Their eyes lit up immediately at the mention of meat.
When Shi Lingheng was making soup in the kitchen, he originally just wanted to enjoy some alone time with Fan Xiaofan. But who knew that these three kids would all move a stool and sit in the kitchen, drooling and being so unruly.
He held back, managing not to kick the light bulbs away.
Mr. and Mrs. Shi came to see their eldest grandson, so naturally they followed wherever Fu Weidong was. Shi Lingheng's disdain for the children's lack of ambition was seen as incredibly endearing by the two elders.
There was quite a bit of meat on the bones, and Shi Lingheng swiftly chopped it up. In later times, the meat would definitely be rinsed in water to make the soup less greasy...
But now, everyone's stomach is lacking in oil and water.
While stewing the pork bones, Shi Lingheng gathered mushrooms and winter melon, preparing them for later use...
Fu Weidong's eyes darted around. Judging from the appearance, it would probably take a long time to stew. Firstly, the smell was so appealing that he wished he could smell it more often, which was like having a dream come true. Of course, the most important thing was that he couldn't let Shi Lingheng find a chance to spend so much time with his sister...
These days, Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu come over and whisper to each other. They say that after their sister was coaxed away by her brother-in-law, it's not so easy to see her anymore.
So whenever Ling Heng started a conversation with Fan Xiaofan, Fu Weidong would immediately chime in...
For example, Shi Lingheng asked, "We'll pick some vegetables from the garden later and use the bone broth to make noodle soup; it'll be absolutely delicious..."
Before Fan Xiaofan could say anything, Fu Weidong looked up and said, "Then go pick the vegetables, we'll stay here and watch the fire... it'll be simmering for a long time..."
They seemed eager to seize any opportunity to kick Shi Lingheng out.
Shi Lingheng: "Hehe, I have other things to do here. I see you guys don't have anything to do right now, so you can do this. Or are you going to stay here and help me cook other dishes?"
Fu Weidong put his hands on his hips, pouted angrily, and wanted to say yes, but he was only about as tall as the cutting board...
Deeply affected...
Shi Lingheng, seemingly unsure of what to do, simply grabbed the three children and dragged them outside, saying, "I'm going to tell you something: you have to give something to get something. If you want to eat pork bone noodle soup, you'll have to go pick some vegetables now..."
He threw the group outside.
Fan Xiaofan touched his nose, feeling that he should do something too; it wasn't right to just eat and drink for free...
So she got up, and was about to call Fu Weidong and the others to wait for her, when Shi Lingheng grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
Fan Xiaofan said earnestly, "I'll go pick the vegetables too, I should at least do something..."
Shi Lingheng couldn't help but laugh at her appearance, and then said, "You staying here with me, not letting me be all alone, that's the biggest contribution you can make..."
Fan Xiaofan immediately broke into a big smile, then patted his chest: "Sigh, just give me something to do, otherwise I'll really be eating and drinking for free..."
Shi's father and mother followed Fu Weidong and went out to figure out what dishes to cook.
For a moment, only Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan remained in the kitchen.
Over there, the soup pot simmered slowly over a low flame, gradually filling the cramped space with the unique aroma of meat, making one unconsciously swallow their saliva. Just as Fan Xiaofan was immersed in this fragrance, Shi Lingheng suddenly spoke up: "It smells very good, doesn't it?"
