Daniel knew Florence was not being truthful and that she had slept well. Therefore, he was not too worried.
When Florence saw four dishes and a bowl of of soup on the dining table that Nancy brought out, she could not help but widen her eyes.
As Nancy lifted her hands to remove the apron, she said, "Look, Grandma! I wasn't lying when I told you that you'll be met with delicious food when you woke up. Come and try my cooking."
Florence took a seat and looked at the dishes carefully.
Nancy placed a bowl of porridge in front of Florence and prompted her, "Grandma, have a taste."
"Hmm." Florence accepted the bowl of porridge. The girl in front of her was calm and mature, making those around her feel at ease.
Following that, Florence picked up the spoon and began to eat the porridge. After tasting the porridge, she could not help but exclaim in surprise, "It's delicious! Girl, how did you make this porridge? It's so soft and tastes fresh."
Nancy who was sitting next to Florence used her chopsticks to pick some shredded chicken before putting them on a plate in front of Florence. "Try this."
Florence did not hesitate to eat what Nancy had given her. She nodded excitedly like a child as she chewed. "It's delicious! Sara, Daniel, come and try the food. They're really delicious."
Hearing these words, Nancy served the porridge to Daniel and Sara as well.
Sara was flattered by this favor.
Nancy motioned for Sara to take a seat next to Florence before she said, "Sara, help me taste the food for Grandma first. Let me know if they taste bad."
Florence urged Sara to eat. Both of them had been together for many years now. Despite their status as master and servant, they were as close as sisters.
Meanwhile, Daniel had taken a seat next to Nancy.
Nancy picked some vegetables and placed them on Daniel's bowl.
Florence could not help but grin ear to ear when she saw this. The already delicious porridge tasted even more delicious when she saw this scene.
"Grandma, you have a weak liver, which results in poor sleep. However, the main culprits are your weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, you should always eat food that nourishes the spleen and invigorates your appetite. That's the reason I added some herbs to the porridge as well. I'll make it often for you. I handmade the chicken shreds, and I only lightly drizzled soy sauce on them so they're not greasy and easy to digest. You can eat without worrying about any stomach discomfort."
Sara watched Florence eat with a worried expression. Then, she asked tentatively, "Young Lady, is what you said true? The Old Madam won't get indigestion issues if she eats these? She often vomits and suffers stomach discomfort after eating meat."
Nancy picked a vegetable ball with her chopsticks and gave it to Sara as she said, "Don't worry. I'll be here to take care of her. In the future, we must accompany Grandma for a half-an-hour walk after food. Sara, I'll leave this to you when I'm not at home during the day."
Sara nodded quickly. "No problem, no problem."
When Florence saw the vegetable balls, she asked in a pitiful tone, "Can I eat them?"
Nancy chuckled before putting a vegetable ball in front of Florence. "You can, but you can't eat more than two a day, okay?"
"Alright, alright." Florence nodded and smiled happily like a child.
Daniel was indescribably happy when he saw this. His grandmother had always had a poor appetite. He and Jason tried their best to make her eat by cooking, using expensive ingredients such as bird's nest, sea cucumber, and shark's fin. They even hired a professional chef to cook for her. However, she remained a picky eater. They had been at their wits' end trying to make her eat more. It was only natural that he was surprised when he saw his grandmother taking the initiative to ask for Nancy's vegetable balls.
If Jason were here, he would have been dumbfounded.
At this moment, Nancy filled a bowl with soup before passing it to Daniel. "Bamboo shoots are tasty and nutritious. You should buy more and keep them at home."
Daniel nodded in response.
Meanwhile, Florence continued feeling delighted as she watched the interaction between the two. "Nancy, Daniel used to hire chefs to cook for me, but the food they cook is horrendous! He's just trying to fool me and bully me because he thinks I'm old and useless!"
Upon hearing these words, Daniel choked on his soup and began to cough.
Nancy hurriedly took a piece of tissue and handed it to him. Then, she poured a glass of water and placed it next to his hand.
On the other hand, Florence and Sara exchanged a look before they burst out laughing.
Due to embarrassment and partly due to choking on the soup, Daniel's cheeks flushed red.
Florence grabbed Nancy's hand and happily proclaimed, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, you're truly a good cook. I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time. Daniel, I'm only letting you off the hook this time because of Nancy!"
Daniel was rendered speechless by his grandmother's words. Nevertheless, he was glad that his grandmother seemed to acknowledge Nancy as her granddaughter-in-law now. However, he had a feeling that he would have less and less authority in the family in the foreseeable future.
