Chapter 437 - 0437: In the End, We Must Part1_1
As a result, Lu Jiang’s influence wasn’t far-reaching enough. He managed to invite his uncles and Uncle Chen Dazhuang, but he just couldn’t get any of his aunties-in-law and his aunts to come.
"It must be because you look too fierce. We need Xibao to do this job." Feng Qingxue pushed him aside, taking Xibao along to do the inviting. But not a single person agreed, each coming up with a different excuse to reject the invite. Feng Qingxue knew that her sisters-in-law wanted to save food for their families.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, as a couple, prepared five dishes and a soup, with both meat and vegetables. The elders sat indoors enjoying their drinks, while Feng Qingxue had a meal in the kitchen with several children. She even steamed an entire pot of cured-meat rice for everyone.
The rice was topped with thick slices of cured meat. When heated, the fat from the cured meat melted and soaked into the rice, making each grain shimmer with oil.
The children enjoyed it so much that they couldn’t put down their bowls, their mouths greased with oil.
"Aunty, let’s have cured-meat rice instead of stir-fried cured meat in the future! It tastes sooooo good!" The moment the rice enters the mouth, it fills with the aroma of meat. The oily texture is unforgettable.
Feng Qingxue tapped Lu Tianzhi on the forehead, "We can only do that if we have cured meat."
