Seeing their hungry expressions, Shen Yu picked up her chopsticks and gave Liang Sanmei and the children a piece of fragrant twice-cooked pork each.
The twice-cooked pork, pan-fried until golden brown on both sides and then stir-fried with a rich, reddish-brown sauce, is so delicious! The moment you bite into it, your mouth is filled with a savory and fragrant flavor, with a hint of spiciness in the aftertaste.
They had been drooling with desire, and in that instant, their minds and bodies were filled with immense satisfaction.
After finishing the meat in her mouth, Liang Sanmei couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Delicious! Xiaoyu, the twice-cooked pork you made is so delicious! It smells so good I almost bit my tongue, hahaha..."
Seeing the exaggerated expression on her mother-in-law's face, Shen Yu was amused and said, "If you like it, please eat more."
Material resources were scarce in those days, and most people lacked oil and fat in their diet. There weren't as many elderly people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar as in later generations, but there were quite a few malnourished elderly people.
Liang Sanmei was also rather thin, which indicated poor nutrition, and her health would not be very good when she got old.
Her previous heatstroke and illness were signs of poor health, and it was her body sending her a warning.
Thinking of this, after finishing cooking, while Liang Sanmei took the two children outside to wash their hands, Shen Yu took out a few bottles of orange juice from the farm warehouse.
She added some energy-boosting juice to the orange juice and shook it.
After shaking it well, Shen Yu took the bottles of orange juice out.
She then specifically instructed Liang Sanmei, "Mom, you, Dad, and the children should each drink a bottle of this orange juice later."
"This orange juice is specially made by me. I've added some tonics and it contains a lot of vitamins, which can replenish the body's nutrients. Drinking it will be very beneficial to your health."
"You and Dad shouldn't be reluctant to drink it, and don't always think about saving it for the children. Only when you two are in good health can we, the younger generation, feel at ease."
Hearing Shen Yu's patient persuasion, Liang Sanmei felt her filial piety towards the two elders and chuckled, "Alright, alright, we'll drink, we definitely will!"
"That's more like it!"
Shen Yu laughed and handed the orange juice to Liang Sanmei, "Mom, drink it now."
Shen Yu prepared orange juice for them, only one glass for each person, so even if they drank it before meals, it wouldn't affect their eating.
Liang Sanmei obediently drank the orange juice that Shen Yu brought her, and afterwards she felt much more energetic.
Liang Sanmei said with some surprise, "Xiaoyu, the orange juice you made is really effective! I feel much more energetic and less tired after drinking it."
Shen Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's good that it works. Drink two bottles a week, and I guarantee that your and Dad's health will improve."
With a sigh, Liang Sanmei said, "This drink is really good! Xiaoyu, is the orange juice you sell at your stall like this too?"
Shen Yu replied with a smile, "How could that be? The orange juice we sell at our stall is just regular orange juice. It contains vitamins to supplement the body's nutrition, but it doesn't contain any of the tonics I add. It certainly won't have the same effect as the one we drink at home."
Liang Sanmei laughed heartily and said, "Oh my, we've really hit the jackpot! Xiaoyu, on behalf of our whole family, thank you so much!"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Mom, we're family, you don't need to be so polite. If you and Dad are healthy, then we're all healthy!"
"Alright, alright, I won't stand on ceremony. Let's get dinner ready! Why haven't the children come back yet?"
As soon as Liang Sanmei finished speaking, the voices of Shi Zichen, Shi Zixuan, Shi Zirong and the other children came over one after another.
"Grandma, I'm back..."
Shi Zihao, a junior high school student, was too hot at noon and was in a rush, so he stayed at school for lunch instead of coming back.
After the renovation of Shen Yu's restaurant began, Grandpa Shi stopped working in the fields and instead came to the restaurant to help them out.
Shenyu would also bring his lunch with her.
Shen Yu quickly finished her lunch, then picked up the prepared lunchboxes and various iced drinks for the workers and chefs, and drove quickly towards the restaurant.
Everyone had been working all morning and was exhausted.
They stopped working at noon and are now sitting there drinking tea and resting, waiting for Shen Yu to bring them their lunchboxes.
Shen Yu always delivers meals on time, and she always arrives before 12:30.
After eating Shen Yu's cooking these past few days, the workers and chefs have been looking forward to this meal every day, hoping that Shen Yu will come over soon.
When they saw Shen Yu's car arrive, they all stood up and ran out to take their lunchboxes and drinks.
These workers and craftsmen had done work in many places, but they had never met a master as good as Chen Yu.
She not only paid them well, but also provided them with good meat and vegetables for every meal, and even gave them an iced soda, iced cola, iced orange juice, iced soy milk, or iced milk tea with each meal.
Shen Yu would bring over various drinks every day and let them choose what to drink, so they never got tired of them.
With such a good client, the workers and craftsmen all wished the project could last as long as possible.
Shen Yu went upstairs again to call Hua Guanghui and Man Jianfeng down for dinner.
Hua Guanghui and Man Jianfeng went downstairs, greeted everyone, took a new lunchbox that Shen Yu had given them, and sat down to eat with everyone.
Their names were written on the new lunchboxes.
They looked at the other people's lunchboxes, and they all had their names written on them.
Mr. Shen is really nice; he's quite particular about hygiene.
When Hua Guanghui and Man Jianfeng saw the lunchbox full of meat and vegetables, they were like hungry wolves seeing meat, and immediately began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
