Chapter 157: Superb Craftsmanship
At present, there are three meat dishes and six vegetarian dishes.
If we add the freshly fried pig intestines, it will be four real meat dishes.
This kind of specification may not be uncommon in the homes of people with good financial conditions.
But if it is displayed in an ordinary family like Cheng Meifang's, it can be said to be the highest treatment for entertaining guests.
When a meal is placed there, you can tell at a glance whether the meal is sincere or not.
The food was almost ready on the table. After everyone sat down, Wang Huapeng said, "Zhiyu, would you like some wine? I'll get you some. I have two bottles of good wine at home. You can chat with me."
Without waiting for Xiao Zhiyu to respond, Ruan Chuxia immediately reached out to stop Wang Huapeng's bottle of wine.
"Brother Wang, don't pour him any more wine. Zhiyu just recovered from his injury not long ago and can't drink alcohol yet."
Seeing that Wang Huapeng was still hesitant, he wanted to continue urging him to drink.
Ruan Chuxia added another sentence immediately afterwards.
"Not only him, both of you should not drink recently."
She didn't specify why the medicine couldn't be taken.
But Cheng Meifang understood the trick as soon as she heard it, and quickly pulled her husband Wang Huapeng's sleeve gently.
After all, her body had only just recovered a little.
If you really indulge in your appetite and drink something wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wang Huapeng looked at his wife's eyes, then listened to Ruan Chuxia's words, and said with a smile, "Since Xiao Ruan has said so, then let's do as you wish. Let's have a good meal today."
He changed the subject and said, "Try this plate of pig intestines. Xiao Ruan made it himself! It smells delicious!"
Xiao Zhiyu usually looks like a carefree and unconcerned person.
In fact, he is quite particular about food taste.
I have never been particularly interested in some offal ingredients.
He always felt that this kind of thing had a strong fishy smell and a pungent smell.
However, looking at the expectation on Ruan Chuxia's face across the table, he really couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly picked up a bite of the dish and put it in the bowl.
Then he quickly put it into his mouth.
Huh?
strangeness……
Why doesn’t it have that taste?
He was slightly stunned, then chewed it a few more times.
Huh...eh!
It's not fishy at all, but full of flavor.
There is also a hint of sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue.
It makes people want to eat a few more bites!
Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
"How could this be? Why didn't I realize before that this thing could be so delicious?"
“It’s not that this thing itself is so delicious.”
Wang Huapeng couldn't stop smiling.
"This is our brother-in-law's outstanding craftsmanship! Their skills are superb!"
His family used to eat pig intestines often.
But I've never made anything taste this delicious.
The eldest girl in their family had no time to talk. Her mouth was shiny from eating, with traces of juice and grease hanging from the corners of her mouth. She shouted happily while chewing.
"Mom, this pig intestine is delicious! It's even better than the one you made!!"
Faced with the child's unintentional frankness, Cheng Meifang not only did not feel aggrieved, but responded happily.
"My aunt's cooking is delicious!"
"Well, after eating this plate of large intestines cooked by Xiao Ruan, I feel like I've been cooking for nothing all these years."
As she chewed the large intestine, she couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Huapeng's mother picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, a complicated expression on her face.
Sudden-
There were several rapid knocks on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Several people put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and looked at each other in confusion.
It’s already this late, who is it?
It's so late and there are still people coming to the door, and they are making quite a noise.
The person outside was knocking on the door without stopping for a moment.
Seeing this, Cheng Meifang frowned, stood up and walked towards the door.
She stopped in front of the door and called out in a questioning tone, "Who is it?"
She just opened the door a little, wanting to confirm who was coming, but she didn't expect someone to suddenly push the door open with force.
The huge force caused the door to suddenly open.
Cheng Meifang was caught off guard and staggered, her back falling heavily against the wall.
The pain made her cry out "Ouch".
Wang Huapeng, who was standing by the table, immediately rushed forward to support his wife.
While carefully soothing the area on her back where she was hit, he raised his head and looked at the person who suddenly broke in. His brows were knitted together and his face became gloomy.
"Mom and Dad, why did you come here suddenly?"
As Wang Huapeng spoke, he reluctantly moved aside and motioned his parents to come in.
Xie Daqiang walked into the house without any hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Jingying followed him into the room.
"You guys don't even go home for the Spring Festival!"
Xie Daqiang asked coldly.
"If we don't come here again, are you really going to forget your last name is Xie?"
Then he angrily accused her, "You said you couldn't come back because you had no money, and then you're just at home enjoying yourself, eating meat and drinking wine! You seem to be living a very comfortable life!"
"Why are you scolding him?"
Hu Jingying then pushed Xie Daqiang.
She glared at Cheng Meifang, who stood nervously by the side, and angrily rebuked her. "I think this girl must have been behind this!"
After saying this, she walked straight to the dining table without caring that there were outsiders present.
Coming to the table, she grabbed a piece of steaming meat and stuffed it roughly into her mouth.
"It's not a festival, why are we eating such a sumptuous meal?"
Her voice was accusatory and her tone was aggressive.
"You keep complaining about being poor, but you're actually doing pretty well in secret!"
Even though he was still biting meat in his mouth, his speech was unclear.
But everyone understood the meaning of her words.
That was questioning why Cheng Meifang's family pretended to be poor and deceived others, but actually ate better than anyone else in private.
Faced with Hu Jingying's sudden and extraordinary behavior.
As guests present, Ruan Chuxia and Xiao Zhiyu were inevitably at a loss.
The two exchanged glances.
Xiaojun was also startled by the sudden noise and took a few steps back timidly.
Finally, he hid in Ruan Chuxia's arms.
Just as they were thinking of what excuse to make to leave, Hu Jingying's voice exploded in the room again.
"Shameless! Haven't I told you several times? Big Girl and Little Girl are still young, how can they sit at the table to eat? Why don't you listen to me? What's the point of girls eating that meat? No matter how beautiful or strong you are, you still have to get married!"
The older girl looked calm, still eating the rice in her bowl with her head down.
The younger Erniu was not so calm.
She was timid to begin with, and this shout frightened her so much that her eyes turned red, and she started sobbing.
Ruan Chuxia frowned slightly, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Hu Jingying's behavior.
However, she knew that this was someone else's family affair, and as an outsider, it was difficult for her to interfere and say anything.
Hu Jingying seemed not to have scolded enough and changed her tone.
"You have money to feed the children, but no money for me? Don't think I don't know your wishful thinking! We're not here for formalities today!"
She said this with a smug look on her face.
