In order to entertain Zuo Yi and Bao'er, Liang Xuemei made a table full of delicious dishes.
West Lake Fish in Vinegar, Crab Soup, Longjing Shrimp, Local Steamed Chicken, Steamed Yellow Croaker, Razor Clams with Three Shreds, Fried Eel Back with Shrimps, Cold Amaranth, and Dongpo Pork filled the small table.
"Enough, enough."
Zuo Yi couldn't help but say, "Ma 'am, there are already a lot of dishes. You don't have to make any more."
These were all famous dishes in Jiangnan, and some of them were time-consuming. For example, Dongpo Pork required the best local pork, which had to be cut into pieces and stewed in a pot for two hours. Then, it had to be taken out and steamed. The heat and seasoning were very particular.
Liang Xuemei knew that Zuo Yi liked this dish very much. Obviously, she had specially prepared it for him.
She was not in good health. Even with Shang Yulin's help, it must have been very difficult to prepare this table of dishes.
"Only the last soup."
Liang Xuemei poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "You guys eat first. I'll be done soon."
Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, but her expression was one of joy.
Liang Xuemei complained to Shang Yulin, "You child, why are you sitting still? Hurry up and get food for Xiao Zuo and Bao'er!"
Just now, she thought that Shang Yulin was a hindrance in the kitchen, so she drove Shang Yulin out.
Shang Yulin stuck out her tongue and showed a rare look of shyness.
She quickly reached out with her chopsticks and put a shrimp in Bao'er's bowl, saying, "Bao'er, eat the shrimp."
"Thank you, sister."
Bao'er thanked her politely and then turned to look at Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi nodded and smiled, "Eat."
With her father's approval, the little girl clumsily picked up the shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing twice, she narrowed her eyes and said, "It's delicious!"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "This is Granny Liang's cooking skill."
He gave a thumbs up.
Bao'er agreed. "It's better than Daddy's."
Bao'er was an honest child. Although her father was the best in the world, Granny Liang was still better at cooking.
The prawns are so delicious!
Zuo Yi agreed. "Of course!"
"Alright, alright."
Shang Yulin said, "Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good when it's cold, Bo 'er."
She picked up a chicken drumstick for the Bao'er and then picked up a piece of fried eel back with her chopsticks. She tasted it with relish.
After swallowing the delicious food, Shang Yulin sighed and said, "I'm basking in your glory today. Normally, I wouldn't be able to eat so much good food!"
"You little girl."
At this time, Liang Xuemei came out with a bowl of water shield soup. Hearing her daughter's "heartless" words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You make it sound like I'm abusing you!"
Shang Yulin smiled.
Zuo Yi said, "Ma 'am, please sit down and eat. Don't be busy."
"Everyone is here."
Liang Xuemei put down the bowl of soup, took off her apron and sat down beside Shang Yulin. She said to Zuo Yi, "You eat more. I can't eat greasy food. You're responsible for finishing these dishes. Don't waste them."
As she spoke, she scooped a large piece of Dongpo meat for Zuo Yi with a spoon. "This is your favorite."
"Thank you, ma 'am."
Zuo Yi patted his chest and said, "I promise to finish them all. Not a single bit will be wasted!"
Liang Xuemei and Shang Yulin both laughed. Liang Xuemei said to the little girl, "Bao'er, you eat more too."
Bao'er's mouth was stuffed with chicken thigh meat, and she nodded.
Liang Xuemei picked up food for Zuo Yi and the Bao'er, while she only ate a small bowl of rice porridge and some wild amaranth. She didn't even touch the meat dishes.
Zuo Yi didn't stand on ceremony. Most of the dishes on the table were eaten by him.
Even so, Bao 'er's little tummy was still bulging from eating. It was really too delicious!
At this time, Zuo Yi put down his chopsticks, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of warm tea for Liang Xuemei, Shang Yulin, himself, and the Bao'er.
Zuo Yi raised his teacup and said, "Ma 'am, Ma' am, I use tea instead of wine. I wish Ma 'am good health!"
The Bao'er imitated his father and raised his cup. "I wish Ma 'am good health!"
"Thank you."
Liang Xuemei smiled and said, "I also wish you good health and good luck."
"Cheers."
Zuo Yi drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
Then, he watched as Liang Xuemei and Shang Yulin both drank the tea.
The two of them would never have thought that when Zuo Yi poured the tea, he had quietly put a drop of the Water of the Spring of Life into each of their cups.
The Water of the Spring of Life was one of the five most mysterious holy springs in the world of Sadeya. It had incredible effects. This kind of spring water could greatly strengthen one's vitality, delay aging, improve one's physique, and even increase one's lifespan.
Liang Xuemei's health was very poor. The long-term illness had caused her internal organs to fail. Usually, she relied on medicine to maintain her health. If this situation didn't improve, her lifespan wouldn't be very long.
The Water of the Spring of Life had the best effect on her. Just one drop was enough to completely restore her health!
Shang Yulin's body was very healthy. The Water of the Spring of Life had increased her vitality, and she might even break through to the Transcendent level!
A few days ago, Zuo Yi had only fed Pipi half a drop of the Water of the Spring of Life, and it immediately recovered from its dying state. Not only did it recover its vitality, but it also showed some kind of Transcendent quality.
After a person drank the Water of the Spring of Life, the effects wouldn't appear so quickly, but it would last longer.
The miraculous effects of the Water of the Spring of Life could be seen.
And this was the real gift that Zuo Yi had brought to Ma 'am today!
"Eh?"
Shang Yulin put down the empty cup, pursed her lips, and said, "I realized that my tea brewing skills are getting better and better."
This pot of tea was brewed by her. She didn't feel much after drinking two cups, but this cup was very different.
As for how different it was, she couldn't tell. She just felt very good!
Liang Xuemei smiled and said, "It's very good."
Her experience was actually more intense than Shang Yulin's. After drinking a cup of tea, her body became warm, and a warm aura quickly spread to her limbs and bones. The pain that often tormented her disappeared.
However, Liang Xuemei didn't think that it was Transcendent at all. She thought that it was just her own imagination.
Today, Zuo Yi had brought the Bao 'er to visit her, and she was really happy.
"I'll drink another cup."
The more Shang Yulin thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She picked up the teapot, poured another cup, and tasted it carefully.
She looked puzzled. "Eh, it's just so-so."
Without the Water of the Spring of Life, the taste returned to normal.
Zuo Yi smiled but didn't say anything.
Although he didn't have much Water of the Spring of Life, and it was basically impossible to replenish it with one drop, he was willing to use half a drop to treat the parrot to make the Bao 'er happy. How could he be stingy with Liang Xuemei, who treated him so well?
With this drop of Water of the Spring of Life, Liang Xuemei could live healthily to a hundred years old without any problem. Moreover, it would be difficult for her to get sick in the future. Her recovery ability was also much better than that of ordinary people.
As for the drop he gave to Shang Yulin, it was Zuo Yi doing him a favor.
He felt the heat coming from his chest.
It was the mark of faith shining silently. Drops of faith were continuously pouring into the Knight's Heart!
To do good deeds and be a good person, the source of faith in virtue often came from the ordinary.
"Little Zuo."
Liang Xuemei said, "Come here often when you have time. I'm really happy to see you and the Bao 'er!"
Her words came from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes flashed with sincerity and bright light.
Zuo Yi said, "Okay, I like the food you cook very much. I'll definitely come here often in the future."
Liang Xuemei smiled and said, "You're welcome to come here."
Her mental state was obviously much better than before, but she didn't realize it yet.
After dinner, Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin rushed to clean up the dishes, but they were both driven to the living room by Liang Xuemei.
Shang Yulin sat on the sofa and peeled an apple for the Bao 'er.
Zuo Yi went to the shelf in the corner of the living room, where Shanghe's portrait was placed.
Gazing at Shang He's image in the frame, Zuo Yi's memory of Shang He in the past surfaced in his mind.
Zuo Yi sighed in his heart.
If it wasn't for Shanghe, he wouldn't be who he was today. He would have died when he had just transmigrated to the world of Sadeya.
Shang Yulin came over and stood beside Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi said softly, "Senior, I want to visit Master in two days. Can you accompany me?"
He hadn't gone to pay respects to Shanghe since he came back.
There were some things that Shang Yulin didn't want to say, but Zuo Yi believed that he would get the truth sooner or later.
Shang Yulin nodded.
