Chapter 313 - 303: Thorough
"I’m not lacking money, so why should I let an honest person suffer?" Lu Yun smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, but to Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan, this was as good as an acknowledgment.
"It seems their choice was very wise," Wen Shan remarked with a smile. Who says that honest people always end up losing? Good character is often more important than ability.
"Of course."
Lu Yun laughed happily, and then reminded Shitou, "When you call mom and dad, don’t forget to tell them about this. Hey, when should we eat the duck? It’s going to be so many ducks in one go, we probably shouldn’t choose a recipe that’s too complicated."
"Why not just stew them for soup? It’s both simple and nutritious," Wen Shan suggested.
"When we process the ducks, first remove the legs and make braised duck legs, so that everyone can get a leg," Shitou suggested while driving.
"Right, and put the duck blood, intestines, gizzard, liver, feet, head, and neck—all the miscellaneous pieces that don’t form a whole—into a separate braise, and share them with the families at the institute. The weather is cool enough to keep them from spoiling, and we can eat them up until New Year’s as an addition to our meals. This way we can ensure that when it’s time to serve, everyone’s bowl has a good piece of meat."
Following Shitou’s train of thought, Lu Yun added more details, obviously considering even more, "And for these salted duck eggs, after setting aside two for every person, we can divide about a dozen of them among each family. We’ll keep some for ourselves, and also send some to mom and dad and grandparents."
