After putting on the lids, Stanley Batton carefully placed the clay pots on the stove and started on the fire…
His method of making clay pot rice was different from other people.
However, his was the version Xyla Quest liked the most…
Stanley didn’t laze around while the rice was being cooked.
Instead, he cleaned some of Xyla’s favorite ingredients and made a few dishes, including braised lobsters, steamed fish, and oyster soup with tofu.
By the time he was done making these dishes, the rice was just about done.
Most of the water in the pot had nearly dried up.
Stanly slowly lifted both lids and added a sunny side-up egg into each of them, as well as some broccoli.
Finally, he drizzled some of his homemade sauce into the clay pots before putting on the lids.
The strong aroma filled the kitchen.
The finished dishes were placed on the right side of the stove. They looked and smelled appetizing.
At this moment, Stanley looked less like his usual dominant self when he was at work.
Instead, he gave off the vibe of a family man who helped around the house.
In the master bedroom, Xyla slowly opened her eyes.
Having taken a long nap, she felt much more relaxed.
Her mind had also surprisingly cleared up.
After subconsciously looking around, she found herself in her room at home.
She immediately switched on the light and glanced at her watch.
It was already eight o’clock in the evening…
Outside, it was pitch black.
The northerly winds continued to bellow.
It sounded as if it would tear the entire world apart…
The heavy snowfall also continued.
Everywhere seemed white and extremely pure…
