Chapter 162: To Save a Father and Son

When the Qin Lang and Qin Ming arrived, they found that Lu Lin had not only invited them, but also the Yamen runners.

"Qin Ming, Qin Lang, you guys are here too!" Wang Da greeted.

Qin Lang nodded, "Yeah, Wang Da, how are you!"

Qin Ming also greeted the crowd with a smile.

Qin Ming saw a few round tables in the hall and there were already a selection of dishes on the tables.

Lu Lin came out and said with a smile, "Looks like everyone is here. Let's all take a seat, make yourself at home."

Qin Ming scratched his head and said, "Magistrate Lu, we won't stand on ceremony with you."

"That's what I want to see. I'm glad you've brought you son Dazhi with you, he is such a big boy now, isn't he? How time flies, I still remember when I first met you and you brother, two boys, and look at your today, you have a family!" Lu Lin stroked Qin Dazhi's hair and got a bit emotional.

Qin Dazhi, who seemed to be a shy boy, hid behind Qin Ming.

Seeing Lu Lin move away, Qin Dazhi curiously popped his head out and stared at Lu Lin. Then he craned his neck to get a better view of the guests.

Qin Ming and the other guests soon were seated, they could smell the aroma of dishes even more, he swallowed some saliva subconsciously.

Crab porridge, Dried Pot Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Fish, Spicy Fried Clams, Garlic Fried Eels, Stri-fried Seafood Noodles, Lu Lin really made a feast.

Every dish was finger licking good, the yamen runners didn't know this new magistrate well yet, so they paid great attention to their table manners at first, but as soon as they started eating, they started to throw their manners out of the window.

Qin Ming served a bowl of Crab Porridge for his son and Qin Dazhi, the boy enjoyed it so much.

Qin Lang and Qin Ming knew Lu Lin's cooking skills and were not surprised that Lu Lin could whip out such a feast. However, the yamen runners had never met a official who was willing to condescend to cook for his subordinates, they didn't expect this meticulously prepare feast.

"This is an eel, how come it's so yummy!" Sun Wu, a yamen runner thought to himself, "This new magistrate is something else!"

"This fish is actually sweet!" One of the yamen runners exclaimed, then he covered his mouth and blushed.

Qin Ming thought to himself, 'What's so special about sweet and sour fish? Magistrate Lu used to cook this for us all the time."

Then Qin Ming realized that sugar was expensive, most families only bought sugar as a treat to the kids in the family, it was very rare to use it as an ingredient.

Soon the guest made a clean sweep of everything on the table with an appreciative smack of the lips. They helped packing up ang doing the dishes before they left.

......

"It's really delicious." The yamen runners walked out of the hall together.

"Yeah! None of the ingredients seems to be too rare, but everything was just so delicious, I wish I knew one thing or two about cooking so I can ask my wife to cook the same thing for me and the kids."

"I totally agree. Although the ingredients were all very accessible, it just tastes so fine."

"Yeah, especially that ell, it tastes so tender!"

"For me, my favorite is the sweet and sour fish, it didn't even occur to me you could put sugar into cooking."
