43 Cabbage Stewed Tofu

Inside the Green Jade Residence.

With a crack, the eggshell shattered. The egg yolk dropped into the bowl with the egg white and was quickly mixed by Yu Qianqian with chopsticks.

She stirred the sliced tofu twice. The white tofu was wrapped in a layer of yellow egg yolk.

Then, with a shake of her chopsticks, the tofu fell into the iron pot.

Hot oil sizzled. The tofu was fried until both sides were golden.

Dang Gui squatted beside the stove and spoke as she stuffed charcoal into it.

“When I went to get the charcoal just now, I heard that Young Master was back.”

Yu Niaoniao focused on frying the tofu and casually replied, “Oh.”

Dang Gui was filled with anticipation. “It’s all thanks to you that Young Master’s grievances were washed away. Master and Madam will definitely be very grateful to you. Perhaps they’ll come back later to thank you!”

She knew that Mrs. Jiang did not like Yu Niaoniao.

That was understandable. After all, she wasn’t born from her womb. It would definitely be challenging to get close to her.

But that was no longer the case. If Yu Niaoniao became Yu Sheng’s savior, Mrs. Jiang would definitely change her attitude towards her.

With the support of her family, even if Yu Niaoniao did not have a good life after getting married in the future, she would still have her family to help her. She would not be alone and helpless.

Yu Niaoniao was too focused on the food to think about anything else.

She put the fried tofu into the casserole, lined it with cabbage, quail eggs, and mushrooms, and poured in the prepared sauce. She covered the pot and let it simmer.

The soup gurgled when it was boiled.

The scent spread.

Dang Gui sniffed hard and drooled.

When it was about time, Yu Niaoniao lifted the pot’s lid and placed a handful of soft noodles inside before continuing to cook.

Dang Gui looked longingly at the casserole, like a puppy waiting to be fed.

“Is it not ready yet?”

As she cut the vegetables, Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t worry. It’ll be done soon.”

Dang Gui craned her neck to see and couldn’t help but ask when she saw her chopping mutton.

“Are you preparing mutton stew, miss?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Preparing to make mutton soup.”

Dang Gui was filled with anticipation.

She actually didn’t like mutton much because it had a bad smell no matter what she did.

However, as long as it was Miss’s cooking, it would definitely be delicious!

Yu Niaoniao opened the casserole and fiddled with her chopsticks before saying.

“Dinner is ready.”

Dang Gui cheered. “We can finally eat!”

She extinguished the fire in the stove and wrapped the casserole in the lingering warmth of the charcoal fire.

Yu Niaoniao used her chopsticks to pick up sparkling and smooth vermicelli and placed it in her bowl.

The vermicelli soaked into the soup, and the smell became very strong.

Dang Gui took a bite and ate a piece of tofu. She immediately gasped from the heat.

So hot! But so delicious!

It was also stewed tofu. The tofu stewed by the chef of the Yu Residence had a light and soft taste, but the tofu stewed by Yu Niaoniao was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Just as the two were enjoying themselves, Yu Pingping suddenly came to the Green Jade Residence.

She smelled the rich aroma the moment she entered the room and swallowed involuntarily.

“What are you guys eating?”

“Cabbage stewed with tofu,” Dang Gui asked warmly as she stood up. “Do you want to sit down and eat with us, Second Miss?”

She guessed that the other party had specially come here to thank Yu Qianqian for saving Yu Sheng.

This was a good opportunity to close the relationship!

Yu Pingping glanced at the dishes in the sand pot and suppressed her desire. She pretended to be surprised and asked.

“So it’s cabbage stewed with tofu. I thought you guys were hiding and secretly eating something good. That’s it?”

Her expression and tone were just short of carving the word “despise” on her forehead.
