"Senior Sister Le, come quickly!"

The four brothers and sisters, who had already chosen a seat by the window in the lobby with their parents, found Yin Le and immediately waved to call her.

Yin Le came over quickly with amusement, and Si Niang patted the empty seat beside her and said, "Here, here, Senior Sister Le, let's sit together."

"Okay!" Yin Le sat down readily and couldn't help rubbing the little girl's cute red face.

When everyone was present, Qin Yao signaled to Liu Ji that he could order the food.

Liu Ji pretended to shake his sleeves and showed his hands, "Waiter, order some food!"

Yuzhou City is indeed a big place. There is a menu when ordering food. The waiter brings a large plate with the names of the dishes on it. Customers can just flip the plate to find what they want. It is convenient and gives customers a sense of ceremony.

The fish sashimi recommended by Zhou Meng had to be tried. Liu Ji first flipped over the fish sashimi sign and asked the four children in the family to choose one each, including his apprentice Yin Le, in order to treat everyone equally.

Finally, Qin Yao added seven more bowls of sweet soup to quench her thirst, and the whole family waited for the dishes to be served with great anticipation.

Zhou Meng had a strong sense of boundaries and retreated to the door of the inn alone. This way he could hear the guests' calls at any time without disturbing the family's meals, and it also made it convenient for him to continue looking for his next employer in the inn.

There were not many guests at the Ping'an Inn, so the food was served quickly. Six dishes and a soup were all served in a quarter of an hour.

The dishes are beautifully presented, with bright colors, and smell delicious, with perfect color, aroma and taste.

Sanlang couldn't help swallowing his saliva secretly, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, "Aniang~"

Qin Yao nodded, and Sanlang quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating the fish sashimi that Zhou Meng strongly recommended, and picked up a piece of tender fish belly meat.

The rest of Liu Ji and his companions also put down their chopsticks one after another and put the fish into their mouths with great anticipation.

etc!

Qin Yao, who was the last one to move and was about to pick up the fish, stopped and looked warily at the two adults and four children who had already put the fish into their mouths but had very strange expressions.

"What's going on?" Qin Yao asked suspiciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ji looked as if he had eaten shit. He picked up the empty bowl, lowered his head, and elegantly spat out all the fish meat he had chewed in his mouth.

If there is one, there will be two. The remaining four brothers and sisters of Dalang and Yin Le followed suit and spit the fish meat in their mouths into the empty bowls.

Then they all took a deep breath, showing expressions of gratitude for surviving the disaster.

Thank God they are still breathing.

The six of them were silent. They stared at Qin Yao's chopsticks that were about to poke the fish meat. It didn't seem like they were trying to persuade her not to use her chopsticks. Instead, they were looking forward to seeing her reaction after eating the fish sashimi.

“Is it so bad?” It looks very fresh. It’s just sashimi. How bad can it be?

Qin Yao didn't believe it, so she picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth under the excited gaze of Liu Ji and others.

Soon, the fish meat that entered the mouth was no longer covered by the seasoning, revealing its true appearance.

A strong smell of earth accompanied by a slippery texture of rotten meat made Qin Yao's face change drastically. She immediately felt nauseous and started retching, vomiting all the soft and rotten fish meat.

She must believe in evil!

Seeing her like this, the six people opposite immediately smiled with relief, and the seven of them tacitly picked up the sweet soup to rinse their mouths. After all, there were so many dishes, it couldn't be that all of them were so unpalatable, so they could still continue to try.

The family of seven was in a very optimistic mood. They raised their sweet soup together, toasted each other in a formal manner, and then prepared to drink it all in one gulp - OH NO!!!

The sour smell of vinegar rushed straight to my head. Ping An Inn, you call this sweet soup?!

The seven people's expectant expressions disappeared in an instant, and they spat out all the sweet soup in their mouths expressionlessly.

"Water, water!" Liu Ji shouted.

Yin Le hurriedly took down the water bag and handed it over. Seeing Liu Ji holding it up and drinking it, the four brothers and sisters of Dalang exclaimed, "Dad, please leave some for us!"

The old father still had some conscience and did not drink all the water, leaving most of it for his wife.

Qin Yao was not polite either. She rinsed her mouth with some water first and passed the rest to Dalang. In this way, the four brothers and sisters got a sip of life-saving sweet mountain spring water and finally survived.

Faced with the remaining dishes, the four brothers and sisters looked disappointed and leaned back honestly.

Sanlang covered his rumbling stomach, feeling so aggrieved that he almost cried. He had never eaten such horrible food in his life.

Yin Le looked at his master and grandfather tentatively: "Try something else?"

Qin Yao refused rationally.

Liu Ji looked at the exquisitely presented jade tofu soup and said uncertainly, "Ah Le, why don't you try it?"

"No, no, no, Master, you should try it first." Yin Le said embarrassedly.

Liu Ji: "No, no, no, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue. You are young, so you eat first."

Yin Le: "Then, let me try?"

Qin Yao's family of six nodded vigorously and gave her encouraging looks, "You are the only hope of our family!"

Yin Le swallowed, took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks and reached for the bowl of emerald tofu soup that he had high hopes for.

Sanlang: "Sister Le, is it unpalatable?"

Liu Ji: "If it doesn't taste good, just spit it out. Master won't blame you."

Qin Yao: "Why don't you just spit it out."

Yin Le didn't spit it out, but swallowed it. Under the expectant gaze of his family, he said with mixed feelings: "It's not bad, but it's not delicious either. I can eat it."

This tofu soup gave Yin Le more courage to try new things. Adhering to the idea that he would never let his master vomit even if he was poisoned to death, he tried the remaining four dishes in one go.

"Except for the special fish sashimi and sweet soup, everything else is normal." Yin Le nodded heavily, "It's edible, eat it with confidence!"

Qin Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

Having been spoiled twice by the sweet soup and fish sashimi, I had no appetite even if I picked up the chopsticks again.

Dalang and Erlang poked at the white rice and managed to eat two bites.

Sanlang was already pouting in grievance, mumbling, "I miss Uncle Awang, I miss Aunt Li, I miss my aunt and my second aunt."

They are all good cooks, such as my eldest uncle and second uncle, but it’s hard to remember them.

Yin Le sighed, touched Si Niang's pitiful face, stood up and said, "There is still some dry food left, I will go get it."

The children nodded listlessly, and their dull eyes finally brightened a little.

In fact, from the evening of the first day away from home, our family of seven began to miss the delicious meals at home.

Especially Awang’s cooking skills. I didn’t think it was so rare when I was at home, but when I went on a long trip, I realized that they usually eat so well at home!

These past few days, whenever he ate out, he was able to have some appetite thanks to the dry food that Li prepared before leaving.

When you are in Zijing Prefecture, you can also buy one or two meals of delicious noodles.

But since we set foot in Yuzhou, we found that the tastes of the two places were very different, and the family of seven had lost a lot of weight. (End of this chapter)
