What? There's something else?
Xiao Kai tentatively asked, "Was it the girl who mentioned at noon that you wanted pork kidney noodles, pork liver noodles, and grilled skewers?"
Ruan Meng nodded, and Xiao Kai looked pleasantly surprised. He generously helped A Yuan and Liu Jiesheng make seafood porridge, while he only scooped a spoonful for himself. He wanted to save room for a late-night snack!
Ruan Meng noticed that next to A Yuan's bowl of noodles, some toppings had been picked out, such as braised meat and pig's ears... there were all kinds of toppings, but she didn't say anything.
The food delivery people returned separately.
Upon seeing someone, they intended to greet them warmly, but sensing that Sun Chengen's identity was unusual and his attitude was unfriendly, they did not approach him.
When Ruan Meng introduced the other women to Sun Chengen, Sun Chengen stood up and nodded distantly, but when he heard that Ruan Meng's second and third brothers were behind her, his attitude became a little warmer.
The second brother was naturally warm and friendly. His greetings made Sun Chengen feel respected without being offensive, which naturally made him feel a bit of goodwill towards him.
The third brother looked cold, but not rude. His aura was somewhat similar to Sun Chengen's. Sun Chengen looked at the siblings with some surprise.
Xiao Kai noticed the young master's expression and took the initiative to walk to the side to introduce the Ruan family.
As expected, surprise was evident in Sun Chengen's eyes.
Beyond the resilience of the Ruan family and the spirit of Ruan's eldest sister-in-law, it was unexpected that the former daughter of an imperial censor would be so unpretentious, capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, leading her brother and sister-in-law to prosperity, and even helping the villagers.
Ruan Meng divided the leftover seafood porridge among her second and third brothers, as well as Sister-in-law Feng and Sister-in-law Feng Er.
Ruan Meng chatted and laughed with them, asking about the progress of the construction. Upon learning that it was nearing completion, the villagers all praised the delicious braised food...
Ruan Meng glanced outside the door and asked the villagers with a smile if they knew what part of the body they were eating.
Sister-in-law Feng spoke quickly and frankly, "I did tell them! The second young master was worried that they would feel uncomfortable if they found out later, so he explained it in advance."
"If it can't be eaten, the second young master said he'll come back and prepare it again."
“But how long has it been since we villagers ate pork, apart from seafood? Let alone offal, we can’t even afford to eat pork cracklings for years.”
"Everything else was fine, but some people were a bit disgusted when they learned that there were pig intestines. But when they found out that the younger sister was cleaning them by hand, they didn't hesitate anymore."
"Everything my sister makes is delicious. Besides, you gentlemen and I have all eaten it, so why can't they eat it too?"
"Especially since the second young master said that if it's inedible, we should come back and make it again... Who could bear to do that?"
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
If it weren't for seeing his two sisters-in-law enter, Sun Chengen might have suspected that Ruan Meng and the other woman were working together to deliberately target him.
But seeing it with his own eyes made him feel uneasy.
No matter how wealthy the Sun family is, they cannot compare to the family of the Censor, one of the Three Dukes who died for justice. The daughter of the former Censor personally cleaned the pig intestines, and the young master and young lady ate them. They tasted quite good. What is he being so pretentious about?
His gaze shifted to the side, naturally noticing the stack left behind by A Yuan.
The flour on the table hadn't been put away yet. Sun Chengen gave the order:
"A-Yuan, bring it here."
Without a moment's hesitation, A Yuan took the initiative to introduce, "Young Master, it smells wonderful, there's really no bad smell at all!"
"Ah Yuan thinks that braised pig intestines, pig ears... these braised dishes are even tastier than braised pork."
Without saying a word, Sun Chengen stirred the lumpy noodles, topped them with the sauce, and ate them in large mouthfuls, leaving not even a drop of soup.
As soon as Ruan Meng stepped out the door, she saw this scene and couldn't help but smile. It wasn't so annoying after all!
