Chapter 24: The White Flour Buns Eaten Up
Although the Jia family seemed to have gained a great advantage, there were gains and losses. Their ugly eating habits made many people in the courtyard feel uncomfortable.
Of course, this is not surprising. You took the biggest one, and others were left with the smaller ones.
Under normal circumstances, the waiters will arrange the distribution of the main dishes on each table according to the situation. If the fish on this table is big, the chicken will be smaller; if the duck on that table is small, there will be more meat.
In addition, the largest fish, chickens and ducks are usually placed on the table for the most important guests.
The way the Jia family eats is really ugly. In order to eat more and take more, they even lose their dignity.
So some people started gossiping about the Jia family behind their backs. Of course, because they felt uncomfortable, some unpleasant things that shouldn't be said were also said.
The two widows of the Jia family didn't care what others said. In their opinion, they were smart and others were jealous that the fish, chickens and ducks on their table were bigger than others.
They don't care about other people's gossip at all. Instead, they think it is envy and jealousy of their own cleverness and intelligence, and complaints from losers.
Wu Zhen and his third uncle Yan Bugui's family of seven just sat at the same table.
The third uncle Yan Bugui's family originally had six people, but the eldest son Yan Jiecheng got married and also lived in the front yard of the courtyard, so there were exactly seven people in the family.
Moreover, the third uncle Yan Bugui was very cunning. When giving gifts at banquets, the seven of them were considered one family. When dividing things among the households, the seven of them were considered two families.
Third uncle Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang had a similar idea. Their family of seven sat together, and with the addition of Wu Zhen, who was a generous person and would definitely not pack up anything, all the leftovers on the table would belong to their family!
In addition, Wu Zhen was at this table. As a big spender, the dishes he sent would definitely be more substantial than those at the other tables, so the third uncle Yan Bugui invited Wu Zhen who lived next door to form a table with him.
Wu Zhen did not object. He felt that it was quite nice to sit with his third uncle Yan Bugui and his family. After all, he was familiar with them and would not feel constrained.
Each family in the courtyard also found people they got along with to share a table with, so overall the moving party was very smooth and harmonious.
However, everyone tacitly agreed not to eat the main dishes such as chicken, duck and fish. After everyone discussed it, these main dishes were basically packed up to take home, in fact, even the plates were taken home!
They will wash them clean and return them when the time comes. In fact, many of the pots and pans are their own.
Every household has their own ideas. Some prepare to eat the food slowly at home, some prepare to give the food to their relatives, and some families are entertaining guests and can just put together a big dish to save a lot of money.
Therefore, everyone ate the housewarming banquet in a very polite manner, and many people ate steamed buns with vegetarian dishes.
What’s surprising is that by the time the moving party was over, there were only a few steamed buns made from 50 kilograms of standard flour left!
Wu Zhen really admires these people. They would rather eat the free white flour buns than waste them.
This kid Banggeng said he ate fifteen or sixteen white flour buns.
He ate fifteen or sixteen steamed buns by himself. I really don’t know how his stomach grew.
Banggeng saw that Wu Zhen was worried about him, so he told Wu Zhen that he knew he couldn't drink water after eating too much, and that after this meal, he could at least last until tomorrow noon before eating again!
The third uncle Yan Bugui told Wu Zhen that this guy was just bragging. He probably only ate about ten steamed buns, and he said he ate fifteen or sixteen just to get more!
This kid Banggeng took two now, then two more after a while. The third uncle Yan Bugui felt that this kid had taken almost twenty steamed buns in total.
Xiaodang and Huaihua followed suit and probably took no less than ten each, using the excuse that their aunt said the white flour steamed buns were delicious. He Yuzhu would then be so happy that he would take the initiative to stuff the white flour steamed buns into their hands.
The third uncle Yan Bugui also told Wu Zhen that in fact only half of these white flour buns were eaten on the spot, and almost half were secretly taken home by everyone.
The third uncle Yan Bugui did some calculations for Wu Zhen and said that He Yuzhu was a good cook and that one pound of flour could make eight steamed buns.
One white flour steamed bun weighs two taels, and fifty kilograms of white flour can make four hundred white flour steamed buns.
These people probably ate about 200 steamed buns on the spot, so almost half of them were taken home by everyone.
Suddenly Wu Zhen discovered a problem. One steamed bun weighs two taels, and one pound of flour can make eight steamed buns. Does one pound equal sixteen taels?
Wu Zhen asked the third uncle Yan Bugui, and the third uncle laughed and said, one pound of flour equals four ounces of water. A pound of flour with poor skills can only make one pound and four ounces of white flour steamed buns, and the extra two ounces of weight represents the chef's level!
