Chapter 221: Power of the Tigress
Shen Meng put the three types of spicy strips she had made into three clay basins, and as soon as Lu Mingkai entered the door, he was bewitched by the fragrance at the entrance. Soon after, footsteps sounded again from behind.
Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingliang, and Lu Mingfang all stood salivating at the kitchen door, and even Zhenping slowly made his way over, his eyes fixed on the clay basins on the table.
"What are these, Mom?"
"These look delicious, Mom, what kind of delicacy is this? I want to try a piece."
"I want to eat it."
Before Shen Meng could answer, Lu Mingkai already stretched out his hand. Unlike his siblings who would ask first, he would act while asking. Sometimes his hand was even faster than his mouth.
"Hold on, hold on, these are spicy strips Mom made. You are too young for these, have this one instead, it’s five-spice flavored, not spicy. Try it, this one is numbing and hot, and this one is fragrant and spicy. There’s so much here, eat if you want, but after eating, let me know what needs improvement. It’s useful for Mom. Zhenping, you try some too."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the children pounced like hungry wolves, surrounding her. Zhenping was a bit better, standing behind the children without saying a word; Shen Meng had already served him a helping of each flavor.
"Mom, this is so delicious, ha, hiss, it’s just very spicy, but I want to keep eating even after trying it."
"This one isn’t that numbing, but it’s also delicious. Everything Mom makes is delicious."
