The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 250 The Little Princess Attends the Feast!
Grandpa went inside the house; those of higher seniority would definitely receive special treatment.

Grandma was the same.

The dog didn't come along; it wouldn't be appropriate for too many people to come, so Xiao Ran put it in its cage.

The three little princesses quickly became friends with the other children.

It's not just older people who enjoy it; people their own age also seem to enjoy playing with the three little girls.

The three little princesses were generous and shared their snacks.

Even children in rural areas don't find snacks appealing these days.

But sharing it like this just feels different.

On the contrary, Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying didn't have any peers to play with.

Because we weren't familiar with each other, we felt a little embarrassed.

With Princess Yuzhang, Li Lizhi, added to the embarrassment, the others felt even more awkward.

Eating at banquets in the North is quite different from that in the South. In the North, people generally know each other and everyone eats together.

In Xiao Ran's hometown, banquets are served in a continuous stream, usually with only a few tables.

After one group finishes eating, clean up and move on to the next group.

Apart from the middle-aged and elderly people who drink and boast, everyone else actually eats very quickly.

The makeshift kitchen next door was bustling with activity.

Dishes were kept being served.

The little princess smelled it too, exclaiming, "It smells so good!"

"Is Sizi hungry?" Xiao Ran rubbed the little princess's head.

"Hehe~ a little bit~"

"Brother, I want to eat too. When can we eat?" Princess Chengyang asked.

"It should be soon!" Actually, Xiao Ran didn't know either.

There are also rules regarding the order of eating at banquets.

There is a steward for the banquet, and this person must have a certain prestige in the area and be able to speak with authority.

He was in charge of arranging everything, while the hosts mostly cooperated.

He was also responsible for announcing who was eating.

At a wedding banquet, the bride's family members who accompanied her to the wedding usually eat first, followed by distant relatives who live further away. After they finish eating, the guests from the surrounding village eat first, and finally the host family and those who helped out.

According to this algorithm, Xiao Ran and his group are considered to be from the village, so their priority is very low.

After everyone at the table finished eating, the person in charge of watching the table quickly tidied up the table, removed the food, and wiped the table clean.

Wait for the next table.

The person watching the table is responsible for not only helping to carry dishes from the serving tray, but also adding rice.

A warm-hearted person will always unexpectedly fill your bowl to the brim.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
This was something that left a deep impression on Xiao Ran.

The people watching the table were mostly young people around Xiao Ran's age, but Xiao Ran didn't live in the village and had never held that position.

Seeing the others come out one after another, the steward called out, telling Xiao Ran and the others that they could go eat.

The steward knew who had eaten and who hadn't.

It's not enough to just be able to speak effectively; you also need to be familiar with the people in the neighborhood.

This kind of person is well-connected and has many acquaintances.

"Dinner's ready!" Xiao Ran said, pulling the little princess along.

Ten people sat around a round table.

The head housekeeper was having a bit of a problem with the three little princesses' age.

Often, they aren't seated together; children of this age can eat with the adults.

Considering the special circumstances of these individuals, we'll leave it at that.

Several people sat down, making a total of seven.

Grandma from the other side also came over, along with Second Grandma and Great-Aunt.

"Long time no see! Xiao Ran and Xiao Ying have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize them," Second Grandma said with a smile.

"Second Grandma!" Xiao Ran called out.

"Xiao Ran has brought his wife back?" The great-aunt looked at Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.

This made Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang a little embarrassed.

“Grandma, no, this is a friend,” Xiao Ruoying explained.

The relationship between Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi cannot be discussed now. "What about the three children?" Second Grandma was also curious.

"Second Grandma, this is my younger sister," Li Lizhi explained with a smile.

While the group chatted, the dishes were served one after another.

There was a bottle of milk for each person on the table, along with two bottles of beer, a bottle of liquor, and a pack of cigarettes.

Surprisingly, the people at this table don't smoke or drink.

Xiao Ran had no intention of going along with these ideas; he felt embarrassed and thought it unnecessary.

"Seven meals~" The little princess looked at the dishes on the table.

They started by talking about peanuts, melon seeds, and candy, followed by cold dishes, and then gradually moved on to the more substantial dishes like chicken, duck, and fish.

For a long time, braised fish was a tough dish, placed in the middle.

When kids sit together, they really fight over things.

To make cleaning easier, disposable chopsticks and bowls are used, and they are thrown away after eating.

"Grandma, Second Grandma, you don't drink alcohol, let me serve you some rice!" the young man next to him asked.

"Okay!" Grandma smiled.

"Brother, serve rice to everyone, but three bowls are a little less," Xiao Ruoying called out.

"it is good!"

"What is this?" Princess Yuzhang picked up a white one.

"This is mixed candy, it's filled with peanuts, it's delicious." Xiao Ruoying reached out and grabbed a handful, giving them to the three little princesses.

Xiao Ran never expected to see something like this at a banquet in this day and age.

"Okay!" The little princess exclaimed with delight.

"Pack them all up, they're all for you three girls." The great-aunt handed the mixed candy in front of her to Xiao Ruoying.

The three elderly people had bad teeth and couldn't eat this stuff.

"Thank you, Grandma!" the little princess exclaimed.

"Oh my, this little girl is so lovely." The great-aunt was amused as well.

People who are cute and sweet-talking are just so endearing.

She didn't want the peanuts and melon seeds, but the little princess was quite satisfied with the candy.

Princess Yuzhang was pleasantly surprised to taste the food; it was even better than she had imagined.

The atmosphere here is quite different from that at home.

The table next to us was also full of children, and they were fighting fiercely over a lot of things.

Adults wouldn't fight over that, and kids would only fight over snacks and such.

Chickens, ducks, and fish are no longer particularly rare.

Many years ago, pork stew with vermicelli was a classic dish, but later others no longer cared about it. Xiao Ran still occasionally heard adults mention it.

Previously, during holidays and festivals, braised pork with vermicelli was a must-have at banquets, and it was extremely popular.

The toughest dish at the end is pork belly, which is quite fatty.

Rural people work hard and are therefore well-fed.

There are some now, but Li Lizhi looked at them and didn't dare to pick them up.

Because this dish is cut into very large pieces.

The square-shaped meat pie is 70% fat, with only a small portion being lean meat.

The little princess, however, ate with great relish.

The young man watching the table picked up a spoon and began to add rice to his bowl.

The three elderly people were of high seniority and advanced age, so they dared not joke around.

The jokes are usually made by people of the same generation or similar age.

This situation is basically nonexistent at this table.

Because Princess Li Lizhi was unfamiliar with the area and was not a local.

I asked each of them individually, and then the little princess got more rice.

"Oh my, the little girl is eating so deliciously!" The great-aunt kept watching the little princess.

"They're so obedient and easy to take care of, they're so well-behaved," Grandma said with a smile, her eyes revealing no trace of her affection for the three little princesses.

If I had to pick my favorite, it would definitely be the little princess.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang are both very good, but the little princess is even better.
