I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

118 The All-Fish Banquet

Mo Ruyue was using this method to help Si Bao deepen his memory. Of course, the best way to learn was to do it personally a few times. After all, the theory still depended on the practice. Practice made perfect.

Si Bao opened his mouth without thinking. He started from frying the fish to picking the scallions and ginger to continue stewing the soup. There was not a single step that was wrong.

“Very good. If you want to drink fish soup next time, Si Bao can make it for us, right?”

Mo Ruyue said with a smile.

Nowadays, there were more and more smiles on her face. Although it might be very shallow and short, it was much better than her previous expressionless appearance.

It was also because of this that the babies were more willing to stick to her.

Following their mother now, they had good food and drinks, and also fun and good learning. Compared to the days in the past, it was really like heaven on earth.

Upon hearing her words, Si Bao nodded hard and said, “That’s right, Mother won’t have to worry about us not having soup to drink anymore!”

With the help of Si Bao, this ‘all-fish banquet’ took about an hour to be ready. Of course, when the dishes were served, the sky had already darkened.

Mo Ruyue cooked a large pot of rice. This was a habit she had developed over the years. When she drank soup, she had to eat rice. She wasn’t used to eating congee or bread and other foods.

Each baby had a bowl of milky white fish soup in front of them. The grass carp in the pot had been divided into several large pieces in advance. Drinking soup and eating meat was the right way to supplement their nutrients, so Mo Ruyue had to ensure that each of them had a bowl of delicious fish soup.

However, grass carp had a lot of thorns. In addition to the main thorn, there were countless small thorns. If they were not handled well, they could easily prick the babies’ throats.

In the end, Mo Ruyue still entered the medium and used the pressure cooker to pressure the fish bones for a while. The fish bones were stewed until they were soft. Some of the finer fish bones even melted directly into the soup and would no longer cause any harm.

Even so, she still seriously reminded the babies to be careful of the fish bones when eating the fish. She even personally helped Tang Tang and Si Bao to remove the fish bones.

She didn’t expect that her sharp eyes would be used to pick out fish bones, but she still felt a sense of accomplishment every time she picked out a fish bone.

Now that the babies were with Mo Ruyue, they had developed a lot of new habits. For example, if there was soup on the table, they must drink it to warm their stomachs first before eating.

There was only a small amount of salt and white pepper in the fish soup. Such a soup usually needed to be mixed according to the taste of each person.

There was also soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, chili noodles, salt, scallions, and coriander on the table for the babies to use.

They added the seasonings according to their own tastes. The steam rose up in spirals, mixed with an alluring fresh fragrance, making everyone involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.

“Alright, let’s start eating. Everyone, let’s eat!”

As soon as Mo Ruyue finished speaking, the babies couldn’t wait to scoop up a spoonful of soup. After blowing on it, everyone drank a mouthful of soup together.

“Wow!”

San Bao was the first one to call out exaggeratedly.

He looked at the fish soup in his bowl and then at Mo Ruyue. He couldn’t help but say, “Mother, I think this fish soup is better than the meat soup!”

“The fish soup is fresh, but the meat soup tastes different. I think they’re both delicious.”

Er Bao also followed suit and expressed his opinion.

“Tang Tang loves fish soup.”

Tang Tang’s words were much simpler. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. Although she was scalded to the point that she stuck out her tongue and fanned it with her small hands, she still couldn’t help but want to scoop it up and drink again. She proved her love for fish soup with her actions.

“If you like to drink it, I’ll make it next time. Mother has taught me, and the recipe is all in my mind!”

Si Bao puffed out his chest and said proudly.

“You’re good at cooking, but can you really make this soup? After all, you’re only cooking some home-cooked dishes now.”

Er Bao asked with some uncertainty.

“I helped mother cook all the dishes today, and I’ve memorized the process. Mother even said that she would test me when we eat.”

As Si Bao spoke, he turned to look at Mo Ruyue. “Mother, go ahead. I promise I won’t make any mistakes!”

Mo Ruyue cooperated and asked about the recipes of two dishes, including the grass fish soup.

As expected, Si Bao repeated it without any hesitation. It was obvious that he had really remembered it.

With Mo Ruyue’s affirmation, the rest of the babies were more convinced by Si Bao’s words. After all, when their mother was not at home, with Si Bao’s guidance, the other babies could also make edible dishes.

After Si Bao received the affirmation from his mother and siblings, his little face turned red from the steam of the fish soup. He was also very excited.

He swore in his heart that he would learn all of his mother’s cooking skills and make delicious food for everyone in the future, just like what his mother was making for them now.

The fish soup was not the only popular dish on the table. The six other hot and cold dishes also made the babies smile.

Comparing the two, the grilled fish he had eaten in the past was simply a waste of God’s gift. It turned out that the fish in the river could be turned into such a delicious dish. Not only did it not have the pungent smell of earth, but it was also tender and smooth like egg custard.

The door to a new world opened. Under Mo Ruyue’s guidance, the babies walked deeper and deeper into the world of foodies.

After the meal, the children “snatched” away all the work of cleaning the dishes. Mo Ruyue returned to the study room to continue “preparing” for her lessons.

She needed to make some adjustments to her original course plan. Otherwise, she would be the one embarrassing herself in class the next day.

Although Mo Ruyue’s educational level was very high, it did not mean that she was also good at being a teacher. Especially after today’s lesson, she was even more certain that she was not cut out for teaching.

But now, even if she didn’t know if she could find a good teacher, she had already found a way to teach the babies.

This was a difficult problem that gave people a headache. Before this problem was solved, Mo Ruyue still had to continue to take on the task of “teaching.”

After cleaning up the kitchen, it was almost time for the night class. The babies were all very self-aware to do their revision and exercise. No one wanted to be lazy and slack off.

They knew very well how difficult it was to have such an opportunity.

As soon as Mo Ruyue prepared for the lesson, she was immersed in it. It was not until the children’s martial arts evening class was over and they were boiling water in the courtyard to take a bath that the sound woke her up.

“Time passed so quickly?”

She was stunned for a moment, as if she had just opened the textbook. However, when she saw the dense notes that had been written, she realized that a long time had really passed.

“Mother, let’s wash first. After washing, we still need to study.”

Da Bao’s voice came from outside.

In the past, after they finished their evening classes, they would take a bath first. Mo Ruyue stayed last and would only do what she wanted to do after they fell asleep.
