Chapter 110: Rural Banquet! Auntie knows martial arts!
"This girl's cooking skills are even better than those of a chef!"
"Isn't it that they specialize in killing chickens abroad?"
"Not at all. Judging from her temperament, she should be quite wealthy. Why would she kill a chicken?"
"Oh my, Xiao Chen's life is going to be tough in the future. If he dares to mess with his girlfriend, he'll die without knowing how!"
Listening to the discussions of his fellow villagers, Chen Lu also felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't think much of it at first, but when the villagers said this, the picture immediately came to his mind!
Imagine that he was sleeping, and when he opened his eyes drowsily, he found Anna standing at the head of the bed with a knife!
"Honey, are you awake? Then let's talk about your cheating, shall we?"
Chen Lu quickly shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind.
He was quite confident in this regard and would never let Anna hold a knife!
After killing the chicken, Anna found a faucet to wash her hands.
"Anna, why are you so skilled?" Chen Lu asked hurriedly.
"When I was a kid, my father would take our family to the mountains for some time during the holidays. That's when I learned how to kill chickens, as well as many other survival skills."
Well, that seems like something an emperor would do.
"My dear, you won't dislike me, will you?"
Anna pouted and shook Chen Lu's arm, instantly transforming into the obedient little girlfriend again. Where was the domineering attitude she had when she killed the chicken?
Chen Lu smiled and said, "How could that be? This is a good thing. I will let you slaughter the New Year pig when the time comes."
Anna patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me! But you have to come with me. The pigs are so strong, I can't handle it alone!"
Chen Lu said it casually, but he didn't expect Anna to take it seriously.
I can't afford it, I really can't afford it!
[Her Highness is truly a hidden genius, so terrifying! ]
[What should I do? I'm beginning to look forward to seeing Her Royal Highness slaughtering a pig! ]
[I suddenly feel a little sorry for this Chinese boy! ]
More and more people came. There were more than ten tables in the huge yard, and now they were almost full.
Rural people are still quite passionate about banquets.
It's not just because there are lots of delicious food at the banquet and you can have a big meal, but also because the banquet is a good time to build relationships.
Many relatives in rural areas live far away and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, so they usually only visit each other during the Chinese New Year.
These weddings and funerals undoubtedly provide them with a good opportunity to connect with each other.
"Brother Chen, you're here."
"You are so generous, kid. You set up so many tables?"
Zhao Ming walked over and greeted Chen Lu.
"Hey, it's my wife who insisted on doing it. I won't tell you about it for now. Please do as you please. I have a lot of things to do here."
"Just go and do your job, the groom, and don't worry about me."
Zhao Ming turned and left. On the wedding day, the groom must be the busiest person.
"Honey, is this China's wedding?"
Anna blinked her big eyes and looked around curiously.
In her opinion, although the environment here is not very good, the atmosphere is really good.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and they greeted each other and chatted about family matters.
Several grandmas also brought her drinks, they were really enthusiastic!
"Well... weddings in the village are pretty much like this. The whole village gets together for a banquet, and then there's some fun in the bridal chamber, and then the wedding is considered complete."
Chen Lu smiled and said, "But when I marry you, it will be much more grand than this. At least a hundred tables will be set up, and all the phoenix crowns, bridal robes and Chinese wedding dresses will be arranged. I will show you a traditional Chinese wedding!"
Anna's pretty face blushed slightly, and she leaned against Chen Lu tightly: "I'll listen to you." The two found a place to sit down and ate some snacks to fill their stomachs.
The villagers were very interested in Anna with her long white hair and started talking to her.
Anna responded with a smile. She really liked the atmosphere of the banquet.
It feels like everyone is very enthusiastic and as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
Just as Chen Lu said, there is no discrimination at all.
Except for one or two tables filled with men drinking, the rest were mixed with men and women, and women and children could all sit at the table to eat.
Soon, delicious dishes were served one by one.
There was a big pot on the ground, and the chef used it to cook.
Because the fire is strong enough, the dishes are cooked quickly.
A large pot can directly make more than a dozen dishes, which are then divided into small plates and served directly on the table.
The villagers who had nothing to do also went over to help, which made the process even faster.
As soon as they saw the food was out of the pot, the aunties who had been pulling Anna to ask questions immediately returned to their seats.
Anna felt very strange.
Why did you leave in the middle of a conversation?
Anyway, the food is there and you can't run away. Don't you even have time to say a word?
Chen Lu suppressed his smile: "They are going to grab the food."
"Grab the food?" Anna asked curiously, "What do you mean by grab the food? Aren't the dishes on every table the same?"
"You'll know just by looking at it."
The aunties at the table next to them all stood up, holding a small bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, staring at the chef eagerly.
As soon as a bowl of food was placed on the table, they bent down at lightning speed and quickly put the food into their own bowls!
In less than a second, the full plate was empty!
Anna was stunned, her mouth wide open in surprise: "This..."
[Such hand speed? It must have taken at least twenty years of hard practice! ]
[Are they performing magic? Making the food disappear in an instant?]
[What did I see? Chinese Kung Fu! This is real Chinese Kung Fu! ]
[Chinese aunts are really a magical group! Don’t mess with them! ]
Chen Lu smiled bitterly, he didn't know since when eating at a banquet became a matter of hand speed competition.
If your hands are not fast enough or you are not thick-skinned enough, I'm sorry, there is no chance for you at all!
Fortunately, he had the foresight to choose a table in advance, and the table was almost entirely occupied by young people.
Young people are thin-skinned, so there will be no scene of fighting over food.
Everyone will even be polite to each other and feel embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks!
As expected, as the dishes were served, no one rushed to grab them.
Steamed pork with rice flour, nine-turn large intestine, braised pork, stewed chicken, smoked bacon...
There is a table full of meat dishes, but you can’t find any green at all!
When hosting a big banquet in the countryside, the most important thing is to have lots of meat!
If you serve one or two vegetarian dishes, everyone will accept it and won’t say anything.
If you serve more vegetarian dishes than meat dishes, people will start to complain.
You charge so much for membership fees, and in the end you just serve a bunch of vegetables for people to eat?
Scrooge!
The dishes were almost all served, but the young people at the table were still looking at each other.
Finally, it was Chen Lu who spoke up: "Everyone, stop standing there and start eating."
