- ?
My father originally arranged for many people to wash the dishes by hand, so that there would not be too much time difference between batches. But unexpected changes made the work of the dishwashing people suddenly easier. Because there is a whole big table, except for the plates that have been poured out, there is nothing else. No one touched even one of the many chopsticks. It's a pity that the bowls piled up like a mountain were quickly cleared. The speed of the first batch of meals is so fast! It was done in the blink of an eye.
When it came to the second batch, an embarrassing situation appeared, because there were not many bowls left that my father had prepared. Originally, each person only needed one bowl, but now as long as those who come to the banquet, pick up two bowls and leave. Think about it, if such an unexpected situation arises, can the bowl prepared by father work?
In an emergency, my father made a decisive decision and allocated half of the people who were washing the dishes easily, and asked them to go to the market town as quickly as possible to buy a batch of dishes and come back. At that time, my father repeatedly emphasized that the speed must be fast.
The father, who had initially grasped the characteristics of this unusual banquet, told those who knew how to cook and serve (there was no family banquet at that time, and everything had to be coordinated by the father), and tried to serve all kinds of dishes on the table at one time. In order not to affect the speed of "eating", my father also asked for all the stools beside the table to be removed. Chopsticks are no longer on the table. Thus, the strangest banquet in our Murakami history began in a real sense. There are more than a dozen tables (it is not easy to gather so many tables and stools without a family banquet), only dishes are served, no bowls and chopsticks, no chairs and stools to sit on, and no one eats here.
The second batch is already different from the first batch. Due to the inexperience of the first batch, some people had to call again and again. Even so, there were still some who came late. But these people will undoubtedly suffer, because if they come late, the good things will be gone. All fish and meat were looted by the first comers.
Maybe now when it comes to big fish and big meat, you will feel greasy. However, in the mid-1980s, such a feeling would never appear. Because, at that time, people's living standards were generally not high. It is difficult to see Hun Xing throughout the year. On the one hand, it was because of the shortage of all kinds of commodities not long after the reform and opening up, and on the other hand, people were still relatively poor at that time, even if they had them, they could not afford them. In those days, even if guests came, they might not be willing to buy meat. What impressed me deeply was that when I was a child, when rare guests came, my mother made scrambled eggs with leeks the most. Even so, the eggs have to be saved for the guests, and we usually only eat leeks. When guests ask, we usually answer: I like to eat leeks. But half of what I said at the time was true, because at that time, I really thought that the leeks in scrambled eggs with leeks were delicious. There are guests coming, please put more oil. The leeks that have absorbed more oil taste much more fragrant than usual. At that time, there were many people who liked to eat fat meat. It's different from now. At that time, when people bought meat, they only picked fat. Because, who told people at that time that what they lacked most was oil and water?
Although, all kinds of dishes did not arrive on the table late, but the door was already crowded with people waiting. Now, those who have been liberated are those who called people to eat. Because the degree of consciousness of everyone was completely unexpected. There was no need to notify at all, and those people rushed over by running. The first batch of "over and over again" and "long overdue" phenomena have completely disappeared. Red and green hats swarmed from all directions. It was absolutely spectacular.
They are conscious, but the "dishes" seem to have changed their minds, and they have not been able to come to the table for a long time. In addition, all the stools around the table were removed, even if someone wanted to sit at the table and wait, there was nowhere to sit. You can't sit on the table shamelessly, can you? As a result, the swarming people could only stand outside the door and wait.
"What's the situation? Why hasn't the food been served yet?" Someone who was impatient with the wait asked inexplicably.
"Why, impatient?" The person next to him smiled wickedly, "I'm impatient, you can go back first!"
"Hmph, I'm not going to be fooled by you?" The impatient person obviously saw through the man's bad intentions, "I'm going back, are you trying to monopolize the fish?"
The person next to him only smiled awkwardly, but did not answer. It was clear that he had acquiesced to his bad intentions. As a result, the belief of the surrounding people waiting here became even stronger.
"I know why the food hasn't been served yet?"
"Why?" Many people asked in unison. Because this is the question that is of the greatest concern to everyone right now.
"Because there are no more bowls. Don't you know that the last group of people who ate almost took all the bowls?"
"I know! It's just that if there is no bowl, can't I serve food?" Someone asked suspiciously.
"Let me ask you, if the food is served now, would you just take the plate back? Don't you want the bowl? ???
"How is it possible? What's the use of having plates? I must take two bowls back!"
"Then it's over!" After glancing at the man, he replied angrily
"We just need to be optimistic. If the bowl arrives, it means that the banquet is about to begin."
"You are right! Hehe, to tell you the truth, our family has a division of labor this time!" The man suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth while smiling wickedly, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and secretly glanced at the person next to him. Only when he found that he didn't seem to pay attention to his words did he let out a sigh of relief.
Fool! Do you think I really don't understand what you mean? Unexpectedly, the untraceable person next to him felt great contempt for him. Hmph, if I didn't want to attract more people's attention, I would definitely ridicule you, a self-righteous guy!
Could it be that the people crowded around them really didn't understand the meaning of their two words? In fact, as long as you see the suddenly enlightened smiles on the faces of those people, the answer is self-evident
At that time, there were no cars, let alone electric tricycles, so it took a lot of time to come and go to the market town. But all the people gathered in my house were more patient than one. No one wants to go back first. Everyone is afraid that the best opportunity will be lost due to their own negligence. Although the first batch of seats started relatively early, after waiting for such a long time, it was already past three quarters in the afternoon. The hunger came in waves, plus there was simply nowhere to sit. This kind of waiting can be a bit difficult. But even so, no one is willing to leave first.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed one burst out "cheers" first. Immediately, such emotions spread rapidly like a plague. Amidst bursts of "cheers" from the crowd, the helpers who carried back the bowl of hope of the crowd with their burdens became heroes who returned in triumph.
