Chapter 116: Good Knife Skills
In the end, He Qin kept the two hundred taels.
Lu Sheng gave him a bottle of medicine to clean the wounds on his face.
Her master had created this medicine on the mountain. She would apply it whenever she was injured. Although the effect was not as good as her master’s immortal technique, it was definitely not bad.
“What’s this? This jar is pretty.”
When she saw Lu Sheng move the items off the carriage, Mdm Xu immediately had her eyes on the clay jar.
When He Lai heard that, he looked over too. When he saw the clay jar on the table, his eyes lit up and he hurried over to observe it.
“What’s this?”
He Qin looked at the potatoes and the tomatoes in the basket and asked curiously.
“These are potatoes. These are tomatoes. The sauce I made with tomatoes is in this jar. There’s also crab roe sauce inside.”
“You did this?”
When Mdm Xu opened the jar filled with crab roe sauce, she could not help but drool.
“This thing looks very appetizing.”
Lu Sheng placed the twenty pounds of meat she bought aside and smiled. “If Granny wants to eat, bring two cans back to try them later.”
Mdm Xu nodded. “Then I’ll have to try it properly.”
He Qin said, “Aunt, get Uncle and the rest over. Let’s have dinner here today.”
“It’s rare for Lu Sheng to come over. We should have a meal together.”
Mdm Xu looked at He Lai and said, “Ah Lai, go back and catch two chickens. Ask your father and nephew to come over too.”
He Lai pouted and said unhappily, “You won’t call Brother to do this. You’ll only order me around.”
He was the youngest in the He family. He was six years younger than He Qin and had just turned twenty this year.
He Zhang was the eldest son in the family. He was thirty-five years old and married his wife, Mdm Yan. She died from an illness five years ago.
He had two children, a boy and a girl. The girl was the same age as Lu Sheng and had just gotten married this year. The boy was fourteen years old and was studying in a private school in the village.
Although He Lai nagged, he still went out.
Mdm Xu shook her head helplessly and said to Lu Sheng, “That’s how your uncle is. He always mumbles when tasked to do something.”
Lu Sheng smiled and did not say anything.
He Qin brought the meat into the kitchen. Lu Sheng let Lu Jiang and Lu Xin play with the two grandmas while she went to the kitchen to help.
He Qin did not know how to handle the tomatoes and potatoes, so he did not say anything when he saw her enter.
After Lu Sheng entered, she saw half a bucket of river prawns in a wooden bucket. They were still alive.
“Your Uncle Ah Lai and I went to get these this morning. If you want to eat them, I’ll cook for you later.”
Seeing her look, He Qin explained.
Lu Sheng nodded. She took out a few potatoes and tomatoes and washed them before peeling them.
Mdm Xu walked in and instructed He Qin to boil a pot of water to kill the chicken.
When she heard that they were going to kill a chicken, Lu Sheng cut half of the potatoes into slices and the other half into strips. She soaked the potato strips in water.
He Lai soon brought over his grandpa, He Hu, his cousin, He Donglai, and two chickens.
He Zhang entered the house to get a knife and a bowl. When he saw the shredded potato, he was a bit surprised.
He had previously been an apprentice in a restaurant’s kitchen and thought that his knife skills were good. He did not expect Lu Sheng’s knife skills to be better than his.
“Your knife skills are good.”
He looked at Lu Sheng and complimented her sincerely.
“Thank you, Uncle!”
Lu Sheng smiled and thanked him.
He Zhang nodded and walked out with a knife and a big bowl.
He Qin looked up from the stove and smiled. “Your eldest uncle was an apprentice in a restaurant previously. His culinary skills are good.”
“Really?”
Lu Sheng’s eyes shone and she seemed to have an idea.
