Huang Wanzhen leaned against the railing and yelled, "Hey! Don't go! I've practiced and my aim is excellent. I will never let you and your young lady suffer a second time!"
Huang Wanzhen was answered by the sound of chaotic footsteps and doors opening and closing. Huang Wanzhen curled her lips and muttered softly, "Don't think that just because you're small, the whole world has to give in to you. Everyone is their mother's little princess!"
The little princess Huang Wanzhen put the gun back on her waist and went back to her room to sleep.
Huang Dongshi had been eating steak for three days straight, and she was constipated. She rubbed her stomach, frowned at the steak in front of her, and sighed, "If I tell Xiuzhu that one day I couldn't eat steak when it was placed in front of me, she would definitely think I was throwing a tantrum again."
After Zhenzhen got on board, for the first time, she didn't follow her grandmother's order for steak. Instead, she ordered a bowl of dumplings in sour soup. After taking a sip of the soup, she sighed comfortably, "Grandma, we are from the north, so we still have to eat noodles!"
Mrs. Huang gave her a look of disdain. "How can you be considered a northerner? You went to Shanghai not long after you were born."
Zhenzhen held up the spoon and asked with wide eyes, "So I'm from Shanghai?"
Mrs. Huang thought about it and shook her head, "Not really. Maybe the people in Shanghai don't welcome you either."
Huang Wanzhen quickly put down the oyster soup and said to Huang Dongshi, "Mother, you can't teach your child like this. This is wrong, and that is wrong. You will confuse her mind."
Huang Wanzhen patted Zhenzhen's little head and said, "You were originally from Beijing, but later moved to Shanghai. Your aunt moved your household registration to Shanghai. When you arrive in the United States, your aunt will get you a new one. You must study hard, and it would be best if you could get a doctorate. Then you can shine in the field you love. That way, you can become a native of wherever you want to be, and no one will ever contradict you like Grandma did."
Zhenzhen nodded seriously, "Well, I want to be a northerner now. I like these sour soup dumplings."
Huang Wanzhen smiled and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that Huang Wanzhen was educating the child, Mrs. Huang did not interrupt and ordered fruits, vegetables and soup again. Her stomach really could not hold any more steak.
Among the few people, only Zhao Dahua was still eating steak, and she ate two servings at a time.
The people who came and went in this restaurant were all people of status. Zhao Dahua ate meat plate after plate and felt a little embarrassed because she felt that everyone was looking at her.
When she first came to this restaurant, Zhao Dahua was only amazed at the fact that the beef here was free, and she didn't have much other feeling. After all, the old lady and the young lady also ate steak.
She had been craving meat since she was a child, but her family was poor, so she could only eat meat once during the Chinese New Year, and most of it went into the stomachs of the men in the family. So she had never enjoyed eating meat so much in her life, especially beef.
Beef was a rare commodity, impossible to buy even in her hometown. Even in Peking, beef was hard to come by. Huang Wanzhen loved it, but she would only occasionally buy a piece from a foreigner's shop. Everything in the foreigner's shop was expensive; a piece of beef cost two yuan, and Zhao Dahua was absolutely reluctant to buy it for herself.
So at this time, Zhao Dahua was very conflicted. She didn't want to give up eating steak, but she was also afraid that others would look down on the Huang family because of her.
Huang Wanzhen saw it and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel sick in your stomach?"
Zhao Dahua shook her head. "I eat steak every meal, and I eat several pieces at a time. My stomach is fine, but I'm just worried about what people will say. Mr. Huang, why don't I go eat at another table?"
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand nonchalantly, "Why should I care about others? We don't steal or rob, so just eat peacefully. I envy your appetite. I love steak, but I can't eat much these days."
Then, she glanced at everyone and said, "Order whatever you want, but one thing: order only as much as you want. Don't leave any." When she saw the steak next to Mrs. Huang, Huang Wanzhen paused and said, "It's okay to leave some, but don't leave too much. If you don't want to eat your portion of steak, don't hoard it. Ask Dachui and Dahua if they can help you eat it."
Dahua looked up and said, "I'll help my wife eat. I won't go get the fruits and vegetables."
Huang Wanzhen disagreed. "How about this? We'll each have half. You go get some fruits and vegetables. It's good to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Otherwise, it's easy to get scurvy on the ship."
Zhao Dahua nodded hurriedly and obediently went to get the fruits and vegetables. Huang Wanzhen stood up and took Huang Dongshi's steak. She cut the steak into two halves with a knife, put half on her own plate, and put the rest on Zhao Dahua's plate.
Huang Wanzhen looked at Huang Dongshi seriously and taught her, "Food is so precious in China now. Even though it's free here, you can't waste it. Next time, remember to order only as much as you can eat. Don't be too greedy."
Among this group of people, except for the three generations of the Huang family, everyone else had gone hungry and never had anything left. Huang Wanzhen had received a good education and rarely had anything left. The only ones who had anything left were Huang Dongshi and Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen was better, maybe there were just some leftovers that she didn't like to eat. Huang Dongshi was the type who wanted to eat everything, but just to taste it. A few days ago, she asked Huang Wanzhen to share the leftovers with everyone. Unexpectedly, she really wouldn't change even if she wasn't told. Her self-righteous look made Huang Wanzhen frown.
Mrs. Huang looked at her daughter unconvincedly, "What's the big deal? Look at the other tables, there's so much left. You can't do this. People will look down on us and think we're too low-class to afford food. When your grandfather was still an official, there was nothing left on the Huang family's dining table. With so many dishes, how could we finish them all?"
Huang Wanzhen folded her arms and sneered, "No wonder the Huang family has such a prodigal son! I don't care about others, I only care about my own people. If you want to eat at the same table with us, you have to learn from us and leave no rice or soup."
Huang Dong was shocked by her daughter's expression. She knew she was angry, but she also felt that it was very embarrassing for her to say that in front of so many people. She muttered, "You are not like our Huang family at all. It's like when I was hungry when you were a child."
No matter how much Huang Dongshi complained, Huang Wanzhen refused to give in. After all, she was now the one who had the final say in the Huang family, and she was the one who set the family traditions. If they didn't follow the rules, they could leave, and she wouldn't stop them.
Within a few days, the Huang family became famous in the first-class cabin.
Some say this family is extraordinary, as everyone from the youngest to the oldest can order food in English. Others say this family is ignorant and petty, eating like poor people, leaving nothing at the bottom of their plates.
You should know that in Chinese civilization, people with wealth and status would not eat the bottom of their plates. Those were given as rewards to their servants and were called "Fudi". They were proud to think that it was a blessing for their servants to be able to eat the bottom of their plates.
However, Huang Wanzhen was very busy and had no time to care what others said.
