Chapter 1012 A Small Gathering of Friends

The photographer was great, and the three girls were beautiful, so taking photos was effortless.

The photos were taken in just one morning.

To thank the photographer, the young lady specifically asked Shen Lu to go to the front yard and tell them to reserve a table for them at noon, as she would treat everyone to lunch.

It also included Shen Xuejiao, the matchmaker.

"By the way, don't you have two friends who also studied in the capital? Have they come back?"

"If they come back, call them all over."

Shen Lu knew that Zhang Zimo was referring to Feng Tian and Wei Mingming.

Both of them live in Beijing and occasionally visit Shen Lu at Beijing University.

They would also send over any good food they had. Zhang Zimo had seen them a few times and had even eaten and drunk their food, so she remembered them.

Shen Lu didn't expect that she would invite those two people again.

"I'll make a call and see if they're available."

Upon hearing that they were going to Youranju for dinner, Feng Tian immediately agreed.

"I was originally going to visit friends with my grandfather, but my friends are more important than my grandfather's friends."

"Hehe, I'm coming right away."

Shen Lu was speechless.

The key point is that Wei Mingming was going back to her hometown with her parents, but she dragged her back.

Feng Tianmei said, "If there's something delicious, how could I not call him?"

Fine!

Shen Lu didn't care; after all, it was Wei Mingming who was being greeted, not her.

She went to find Pang Lüzhi, and Pang Lüzhi agreed as soon as she heard the offer.

“Your friend gave me something yesterday, and that gift box didn’t look cheap.”

"How about Aunt Green treats us to dinner today?"

For Pang Lüzhi, cooking a meal is just a piece of cake.

“A friend recently sent me a box of Marco potatoes. This variety has a more mealy texture than regular potatoes, like candied taro, with a sandy feel.”

"I'll make you some potato and pork rib stew later. I guarantee it'll be so delicious you'll finish the soup!"

Shen Lu asked curiously, "Is it really that delicious?"

She had never heard of this Marco potato.

"It has to taste good." Pang Luzhi's cooking skills are not only important, but also the quality of the ingredients.

She's picky; she'll only cook dishes with good ingredients.

If you ask her to stew pork ribs with regular potatoes, she thinks it's a waste.

Regular potato and pork rib stew doesn't taste this good.

"Then we're in for a treat."

"However, please don't refuse to pay for this meal."

"MoMo is a famous young lady in the capital, and she has no shortage of money."

"It's no problem if you charge a little more," Shen Lu joked.

Pang Lüzhi pointed at her: "You."

Pang Lüzhi wasn't short of money, but since it was the young lady who was treating, not accepting money would be disrespectful to her.

Shen Xuejiao arrived at Youranju first, followed shortly by Feng Tian and Wei Mingming.

This time, the two of them even drove here.

"Wei Mingming bought a car a couple of days ago, and I also went to learn to drive. Once I pass the test, I'll also buy a car for commuting."

Feng Tian and his family are well-off, so no one would think that buying a car is a difficult thing.

Shen Lu still congratulated Wei Mingming, saying that it would be much more convenient for her to travel in the future.

Wei Mingming scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

He bought a small electric car for over 100,000 yuan.

And it was bought with my own New Year's money.

His parents said they would give him a nice car after he graduates from university.

Wei Mingming didn't actually want a fancy car; practicality was enough.

His mother said that even if he didn't have any ideas of his own, he still had to discuss them with Feng Tian.

Ms. Wei initially felt that it wasn't good for her son to start dating as soon as he entered university, as it would negatively impact his studies.

Upon hearing that it was his high school classmate, and the same little girl with impressive fighting skills, Wei's mother immediately agreed.

She felt her son was too weak, and although it was embarrassing to have a girl protect him, he felt safe.

Wei's mother couldn't wait to prepare the dowry, wedding house, and car now, so they could get married as soon as they graduated from university.

Wei Mingming didn't dare tell Feng Tian, ​​for fear of putting Feng Tian under psychological pressure.

Shen Lu saw him secretly laughing to himself, like a mouse that had stolen oil, and wondered what good thing he had encountered.

Feng Tian and Shen Xuejiao, on the other hand, kept saying that after lunch they wanted the female photographer to take their pictures.

Wei Mingming didn't want to take the photos, but Feng Tian wanted to take couple photos with him.

He wasn't interested in taking other kinds of photos, but Wei Mingming admitted that she couldn't refuse to take couple photos.

Let's have lunch first. Pang Lüzhi has prepared a big feast for them today.

Although there was only one boy eating, and the rest were young girls, they were all young and not afraid of gaining weight, so they ate quite a lot.

Even Zhang Zimo, who always talks about maintaining her figure, ate quite a lot.

During the meal, he also took photos of Cheng Ran and told him how delicious the food was.

I hope that Cheng Ran will have time next time so we can come to Yucheng for a meal together.

Cheng Ran would certainly support him.

Shen Lu ate the potato and pork rib stew the most.

Those potatoes definitely taste different from those from other places.

The spare ribs are delicious too.

Everyone praised Pang Lüzhi for making this dish well.

This is a common home-cooked dish that almost every household can make.

But no one can make it taste this good.

"These ribs are from local pigs, and you can only get them at Youranju. It's quite difficult to find them anywhere else."

"Moreover, Aunt Lv bought this pork from our Shenjia Village."

Although the people of Shenjia Village receive dividends every year, they do not forget their original aspirations and raise pigs when they have nothing else to do in the village.

My second uncle's family, for example, raised six big, fat pigs.

They said they would sell four before the new year and keep two for themselves.

One of them was mostly given to Old Mrs. Shen, and some were given away. The family probably kept only a little over one for themselves.

"Can I buy these ribs? I want to buy some for my parents to try, and also these potatoes."

Zhang Ziming has eaten all sorts of good food, and even she thinks these potatoes and ribs are fantastic.

Shen Lu said helplessly, "It's summer now, and our village won't be slaughtering pigs anymore. I guess Aunt Lü's pigs won't be sold to outsiders."

If Pang Lüzhi were willing to sell, she would have been sold out long ago; there's no way Zhang Zimo would have any.

As for the potato: "You can contact people in Enshi to see if they have this potato."

"Or, since we're going on a trip, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a detour to Enshi."

Shen Lu's suggestion was approved by everyone.

Everyone wanted this potato.

Upon hearing that Shen Lu was going on another trip, Shen Xuejiao asked, "Where are you going? Why aren't you taking us?"

Wei Mingming and Feng Tian exchanged a glance: "How about we go on a road trip together?"

Shen Lu looked at Zhang Zimo and Feng Tian.

"If you two agree, we can do it together."

Zhang Zimo and Xue Tian also got along quite well with Shen Lu's three friends.

These three people each have their own temperaments.

But overall, they are not difficult to get along with.

"Let's go, let's form a car team together."

Shen Xuejiao was the happiest. She used to hate Shen Lu the most, but after her family suffered a misfortune, she liked Shen Lu the most.

Everyone else had a problem with her because of her past arrogance and spoiled attitude.

Shen Lu, disregarding past grievances, accepted her.
