Chapter 23: Jia Family Plays Cleverly at a Banquet

Because the meal hadn't officially started yet, everyone took a few white flour buns to fill their stomachs first.

Seeing that there were so many white flour buns, Jia Zhang suddenly had an idea. She told the three brothers and sisters Banggeng to eat more white flour buns and not to leave any for themselves.

Banggeng didn't come to his senses at first. Didn't he say before that he wanted to empty his stomach and wanted to go without food for a day so that he could snatch food from others at the banquet?

Qin Huairu quickly explained to the three Banggeng siblings:

"There are six of us in our family of five plus Aunt Qin Jingru, and we will share a table with the uncle and aunt. Since we are all family, there is no need to fight for food."

"Because our family is in financial difficulty, the uncle and aunt would be embarrassed to take the food home, so the leftover food from the moving party belongs to our family!"

"You don't usually get to eat this white flour bun, so eat more today. White flour buns are a waste, but you can take the vegetables home and eat them slowly!"

After saying this, not only Banggeng understood, but his sisters Xiaodang and Huaihua also understood that the white flour buns were for everyone to eat together, and the leftovers from the banquet could be taken home and eaten slowly.

White flour steamed buns are also very delicious. At home, we usually eat corn paste with steamed corn bread. Sometimes we come across multi-grain porridge, which is even worse. I don’t know what kind of grains these multi-grains are made of. It makes my throat sore just eating them!

The three Banggeng siblings were very obedient. After finishing the white flour buns in their hands, they continued to rush out to grab white flour buns to eat.

Not long after, many families with financial difficulties saw the three Banggeng siblings chewing white flour buns with great effort and felt curious.

Shouldn't you save room for a big meal? Why are you so eager to eat the steamed buns now?

After everyone got the information out of the three Banggeng siblings, they understood the Jia family's thoughts and joined the team that was desperately eating white flour buns.

Everyone shares a table with their good neighbors so that there will be no conflicts when it comes time to share the food.

He Yuzhu saw that everyone was so supportive that they even ate the white flour buns with great joy. He thought that it was because of his good cooking skills that even the white flour buns were delicious.

So He Yuzhu started bragging again, saying that he had been making white flour steamed buns for thirty years. If he considered himself the second best in making white flour steamed buns in Nanluoguxiang, no one would dare to claim to be the best.

There is no doubt that the white flour buns this time are indeed delicious, but He Yuzhu's good skills are only part of the reason.

More importantly, the quality of the standard flour at the military grain station is much better than that at ordinary grain stores, so the white flour steamed buns made from it are whiter, softer and chewier.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang unexpectedly wanted to go to the kitchen to help.

He also asked Banggeng to take his aunt Qin Jingru to grab a good seat and wait for them to serve the dishes.

Qin Jingru was confused for a moment. Wasn't there someone helping to serve the dishes? Why did she need to help?

However, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's actions made Qin Jingru understand all at once.

While Qin Huairu greeted He Yuzhu who was still finishing the work in the kitchen, she and Jia Zhang selected the largest fish and the largest chicken and duck dishes from the meat dishes and brought them directly to the table where her family was seated.

Although Chaoyang Vegetable Market is very large, the chickens, ducks and fish there are all of different sizes.

Because the supply of fish in Beijing is relatively small, the sizes of the fish purchased vary greatly, and the size of the whole fish on the table will be very obvious.

Although the size of chickens and ducks is not much different, who are Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi? Why should you suffer a loss when you can take advantage?

He was able to pick out the largest chicken and duck that weighed less than half a pound and move it to the table where his family was sitting.

At first, the people in the courtyard were still wondering why the two widows of the Jia family were so proactive in helping to serve the dishes. In the end, they found out that they were very smart and chose the largest meat dishes to serve.

You can see that the fish head and tail are mostly exposed on the plate, and it is obviously much bigger than the other fish on the plate.

Looking at the other meat dishes, they were also of the largest size, so everyone had their own ideas. However, when He Yuzhu saw so many people rushing into the kitchen to make trouble, he simply drove them all out.

He Yuzhu has been in the kitchen for many years since he was an apprentice. How could he not know what these people who rushed in were thinking? These were all his leftovers!

Seeing that He Yuzhu got angry and chased everyone away, everyone could only try their luck and could only look at the table where Qin Jingru and Banggeng were sitting with envy.
