Chapter 55: Having a Meal Together

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Sihan stood at his original spot and watched Lu Sheng leave.

He only retracted his gaze silently after her figure disappeared from the street. Then, he called for Chu Yun and left.

When Lu Sheng returned to the village, the first thing she did was to heat up the dishes and cook a steaming pot of rice.

After she was done, she went next door to call Lu Jiang and Lu Xin. She also called the Liang family over for a meal.

At first, Aunt Yu disapproved. Mdm Chen even prepared a fire to cook. In the end, they could not win against Lu Sheng’s enthusiasm and had to come over.

They all thought Lu Sheng was just being polite when she said she brought delicious food back. When they saw the table full of delicious food, the Liang family was shocked.

“These dishes cost a lot, right?” Liang Ping asked.

As a waiter in a big restaurant previously, he could naturally tell that these dishes were only available in big restaurants.

Lu Sheng brought back roast goose, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, eggplant stew, a plate of peanuts, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, steamed garlic prawns, steamed pork, and a steamed chicken.

There were a total of nine dishes, and the entire table was filled.

Lu Sheng explained, “A friend invited me to Tian Xiang Restaurant for a meal today. They have not been touched yet, so I packed them up and offered them to all of you.”

“Tian Xiang Restaurant?!”

Liang Ping was shocked. “That’s the biggest restaurant in Huang Yang Town. It’s owned by the Chu family. I heard a plate of cabbage costs one tael.”

“One tael of silver?!”

When Aunt Yu and Mdm Chen heard this, they were shocked.

For ordinary families like them, their living expenses were at most ten taels a year. If they were more thrifty, it would be five to six taels at most.

If a dish costs one taels each, what’s the difference between eating them and swallowing gold?

Lu Sheng smiled and quickly said to everyone, “Hurry up and eat. If it turns cold, it won’t be tasty anymore.”

They were about to eat when there was a knocking sound at the door.

“You guys go ahead and eat first. I’ll get the door.”

Lu Sheng stood up to open the door.

It was Mdm Fang, who had come to return the wine jar.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Aunt Fang, you came at the right time. Come in and eat. I brought back quite a lot of dishes today.”

“It’s alright, go ahead and eat!” Mdm Fang smiled and said, “Your uncle is still waiting for me to go back and cook for him, so I’ll cut to the chase.”

They had a pair of children. Their daughter had married a long time ago and their son was doing business at his mother-in-law’s. He would only come back once in a few months.

There were only Mdm Fang and Li Zheng in the house.

“Ask Uncle to come over too.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, she pulled her in and smiled. “Aunt Yu and the rest are here too. Sit and eat with them first. I’ll get Uncle to come over.”

When the Liang family saw that it was Mdm Fang, they quickly stood up and waited for her to take her seat.

In this village, aside from the highest-ranking official, Li Zheng, the most powerful person was Li Zheng’s wife.

Initially, Mdm Fang felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was well aware of the Lu family’s condition.

She also understood that a meal would burden Lu Sheng.

However, when she saw the dishes on the table, she could not help but be shocked.

She had not even seen these dishes at the village’s best banquet before.

“So many dishes? Where were they from?” she asked Lu Sheng.

“A friend of mine gave me a treat. Go ahead and eat first. I’ll go get Uncle.”

Lu Sheng then walked out of the door.

When he heard Lu Sheng say that she was going to call over the village head, Liang Ping suggested getting some wine.

Aunt Yu and Mdm Chen did not object. Although Liang Ping usually did not drink, he would drink a glass or two during the festive season.

Mdm Fang wanted to say something, but seeing that Liang Ping had already stood up to leave, she could only give up.

When Lu Sheng brought the village head over, Liang Ping happened to come back with some wine.
