When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 2668

Layla picked up the chopsticks and picked up a slice of her favorite lotus root.

After taking a bite, the spicy taste suddenly choked her trachea, and she couldn’t help coughing a few times.

She immediately put down her chopsticks and went to find a cup of water to drink.

“Why is it so choked? Could it be that there is too much hot pot bottom material?” Layla said to herself after drinking the water.

In fact, the taste was delicious, but it was too spicy, which exceeded the limit that Layla could accept.

The food at home has always been light. She occasionally ate some strong flavors when ordering takeout outside or having dinner with friends, but she could only eat mildly spicy food.

After drinking water for a while, she sat down in the dining chair again.

Before taking a second bite, she thought of a way.

She went to get a clean bowl, took a bowl of water, and put it on the table.

Then, after removing the vegetables from the hot pot, place them in the water to reduce the spiciness significantly.

After taking the second bite, she finally didn’t choke on the spicy food.

This time her phone rang, and it was a video call from her mother.

Layla immediately took over the video, and her mother’s face appeared on the screen.

“Baby, I saw the picture you posted. Are you eating hot pot tonight?” Avery asked.

“Yes, Mom! I’ll show you the hot pot I cooked.” Layla turned the camera to the rear and showed her mother the boiling hot pot. “I bought the hot pot base, and it tastes good!”

Layla didn’t tell Avery that the hot pot was too spicy, she was embarrassed to admit that she overturned the car the first time she cooked.

“It looks okay… The soup base is a bit red, quite spicy, right?” Avery asked while looking at the thriving soup base.

Layla sniffed, and said bravely: “It’s okay! It’s a little bit more spicy. It’s okay if I eat it with rice. Mom, have you eaten yet?”

Avery: “Just finished eating, there’s still a lot of food left! If you don’t go home for dinner, the house will feel deserted.”

When Layla heard Avery say this, her nose suddenly became a little sore.

Elliot saw that Layla seemed quite happy, so he could only follow her: “Okay, show me something when you come back.”

After finishing the video call, Layla put down her phone and continued to eat dinner.

She didn’t know why, after talking about a video call, the dishes in the pot weren’t so delicious.

She seemed to have overestimated her appetite and cooked too much.

Not only the rice was overcooked, but the vegetables were also overcooked.

After eating a bowl of rice, she began to eat vegetables exclusively.

It took a lot of effort from cleaning to cutting these dishes, and she was reluctant to throw them away.

She watched short videos on her mobile phone to relieve boredom while eating. An hour later, there was still a third of the food in the pot, and she couldn’t eat any more, so she took it out and threw it away.

It took about half an hour to wash the pots and dishes. She had to admit that in just three hours, her cooking’s freshness had decreased by more than half.

After packing up everything, she slumped on the sofa exhausted, and sent a message to Hazel to complain: [Little sister, cooking is really tiring! I made too much tonight! I didn’t finish eating and threw it away.]
