Chapter 209: Engagement Dinner (1) (1/2)

A large soup bowl held the braised pork, so Gu Jinye just carried that.

Gu Qingyao gave the second platter of braised fish to Fourth Older Brother, Gu Jinfeng.

Gu Jinfeng stared at the braised fish in this hand. “This fish… is so large!”

Gu Jinlin glanced at it. He puffed out his chest and looked nonchalant. He calmly took the next bowl that Gu Qingyao handed him, which was a braised rabbit.

The rabbit meat had been braised with potatoes. She had added plenty of oil so it glistened and looked extremely tasty.

While Gu Jinye and Gu Jinye were still stunned, Gu Jinlin proudly arched his neck and led the way by bringing the large soup bowl out.

Gu Jinye: “…”

Gu Jinfeng: “…”

The two of them had yet to move. Then they saw their younger cousin bring out another two dishes of stir-fried sausages. She had fried them with red chili and garlic. The colors were bright and appetizing.

There were many people having dinner today because the entire family was gathered together. There were so many men and four children with particularly large appetites. So Gu Qingyao had prepared an abundance of food. There were plenty of stir-fried sausages. The portion was so large that they occupied two plates.

When all the food had been brought to the main hall, Gu Yunjing, Gu Yundong and the others came out to eat. Eldest Uncle’s situation was precarious and he had not been back for a long time, so they had remained together to talk and analyze the future.

They only emerged when the children called them to eat. They were shocked when they saw the two tables laden with food!

There were many people present today – a dozen adults and children in all. They could not all fit around the table, so they put two small tables together.

The staples were some sorghum bread and rye buns that were usually steamed during the new year. She had also made several large cornmeal pancakes. They were all placed in a large basin on the table.
