In the evening, the family ate around the table. The wide and long table was full in an instant. Mr. kesma was very happy. The family had not been so busy for a long time.
In fact, he also misses his children very much, but the old man is unwilling to say it because of his "strict father", and his dignity and pride do not allow him to become an ordinary old man.
He''s really happy today, so he''s going to say something.
The people sitting at the table were looking at him. He looked thoughtful. Then he raised his glass and opened his mouth. Everyone began to concentrate.
This situation lasted for two or three seconds. Mr. kesma banged his mouth and said, "eat."
The restaurant suddenly came to life and people began to eat. Regardless of the embarrassment on Mr. kesma''s face, today''s meal was very rich.
At least one roast beef rib and one roast sheep rib, plus some chickens, ducks and geese, can be said to be very rich.
It''s far from the sea, and no one in the town is willing to spend a lot of money on expensive seafood, so these things can''t be seen on the table. In addition, most things can appear on this table.
Including those flying in the sky.
"It tastes good. Mom''s cooking is getting better and better," said Du Lin, holding a cow rib in his hand.
In City restaurants, such ingredients are often cut into small pieces and then provided to all diners at a very expensive price.
But in rural areas, these things are always made according to the unit of "fan". People are used to the pleasure of grasping a whole cow rib and biting it.
This has nothing to do with having money or not. Even in the poorest time of the past decade, alfalfa town and most farmers will have several cows, some sheep, and maybe some chickens, ducks and geese.
It seems that when the social economy is not developed, you will enjoy a better life in the countryside. This sentence is not completely correct.
In the past, durin was often able to eat delicious food. Occasionally, when a cow was slaughtered in the town, everyone could get some - exchange other things for beef from the slaughtering family. This method was once very popular in the past.
There are also stolen eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, including some bird eggs.
Sometimes the three brothers will go to the nearby river to get some shrimp. They don''t eat fish, nor do the people in the town. Those fish have too many thorns and are not suitable for the eating habits of the imperial people.
Such a "rich" diet is a crime for city people. You know, for a long time, the poor people living in the city sometimes can''t afford wheat kernels, but in rural areas, crops such as wheat kernels can basically be eaten without limits.
So is it better to live in the countryside? In fact, it is not. In the special environment of a special period, rural self-sufficiency can maintain a relatively full life, but they have no money.
When Dooling left alfalfa Town, Mr. kesma''s total cash was only dozens of yuan. We can see that we were still very poor at that time.
They can''t get more abundant materials by purchasing to meet their consumption needs. At this point, Shangcheng people are just the opposite.
Work allows them to get cash, and they can consume according to their income and preferences. The colorful urban society and a wide range of shelves are the scenic spots that can never be seen in rural areas at that time!
Many rural people save money for one or two years in order to go shopping in the city one day.
People outside the golden cage will never know the crowding and the pain of losing their freedom in the golden cage. Their attention is completely focused on the gold cage.
People living in golden cages never know how terrible the outside world is. They only see freedom.
Fortunately, society is always progressive. After a long wait, the empire finally ushered in a new opportunity, finally rose to the top of the world and became the world''s leading power, which also makes life easier for everyone from the city to the countryside.
Durin praised the delicious roast beef ribs. Kinsel laughed. She wiped her mouth with a napkin. It seemed that she had returned to her home in the countryside. She didn''t have to worry about the reporters outside the door. Her actions became rude.
"Sorry, I did that..." kinsel lit a lady''s cigarette. "I have to thank you for your praise. This is the best gift I received today."
Durin shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said to Mrs. kesma, "just think I''m praising you, so I don''t need to find another way to praise you, madam."
Mrs. kesma smiled and distributed the meat scraps on the plate to little Mr. kesma and little Mr. kesma. She glanced at kinsel, looked at Turin, and said with a smile, "your sister is still a woman suitable for being a housewife. Her dishes are much better than mine."
Kinsel was a little embarrassed. He blushed rarely. Turin asked strangely, "I didn''t know you could smoke now."
Kinsel sighed, then snuffed out the cigarette he had just smoked and threw it out of the window. "The character needs it, and you know, sometimes... That''s it."
Turin nodded and didn''t speak. He didn''t dislike smoking. Except that the smell in the room was not very good, the cigarettes here were not as harmful as the cigarettes in his dream.
In addition to wasting money, it cannot interfere more with smokers, and recently it is said that many tobacco companies are studying a new cigarette that smells better and is more suitable for indoor smoking.
When Dolin looked back, she happened to see Ophelia struggling with the beef ribs that obviously exceeded the length of the plate. The knife and fork in her hand was not suitable for cutting the beef on the beef ribs, which made her not eat her mouth until now.
Besides Ophelia, Emil is the same. These two women are eating with civilized people. Unlike the owners of this house, they eat more casually.
The meat on the beef ribs is very smooth and energetic because of a diaphragm. It is not so easy to cut, which makes them sweat.
Du Lin picked it up directly, put the meat to her mouth, encouraged and said, "open your mouth and bite off a piece. You will find that the food you ate before is not as delicious as you think!"
Because the beef ribs are roasted as a whole, more gravy is locked in the beef. The slightly contracted meat pieces shrink in the middle along the ribs, and bone rods are exposed on both sides. From the gap between meat and bones, gravy drips out continuously, emitting a strong aroma.
Ophelia met Turin''s eyes. They looked at each other for a second or two. Then she resolutely opened her mouth and bit on the meat.
This is something she has never done before, especially at dinner.
Aristocrats have a lot of stress and requirements for meals. For example, the simplest ones can''t make the sound of collision between tableware, can''t expose the food and teeth in their mouth when opening their mouth, can''t speak in the process of chewing, and can''t talk to people around them when they haven''t cleaned their mouth and lips.
There are so many such rules that many people don''t have hair on their heads, but this is only the daily life of aristocrats. From the day they are sensible, they must abide by these rules.
Between the whip and shovel of punishment, they can quickly master what they should do.
When the white one cut into the meat with a trace of glistening teeth, Ophelia''s eyes widened, and there was a kind of foolishness and understanding.
She bites very fast and raises the palm of her right hand up against her jaw.
On the one hand, it is to catch the debris when tearing, but also to catch the delicious gravy.
She chewed for a long time before swallowing all the food in her mouth. Then she cleaned her lips and looked at Turin strangely. "I''ve never eaten such delicious barbecue. Has it used magic?"
At the moment when the teeth cut the diaphragm, the delicious gravy and the sauce penetrated out during the process of the meat being cut and squeezed by the teeth, completely detonating the taste buds.
The beef in the outermost layer has some strength and chewiness, but after removing that layer, the beef below becomes delicious and soft, much better than expected.
In particular, the feeling of a big bite of meat biting in the mouth is a kind of never experienced... Satisfaction!!
Dooling handed the ribs to her. "It will be more interesting to chew by yourself, and you can try other dishes. On our table, you don''t need to abide by those rigid dogmas. We are free."
He didn''t know where to poke Mr. kesma''s nerve. Mr. kesma suddenly raised his glass and shouted, "cheers to freedom!"
As the oldest and most authoritative male family principal on the table, at his initiative, everyone can only agree. The cup held high and the smell of alcohol made the atmosphere much hotter.
Atmosphere is very magical. The magic is that it can make people inexplicably fall into a certain emotion.
Ophelia, who had never been so presumptuous, was in a rising mood. She even took the initiative to drink with others.
There may be some problems with this behavior in the city, but it is in the countryside and surrounded by its own people. The atmosphere can''t be better. Even Mr. kesma has a smile on his face.
At this time, Ophelia suddenly felt something hidden under the table. The alcohol had paralyzed her reaction. She pulled hard, and then patted the thing in her hand on the table.
