“I really like Fengjia Village and the Ruan family. They are all very kind to me.”
She told her parents about Ruan Meng taking her brother, the Feng brothers, and Miss Sun to fish for ribbonfish. The Du couple found it very interesting.
Ruan Qian made two trips to the county town. Du Xiaocan didn't ask about what happened in the village, but having been raised by Manager Du, she was not blind to what was going on.
She subtly told her parents that she felt the Ruan family was forward-thinking, capable, and responsible, and that she felt very safe around them. Suddenly, she realized that life was interesting.
Not to mention Manager Du, even Madam Du felt alarmed upon hearing the news. Although she was worried, she felt that her daughter would be more courageous and fearless in such a family.
“Little Sister said,” Du Xiaocan has already started calling Ruan Meng “Little Sister” like the villagers, “that once things are sorted out, the clinic will be officially opened. She is very supportive of the suggestions I made.”
"Some villagers have accidentally eaten poisonous sea fish, or been injured by sea snakes, poisonous fish, poisonous snakes, or poisonous insects. There are some simple and universal antidotes that I can try to make. My sister-in-law told me that she would help me check the quality."
"Father, Mother!"
Du Xiaocan's eyes shone with undisguised light. "My younger sister said that once the village's business is on track, she'll teach me how to grow herbs and make medicine. She'll also let me watch her see patients and let me choose a direction I like to specialize in..."
Manager Du and his wife were overwhelmed with emotion, their gratitude towards the Ruan family beyond words.
Ruan Meng originally asked for a favor and was willing to pay, only requiring the He family to send a message via carrier pigeon...
But she was detained.
He Cong happened to be there. He hadn't had much of an appetite lately, and Manager Yu was worried about it. When he saw Ruan Meng, it was like seeing a savior!
"Guards? Twenty men? No problem! Forget about money, we'll cover it! You want to do us a favor..."
Upon hearing Manager Yu's request, Ruan Meng was both amused and exasperated, and teased him:
"It's my fault, it's my fault! I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to cook or bring you food, right?"
The small characters on the back side are nodding frantically.
The men didn't dare to say anything, but their faces were full of anticipation.
Ruan Meng readily agreed, "Cooking? No problem! Go ask your young master what he wants to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Cong appeared at the top of the stairs, his smile bright and cheerful.
"Excuse me, miss, I'm so sorry."
Ruan Meng chuckled. "If you were any more sincere, I would have left right now."
He Cong has indeed lost his appetite lately. Perhaps it's because Ruan Meng hasn't developed any new dishes, and he's gotten a bit tired of the menu.
"Just make whatever you think is best, girl! There's nothing in particular I'd like to eat."
Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows and looked up at He Cong, "Young Master, just wait!"
He then asked Xiao Kai to deliver a message to Xinglin Hall, telling his second brother that he would stay there a little longer.
Manager Yu took the initiative to arrange for the waiter to clear out a private room, saying that once the food was ready, he would invite Manager Du's family and Ruan Yi to have a meal together before returning home.
Ruan Meng originally only planned to make three or four dishes, just in larger quantities, but now it seems that won't work.
So, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
Manager Yu followed her inside. "Miss, what do you need? I'll have my assistant go and buy it right away!"
Ruan Meng glanced at the ingredients and found that they were plentiful, the seafood was very fresh and fragrant, and there was even pomfret!
The kitchen helper asked for opinions and selected two pomfret, two mackerel, two Spanish mackerel, and a bowl of prawns. (Pomfret, image from the internet; Spanish mackerel, image from the internet) Ruan Meng was still in the corner when she found a basket of wild chestnuts and a bowl of fish. (Wild chestnuts, image from the internet; fish, image from the internet) Seeing Ruan Meng's interest, Manager Yu stepped forward and said:
"These two kinds were given to me by the vegetable vendor. The chestnuts were picked from the mountain; they're wild. As for this one next to it, I don't know what it's called; they said it can be used for fishing."
Ruan Meng nodded and asked Manager Yu to arrange for a waiter to buy three wild chickens.
Regarding the fish, she explained with a smile, "This is called a 'lazy fish,' and it's probably the laziest fish in the world. If it's convenient for you, Manager Yu, could you give me some to take back with me?"
Manager Yu raised his hand, indicating that Ruan Meng could do as she pleased.
Ruan Meng spoke up, saying that she would be willing to take everything with her.
However, Manager Yu was a little curious, "Why did you say it's the laziest fish? If it's so lazy, why did you want it? Is it because it tastes good?"
However, it's not true that the faster a fish swims, the more tender its flesh. Can such a lazy fish really taste good?
