Wu Xianglan was a bit surprised when she delivered the goods. It was like plucking feathers from a stingy iron rooster. But seeing her sincerity, Shen Meng did not refuse and accepted them directly.
The night before, Shen Meng had a hot pot dinner with the kids, who were delighted and wanted to have it again tonight, each of them patting their seats at the table, their eyes shining brightly at Shen Meng.
There was no way they could have hot pot again as it was not prepared in advance. However, they still had some rice noodles that Lu Zhenping brought back from Diannan. They could each have a bowl, which was convenient, simple, and quick, saving the trouble of making something else.
She started preparing the side dishes straight after soaking the rice noodles—bean sprouts, leafy vegetables, kelp shreds, tofu skin shreds. Then, she added the big bone broth from her space, followed by a spoonful of chili oil. Sizzling—very tasty.
