He Zhilan squinted her eyes slightly, opened her mouth, and took the food into her mouth to chew slowly. After swallowing, she suddenly said, "It doesn't smell as good as what you used to cook."
"The hospital advised you to eat less salt lately, so I didn't add much soy sauce because it's salty. Not tasty?" He Teng laughed, "Ada added red dates and goji berries to the pigeon soup. It's quite fragrant, just mix a bite of rice and a sip of soup. Once you're feeling better, I'll make some flavorful dishes for you."
"I can even eat spicy food like a champ now. Got trained in the village," He Zhilan nodded, without a hint of complaint. Although the food was tasteless, she still finished the whole bowl of rice and soup with a good appetite.
Outside, He Dad was discussing with He Hongmei about letting her and Liang Tao leave early. He Teng came out with an empty bowl, and the three of them paused their conversation, all looking at He Teng. He Dad asked, "How much did you eat?"
