Moh Li and Ouyang exchanged glances and walked over, where a card game was in progress.
"Do you want to join us? We can teach you."
Moh Li sat down without a word, but Ouyang accepted immediately.
"Alright, let’s play together."
Ouyang thought, perhaps he could learn more about Bai Zhi from the conversation with these people. Wouldn’t that make her trust his sincerity even more?
"How about the loser answers a question?"
Ouyang blinked and looked at them.
"Sure, let’s see if you have what it takes."
They smiled as they continued to play cards. Hahaha...
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi and the others were systematically continuing.
Pearl Meatballs, stir-fried pork, Braised Pork Belly, Braised Pork Belly, Steamed Rice Flour Pork Ribs, Braised Pork Ribs, braised pork knuckle, Braised Pork Intestines, stir-fried liver, Stir-fried Liver and Kidney, Cold Mixed Pig Head, Cold Mixed Pig Ears, Cold Mixed Pig Heart.
Plus various stir-fried and hot dishes,
Two pigs were transformed into a 20-dish banquet under their hands, open for all villagers to enjoy two meals, with leftovers distributed to each household to bring home.
Thus, the feast continued, with the whole village showing up, ten people per table, spread across numerous tables.
The atmosphere and the taste are what make the banquet special. Aunt Wang, who had been preparing the banquet for over ten years, was known for her exceptional skills. Usually, she charged by the table, but today, it was free, all for the joy of the community.
In short, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was lively. By the time Ye Xiu and others arrived, Bai Zhi and her group had already sat down to rest.
Accompanying Ye Xiu were Nan Jin and Nan Xi.
Bai Yu and Bai Ye had gone to help serve dishes, and Ye Xiu walked over with Nan Jin and Nan Xi.
Ouyang and Moh Li also joined Bai Zhi and her group.
"Xingxing, I heard you were also there when the wild boar was found. Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Ye Xiu’s first concern was whether Bai Zhi was hurt.
"No, I just found Ouyang and Moh Li fallen into a trap. It was they who discovered it. Hello, Uncle Nan."
After speaking, Bai Zhi greeted Nan Jin, surprised that they had come even during the New Year.
"Hello, Bai Zhi. Hello, everyone. We came to see your mom today and brought some New Year goods. We didn’t expect to stumble upon this banquet. I remember Sister Wang’s banquets are exceptional."
Just as Nan Jin said this, Aunt Wang happened to walk by.
"Nan Jin, it’s you! Long time no see. How about spending the New Year in the village this year? Celebrating together is more festive. I heard the village chief is planning for us all to celebrate together. Tomorrow we’ll boil the pig’s head!"
Aunt Wang chuckled, familiar with Nan Jin. Back in the day, Nan Jin had spent several years in the village. Although many from those days never returned, Nan Jin did, bringing gifts for each household at one point.
This was one of the reasons why they had accepted Nan Xi so readily.
"That sounds great, I’ll go find the village chief right away. I’ll bring the New Year goods tomorrow."
Nan Jin agreed immediately without any hesitation.
He then turned to look at Ye Xiu.
"Ah Xiu, my daughter and I will celebrate the New Year with you. You won’t mind, will you? I’ve already cleaned up my old house."
Indeed, Nan Jin had a house in the village, located next to Bai Ming’s, abandoned after he had left long ago, only recently cleaned up for their return.
