Tan You helped her explain, "Grandma means that I should rest more and not have to do chores like deboning chicken feet. If I want to eat them, I can just go buy some. Is that what you meant, Grandma?"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant." Wang Hunv nodded. "You get me, Tan You. To be frank, chicken feet aren't as good as chicken meat or drumsticks. Those are much better value."
Tan You just smiled and didn't argue with Wang Hunv. Some people preferred value, while others enjoyed the chewy bits like tendons and gristle. It was all a matter of personal preference, and it was best for everyone to respect each other's tastes.
Wang Hunv only ate one chicken foot, putting the remaining three in the refrigerator. Tan Deming knew his wife all too well. Seeing this, he whispered to Tan You, "Your grandma wants to save those to eat with her congee tomorrow morning."
"Sour and spicy. They'll definitely go well with the congee."
