I Won't Use Your Family's Banquet Today
The manager next to him promoted:
"These are wild chickens raised in our own village. They roam the mountains all year round, so their flavor is naturally exceptionally delicious."
If you have a happy occasion in your family and want to hold a banquet, just let us know in advance at our village. We can prepare all the ingredients and make sure everything is perfect.
Many people reached out and took the menus that were handed to them.
Several young men from prominent families glanced through the menu and nodded in approval. "This menu looks good, and the dishes suit our family's tastes. We can order it when we need to take care of something."
"They're really quite nice, and the girls here are quite pretty too. How much do you sell them for?"
The manager's expression immediately changed, and he said, "These girls are all innocent and virtuous; naturally, they are not for sale."
The young masters from prominent families laughed loudly, "Pure and innocent, huh! What kind of pure and innocent young lady would come out in public like that? We've never seen one before."
"Goodness, these little vixens have such slender waists."
"That's really true!"
Zhou Mei, dressed in red, came out smiling and said, "They are all quite pretty, don't worry! My father has made all the arrangements. Everyone should have a great time tonight."
The young men from wealthy families winked and said, "Our sister-in-law is so good to us!"
"This is a small token of our brotherly affection; please accept it, sister-in-law!"
Zhou Mei quickly accepted the red envelope and said, "Thank you, please enjoy your meal."
As Zhou Wanwan ate, she overheard the whispers of the trees nearby, "The Zhou Family's behavior is quite unseemly; they actually set their sights on a girl from our mountain village."
"Spring and Autumn Annals dreaming! Aren't all these girls precious and wealthy? Do these guys even deserve them?"
"Don't worry! Which girl here doesn't know martial arts? I really want to see what happens to them!"
Zhou Wanwan sipped her watermelon juice and laughed. The most interesting place was indeed Zhou Family Village.
Every time, it's an eye-opener for her; I wonder what kind of funny situation she'll create today.
The others were still in a daze, eating and drinking.
Soon, many people were drunk, and the villagers were just about to leave.
Then Zhou Fuyu said:
"We plan to order another 100 tables of food tonight, the kind that costs ten taels of silver."
Zhou Wanwan, can you handle this?
Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "It seems that Third Uncle is really rich now. I'll prepare the banquet for you whenever you pay."
Zhou Fuyu looked at her and said:
"Don't talk about money all the time, it's so tacky."
We're all family, so you should prepare the banquet first, and then I'll pay you.
Zhou Wanwan turned to leave, Zhou Fuyu quickly said, "What do you mean by this? Do you agree or not?"
"Don't even think about eating! If you can't afford it, don't eat it. You're so old, have some self-respect!"
Zhou Fuyu's face turned ashen with rage. "You charge ten taels of silver per table? You're practically robbing me! I won't accept your banquet today!"
After saying that, he turned around and immediately sent someone to the town to book a banquet.
As evening fell, all the dishes arrived one after another.
Zhou Fuyu greeted everyone, "Have a good meal and drinks tonight."
Zhou Wanwan looked at the feast on the table and almost vomited. The stench from the food was so unbearable that most people wouldn't be able to smell it because it was masked by the spices.
But Zhou Wanwan has such a keen nose! She could tell right away.
Just as Zhou Fusheng was about to pick up his chopsticks, Zhou Wanwan said softly, "This meal is inedible. I'll have it changed!"
The trees nearby quickly understood Zhou Wanwan's meaning.
As it grew dark, they cleared away all the tables.
After changing to a similar table of food, Zhou Wanwan smelled the aroma and said:
"Home-cooked meals always taste the best!"
The dishes look almost identical to those at home, but the taste is vastly different.
Zhou Fuyu quickly urged, "Everyone, hurry up and eat! This meal costs ten taels of silver!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it was ten taels of silver:
"Let me see what this ten-tael silver feast is really like. You've seen it, haven't you?"
These are all sea fish! We've never eaten sea fish before!
"This meat is so tender, it melts in your mouth, it's so fresh you could swallow your tongue!"
"This dish is so exquisitely prepared! The presentation is beautiful, and the taste is absolutely amazing—it's even better than what you'd find in the big restaurants in the city!"
"Just by smelling this fragrance, I know it's no ordinary product. The ten taels of silver were well spent!"
Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely, praising it repeatedly.
After the group of scions of prominent families had been eating for a while, one of them suddenly frowned and said:
"This sea fish... it seems to have been sitting here for quite a while, hasn't it?"
The fishy smell is off; it also has a lingering, foul odor.
"Xiao Yuhan, I spent a thousand taels of silver today just to eat such a stinky meal?"
Xiao Yuhan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He looked at Zhou Mei beside him and said:
"Zhou Mei, what is your father doing?"
What are you up to by making my brother eat this stinky stuff?
Zhou Mei hurriedly said, "This is all Zhou Wanwan's fault from Black Wind Stronghold..."
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone exclaimed, "Ouch! Why does my stomach hurt so much?"
Although those young masters from noble families only ate a little bit, their stomachs began to ache slightly.
Who told them to be so spoiled?
"It hurts... it hurts so much! My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."
"Me too! Me too!"
"It hurts... Oh no, I can't hold it in anymore!"
A sudden commotion erupted around them. Zhou Wanwan patted her chest and said, "Luckily we ran fast enough to bring the table over here, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat!"
Zhou Qingchen suddenly felt that the roast chicken in the bowl didn't taste so good anymore:
"It's disgusting. I just took a look, wanting to see how it had gotten."
You wouldn't believe it, it was full of poop and pee, I almost threw up."
Old Madam Zhou sat in the chair, looking bewildered, and said:
"What on earth happened? How did it turn out like this?"
Oh dear! My old bones can't withstand such a fuss!
Old Man Zhou looked down at himself and said, "Let's go inside and wash up! Is there something wrong with this banquet?"
Qian Huihui sobbed uncontrollably, "How did my daughter's wedding banquet turn out like this?"
She kept searching for Zhou Wanwan, but couldn't find her after a long time.
Zhou Wanwan took a sip of milk tea and said, "It's so delicious, it tastes like Moli. I love Moli milk tea the most."
Then the Old Scholar Tree came over and said, "It's a complete mess over there. Those young masters from wealthy families are so exhausted that they've collapsed on the ground, not caring about their appearance."
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "This is going to be interesting."
The Old Scholar Tree sighed helplessly:
"Now the Zhou Family is blaming everything on you, saying that they only ended up like this because they ate your banquet."
Those young masters from powerful families are saying they want to settle scores with you!
