The green pepper beef sauce in the pot was simmering with a gurgle, and the hot air was mixed with the spicy scent of chili, spreading an enticing aroma throughout the entire yard.

Originally, there were to be more ingredients added, but Seventh Uncle, after scooping a bit with a spoon and tasting it gently, was already thoroughly content.

He told Seventh Grandma, “Turn off the heat, let it simmer.”

Then turning his head, he asked everyone, “Noodles or rice for lunch? It’s too late to knead dough for buns, but we can make flatbreads.”

Was that even a question?!

In such blazing hot weather, it was undoubtedly going to be noodles!

Qiaoqiao then looked at the green peppers that had just been prepared, “Are we still going to make stuffed green peppers and scrambled eggs?”

“No need!” Seventh Uncle waved his hand: “With this sauce for lunch, I don’t think anyone will care about anything else.”

He then turned to light another stove, sizzling a few crispy, fragrant fried eggs in the pan, before smashing some garlic in the remaining oil and stir-frying a huge bowl of greens.

At another end, Qiaoqiao had already scooped out the boiled noodles and rinsed them with cold water.

Held in the same stainless steel basin, Zu Jun, feeling completely at home, was silently coming over with a pair of chopsticks in one hand and a large bowl in the other.

A bowl of white, cool noodles, topped with a spoonful of green pepper beef sauce, mixed well, and then garnished with a few slices of leafy greens, topped with a fragrant fried egg…

In other words, for such a lunch, he wouldn’t trade even for abalone, sea cucumbers, or shark’s fin!

And then, he stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth–!!!

In that instant, the spicy heat of the chili burst in his mouth like a lit firecracker, making him let out an involuntary cry!

Despite it being cold, Zu Jun was panting incessantly as he ate, resembling a little dog and lacking any of the steady composure of a junior secretary.

Another who was slurping his food noisily was Sun Shouping, whose presence usually went unnoticed.

Wu Lan even said to him politely, “Look at you, coming from so far away; I said we’d stew a couple of pieces of meat for you…”

“No need for meat, no need!”

Sun Shouping quickly shook his head, his mouth full–With such a meal, who needs meat!

He couldn’t help but stuff in another big bite–hiss! So spicy!

But while it was spicy, his mouth was watering uncontrollably, and he couldn’t help but yearn for more. When the spice became unbearable, he didn’t want to drink too much water and “fill up his memory,” instead he hastened to pick up a chopstick-full of leafy greens.

The flavour of the greens instantly washed over him with refreshing relief.

Finally, after eating another bite of the crispy fried egg to ease the spice… the cycle repeated endlessly.

When he came to his senses, he had already served himself another large bowl of noodles.

Zhang Yanping was sitting next to him, also having eaten till his belly was round. The fullness on his face could not be hidden by his sturdy frame.

He proudly asked, “How is it? I told you that you’d need two bowls, right?”

Sun Shouping, however, spoke seriously: “I need three bowls!”

Seventh Uncle was getting on in years and couldn’t handle such gluttony. He and Seventh Grandma always ate slowly, chewing thoroughly, using time to trick their appetites.

At that moment, without raising his head, he said indifferently, “The digestives are in the basket in the corridor, chew a couple if you can’t hold it.”

Sun Shouping: …

He silently looked at his bowl, then immediately stood up.

“I’ll go have a couple now.”

Maybe after that, he could have another bowl.

Zhang Yanping: …

He didn’t say anything else, only quickly placed the prepared tea within reach–His brother had come from afar, and although he was here to take care of his dog, he couldn’t very well let him get sick from overeating!

Zu Jun, however, was coveting the large basin of green pepper beef sauce, and now gazed at Song Youde, who was equally satisfied eating it with two small cups of liquor, and sighed deeply.

“Such tasty food, I wonder if my grandfather ever had the chance to eat it? His generation certainly suffered a lot. Now that they’re old, everything they eat seems tasteless…”

Song Youde slapped his thigh, “Exactly! The life you young people lead can’t compare to our times! Not to mention anything else, just take delivering grain. I carried a basket for tens of miles. Which one of you could do that?”

Secretary Xiaozu couldn’t help stamping her foot– the conversation had strayed!

Thankfully, Song Youde quickly redirected his gaze:

“Xiaozu, don’t worry about it. Our sauce can’t be sold without that what’s-it-called certificate, right? How about this, when you go back, Tantan, do you still have any of those jars you used for honey? Give Xiaozu a couple to send back.”

“It’s homemade, don’t be shy.”

Secretary Xiaozu was over the moon, yet shy and embarrassed, “Grandpa, I was thinking of taking five, six, seven, eight jars…”

Song Youde was stunned.

He looked at the sauce, then at her, “The sauce can’t be kept for long, you know! At most a month, and it needs to be in the fridge in this weather.”

Secretary Xiaozu smiled even more sheepishly:

“There are quite a few… grandfather’s…”

Well, with things having reached this point, how could he refuse?

Song Youde just laughed heartily, “Later, I’ll have Tantan help you pack them.”

Sun Shouping, who was listening on the side with a cheek stuffed full and bulging, could only stare blankly at the village secretary, thinking to himself how politically savvy they are–he hadn’t thought of that!

Now looking at Song Youde, he felt it was too embarrassing to just outright ask for a favor, so he could only gaze pitifully at Zhang Yanping.

Zhang Yanping: …

“Alright, alright. I’ll bring you a couple of bottles–come on, brother, let’s have some tea first so we don’t get bloated.”

Sun Shouping was deeply touched and indeed lifted his teacup.

…

The whole courtyard was filled with warmth and contentment, except for the lone phone propped at the side of the stove, still expending its last ounce of energy.

It had already popped up a low-battery warning, and the people in the live broadcast had gone from silent to slurping and then numbness.

[So is the host forgetting he’s still broadcasting?]

[Damn it! Send the address, I’m charging over there to kill him ‘7 in and 7 out’, taking 7 bottles and jars with me!]

[Let’s disperse. It’s not interesting anymore, not even a shadow in sight…slurp]

[Eating broadcasts are so out of style now ahhhh!]

[I’m angry, the host doesn’t respect us fans at all; he doesn’t have me in his heart! Unless he lets me taste that sauce]

[Please, host! Think of the children! I don’t care if you have the certificate or not, sell me two bottles first. I could wipe them clean in one meal.]

In the live broadcast room saliva and tears flew together, leaving a scene of utter desolation.

And even more tragically, the phone emitted a “beep” as it quickly ran out of battery and shut down.

Everyone: …

Qiaoqiao also heard the sound and frantically stood up, “Ah! Teacher Qiaoqiao forgot about the kids!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Song Tan comforted him: “Didn’t you already teach the kids how to pick peppers today? Not ending the class was also to give everyone a chance to review. If the phone is off, it’s off–do you still want to eat eggs?”

Qiaoqiao felt a bit disheartened, “But I was planning to show the kids my Ultraman…”

Song Tan had spent 188 to buy Qiaoqiao a one-meter-tall Seiro Ultraman, which was now placed in his room. Every day he made sure to take out the Ultraman and vigorously engage in battle with the imaginary monsters in the air to his satisfaction.

Now unable to show off, Qiaoqiao experienced the bitterness of ‘dressed in fine silk but passing unnoticed’ at his tender age, indeed a profound educational experience.
