Chapter 611: Small Gathering (2)

When they returned to the Lu family, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian were having lunch.

When they saw the two of them enter with a bunch of items, they looked over suspiciously.

“Why did you buy so many things? Have you eaten?”

Lu Zhou stood up and walked over. After taking the items from Lu Sheng, he asked suspiciously.

“I know!” Shangguan Dian guessed. “Is it to celebrate His Highness Yan Han’s awakening?”

“Although… but…” Chu Sihan pondered and said, “Does the Demon King think that I look like such a boring person?”

Shangguan Dian was stunned. “Isn’t that so?”

“No!” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I have a few friends who want to come over.”

“I see!”

Shangguan Dian nodded. “Do you need help?”

“Of course!” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Your culinary skills are better than mine. It’s naturally perfect for you to cook.”

“Okay, I’ll help you now.”

After taking the last bite of rice, Shangguan Dian walked into the kitchen with an empty bowl.

Bailian and Elder Sen ate slower, so the two of them were still eating slowly.

Lu Sheng glanced at the dishes on the table and raised her eyebrows. “The dishes today are quite bland.”

There were stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, and cold cucumbers. There was no meat at all.

“Isn’t it all because of your Uncle Shangguan?” Lu Zhou walked out of the kitchen and said lightly, “It was his turn to buy ingredients today, but he said that there were still ingredients in the fridge, so he made these three dishes.”

“Pretty good.” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “You have been eating so much meat. You should indeed eat something light to remove the grease.”

Elder Sen put down his empty bowl and said, “It tastes good, but not as good as meat.”

Bailian nodded. “Agreed.”

“State Minister, why would a monk like you eat meat?” Chu Sihan teased with a smile.

Bailian retorted expressionlessly, “I’m not a real monk. I have hair!”

He had hair to begin with, but for convenience’s sake, he transformed into a monk in the human world.

Lu Sheng and Lu Zhou chuckled at the same time.

“Sihan, take a seat first. I’ll go to the kitchen to help Uncle Shangguan.”

“I’ll go too.”

Chu Sihan naturally placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shangguan Dian was already sharpening the knife to process the pig trotters.

“How do you want to eat the pig trotters?” Shangguan Dian asked.

“Stew it with some red wine.”

“Okay!”

Lu Sheng smiled and took out the vegetables. Then, she picked up a basket and went to the side to choose the vegetables.

Chu Sihan stood at the side and helped.

When all the dishes were done, it was already past one in the afternoon.

At this moment, Chu Sihan happened to receive a call from Shi Yi asking where the address was.

After Chu Sihan sent them the location, he kept his phone and brought the dishes out.

The dishes had just been set when the doorbell rang.

Through the peephole, she could see the few people outside.

Lu Sheng opened the door for them and saw them enter with gifts.

Lu Sheng frowned. “It’s enough that you’re here. Why did you bring gifts?”

Zeng Zijuan pretended to joke. “If I knew your family was so rich, I wouldn’t have brought gifts.”

She was holding a bottle of country wine. Lu Sheng frowned. “Did you steal this wine?”

“Don’t worry!” Zeng Zijuan smiled and said, “My father heard that I was coming to your house as a guest, so he told me to bring a bottle for Uncle to try.”

As for the others, their gifts were not cheap either. It gave Lu Sheng a headache.

“Don’t come again next time. Those who don’t know might think that you’re trying to bribe some big shot.”

They expressed that they would definitely come empty-handed the next time.
