「7:00 PM.」
An Lan's family came over for hot pot. They also brought some vegetables and beef tripe, afraid that we hadn't prepared enough for everyone to eat their fill.
Lin Feng made tricolor noodles for the babies, a recipe he created himself. The noodles were made by mixing the juices of three different fruits and vegetables into the dough. The red ones were from dragon fruit, the green from spinach, and the orange from carrots.
An Lan leaned over. "The colors are so pretty. Third Treasure, can you give your godmother a bite, please?"
Third Treasure clutched his small, tweezer-like chopsticks and, with a trembling hand, picked up a single noodle for An Lan.
An Lan tilted her head back and slurped it up. "Yummy!" she exclaimed, then praised Third Treasure for his skillful use of the chopsticks.
