Chapter 188 Mother works the hardest
This "little dessert" before dinner finally ended when the bestial husbands of both families stepped in to remind them.
When the little ones came back from washing, they felt the atmosphere was a little subtle. They glanced at their fathers who exuded a resentful aura, and looked at their brothers and sisters around them in confusion. Forget it, they didn’t understand the adults’ affairs, so they filled their stomachs first.
"Mom, please announce that dinner is ready. I'm about to faint from hunger." Jingchu had been sleeping and didn't feel hungry, but since he woke up, his stomach has been rumbling.
"Okay, everyone, sit down and let's eat!" Ruan Tang announced loudly that the meal was ready amidst the eager gazes of all the children. The blush on her pretty face had not yet faded, and her lips were a little swollen. After she finished speaking, she glared at Qi Xuan, who was sitting a few seats away from her. The latter thought she was flirting with him, and he touched his sexy thin lips with his thumb, which was very teasing and lingering.
Ruan Tang quickly looked away. When did this bastard learn all this?
As a guest, Long Ming was arranged to sit at the other end of the long table facing Ruan Tang. He looked at the distance between himself and her with some frustration, and when he looked up, he saw her and the black panther exchanging glances. He simply stopped looking and prepared to turn his depression into appetite and use food to soothe his unhappy mood.
He had just reached out to grab the roasted exotic beast meat in the basin in front of him when Lingze, who was beside him, picked up the chopsticks placed in front of him and handed them to him, saying, "We don't eat with our hands in our family, we use chopsticks."
Lingze spoke in a normal tone, not trying to curry favor with the dragon beastman because he was the high priest of the dragon clan and had great fighting power, nor was he being disrespectful because he didn't know how to use chopsticks. Seeing the dragon beastman looking at him in confusion, Lingze picked up his chopsticks and demonstrated to him, "Hold them like this, use them to pick up the food from the bowl and put it in your bowl before eating."
Bowls were often used by Long Ming when he was in the dragon clan. Bowls could be used to hold soups and water, which females liked. Males would also use bowls to hold minced meat or wild beast milk and scoop it up with a spoon to feed the cubs.
But these chopsticks... he had never used them. He had awakened his superpowers at the age of eight and had been sent on various missions by the Beast God. He had been running around in every corner of the Orc Continent all year round. It was rare for him to sit down and have a good meal like today. Most of the time, he would hunt wild animals and eat them raw. When he got tired of eating raw meat, he would just make a fire, put a rack on it, put some salt crystals on it, and roast it.
It’s not like them who have to be so particular about eating.
He looked up impatiently and was about to say that he could just use his hands, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that the little female across the table was looking over here after hearing their voices. He immediately suppressed his impatient expression and carefully followed Baihu to learn how to use the two wooden sticks in his hands.
Seeing that Lingze got along well with the guests and took good care of them, Ruan Tang began to eat the delicious food in her bowl with peace of mind.
She picked up a piece of thickly cut meat from the bowl and sniffed it. "What a nice smell! Is this the crocodile meat we hunted today?"
This was the first time she had eaten crocodile meat in her two lifetimes combined. Ruan Tang felt secretly excited. In the world where she lived in her previous life, this creature was a protected animal, and hunting it was illegal. She had heard of people raising crocodiles and taking their skins to make all kinds of high-end leather products, and she had also heard of those bosses selling crocodile meat. However, as an ordinary person in her previous life, she had never eaten this thing.
She looked at Lin Yeqing at the other table: "Ye Zi, have you ever eaten this?"
"No, it smells quite good. I wonder what it tastes like." Lin Yeqing almost hunted a mutant crocodile in her previous life, but that was almost the end. In the end, their team ended up in failure. This thing was extremely ferocious before it mutated, let alone after it became a mutant beast. There were a total of ten people in their team, and they were starving. They finally found a mutant beast and thought they could have a good meal. In the end, they didn't kill the crocodile and were almost eaten by it.
"Then try it."
Ruan Tang's voice brought Lin Yeqing's thoughts back from their wandering state. She said, "Let me try the poison first."
After she finished speaking, she stuffed a large piece of roasted crocodile meat into her mouth. Before she could even make a sound of satisfaction, there were exclamations from the table where the little ones were.
Jingchu was the first one to eat. He said as he ate, "Wow, mother, this crocodile meat is so delicious. It's much more tender than any other exotic animal meat we've eaten before. And the fathers roasted it so well. It smells so good!"
"It's so good, I don't even have time to talk. Mom, please hurry up and do it more often." Chi Shiwu took several pieces of the exotic beast meat in his mouth and swallowed them in one gulp. His words were a little unclear.
"Eat well and don't choke." Ruan Tang heard her son's unclear voice and reminded him worriedly.
"It's really delicious. You don't need to chew too much. It's very tender. The meat tastes great when grilled. Come on, eat it." Lin Yeqing finally finished swallowing a mouthful of the fragrant grilled meat. He couldn't wait to pick up another piece with his chopsticks and urged Ruan Tang to eat quickly.
"Okay, eat quickly and stop talking, or your saliva will fall on the barbecue. Haha, I'm going to start eating."
Hearing them all say that the crocodile meat was delicious, Ruan Tang's appetite was almost aroused. She was originally hungry after a nap, and seeing everyone eating so happily, her appetite also improved a lot.
"Ruan Ruan, eat quickly. I baked these myself. They should taste good." Mo Ran picked up a few more pieces and put them in her bowl.
"Okay, you guys eat too." Ruan Tang finally took her first bite and was immediately amazed by the crocodile meat. "This tastes really delicious. I kind of regret letting those prey get away."
Thinking of the thousands of prey that escaped, Ruan Tang felt heartbroken for a second.
"Let's go hunting next time." Chi Yuan heard the regret in her voice, walked over and patted her back to comfort her.
"Haha, I'm fine, I was just talking. The situation at the time didn't allow us to stay longer. I know. Ah Yuan, go back and sit down to eat."
She looked at her family and friends who were all gathered together, and finally her gaze fell on Long Ming who was sitting across from her. Seeing that he had already learned to use chopsticks, she smiled and said loudly, "Everyone, eat more. You've worked so hard today."
"The one who works the hardest is Mom!" the cubs said in unison.
Ruan Tang's friends: ...
He always interrupts them when they want to say something. It seems like these brats should be kicked out of the house as soon as possible to experience life on their own!
Lin Yeqing: ...
She wants to have a litter of puppies more and more. They are heartwarming and cute. Who wouldn’t want one?
Long Ming: ...
These kids are okay, they are sweet-talkers and know that their mom works the hardest!
Ruan Tang was concentrating on drying meat. Her children had always been the ones who supported her the most and loved her the most, so she wanted to teach each of them to be better and make each of them stronger so that they would not be bullied by anyone in the future!
Seeing her busy eating the barbecue, Bai Lang scooped a bowl of broth into her bowl and placed it in front of her, saying to her, "After you finish the barbecue, have some soup."
Otherwise, if you only eat barbecue, you will be thirsty soon.
