Chapter 133 Eating Ten Bowls
The next day,

Huanglongxi Village was bustling with activity as villagers busied themselves. The men had clear divisions of labor, some moving tables and chairs. These tables and chairs were collected from various households; although they were not all the same style, they were all spotlessly clean.

They busily arranged the tables and chairs neatly, adjusting their positions from time to time to ensure everyone could sit comfortably. Meanwhile, several other men were butchering a pig.

The women were busy in the kitchen, the largest room in the village, which was now filled with the aroma of various ingredients. They chatted and laughed as they deftly prepared the food.

The youngest daughter, wearing an apron, picked fresh, vibrant green vegetables from her family's garden.

Meanwhile, outside the kitchen, Gouwazi, the village's most famous chef, was skillfully processing the meat, frying, sautéing, or stewing it, and the aroma wafted from the pot, filling the entire village.

The village elders sat to one side, their faces beaming with happiness. Watching the busy villagers, they kept muttering, "It's been so long since it's been this lively." They would also occasionally give instructions to the younger people, telling them about the traditions and experiences of hosting a large feast.

The entire village was immersed in a joyful, peaceful, and busy atmosphere, with everyone looking forward to the grand feast, a magnificent gathering for the whole village.

"Mommy, what are they celebrating? They're even slaughtering a pig." Tuantuan wanted to break free from the lively scene, but Anzhi stopped her in the end.

Rimai Yongga casually remarked, "Hahaha, they're celebrating the giant pandas'..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Anzhi gave him a death stare, which startled Rimai Yongga so much that he immediately took back what he was about to say, and then wisely made a slapping motion.

Shen Anzhi kept stroking Tuantuan in his arms and said, "Today, there is a big event in the village, so they are holding a big feast. Mommy is telling you that you can't get out of bed today. You have to stay in Mommy's arms."

Tuantuan was clearly unwilling, craning her neck to watch the group of people slaughtering the pig, seemingly very enthusiastic about going up to press the pig down, but Shen Anzhi forcefully pressed her back. She knew that on this occasion, she really couldn't let this little guy get on the ground, otherwise, this grand banquet would really be turned into a grand banquet.

Tuantuan stayed in Shen Anzhi's arms, but her eyes were fixed on the bustling scene of preparations for the grand feast in the village. Her little paws kept pawing at Shen Anzhi's arm, wanting to get down and join in the fun.

"Tuantuan, you little glutton, can you smell the delicious food?" Shen Anzhi could tell from Tuantuan's eager look that the boy's curiosity had been piqued again.

"Mommy, I want to go see too." Tuantuan nodded her little head vigorously, her eyes full of longing.

Anzhi's eyes were full of doting affection, and she immediately said seriously, "But Mommy is telling you, you can't cause trouble. You can only watch from afar and can't disturb everyone, understand? Otherwise, Mommy will really not want you anymore."

"Yes." Tuantuan nodded repeatedly, her two dark circles under her eyes seemingly a testament to her credibility.

Shen Anzhi gently placed Tuantuan on the ground and instructed, "Mommy will say it again, don't make trouble."

As soon as Tuantuan landed, it waddled towards the place where the feast was prepared, its little legs swaying as it walked. Its little nose kept sniffing the fragrance in the air, and its little eyes looked left and right curiously.

It watched the men bustling around the stove, the flames roaring, the food bubbling in the pot, and found it all very interesting. Then it saw the women going in and out of the kitchen, carrying all sorts of delicious dishes, and its mouth watered almost instantly. One moment they were chasing ducks, the next chickens, and then they were playing with the children.

It weaved through the crowd. The old village chief, Yang Daiwu, had been so frightened by this guy in the duck pen last time that he actually handed Tuantuan a small chicken leg this time, trying to test it out.

Tuantuan paused for a moment, then happily took the food with its paws, sat on the ground, and ate it with relish. After finishing, it wiped its mouth with its little paws and continued to explore the large banquet area full of tempting food. Soon, more than a dozen large tables were set up in the courtyard, and the villagers took their seats.

Shen Anzhi was worried that Tuantuan would cause trouble, so he kept a close eye on the panda's movements. Fortunately, today was not bad; apart from being playful, Tuantuan did not cause any outrageous things.

"Miss Shen, please have a seat," said Village Chief Yang Daiwu respectfully, his eyes full of sincere invitation.

Just as Shen Anzhi was about to sit down, Rimai Yongga stopped him and said softly, "Sit next to me."

Shen Anzhi looked bewildered, and Village Chief Yang invited her again: "Heroine, please sit here, please sit here."

But Rimai Yongga still tugged at Shen Anzhi's sleeve and shook his head, saying, "That's the seat of honor."

Take your seat!

Shen Anzhi seemed to understand and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, village chief, I am just a passerby in Huanglongxi Village. It is already an honor to be invited to the banquet. I absolutely cannot sit in the seat of honor."

After saying that, Shen Anzhi gritted his teeth and plopped down in Rimai Yongga's seat and refused to get up.

This pressure fell on Rimai Yongga.
Rimai Yongga was also very sensible. He persuaded the village chief with his silver tongue and the demeanor of a guard general.

"Bring on ten large bowls!"

With a loud shout, the entire village seemed to be injected with a surge of excitement.

The first thing served is a tasting bowl. In a large bowl, the bottom is lined with a thick layer of glutinous rice, steamed until soft, sticky, and sweet. On top of the glutinous rice are carefully sliced ​​chunks of meat. Take a bite, and the aroma of meat and rice blend together in your mouth.

Next up is braised pork belly, with thinly sliced ​​pieces of pork belly neatly arranged in a bowl, skin side down, covered with glossy black preserved mustard greens. The salty aroma of the preserved mustard greens and the rich flavor of the pork spread across the tongue.

Dongpo pork is also a highlight of the Ten Bowls. The square pieces of pork are stewed until they turn a bright red color. The meat becomes tender and soft in the slow simmering. Each piece is carefully tied with rope to maintain its shape.

Steamed pork with rice flour is equally impressive. Selected pork is cut into small pieces and coated with fine rice flour, which is mixed with seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, making it irresistible.

The final dishes included steamed pork ribs, crispy pork belly, braised chicken, braised duck, steamed pork knuckle, and mixed soup...

Every dish served made Shen Anzhi's mouth water.

"Hehe, come, come, Miss Shen." Old Village Chief Yang Daiwu stood up and handed Shen Anzhi a cup of wine, saying, "This is a traditional banquet dish from our Sichuan region. There are relatively few dishes, so it may not suit your taste."

Shen Anzhi knew this was just polite talk. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right? This was already the highest level of courtesy that Huanglongxi Village had shown: "Very good, very good, really, it's so delicious."
