16 Chapter 16: Braised Pigâs Trotters with Soybeans 2
Translator: 549690339
âYou certainly can eat, not leaving a single one.â Alexander Summers looked at her coldly, deep in thought.
Braised pig trotters with soybeans were Suzanne Saundersâs favorite dish, and his intention was to use it to test May Francis.
But now, it was all filling Purple Summersâs stomach.
âUmâ¦â Purple sucked on her chopsticks, her bright clear eyes blinked, and she playfully said, âBrother, pigâs trotter is good for beautifying and nourishing oneâs skin, so we should leave them for women to eat.â
âWhich kind of woman do you count as?â Alexander showed disdain.
âA developing woman, of course.â With delicious food in front of her, Purpleâs mood was not affected at all, her face full of smiles.
Her squinted laughter was like the blossoming peach buds in the early spring, delicate and pure, and because of her young age, it showed a bit of cunning and playfulness, making her very likeable.
Alexander could not remember the last time his younger sister had laughed, and he always felt that her current expression seemed somewhat familiarâ¦
Under some unknown influence, Alexander blurted out, âWhy donât you eat that dish?â
Among this feast, not all dishes were Suzanneâs favorite. There was one that Suzanne never touched.
Purpleâs gaze fell upon the garlic loofah in front of her.
She did not eat loofah.
Having heard a joke about how loofah resembled green snot, she could never look at loofah the same way ever againâ¦
The fried loofah was green and oily, soft and slippery, even the texture felt⦠somewhat similar to snot.
Atra Blanc saw that purple was only looking at the dish but not eating it, and asked her, âWhy donât you like this? You should eat some fruits and vegetables occasionally. Donât be picky. Only then will your nutrition be balancedâ¦â
To be fair, Atraâs garlic loofah dish looked very appetizing.
The loofah slices were neatly arranged, with transparent vermicelli underneath, topped with red pickled radish cubes and matched with green loofah, giving it a bright, colorful appearance that made it look very delicious.
Perhaps because the loofah in front of her had not been fried until it was sticky and soft, or perhaps because she had confidence in Atraâs cooking skills, Purple actually reached out her chopsticks and picked one up!
Alexander watched her closely until she swallowed the entire loofah pieceâ¦
Purple laughed and said, âMom, every dish you make is so delicious.â
Her daughterâs sweet words made Atra Blanc extremely happy!
Meanwhile, Alexander Summersâs eyes had completely cooled down.
Purple thought Alexanderâs mood swings were like a neurotic person.
âBrother, arenât you going to eat?â Purple was stared at with cold eyes just now and inexplicably wanted to provoke him further, âDid you have a quarrel with your girlfriend, and now youâre already full with anger?â
âYou eat.â Alexander looked her up and down, âThe more you eat, the taller you can grow, short onion head.â
Purpleâs eyes narrowed slightly, âSkinny toothpick.â
Without any harmony, they started the mutual attack mode.
Alexander Summers was furious, âSay that again?!â
Purple immediately snuggled up to Atra Blanc, âMom!â
Atra Blanc had a headache and while protecting Purple, she turned to Alexander and said, âWhy are you losing your temper? Purple is just joking with you!â
Alexander was seething with anger, âShe said I am aââ
That word was simply the greatest insult to a man!
âI know, didnât she just say youâre skinny?â Innocent Atra Blanc could not hear the deeper meaning behind it and naturally said, âYou were the one who called her short first, Alexander. As a big brother, you shouldnât be talking about your sister that way.â
Purple hid behind Atra Blanc and provocatively tilted her chin at him.
Alexander was extremely angry, pointed at Purple, and said sternly, âMom! Are you just going to spoil her like this?â
Atra Blanc tried to persuade him kindly, âPurple is still youngâ¦â
With a clear conscience, Purple stood behind Atra and nibbled on her pigâs trotter, holding a bowl.
