In fact, Ye Hua had misunderstood this point. Mrs. Ye lacked confidence to begin with, and was afraid that since she came from outside the Great Wall, the dishes she cooked would not be up to standard, and that she would be disliked by Ye Hua and would not be able to take this business.
So that day, Mrs. Ye actually did her best to prepare a table full of dishes.
However, Ye Juaner's family conditions are not as good as Ye Hua's, and the ingredients prepared that day were far less abundant and fresh than today. Naturally, the food made with good ingredients will taste better.
The relatives and friends outside who were still immersed in the fragrance heard Ye Hua's call and slowly dispersed, each finding their own place to sit.
Ye Hua is hosting a return home banquet for his daughter today, with five tables in total.
There is a main table in the main hall, and all the people sitting at the table are male members of the Jiang family.
Jiang Zhongyou sat in the main seat with his son-in-law Liu Dongjin, and Jiang Zhongyou's uncles and brothers sat below.
The second table was set up in the basement of the east room, and was attended by Ye Hua's eldest son Jiang Rongfei. Sitting at the table were his cousins of the same generation.
The third table was placed in the west room, with Ye Hua as the host and all the people sitting at the table were female.
The fourth table was set up in the east wing, overseen by Mrs. Jiang, and all the guests were children brought by each family.
The last table was set up in the west wing, with only Jiang Qiuyi and her little sisters sitting there.
This is because Ye Hua loves his daughter and doesn't want her to be restricted. Otherwise, when people usually hold a homecoming banquet, Jiang Qiuyi will have to sit at the table for the women in the west room, and be questioned and laughed at by a bunch of old women and young wives.
"Your mother really loves you. She even prepared a special table for us!"
Just as the dishes were about to be served, Qin Xiaofang finally came out of nowhere and walked into the house. Before she even sat down on the stool, she couldn't stop talking sourly.
"If it weren't for Auntie's love for Qiuyi, you wouldn't have anywhere to sit today!"
As the host of the return banquet, Jiang Qiuyi naturally couldn't say anything contradictory to the guests.
Fortunately, a sister who was on good terms with her came to her rescue and dealt with it.
"Huang Yueping, there's no need to bully me with your words. You're getting married in a few days. How much can you learn from Qiu Yi in your homecoming banquet?"
“Whatever you learn is enough.”
Huang Yueping's father passed away early. As a widow with three children, life was not easy. She was considered one of the poorer families in the village.
Huang Yueping is the eldest in the family. She has been helping her mother with housework and taking care of her younger siblings since she was a child. She has a very hot-tempered personality and is not afraid of Qin Xiaofang's sour words at all.
"Qiu Yi is good in every way, so I'm willing to learn from her. If I can't learn even 80% or 100%, then I'll be a hundred times better than you if I can learn even 50% or 40%!"
"You..." Qin Xiaofang was furious.
Huang Yueping raised her chin more and more proudly, as if saying, "If you are not satisfied, come and hit me."
Qin Xiaofang naturally didn't dare to take action here, as she understood the principle of being outnumbered.
Moreover, in her heart, the gap between Huang Yueping and Jiang Qiuyi's conditions was so huge that it was impossible for her to have no resentment at all. She was just showing off with words.
Fortunately, the person Ye Hua invited to help came into the house with two plates and served the food.
"Five-spiced donkey meat."
"Cold rice noodles."
The dish of five-spice donkey meat was added at Ye Juaner's suggestion.
At that time, Mrs. Ye said that if Ye Hua's family could buy donkey meat, they could make five-spice donkey meat. If they couldn't buy donkey meat, they could buy beef tendon and make five-spice beef.
But when Ye Juaner thought about the five-spice donkey meat she had eaten before, her mouth was almost watering.
She quickly slurped her food and strongly suggested, "Listen to me, you must buy donkey meat, buy tender ones, don't eat the whole old donkey.
"I'm not kidding, it's so delicious you can swallow it all with your tongue!"
Fortunately, the autumn harvest is over now, and there are more people selling things than before. In the end, Ye Hua actually managed to buy a large piece of donkey meat.
So just now, when he was watching Mrs. Ye taking out the braised donkey meat and slicing and putting it on a plate in the kitchen, Ye Hua couldn't help but reach out and pick up a piece of the leftovers and put it in his mouth.
The aroma of the meat made her dizzy as soon as she put it in her mouth.
She had never eaten such delicious meat in her life.
No wonder Ye Juaner's saliva almost overflowed when she talked about five-spice donkey meat.
At that time, she thought that Ye Juan'er was already an adult, so why was she still so greedy.
It turns out that it wasn’t that others were greedy, but that I was ignorant and had never eaten such delicious meat!
So while Mrs. Ye was arranging the dishes, Ye Hua stood beside her and ate the leftovers she had cut off. He took several bites before he could barely control himself.
At this moment, at the dinner table, Ye Hua, as the host, could not show his greedy look anymore, so he carefully observed everyone's reactions after eating.
As the first dish served, although two were served together, everyone's chopsticks reached for the five-spice donkey meat.
Pick up a piece of meat, dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth.
The three main rooms and the west wing all became eerily quiet. Only the faint sounds of noise could be heard coming from the room where the children were eating.
Even the men in the main hall and the east wing who were urging each other to drink stopped talking. As soon as they finished one piece of meat, they quickly reached for the second piece of meat with their chopsticks, fearing that they would eat less than others if they were slow.
In the west wing, a group of young girls and wives were also shocked by this dish.
Huang Yueping yelled, "Qin Xiaofang, have some shame! Look at how many pieces of meat you picked up with your chopsticks? You can't afford meat at home, so you come here to enjoy it?"
Qin Xiaofang originally thought that everyone was still immersed in shock, and she could secretly put a few more slices of meat in her bowl and eat slowly, but she didn't know that Huang Yueping saw it.
"How much meat is there on a plate? There are so many people at the table. Why do you only care about yourself? Didn't your family teach you rules?" Huang Yueping's words were like knives, every word stabbing Qin Xiaofang's heart.
