Chapter 220 New Year's Eve Dinner
… …
Lan Cang walked with Sang Luo in the backyard.
Some cold-resistant plants and flowers had been planted in the backyard as a trial, and many had sprouted from the ground. The survival rate was acceptable. Next year, it would definitely be a beautiful scene.
"When did you rebuild the City Lord's mansion? You didn't even tell me. Even the cubs kept it a secret. You must have specifically instructed them!" Sang Luo asked.
"It was about half a year ago. I wanted you to come and see it in person and give you a surprise. You'll know when you go back to your room tonight."
Lan Cang gently pinched her soft palm, feeling extremely happy, and said, "The previous City Lord's mansion was left by the previous City Lord. The planning during construction wasn't very good, and there weren't many rooms. The three children could sleep in one room when they were young, but when they grow up, they need a bigger bedroom each. The furniture inside also needs to be replaced every few years according to their growth, as well as their own study, storage room, training room, bathroom… There were quite a few places that needed to be renovated, so I simply rebuilt it."
"Wow, Cang Cang, you've thought of everything!"
"There are still several places that haven't been completed. Look, the building on the west side only had its foundation laid last month, and then a cold wave came. We'll build it after the cold wave passes."
"Aren't there too many rooms? It's a waste if we can't fill them."
"Not many. They're for your future children to live in. If you bring your children over, they won't be without a room."
"… …" Speechless, she really guessed it right.
Sang Luo raised her eyes to meet Lan Cang's teasing gaze, her face flushed with embarrassment. She lightly pinched his slender and strong arm, "I can't give birth to that many!"
Lan Cang put his arm around her, pulling her into a half-embrace, "Xiao Shitou and the others said you're celebrating the New Year? How long will you stay?"
"What? Are you very busy recently?"
"Not busy, not busy. I have time." Lan Cang added, "As long as you come, I'll be free. I hope you stay here for a few more days."
"That's more like it!"
Lan Cang looked down at her slender waist again, "You've given birth, is it that little mermaid sister Xiao An mentioned?"
"Yes, it's a very beautiful and cute female little mermaid, but she's still asleep. I didn't bring her this time. When she wakes up in the future, I'll definitely bring her over for you to see."
Lan Cang smiled, "It's good to have given birth, you can have a good rest for a while."
Sang Luo's throat tightened, her eyes darting around.
Seeing her coy appearance, Lan Cang felt a sense of foreboding, "You're not pregnant again, are you?"
The word "again" was very subtle.
It was as if every time she came to his place, she was carrying a new one in her belly.
"Don't you like Xiao An and these little cubs? The family is going to have a new cute baby again, aren't you happy? If I don't give birth to a few more, your big yard won't be full," Sang Luo used his own methods to retaliate against him.
Lan Cang was helpless, "I guess I'm happy."
"Who is the beastman husband of this child?"
Sang Luo suddenly stopped talking.
Lan Cang noticed her low mood, his mind racing, but he didn't continue to ask, only saying, "When this child is born, remember to bring it back for me to see. If you're willing, you can bring the child to live with me."
Good heavens, this little phoenix hasn't even been born yet, and there are already two people vying to be its father.
It was getting late. The cubs were tired from playing outside and came back, their stomachs rumbling with hunger.
New Year's Eve dinner definitely required a lot of food and wine.
Lan Cang rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, "I'll prepare it, you go and rest."
"This is the first New Year's Eve dinner, it has to be as lavish as possible. You can't handle it all by yourself, I'll help."
"Alright." Lan Cang tied a gray apron around himself, and then tied a smaller red apron around her, "Help me pick some vegetables."
"Okay!" Sang Luo went to the refrigerator to get the vegetables.
There were many unique ingredients in the Northern Continent, but the richness was always lacking. Before Sang Luo came, she specially purchased a lot of ingredients in the Eastern Continent and the South Sea.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the fish, growing in the soil… As long as it was edible, she bought it all and stored it in her space.
The two of them busied themselves for a long time, making a table full of feasts.
Sweet and sour fish, braised pork knuckle, double pepper beef tenderloin, braised prawns, garlic oysters, cherry meat, four joy meatballs, Kung Pao chicken, preserved egg tofu, steamed shrimp and crab… Fifty or sixty dishes, with all kinds of cuisines, so rich that it made people drool.
Sang Luo also made a pot of bobo chicken skewers, which the little cubs loved to eat.
She also cooked a large pot of sweet and delicious corn rib soup.
There was no need to call the cubs, they flew over when they smelled the aroma.
"Mother!"
"Aooo—"
They were so anxious that they even spoke their native language.
"Don't worry, dinner is about to start. Go and call the two uncles over, let's all have a reunion dinner together."
Zhui Zhui was the most anxious when he saw delicious food, and immediately ran to call people.
Lou Xian Yue and Si Ye came over one after another, extremely surprised to see such a table of sumptuous dinner.
"It smells so good." Si Ye sniffed hard, pulled out a stool and sat down, "Why didn't you call me to help?"
"With your skills, it would be good if you didn't blow up the kitchen."
"No way! You're definitely slandering me!" He served her properly in the Marquis's mansion, and her little face even gained some weight!
Sang Luo smiled, "Don't worry, it's not easy to work. There are still many places where you need to put in effort later!"
The most important thing during the New Year is dumplings.
Four people, five little cubs, there seemed to be a lot of dishes, but the appetite of the beastmen was very large, and these were definitely not enough.
Later, after eating the dishes, Sang Luo would have to prepare dumplings with them in the evening!
She added a large piece of braised ribs to the greatest contributor of the day, "Cang Cang, eat more."
Si Ye's handsome face darkened, unhappy, "Why don't you know to pick some dishes for me."
Sure enough, when there are more male beasts, her heart can't be divided!
He will definitely not follow her next time!
"You didn't contribute, you were sleeping soundly in bed when we were busy, don't think I don't know." Sang Luo lightly kicked his calf under the table, mentally criticizing him for being childish, while adding two of the most tender ribs to his rice.
Lou Xian Yue then picked a piece of tender meat for Sang Luo, "Luo Luo has also worked hard, eat more."
"Thank you, Aze~" Look at what is called pattern, what is called atmosphere, this is a good male beast who knows how to care for females.
Si Ye also quickly added half a bowl of meat to her, almost overflowing, "Eat more, it's good for the child."
"Alright, alright, enough to eat, you guys also eat quickly, don't just stare at me."
Si Ye picked a plate of meat dishes for Xiao Zhenzhen.
Xiao Zhenzhen was a pure carnivore, not even looking at vegetarian dishes and rice, gobbling up meat, finishing a braised pork knuckle bigger than her face in a few bites.
"Delicious! Uncle Lou is second in my heart from now on, I like Uncle Lan Cang the most!"
Lou Xian Yue deliberately said, "Oh, what about your daddy?"
"Ah, my daddy, my daddy barely ranks third."
"Stinky girl!" Si Ye reached out and grabbed the flesh on the back of her neck, "I picked the dishes for you, you're not allowed to eat them."
"See! Daddy is the worst! Not as considerate as the other uncles at all! Mother, you have to stand up for me!"
Sang Luo remembered that Si Ye was also a happy father, originally he was still a half-grown teenager in the clan at this age, others had to take care of him, now he had to learn to take care of his daughter… Why did she feel a little guilty?
"Cough, alright, you two, stop making trouble, eat quickly."
Each cub had a different taste. Xiao Lan An preferred to eat seafood. Lou Xian Yue took out all the crab roe and crab meat from the crab, took out a full bowl, and let him eat it with a spoon.
The three little wolf cubs were the easiest to raise, not picky eaters, eating everything.
