Chapter 14 The Food Is Served
Chapter 14 The food is served
The woman made a "cut" sound and whispered: "You may not even be so kind to your grandson."
Grandma Zhang was about to retort when she saw a man coming over carrying a long wooden plate.
The food is served!
All the women on the table picked up their chopsticks. As soon as the man put the food on the table, they all put their chopsticks down. With such uniform movements, they were afraid that they would eat less.
Xiao Xi was holding a small teacup with a large piece of egg in it.
When a few vegetarian dishes were served, someone started to complain about the failure of the gift-giving. The family all handed over a few copper coins and ate several plates, all of which were vegetarian, without any fishy taste.
Just when the women at the table were complaining to each other, the man who was serving the food came quickly with a plate. The plate was filled with about ten large bowls of braised pork. The pieces were bright and plump in color, and the rich aroma was even more...
Hooking up is making everyone greedy.
Before the plate was put down, the chopsticks fell down.
As the one with the biggest backup, Grandma Zhang barely kept the order and asked everyone not to grab it, but the eyes of everyone who saw the flesh turned red and they still listened to Grandma Zhang's words. If the chopsticks are slow, they won't be able to grab it.
Seeing that no one was listening, Grandma Zhang held Xiao Xi in one hand and picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks in the other. As soon as the meat was put into the bowl, all the bowls on the table were overturned.
Grandma Zhang quickly held the overturned bowl with her hands and eyes. Someone took the steamed buns wrapped in white cloth and distributed them on each table. As soon as the steamed buns were put on the table, someone took a piece of the steamed bun and dipped it into the broth in the bowl.
"The broth is more fragrant than the meat." The first woman to take off her chopsticks said, and everyone else on the table also picked up their steamed buns to dip into the broth.
After a bowl of steamed pork, the next one was a basin the size of a washbasin, with large chunks of snake meat in it. Those who just said they were in awe of Liu Xian no longer had any fear, and the chopsticks moved faster than anyone else.
I am afraid that I will eat less than others.
Snake meat is so delicious that many people can't stop after taking one bite. A bowl full of snake meat was eaten by someone in a short time. It's just that I ate too much before, and now I can't eat much anymore.
.
When everyone was almost done eating, someone took out the oil paper bags they had prepared earlier and put them into the big basin of snake meat.
"My son didn't come today, so I brought two yuan for my son."
"I'll bring two pieces to my mother-in-law at home."
Everyone said something to each other, and in a short time they carve up the pot of snake meat on the table. Even the snake soup was not spared. A woman poured it into a gourd and said it was taken home to feed the dogs.
The dogs also followed suit and tried it.
Everyone at the table knew very well whose stomach the broth went into. The other women at the table only regretted that they were too slow to grab it.
Waiting until the last sweet soup and salty soup is finished, it also means that the feast is over.
Everyone patted their stomachs with satisfaction, stood up and left with oil paper bags of various sizes in their hands.
Xiao Xi also saw a man who was holding on to the wall and vomiting as soon as he went out. It was obvious that he had eaten too much and couldn't let it go.
In fact, many people have been hungry for this kind of banquet for a day or two in advance just to have a meal here today.
When Ms. Liu and a few other kids finished cleaning up, she saw the extremely clean plates on the table. When the first few dishes were served, they were all polished with steamed buns. For a dozen or so tables, there were only one or two.
There was a little broth left on the table.
Ms. Liu saw that the broth on the table was not to be wasted, so she asked her children to collect the broth and eat it with steamed buns or mixed rice. In her family's situation, broth is a precious treasure. The family can't eat anything meaty during the New Year and festivals, but it can be dipped in some.
The meat is still in the glory of Mrs. Zhang.
Several little guys took the iron basin and poured the remaining broth into a basin.
