Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 336: One Table
After Mr. Sheng smiled and sent away the people from the Bao family who came to deliver the banquet, his expression gradually darkened. Cui sat cross-legged on the kang, looking at the table full of food without saying a word.
Sheng Kai and his friends looked at the table full of delicious food, but they couldn't wait any longer. "This table is really hard to prepare! Dad, what are we waiting for? Let's eat, otherwise the food will get cold soon..."
Shen couldn't help drooling as she looked at the table, "That's right, let's eat quickly, Xiaohong's wife, why don't you quickly bring the bowls and chopsticks..."
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, but just stood beside the table, waiting for Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui to speak.
The rules of the old Sheng family are still the same as before. No one else will sit at the table and start eating without the old couple's order.
Seeing that the old man didn't move or speak, Cui glanced at her children and grandchildren gathered around the table, then looked at Old Man Sheng, and she decided to make a decision for him.
"Second son's wife, Xiaohong's wife, go and get the dishes and chopsticks." Cui ordered.
"Oh." Shen was already impatient, and she walked out swiftly, even faster than Xu.
"She is incompetent at nothing at ordinary times. When you order her around, she's like a deaf person. She doesn't make a sound even after being called for a long time, but now she can hear. She just opens her eyes wide when she sees food. She is incompetent at nothing and never satisfied with food!" Cui scolded Shen from behind.
At this moment, Cui opened the lids on the two large basins, and saw one basin full of white flour steamed buns, and the other basin full of white rice.
There was an immediate sound of someone inhaling in the room.
After Shen and Xu came back with the dishes and chopsticks, Cui placed two large bowls of steamed buns and rice next to herself, and then invited the whole family to the table to eat. By the way, she also pulled Grandpa Sheng, who had been immersed in his own world, to her rescue.
The old house still implements the meal distribution system, and the control is naturally in the hands of Cui. Now that there is such a sumptuous feast, it is a good opportunity for Cui to show his skills...
Cui first picked up the bowl. She was going to serve rice to Grandpa Sheng, but after taking a look at the food on the table, she put the bowl down again. "Xiaohong's wife, go get some big bowls." Cui said.
Although Xu didn't know what Cui was going to do, she still obediently went to the kitchen and brought over a few large soup bowls.
Cui put most of the meat dishes on the table, including fish, meat, and meatballs, into several soup bowls. Cui felt that it would be a waste to eat such a rich table of dishes in one meal, so she saved half of the food and planned to eat it for a few more meals in the next few days.
It was rare for the family to have such a good table of food. Sheng Kai originally thought that he could have a good feast, but now most of it was taken away by Cui. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Mom, which of these dishes do you like? Send someone to tell the third brother and ask him to send you another one. Anyway, he is rich now, and the Bao family is also rich... We are living a hard life here, with nothing in our stomachs... This is the only meal that was sent to us. Can't you let us have a good meal!"
"How else do you want to enjoy it?" Cui scolded Sheng Kai without raising her head, her hands moving non-stop. When she felt that it was almost done, she asked Xu to put the dishes in the soup bowls into the kitchen. As it was freezing cold today, they could be kept in the kitchen for several days without worrying about them going bad.
"Your belly is so big, these meals are not enough for you! Otherwise, your father and I won't eat any more and save them for you. Is that okay?"
Sheng Kai moved his mouth, but ultimately he didn't dare to provoke Cui again.
"Today is Xiaoting's big day, my father should be at the table, and so should Xiaohong, Xiaohong's wife, and you, old man..." Sheng Kai muttered, but the implication of his words was not difficult to understand, that is, if these people were to be at the table, then the meal sent by the Bao family would be for the rest of the family, and they would have more food to eat.
"Eat! What are you waiting for!" Mr. Sheng suddenly said. Then he picked up the bowl in front of him and found that it was empty, so he said to Cui, "Why don't you give me some rice?"
Cui hurriedly took the bowl from Mr. Sheng's hand, filled it with white rice, and placed it in front of him.
"Wife Xiaohong, bring us the pot of rice we cooked this morning." Cui ordered again.
After Xu brought over a bowl of bean rice, Cui started to get busy. She left half a bowl of white rice and mixed it together with the bean rice. She also took out half of the white flour buns and then served the rice to the family.
Except for Grandpa Sheng who got a bowl of white rice and two white steamed buns, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan each got a bowl of two-mixed rice and a white steamed bun. The rest of the people only got one bowl of two-mixed rice.
After Cui had distributed the food to everyone, she served herself a bowl of rice, also a bowl of two mixed rice. There were differences between different kinds of rice. Some people had a bowl of rice that stood out, while others had a bowl that was flat and a little empty. The bowls of her children and grandchildren all had rice that stood out, and Cui served herself a bowl that stood out, as well as a white flour bun.
"Let's eat." Cui picked up the chopsticks and spoke.
After Mr. Sheng picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, everyone started eating. Although most of the food on the table was reserved by Cui, it was still quite sumptuous.
The people in the old house had rarely eaten meat since they came back from Hejian County. Naturally, the food on the table aroused everyone's appetite. In just a short while, Sheng Kai had finished a bowl of rice. While eating the steamed buns, he handed the bowl to Cui, asking her to add more rice.
Although it was two kinds of rice, it was mixed with rice after all, and the bean rice was better than usual. In the past, it was Xu who was responsible for adding rice, but today was different. Such a good meal was naturally in the hands of Cui.
After Cui swallowed the piece of fat in her mouth, she slowly took the bowl from Sheng Kai and filled it with rice. "I am so old, and I still have to serve you all day long..."
Sheng Kai just smiled and didn't respond, then lowered his head to eat.
The family ate with great relish, and Cui frequently put slices of fat meat from the dishes into the rice and swallowed them together with the rice. She ate with great relish, but she kept her eyes on Shen and Xiaocao. Whenever they stretched their chopsticks towards the meat and vegetables, she would look over. Xiaocao was thin-skinned and ate dry rice most of the time, only occasionally picking up a piece of food with chopsticks, but Shen was thick-skinned, and she frequently stretched her chopsticks towards the meat and vegetables despite Cui's gaze.
