Those who came to tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve feast noticed early on that the whole night feast was very different from the previous feasts because of this way of eating.

In the past, banquets in the imperial capital have always been for the guests to sit in their own seats, and the waiters who shuttle between them will serve all kinds of food, and the participants only need to sit in their own seats and enjoy it.

But at the banquet held by the Ogma Academy, the way of eating was completely different. All the food is laid out in a circle of flat rings of tables connected from end to end. There was no waiter there, only a small paper card with the name of the food in the basin where the food was kept. Then there are smaller cutlery next to the tableware where the food is served, such as knives, forks, plates, etc., and the guests all come to get these utensils by themselves, and then serve the food and enjoy it.

In general, this method is completely self-contained, and you can eat whatever you like, especially at will.

The vast majority of young people who have been exposed to this method have fallen in love with its freedom. The aristocratic students, in particular, were conflicted in their hearts to despise the roughness of this style of behavior, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but like its unrestrainedness.

Imagine that when they attend a banquet in their own home, the people sitting next to them are always screened and considered by their parents at various levels, and then placed in the most suitable position for them, just themselves. This kind of screening consideration is 100% from the perspective of utilitarianism and profit, and does not take into account my preferences at all. Personal preferences are the least important things at this time, and the important things are other things.

The seating sequence of the whole banquet is very delicate, like a carefully planned arrangement. Therefore, the people sitting next to him are either the children of some other nobleman who have the necessary friendship, or the noble girls who have the necessary marriage. In this way, eating is no longer eating. It's an important way to socialize.

As a result of such an arrangement, the whole banquet is tense from the beginning to the end, how to show their etiquette, how to make the target feel good, how to talk, what to say, observe the other party's reaction and then give the correct response, these are the most important things, eating, eating, whether it tastes good or not. Premature degeneration became something completely unimportant.

Eating depends on the mood very much, can you eat well when you eat like that?

It's like that bad joke, two people who are involved in the banquet meet at the entrance, and they are more familiar, and the greeting is like this: have you eaten? How many mats have you eaten? It's really a cold joke.

Therefore, it can be exaggerated to describe that the banquet of the nobles is either a great contest of social etiquette, or a battle without gunpowder but equally fierce. In this big competition or battle, everyone is trying their best to get the most suitable benefits. Thus forgetting the most primitive function of the banquet - to bring some like-minded people together and have a happy meal.

In Ogma Academy, this new way of dining fundamentally solves the unpleasantness of the old way of dining. It has freedom of access, freedom of location, you can eat whatever you want, and you can be with whomever you want. By extension, you can talk about whatever you want, with the people you want to stay with. What's the scruple of talking? It makes people feel happy, and the food that Ogma Academy serves is not so good.

Strictly speaking, the food at Ogma Academy is indeed less elaborate than the food carefully crafted by the aristocratic class. The reason is that it was not Xu Zheng who provided the food, but the food provided by the Ogma Academy. It's not that Xu Zheng can't make good food, but he is only one person, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, so he can't provide so much food, and Principal Audrey doesn't like that the entire banquet held in his school is only done by his student Xu Zheng in the way of food, and finally the food before the main meal dumplings is provided by the school.

A civilian college. Both financial and material resources are limited, and the food provided is certainly far from being comparable to that of the luxurious aristocracy. Fortunately, it has changed the way it eats, and the end result is still very good. Anyone who knows how to enjoy knows that it is not just the food itself that determines the taste of food when eating, but many other factors. For example, the dining place, the people who participated. environment, mood, and more.

If you don't believe me, you can try sitting on the left with a pig on your stomach on the right, and everyone is chewing on the case, or you can jump over the wall with a bowl of Buddha and eat it in the pit.

This banquet of Ogma Academy is like this, it does not have the financial resources to change the quality of the food, but it has changed the way it eats, and the final result is still not bad.

Civilian students are certainly not picky. Not only are they not picky, but they are also very supportive, getting together in twos and threes, eating their favorite food, and talking about their favorite topics with their friends, the scene is very warm. The aristocratic students were very picky, and while they were picky about the taste of the food, they had to instinctively like this way of eating, and felt that even the stewed bean soup that was not very melty tasted good, which was really painful and joyful.

Moreover, this way of dining expands into new areas, and retains old ones. The old social function of the old banquet is still there, and if you want to hook up with someone, make friends, or have some purpose, you can go to him with your own plate. Further, when you meet the girl you want to pursue, wouldn't it be better for you to help her get food in a graceful manner than to wait for the waiter to come and add food, and you can only help her pull a chair from beginning to end?

Look, this is more convenient than before! In the past, at most one sat on the left and one on the right, but now, as long as you are willing to move your legs more, there are more people who want to connect with each other than one left and one right! More importantly, this form of atmosphere is very relaxed, and it is much easier to move over and have a conversation than before.

In this atmosphere, the new table with a long row of tables is even more noticeable when everyone sees it again.

The new table was not filled with new food, but with what it looked like the ingredients used to make it. I saw that on the long dining table, there were large basins of minced meat, mixed flour dough, and round wooden sticks that were long and slightly thin at both ends, and slightly thick in the middle, like a simple spindle. Then there are the pots that are also lined up with more than a dozen mouthfuls of hot boiling water, looking at the appearance and volume, it is actually the kind of big guy who often prepares food for many people at the same time in the army or mercenaries.

The civilian participants were at a loss, what was the use of these things? Do you make food for live performances? Standing far away, they could already smell the strange fragrance coming from the basin, which they had never smelled before, and it seemed to be good. The aristocratic participants showed contempt again, such a crude thing, and they also planned to make it out for the nobles to eat?

Principal Audrey didn't care so much, stood on the makeshift podium with a smile, and said: "The key point of tonight, the dumpling banquet has officially begun, please enjoy it!" After saying this, she pulled her gray hair and said a witty word: "Please believe me, the principal, this thing is absolutely different from what everyone has eaten before." A final reminder: do it yourself, you have to find surprises you can't imagine. Finally, I wish everyone a happy meal and welcome the New Year in the most relaxed mood!" He bowed and left the stage.

What kind of rice is the dumpling feast? What are the dumplings? For a while, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, a question mark representing confusion appeared on his head.

Everyone's confusion didn't last long, and Xu Zheng walked out. He walked straight to the dining table, first took water and cleaned his hands, then raised his hands to dry them in the air, and said with a smile on his face: "Who plans to try it with me?"

As soon as the words fell, a crowd of people jumped out, and the bigwigs of the Plains Tavern, the Orson Manor, the Royal Samuel, the Ogma Academy, and the Warcraft Forest suddenly surrounded the entire dining table that was temporarily used as a board.

Not only that, everyone is still grabbing the position, and the collective is grabbing Xu Zheng's recent position, pushing and shoving is not lively. They had been waiting for a long time, and they were looking forward to making food by themselves, just waiting for Xu Zheng's words.

Bruce's eyes were quick, and he stood very high on the advantage of being the eldest prince, and when Xu Zheng's words fell, he had already stood on Xu Zheng's right side. Orson and Carlo were robbing Xu Zheng's left at the same time, and the force value of the magic sword ranger was there, and he pushed the mercenary Carlo out with a pout, and stood beside his son shamelessly.

Carlo smiled impatiently and walked to the side to stand with his sister Lucina. Lucy is Carlo to the left, Quincy is on the right, and the handsome and evil Uncle Mei is studying the round wooden stick, trying to figure out what its specific function is. I have to say that this uncle's aura is very weird, very xenophobic, no one instinctively wants to stand beside him, only the cocoon fireworm snack bar who is used to his breath and innocent and lacks heart is willing to stand next to him.

In order to stand opposite Xu Zheng, the senior class and the junior class and Angel fought in order to stand opposite Xu Zheng, and were taken advantage of by several girls in Xingbadai, and stood on the opposite side with a smile. The big guy who came out of the Warcraft Forest was really embarrassed to compete with the juniors, and stood farther away. There were others, laughing, extremely unorthodox quarrelling, a group of orc guys with beast heads and brains standing on the left wing, and Ogma Academy standing on the right wing, looking at a few gnomes sandwiched in the middle with great interest - hey, their height was almost level with the table, but I didn't know how to make dumplings.

In this way, the entire inauguration process has not been finished after ten minutes.

Xu Zheng just laughed in his eyes, what he wanted was this kind of atmosphere, this is called the New Year, isn't it?

Fifteen minutes passed, and it was over when it was in place. Bruce was itchy about this kind of thing that needed to be eaten by hand, and reminded Xu Zheng: "It's almost there, let's start!"
