Chapter 159: Skinny and Bony
The Lu Family Old Mansion was bustling, and Shen Meng had no idea about it. Her kitchen was so well-stocked that she couldn’t help but show off her cooking skills by simmering a pot of pork bone soup with a steamer of white buns on top, placing two logs of wood in the big stove and cooking a dish of stir-fried pork slices with dried red chilies and cabbage, and a stew of pork with radish, tofu, and glass noodles. After she finished cooking them, she glanced outside and placed a basin of sour soup braised meat in the sand basin—this was cheating because she got it from her dimensional space, but luckily she had sent everyone out while she cooked.
Finally, she stir-fried some salty mustard strips, and a sumptuous lunch was ready.
Shen Meng brought all the cooked meals to the square table in the main room, then went to the entrance of the courtyard and shouted.
"Mingyang, call your dad to come home for lunch!!!"
"Mingliang, did you hear that? Come home for lunch!"
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang were walking home with Lu Zhenping, hearing Shen Meng’s voice, the two kids darted towards home, followed by Ming Fang and Ming Kai.
"Mom, we’re back! Dad caught several big fish in the river, some black-headed ones too. Will you make us tasty fish dishes tonight?"
Lu Mingliang was quick, he had already placed his dinner order before even arriving.
Shen Meng was momentarily speechless; she had wanted to rest in the evening, but looking at her children’s hopeful eyes, she nodded.
"Alright, we still have plenty of tofu at home, tonight I’ll make you a hot pot with fish and tofu. Go home first, look at how sweaty you are, go wash your face when you get home."
