Chapter 35: Matching Brothers...Xiang Chen looked at his brother, who was dressed exactly like him.
A trend of boiling bone broth suddenly swept through the residential area.
On every coal stove in the households, pots of clear bone broth were simmering, filling the air with its savory aroma throughout the residential area.
Every family hoped for intelligent and successful children. With the emergence of little prodigy Xiang Chen, parents were now eager to provide their children with the same advantage. Even if their innate talents were not exceptional, they figured some good nourishment might make a difference. If eating well could make a child smarter, then why not give it a try?
Being workers at the machinery factory, meat might be a luxury, but big bones, an item that didn't require vouchers, were affordable. People found it troublesome and a waste of firewood before, but now, realizing its benefits, nobody cares about those inconveniences.
So, the children in the residential area were all sipping on big bone soup. Although it lacked the joy of eating fatty meat, the flavor was still quite pleasant.
Moreover, the bones contained warm marrow. Before it melted into the soup, children would fish the bones out and take a sip, letting the mouthwatering marrow flow out, rich and fragrant.
Parents, seeing their children enjoying the broth, would mention Xiang Chen, saying that it was because of this that he became so clever and excelled in his studies. Now they were making it at home, and their children better study hard, or else, no more bone soup.
Hearing this, the children, savoring the tempting bone broth, thought, what? If they don't study well, they can't have bone soup. No way! At the age where they could eat anything and everything, learning was just a piece of cake. All they needed to do was read!
Under the enticement of bone broth, the enthusiasm for studying among the children in the residential area reached unprecedented levels. The primary school's curriculum wasn't overly difficult, so as long as the children applied themselves, they could show improvement.
With these achievements, parents were overjoyed. They felt that Director Song, being a cultured person and holding a leadership position, had a real knack for educating children. From then on, their trust in him grew even stronger.
Because of this incident, Song Wenbin's prestige within the entire machinery factory saw a significant boost. After all, the residential area was filled with the relatives of the workers.
These can only be considered unexpected joys, and Song Wenbin didn't take them to heart. He was currently enjoying some cold marinated pig ears that his eldest nephew had specially made for him, sipping on a small glass of wine.
A few days ago, Song Wenbin had searched around for some braising ingredients, and with what Xu Hengzhou had pretended to buy from the supply and marketing cooperative using the items from the space, they finally had all the ingredients they needed to start making braised dishes.
The braising sauce was rich and aromatic, but with everyone around boiling bone soup, it didn't stand out much. Xu Hengzhou took this opportunity to braise some pig's feet and other ingredients he had prepared.
It had to be said that a genius, like Xu Hengzhou, could effortlessly excel at anything. Even when it came to learning culinary skills, the food he made was always delicious.
