Fortunately, after trying each dish, there were no problems.
But this didn't put anyone at ease, because if it wasn't in the food, it must be somewhere else—the wine!
After all, all the men present will be drinking today.
It seemed only Tuanzi, sitting beside her, noticed her mother's unusual behavior. She glanced up casually and, sure enough, saw her mother's brows furrow noticeably, her bright eyes flicker, and then she quietly whispered in Ye Wanying's ear:
"Mom, what's wrong?" she asked.
Hearing her son's soft voice, Ye Wanying's frown disappeared, replaced by a smile. She even reached out and pinched her son's cheek.
"Honey, you have a fever today, so you can't eat too much. Mom will make you some porridge later."
Human nature is inherently selfish. Now that a problem has been discovered, it cannot be publicized at this time because it is not yet known who among those present might have a problem. If it is publicized, what if it happens to be that person with the problem?
Although the little one didn't understand what his mother meant, and although his tummy was still hungry, he obediently stopped eating.
The sisters-in-law were chatting enthusiastically when Ye Wanying suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, did you throw away the duck blood today?"
When entertaining guests at this time, chicken, duck, fish, and meat are indispensable, and they are all alive, unlike later on when the restaurant will clean these things for you.
“It’s here, it’s in the basin, how can we throw it away? That would be a waste of good stuff.”
Duck blood and chicken blood, once coagulated, are actually the same as pig blood, and even taste better.
People nowadays wouldn't waste such good things; they would try to keep whatever was edible.
The only thing that people couldn't accept was the pig offal. Mainly because people at that time didn't know how to clean pig offal, and they weren't willing to use so much salt and vinegar to soak it and remove the stench.
Ye Wanying suddenly asked this question because chicken blood, duck blood, or sheep blood can be administered to detoxify in the early stages of alkaloid poisoning.
Of course, few people know this method; it was told to me by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor from a family with a long tradition of medical practice.
So, this poison sounds scary, but its actual effects aren't that terrible!
"Okay, how about we have some drinks, ladies?" Ye Wanying said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the women paused for a moment, but a hint of desire flashed in their eyes. Finally, they looked at each other and said, "Um... if the men drink, it's not appropriate for us to drink too, is it?"
Ye Wanying laughed again: "What's wrong with that? Don't worry, it's all fruit wine, suitable for men, women, young and old."
Hearing what Ye Wanying said, the sisters-in-law seemed eager to try it: "Okay, let's have a little bit then, we're happy today."
"Okay, I'll just have a little."
Seeing that her sisters-in-law all agreed, Ye Wanying whispered a few words to her son. Then, the little guy ran to the next table, said something to his father, and half a bottle of fruit wine was in his hands.
"Mom, here you go."
Ye Wanying quickly accepted it: "Okay, thank you, darling."
When pouring the wine, Ye Wanying had already smelled it and taken a small sip.
Only after confirming there were no problems did they begin pouring wine for the sisters-in-law.
After pouring it out, I fell into deep thought. It wasn't in the food or the wine. Could it be that I was wrong?
