“What the hell is it? Stop beating around the bush. Why are you like a lady?” Old Man Li couldn’t help but say.
Old Man Han briefly glanced at him and said, “Of course. Good things need to wait till the end. What’s the hurry?”
And so, he had the server bring out the food, not rushed or slow. Everyone looked at him suspiciously, but he didn’t say anything. They began to eat together, but Old Man Han didn’t eat much. He glanced at the small jar from time to time. Old Man Zhang quickly discovered this. He also peeked at the small jar. His speed at eating vegetables also decreased. What if it was food? If it was, then he should leave some room in his stomach.
Old Man Zhang wisely began to slow down his speed of eating, but he didn’t do it in a way that alerted the others.
Once everyone had eaten enough, Old Man Han asked the waiters to take away the rest of the dishes and to bring out a bowl of rice for each of them.
Old Man Liu looked at the rice in front of him, puzzled, and asked, “Why are you having the rice brought now instead of when we were eating earlier? There are no side dishes, so how can we eat this?”
“don’t worry. I guarantee you’ll be able to eat it.” Old Man Han smiled mysteriously, then brought out the small jar in front of him and carefully opened the lid. The fragrance instantly filled the private room.
“What’s this fragrance? It smells so good,” Old Man Li couldn’t help but ask.
Old Man Zhang smiled secretly. Sure enough, Old Man Han was hiding something good. Fortunately, he didn’t eat too much earlier.
In fact, Old Man Han thought of this method after thinking for a long time. He was worried that if he took it out from the start, the small jar of meat sauce wouldn’t be enough for these old men to share. But if he had them eat their fill first, when the meat sauce was brought out, they wouldn’t be able to eat much even if they wanted to. Their stomachs wouldn’t be able to hold it. Therefore, they wouldn’t eat too much of the meat sauce. He was very smart.
“It’s coming from the little jar,” Old Man Liu said. Everyone’s focus suddenly turned to the small jar.
“Old Man Han, you actually hid the goods. Why didn’t you bring it out earlier?” Old Man Li complained. It smelled so good, so it must be something good. If he knew earlier, he wouldn’t have eaten so much just now.
“Of course. Good stuff has to be saved for last,” Old Man Han said calmly. He then reluctantly dug out a spoonful of meat sauce and put it in Old Man Li’s bowl, then dug out another spoonful for Old Man Liu, then another for Old Man Zhang. Old Man Han felt like his heart was dripping with blood as he watched this.
“What is this? Meat sauce?” Old Man Li looked at the meat sauce in the bowl and was confused. The precious thing Old Man Han was hiding was actually meat sauce?
Old Man Zhang didn’t say anything. He tasted it first. His eyes suddenly lit up, but he still kept it hidden as he looked at Old Man Han. He didn’t say anything and continued to eat.
Old Man Liu and Old Man Li saw Old Man Zhang eat so energetically, so they also tried it. The result was as soon as they started, they couldn’t stop. The entire private room was filled with the sound of eating.
“It’s so delicious. Old Man Han, you have no insincere. You’re only taking this out now, and there’s only this small spoonful. There isn’t enough to eat. Give me another spoonful.” Old Man Li cleanly ate the meat sauce, leaving only the white rice.
Old Man Han’s eyebrows twitched and pretended he didn’t hear anything. His hand subconsciously hugged the small jar, lest he be robbed.
However, everyone here came from the military. Who wasn’t a general with great military achievements when they were younger? Even now, they weren’t inferior to the youngsters.
And so, under the siege of these old men with great combat effectiveness, Old Man Han was unable to keep the jar of meat sauce. It was divided amongst the three foodies. He even had to join the competition to try and eat a bit more.
“Hey, hey. Old Man Li, you’ve gone too far. You’ve already taken three spoonfuls,” Old Man Liu screamed.
“How can that be? Old Man Zhang is even more outrageous. He took four spoonfuls. No, I need to get another.” Old Man Li glanced at Old Man Zhang and immediately stretched out his claws toward the small jar.
“You bandits. This is mine. Leave some for me.” Old Man Han’s voice also joined in.
The guards standing at the door looked at each other with question marks hanging over their heads. If they weren’t certain that nobody had entered, they would have thought there was an enemy inside since there was fighting inside.
They were basically fighting inside. If this was seen by outsiders, nobody would think these four people, who’s ages added up to over 400, were old men. They were even more powerful than youngsters.
In the end, there was nothing left in the jar that once held the meat sauce. It was all scraped clean. They were almost tempted to even lick the jar. The four old men all slouched, their bellies bulging toward the sky. They didn’t look like soldiers at all.
If the guards entered at this moment, they would be surprised. They might even suspect they entered the wrong room. These were generals and marshals who would sit up straight even if they were exhausted, after all. But at this moment, they didn’t care about their image.
Old Man Han and the others were very happy. They were glad it was only them in the room. Everyone was the same, so nobody would laugh at the others. No one would leak this outside. But the sauce really was delicious. That was why everyone became like this.
“Old Man Han, you’re so insincere. You dare keep this delicious thing to yourself. Because you didn’t take it out earlier, I can’t even move now,” Old Man Li complained. He put his hand on his stomach and realized it was round..
It couldn’t be helped. They had already stuffed themselves with the dishes earlier, but now they ate another three bowls of rice because of the meat sauce. It was already good that nobody’s stomach burst open.
“You deserve it. Who told you to eat so much?” Old Man Han was also resentful.
At first, he thought they wouldn’t eat much and leave some meat sauce, but as a result, this group was like starving ghosts. They didn’t leave him any at all. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t have brought out the sauce to show off. Old Man Han regretted it.
“Old Man Han, where did you get this meat sauce from? I’ll buy a few jars as well.” Old Man Liu remembered the taste of the meat sauce, and it immediately lingered in his thoughts.
When Old Man Han heard this, he immediately got up and said proudly, “This can’t be bought. My granddaughter-in-law made it for me.”
“Your granddaughter-in-law? I’ve also eaten the dishes made by your eldest daughter-in-law. It wasn’t very good,” Old Man Zhang said. When he visited the Han residence before, it was Mother Han and Lin Yalan who cooked.
“It’s not the eldest’s wife, but the second’s,” Old Man Han corrected.
“Your second’s wife? I thought he wasn’t married yet?”
“Soon. He’s getting married soon. Then, I’ll be able to eat such delicious things every single day. That kid not only is good at making meat sauce, but his cooking is also first-class. The taste will make you feel like everything you’ve eaten in the past was no good,” Old Man Han said proudly. He didn’t want to stop praising.
The other people remembered the taste of the meat sauce just now. The meat sauce over rice was so delicious. If it was other dishes, wouldn’t it be even more delicious? Seeing Old Man Han act like that, he was definitely eating well.
The old men secretly gritted their teeth. It was obvious that Old Man Han didn’t come today to share food with them. His true purpose was to show off his granddaughter-in-law.
As if he thought it wasn’t enough, Old Man Han stuck another arrow at them and said, “The tea you drank during the new year, my granddaughter-in-law gave me some to show his filial piety.”
They all remembered their sad experience during the new year. At first, Old Man Luo had to show off, then they were struck again by Old Man Han.
Old Man Zhang & Old Man Liu & Old Man Li were all struck right in the heart!
Why wasn’t such a good child their grandson or granddaughter-in-law? Why did he have to be related to Old Man Luo and Old Man Han? Old Man Luo was so lucky to have such a good grandson, but how was Old Man Han so lucky as well?
This Old Man Han was too much. He actually let his grandson get engaged so early. They found out too late, or else they would have let their own grandson snatch this good child up. If this child became their granddaughter-in-law, then wouldn’t they be the one showing off right now?
The several old men were frustrated.
Looking at the annoyed expressions of his old comrades-in-laws, Old Man Han felt even more happy.
And when the other old men saw Old Man Han’s smug appearance, they became even angrier.
“What’s the big deal? Tomorrow, I’ll have my grandson find me an amazing granddaughter-in-law,” Old Man Li said with reluctance.
“Even if you find one, they won’t be as amazing as my granddaughter-in-law.” Old Man Han shook his head. He pretended to look regretful, but the smug expression on his face couldn’t be concealed, which made the others furious.
“They’ll definitely be better.” These old men started planning on how to get their bad grandsons to find a wife that was better than Luo Lingxing.
“Achoo!” Several top elites in various fields sneezed at the same time. They wondered who was thinking about them.
“Even if you really get a granddaughter-in-law, they won’t be able to compare to Luoluo. Can their acting compare to Luoluo’s? Can their calligraphy be as good as Luoluo’s? Will it be praised by Master Zhao? And most importantly, can their cooking be as delicious as Luoluo’s?”
Old Man Han asked these questions in succession, making the others grit their teeth. But they were helpless.
If it was just one point, then they really might be able to find someone better than Luo Lingxing. But to find someone great in everything, that was difficult.
Dammit. How was Old Man Han so lucky? How could such a powerful and amazing person be given to the Han family? It was too unfair. If they had met them earlier, Old Man Han wouldn’t have gotten this luck.
And so, his plan of showing off was a success. Old Man Han was finally able to feel refreshed after the new year’s incident.
And the old men who had to take this showing off were even more eager to find a good granddaughter-in-law. No matter what, they couldn’t be worse off than this shameless person.
As a result, the grandchildren of these old men were destined to have a hard time in the future.
Thank you for updating!!!!
Old Man Li, you actually hid the goods. Why didn’t you bring it out earlier?” Old Man Li complained.
Han?
Thank you!!!
