Seeing that she was satisfied with the meal, Madam Lou said softly, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Xu Jiang naturally continued, "Auntie, eat too."
Mrs. Lou paused, picked up the porridge and started eating.
Seeing this, Liu Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Jiang with a smile: "My lady, just eat. There is still half a pot in the kitchen. I guarantee you will have enough."
"Then I'll have to eat two more bowls."
As she said this, the bowl in Xu Jiang's hand was almost empty. Liu Mei hurriedly called a little girl from the corridor and asked her to go to the kitchen to bring the remaining porridge.
Xu Jiang waited for Madam Lou with the remaining porridge, and only cleaned up the last few mouthfuls when she saw that she was almost done.
After a bowl of porridge, Mrs. Lou was already about eight-tenths full. Xu Jiang knew that she had a small appetite, but she thought that porridge would not satisfy her hunger, so she fed her two pieces of cake. After she finished the cakes, she did not allow her to eat any more, fearing that she would feel nauseous due to indigestion.
Liu Mei was delighted and thought to herself: Madam Xu still has a solution.
Mrs. Lou stopped eating, and most of the remaining cakes went into Xu Jiang's stomach.
She hadn't been lying when she'd cried out for hunger. She'd rushed to the government office that morning and hadn't had much to eat. The hot afternoon in the restaurant had left her with no appetite, so she'd only had two cakes. But now, the apricot yogurt porridge had whetted her appetite, and she couldn't stop.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." Mrs. Lou was about to tell Liu Mei to make tea when Yin Yin knocked on the door holding Mei Zinian. Soon after, the little girl who brought porridge arrived.
Mrs. Lou let them into the house and personally added a bowl of porridge to Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang ate it with a beaming face.
Seeing her eating so happily, the two little girls couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Xu Jiang saw this and shared the cakes with them. The two little girls got the cakes and happily went out to enjoy them.
Xu Jiang took out two wine cups, filled them with plum wine, and toasted one to Madam Lou.
Liu Mei was about to stop her when she heard Xu Jiang say, "This is rice wine brewed with plums. It's sweet and sour, but not intoxicating. Drinking a glass will help you relax and invigorate your qi and blood circulation."
"But..." Liu Mei was hesitating to dissuade him, but Mrs. Lou had already taken the wine cup and tasted it carefully.
After drinking one cup, Mrs. Lou praised, "It tastes very good." Then she pushed the wine cup in front of Xu Jiang, indicating that she should have another cup.
Xu Jiang filled it up, and then picked up her fellow lady's cup and clinked it with hers, drinking together.
After Mrs. Lou finished drinking, she brought the wine cup over again. Seeing that she liked the taste, Xu Jiang filled it up again.
Liu Mei couldn't help but say, "After this cup, you can't drink anymore."
"Yeah." Mrs. Lou agreed, but after drinking, she handed the wine cup over again.
Xu Jiang then felt something was wrong, and then looked up at Madam Lou, only to see that her fair face was pale and her eyes were a little...dull.
sluggish?
Xu Jiang slowly stretched out her hand and waved it hesitantly in front of Madam Lou.
Mrs. Lou pulled her hand down and said slowly, "I'm not drunk."
Xu Jiang looked at Liu Mei helplessly.
Liu Mei sighed, "Madam has never been a good drinker." Then she added, "But you should be able to sleep well tonight."
Xu Jiang stared at Madam Lou for a while, then chuckled. Seeing Madam Lou looking at her, she couldn't stop laughing.
Seeing this, Liu Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud with her eyes narrowed.
Xu Jiang sighed in her heart, these mother and son are really cut from the same cloth.
