In the evening, the family gathered around the table to eat, and the wide table was filled in an instant, and Mr. Kersma was very happy, because the house had not been so lively for a long time.

In fact, he also misses his children very much, but this old guy is reluctant to speak out because of his "strict father" performance, and his dignity and pride do not allow him to become an ordinary old man.

Today he was really happy, so he was going to say something.

Everyone sitting at the table looked at him, his face contemplative, then he raised his glass, opened his mouth, and everyone began to focus.

This went on for two or three seconds, and Mr. Kersma pouted, "Let's eat." ”

The dining room came alive in an instant, and people began to eat, and despite the slight embarrassment on Mr. Kersma's face, the meal was still very hearty.

At least one roast beef rib and one roast lamb rib, plus some chicken, duck and goose can be said to be very hearty.

It's a bit further from the sea, and no one in the town is willing to pay a fortune for the expensive seafood, so you won't see it on the table, but most of the other things can be on the table.

Including those that fly in the sky.

"It tastes good, and my mother's cooking skills are getting better and better. Duhrin clutched a cow rib in his hand.

In urban restaurants, such ingredients are often cut into tiny, tiny pieces and served to all diners at a very expensive price.

But in the countryside, these things have always been made in units such as "fans", and people have become accustomed to the pleasure of grabbing a whole cow rib and biting it.

It doesn't really have much to do with having money or not, even in the poorest years of the last decade or so, Alfalfa Town and most of the farmers would have a few cows, some sheep, and maybe some chickens, ducks and geese.

It seems that when the economy is not well developed, life in the countryside is not entirely true.

In the past, Doolin was often able to eat good food, and occasionally everyone could get a share of the slaughter of a cow in the town—exchanging something else for beef from the slaughtering family, which was very popular in the past.

There were also stolen eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, including some bird eggs.

Sometimes the three brothers would go to the nearby river to get some shrimp, but they didn't eat the fish, and the people in the town didn't eat it, because the fish had too many spines and were not suitable for the diet of the Empire.

Such a "hearty" recipe is a crime in the eyes of the city people, because for a long time, the poor people living in the city sometimes could not even afford to buy wheat kernels, but in the countryside, wheat kernels and other crops can be eaten in almost unlimited quantities.

So wouldn't it be better to go to the countryside, but in fact, it is not, the self-sufficiency in the countryside in the special environment of the special period can maintain a relatively full life, but they have no money.

From the fact that when Durin left Alfalfa Town, Mr. Kersma's cash added up to a few dozen dollars, and it can be seen that everyone was still very poor at that time.

They are unable to buy more supplies to meet their consumption needs, and the opposite is true for city dwellers.

Jobs allow them to earn cash, they can spend according to their income and preferences, and the colorful urban society and the dazzling shelves are a sight that the countryside will never see at the time!

Many rural people save up for a year or two just to be able to go to the city one day to buy things.

The people outside the golden cage never knew the crowding and the pain of losing their freedom in the golden cage, and their attention was entirely focused on the cage made of gold.

The people who live in the golden cage never know how terrible the outside world is, they only see freedom.

Fortunately, society is always progressive, and after a long wait, the empire finally ushered in a new opportunity, and finally rose to the top of the world, becoming the world's leading power, which also made the life of everyone from the city to the countryside better.

Durin praised the deliciousness of the roasted beef ribs, and Kinsale laughed as she wiped her mouth with a napkin, as if she had returned to her home in the country without worrying about the reporters outside the door, and her movements became rude.

"I'm sorry, that's the ...... I made," Kinsale lit a lady cigarette, "I have to thank you for the compliment, it's the best gift I've ever received today." ”

Durin shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Mrs. Kersma, "You think I'm complimenting you, so I don't need to find another way to praise you, ma'am." ”

Mrs. Kersma smiled and gave the meat crumbs on her plate to Mr. Quesma and little Mr. Kersma, and she looked at Kinsale, and then at Durin, and said with a smile, "Your sister is still a very good woman to be a housewife, and her cooking is already much better than mine." ”

Kinsale was a little embarrassed by this sentence, and his face blushed rarely, and Durin asked a little strangely, "I didn't know you could smoke now." ”

Kinsale sighed and casually snuffed out the cigarette he had just taken two puffs and threw it out the window, "The role needs, and you know, sometimes...... So be it. ”

Durin nodded and didn't speak, he didn't have any aversion to smoking, except that the smell in the room was not very good, the cigarettes here were not as harmful as the cigarettes in his dreams.

In addition to wasting money, it can't interfere more with smokers, and recently it has been said that many tobacco companies are working on a new type of cigarette that smells better and is more suitable for indoor smoking.

When Durin turned around, he happened to see Ophelia beside him struggling with a cow rib that was clearly longer than the length of the plate, and the knife and fork in her hand were not suitable for cutting the beef on the cow rib, which made her not eat until now.

In addition to Ophelia, Emile was the same, both women were eating in the same way as civilized people, unlike the masters of this house, who ate more casually.

The meat on the ribs of the cow is very slippery and strong because of the diaphragm, and it is not so easy to cut, which makes them all sweat.

Durin picked it up directly, put the meat to her mouth, and said encouragingly, "Open your mouth wide, and then bite into the next piece, and you will find that the ones you ate before are not as delicious as you imagined!"

Because the ribs are grilled whole, more of the gravy is locked in the beef, and the slightly shrunken pieces of meat are shrunk in the middle along the ribs, revealing the bone sticks on both sides, and from the gap between the meat and the bones, the juice is constantly dripping out, exuding a strong aroma.

Ophelia met Dorin's gaze, and the two looked at each other for a second or two, and then she resolutely opened her mouth wide and bit down on the flesh.

It was something she had never done before, especially when it came to meals.

The aristocracy has a lot of particulars and requirements when eating, such as the simplest ones, not to make the sound of the tableware colliding with each other, not to show the food and teeth in the mouth when opening, not to talk in the process of chewing, and not to talk to the people around ...... without cleaning the mouth and lips.

There are so many rules like these that many people don't get hair on their heads, but that's just the daily routine of the nobles, and they have to follow them from the day they become sensible.

Between the whip and the shovel for punishment, they quickly learned what they were supposed to do.

The moment the white teeth with a hint of gloss cut into the flesh, Ophelia's eyes widened, as if she had realized something.

She bites very quickly, and at the same time raises the palm of her right hand upwards against her chin.

On the one hand, it is to catch the crumbs when biting, and on the other hand, it is to catch the delicious gravy.

She chewed for a while before swallowing all the food in her mouth, then wiped her lips and looked at Durin incredulously, "I've never eaten such a delicious barbecue, does it use magic?"

When the teeth cut the diaphragm, the delicious gravy and the sauce that penetrated into it seeped out during the process of the meat being cut and squeezed by the teeth, completely detonating the taste buds.

The outermost layer of beef has some strength and chewiness, but when the layer is removed, the beef underneath becomes delicious and soft, and it tastes much better than expected.

In particular, the feeling of biting into the mouth with a large mouthful of meat is something that I have never experienced before...... Satisfaction!!

Durin put the rib in her hand, "It's more fun to nibble on your own, and you can try other dishes, you don't have to stick to those rigid dogmas at our table, we're free." ”

He didn't know where he poked Mr. Kersma's nerves, and Mr. Kersma suddenly raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers to freedom!"

As the oldest and most authoritative male head of the family at the table, everyone could only echo his initiative, and the glass raised high, and the smell of alcohol that began to emit made the atmosphere much more enthusiastic.

The atmosphere is a very magical thing, and the magic is that it can make people fall into a certain emotion inexplicably.

Ophelia, who had never been so presumptuous, was in such a high mood that she even began to drink with others.

Maybe there will be a little problem with this behavior in the city, but this is the country, and there are people all around, and the atmosphere couldn't be better, and even Mr. Kersma has a smile on his face.

At this moment, Ophelia suddenly touched what seemed to be hidden under the table, and the alcohol had numbed her reactions, and she tugged hard, and then slapped the thing in her hand on the table.
