13 Win or lose

The elbows and roast meat were brought to the table and placed on the table. The meat on the plate was still trembling with the rich sauce.

The roasted pork is on the plate, in neat, square pieces. Looking at the oily sauce and the radish flowers on the plate, it looks and smells more delicious.

In the second set, Cheng Haoran continued to shout:

"Stuffed mushrooms, shrimps, fried chicken, tiger skin chicken feet, and shredded sweet potatoes are here."

Looking at the white porcelain plate and the exquisite dishes, Wu Lin's father and Cheng Si looked at the meat on the table. Their eyes met for an instant, both staring at the braised meat on the plate. It looked soft and fragrant just by looking at it.

You can already think of the taste as soon as you drink it.

Cheng Si picked up the chopsticks and Wu Lin's father looked at each other and smiled, and they moved their chopsticks at the same time to pick up the braised pork.

Both of them picked up the braised pork first, and the plump roast meat kept trembling when they were held on the chopsticks. If the chopstick skills are not practiced to a certain level, the roasted pork would seem to bounce and escape on its own.

Eat the roasted pork while it's hot. Cut it down gently with your teeth. The first bite will reveal the gelatinous consistency of the pig skin. The next cut will reveal the smoothness of the fatty meat. The next cut will reveal the tenderness of the lean meat, with distinct layers of roasted meat.

The meat put a smile of satisfaction and happiness on the faces of two old men whose combined age was over a hundred.

"This meat is so delicious."

Cheng Si and Wu Lin's father both smiled and said together.

Under the table, Wu Lin's mother gently touched her husband's leg and winked. The purpose of their coming to taste the food was to persuade the in-laws to give up on holding their grandson's birthday party in the village. Unexpectedly, her wife's first words revealed her.

Already.

After finishing speaking, Wu Lin's father didn't even realize that his wife and daughter were staring at him. He only focused on picking up vegetables. When he stood up and picked up the shrimps placed in front of his daughter, he accidentally caught his daughter staring at him.

He looked at himself again, and after finishing the shrimps and sitting down, he realized that his wife and daughter were staring at him.

Asked subconsciously:

"What? You're not hungry? Why are you staring at me with such delicious food? Is there food on my face?"

Wu Lin didn't say anything, but she was also picking up vegetables with her head down. She took a bite of Pipi shrimp, and her pupils dilated instantly. Such delicious shrimps, the brown shell was fragrant and crispy, and contained the tender and silky shrimp meat inside.

The spicy taste of salt and pepper gives the shrimp meat a different taste bud experience.

Wu Lin's mother watched her father and daughter eating. She herself had been swallowing saliva for a long time. She was very hungry. She also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork elbow. The elbow meat was cooked three times before and after being deep-fried and oiled.

The small bubbles on the skin will make the pig skin fluffy, and the large piece of pig skin will completely wrap the meat. With a gentle chopstick, the meat will rise with the skin. Dip it in the sauce, and it will leave a fragrant aroma in your mouth.

After eating the pork knuckle, Wu Lin’s mother completely forgot the purpose of coming and said involuntarily:

"This elbow is so delicious. The stew is full of collagen!"

At the dinner table, Keke was already enjoying her meal. She was holding a chicken leg on her left hand, and kept picking up vegetables with the chopsticks on her right hand. Her eyes were still staring at the other dishes on the table, wishing that all the dishes would be placed in front of him alone.

"Grandma, this fried chicken is much better than the ones I bought in the city."

Wang Huahua saw her grandson eating so deliciously, and the smile never stopped on her face. She kept picking up vegetables for her grandson and said:

"With such a delicious dish, of course you have to celebrate grandma's birthday here, right, Keke."

While the grandson was eating, he couldn't move his mouth to speak. He kept nodding while drinking:

"Uh-huh."

After finishing his meal, he didn’t bother to answer grandma’s words and pointed at the dishes:

"Grandma, I can't reach it, give me a mushroom ball."

When Wu Lin heard Wang Huahua's words about going back to the village to celebrate her birthday, she immediately put down her chopsticks warily and said:

"Mom, it's not like we haven't finished trying the dishes yet, and there is no final conclusion, right, parents."

After Wu Lin finished speaking, she looked at her parents who were also busy picking up vegetables. Unexpectedly, her parents were so fascinated by the food that they didn't pay any attention to Wu Lin.

Cheng Haoran held the last pot of vegetables and shouted:

"Roasted potatoes, chicken wings, couple, crucian carp soup, all the vegetables."

Cheng Haoran and Yun Xi also took their seats. Cheng Haoran looked at his son eating. The little guy ate deliciously and happily touched his son's head.

He turned around and saw that his favorite dish was already in pieces. Without saying anything more, he hurriedly immersed himself in eating.

At this time, people were eating quietly, and the only sounds they could hear were the chewing of food, the clinking of chopsticks and plates, and the slurping of soup.

Wu Lin saw that no one spoke. The purpose of her return today was to refuse to go back to the village to hold a banquet, so she spoke first:

“The food is delicious, but the environment is not as good as a hotel, so I’d rather go to a wine shop.”

Hearing this, Wang Huahua seemed to be a top student who had finally waited for the test paper. She couldn't wait to answer, put down her chopsticks, and said with confidence:

"Today is a food tasting. What's important is that the food is delicious."

Wu Lin stepped on the end of her mother-in-law's voice and then said:

"Mom, the food is delicious on the one hand, but the environment is also very important. When the time comes, we will post on WeChat Moments, and we will compare each other without saying anything, but these are the key points of comparison."

Wu Lin paused for a moment and continued:

"Also, the birthday party held by Keke's classmate last month was at the best hotel in the city. They are only a few weeks apart. What do the parents of our classmates think of us?

They will definitely discuss it when they go to school. Nowadays, children know famous brands at a young age. They all know whether the venue of these birthday parties is high-end or not. Also, if the venue for Keke is so simple, the teacher will look down upon him when he sees it.

of."

Wu Lin spoke impassionedly, and her voice rose several times. Wang Huahua didn't give in, and said angrily:

"What's wrong with the village? Why is it so shabby? There wasn't such a nice house when you and Haoran got married. It was all renovated later. It's because you look at people with colored glasses, so you see others the same as you.

Oh, if you go to a star-rated hotel for a birthday party, the teacher will move the seat forward? Or can you let the principal greet you when you return to school? Are there people in the village who are richer than us? They are all in the village.

It’s okay, you’ve lived in the city for a few years and yet you look down on the village.”

Wu Lin would never give in and continued to explain:

"Mom, what you said is too extreme. You went to the hotel just to let Keke have the same birthday as other children. Have you ever heard that when others are doing this, you have to do something different? Then

It’s just wrong.”

"Bullshit, this is not how banquets are held in the village."

Wang Huahua finished speaking breathlessly, then drank the boiled water on the table and did not continue talking.

The two of them said everything they had been holding in their stomachs. Ever since Wu Lin came back, there had been a secret rivalry between the two of them.

At this time, Yun Xi was sitting at the dinner table, looking at the tense situation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, knowing that it would be awkward to stay there any longer.

"Auntie, I'll go back when I'm full. You guys can chat slowly."

Yun Xi said something to Wang Huahua, nodded goodbye to several people at the dinner table, and walked out.

Yun Xi walked out, and the whole family looked at me and me, not knowing what to say now.

Cheng Haoran looked at the current situation and felt a little troubled. He didn't expect that it was originally a good birthday party, and he should be happy, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.

In fact, before he came back, he also thought of doing it in a hotel, which would look good and sound impressive, but after eating Yunxi's food, he felt that those so-called high-end hotel meals were just a pile of dregs.

Holding a banquet is not just about hoping that your relatives and friends will eat and drink well. Instead of spending a lot of money to have a good meal in a high-end hotel, it is better to go back to the village to hold a banquet.

But how should I communicate this matter to my wife?

If he said it directly, his wife would definitely disagree. She cares about face the most, so he must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

At this time, Wu Lin's parents were also struggling. This meal was the best meal they had ever eaten, even though they were invited by their daughter to support her.

But they couldn't bear to miss out on such a delicious meal. They had also eaten those high-end hotel meals. They were similar in all major hotels. It was just that the tableware was very high-end. It was neither delicious nor unpalatable. How could it be cooked by this chef today?

It's so delicious, it's simply earth-shatteringly delicious.

However, although the two of them wanted to speak, they didn't know what to say when they saw their daughter's expression was not good.

At this time, Cheng Haoran stood up and said:

"Wife, parents, please don't worry. Wu Lin just dislikes the poor environment in rural areas. I will use the money I spent on the hotel to hire a good team and arrange it well. The effect will definitely be no worse than that of a big hotel."

"And not many people now like to get close to nature and experience different customs and cultures. I believe that as long as we do it better, everything else won't be a problem."

When Wu Lin's parents heard what their son-in-law said, they also found an excuse to persuade their daughter and said:

"Linlin, Haoran is right, the countryside also has its benefits. At least the delicious food is not even comparable to a five-star hotel."

"As soon as this dish was served, I told them that the chef at the state banquet could cook it. I was afraid that they would laugh at it. I was afraid that it would taste so delicious that they would want to swallow it with their tongues."

"As for other aspects, Haoran has a very good idea."

After Wu Lin's father finished speaking, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. He even admired his wit. This way, if his daughter decides to do it in the village, they can come over again and enjoy such delicious food.

Who wouldn't want to eat it again.

At this time, Wu Lin saw that everyone in the family was on her mother-in-law's side, and she was a little shaken in her heart.

This dish is indeed the most delicious dish she has ever tasted. It is said that the food prepared by other children, even the richest in the child's class, and even the three-star Michelin chef they hired can't compare to this.

Her only concern now is the environment. Since her husband has already promised to spend a lot of money to hire a professional team to do a good job, she thinks it should be good by then.

Besides, she also wanted to eat Yunxi's cooking again, but she was worried about her children and her own face, so she objected.

Now all worries were gone, she nodded and said:

"Oh well."
