——————

In the kitchen, all the dishes were ready, even the freshly slaughtered chicken had been chopped into pieces. Besides the chicken, there was a bass, the Chinese cabbage had been washed, and the dried radish that her mother-in-law had specifically told Xie Jingchen to bring had been soaked and expanded.

"I get it, stop nagging!" With a kitchen knife forced into her hand, Zhang Shan Ni stared at him speechlessly. Although her mouth protested his behavior, her face didn’t show any dissatisfaction. Instead, her bright apricot eyes playfully shot him a look of rebuke, revealing a coquettish charm of a little woman.

Having stayed at the Xie family home for a few days, Zhang Shan Ni’s complexion had lightened, making her delicate features even more striking. Having seen her wheat-colored cheeks in person, a single chide from her made Xie Jingchen’s heart feel as sweet as honey, his tiger-like eyes turned tame, it was like drinking a glass of ice-cold water on a scorching summer day, so refreshing and soothing!

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop messing around. It’s getting late, is there anything else I need to prepare?" Xie Jingchen cleared his throat softly and reluctantly let go of the large hand that had been resting on her slender waist, pretending to ask seriously.

Putting on airs.

Zhang Shan Ni glanced at her husband’s feigned seriousness and surveyed the ingredients. Recalling the delicacies her mother-in-law had prepared, she instructed him:

"Well, everything else is fine. Could you soak some black fungus and mushrooms in hot water? We’ll use shiitake mushrooms to stew the chicken for the main course, is that okay?"

"Sure. As for the staple, I’ve already prepared the steamed buns with Brother Wang, so you just need to make a few dishes. It’s best if the dishes are soft since the old chief’s teeth aren’t very good."

"Okay. Does the old chief have any other dietary restrictions?" Zhang Shan Ni saw her husband start to soak the mushrooms and black fungus, while she herself began to season the chopped chicken, waiting for him to finish so it could be mixed in.

"The old chief’s primary physician said he can’t have too much salt or spicy foods. His blood pressure is too high, and his old injuries have caused significant damage, which has weakened his body considerably."

"Mmm, hypertension... I think I’ve got it. You go and keep Mr. Liu company. I’ve got this covered here, you can go." Zhang Shan Ni saw that he had finished what she had asked him to do, so she waved him off, confident in handling the rest herself.

The elderly shouldn’t consume a lot of certain foods due to high blood pressure, and it was clear from the kitchen supplies that they were suitable for him.

According to later generations, people with high blood pressure should avoid chicken, particularly the skin. But now is not like the post-apocalypse era, where there was an overwhelming abundance of meat to the point of nausea.

It had only been seven or eight years; this chicken must have been specially requested by Mr. Liu. Otherwise, according to the calculations for a convalescent home, how could they get a whole chicken for just two people’s consumption?

Xie Jingchen touched his buzzcut hair and left the kitchen with a smile.

Without her husband’s interruption, Zhang Shan Ni was able to better prepare the food. After all, some ingredients were not meant to be taken out casually.

Seeing her husband’s respectful behavior towards Elder Liu, and affirming his respect for Elder Liu, Zhang Shan Ni also generously decided to add a few drops of First-level Spirit Core Water to their food, giving the two men an extra treat.

Since it was Spirit Core Water produced by a Level 1 Crystal Core [Water is diluted, liquid is a high concentration] and not pure Chaos Liquid [purified] extracted from a Spirit Core, the effects weren’t very noticeable.
