Challenge: #38 Chores
Meng was very good at doing her chores. Her pastries were as light as air and as sweet as the chef herself. Her roast duck in honey sauce was famous around the village. Aunt Wu's home was always kept spotless and her clothing was always freshly pressed. Yes, once Meng grew into her features, it was said she'd make any man a fine wife.
The only thing that may have besmirched her record is that fact that a visiting Water Tribe girl got terribly sick after eating one of Meng's delicious meals. After dinner, the Water girl could not stop vomiting and her body smelt of rotting fish. Even after Meng stayed up all night tending her, the symptoms had not gone away. Even worse, the poor girl lost all her hair and had red pustules break out all over her face.
Of course, that could not have been Meng's fault. She was a fine housekeeper. The Water Tribe girl must have mistakenly eaten Misarach fruit and Nekama leaves on her journey. How lucky she was that Meng was so diligent about her chores and knew enough to help her as much as she could.
AN/Meng, the floozy-hunter!
