Chapter 221 The Power of the Tigress
Shen Meng placed the three kinds of spicy noodles she had made in three sand basins. As soon as Lu Mingkai entered the room, he was stunned by the smell and stood still at the door. After a while, footsteps were heard behind him again.
Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingliang, and Lu Mingfang all stood at the kitchen door with their mouths drooling. Even Lu Zhenping walked over slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the sand basin on the table.
"What is this, mother?"
"It's delicious. It looks delicious at first glance. Mom, what is this delicious food? I want to try it."
"I want to eat."
Without waiting for Shen Meng to answer, Lu Mingkai had already stretched out his claws. Unlike his older brothers and sisters who would ask first, he would take action while asking, and sometimes his mouth was not even faster than his claws.
"Wait a minute, this is the spicy noodles that mom made. You are too young. Eat this. This is five-spice, not spicy. Try it. This is spicy, spicy and numbing. This is fragrant and spicy. There are so many. Eat if you want, but tell me after you finish eating what needs to be improved. Mom is helpful. Zhenping should try it too."
As soon as she finished speaking, several children surrounded her like hungry wolves. Lu Zhenping was better. He stood behind the children and without saying a word, Shen Meng had already picked up a piece of food for each flavor for him with chopsticks.
"Mom, this is delicious, siha, hiss, but it's too spicy. I want to eat more after I eat it."
"This isn't very spicy, but it's delicious. Everything my mom cooks is delicious."
"It's delicious. I'm going to bring it to Daqing and Erqing to try."
"Baby doesn't like this. Baby also wants to eat spicy good things."
Shen Meng watched the kids eating and flattering each other, and immediately blocked out their words. She wanted to hear their opinions, but the kids only flattered her and did not accept her opinions.
"Well, you have to give me a fair and just evaluation, and don't just say good things like the kids do."
Lu Zhenping raised his eyebrows. If he really told the truth, would he be scolded or beaten? Would there be more serious consequences waiting for him?
He went for a stroll in the village today and happened to meet a man being scolded. He looked very pitiful. It was obviously his wife who asked him if the clothes he was wearing looked good. To be honest, he thought he looked a little dark.
He was slapped twice in the face immediately. The "slap" sound made him, a passionate man who had been in the army for many years, feel nervous.
"I think"
"Ok?"
Lu Zhenping: “.”
Being so close suddenly makes people feel very nervous.
"It's just a little spicy, but the taste is okay. The numbing one is not very numbing, and the spiced one is a little salty."
Shen Meng frowned and looked at Lu Zhenping for a while. This guy usually eats a lot of salt, but he actually felt that the five-spice powder he made was a little salty. When she tasted it just now, she thought it was okay. Why was it salty?
"I don't believe you anymore. Mingyang Mingliang, you guys take the rest and go out and find someone to taste it. If you don't like it, don't let them eat it. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I want to give this to Daya. She also likes spicy food!"
"I'm going to give it to Daqing and Erqing to try, and give two slices of the spiced one to Yaoyao. She'll feel better. So pitiful."
Mingliang didn't say anything, but waved his chopsticks very quickly. He found a big bowl and put a few scoops of food of each flavor into the bowl. Such good things should be given to others, but he should keep some for himself. They are all made of grain, and they are all good grain!
After the children ran out with their bowls, Shen Meng gave the kitchen to Lu Zhenping.
She went back to her room to think about the recipe. While Lu Zhenping was cooking, he lowered his eyes and thought about something. Shen Meng had been working from dawn to dusk recently, so he was alone at home. He either took Mingkai to the mountains to catch birds or went to the river to catch fish. He was bored to death.
Only at this time did he realize how difficult it was for a woman to support a family, especially when her parents-in-law were unkind and he, as a man, was not considerate. It was obvious how difficult life at home was.
In the past, he felt that he was defending his country, that he was exercising every day, that his flesh and blood belonged to the army and the people, and that when he put on those high-sounding hats, he seemed to have a halo around him.
But no matter what, he owes it to his children and his wife. Aren't they great too!
"Zi~"
Lu Zhenping: “.”
Damn, I was so absorbed in thinking that the food in the pot burned dry!!!
"Lu Zhenping, what are you doing? Can you still cook this meal? I smell something wrong. Did you burn the pot dry?"
"No, no, you smelled it wrongly. Cough, cough, cough, just go about your business. It's okay."
To be honest, Lu Zhenping felt like his heart was in his throat, and he kept looking back nervously. He was never as nervous as he was now when he was on duty or on guard against the enemy. He was really afraid that Shen Meng would suddenly come over, and then he would definitely be scolded, and he might even be unable to get on the kang.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the power of the tigress that Chen Xiang talked about.
When the kitchen was almost cleaned up, Shen Meng came over with a sullen face. She looked a little unhappy, which made Lu Zhenping feel nervous.
"I always feel like someone is scolding me and my ears are burning."
Lu Zhenping: “.”
No way, it can’t be that effective!
"No, you are kind-hearted and kind-hearted. The one with no conscience would scold you. He is definitely not a human being. Wife, please take a rest. The meal will be ready soon. We can eat when Mingyang and the others come back."
"is it?"
"Yes."
Lu Zhenping was very sure. Shen Meng glanced at him and turned back to the main room. Lu Zhenping also breathed a sigh of relief. He would never criticize Shen Meng again. His wife had very good hearing and could even hear what the worms in her stomach said.
The next day.
During the lunch break, Shen Meng went to the non-staple food factory with the spicy noodles she made. This time, the security guard was unusually enthusiastic. Not only did he not ask for anything from Shen Meng, he also gave her two candies.
"Thank you, sir. I felt very friendly the moment I saw you."
"Of course not. I am the kindest person and have the best relationships with people in the food factory. We are very close friends. So, next time you come, I will prepare something delicious for you."
"Okay, thank you first. Sir, you are busy. See you later!"
"Haha, what a sensible girl."
The two of them chatted for a while and then Shen Meng went to the office to find Kong Wenhui.
Kong Wenhui was uneasy all day, fearing that Shen Meng would bring back bad news. The factory director even prepared the money and was just waiting for the food to arrive.
Mo De heard footsteps, she stood up and opened the door suddenly.
"Meng'er, I finally saw you."
