Chapter 441: Special Meatballs

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu sat in her seat and raised her eyebrows. She picked up a small spoon and drank the soup as she replied to Huo Xuan, “You can taste it? When I was making this small meatball just now, I had mixed a pill that I had meticulously developed into the meat stuffing. That pill contains more than twenty Chinese medicine ingredients. It can invigorate one’s spirit, nourish one’s Qi, and increase one’s blood circulation. Furthermore, it’s very beneficial to people with damaged internal energy.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he calmly drank another bowl of soup and said softly, “Xiao Zhu, I don’t have internal energy. Will there be any side effects to my body after drinking it?”

Mo Zhu was amused by the man’s words. She glanced at Huo Xuan indifferently and explained, “This is a tonic! How can a tonic have side effects? It’s fine as long as you don’t drink too much to overly nourish yourself and get heaty!”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan was relieved. Seeing that Mo Zhu could make just a simple meatball soup so delicious, he couldn’t wait to pick up his chopsticks and taste the other dishes on the table.

As he had expected, all the dishes that Mo Zhu had made that afternoon were very delicious. He did not know what special seasoning she had used, but although the taste of the raw materials was stronger, after eating every dish that Mo Zhu had cooked, other than its own deliciousness, there was also a faint strange fragrance.

It was too delicious. Huo Xuan couldn’t be bothered to spend time praising Mo Zhu’s cooking. His chopsticks moved quickly among the dishes on the table.

At this moment, the doorbell of the small mansion suddenly rang. A nanny rushed over to open the door.

When the door opened, Chen Man and Ming Mei appeared at the entrance.

She neatly found two pairs of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door and changed into them. Seeing that Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan were sitting at the dining table eating, Chen Man placed the bag she had brought with her on the sofa in the main hall. She took two steps forward and asked the two of them, “What did you order for lunch? Why does it smell so good?”

Chen Man and Ming Mei didn’t come to the small mansion specially to visit Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan today. This morning, Ming Mei had asked Chen Man to go to a nearby private hospital with her for a checkup. It was noon now and they had passed by the villa area on the way there. That was why the two of them wanted to come and take a look at the situation here.

If she hadn’t come, Chen Man would not have even thought of smelling such delicious food the moment she entered.

Upon hearing Chen Man take the initiative to speak, Mo Zhu stood up obediently from the chair. She lowered her head respectfully to Chen Man and replied, “Auntie, why are you here? Have you eaten? If you haven’t, why don’t you sit down together with us?”

Seeing how obedient and polite Mo Zhu was, Chen Man smiled happily when she thought of how this girl had just returned from Country N after winning a big prize. She grabbed the girl’s hand and said excitedly, “Xiao Zhu, I really didn’t expect you to be so successful. You actually won first place in such a big international competition!”

After pausing for a few seconds, she recalled the envious gazes her friends had when she watched the live broadcast of the competition with them. Chen Man nodded and continued, “This time, you’ve really brought glory to the Huo family. You’re much stronger than Xuan’er back then. A few days ago, when you were competing, your aunties were so envious of me!”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she held the woman’s hand and smiled obediently.

Chen Man turned her gaze to the dining table and noticed that Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan had just started eating. She pulled out the chair beside Mo Zhu and sat down openly. She looked up at Huo Xuan and said bluntly, “Xuan’er, which hotel in Beijing did you order this food from? Why does it smell so special? I’ve eaten from many of the big restaurants in Beijing, but I don’t seem to have any impression of this one.”

“Coincidentally, your Auntie Ming and I have just finished our work and haven’t had lunch yet. Seeing that you guys have ordered quite a lot of dishes, why don’t we eat here with you guys?”

After saying this, Chen Man pulled out a chair for Ming Mei and signaled the woman to sit down.
