Su Shen’s hand and asked, “Why did you come home so early today? If you’re going out later, you should put on an extra coat. It’s quite chilly at night.”
Gu Zi didn’t know if Su Shen had heard the words that Su Li had shouted earlier, but she didn’t plan to bring it up herself. Instead, she changed the subject, as she didn’t particularly want to discuss the issue of having children unless Su Shen brought it up himself.
Seeing that Gu Zi didn’t mention the earlier conversation, Su Shen didn’t bring it up either. He replied, “Yesterday when you brought me food, didn’t you say we were running out of meat at home? So, I brought some meat back. Gu Zi, I’m not going out tonight.”
Upon hearing Su Shen’s last sentence, Gu Zi felt a hint of ambiguity, as if he was implying something. However, she was also looking forward to it. After all, he had been busy, and they hadn’t been intimate for several days. Gu Zi moved to the sofa to rest her feet, her eyes slightly widened, and she responded with a sweet smile, “Alright, let’s have hot pot tonight as a family. We’ll make it to your taste, a clear soup hot pot!”
Seeing her smile, Su Shen felt a wave of sweetness surge from the bottom of his heart, making his deep voice infinitely tender, “Alright, I’ll prepare the ingredients. You rest.”
The man didn’t say much more and went into the kitchen. After Gu Zi had rested for a while, she also went into the kitchen. She needed to prepare the clear soup base for the hot pot.
Su Shen prepared the ingredients and placed all the vegetables for the hot pot on the dining table. He then returned to the kitchen, humbly asking for advice, “Do you have any secrets for making clear soup hot pot? I want to learn so I can prepare the soup base in the future.”
He just wanted to do more for her. The more he did, the more secure he felt in possessing her.
Gu Zi was used to this man’s eagerness to learn and didn’t bother to say anything. If he wanted to learn, she would show him.
Gu Zi calmly chopped the green onions and ginger, washed three large red dates and placed them with the onions and ginger. She then took out an old hen from the refrigerator and told Su Shen, “I bought this chicken at the village market. It’s best to stew it with pork bones for the soup base.”
As she spoke, she took out the pork bones and was about to wash them when she suddenly felt a lightness in her hand. She looked up in confusion, meeting the man’s dark, shining eyes. Those eyes were deep, soft, and devoid of the usual aloofness, staring straight at her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks flushed a little. The man’s eyes were filled with unspoken affection, which she understood perfectly.
Seeing her blush, Su Shen’s lips curled into a gentle smile. He then turned around to work, telling her, “I’ll wash. You just give the instructions.”
On the surface, he seemed calm, but in his mind, he was replaying the scene where she had curled her fingers slightly under his gaze. He didn’t show it, but his heart had quickened at that moment. He always loved watching her in various states.
The ambiguous atmosphere seemed to breed and ferment in a delicate and intricate manner, spreading rapidly.
She stood beside him, her eyes downcast, her dense eyelashes casting a shadow over them, making her look gentle and attractive.
Gu Zi felt that when a man was responsible enough and cared enough for his wife, the wife would unconsciously become gentle and submissive. That was exactly how she felt at that moment.
Since he wanted to learn, she naturally had to teach him carefully. She told him in a sweet voice, “Actually, making a clear soup hot pot base is very simple. You just need to pay attention to a few things.
“First, all the ingredients should be soaked in cold water for an hour. This allows the nutrients inside the ingredients to solidify, making the soup flavorful and delicious.
“Second, when making the soup, we need to add ginger, green onions, cooking wine, and peppercorns to enhance the flavor and remove any unpleasant smells. This is the key to ensuring the unique taste of the clear soup hot pot base!Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂/p/ters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c/𝒐/m
“Third, we need to add enough water at once. When the water is boiled dry, we need to add boiling water to the soup pot, not cold water. Basically, these are the three points. Su Shen, have you remembered them?”
As Gu Zi spoke, she was drawn in by the man’s gaze. After he finished washing the pork bones, he had been staring at her. His gaze was like a gentle ray of sunshine, warm and deep, piercing her heart, making her involuntarily immerse herself in his gaze, and unconsciously meet his eyes.
Su Shen’s lips curled up slightly, his faint smile was very attractive. He nodded, “I’ll remember.” After saying this, he finally took his attention away from her and went to make the soup.
