Chapter 261: It's going to get better! (11/20 for Ripley Gamore)

The tempting aroma made Luna swallow her saliva, and as she watched the children fully immersed in the food, she also picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and took a bite.

"It's such a thick and delicious chicken soup, the chicken is tender and smooth, it's so delicious!" Luna's eyes lit up, and the delicious flavor spread in her mouth, and she could tell that it was the muscles of the flamingo chicken, but how the taste of the chicken soup had been elevated to such an extreme, and it contained an enticing umami flavor that she had never tasted before.

"What is this?" After eating a piece of chicken, Luna picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms, and the rich aroma came to her nose, not like ordinary mushrooms, this fragrance seemed to want everyone to know, and did not hide it at all.

"Maybe the secret to enhancing the umami of chicken soup is here." Luna put the shiitake mushrooms in her mouth in anticipation, and when she took a bite, the chicken broth overflowed from the very full shiitake mushrooms, although they were dry, but the taste was not stiff at all, and it was still refreshing and tender.

The rich mushroom aroma rags in the mouth, and after swallowing, there is still a lingering fragrance in the mouth, which makes people nostalgic and intoxicated.

"It's really delicious! Mr. McGonagall, you're really good at cooking! Luna couldn't help but praise that if the first time McGonagall made Yangzhou fried rice brought her a pleasant surprise, then after that, the meat buns, tofu brains, and now the yellow braised chicken rice, McGonagall has been breaking her own thinking, and every dish has brought people extraordinary enjoyment, this kind of talent can only be described as genius.

"Miss Luna is overrated." McGonagall smiled, and it was a pleasure to be complimented by a beautiful lady.

The dinner ended in the laughter of the children, every box was eaten cleanly, not even a drop of chicken soup was left, only a child of about seven years old in the corner was still half left, carefully closed the box, looked at McGonagall and asked, "Uncle, can this box lend me for a night?" My sister hasn't eaten yet, and I want to bring it home for her to try too. ”

"Of course you can, this box is disposable, you can throw it away after you use it, you don't have to return it to me." McGonagall smiled and nodded, took out one of the remaining two servings of braised chicken rice in the bag and put it in the other bag, handed it directly to the child, and said, "Also, you can take this braised chicken rice back and eat it with your sister, if you take half a portion, it will not be enough to eat." ”

"Throw it away? Uncle, can I keep it? I've never had such a good bowl? Jessica looked at the smooth, slightly soft transparent bowl in her hand and asked expectantly.

"I also want to keep it for dinner, my bowl cracked again yesterday and can no longer hold water, this bowl is really good!" Other children also responded one after another, holding the takeaway box in their hands, as if they were holding a baby.

McGonagall's heart suddenly tightened as she watched this scene, the disposable hard plastic takeaway bowls and boxes were like treasures in the eyes of these children, and poverty made them experience the hardships of life earlier, and struggled to survive in this world with their weak bodies.

"Okay, then you can keep it." McGonagall managed to squeeze a smile out of her face and nodded.

"Yay! Thank you uncle! The children immediately cheered, and the box in their hands was raised above their heads, as if they had received a great reward.

"It's getting dark, Miss Luna, uncle, goodbye Amy, I'm going home." A child held a bowl in his arms, said hello and ran away.

Other children also said goodbye one after another.

"Children, be careful on the road, take the crowded avenue." Luna hurriedly reminded as she watched the scattered children go away.

"Amy, I'm going home too, my mother is still waiting for me at home, your little dress today is so beautiful, and the ugly duckling is super cute, I hope I can play with you next time." Jessica held the lunch box in her hand with both hands, looked at Amy and said, the smile on her face was clean and cute, and she reached out and touched the ugly duckling's head, looking expectant and a little reluctant.

"Jessica, is your mother still coughing every day? Are her eyes okay? Amy also looked at Jessica with some reluctance and asked with concern.

"Well, it seems to be a bit more serious in the fall." Jessica nodded a little gloomily, but quickly regained her smile and said, "But my mother said that it will be better in the winter, and when her eyes are better, she can sew things for others again, so that I can stay at home in the winter, and the home will be warmer." ”

"Are you sick?" McGonagall looked at Jessica's dirty clothes, and the fine stitching, it turned out that her mother was good at needlework, but if she couldn't get out of bed now, I was afraid it would be difficult to survive this winter.

Looking at the clean smile on the little girl's face, McGonagall couldn't help frowning, Jessica was probably in a similar situation to Amy back then, but if her mother really didn't survive the next winter, there would be no one to take care of her anymore.

"Well, it's going to be fine." Amy stretched out her little hand and gently patted Jessica's shoulder like a little adult, touched her pocket, took it out of her pocket with her little fist and put it behind her back, looked at Jessica a little mysteriously and said, "Jessica, I'm going to give you a gift, guess what?" ”

"Pretty stones?"

"That's not right."

"Roots of the Tree of Love?"

"Not really." Amy shook her head, took out her little hand from behind her back, and there was a small yellow butterfly hairpin in her palm, and said with a smile: "It's a butterfly hairpin, your favorite yellow." ”

"Wow! It's beautiful! Jessica's eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked at the hairpin in Amy's hand happily, but after hesitating for a while, she shook her head and said, "No, this is too beautiful, I can't ask for it, it must look better with your dress." ”

"No, you have to wear it to look good, I'll put it on for you." Amy shook her head, picked up the hairpin and put it on her tiptoe to Jessica's hair, nodded happily and said, "It's really good-looking, Jessica, you're so beautiful." ”

"Really?" Jessica also had a smile on her face, trying to turn her eyes and look up.

"Well, Jessica is really beautiful." Luna said with a smile on the side, and she was also a little touched by Amy's feelings for her friend.

"Thank you, Amy." Jessica happily hugged Amy, reached out and touched the hairpin lightly, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

McGonagall looked at the analysis, the yellow butterfly hairpin was clamped on the short hair, with that clean and bright smile, it was indeed cute, hesitated for a while, felt her hand in her pocket, took out a dragon coin, and quietly put it in the middle of the box of yellow braised chicken and rice.

"It's getting dark, Jessica's children should go home first, so as not to worry your mother, you can take this yellow braised chicken rice back to your mother to eat." McGonagall tied the bag and handed it to Jessica, smiling and admonishing, "Be careful, the chicken soup will easily spill." ”

"Thank you, uncle, my mother will definitely get better soon after eating the food made by my uncle." Jessica took the bag and looked at McGonagall gratefully.

"It's not good to eat a portion of yellow braised chicken, you must let your mother go to the doctor, only when you see the disease, can you work, and you can live a warm winter at home." McGonagall shook her head and admonished earnestly.

"Okay, I'll tell her." Jessica is also a sensible child, nodded obediently, and then waved her hand, "Teacher Luna, goodbye, uncle." ”

"Goodbye, Jessica." Luna replied with a smile.

"Goodbye, Jessica." Amy also waved her hand.

"Amy, goodbye." Jessica also said to Amy, carrying the yellow stewed chicken, holding the box in one hand, and walked cautiously.

"When the children grow up, they will be able to live independently, and I believe they will be kind." Luna said with a smile as she looked at Jessica's back.

"Yes, you have planted the seed of kindness in their hearts, and it will last them a lifetime." McGonagall nodded.

"Father, will Jessica's mother be okay?" Amy asked with some concern as she looked up at McGonagall.

"Definitely." McGonagall smiled and stroked Amy's hair, completely oblivious to the system that had been in her head.
