The peach trees in the yard were laden with fruit, the fruit already turning slightly red. Several fluffy little foxes were playing in the woods, picking fruit, chasing dragonflies and butterflies, weaving grasshoppers, and catching lice, having a great time.
Did they really invite her over to cook?
Xu Milu put the knife away again.
"What are you doing? We have a guest who has come from afar. Why don't you come and pay your respects? This is Madam Xu from Chang'an Shan Hai Restaurant."
Hu Silang coughed, and the group of furry balls scattered in all directions, laughing and shoving each other behind a large rock. What emerged next was a group of graceful and beautiful young women.
"Our distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Oh! It's the lady who's preparing the wedding banquet for Eleventh Sister!"
