Everyone knew that Mr. Zhou was joking, so he said with a smile, "We don't care about your younger generation. We just heard from Lao Li and Lao Lei that your godchildren cook delicious food and we'd regret it if we didn't come. So here we go."
"Of course. If we don't find a reason, we can't learn from Lao Lei and Lao Li."
Lao Lei: "Alright, I'm thick-skinned, I'll eat as much as I want."
Lao Li: “That’s right.”
Seeing the two men being so shameless, Old Master Zhou quickly said, "My family cooks delicious food, but it's also my family's. You better eat less later. Don't let my grandson get into trouble, or he won't let me in in the future."
"Haha..." A group of old comrades burst into laughter.
One of them said, "One sheep is indeed a little short. If you had told me yesterday, I would have insisted on getting another one."
"Okay, don't tire out Old Zhou's grandson."
“…”

There were so many people that we ended up splitting into two tables.
Looking at the table full of dishes, the group of old men felt relieved. They didn't mind whether they were full or not, but they were afraid that people didn't prepare enough dishes, and that their arrival would cause trouble and embarrassment to others.
Now, it seems that the grilled fish alone is enough to keep them drinking, not to mention the mutton hot pot filled with large bones and the barbecued meat platter.
"This scallion tofu is delicious!" An old man was curious about the dish in front of him. "Is the vegetable market open today?"
"I don't think so?"
Grandpa Zhou was full of pride: "Old Zhang, I know you love tofu. You can try it today. The tofu and bean curd sheets on the table today were made by my grandson and god-grandson last night."
"Really? Do they have this skill?"
"That's right. Last night, I ate a big bowl of tofu with scallions. It's all just empty talk. Everyone, hurry up and try it."
"We have to try it." A group of old comrades said as they started eating tofu. Not to mention the tenderness and smoothness of the tofu, it was simply amazing. Because of the vinegar, it left a lingering fragrance in the mouth and instantly whetted the appetite.
"Good, not bad!"
“This is the best mixed tofu I’ve ever had.”
"Come on, there are other dishes. This grilled fish is the first time I've seen it, so everyone should try it." Grandpa Zhou said as he was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He was then conquered by the crispy outside and tender inside of the grilled fish.
After eating it, the other old men also said that they had to have a drink to match the dish.
Next came the lamb tripe buns. It wasn't like no one had ever tried this, but it was different from Xiao Yu's modern version of the large piece of meat, so the taste was naturally different.
Afterwards, there were grilled lamb sausages, grilled lamb trotters, grilled tofu, and grilled potato chips, which really made the group of old men feel that their trip was worthwhile.

In the dining room of the east wing, the children's table was bustling with activity. Both the roast chicken and the grilled fish were different from what they usually ate. After trying them, they were all very enthusiastic.
The children who were too young to reach the dishes, with the help of Xiao Yu, two young people and Xiao Liu, simply held the barbecue and stewed bones to gnaw on.
"It's time to eat!" A voice suddenly sounded at the door.
The young people and children who were busy in the east wing looked up and saw Lei Xiangqian, Long Xunhai and a female comrade standing at the door.
Xiao Yu (⊙o⊙)…: Oh my god, why are the male and female protagonists here?
Is this the legendary "too much joy leads to sorrow"?
As cannon fodder, he really didn't want to be in the same space with the male and female protagonists. That would easily make him worry about being cannon fodder.
While Xiao Yu was stunned, Lei Xiangqian had already walked into the room, picked up one of the little boys, and placed him on his lap.
"Uncle." The little boy was gnawing on grilled chicken wings. The sweet taste made him unable to resist.
Lei stepped forward and sniffed: "It's roasted with honey! Is it delicious?"
"Delicious." The little boy nodded in agreement. The next second, the other piece of chicken in his bowl went into his uncle's mouth.
Lei Xiangqian: "Yeah, it's delicious."
Little boy: (⊙o⊙)…o(╥﹏╥)o! He wants to tell grandpa that his uncle stole his food.
