This time, the meal within the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe differed from earlier than.
Prior to now, after the meals was ready, everybody needed to wait, following the order of Divine Baby, the Shaman, the Eldest Senior Brother to take their meals in flip, after which eat.
However this time, 5 an identical meals parts have been instantly ready and positioned in 5 circles collectively.
Then everybody sat round collectively, holding their bowls and chopsticks, consuming collectively.
Han Cheng recommended this manner of consuming. When he mentioned it with the Shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother yesterday, they have been initially not very agreeable, considering that consuming like this is able to have an effect on the foundations.
After all, their authentic phrases weren’t like this, however they expressed that concept.
This made Han Cheng nod secretly. No matter whether or not they had a selected idea of guidelines and etiquette, they’d acknowledged the significance of guidelines. It simply sounded a bit awkward.
At that second, Han Cheng defined his ideas to them and stated that they’d solely eat like this at main festivals; normally, they’d observe the earlier technique. The Shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother agreed after listening to this, however they nonetheless had some uncertainty of their hearts, particularly the Shaman, who valued this stuff greater than the Eldest Senior Brother.
The Shaman’s anxious coronary heart did not settle till Han Cheng organized the seating for the meal.
“Let’s eat!”
Han Cheng knew what everybody was considering, so he did not waste time saying pointless phrases like “I’ve three factors to speak about this time, every level divided into a number of main factors and additional subdivided into a number of minor factors.” As a substitute, seeing that everybody had already taken their seats in response to the earlier association, he instantly introduced the meal’s begin.
Though consuming collectively like this was fully novel, the pace at which everybody began consuming was not sluggish in any respect. With Han Cheng’s command, the quite a few chopsticks that had lengthy been eagerly stretched in direction of the meals within the center, aiming for the targets the host had already set and returned totally loaded.
Instantly, the meals positioned there decreased visibly in amount.
It was virtually corresponding to the pace at which some individuals ate in later generations at banquets.
Seeing this scene, Han Cheng could not assist however smirk. He had certainly overestimated these guys’ resistance when confronted with scrumptious meals.
Nonetheless, there was loads of meals ready in the present day. Opening a retailer did not concern gluttons. Let’s have a look at how lengthy you possibly can keep this pace.
Han Cheng, leisurely nibbling on a hen wing, watched the scene unfold like a gust of wind sweeping away the clouds, considering like this.
As a result of this technique not solely differentiated the standing of the people but in addition, resulting from consuming collectively, invisibly introduced individuals nearer, making the tribe extra united.
A steadiness was discovered between standing, guidelines, and closeness, which have been considerably contradictory.
After all, the Shaman could not suppose so clearly. He solely vaguely felt a few of these issues and appreciated the advantages of this strategy.
He puzzled if they’d eat on this fully new method sooner or later.
From preliminary disagreement to half-hearted acceptance after which to finish settlement, the shaman’s ideas underwent a major transformation after experiencing the advantages of this technique firsthand.
Not many individuals within the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe thought as deeply about these issues as he did. The overwhelming majority of individuals have been completely intoxicated by the myriad of flavors and distinctive style of the meals, unable to extricate themselves.
They’d initially thought that the dried millet rice they used to eat was scrumptious sufficient, however now, after tasting the meals newly ready by Divine Baby, they realized how shallow their experiences have been
After the meal, most individuals within the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe nonetheless rubbed their stomachs, savoring the dream-like meals that Divine Baby referred to as the New 12 months’s Eve dinner.
They could not assist however marvel why they hadn’t celebrated the New 12 months earlier than.
Calling this meal the New 12 months’s Eve dinner wasn’t fully correct as a result of it wasn’t eaten at evening however within the afternoon.
There have been no electrical lights at evening, and plenty of issues have been inconvenient. Additionally, tonight, one other extra energetic and necessary exercise was to be carried outscaring away the New 12 months Monster!
After the luxurious meal and a brief relaxation, the lads started to depart the cave one after one other, getting ready to scare away the New 12 months Nian, a process they’d already achieved lots of preparation for.
This included getting ready firewood and checking the leather-based drums, amongst different duties.
Among the girls stayed contained in the cave to scrub up the remnants.
The Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe, which by no means left any meals behind, unexpectedly had lots of leftovers this time. It wasn’t that the meals wasn’t scrumptious, however there was simply an excessive amount of to complete.
The tribe had all the time cherished meals lots. One feminine primitive particular person carried a clear, washed pottery basin and poured the leftover scrumptious meals into it to reserve it for later consumption.
Han Cheng was additionally busy marking a number of isolation areas within the courtyard, particularly across the space the place dry inexperienced grass and the deer shed have been piled up. Fireplace could not be allowed close to there, and if these two locations caught hearth, it might be massive bother.
