Chapter 1210: I Want My Mommy

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Xi eyed the suspicious-looking bowl placed before him, his brows furrowing in mild horror. "Su Bing, is this the so-called delicacy you made from the grass we yanked up earlier today? It looks... dubious at best. Black and slimy—and you’re calling this delicious? I’m not even sure it’s edible!"

Before Su Bing could retort, Su Li jumped in with solemn, almost ceremonial formality. "Uncle Chen Yu, Auntie Sun Yi, Big Brother Chen Xi—our brother told us that in your home, we must be polite. When it comes to meals, we wait for the elders to take the first bite before we start. This is something Brother made especially for you—it’s really good! Back home, whenever our mom had time, she’d make this for us. You should all try it!"

For all his mischief, Su Li did tend to listen to Su Bing—especially when it came to rules of etiquette. And if Su Bing said they must wait for the adults to eat first, then so be it. Even if his stomach was growling like a tiger in the zoo, he wasn’t going to sneak a bite. But heavens help him if they didn’t dig in soon—he was practically drooling already.

Sun Yi looked at the three children, touched by their well-mannered restraint. She offered them a warm smile. "You’re all at home here, sweethearts. Don’t fuss about who eats first. Chen Xi, don’t be so picky. If you don’t want to eat it, fine—but don’t go criticizing something Su Bing made with so much care before you’ve even tried it. Personally, I think it looks rather refreshing. Just looking at it gives me a sense of cool relief—perfect for hot summer days."

With that, she picked up her spoon, scooped half a mouthful of the mysterious concoction, and took a bite. The moment it touched her tongue, a delicate herbal fragrance burst across her taste buds, layered with the rich, velvety creaminess of the milk. The black jelly, unassuming in appearance, was bouncy and wonderfully smooth. She swallowed and sighed, eyes lighting up. "Oh my, this is divine. Absolutely delicious."

Chen Yu, watching his wife rave, assumed she was just playing along to keep the kids happy. Still, he scooped a spoonful himself—half-distracted, expecting little. But one bite in and his eyes widened. "I’ve traveled far and wide, eaten delicacies from every corner of the country, and yet I’ve never tasted this! It’s refreshing, soothing, and utterly delightful!"

Both husband and wife dove back in with enthusiasm, spoon after spoon disappearing like magic. Meanwhile, Chen Xi looked between them, suspicious. Was this some coordinated act to please the kids? He eyed the black jelly again. Su Bing had gone to great lengths to make it... maybe he’d just give it a try, out of courtesy.

Tentatively, he took a bite.

To his surprise, the dessert was cold, herbaceous, sweet, and unlike anything he’d tasted before. Somehow, impossibly, it was good. Refreshing, even. Who knew eating grass could be... enjoyable?

The kids needed no further invitation. They began wolfing theirs down with glee. Only Su Le, the youngest, took her time, nibbling with ladylike precision. Everyone else finished their first bowls in a flash. And once they learned there was more chilling in the kitchen, they each asked for seconds—stomachs full, but spirits insatiable.

Chen Xi let out a satisfied burp. He was officially converted. Su Bing’s wild culinary experiment had somehow become a mealtime revelation.
