The “Delicious Food Festival” in Meimei Village is about to begin.
Meimei Pig is preparing to make “Creamy Curry Chicken Legs.” The recipe has been passed down from Meimei Pig’s great-great-grandfather, and the taste is absolutely top-notch.
Meimei Sheep searched through everything at home and found only greens and carrots. Can these things make delicious dishes? What should she do? Meimei Sheep was worried.
The food festival starts tomorrow. News from the food street keeps coming: Meimei Dog’s “Jam Egg Yolk Luncheon Meat” smells mouthwatering; Meimei Rabbit’s “Bamboo Bucket Sauce Smoked Fish” is rich in flavor; and Meimei Squirrel has made the long-lost “Hand-Grasped Spicy Ribs.”
Meimei Sheep became even more anxious. She only knew how to make stir-fried greens and braised carrots. How could such ordinary dishes be presented at the food festival?
Meimei Sheep sat by the window, feeling unhappy.
“Hello, Meimei Sheep, come and taste the delicious food with us!” Her good friend Meimei Monkey called to her from below the window.
“I can’t make delicious food, so I don’t want to attend the food festival,” Meimei Sheep said sadly.
“But you can make stir-fried greens! Everyone loves your stir-fried greens!” Meimei Monkey encouraged her enthusiastically.
“Can such an ordinary dish really be entered?”
“Why not? The value of a dish isn’t in its cost. Simple dishes can also be delicious.”
“That’s right! Even people who eat meat every day will want to eat vegetables sometimes.”
Meimei Sheep went to the vegetable field and picked a basket of bright green greens. After washing them carefully, she stir-fried a plate of greens and brought it to the food street.
“It’s rare to see such fresh vegetables. I want to try a bite.”
“These greens look so green and fresh. I like them.”
These days, the villagers had tasted many greasy dishes and needed a change of flavor. A plate of green stir-fried greens became the most popular dish. Everyone ate while nodding: “So fresh and crisp, thank you, Meimei Sheep.”
Village Chief Meimei Lion said, “At this food festival, every dish has been loved by everyone. Our lives need fish and meat, but we also need vegetables.”
Meimei Sheep and the villagers clapped their hands enthusiastically. What dish will Meimei Sheep bring to next year’s food festival?
