Chapter 103 The Guests Are All Full When

other families hold wedding banquets, the bride and groom rarely sit down to eat. They usually take a few bites in a hurry when the dishes are first served, and then they start to serve tea to each table one by one. By the time the tea is served, the guests have eaten most of their food.

At this time, the bride and groom are busy seeing off the guests.

Only after most of the guests had left did the bride and groom have time to sit down and eat.

As for the banquet hosted by the Deng family today, since Deng Shirong had left the best dishes for later, he specially reminded the guests, which made the guests slow down their eating speed and wait for the delicious dishes to be served.

So, after the bride and groom offered tea, they sat down to prepare for dinner, and no guest left early.

After Deng Shirong greeted the guests one by one, he and his eldest daughter walked to the table reserved for his family.

"Dad, you've worked hard today. Please sit down and eat. I've already served you the meal!" Zhang Xiuping helped her father-in-law adjust the distance of the stool, and then said with a smile on her face.

Deng Shirong waved his hand and smiled, "It's not hard. You've been busy for a long time. Hurry up and sit down to eat. We have to see you off later!"

Zhang Xiuping nodded, then sat upright and started to eat her first meal after marrying into the family with her husband's family.

Delicacies from land and sea have been famous throughout the world since ancient times. The three seafood dishes of flower crab, prawns and mudworms, cooked by Deng Shirong's superb cooking skills, are so delicious that people can't help but praise them after eating them, and even his own children are no exception.

"Dad, these mud worms taste amazing, fresh and refreshing. The cuisine of our country is amazing. Who would have thought that something that looks so disgusting could be cooked into such a delicious dish." Deng Yunheng praised while eating.

Deng Yunzhu said: "I think this spicy crab is more to my liking. The spiciness is just right, and the taste becomes more fragrant the more you chew it."

Deng Yunsong said: "I still like this pan-fried prawns. The shrimp meat is full and fragrant and sweet, and the taste is good. The more I eat, the more I want to eat."

Deng Yunzhen smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, which one do you think tastes good?"

Zhang Xiuping swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "They are all delicious. Dad's cooking skills are really amazing. Every dish he makes is delicious."

People who are good at cooking like to hear others praise their cooking. Even Deng Shirong, who has lived his or her life again, is no exception.

Hearing the praise from his children and eldest daughter-in-law, he was very happy and said, "If it's delicious, you can eat more. Sister Ping, from today on, we are a family. Don't be restrained. Eat whatever you want, understand?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Dad, I understand!"

…

"Hiccup..."

At the wedding guests' table, the fourth aunt of the Zhang family burped. Looking at the three dishes of spicy crab, pan-fried prawns and steamed mudworms that were swept away, she touched her stomach and smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally ate too much again. When I came here this time, I reminded myself several times not to eat too much like I did last time, but in the end I couldn't control my mouth!"

Aunt Zhang touched her round belly and said with a wry smile, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are not the only one who is full. I am full too. My father-in-law's cooking skills are really amazing. With such delicious food, who can control their mouth?"

Third aunt nodded and said, "Yes, the other dishes were already delicious, and these three seafood dishes are even more delicious. Even though my stomach is already full, I can't help but keep stuffing it into my mouth. Now my stomach hurts!"

The four brothers of the Zhang family were so angry that their throats were raised.

If they were just eating vegetables, they certainly wouldn't eat to this extent, but those three seafood dishes were rare dishes that went well with rice, especially the spicy crab and steamed mudworms, which tasted even better when eaten with rice. The four brothers just ate as much as they could.

Now, they were so full that they dared not even move. They felt that if they bent over, they would definitely vomit.

Most of the other people at the table were also full, and even if there were some who escaped, they were still very full.

In fact, it was not just this table, the situation was similar at other tables. At least eight out of ten guests were too full.

It is normal for this situation to occur. After all, most rural people in this era have a hard life, and it is normal not to eat meat once a month. Now this banquet not only has meat, but also high-end goods such as seafood. In addition, Deng Shirong’s cooking skills are excellent, and the food is delicious and the portion is large. Who here would not eat to their heart’s content?

Thus, a rare scene in the history of wedding banquets occurred, that is, the bride and groom both sat there and ate their fill, but not a single guest wanted to leave.

In order to hide their embarrassment, the guests all sat there and chatted about all sorts of things. After resting for more than ten or twenty minutes, the guests started to get up one after another to say goodbye to the host.

Then, the bride and groom, who had been preparing all the time, continued with their business and began to see off the guests.

In this era, there is no custom of packing up food at rural banquets.

The main reason was that there was no precedent. No one present had ever seen a banquet like the Deng family's with so many dishes. At many families' banquets, after the guests have had their fill, there is basically not much food left, and there is no room for packing up.

Deng Shirong wanted to ask relatives and friends to pack up the food and take it home. After all, with so much leftover food, his family probably wouldn't be able to finish it all in a month. And without a refrigerator to store it, it would be impossible to eat it all for a month.

However, although he meant well, the customs and habits of this era are different. Who knows if they will be happy if he asks them to pack up their leftovers?

So after much thought, Deng Shirong felt that he should not ask this question in front of ordinary relatives and friends. Instead, he could try to ask close relatives, such as his third sister's family and his deceased wife's two younger brothers, to pack up the food and take it back.

So Deng Shirong found his third sister and said, "Third sister, you, your brother-in-law, and the children should not leave in a hurry. I will tell you something after I see off the other guests."

Deng Shilan nodded and said, "Oh, I see. You go and get busy first!"

Deng Shirong went to see his two brothers-in-law and said the same thing.

After everything was arranged, Deng Shirong saw the guests off with his son and daughter-in-law.

As the number of guests on the man's side gradually decreased, the bride's guests were also leaving! "Xiuping, we'll go back first!"

"Pingmei, you live a good life here, we are leaving first!"

"Sister Ping, when you come back in three days, we'll have a good chat."

"Sister, let's go!"

“…”

In this era, brides are not too sad when they get married because they have relatives to see them off.

But when the relatives finish drinking and say goodbye to the bride, that is the saddest moment for the bride.

Just like now, seeing her relatives and best sisters saying goodbye to her, Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but shed tears.
