Chapter 795 It's over, they've been fooled

"Set up a table next to it and let your wife and your sisters-in-law eat there." Ye Yuran said with a cold face.

Zhu Wu was a little confused, but he still obeyed.

"Add a seat next to your dad, and I'll sit there."

Zhu Wu felt like he was about to shake things up.

He finished everything, and when Ye Yuran didn't see it, he jumped to Zhu San and whispered: "Third brother, mother just asked me and fourth brother to add an extra table in the main room."

"You will do whatever mother tells you to do. Why do you talk so much nonsense?"

"No, third brother, mother is going to stay for a while and let my mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law come to the table for dinner, but they will just be separated from us."

Zhu San suddenly turned around: "What did you say?!"

After the table in the room was set, Butcher Li was invited into the main room. What surprised him was that there were actually two tables in the room: one on the left and one on the right.

As he sat down in his seat, he saw the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family walking in with Ye Yuran, and started placing food one by one on the table.

Dabao, Erbao and their mother were sitting together, with two bowls in front of each of them.

Ye Yuran first stood at this table and distributed food to them, then returned to Old Zhu's table and sat with them.

Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu, and Zhu Qi looked down at their bowls, but not one of them made a sound.

Old man Zhu was stunned for a moment, but thinking of the old woman's usual temper, he was unwilling to start an argument in front of outsiders, so he opened his mouth and said nothing.

As for Butcher Li, the Zhu family himself didn’t say anything, so what could he say?

"If you were in a wealthy family, you would definitely have to put up a screen to cover it at this time. It is important to know that men and women have different seats at the age of seven." Ye Yuran said with a smile as if he didn't notice anything, "But we are in the countryside, there is no such thing.

So much attention is paid to the fact that the room is so big and there are no screens or anything like that, just separate tables."

A few words suddenly resolved the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Old Man Zhu said with a smile: "You, Aunt Zhu, have worked as a maid in a rich family before, so you know better. Rich families have many rules and are very picky. How can we live a comfortable life in the countryside like us?"

"Hahahaha... I've heard of it. I know a pig slaughterer in a wealthy family in town. He said that he gets nervous every time he goes to a wealthy family. The housekeepers, mothers-in-law, etc. always tell him this rule.

That rule made his legs tremble because he was afraid of bumping into some master or lady and getting into trouble." Although Butcher Li has never been to such a place, he is also a butcher of pigs, so he will definitely be in other people's pig stalls.

We met on the Internet and chatted for a few words.

He didn't know what the rules were, but Aunt Zhu had lived in a rich family, so he couldn't "make a fuss", was that showing his timidity? So, he followed their words and "rounded" them.

Butcher Li couldn't remember the specific content of what he said, but the general outline should be correct, and no one would verify the truth or falsehood, so he said it as if it was "true."

While Ye Yuran was sharing the food with everyone, he also extracted some innocuous rules from the original owner's memory and told them as "jokes".

The atmosphere recovered a little, and Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu and others dared to raise their heads and interject a few words.

"Mom, what are you cooking? It smells weird." Zhu Si looked at the big piece of meat in his bowl and wanted to take a bite on the spot.

"Braised pork," Ye Yuran said with a smile, "It is made with a secret recipe passed down from ancestors. Each person has two pieces. You can eat it slowly later."

"No, there are six pieces in my bowl." Zhu Si counted them. He was sure that he counted correctly and there were many.

"The rest is radish," Ye Yuran said. "I was afraid that the meat would be too fat and you would feel greasy, so I put radish in it to relieve the greasiness. And if the radish is dipped in the gravy of the braised pork, it will also be very delicious.

Keep it and eat it this time, you will never forget it for the rest of your life.”

The first time I eat it, I am always deeply impressed. Ye Yuran is not worried at all that they will not be able to "remember" it.

As for whether she is really afraid of the greasy meat or wants to save on eating meat, only she knows in her heart.

Zhu Si poked it with his chopsticks, and sure enough he found that the radish felt completely different from meat when pierced, but it looked a bit similar.

"As long as it's made by my mother, even radishes are delicious." Zhu Wu praised sincerely.

He was not complimenting Ye Yuran, but every time Ye Yuran cooked, the quality of the Zhu family's food would go up a notch, which this group of people who had eaten "pig food" for so many years had to look forward to.

Butcher Li looked at the aroma in the bowl, and when he heard what they said, he also started to look forward to it.

However, he had to admit that the Zhu family's eating "rules" were really big. There was no such complicated "food sharing" rule in their family.

As soon as everyone was seated, his mother-in-law distributed the food to everyone, and let everyone "grab" the rest. It was only his and his son's portion, and no one dared to snatch it.

But the Zhu family is different. From big to small, everyone in the Zhu family has two bowls each, one for rice and one for the main course, all separated.

The bowl of eggs and fried vegetables, on the other hand, was placed in a large communal bowl and not divided.

After dividing the food in a circle, Ye Yuran realized how much was left, so she divided it in another circle before finishing all the food in the basin. Even the red meat soup was not wasted and was shared among everyone.

While dividing, she said: "This rice with soup is delicious. After you finish eating the meat and radish, you can pour the rice into this bowl and mix it. If you want a stronger taste, add less rice."

It wasn't until Old Man Zhu called "dinner" and moved his chopsticks for the first time that the Zhu family started eating.

"Try it quickly, the meat made by my wife is so delicious!" Mr. Zhu took a bite of the braised pork and was immediately conquered by the sweet and tender meat. He wanted to stuff a whole piece into his mouth.

But after previous experience, he knew that delicious food should be tasted slowly, otherwise it will be gone later.

So he cherished the first piece.

Butcher Li had no such experience. He stuffed the whole piece into his mouth and bit into it: "Hiss..."

My mother, why is this food so delicious?!

He dared to say that he had never eaten something so delicious in his life. It was so delicious that he even wanted to bite his tongue.

He knew for the first time that he had always thought that since he inherited the pig-killing business from his father, his family's life must be better than other families, but he really didn't expect that everyone was equally poor, but they married

When he married a woman who knew how to cook, his life would be different.

Suddenly he felt a little jealous of Old Man Zhu. Really, just thinking about him being able to eat such delicious food from time to time made Butcher Li feel a little uncomfortable.

It wasn't that he didn't have the opportunity to marry a maid from a wealthy family, but he didn't like that maid as not as good-looking as his current wife, so...
