Chapter 80 Gift Giving
When Lu Xiang brought the big bowl of braised pork intestines rice to the village chief's office, she clearly saw the village chief swallow his saliva.
The village chief also asked: "What is this for?"
Lu Xiang said, "I made some food at home. I'll bring it over for you to try!"
The village chief wanted to refuse, but when he smelled the scent right under his nose, he really couldn't say no. The fragrant smell seemed to have vitality, going straight into his nose.
A generous portion of pig intestines was placed on top of a generous bowl of rice. Lu Xiang served a generous portion, enough for two people.
The village chief said, "Okay, I won't allow that next time." He couldn't eat right away. He said to Lu Xiang, "Tomorrow, you should prepare well and go to the city together to attend the commendation meeting for outstanding individuals. If you can solve the fertilizer problem, I'll take care of the pig farming."
Lu Xiang was happy when she heard that. She could clearly tell which was more important: eating meat at one meal or eating meat at every meal.
Lu Xiang said cheerfully, "I'll definitely find a way." Lu Xiang had to deliver food to others, so she said goodbye.
After seeing her leave, the village chief could no longer hold back, so he picked up a piece of pig intestine with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was very chewy, and it was obvious that he had been eating it for a long time, and the flavor had been cooked into it. Juice came out with every bite, and he immediately followed it with a mouthful of rice.
Wow, it smells so good!
He had been eating pig intestines for so many years, but this was the first time he had tasted something like this. It was like a rice thief. The soup was delicious even with rice.
The village chief wanted to take it back and give it to his wife and children to try. But he couldn't stop eating it. After he forced himself to stop, the lunch box was already half empty. If he had let go, he could have eaten the other half.
…
Lu Xiang not only sent some food to the village chief, but also sent some braised pork intestines rice to the Lu family so they didn't have to cook it themselves in the evening.
Lu Xiang brought the lunch box and left a fragrant smell. Many elderly people around asked, "What's so delicious?"
Lu Xiang said, "I cooked the pig intestines to make them softer. Would you like to try some?" When Lin Xin came to settle the score, it was thanks to the old man in the village who called for help in time. Otherwise, Lin Xin might have suffered a loss if he had been so rude.
The aunts were so curious that they said, "Please serve less. We can just taste it."
Lu Xiang asked them to go back and get the bowls.
They all had small bowls, all very measured, except for one aunt who had a large bowl. Lu Xiang filled each of their small bowls with rice, and placed the braised pork intestines on top, adding a little sauce to make them even more delicious.
No one expected Lu Xiang to be so generous, and they all felt embarrassed: "This... is too much." Smelling the food, they thought of getting two or three pieces of pig intestines to add to the soup, but she gave them rice instead.
Only the aunt holding the big bowl had already become greedy after smelling the aroma. Lu Xiang was giving away rice and pig intestines today. She was so greedy!
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang ignored her at all.
The aunt also said: "Hey, what's going on?"
The aunties around couldn't help but say, "You're so shameless. A few days ago, you said Lu Xiang was disrespectful to her elders. Lin Xin went to her and it was like tangling. If I were you, I wouldn't even come. Why did you bring the bowl here so eagerly?"
The aunt holding the big bowl usually likes to contradict others to emphasize her presence.
After being exposed, everyone immediately looked at her with strange eyes.
The aunt was a little embarrassed and said, "I just said that casually at the time!" Everyone around her was speaking up for Lu Xiang, so she didn't dare to say anything else and left in shame.
These old people were used to being frugal, so they were reluctant to eat the pork intestines and rice. They planned to save them for the evening, and when the children came back, each of them could have a spoonful or two.
Lu Xiang gave away quite a bit of pig intestines. She gave some away, leaving a small bowl full. There were also two plates of braised pork. All perfect with rice, and there was plenty of it.
Lu Xiang was afraid that today's dishes would be too meaty, so she fried two small green vegetables.
After work, the Fu family smelled the fragrance on the way home, walked quickly, and when they opened the door to the yard, they were stunned by the aroma.
Fu Qinhui also returned home at about the same time.
Lu Xiang helped him unload the car, and they both washed their hands and went to the table together.
Gulp... Brother Fu swallowed his saliva. He couldn't speak at all, for fear of drooling.
Third Brother Fu stared at the table full of meat and said, "Mom, the sun is rising from the west, with all the meat and rice."
Lu Xiang had made many delicious dishes, all of which were tasty, but everyone was most in need of oil and water. Meat was more appealing than anything else.
Xiao Cailian knew that her third son was a bit naughty, so she said unhappily, "Your fourth brother's wife bought it with her own money."
Third Brother Fu said, "Mom, Fourth Brother's wife shouldn't be asked to pay for this!"
Xiao Cailian raised her eyebrows and said, "It would be better if you could eat meat every day. We don't have that kind of money at home. If you keep saying something useless, don't eat tonight."
Brother Fu San immediately covered his mouth as if to show off.
Lu Xiang was amused by what she saw.
Xiao Cailian glared at her son. Then she said, "Let's eat."
At the command, the meal was halfway finished. Everyone scooped the pig intestines and broth into their own bowls, not forgetting to grab a piece of braised pork. With each bite, their eyes were almost dazzled by the happiness.
It tastes so good.
Meat is their favorite, but this pig intestine is so good that it even surpasses the meat.
It’s so delicious.
Paired with rice, the soft, glutinous and sweet rice tastes like a snack even without adding anything else, and they just crave it.
Braised pork intestines with rice is simply irresistible.
Just as Lu Xiang had expected, they ate quite a bit of rice. Luckily, Lu Xiang had prepared enough. Even the sisters-in-law had two bowls each, and the Fu family's children also ate to their heart's content, their bellies plump and full.
Lu Xiang prepared a generous amount. In the end, there was not a single piece of pig intestines left, even the broth was completely gone, and the braised pork was also eaten up.
There are not many times in a lifetime when you can eat meat like this.
After enjoying such a good meal with Lu Xiang, the sisters-in-law returned the favor by washing the dishes, washing the duck necks, braising the ducks and watching over the fire. They didn't ask her to do anything and told her to go back to her room to rest.
The sisters-in-law were so happy after eating the meat that even the children were running and playing in the yard.
Fu Qinhui went back to the house first. He took out a small bottle from his pocket. Inside was white powder. This was something Lin Xin was reselling. Watches and other things were just extras. What really made him money was this aphrodisiac.
It's usually used by dishonest people to harm others. Fu Qinhui had a classmate who was a lab technician. When the police took it from him, they didn't expect it to be this kind of stuff. The classmate kept two bottles for himself, saying it was for personal use, and even joked that it wouldn't be bad for couples to use a little more to boost their mood.
When Fu Qinhui went to inquire, his classmates heard that he was newly married and gave him a bottle.
Fu Qinhui, who always kept a distance from these deviant ways, somehow accepted the bottle. He loved Lu Xiang. The two of them were so innocent, and all they needed was this to become a real couple.
But Fu Qinhui still couldn't make up his mind.
Lu Xiang came in to get the duck account book, and she was about to put in the seasoning. Fu Qinhui saw her come in, and was a little flustered, which was unusual for him, and then he put the things in his hands into his pockets.
Lu Xiang teased, "What bad things are you doing?"
"Nothing." Fu Qinhui has a very strong mental state.
Lu Xiang narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then what did you hide?" Then she wanted to go over and take a look.
Fu Qinhui showed her openly that there was no trademark on it, just a small bottle with white powder inside.
Fu Qinhui said, "Painkiller powder." Hospitals and clinics usually grind painkillers into powder. Lu Xiang asked with concern, "Where are you injured?"
"I'm not hurt, I still have something to do." Fu Qinhui said very little and walked out after he finished speaking, as if he didn't like Lu Xiang.
