"Settle the twenty-eight-yuan debt, or I'll throw your entire family into a cesspit to eat maggots!"
Having delivered his threat, Felix Thorne turned to Phoebe Huxley. "Make some extra dishes tonight."
He wanted to have a few drinks with his old man. Today had been truly satisfying.
Phoebe Huxley was in high spirits and agreed with a chuckle, "I'll have your dad and mom over for dinner tonight."
'I'll make some stir-fried pork liver, pickled vegetables with pork intestines, braised pork belly, dry-fried loaches, and steamed eel. Jim Thorne caught a ton of river snails the other day, and they should be done spitting out the sand. I'll steam them with ginger, chili, and garlic, then toss them with a bit of lard and sprinkle some scallions on top. They make a perfect side dish for drinks. I'll stir-fry a few vegetable dishes too; that should be enough for the whole family.'
