Chapter 8573 Undercurrent at the dinner table (Part 1)
During the meal, because Yang Ruoqing was not a true local woman, she was relatively reserved about the dishes.
Especially for young girls like Yao Ying, Yang Ruoqing's persuasion was limited to verbal greetings.
But Wang Cuilian and Sun were different. They completely brought out the old habits of this area.
The two men, one holding serving chopsticks and the other holding a spoon, were standing next to the three girls. Not only were they talking about the dishes, but they were also doing it with their hands.
The big chicken legs were dragged into Yao Ying's bowl, the bean paste bones were stuffed into Yao Yue's bowl, and the meatballs and patties were piled onto the small plate in front of Huang Guier as if they were free.
The three girls, including Huang Guier, couldn't resist it.
Huang Guier said: "Grandma, Grandma Ga, you are too polite. I can't eat all the delicious food."
While Huang Guier was speaking, she glanced towards Dazhi from the corner of her eye.
Unfortunately, after Dazhi sat down to meditate, he poured wine with Blacksmith Luo, and then accompanied Blacksmith Luo to take a leisurely sip of wine.
"This meatball and meatloaf is our hometown dish. The outside is wrapped in sweet potato flour. I don't know if it is to your liking." Wang Cuilian greeted again with a smile.
Yao Ying took a bite, squinted her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's very delicious, with a delicate texture. It's better than any meatballs I've ever eaten before."
"As for the meat pie, this is really the first time I've had it, even though I've often heard my cousin Dazhi mention it before. It's really good."
Wang Cuilian smiled and looked at Dazhi again, her eyes filled with relief.
Dazhi also smiled faintly at Yao Yingna, "The food is delicious, but the workmanship is extremely complicated. Every year during the twelfth lunar month, my mother and my eldest grandma Gapo spend a lot of effort making these."
Yao Ying nodded and looked at Wang Cuilian and other elders again, with moved expressions in his eyes.
Huang Guier also chimed in and said, "The stuff that even Brother Da Zhi praises must be good! Brother Dazhi, you can eat it yourself, and Guier will pick up the vegetables for you."
But Dazhi raised his hand to cover his bowl and said to Huang Guier: "This is my home, you are a guest, I should take care of you."
After saying that, Dazhi raised his hand and picked up a red prawn.
Huang Guier's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously picked up the bowl to take it. At the same time, the corners of her mouth were already curled up in joy and excitement, and her eyes were flaunting towards sisters Yao Ying and Yao Yue.
However, her bowl was empty. Dazhi picked up the shrimp, walked around Huang Guier, and put it directly into Yao Ying's bowl.
"Cousin, the meatballs and patties are delicious, but the shrimps are equally delicious. They were raised in my grandfather's fish pond. You can try them again."
Although there was a hint of surprise in Yao Ying's eyes at Da Zhi's initiative to pick up the food, she immediately calmed down and raised her bowl to accept it gracefully.
And smiled and said: "Thank you cousin for picking up the food, I will try it."
Her white and clean fingers picked up the shrimp and gently peeled it from the tail.
Dazhi reminded again: "Cousin, this shrimp is slightly different from the sea shrimp we often eat in Yangzhou. It is easier to peel it from the head part."
Yao Ying nodded and peeled it off again according to Dazhi's instructions.
After a while, a whole piece of fresh and tender shrimp meat was peeled off. It was trembling in the hand and looked very tempting.
Yao Ying ate it in one bite, her eyes suddenly lit up and her face was full of surprise.
“So fresh and tender, this is the best shrimp I have ever eaten!”
Faced with Yao Ying's generous praise, Wang Cuilian and Sun smiled happily.
Yang Ruoqing was also smiling.
At this time, Yao Yue, who had finished chewing the soy bones, raised her head, her mouth full of oil, "I want to eat shrimps too!"
Yang Ruoqing used serving chopsticks to pick up a big one for Yao Yue and put it into the bowl, "Here, Yao Yue has a taste too."
Compared with Yao Ying's gentleness, Yao Yue's shrimp-peeling movements are a bit irritable and rough.
After unscrewing the shrimp head, peel it off a few times and put the shell directly into your mouth and chew it.
"Well, it's delicious. The meat is fatter and thicker than the Pipi shrimp I often eat." Yao Yue also praised vaguely while eating.
Her unpretentious expressions and movements naturally aroused laughter at the table.
Huang Guier sat nearby, looking at the empty plate in front of her, and watching sisters Yao Ying and Yao Yue eating and flattering her there, and secretly rolled her eyes.
Two sycophants!
"Guier, you can eat too, don't be polite, treat this place as your home."
Wang Cuilian came to greet Huang Guier again.
Huang Guier smiled perfunctorily at Wang Cuilian, but her heart felt sour.
Just then, she saw Dazhi raising his chopsticks and picking up the biggest shrimp.
Huang Guier took a deep breath immediately and subconsciously touched her own dishes with her fingers. Brother Dazhi should have picked them for me this time, right?
As a result, Dazhi placed the prawn on the empty plate in front of him. Then, he put on the disposable gloves next to him and began to peel the shrimp carefully.
"Hehe, who is brother Zhi'er peeling the shrimp for? If he peels it so carefully, it must be for me, right?" Yao Yue joked while eating, her big eyes blinking, quite a bit like a crocodile.
The cunningness of babies.
But Yao Yue is purely charming and lacks the sassiness of Luo Baobao.
Faced with Yao Yue's generous teasing, Dazhi was not embarrassed and said directly: "Sorry, this shrimp is not peeled for you."
"Tsk tsk..." Yao Yue uttered two exaggerated monosyllables, then immersed herself in eating the shrimps in her bowl.
Yao Ying pretended not to hear these conversations, and Wen Wen ate quietly.
Huang Guier's face turned red. She sat there suppressing her excitement and excitement, but her eyes were fixed on the prawns that Dazhi had peeled off half of.
Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal. Look, Brother Dazhi only sandwiched shrimps for you, but peeled out the meat of the shrimps for me. This treatment is different. It can be seen that the weight in Brother Dazhi’s mind is also different. Hum, later.
I envy you to death!
Soon, the shrimp in Dazhi's hand was peeled.
He picked up the shrimp meat with serving chopsticks and dipped it in a little bit of the sauce on the plate next to him. The shrimp meat suddenly became more attractive, and it made people salivate when holding it on the head of the chopsticks.
At this time, Huang Guier's proud and showy eyes swept uncontrollably towards sisters Yao Ying and Yao Yue.
Yao Ying still eats seriously
Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the table, Dazhi put the completely peeled shrimp directly into Luo Baobao's bowl.
Luo Baobao was immersed in fighting with the sauced duck legs in the bowl, and didn't pay attention to the 'undercurrent' outside.
Facing the shrimp that was 'airdropped' into his bowl, Luo Baobao looked confused.
"What's going on?" She raised her head and asked blankly.
Dazhi smiled and said: "Eat shrimp."
Luo Baobao understood that it was his brother who had stripped it for him to eat.
Joy suddenly bloomed like flowers on her face.
"Brother is so kind!"
Then she temporarily put down the sauced duck leg and stuffed the shrimp meat into her mouth in one gulp, her cheeks being filled to the brim.
