Chapter 103 Chapter 103: You’re welcome

A servant had already brought tea bowls and filled them all with a bowl. After drinking a bowl of cool sweet tea, they all let out sighs of comfort, especially Lei Yan and Zhao Pei who had never drank this kind of herbal tea.

"It tastes so good, let's have another bowl!" Lei Yan raised his head to take one bowl, then lowered his head to take another bowl. He couldn't even drink three big bowls.

The young prince Zhao Pei took a small sip first, and then couldn't help but drink it all in one gulp. Lei Yan was absolutely right, this herbal tea was really delicious.

Not long after, the steward Zhang Tang brought them another change of clothes, saying that Lin Shuran was worried that they would catch cold while playing in the water, and would come up and change into dry and comfortable clothes when they stopped playing in the river.

"It's so delicate. I'll go for a run later and these clothes will be dried in the sun. I don't need to change them!" Lei Yan has a bold temperament. Although he comes from a high family, he has always been informal and not afraid of hardship.

"Aunt Xu is so kind to you!" the young prince Zhao Pei said with some envy from the side.

Of course, his parents were also very kind to him, but they were too strict with him, unlike Lin Shuran's treatment of Xu Mingchen and others, which was lenient and strict, and gave them the freedom and love they deserved.

Xu Mingchen and the others just looked at each other and smiled. They knew Lin Shuran's kindness to them better than others, so they cherished everything they had now.

At the same time, Lin Shuran was also thinking about making something delicious for the children at noon. The weather is hot now, so it would be good to make some cold noodles.

Sister-in-law Hui, the cook at the farm, was a master at making noodles, so Lin Shuran asked her to make more noodles. She and Chunxi also helped, and she was mainly responsible for the seasoning and side dishes of the cold noodles.

Lin Shuran was really afraid that he would cry in the next second, so she quickly walked to him and comforted him: "Okay, I will cook grilled fish for you today and let you eat as much as you can, okay?"

Faced with so many "dissatisfied" looks directed at her, Lin Shuran opened her mouth slightly and smiled awkwardly, and immediately explained to them that she went to the kitchen of the house some time ago and found that there was still a small one left.

She had some fish, so she used it to make grilled fish. It happened that Xu Minghao went to the kitchen to find her, and the grilled fish was given to him.

"That's right, Mrs. Xu, please call me Brother Yan from now on, and I will call you aunt. You are welcome to all of us from now on!" Lei Yan said with a smile that didn't show off.

Soon, the children who had been playing wildly for most of the day came back, and Lin Shuran asked someone to set up a long table in the yard. Everyone sat down on both sides, and the table was filled with freshly made cold noodles.

Although Lin Shuran's actual age is not much older than him, her seniority is there, and he calls her "aunt" very smoothly.

"Mom, can we have grilled fish for dinner?" As soon as the lunch bowl was put down, Xu Minghao, the seventh child, started ordering the evening meal, "I see there are fish in the river, and the grilled fish you cooked for me last time was so delicious.

, I didn’t eat enough!”

"Is this appropriate?" Faced with two very enthusiastic and approachable young people, Lin Shuran also had a lot of smiles on his face. If Xu Mingchen and the others could interact with people with personalities like Lei Yan and Zhao Pei in the future, it would look very good.

"Eat, eat, I would very much like you to be friends with my Brother Chen and Brother Ye!" Lin Shuran replied with a smile, then pointed to the cold noodles on the table and explained, "This cold noodles with red fish

The bowls are filled with spicy flavor, and the celadon bowls are filled with sweet sauce flavor. Some have meat in them, some have vegetables in them, you can eat whichever you like."

The little eater like the eighth eldest son Xu Mingxuan only ate one bowl, while the big eater like the second eldest son Xu Mingye and Lei Yan actually ate six large bowls of cold noodles by themselves today.

Then, Lei Yan started to feast, and everyone else also chose the cold noodles they wanted to try and ate them. After a while, the whole table could hear the sounds of these teenagers sucking the noodles and appreciating them.

It is said that a young man will live in poverty. After seeing the real appetites of Xu Mingye and Lei Yan, Lin Shuran had a deeper understanding of this saying.

"Brother Seven, when did Mom cook grilled fish for you? Why didn't I know?!" Xu Mingxuan, the eighth eldest brother, looked at Xu Minghao and then Lin Shuran with an aggrieved look on his face, "Mom, you are partial, and you love Brother Seven the most!"

The young prince Zhao Pei stood up in a hurry and replied: "Aunt Xu, you are so polite. We are the only ones disturbing you and causing you trouble. Please don't ever see me outside, and don't call me anything like "little" in the future.

Prince, just call me Brother Pei, just like you call Brother Chen and the others."

Immediately afterwards, the other children of the Xu family all turned to Lin Shuran. Only Xu Minghao snickered and covered his mouth. It turned out that Lin Shuran had only cooked grilled fish for him.

"Mom, you've already cooked grilled fish for Brother Seven, and I want to eat grilled fish too!" Xu Mingsheng, the tenth man, said with tears of grievance coming out of his big eyes.

"Aunt, you're welcome. I want to try every one of them!" When the Xu family sent New Year's gifts to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion a few years ago, Lei Yan ate a lot of good things from them. Later he heard that

Xu Mingchen said that Lin Shuran was a good cook and often cooked delicious food for them at home, such as fried chicken, snacks, cakes... There were so many tricks he knew, and he was already greedy for them.

Thinking that everyone has different tastes, she specially prepared several spicy, sweet and spicy flavors, some meat and some vegetarian, and added some wild juice from the mountains to make the cold noodles more chewy, non-sticky and refreshing.

Smooth and delicious.

"Of course it's appropriate, unless aunt doesn't want to!" Lei Yan chuckled and glanced at the rice bowl in front of him greedily, "Aunt, can I eat it?"

"Young prince, Mr. Lei, I apologize for the poor hospitality. I don't have time to prepare more ingredients for this meal. You can just eat something simple first. I will prepare a more substantial dinner." Lin Shuran said apologetically. She was worried about the young prince.

Zhao Pei and Lei Yan would dislike the simplicity of food preparation.

At this time, the ninth-old Xu Mingsong and the tenth-old Xu Mingsheng also looked at Lin Shuran with accusing faces, and said in unison: "I don't know either!"

No matter what age a child is, if they are in the same family atmosphere and other children have something that they don’t have, they will feel that they are not valued enough. Children all want to be treated specially, and they all want to be treated equally, so she does this

Parents are really embarrassed sometimes.

"Really?" Old Ten Xu Mingsheng asked with his lips curled up.

"Of course it's true!" Lin Shuran assured with a firm tone.

"It's great to eat grilled fish today!" Lei Yan, who heard the conversation between several people, immediately smiled and said, and then kept urging, "Then let's go catch fish quickly. Didn't Dazhu just say that there is a fish pond nearby?

The fish there are big and fat, come on, let’s catch them ourselves, grill them and eat them!”
