"Chicken, fish, meat, shrimp, seafood, etc., rice and steamed buns as staples, two more pots for hot pot, and some barbecue too, that's about it."
Everyone, “???”
"You're still okay?"
Zhang Hongxia couldn't hold it anymore. Her family ranked behind the Ye family. Xiao Jian prepared such a sumptuous meal, so did she have to follow the same standard?
