After that, Shen Yu went into the kitchen and started getting busy.
Soon, a rich aroma of vegetables and meat wafted out of their kitchen, spreading rapidly in all directions with the wind.
"Wow, whose cooking smells so good?"
"This smells so tempting! I wonder what delicious food they're making? My mouth is watering..."
Not to mention how tempted the villagers were, even the children couldn't stay in the living room because of the rich aroma of the dishes. They all ran to the kitchen doorway, peering through the door frame at Chen Yu cooking inside.
They inhaled deeply the aroma of the vegetables and meat, exclaiming in amazement, "It smells so good! It smells so good!"
"Your Majesty, when will we have something to eat?"
Shen Yu smiled and turned around, glancing at the hungry cats, and replied, "It should be ready in about half an hour."
The second child, Kang Kang, rushed inside, grabbed Chen Yu's leg, and said in a spoiled tone, "Mommy, I'm hungry, I want to eat vegetables..."
Shen Yu gently poked his little nose and replied with a smile, "Kang Kang, don't rush, the food isn't ready yet. If you're hungry, go eat some fruit first. Chen Chen, quickly take Kang Kang out and tell him not to block my cooking."
"Alright!"
Shi Zichen strode in and forcibly dragged out his second brother, who still didn't want to leave, "Come on, come on, second brother, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Kang Kang is a little foodie; whenever he hears about delicious food, he can't control his legs.
Hearing Chenchen say there was something delicious, he happily followed his older brother.
Another half hour passed.
The children finally heard Shen Yu calling them to come and serve the dishes, and they all rushed into the kitchen.
Steamed lobster with garlic and vermicelli, stir-fried king crab with ginger and scallions, boiled fish, fish head tofu soup, pan-fried salt and pepper fish chunks, stir-fried beef with cucumber, and three-cup chicken.
In addition to the roast suckling pig with crispy skin, white jade arhat, stuffed duck feet with various fillings, crab meat soup dumplings, Shawan milk tarts, barbecued pork buns, salted water dumplings, steamed siu mai, and abalone sauce chicken feet that we previously packed from Yangcheng Restaurant...
The table was piled high with food; there wasn't enough room left.
When Grandpa Shi and Liang Sanmei came over and saw what was happening, they smiled and asked Shen Yu, "Xiao Yu, what's the occasion? Why did you make so many dishes again?"
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Tomorrow is the groundbreaking ceremony for the Yangcheng factory, and I have to go to Yangcheng to attend the ceremony. I can't celebrate this happy event with you all here, so I'm bringing it up today and cooking a feast so that everyone can share in our family's joyous occasion."
Grandpa Shi and Liang Sanmei knew that Shen Yu was going to open a factory in Guangzhou. When they heard her say this, they smiled and said, "That's something to celebrate!"
Just as they were talking, Shi Sen and Su Chunhong returned.
At Shen Yu's request, the two bodyguards on duty, Ouyang Hui and Yao Jie, also sat down with them to enjoy the delicious meal.
Shen Yu took out a few more bottles of wine and poured a glass for each of the adults.
The children can drink whatever they like, such as cola, orange juice, or soda.
She keeps these drinks in her refrigerator, but she tries to control how often her children drink them.
When she's not home, she'll have her parents-in-law or bodyguards keep an eye on them to prevent them from drinking too much.
Shen Yu also used serving chopsticks to serve food to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying, "Dad, Mom, try this lobster. The lobster meat is very sweet and has a high protein content. You can eat more of it."
Nowadays, it's rare for elderly people to have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes. Her parents-in-law used to be malnourished, but it was only after she became wealthy that they started eating better, and their faces started to gain weight.
The children were also thin and small before, but after this period of nutritional supplementation, they have recovered to normal and their faces have gained some weight.
Many elderly people in later generations suffer from overnutrition, leading to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. In their old age, they dare not eat this or drink that. Even when they see delicious food in front of them, they can't eat it even if they are craving it, which is quite distressing.
Shen Yu also remembered to greet her elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as the two bodyguards, telling them to eat more and not to be shy.
They nodded happily, "We won't stand on ceremony. Look, we've been eating non-stop. These dishes are so delicious we can't stop."
Such a sumptuous meal is something you might not even get to eat at a banquet. These days, very few families would be willing to bring out lobsters and king crabs for a feast.
Despite having such a large spread of food, we managed to eat it all.
Shen Yu was amazed that everyone in this era, whether adults or children, was a big eater.
After finishing his meal, the second son, Kang Kang, looked at Shen Yu with a pained expression and said, "Mom, I'm so full, my tummy hurts a little..."
Shen Yu gently pinched his little nose. "Who told you to be so greedy? Wait, Mommy will go get you some hawthorn water. Everyone should drink some to help with digestion."
Shen Yu went into the inner room and, using the cabinet as cover, took out a bucket of hawthorn juice from the farm warehouse.
She poured a glass for everyone present.
The second son, Kang Kang, couldn't wait to take a sip, then grinned and said, "Mom, this hawthorn water is so delicious, it's sweet and sour."
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "I added a little honey, that's why it tastes so good."
Everyone said the hawthorn honey water was delicious, but they could only drink one cup before they couldn't drink any more because they were too full.
After the two bodyguards finished eating, one went off duty, leaving the other to stand guard outside.
Shi Sen and Su Chunhong sat for a while, helped Shen Yu tidy up, and washed the dishes before taking their parents-in-law and three sons back to the old house.
