Chapter 155: Stirring Up a Wild Animal’s Den
For Shen Meng, the child’s simple thoughts were unknown to her. After delivering the soy milk to Xie Jinghao, she headed straight home. As she passed the private plot, she took a detour into the space, first entering the bathroom for a good bath, then changing into light clothes, and serving herself a pot of super spicy butter hotpot base.
Authentic Sichuan flavor, delicious without being overwhelming.
Tripe, duck intestines, marinated chicken feet, beef tendon, fatty beef, fatty lamb, shrimp paste, tribute vegetables, potato slices, dried tofu, fried rice, tofu pudding, ice cream, cocktails.... Finally, she played a beautiful piece of music, saliva dripping as Shen Meng eagerly started the hotpot.
With a table fully set, she began to heartily eat. Outside, the north wind howled, the cold was intense, but inside the space, the temperature was warm, making Shen Meng thoroughly satisfied.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Meng took care of the odor on her body before exiting the space. Back in the kitchen, the tofu was almost ready.
She found a basket and assigned tasks to several children.
"I made so much tofu, usually we freeze it for ourselves to eat, the rest we’ll give away. These are all cut into pieces, give one piece each to your Fourth Aunt, Mrs. Daya, Aunt Lianhua, Aunt Xifeng, at your grandma’s, Uncle Guai’s, the village chief’s, and the Secretary’s house. Leave this larger piece for your Brother Ah Man. After you’re done delivering, hurry back home. Tonight, mom will make you something delicious."
"Alright mom, Ming Liang and I will go, you take a rest, it’s still early!"
Shen Meng: "...That’s exactly what mom was thinking."
After her meal, she felt sleepy, her eyelids heavy, the tofu was still warm, and while sending it out, you could add some soy sauce or garlic juice to eat directly. Others’ families might fare a bit better, but not Ah Man’s - they hardly received any grain at all, if she didn’t help out, who knows how they would manage this year.
