Chapter 211 - Soup

Mr. Dabney came back with a literal barrel of vegetables. "Perfect, the soup base is ready." Ariana said as she pulled out the ox tail meat. "Good, how long before we eat?" Mr. Dabney said as he looked towards his wife. "Not for another two hours." Ariana said as she looked inside the wooden barrel that Mr. Dabney had sent down near the fridge. "That long? Wouldn't that be closer towards dinner time?" Mr. Dabney complained. "Ya I know. You're lunch is in the counter over there." Ariana said as she pointed to where an empty plate sat while her other hand was busy collecting vegetables.
