Chapter 360 Li Guoping Follow-up
Li Lanying was so confused by the praise.
She rarely had the chance to cook meat at home, and she mostly made vegetable porridge. She didn't think her cooking was that delicious.
Later, the village asked her to help with a wedding. After she cooked a dish, everyone in the village said that the meat dishes she cooked were better than those of others.
But the villagers can only eat meat twice a year, so of course meat tastes good.
When she heard the villagers say those things, she didn't care.
Now that she hears her relatives in Kyoto praising her so much, she starts to doubt whether her cooking is really that delicious.
Lin Guosheng ate two pieces of braised pork and felt that the Song family was not being polite. The braised pork they had eaten at the state-owned restaurant last time was indeed not as delicious as the one made by his wife.
The last ten dishes were all eaten up and there was not much left.
All the bread and rice are gone.
Grandpa Song felt that he hadn't been so full in a long time.
He walked around the yard to help digest his food.
Lin's mother invited the Song family to sit in the pavilion. Liu Daxiu and Zhang Guilian had already brought tea and fruit plates and placed them on the stone table.
Mother Song saw that the fruit plate was very exquisitely arranged. She didn't expect her in-laws to be so good at plating.
The apples were cut into long strips and stacked in the shape of a pyramid. Sunlight shone through the gaps in the fruit bowl. The apple strips looked crisp, tender and juicy, making people want to eat them.
The other dish was pear balls. The pears were scooped into round balls with a small hoe and piled on a dark brown plate. They looked translucent and the pear juice overflowed from the balls, sparkling in the sunlight.
The third plate is oranges stacked like small towers.
The way to handle apples and pears was suggested by Lin Qingqing.
The Lin family thought this was the style that people in Kyoto liked to eat, so they made it accordingly.
Grandma Song, Mother Song and several other female guests sat down around the stone table with Mother Lin, while the men all sat down in the corridor.
"Today's lunch will be all meat dishes. My dear in-laws, please have some fruit to relieve the greasiness." Mother Lin pointed at the toothpick and said to the Song family.
Grandma Song ate a pear ball with a toothpick. It was crispy, refreshing and sweet.
“These pears are really good.”
Mother Lin grinned and said, "We play with things in the fields every day, so we are familiar with them."
Mother Song looked at Mother Lin with a smile and asked, "My dear, did you beat someone up on Wangfujing Street yesterday afternoon?"
Mother Lin's face froze and she swallowed.
It’s over! Did the beating incident reach the ears of my in-laws?
She quickly waved her hands and explained: "We didn't hit him on purpose. It was because that family occupied Yiyuan's house and cursed at us, so we..."
"Good fight!" Song's mother said excitedly.
"Yesterday, Li Guoping made a scene at the gate of our compound. You hit her so hard that her face became swollen like a pig's head. Oh my! I was dying of laughter."
Mother Song clapped her hands and laughed.
She has always disliked Li Guoping, but she couldn't hit her with a legitimate reason. Yesterday, when she saw Li Guoping's face, she laughed on the spot. She didn't know how many slaps she had to give for it to be so swollen.
Mother Lin felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Mother Song suddenly burst into laughter.
Song's mother explained, "The person you hit was my sister-in-law. Ever since an accident happened in my family, she has been displeased with me and has been trying to make me unhappy. You vented my anger for me."
She held Lin's mother's hand affectionately, her eyes full of excitement.
"My dear relative, you and I must have been destined to be together in your previous life. God sent you to save me."
