The Aroma of Meat Fills the Air

Shi Shitong, the man who knew everything. In this capital city, there was nothing he couldn't resolve. Very quickly, he sent Shen Fu an address along with a message: *Granny Sun's craftsmanship is excellent. Many retired officials in Jingcheng like to have her make their clothes. She's an old client of mine.*

Shen Fu looked at the clock. It was already past twelve. Well, he would go after lunch.

Going downstairs, Bai Miaomiao had already brought Bai Huahua inside. Shen Fu looked curiously at Taishan outside. "Why didn't that guy come in?"

He had thought Bai Miaomiao's natural affinity would have made the other party lower its guard.

Bai Miaomiao: "He said he sensed a murderous aura from you, so he didn't dare to enter."

"That's not a murderous aura," Shen Fu smiled and waved. "Little friend, come in and sit for a bit. We have delicious Golden Arowana here~"

Seeing this, Taishan immediately ran away. Uh, perhaps he still felt that a live Golden Arowana would taste fresher.

Wan Zitian patted her stomach, already hungry. "Uncle, are we eating at home or going out to eat?"

Shen Fu glanced at Bai Miaomiao, and a good idea suddenly struck him. "Let's eat at home. I'll order some food."

But Bai Miaomiao waved her hand. "I'm going upstairs to choose a room first."

As soon as she left, Shen Fu said to Wan Zitian, "Do you like her or Bai Sanshan more?"

"Ah, I haven't met Bai Sanshan yet," Wan Zitian shrugged. "But Miaomiao is indeed a bit unique. I feel she's closer to animals than to humans."

Shen Fu smiled. "Then in a bit, do as I say and see if we can make Bai Sanshan appear. Although they are twin sisters, Bai Sanshan's personality is actually quite nice."

"Ah, do sub-personalities have twin sisters too?"

"Their names are all in the A-BB pattern, so they are obviously sisters~" Shen Fu said with absolute certainty.

After waiting for over half an hour, the delivery staff from Yushanlou arrived. Two people came because one person couldn't carry it all.

"Mr. Shen, here is the lunch you ordered. A total of eight dishes and one soup, totaling 8,800 yuan," the deliveryman said with a smile. "Are you hosting guests today?"

"Yes~" Shen Fu smiled as he signed the receipt, winking at his niece.

Wan Zitian immediately went upstairs. "Miaomiao, time for lunch!"

Bai Miaomiao had chosen the room furthest from Shen Fu's bedroom, though it had easier access to the rooftop.

Bai Miaomiao opened the door. "I'm not hungry~"

"Food is the first necessity of the people; skipping a meal makes you weak!" Tiantian pulled Bai Miaomiao's hand. "Even if you eat just a little, or have some soup, it's fine. To welcome you, my uncle really splurged. He ordered a lot of dishes that you like to eat."

"Oh, he knows what I like to eat?" Bai Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you and Bai Sanshan two different people? He knows what Bai Sanshan likes to eat, and I figured your tastes would be the same."

Bai Miaomiao's movements paused. However, by this time they had reached the first floor. She glared beautifully at Shen Fu, only to see him standing before the dining table, where eight dishes and one soup were laid out, all filled with the rich aroma of meat.

"Miaomiao, sit down quickly~" Shen Fu smiled and gently pressed her down at the dining table. "Miaomiao, look how thin you are, your collarbones could raise goldfish. Come, eat more, I prepared this especially for you. Look at this dish..."

Bai Miaomiao wanted to turn her head away, but Shen Fu held her in place. "This pot is the imperial Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It's said the Empress Dowager was particularly fond of this. It contains abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and other precious ingredients. Let me scoop a bowl for you~"

Bai Miaomiao felt a bit of physiological discomfort at this moment. She slapped away Shen Fu's reaching hand. "Shen Fu, you're doing this on purpose!"

Shen Fu put on an innocent face. "Miaomiao, why do you say that about me? Do you know how much silver this dish cost me? And this one, braised deer tendon. Everyone knows venison is very nourishing, but deer tendon is even more delicious. Uh, actually, it's my first time ordering this too, since it's so expensive~"

"Deer tendon?" Bai Miaomiao immediately pictured a cruel scene of skinning and tendon-pulling. "Lulu is so cute, how could you..."

"Look at you, your mouth is watering. You wanted to say Tutu, right? We have that too!" Shen Fu pointed to a red dish. "Considering you're from Sichuan, I specially had them make spicy rabbit heads. Don't look at the ingredients as ordinary; this was personally made by the head chef of Yushanlou, completely different from what you usually eat. Which one do you want to eat first?"

Bai Miaomiao looked around. It was all meat and fish, and even the soup was old hen soup, glistening with a layer of oil.

And Bai Miaomiao's stomach also began to rumble, seemingly in urgent need of being filled. While she was hesitating, Wan Zitian was the first to lower her chopsticks, picking up a piece of imperial lion's head meatball. "Let me see how this compares to the lion's heads made by our old man~"

"Wow!" Wan Zitian's eyes practically popped out. "What kind of meat is this? The flavor is so rich and delicious, my taste buds are exploding!"

Shen Fu also picked up a piece. "Yeah, it's not inferior to our Cangzhou lion's heads. Miaomiao, give it a try~"

"Fine!" Bai Miaomiao slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Shen Fu, I know what you're trying to do. I'll fulfill your wish! Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, exorcise evil and array before me, swift as a law and decree! Open sesame! Come on out, Messenger of Light, Bai Sanshan!"

After chanting the long spell, Bai Miaomiao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her gaze was completely different.

"Sanshan?" Shen Fu looked at her.

Seeing Shen Fu, her face instantly flushed red. Because she shared memories with Bai Miaomiao, she already knew that it wasn't Shen Fu who had stripped her; it was Bai Miaomiao who did it. Not only did she strip naked in front of Shen Fu, but she had also intentionally called her out.

So this time when she came out, she first checked herself. Ah, fortunately, she was wearing clothes. But why did she still feel a chill, as if there was no smoke without fire?

"Ah!" She realized that aside from this nightgown, she was actually wearing nothing underneath!

"Uh, I..." Bai Sanshan pulled the hem of her nightgown and said shyly, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, "I'm going upstairs to get dressed~"

Because she shared memories with Bai Miaomiao, she knew this was their new home, though she wasn't very familiar with it yet.

But just as she turned around, Shen Fu immediately opened the lid of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Bai Sanshan froze.

Her body seemed to freeze. She turned around stiffly. "This is sea cucumber, abalone, fish maw, shark fin, and the aroma of shiitake mushrooms!"

Three words instantly popped into her head: "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

Shen Fu smiled. "And it's the premium version. Go change your clothes. Tiantian and I will eat first. Oh, there's only this much. Tiantian, I wonder if it's enough for the two of us~"

Wan Zitian, meeting Bai Sanshan for the second time, joined her uncle in playing along. "I'm so hungry, this probably won't even fill the gaps between my teeth."

"Is your mouth made of ivory? How big are the gaps between your teeth that you need so much!" Bai Sanshan snapped. She turned around and sat down directly, with the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall right in front of her.

What was the point of changing? As long as she had one piece of clothing to cover her modesty, it was fine. She scooped a bowl for herself. "Wow, it smells so good! You guys can watch me eat. I'll get dressed after eating~"
