DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER-34

The old madame was dazed as well. She couldn’t remember how many years it’d been since she had seen her son smile. The old female servant by her side was naturally happy for her, but the two of them were calculating enough to keep their expressions controlled.

On the other hand, Madame Kim lost her calm. She was usually an extremely steady and staid person but took great pleasure in good food. In modern terms, she was a regular foodie. After smelling that special fragrance from far away, she couldn’t even sit still as her stomach rumbled.

Taehyung understood his mother and knew from her fidgeting that she was hungry. He smiled slightly and had the servants prepare things as quickly as possible. He assumed that Madame Lisa, who was busy helping out, would receive the meat as well, but she lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, but this concubine doesn’t know how to make meat dishes.”

The servants were all astonished. She made such good vegetable dishes but didn’t know how to cook meat? Judging from her exquisite looks, she didn’t seem to be from an impoverished family. Fortunately, a couple of the servants knew how to cook, so it didn’t take a lot of time to soon prepare two meat dishes. People were naturally less particular about details outside, so a total of eight dishes and one soup were soon made and placed on the table.

There were a total of three tables. As soon as the dishes hit the surface, Madame Kim personally picked up a morsel from the flowery plate to taste. She then actually closed her eyes in bliss.

“Savory and the fragrance of flowers is delicately mixed with the vegetables, this is delicious beyond compare. Madame Jeon, you’re certainly fortunate. You should have Madame Lisa stay with me for a few days and teach the servants in the kitchen how to make vegetarian dishes.” She was serious about her proposal, though she knew that the old madame probably wouldn’t agree so easily.

These old sisters might handle things calmly and steadily, but they were very protective of their food. If one of them had something good to eat, it was rare for her to share it with the other. They were very stand-offish that way. As expected, the old madame smiled and said, “It’s but a trifling skill. How could it be shown in public? If you want to eat it, I’ll have her cook some and send it over in the future to show filial respect to her elders.”

“That’s fine as well, though it’ll inconvenience Madame Lisa,” Madame Kim was rather frank, not at all regarding herself as an outsider. Taehyyng’s lips twitched as he listened on the side. When it came to food, this mother of his was skinned

On the other side,  however, Lisa was extremely delighted. For one thing, she now had an excuse to come in contact with the supporting male. For another, someone had enjoyed her cooking. She couldn’t help but say hastily, “That’s all right. there's this concubine to make anything. If there are any vegetarian dishes Madame Kim wants to eat, just have someone tell this concubine. If I know how to make it, I’ll cook it and have it sent over.”

These words were spoken so well. The corners of Madame Kim’s lips curved up so much, they were about to poke her eyes. The old madame and Madame Kim were considered bosom friends, so how would the former not understand Madame Kim’s thoughts?

Seeing her smile like this reminded her of their youth, so she couldn’t help but pat her friend lightly. “You old thing, you’re getting less and less respectable as you age.”

“Aren’t you the same? You didn’t tell even me when you gained such a good daughter-in-law. So much for being polite,” Madame Kim didn’t bother arguing with her old sister, but turned her attention to the food, placing some of the vegetarian dishes onto her plate. As she ate, she nearly swallowed her up.
