Su Shen finally released his wife's hand, ready to get to work. "I'll handle the plating and finishing touches. You can go and rest for a while," he said.
Without any hesitation, Gu Zi left the kitchen duties to her husband. She went to the refrigerator and took out a chilled portion of bird's nest with milk. She then settled herself in the dining room to enjoy her meal. These bird's nests were prepared in advance and could be kept fresh in the refrigerator for up to seven days. It was convenient as she could prepare a batch and consume it over several days.
Their three children, having a rough idea of the time, knew to head to the dining room. Seeing their father serving the dishes, the two brothers also pitched in to help. The three men quickly had all the dishes served. Su Shen, upon sitting down, immediately served Gu Zi a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
Gu Zi looked at Su Shen with sparkling eyes and took a bite.
