Chapter 216 You're in for a treat
Shen Zhensheng also closed the door and went home. Xiao Baoer was about to go out, but when she heard that Shen's mother and others had arrived, she went back to the toy room to accompany her children. She was a little worried that Shen Zhensheng could not deal with a scoundrel like Sun Erying, but Shen's mother could. She could deal with a group of old women in the village alone.
"Wife, let me make you some rock sugar and snow pear soup. I saw you and the kids loved it yesterday."
Xiao Baoer also stood up from the stool and asked Shen Zhensheng to help her out. "I'll go too. Let's go to the room where the tea is made and use the coal stove to cook it. It's warm in that room too. Let's roast some durian for our son."
While the three sons continued to play in the house, the two of them went to boil some pear water, then peeled and roasted the durian they had picked in the morning.
"Wife, guess what Sun Erying and her son and daughter-in-law are doing here."
Xiao Baoer said with a smile while roasting durian, "I just heard it. If it's Aunt Song Yun or my aunt who needs medicine, we can certainly help them. But what kind of person is Sun Erying? She's a poisonous snake. We can't help such a person."
Shen Zhensheng had no intention of helping Sun Erying from the beginning. There was a village doctor available, but he didn't go find him, but came to his house to ask for medicine. Isn't it obvious that he was not prepared?
"If I gave her the medicine, no matter whether her grandson was fine or not, we would never live in peace. She would blackmail our family. Moreover, she never put her grandson's life first from the beginning. The first thing she thought of was how to get the medicine without spending money.
If we help this kind of person once, we will have endless troubles. It's not that I think too badly of people, but some people are just like this by nature, and they are not worth helping. "
Xiao Baoer particularly agrees with what Shen Zhensheng said. You may help some people with good intentions, but perhaps the people who should thank you will bite you back.
"Don't think about it. I'll make the coconut chicken soup in a while. Do you think there's anything else you want to eat?" Shen Zhensheng asked while roasting durian.
"Let me think about it. Today I want to eat purple sweet potato and rice, stir-fried garlic lettuce, stir-fried loofah with seafood mushrooms, stir-fried scallops with garlic moss, cola chicken wings, and a pot of chicken soup. That should be enough for us."
Shen Zhensheng carefully wrote down the dishes his wife wanted to eat and would prepare them later. The three children didn't want to play with toys anymore, so they ran over to join their parents in roasting durian.
"Son, Daddy is going to prepare the morning meal. Mommy wants to eat garlic lettuce, stir-fried loofah with seafood mushrooms, stir-fried scallops with garlic moss, and cola chicken wings. Besides these, what else do you want to eat?"
The three children have not had any repetitive dishes recently, and they couldn't think of what to eat. Sanbao held his father's hand, looked at him with drooling eyes and said, "Dad, let's have steamed eggs with shrimp and sweet-scented osmanthus yam paste."
Shen Zhensheng held him and let him sit on his lap. He wiped his saliva and said with a smile, "Okay, let's have steamed eggs with shrimp and sweet-scented osmanthus yam."
Dabao and Erbao didn't say what they wanted to eat, so Shen Zhensheng memorized the six dishes to be made in the morning and would prepare the ingredients later.
As soon as the durian was roasted, the family sat together around the stove and started eating. When Shen Zhensheng had almost finished eating, he said to Xiao Baoer, "Wife, the rock sugar and snow pear soup is ready. You can drink it slowly with the children. I will go prepare the ingredients and then stew the chicken soup on the stove."
"Okay, you can make more chicken soup and send some to grandpa and grandma so they can drink it to warm up. Even though uncle has money now, it's hard to buy chicken or meat. We can't go to town, and we can't go hunting in the mountains."
Shen Zhensheng nodded, "Okay, I'll stew some more and send it over when it's done. You can take your son to drink the soup while I cook."
Xiao Baoer took the children into the house to eat durian and drink some pear soup. Xiao Baoer was afraid that Sanbao would get scalded and wanted to feed him, but Dabao didn't let her.
"Mom, you eat it. Don't let your sister go hungry. I will feed your brother the roasted durian and the soup. I won't burn him," Dabao put the durian on the table, blew on it with a small spoon to cool it down, and then started feeding him.
"Mom's eldest son is so awesome, he really acts like a big brother," Xiao Baoer praised Dabao. A sensible child deserves more praise.
Shen Zhensheng took out all the ingredients from the space, and then stewed the coconut chicken soup in the kitchen. It was still a bit early to cook, so he only cut the vegetables that needed to be cut, and then went into the house to drink soup with Xiao Baoer and the children.
"Wife, look at our sons' little mouths, they are so full when eating. I was worried that they couldn't finish their meals," Shen Zhensheng smiled as he looked at his three sons who were eating hard.
"Just let them play in the yard for a while after they eat and drink. Children digest food quickly and will get hungry after running around."
When a few people were eating in the house, someone knocked on the door. Shen Zhensheng went to open the door and saw that it was Zhou Bao.
"Brother Sheng, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Zhou Bao held pork, ribs, chicken, fish, as well as biscuits and candies for the children.
"Come in quickly, why are you here at this time when it's snowing so heavily?"
Shen Zhensheng let him in, then closed the door and took him into the room where Xiao Baoer and the child were drinking soup.
"Sister-in-law, I have nothing to do in town alone. I missed my three nephews, so I came to see them. I hope I didn't disturb you," Zhou Bao said with an embarrassed smile.
"Why are you bothering me? It's snowing so heavily. Come in and warm up. Let Zhensheng get you a bowl of soup. The rock sugar and snow pear soup he made is delicious. He also made some delicious food this morning. You're in for a treat."
Xiao Baoer had a good impression of Zhou Bao. He was smart in business, but also an honest man. He was also quite considerate. Every time he visited her, he was polite and courteous in what he said and did.
Shen Zhensheng served him a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup for him to drink to warm himself up, and then continued to roast durian on the stove, wanting Zhou Bao to taste it.
"Brother Sheng, what is this? It smells quite strong," Zhou Bao felt that this thing must not taste good, the smell was so strong that it could make people faint.
"This is the fruit I managed to get through someone. Try it later to see if you like it."
After drinking the rock sugar and snow pear soup, Zhou Bao played with the three children for a while, and then the roasted durian was ready. Shen Zhensheng even gave him a spoon for him to taste.
"It's delicious. It smelled bad just now, but it tastes soft, sweet and delicious." Zhou Bao took a small bite at first to taste it, but now he started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
"Eat slowly. How can you taste the food if you eat so fast?" Shen Zhensheng scolded Zhou Bao with a smile.
"I knew there would be delicious food at Brother Sheng's house. I was idle in town with no business, so I packed up and ran over. Look, I finally got it. This thing is really delicious."
Shen Zhensheng thought to himself, of course it must be delicious, how could anyone resist the deliciousness of roasted durian.
"You are also a foodie. All you do all day is eat and drink, apart from doing business."
