 Chapter 302: Bought a Cow

"Mother, this kelp is delicious too." Chu Jin took a bite of the kelp strip, crunchy and tender, much better than he had imagined.


"Kelp?" Chu Heng found it in the bowl with his chopsticks, picked it up, and examined it. "Is this something from the seaside?"


"Yes, we're not far from the river, so there are often merchants coming and going. This kelp is harvested from the sea, coated with sea salt, and dried in the sun. It can be preserved for a long time. If not for this, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this today." Ye Muyu explained. She felt a bit regretful for not having real Kanto-style hot pot, which uses bonito fish and kelp to make the broth, giving it a rich and savory flavor.


Having failed to find bonito fish, she had to substitute it with common river fish. Although it lacked the freshness of the sea, the broth's taste was still good, making it a decent dish.


She made a large pot of it.


Apart from the portions she sent to the villagers, there were two big bowls left for the family.


After asking the question, Chu Heng began to eat, sampling each dish. By the time he felt full, he had eaten quite a lot.


Chu Jin, who eat alongside him, was in the same state.


Both father and son stood up with their slightly bulging stomachs.


Chu Ziluo eat slowly and didn't overeat. Seeing her father and brother, she grinned at Ye Muyu "Mother, the dishes you made are so delicious. Father and brother are both full."


"Burp..." Chu Jin couldn't hold back a satisfied burp, patted his belly, and said, "Mother, I want to eat more tomorrow morning."


Chu Heng's face looked somewhat solemn, making it difficult for others to figure out what he was thinking.


But he didn't voice any objection to the words of the two children. Apparently, he was quite satisfied with the meal.


"If you like it, I'll keep cooking. However, this can't be considered a full meal. You'll need to drink porridge tomorrow morning." Ye Muyu said with a sense of accomplishment. In her past life, she rarely cooked and not many people had tasted her dishes, let alone praised her cooking.


Now, seeing the satisfied expressions of her children and husband, Ye Muyu's mood improved.


"Forgot to tell you, you can drink milk in the morning." Chu Heng, rubbing his stomach discreetly, continued, "Before I came back this afternoon, I received news that there are cows specifically raised for milk on the grasslands now. I thought you could use milk for making soft fragrant cakes, so I brought one back for you."


"Aren't you the one who said drinking milk is good for health?"


"I arranged for Luchuan to learn how to milk from the person who sold us the cow. I'll have him teach it to Hu Shi. If you need it, just ask her to do it. Don't do it yourself. I heard that some techniques are incorrect and may lead to injuries from the cows kicking." When Chu Heng mentioned the latter part, his tone became more serious.


He forced Ye Muyu to promise not to milk the cow personally.


"I won't do it. Someone will do it for me. Why would I do it?" Ye Muyu blinked her eyes.


"No, you have to promise me." Chu Heng stared into her eyes.


Ye Muyu wanted to lie but she didn't have much confidence. Chu Heng was already clever and if she hesitated, he would probably figure it out.


Although she was a bit curious and wanted to try milking, faced with Chu Heng's insistence, she could only compromise. "Fine, I won't do it myself. I'll just watch from the side, okay?"


"At least maintain a six-foot distance." Chu Heng, rarely softening his attitude, allowed Ye Muyu to reluctantly agree to this safety requirement.


Six feet, equivalent to two meters, wasn't too far.
